The Tarbox Lumber Co. SHE READ THE CARDS/ And Told Joachim Murat, King Naples, How He Would Die, Fortune telling by moans o f cards (cartomancy) was extensively p ra o tieed its France during tho period o f tho first consulship. JJofabla aiqong the professional practition­ ers was one MlJe, Lenormand, whose most eminent client was Na­ poleon Bonaparte. The Empress Josephine and Joachim Murat when king of Nit- pies frequently consulted with the sibyl, and Bernadotte, the king of Sweden, it i r recorded, once visited her and listened to a card reading which thoroughly startled him. When Bonaparte’s nephew became emperor o f the French cartomancy Was being practiced in exalted cir­ cles, for, from stories and com­ ment o f his ‘ confidants, It is known that Napoleon III. had as great a belief in such matters as his illustrious uncle. Joachim Murat, Icing of. Naples, once sought Mile. Lenormand to gain ihformation regarding his fu­ ture, The cards were produced and Joachim was asked to cut them. The king of diamonds appeared, and the sibyl, after much pondering, conveyed to the monarch the pleas­ ing information that he woxild be hanged. Somewhat skeptical, Joa- .china laid 10 napoleons on the table and begged for another trial. Again he cut.the.king of diamonds. De­ termined to prove the cards false, he deposited 50 napoleons on the fable and divided the deck. With pitiless iteration the king of dia­ monds again appeared. The proph­ etess told him (bat if he did nht die on the gal. s he would he brought to his end by a musket shot. Murat met his fate by military execution,in Calabria in 1816, Bernadotte was introduced to the' eartomancer by one o f his aids, who presented the, officer who later become king of Sweden as a mer­ chant anxious to know the outcome pf certain commercial speculations. The time was 1804,' b e fo re , the beginning o f Napoleon’s series of greater successes. Mile. Lenormand not only identified Bernadotte by means o f her cards, but predicted the rise of Bonaparte and her vis­ itor’s association with the Corsican, meanwhile advising him as to his future conduct. Bernadotte is said to have been so impressed that he heeded all’ the sibyl’s warnings and when, as she prophesied, he became Icing of-Sweden his faith in her pow­ ers and in those o f her card pack was unshakable.—New York Mail, COHSTfTUTIOHAL CONVENTIONS j THEEIILOFBIGOTSANDTHESCHEItll.E BY PROF. C. B. GALBREATH, FORMER OHIO STATE CIBRARIAN The Wolf Spider, The female of the curiously named wolf spider lays its eggs und immediately covers them with a soft silken covering. No matter where she goes she will carry these cov­ ered eggs about with her, and she will, i f necessary, sacrifice her life to protect the eggs, or'the young, which, soon after, they are hatched, she carries on her back while she 'gathers food for herself and the little ones. They , remain holding to their mother’s 1 back until they are almost as large as their parent, when they seem, suddenly to dis­ cover iheir strength, and, unnatural* as it would sedm;. they set upon, their mother and in a very short time kill and devour her.—Harper’s , Weekly, - Bismarck'* Regret*. Shortly after 1870 Bismarck was complaining that life had brought him no happiness or love, “But,” said a friend, “ you have made a great nation happy.” '^Ycs ” replied the prince, “but many people un­ happy. But for mo three great Wars wpuld not liatfe been waged, 80,000 men would not have per­ ished, and parents, brothers,-sisters, widows, would not now be mourn­ ing That I have to Bottle with God. But I have had little or no pleasure from what 1 have done— on the contrary, much, vexation anxiety and toil.” The Sort of Job He Wanted, “ There’s what I'm looking for,” said the lazy man going through the Want advertisements for an easy {oh as his eye lighted on a call for lanvassers to sell something that “would sell itself.” ; “ That's the sort of a job I want,” he said to himself, “ something that I can earn money at without work.” And he thought that really some day he must go down and look ’ em up,—New York Sun. ■ To Preserve Goal* Coal left out of doors, exposed to the weather for, say, a month, loses one-third of its heating quality. If a tori o f coal is placed on the ground, and loft there and another ton is placed under a shed the latter loses 25 per Cent of its heating power, the former about 47 per cent. Hence it is a great saving o f coal to have it in a dry place, well protected on all sid?s from the weather. In 1800 the population of the North. _ " Immugurated, a system of canals to connect Lake Erie and the Ohio river. A way must he provided to transport' the surplus products of the .farm* This the state undertook to do. The first constitution, while it did not con* template this assumption of power, altered no bar to the system of in*, temal 1mmovemants that was gradu­ ally developed under the fostering care of paternal legislation. Turn­ pikes, reservoirs and canals were con­ structed. While they materially ac­ celerated the development or the re­ sources of the state, they brought with their advantages the" burden of debt1to the shoulders of the peoplel Ah enterprise so* vast could not be undertake!