consider Senator RObeFtsOn's PROPOSE
ton. The order of business was so
amended as TO permit action this ses-
sion upon the House general amnesty
bill.
The discussion, which was conduct

opened by Mr.. Robertson in adVOcat-
ing the prOpriety, justice and expe-
diency of enacting q law for general

Senators Sawyer, Sherman, Lewis,
buckingham, Logan and Wilson also
supported the proposition for imme-
diate and favorable action on the sub
jeCt.

for general amnesty at this time, ar
guing that it was ineXpedient, un-
wise and unGalled for.
Finally, after a session Of nearly an
hour, on motion Of Mr., Rice the
proposition Of Mr.. Robertson was laid
on the table by a vote Of twenty
against sixteen, thus defeating the
measure for this session.

MED by the general amnesty. The

he seriously doubted that the people
were ready for it,

Pleasant Information for Tipplers.

The black ants ofSweden are formida-
BILE race of workers, much larger than any
We have here. They make sad havoc with
the grains, and as they travel in process
sions, each with a wheat grain or some
other dainty for winter store, they present
a formidable array-curious spectacle for
the philosopher. The sting of these ami
mails is very sharp, and some what poison
GUS. The best policy to observe is, when
meeting procession of these workers, to
turn aside and give them the right of way,
for they will grip their grain tightly, and
give sting after sting, losing very little time
for revenge, and then on to their we'll
ordered, well stored homes. The Swedes
have learned way of utilizing these little
animals, sting and all. They waylay them
on these journeys, catch them by hand, in
nets and sieves, anyway to get them, and
plump they go into the seething brandy
distillery, and on them depends the pecul-
lar flavor of Swedish brandy. 1t is so
smooth, so oily, SO pungent; has sucha de-
licious flavor; in short, is everything en-
chanting and then they have the loveliest
little glasses, that hold a thimble full, so
thin, fragile, and beautifully artistic, that
they would almost tempt anascetic to drink
and catch the devine afflatus,l but it only
takes one drink to intexicate, and then de-
tirsurp tresse'as soon follows. We have seen
a lady jump from the table and scream be.
cause red ant ran across her plate, but she
would sip this brandy from the little glass
and extol its flavor
