DR.. johnson stoutly poohpoohed the
notion Of the effect of weather on the
mind. "To temperance, he wrote,
''every day is bright, and every hour is
propitious to diligence. Johnson. how
ever, was little given to analyze the in
fuences Of nature, or any other intiu-
ences, upon himself. And it may we'll
be that this disposition ON his part was
in the spirit of the stoics and in def
ance of his own feelings, to which he
disdained to give way. 1t seemed to
him a sorry thing that "a being en-
dowed with reason" should resign his
powers to the influences Of the air and
live in dependence on the weather and
the wind. Temple Bar.

THERE was once upon time in the

THIS year the transitOry season be-
tween winter and summer usually
called spring has been practically I'M
known. Our winter did not cease
until nearly the last of April and in a
week vegetation energetically effaced
the dull brown of the hills At the
present time everything is covered
with velvety green. Many of the
gardens ALREADY show healthy beds of
lettuce, raGishes, beans, peas and
other early table vegetables. This is
remarkable, considering the fact that
last year on May 25th, many of the
store teams did their delivering with
sleighs, about eight inches of snow
having fallen the preceding night.
JUDGE r. r. NELSON, of the United
States circuit court of the district of
Minnesota, Friday announced his de-
termination to resign the judgeship.
Judge Nelson has been 80 years in
judicial life in Minnesota, the oldest
federal judge in commission in the
United States and the only federal
judge whose commission antedates
the war Of the rebellion. He was ap-
pointed by President Buchanan in
1857. The name Of Justice William
Lochren has been sent to the senate
by the president for the vacancy and
Dominick /. Murphy, of Pennsylvania,
to be commissioner of pensions, vice
William Lochren, resigned.
Many of the old leaders in ST. Louis
county politics have turned their
particular efforts towards the nomin-
alton Of Lee for governor. Still there
is seemingly strong Clough faction
which will not surrender. From all
present appearances, Lee has much
of the support of the 9Th district, and
several others as well. Speaker Van
SAINT has also several hardy political
friends in this district championing
his cause, with apparently good effect
much talk has already been set adrift.
1T has been intimated in some of
the papers that Senator Knute Nelson
will this fall stump the state in be-
half of the reelection Of Gov. Clough.
1t would be good idea to wait and
see who gets the nomination before
making such intimations. Senator
Nelson when working for Knute did a
large stroke of vote getting, but,
whether he could do the same for
Clough is question not so easily
answered.
THE overly-smart idiot who fills q
rowboat with friends, rows into deep
and then rocks the boat, has begun
his operations early this season. This
idiotic bud usually begins to blossom
early and blooms all summer and is a
brother to the later-in-the season
ninny who shoots at everything that
moves in the woods during what he
calls a hunt.
Our old friend J. Adam Bede is at
present starring the hamlets with q
lecture entitled, "Fools in Paradise. y
1t is well known fact that from

there have such critters existed in
paradise but by reason of their being
such, have been ANONYMOUSLY bounced
therefrom. There will be another
exodus after the coming November.

THE A. p. A. has announced as the
keystone of that order that papist,
no matter how liberal nominally, is
not a good citizen of the United
States, and cannot be until he has
renowned his religion. If we are not
mistaken, our constitution somewhere
says something about there being no
religious test for citizenship in this
country. What kind of citizen is
he who attemps to violate that con-
stitution and organizes a secret, oath
bound society for the purpose OF de-
stroying the religious liberty which
that constitution guarantees?