} in that day by private capital, and the state was ill prepared to complete and■administer with cred­ it to itself, the work*that it essayed' with vigor and enthusiasm to accom­ plish, *. • , Before proceedingvanx further, it may not bo out of place to define two* terms occasionally used in the pres­ entation of the general tobject. under discussion: . . :-v‘ Bill of RlghtB. This, as here used, Is a series of declarations, In ,a con­ stitution, of tho general and futida- menthl rights reserved to the people. They, include, of course, the natural and.inalienable rights pf. “life, liberty, and pursuit of'happiness,” more spt-; ciflcally stated. ‘ As an illustration, Section 7|':0f the Bill of Rights of our present constitution, which is almost .identical' with Section :;4: hf/the cor­ responding article of our first Con­ stitution, is hefe presented: ' • ’‘All ;meh: have■’ a- natural and in- defeasible''fight to worship Almighty God according to the dictates to tlie'ir own corisCience. No persbn shall be compelled to attend, erect, or support any j.laee of worship, or maintain. any form of. worship, against his con­ sent; and no preference shall be given by law to any religious society; nor shall any Interference: with the rights o f ,conscience be permitted, No rellg'ous test shall be required as a qualification for olllce nor shall any nerson be ineompetent to be a .Witness, on account o f.'.his religious' belief: but nothing herein shall b:e construed to dispense with oaths or affirmations. Religion,' -morality and knowledge, ■however, being essential to good gov­ ernment, it shall be* the duty o f the General Assembly to pass suitable laws to protect every religious de­ nomination la the ,peaceable enjoy­ ment;,of its own mode of worship and to .encourage schools andthe means ' of Instruction.” , While tire Bill of Rights, in our first and second1constitutions include west Territory, including the present otates of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi­ gan, Wisconsin and a portion of Min­ nesota, was only 45,365. The cen­ sus of 1S1Q showed for Ohio 'alone a population of 230,760, a remarkable increase of more than 500 ucr cent- over that of tho entire territory ten years before. The- following decades continued to show a marked and Bub-, etantlal growth. The population in 1820 was 581,205; in 1830, 037,903; in 1840, J.,519,467; in 1850, 1,980,329. Two influences contributed to the rapid settling up of the state: 1. Its natural resources, 2. Its free institutions. With a climate of extremes in tem­ perature and humidity, with a gen­ erous rainfall, equitably distributed, through the- year, experience has shown that this region is well adapted to the vegetable and animal life of the temperate zone, the favorite abode of man in a civilized state, 'in al­ most every _portion of the state springs gush from the earth aud unite their waters }n streams that flow in­ to o'ur rivers and lakes. The land is generally fertile, in some portions re­ markably so. Mere may fie produced in abundance cereals, grasses and fruits. For raiment, flax may be gathered from the fields and wool shorn from, the .flocks,- Conditions are favorable to the raising of live stock and the hills abound in mineral wealth. The varied and abundant re­ sources invite to many, departments of human endeavor* An orator at a local Ohio gathering once said, “shut this county out from all the rest of .the world, and man could labor and live here In the full enjoyment of civ­ ilized life,” The' element of truth In this statement has invited to that diversification of industry and enter­ prise so necessary to. a growing and prosperous state* The migration to ..the Northwest was greatly accelerated by the attrac­ tive force of free institutions—the charters of civil and religious liberty, the ordinance of 1787 and the first constitution of. Ohio, It (is sca-cely necessary to quote from the former its familiar provision;, "There shall be neither^slavery, norinvoluntary servitude in the said territory, other­ wise than in the punishment of crimes whereof the party Shall have been duly convicted,” The motives that led to the unani­ mous adoption, of this provision by the Continental 'Congress have, bean respectively twenty-eight and twenty the subject of much speculation.. Why sections, each covers essentially the did.the members from th,e slave hold- Same ground and the1concluding pee­ ing states vote fbr it7. It is claimed tioa of -the second* lijce that pf the that their action was riot Wholly dls- first, debates: interested—that they feared' commer­ cial competition with the Northwest and thought that by depriving