Looking Ahead.

Senator John Sharp Williams o.

the Philadelphia Telegraph that some
lawyers are compelled to build on the
future, and told this story as an eI.

AUTHORS AS LONG WAL Krpc
Dickens, Wadsworth, southev E..

Pedestrians Of Prominene.

1t Is calculated that Wordswo,., l..
his many years of sauntering mr.1
have Travelled distance of ,SOMn
miles. What sights he saw durin, sw.t
prolonged and delightful wander,,s.
only those who have the poets MIND
and eyc can even guess, observes Tn0
don Tit-Bits.
Charles Dickens was cona,m.a
tramp, and no doubt acquired his e,
perience Of "life on the road" from a.
tual acquaintance with all sorts n
vagabonds and odd characters.
One Of the most remarkable n, r,
professional walkers was Professr
Wil-on, the "Christopher North" Of m.
erature. His fine physique and gre.,
endurance prompted him to the Der.
Torrance Of wonderful feats, which
seemed to him entirely matter Of
course. He once walked 40 miles IN
eight hours, and at another tins
walked a distance of 50 miles In a
hours.
Henry Fawcett, also, was a tireles
walker, and one who, when deprived
OF sight, did not think of rellnquishius
this among many forms of exercise. His
was familiar figure on the roads
about Cambridge, and there is no e1.
aggeration in saying that few men
blessed with all his senses could enjoy
nature more throughly than he.
Southey, worn and preyed upon BY
mental application and the practical
anxieties Of everyday life, found bis
greatest relief in tramping about the
country.
John Stuart Mill delighted In pedes
TRAN tours, and Charles Lamb though
he loved town better than country, was
one who believed in sweeping cobwebs
from the brain by brisk and continuous
walking.

hog manure is usually left where u

method of disposal is economical. but
IN others 1t may be very wasteful
Where hogs are fed concentrates the
manure Is one Of the richest produced
on the farm. Prof. F. L. Dulev gives
three principal ways by which the mn.
nure from hogs may be returned to
the land: ny Pasturing crops, (2) es.

I'm order to fix the opinions of his
colleagues, McHenry drew up four
propositions on the most consequen.
tial articles, to lay before them at
their meeting on the following eve
ming. The propositions are given here
in full. The diary then proceeds with
the business Of the convention on the
7th. The discussion then conferred on
the right Of suffrage. Governor Nor
ris held that to give that right to
all freemen the government would I'M
dOubtedly become an aristocracy, as
1t would put it in the power of men
whose business created numerous de-
pendents. Doctor Franklin also spoke
on the subject:
He observed that In time Of war

of citizens. Our late war was an in
stance of what they could suffer and
perform. If denied the right of suf-
frage 1t would debase their spirit and

"From then on matters progressed
rapidly although not without debate
of every viewpoint and angle. BY
September the system was in shape
to refer to a grand committee. They
worked diligently and made some of
the most important revisions that had
thus far been thought Of. One of the
principal Of these was the plan for
the election Of the president. Septem-
Der the report was agreed to, and
with some amendments was referred
to the committee of detail. On Septem-
Der 10 the second printed report was re-
ceived. This was read. discussed and
few further changes made, and on
the 18th was ordered engrossed and
500 copies struck. On the 18th the
final Constitution was delivered and
the delegates proceeded to sign it,

Gerry being the only members present

ident Of the convention. A committee
was then appointed to prepare and re-
port rules for conducting business.
This detail being satisfactorily ar
ranged, Gov. Edmund Randolph Of
Virginia opened the business of the
convention. He proceeded to outline
the objections to the Articles of Con-
federation the inadequacy of which
called forth this meeting. Randolph's
speech Is given in full, in addition to
the resolutions he offered as a basis
or working plan for the Constitution.
These resolutions were Is in number
and bore the distinction Of being the
first plan to be offered for the closer
and firmer welding Of a union which
had been rapidly drifting towards dis
solution. After Mr.. Randolph's adj
dress and resolutions, the convention
resolved itself into a committee of the
whole to take into consideration the
state Of the American Union
ION May 80 began the true battle
between the partisans Of states rights
and the group which favored strong
centralized power and afterward be-
came known as the 'Federalists.' BY
this time ten states were represented
In the convention, and Randolph's
resolutions were taken up In order.
ION August the convention ad-
journed till the following day to give
the members an opportunity to con-
slider the report. Mr.. McHenry sug-
gested a meeting with Messrs. Car
roll, Jenifer, Mercer and Martin of
the Maryland delegation to confer on
the report and to prepare to act in uni
son. This stormy conference took
place at Mr.. Carroll's lodgings. and
was marked by strong opinions.
"Here occurs an interesting note de-
scribing an incident Of that meeting:

Another method pointed out BY Mr..
Lewis for saving the trees is to paint

such as bordeaux mixture may also
be used with good results. Soft soan.
creosote, and sour milk, and similar
solutions are sometimes applied in the
same way, but are inferior to lime and
sulphur for the purpose.
One Of the best ways to safeguard
the trees, according to Professor Lew.
Is, Is to wrap them with screen wire

- = EW YORK. Unexpectedly
there has come to light an
M unpublished diary of the
meetings which resulted in
the Constitution and in the
decision that the United
States of America should
be republic and not monarchy.
Those conferences were secret
each member Of the convention was
adjured to destroy his notes
and besides the authorized record Of
Madison only two, 1t seems, Of the
private diaries were known to have
been preserved. Lately the Anderson
galleries announced without date a
Forthcoming sale Of Washingtoniana.
Almost Immediately a visitor, repre-
senting the McHenry family Of Mary
land, called upon Mr.. Sampson and
submitted the diary Of James McHen-
~, secretary on the stan of General
Washington and second secretary Of
war-a manuscript not known outside
that family.
James McHenry, delegate from Mary
land, took an active part In the forma-
tion Of the Constitution. He labored
successfully in his own state to bring
about Its ratification, Notwithstanding
the powerful opposition Of Luther
Martin and Samuel Chase. Mr.. Samp-
son says Of the newly revealed "Orig-
inal Manuscript Diary or Journal" kept
by James McHenry during his attend
ance at the Federal Constitutional con-
vention from May Is. the opening, to
September 10, the closing day:
This Journal gives remarkably
clear account Of the deliberations of
the Federal convention. McHenry took
his seat on the opening day Of the sea.

historic value Of the Forthcoming pro-

the 25th when. as stated in the Jour-
nal, seven states being represented,
