then taken on inserting the clause re-

six per cent. Until the state is able to re-
deem it, and TO pay the warrant in state
paper, which is to be valued, during the
year 1925 at 70 cents TO the dollar, and
its value TO increase SIX cents year ill
1891, when it will be paid out at par
This plan is founded on the supposition
that state paper will be al par in 1881,
and that q discount OF per cent. year
for interest, ought to be made, which
would make its value for the year 1926
seventy cents to the dollar. Should this
plan be adopted, it will evidently tend TO

vANDALIA, JANUARY s6, 1896.

The Thc three last days
OF the present week have principally
been spent by the House ct Represents
tives upon the revenue and appropria-
ton bills. Great diversity of opinion pre-
walls upon the subject Of the revenue
generally, but more particularly in re-
gard to the payment OF demands upon
the Treasury. All are endeayoriDg to
appreciate our currency-and various
plans are proposed to effect this desra-
Bile object. The bill as it stands at the
time Of penning this article, directs that
all warrants upon the Treasury shall be
issued for the amount in shecie, at six per
cent. per annum, and shall be paid in
shecie if the same is 10 the Treasury
or in state paper at discount OF so per
cenr.-or two for one--or that the war;
rants may be received in Payment Of
tares, at such an additional per cent. IS
shalt advance the state paper TO specie
such advance TO be regulated by the
Governor quarter yearly. The first and
second sections of the bill fixes the time
for the payment of taxes on the LIST OF
August, inltead Of the lsl OF October,
and requires sale Of all lands upon
which the taxes Of 1925 or 1926 shall
not have been paid, upon the lsi Mon
day in January, 1927.
The her diem allowance to members
has retarded the passage OF the appro-
priation bill, and produced considerable
debate. 1t was, however, finally fixed
at three dollars per day, and has so pass
I'd the House. The expenses OF the
present session will not much exceed
i've thousand dollars.

construction. Your memoriaiists do
not however ask your honorable body to
appropriate money out oil the treasury t.
aid them in this work They only ask
Tor tract OF land through which the
contemplated canal may pass, and which
Tor series oil years will be wholly I'M
productive to the Government, unless
the canal shall be commenced under
auspices favorable to its completion, in
which event all the land in the vicinity
would Immediately become available TO
the United States. Your memorialisls
sincerely believe that liberal appropria-
ton OF land for this object would, even
IN pecuniary point of view, be of i'm
mense importance to the Treasury OF
the Union. The public lands in the Vi
cinity would not only sell, but at con-
siderable advance upon the minimum
price. Should this opinion be correct,
and does not experience Justify II the
United States would be gamers by the
proposed donation to the state. Your
memerialisls further state, that at their
last session, they passed an act of lncor-
poratlon, upon very liberal terms, autho-
rizlng company to construct the pro-
Jected canal, but the remoteness of the
country from the residence OF capitalists
has prevented them from engaging in
the work. Attheir present session your
memorialisls have repealed The charter,
and their only hope OF soon beginning
the work depends upon the liberslity oil
your honorable body. Your memorial
lists have caused the route to be plored,
and estimates TO be made OF the probable
expense of the work, from which i, APP
pears that the cost OF constructing The
canal will not be less than $500 600, and
may possibly amount to 800 oOO. To
the end, therefore, that your memorial
lists may be enabled to commence and
complete this great and useful work, we
pray your honorable body to grant to
this state the respective townships oil
| land through which The contemplated
canal may pass, the avails oil which 10
be appropriated exclusively 10 the con-
slrucilon. OF said Canal upon such terms
and conditions as 10 your honorably body
may seem proper.

There appears to be mingling Of
stories, respecting Iphis, in the " Re-
bus" One lphis was prince OF Argos.
Another, a youth oil SaIsmls, hung him
self for love OF Anaxarete, who received
his addresses with GOODNESS and con-
tempt; and was transformed, says Ovid,
into stone, for her inseDsibiliiy at his
death. A third lphis, was a girl oil Crete,
and was pre- -doomed to death by her ia
Their, if female, but saved and educated
as boy by her mother. When grown,
her father contracted her, still supposing
her a male, to ianthe, and as her sex was
deemed, by her mother and herself, an
inconvenience, under the circumstances,
they invoked Isis, who Gas we are in
formed by The same veritable writer)
changed her sex; snd the union took
place. We suppose Bard-Oiphus did
not recur to his Ovid, but trusted to me-
mory.
