Tue LEGISLATURE The Senate has
been engaged for three or four days in dis
cussing the per dten, question. They have cost
the State great deal more than the proposed
reduction of pay would amount to- and have
accomplished nothing yet. The remodeing
of the judiciary has been up in both branches
of the Legislature, but nothing definite agreed
on This is matter that needs re arrange.
mcnt, but shouad be handled cautiously -
The Land Scrip question has been before the
House, and was the occasion of number of
hifalutin speeches. We do not think that
either the University or the Military Inst
tute ought to have cent of it. The dona-
tion was intended for agricultural benefits
Let it, the two thirds, constitute the basis of
o purely agricultural College.
The omnibus committee on the funding
bill has not made report When it does,
we may expect number of lengthy speeches.
We do not see how it is possible for any
thing of importance to be accomplished with
in the 60 days allowed for the regular ses-
sion. Doubtless another 80 days will be
consumed by that body.
Since the above was in type, majority
report has leen made by the JOINT committee
on the funding hi !. 1t provides for issuing
bonds running 81 years for two-thirds of
the State debt-bearing interest at 3 per
cent. for II years, 6 per cent. for the next
10 years, and g. per cent. for the remaining
IL years. 1t also provides for paying one
and half per cent interest on the LIST of
January 1872, and one and half per cent
interest CO. the LIST Of July lS72-and so on
in accordance with the face Of the bonds.
1t prohibits any tag, collector from tax NJ
for taxes any Of the coupons already issued
under rho' funding bill.
The minority Of the Committee willreport
bill substantially the same as the funding bill.
1t is stated that Bishop Gibbons, of North
Carolina has been placed id charge of the
sffairs of the Diocese of Virginia, left vacant
by the death Of Bishop McGill, to continue
until either Bishop Gibbons or some other
Bishop is permanently ASST as Bishop

An ElOping Husband and Determined
Wife.


The late Omaha Tribune publishes the fol-
lowing:
Passengers on a recent Western bound
train on the b. d M. railroad were treated to
an immense sensation. In first-class coach
were man and woman-the former Judging
from his appearance, was about forty-five
years of age, and evidently workingman;
the woman was really pretty girl, not over
twenty-One years old These two took the
train at Charlton, Iowa. Soon after leaving
that station, they commenced gradually to
lean toward each other, and 'eyes looked
love to eyes that spake again." and for
while "all went merry as marriage bell"
She was reposing with her head on his shoul-
der, and their hands were clasred together. as
if they feared they would lose each other dur
ing the night. Their overlooking affection
attracted the attention of every other passen-
ger in the car They slept sweetly, and all
unmindful that Mr.. Mans true and legal wife
was in the first Car ahead of the one in which
they were riding.
Right here we must say that Mr. Man was
clipping with the handsome young girl. His
neighbors in Charlton knew of the elopement
before it came off, and they raised sum of
money with which they purchased revolver
Tor Mrs. Man, and a railroad ticket which
would enable her to follow her runaway hus-
band. So when they stepped into first-cass
coach at the station, she walked into second
class car, and they left Charlton on the same
train.
The situation can now be easily compre-
hended. Mrs. Man waited until the train
had passed two stations, when she prepared
for action, and firmly walked into the car
where the clippers were firmly held by Nor
pheus. The first thing the guilty pair knew
they, were suddenly awakened, and there
stood Mrs. Man with revolver pointed
straight at her husbands head The girl
Jumped up, and rushed into the sleeping car,
claiming protection from the Pullman con-
ductor, who locked her up in the stateroom.
At the stopping place Mrs. Man, who kept
guard over her husband, walked him out of
the train, and when they were on the plat
form of the depot, she actually kicked him.
beat him, stamped ON him, and Thoroughly
subdued him in much the same manner as a
man gets vicious horse under control.