tho territory of slave labor they might secure an advantage over thoso who should' migrate to. tills region. With slave labor, Virginia and Kentucky could deliver farm products In the markets at less expense than could prospective competitors- across the river. If this was the logic of the southern leaders, it was reversed by the logic of history; The beacon light of liberty that the founders raised in the wi’derness called over the mountains and across the river a people alien neither in race nor in spirit to Our institutions. Among them were the demure and peaceful Quakers from North Caro­ lina and Pennsylvania,, the sturdy •puritans from Now Ehgland and tho ambitious and politically dominant pioneers from Virginia, In the ranks of these adventurous and enterpris­ ing spirits were those who had shown their devotion to the infant.republic on the fields of tho Revolution. When Lafayette on his tour throughtour country, visited cur state in 1825, he portrayed, In ills brief, impjomptu speech at Cincinnati, tho fact ami the cause of our rapid development as a state: “The hlchest reward that can be be­ stowed on a Revolutionary veteran Is to welcome hint to a tight ol‘ the bless­ ings. which* have issued from our struggle for Independence, freedom and equal lights: Where can these enjoyments he mote complete than in the state of Ohio, whore even among the prodigies of American progress we are so particularly to admire the rapid and wonderful results of free Institutions, free spirit and free industry.” Free Institutions, free . spirit aiitl Fee Industry,—these attracted Puri­ tan and Quaker and Cavalier, and Used them bn the altar of freedom. The Influences here set forth were not the only Ones that were active In the building up of our state, Thoy were the most Important, howgver Tho cithers were collateral and con­ tributory. With the rapid growth of our state came a corresponding development of agriculture. The diversification of our Industries had its Inception early, but H became eonSplciuously promi­ nent subsequent to 1850. The people early realized the need of better facilities for transportation Roads' Were to be hewn out of tho forest; navigable streams were to bo improved, aiicl utilized, and following the example of New York, under the' guidance of DeWitt GHnton, our state “This enumeration of rights shall not be construed to* Impair or deny others retained by the people; and all powers, not herein delegated, remain with tho people." - Schedule. The purpose o# the sched­ ule, as set forth in the proceedings of the first constitutional convention, Is “to carry Into complete' operation the constitution and government.” A new constitution brings forth changes. It supercedes a previously existing constitution or Instrument of govern­ ment* It is Important that the change be attended with as little friction as possible. To provide for this, a schedule of several sections Is gen- eraly necessary, specifying when and how the constitution shall be sub­ mitted to a vote of the people, and when ami how, if adopted, Us provls- Inons slmll go Into effect. Jefferson has already been quoted In favor of providing frequent op­ portunity for amending or revising State constitutions. It is apparent that tho need of change is d; nondent in no small measure upon the char­ acter of the constitution. One may be made so brief and general In its provisions that It will serve for a long time or possibly for all time. The preamble of our National Consti­ tution could not be much improved. Perhaps It would not he changed at all if our ablest statesmen were" to rewrite that constitution today. The bill of rights In our first constitution, in substance, if not in form, will doubtless, in the future as in the past, bo a part of any constitution that tho. people of Ohio may adopt, The constitution of 1802 contained prhvlslons less flexible than those In its bill of righto, and It wao doubt­ less these that Jefferson had la mind when he crltlsed that instrument as on the whole too detailed and speclflo. The article which for this and other reasons wac first proven inadequate and ill adapted to the changing con­ ditions of our rapidly expanding popu­ lation, was the one relpMng to the judiciary. Its chief defect grew out of the fact that It made the whole judicial system subject absolutely to the, legislature. This lr, part grew out of the ’belief, generally prevailing in our countr - at the beginning of the last century, that the people were not to be trusted with the direct election of their officials, that this power was to bo delegated to a more select body chosen by them,—In the new state of Ohio, to the legislature. The result was. that the judicial department, which should be the. most Indepen­ dent of all, was made the pl'ant crea­ ture of the law making body. rsc* To Gnre a Co&in .L « R t f v « B r o s io Q c f i i d n e i ^ M i aiaaMtefe X X GET OUR PRICES ON PRINTING X X !
