The attention of the Legislature has
been 50 frequently called TO the subject
of local indebtedness, that hesitate to
mention it again. The evil continues
anu grows upon us, and is not likely to
be diminished, until a remedy shall be
found in positive prohibitory legal en-
actments, OF in constitutional provis-
ions, absolutely forbidding local public
debts. Boards OF officers, not always
e0iistituted Of those best qualified to
manage large pecuniary interests, are,
under existing laws, entrusted with
extraordinary powers, and with a dis
eretion which the Legislature itself
would hesitate to exercise directly. I'm
der the construction which our highest
St;neUourt has given to theConstitution
and under laws passed in conformity
Herewith, the authority of minor po-
iitical organizations to create debts, if
not unlimited, is at least very large
and complete. 2-i.i. -.- t-'.9

The Pyramids of Egypt were con
structed 1000 years ago. Mr.. DiYon,
of England, has for some time been
exploring the two remarkable chambers
known as the kings and queens
chambers, in the interior OF the Great
Pyramids. BY means of wire intro
duced between the joints of the mason
ry. he found a space, aud was thereupon
induced to bore into the walls OF the
queens ehamb Der, when he discovered a
passage way, eight by nine inches in
dimensions, evidently ventllatlng Hue,
Its terminus has not yet been found
Within the passage way he found "a
bronze hook, which is supposed to be
the most ancient specimen OF bronze
now existing. He also found piece
of worked cedar wood and granite
ball, which latter is believed to have
been an Egyptian weight. Its diane,
ter is "a inches. As the walls behind
which these articles were found were
solid on the inner side oil the chamber
it is believed that they were placed IN
the positions where they were found at
the time the pyramid was erected.

TIE following instructions by
a correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker may be found useful to
anglers: "The writer was much
younger than he now is, when he
first attempted bass-6shing, and
for long time did not succeed in
taking one, simply because he did
not know their habite, and it was
only by the advice of a friend
that he learned to angle for them
successfully.
In the first place it is absolutely
necessary that the angler should
provide himself with a good rod,
rec, line and hooks, all can be made
by any one Of ordinary ingenuity,
and made to work as we'll as those
purcbasedfrom the manufacturer.
Secondly, as 1.-Two bait or minnows
is the nsual or natural food ofthe
black bass, he must provide him
self with a pail in which to carry
and keep his bait while fishing;
anything that will contine the
bait without excluding the air,
for instance pail with small
holes in the lid to let in the air
and fresh water. After batting his
hook, which is usually done by
running the hook, through the
lips of the minnow, he makes his
cast. lie will discover, in a short
time, his line gradually moving
off, or a violent pull, something
indicates the bait is taken. To
jerk at this would lose the fish;
and now the reel comes in play.
The good fisherman at this point
unrceIs his line as rapidly as the
fish may take it, for some seconds
or until the bait is swallowed, a
gentle twitch then secure your
game nine time out of ten. Ii
the fish weighs over one or two
pounds it is always best to play
him until exhausted, as if brought
Stten at encs sssabs! t9 5se land or boat. they
After fishing for black bass for
more than twenty years, and
usually successfully as an amateur
angler, the writer thinks the in
structions given are all that are
necessary. lie has invariably
used live bait, being more con-
venient and more easily procured
during fishing season, although the
bass are often taken with small
frogs, crickets, grasshoppsrs aud
angie worms.
