A Sharp Dodge Thwarted.
The following is Gov. SCOTS message
vetoing the bill appropriating the sum
of 1886, 200 for Legislative expenses:
STATE OF South CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
COLUMBIA, March 7, 1871.
To the Honorable The Senate of South Caro-
lima.
GENTLEMEN: I return to your honora-
bic body, without my approval, an Act
appropriating $265,00 for Legislative
expenses, for the following reasons, to
wit:
First, I regard the expenditure of the
money already appropriated during this
session, and the sum included in this
bill, amounting in the aggregate to
$400,000, as simply enormous for one
session of the Legislature It is beyond
the comprehension of any one how the
General Assembly could legitimutely ex-
pend one-half of that amount of money.
I cannot refrain from expressing the
opinion that there must have been some
secret agency in fixing the sum ut that
amount, as number of the members,
beth of the House and Senate, have ex-
appropriation changed from $125, OO0 rs
it was believed to have passed, to that of
$265. 900. I regret the necessity of re-
turning the Act. without my approval,
on the last day of the session, but to do
otherwise, I feel that would be recreant
to the duties imposed upon me, by be-
coming party to wrong by which the
whole people would be made to suffer.
might give many other cogent rea-
sons why this bill should not become n
law, but time prevents my doing other
than giving it my unqualified disap-
proval, believing that the members of
the General Assembly will, themselves,
correct an error that must have crept into
the bill clandestinely in its enrolment
Very respectfully,
ROBERT K. SCOTT, Governor.
Upon this subject the correspondent
of the Charleston Ne,ys remarks:
Leslie, after the message was read,
stated that the increase arose from the
smuggling in of the "DenniS claim for
fitting up the hall of Representatives,
and that it had been voted on in the Sc
nate, while the general appropriation
bill was undcr discussion, without nuy
one knowing what they voted for The
question only being, "Shall we adopt
the House amendment This was evi-
dently fact. for no one did seem to
know anything nboutit.) Leslie thought
that this should be no reason why mem
bers should go home without their pay.
The Governor was not compelled to sign
my checks, except such rs he thought
fit. Corbin said that he had inquired of
the Senate Finance Committee, and they
did not know how the amount was in
creased and how the additional $40, 900
came in the bill. 1t was, however, we'll
known how it was incurred. It was the
fitting up OF tho hall OF Representatives,
which he declared an outrage and a
swindle. He had experts to estimate
the expense. at the highest figure, and
they told him that S25, 900 would leave
big margin. Wimbush, Nash, Hayne
and Maxwell followed in similar strain.
Some were in favor Of getting The pay
of members, while others would sooner
60 home without their pay than vote for
such scheme, but all united in de-
nouncing the affair as IL bare fuced swim
die.

Kalsomining vs.. Whttewashing.

The inconvenience of ordinary
uwhitewash' is that it rubs off with
the slightest touch. Many recipes are
afioat to prevent this disadvantage of
using simply suspended lime. The
Kalsomining process is simple, cheap,
and forms a fine finish. The following
is the process: Soak four ounces of
fine white glue in one quart Of warm
water for twenty-four hours; then add
a pint of water, and place the vessel
that contains the glue into a vessel Of
boiling water, until the glue is perfect
ly dissolved. Put five pounds of good
Paris white into a bucket, and add hot
water, enough to make it of the con-
sistency of cream. Add to it the glue
water, and mix thoroughly by stirring.
The beauty and success of the result
depends much on the application of
the compound. It should be put on
evenly with good brush, no streaks
being left. The consistency may be
produced by the addition of hot water.
Two coats should be given, and, if
we'll done, it is equal to any other
more expensive finish. Paris white is
common chalk that has been ground
to fine powder and thoroughly washed.
It is a cheap article.

