MOBE HOMESTEAD.
Ur. Brown, of the Thirty-ninth Dip.
triet, offered an ordinance providing that
should the people at the eleotion on the
ratification of the Constitution vote in
favor of the homestead of 1868 instead
of the homestead provided by Ibis Con
stitntion, a debtor shall have the right to
waive exemption in the same manner and
with the same restrictions as in the pres
ent Constitution.
Ur. Toombs, of the Twenty-ninth Dis
triot opposed the adoption of the ordi
nance. Ho tbonght that to adopt it
would be treating the people fraudulently
by cramming into the new homestead law
the most objectionable feature of the
old.
The ordinance was lost, and the Oonven
Uon adjourned until 3:30 p. m.
AFTERNOON KSSION.
The Convention re-assembled at 3:30
P. M.
Ur. Toombs, of the Twenty-Dinth Dis
Jr'ct, offered the following: That the
words “ooroners, litigation, quarantine
and roads” be added after the word
“jurors" in section six, paragraph seoond,
line three of the taxation report. This
authorizes oounties to tax themselves for
the purposes above named at the time.
The amendment was adopted through the
reiterated exertions of Mr. Barrow, of
the Twenty-third Distriot, who cham
pioned a reconsideration for this purpose
at tho time. It is now safely engineered
through and another sot of midsummer
madness corrected.
Awaiting the final report of the Bevis-
ing Committees and the Committee on
Style, the Convention adjourned till
morning, after a resolution adjourning
tine die Saturday had been twioe voted
down.
The Convention will adjourn at that
time. The grand ratification meeting
here has been postponed till to-morrow
night.

THE DEADWOOD NT AGE.
SOME OF THE PLEABUUES AMD PENALTIES OF
DBIVINO IT—WHY ONE MAN DBOF-
PED THE HEINS.
Black Hills eorrai|ion(lonca of the New York
Herald.]
Well, yer see, ther’ was a revinoo agent
oome out to collect the Government taxes
on whiskey a few woeks ago. He got a lot
of money in Deadwood, where every other
house is a s'loon, an’ he left town late one
night in my stage with $10,000 on him.
He eat on the box next to me, oarried the
money on his person an’ was as wide
awake an' game a fellow as I ever see.
He was armed with a Winchester repeat
in' rifle with sixteon barrels an’two eight-
chambered revolvers. About midnight
we wbb to go through Dead Man's Canyon,
several miles nut o’ Deadwood, about the
darkest orneryost place as ever was, I
reokon. I knew if we was to be attaoked
it'd be there, an’ I told him so, an' that
we was almost oertain to be stopped; but,
Lord bless you, he didn't show no more
fear than you do now; but there was a
kind of a determined look in his eye an’
I could tell he was layin' bis plans, al
though ho never said a word. Direolly we
come to the canyon—a dark, rooky hell
hole, made by the devil for road agon's—
we listened with-oil our ears. Suddenly
we heard it, low at first, then growin'
louder rapidly. It was the ohioketty.olaok
of ponies' hoof on the road behind us. I
didn't need to tell him what it meant. We
knew tber’ was a good many; that they
were gainin’ on us fast,an' I knew that they
would attack the coaoh just as it wbb
f oin' slow up the rise out of the eanyon.
told him this, whon, qhtok as a flash,
he jumped off an' called to me to drive
on an’ wait for him when I got out of the
canyon. I saw his game in a minnit, and
it was a bold one, I reckon. He hid be
hind a rook right in the road an’ got his
weapons ready. I drove on an’ left him
alone. ' The thieves fell into the trap.
They rode on after the stage, tbinkin’ him
in it, an’ as they passed close to where
he was he opened fire. What with his
sixteen-shooter an’his two revolvers an
their returnin' the fire, it sounded to me
like a whole regiment. I never knew
whether be killed any, but he wouuded
some sure, an’ they soattered like hell was
after 'em, some of them as was hurt
bowlin' liks devils. He just oame up with
the stage an’ rode on as ooll as you
please. He was a smart feller.
“Now, tho next day, on my return trip,
I noticed that one of the stage company’s
agents at a relay station—we ohanged
hosses every twelve mile—had his arm in
a sling, and when I gut back from Dead-
wood I heerd of several of the fust citi
zens as was suddenly laid up. I says to
the agent, ‘What’s the matter?’ ‘Why,
says he, kinder oareless, ‘a damn dog bit
me last night I’ ‘Yes,’ said I, ‘these gov -
ment dogs do bite parly hard sometimer,
don’t they ?’ Wf H, he pitched into me
like the devil because I didn't give ’em a
signal the night before so they'd know
what the gov’ment agent had done. He
said the boys wan goin’ to be on hand in
my trip through the next night and were
a goin’ to do for me. Now, I knoWed
be were a truthful man about things of
that kind; so I went to the company's
office an drawed my pay rn' said as how I
reckoned I didn’t want to d.ive no more
for fear my helth might suddenly give
way. So they engaged a young Dutobmen
from Vermont—nioe feller he was, too.
an' a good driver—to take the Btage. I
went to him like a brother an' says: Now,
don’t yon t: ke that stage ont to-nigbt any
way, or you’ll be sorty for it,'but of
oonrse it wan't no use. I've felt sorry for
him over since, but be would go, even
wbeD I told him *hst the boys wou'd trke
him for mo. He might have kuowed. ”
Did they hurt him, as they threatened
to do yon?” I asked, innocently.
“Well, I don’t know if they hurt h'tr,
but you oould have read that newspaper
through him when they found his body
In Dead Man's oanyon, I never did see
a body so full o' holes if my life!”

Bnskfb.—“Is the Snake Editor in ?"
“Amid the slings end arrows of ont
rtgeoas fortune be Dover forsakes bis
post. Behold In me the Bnnko Editor. "
“Well, I killed a rattle—”
“How long was it.”
“Nine feet four—”
“W-wbat! less than ten feet? Thia
paper 1, no reoeptaole for miae.able flat
ing-worm stories,” and the exasperated
editor Heizsd the visitor by tbo throat
and shat off from his insides the breath
of heaven.
“Yaas,” gurgled the poor wretch, “but
it hod eighty-soven ra—”
“No back talk !” yelled the editor; “we
want no rattleBDakes lean than from ten to
twelve feet in length,” and the snake-kill
er was dashed to pieces on the flinty pave
ment below.—Oil Cily Derrick.
The voice of reform ia beard throngh
the land, and speaks of the “good time
ooming.” Bo, too, the spirit of refotm is
working in the nurseries of the land to
banish those dangerous Opium and Mor
phia preparations, and establish nsefnl
and harmless remedies, of which Dr.
Ball's Baby Byrap ia acknowledged as the
very beet for ell disorders of Babyhood
end early Childhood. Bold everywhere
