The Chicago Journal, after referring to
the non.partizan position Of Hon. o. Il.

taken into it tho stream of life, should do its

COLUMBIA, December 23.
The Senate and House were called to order
to-day at IL o'clock, but quorum not being
present in either, they were declared adjourn
ed until the fifth of next month. Elliott, in
pursuance Of an announcement made by Speaker
Moses yesterday, called the House 10 order to-
day. The reason of this, as understood, was
to give the representatives an opportunity OF
voting Moses four hundred dollars as mark
of their appreciation of his fitness as Speaker
showing their generosity by giving him other
peoples money. There were not more than
twenty representatives present, and Elliott
had 10 declere them adjourned because OF a
lack of a quorum; consequently young Moses
will have to be found" at the end Of the ses-
sion.

"a high wind" 1t is said, "blows every
morning on the bridge at Dresden" and the
people account for it by curious old legend :
isSInce the time Of Charlemagne there had
been a wooden bridge across the Elbe, but
every winter 1t was carried away by the floods.
The authorities sought to aid the famous sor-
cerer. who in his turn consulted the devil. The
latter consented to build strong bridge on
condition that he should take the souls Of all
who committed mortal sin in crossing over It,
Soon Dresden possessed a magnificent bridge,
and at early dawn the devil appeared and be-
pan TO blow in such q manner that the hats
and CAPS of the passengers were carried Into
the water. somo laughed, but others took to
swearing like so many pagans, and Satan took
note of them for hereafter. BY noon, having
made a good collection, he left of blowing and
went home to dinner. From that time till
now. ,he devil stands In the pass every morn
Ing and blows in the same way, so that the
bridge of Dresden is always undor the ihnu-
ence of high wind from dawn till midday