Weeds in Garden Walks.

l want to tell your readers how I
keep the walk in my flower garden
clean. 1t is 4 very simple plan, and
the wonder TO me is that 1 never
thought of trying it long ago, for they
are something that have given me
much more trouble than the beds them
selves, and I have never before been
able to keep them clean without
great amount of help from Pat. One
day last summer happened to have a
large quantity of boiling water to dis
pose of. For some reason I did not
want to throw it in the drain, and we
never throw anything in the yard; so
after few minutes consideration
said it should be emptied on the walks
in the flower garden, as it would do no
harm there, and sure enough it did
not. The next day, when down in the
garden for flowers, the walks attracted
my attention, they looked SO uncom-
| monty clean, not a green thing daring
to stick up its head. Since then have
| bathed them faithfully with scalding
water once in two or three weeks, and
the weeds are not only killed, but the
ground is always hard and smooth, as
it does not have to be dug over.-Coz'.

OUR BABY.
b Y E. j. 8 .

Zone OF the e"tLittle Folks'' of our Sity, q
winsome little girl who was just learning to
talk and run about, took sick with the fever
\ few days ago, and after suffering great
deal, died, and was laid in the warm ground
where the little seeds grow and the pretty
butterflies get their wings. Her name was
MARY, sweet name, and she was the little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Mullin. A kind
mother, who has also had to part with some
of her little ones, sends us the following
pretty lines about little MARY's death II
little sunbeam sent to cheer,
And brighten up our days Of gloom,
But scarcely had its rays appeared
Ere twas o'ershadowed by the tomb!
A little rosebud! fresh and sweet,
From Gods own garden pure and white;
A chilling blast came sweeping by,
1t dropped and faded from our sight.
A little birdling! helpless, weak
Nesting of q few short hours
Not all our love and tender care
Could keep it from fair Eden's bowers!
Until the mornings golden ray
Too warmly shone, and then, alas
The little dew-drop passed away!
A little star! At eventide
4. I watched and loved to gaze upon,
But soon the sky was overcast
The star had vanished-at was gone!
Our joys how heeting! What is life
but storm and sunshine-1ight and shade
And those we love and cherish most
Are soon in Deaths cold chambers laid!

To Our LittIe Readers.

The Editor begs his little friends
who read this column in the TELE-
GRAPH, not to think he has been un-
mindful of the Little Folks, because
for three or four weeks they have
found nothing in the paper for them.
We will tell them a secret not known
to the grown folks who read the paper,
and that is, it very often takes us
longer to get together the little pieces
that go in this column than it does to
collect those that make the whole first
page of our paper. And for three or
four weeks we have not had the time
for this task. We can't get in hurry
and put in anything for the Little
Folks, as we sometimes have to do for
grown people who can read everything.
We are very choice about what we
give the children to read, and some
times search an hour for one piece.
Do our little friends appreciate this
labor? We hope so.
And now will not some of the little
ladies, or young gents who read this,
''take their pens in hand,' and write
us little letter, pretty little story,
or sketch, or something for the ssLittle
Folks" column? Or, let them per-
suade mamma to send us something
about some funny old cat, or hen, or
good girl or boy she once knew or
persuade papa to write a short piece
telling boys how to keep from idleness,
or how to make useful men, or what
kind ofsports are best and most ANUS
ing. We want people at at a distance
to know there are smart girls and boys
in Louisiana as we'll as in other coun-
tries of whom we read SO much in
Northern.

How John Chinaman and Bridget Agree

A correspondent of the Boston Tray
eller records the two following "smart
speeches" of children: A bright little
boy, about four years of age, son of a
clergyman, was at your correspond
ent's house one evening with his pa
rents, and I gave him couple Of five
cent pieces. He laid them on the ta-
BILE, and, putting his finger on one,
said: "This one I am going to give to
the heathen, and the other one am
going to keep myself" He played
with them awhile, till finally one of
them rolled away and he could not
find it. "Well," said 1, 'smy lad,
which one have you lost ?'' "Oh,'
said he, "I have lost the one was GO
ing to give to the heathen."
A little girl came into my house one
day, and some apple-parings lay on
plate on the table. After sitting awhile
she said: 81 smell apples" eyes,"
replied, "I guess you smell those
apple-parings on the plate" "No, no."
said she. "'Taint " them I smell; I
smell whole apples.'
