SEVERAL able speeches have bsea,
made IN our State Legislature in favor
at the present intsrest law. The ar
xuments male were unanswerable. We
could cite several instances. from our
personal knowledge. where over ,xrn-
~ thousand dollars were brought here
for loan and investment, which would
have gone to other States had there
hcen no Law here lrgalizing tho ten per

the present interest Law will drive from
Ksnlncky hundreds and Thousands OF
dollars. which would remain here as a
permanent loan or investment II the
General Assembly will not interfere.

Wives.

James Buchanan lived and died a
bachelor. He never knew what it was
to have a beautiful wife rush into the
presence of Congressional Investgat-
ing Committee, with her hair dishevel-
ed and her pull back at half mast, cry
ing bitterly: ooh, gentlemen, what
ever you do, don't hurt my Jimmy"
No, he probably didn't have any
such experience. But there was some
thing else he didn't have, which might
be worth mentioning. When the ma
ton was drifting head-foremost on the
shore of the rebellion, and the four
years night of almost hopeless despair
was settling black and heavy on the
land, James Buchanan didn't have a
wife who with her wOman's prescience
and good sense might have warned
him of the coming danger, and led him
to avert by prompt action the prelimin-
airy steps to one Of the most wOful pic
lures in the book of time. We don't
know for certain whether If he had
had a wife that it would have stopped
the rebellion, but the chances are that
it would. Women are like some pois-
ons,-sure death under certain condi-
tons, the antidote to death under
others. They require very careful

OF all railway enterprises in the
. United States, we know OF no one
which offers a fairer prospect Of Il re-
-munerative investment than the carry
ing forward of the Los Angeles and In
dependence Railway to junction,
through the Southern Utah, with the
Union Pacific at Ogden, near Salt Lake.
The successful execution of such work
would instantly convert It's projectors
into railway magnateS as formidable rs
MesSrs. Leland Stanford, Huntington,
Hopkins and CrOcker themselves. That
is u legitimate ambition. Ii would
really be a work of national moment
and its completion would give Us an
other transcOntinenIal railway. Ii
would pass through region incalcu-
lably rich in argentiterOus galena ores
1t OF itself would open UP Il series Of
bonanzas. Independence, COso, Oar
win, Pananint, and hundred other
mining camps, would be chrOnicled Is
producing lead and silver almost 10 q
surteiL The carrying of crude ores TO
reduction works which would undoubt-
elly be shortly established in his
neighbOrhOod, and the merchandise
and produce which would be consumed
by these innumerable camps would
ensure a profitable business from the
very initial of the enterprise. The Los
Angeles and Independence Railway
could be made To strike the Southern
Utah, near the Needles" about the
thIrty-tifty parallel OF latitude; and,
when the thirty-tifth parallel road sue
cecds in getting itself built from FenIta,
in the Indian Territory, To the Colorado
river, the trackway OF the former road
could be used as u common trunk line
to tide-water at Santa Monica. This
road, pushed to point of junction
with the Southern Utah, would supply
all Northern Arizona, and would open
up the rich mining districts around the
Needles. When it should have entered
Utah, it would traverse St. George
county, above Callville, a region full of
the best qualities of coal and iron.
Here, undoubtedly, the road would de-
velop 4 tremendous business as ST.
George is probably the future iron
manufacturing center of the Pacific
COasL-LOs Angeles Express.

Ammonia Against Snake Bites.

Several cases of snake-bite, in which
the value of Professor Halford's rene
dy, subcutaneous injection of ammonia,
has been demonstrated, have, says the
Melbourne Argus, lately occurred in
the colony. At Seymour on the l4th
of December a young man. 20 years Of
age, named Dwyer, WAS bitten bv q
snake between the thumb and the first
finger of the right hand. The wound
was received AZ nine o'clock and no
treatment was applied until II 80, when
the patient was pOwerlesS and almost
inSensible. Ammonia was injected In
10 his right arm when lie revived at
once. He suffered a relapse but the
ammonia was again successfully aD-
Piled, and he ultimately recovered.
At Bungaree a young girl was bitten
by snake and gradually sank into Il
state Of stupor. Two hours and a
half after she was bitten ammonia was
injected Relief was Immediately OBJ
tanned and the girl rapidly recovered.
\ third case happened on the Acheron,
eleven miles from Alexandria, where a
little girl two wears of age, the daugh-
ter Of a farmer named DOak, was bitten
by 2 snake just above the ankle of the.
leftfoot. Symptoms of complete coma
were setting in when the ammonia in
lection was used with magical effect.
The child sat upright and became quite
lively. \ relapse occurring, second
injection was made with as great effect
rs before, and the child from that time
continued to improve until her recov-
cry. Another case Is mentioned OF a.
native woman on the Wirrega Station,
South Australia, who was bitten by al
snake on the ankle. She became I'M
and the surface of the body
was turning cold when ammonia was
injected. The woman at once revived. F.

MAKING UP PREsCRIPTIONs-Very
startling revelations are contained in a
report just issued by Mr. Allen, the
/ borough analyst at Sheffield, to the
/ Town Council. 1t states that as con
siderable anxiety existed as to the care
and accuracy of druggists in making
up physicians prescriptions, the In
spectOrS of the Health Department pre-
sented to certain local druggists various
prescriptions written by qualified men.
The prescriptions were so arranged
that each should include full dose of
some expensive remedy capable OF
ready and accurate estimation in a
mixture. \ series of these samples IN
which 120 grains of iodide of potassium
were found on analysis to contain 1872
l20 and 1G grains respectively. The
last was, therefore, made up with hardly
two-thlrds of the active ingredient
ordered-a grave departure from the
prescribed amount OF three samples
which should have contained 10 grains
of sulphate Of quinIne, one contained
only 81 grains, or less than two-thirds
of the prescribed amount Another
sample which should have contained
~ grains Of sulphate Of quinine had 30
grains. Oftwelve samples of glycerine,
only five were pure and Of the standard.
Two other samples were somewhat be
low the official strength, containing O.
and 50 per cent of water pectively,
but were otherwise pure Two others
were adulteratcd with 1 l and u per cent
of water Two were of full strength, but
contained lime and some non-volatile
organic impurity. Another sampled
contained a small quantity of sugar
Three samples Of citric acid were found
To contain a trace Of lead but in OtherI
respects they Were perfectly pure
With reference 10 eleven samples OIL

genuine and two were adulteratcd inI

His Price.

A special dispatch to the New Yorl
Times reports that, General Sherman
says that General Reynolds can make
satisfactory explanation of the allega
tons made against him by witnesse!
who have appeared before the Clymel
committee. Reynolds related the en-
tire story to General Sherman several
years ago. The house presented t.
Reynolds was not the gift of the con.
tractors, but was presented by numer
Gus citizens so as TO retain the Army
headquarters at San Antonio. In the
matter of the corn General REYNOLDS
told General Sherman that at the time
the controversy arose, corn could have
been purchased below the price paid
Adams and Wicks, but they were sup
plying corn in accordance with con
tract made nearly one year before, and
that the contract was awarded them be-
cause they were the lowest bidders.
When General Mackenzie refused to
receive the corn the new crop was COM
ing in, which reduced the market price.
and this accounts for the fact that corn
could have been purchased at a less
figure than it could have been pur-
chased seven months prior General
Sherman is confident that General
Reynolds will make a satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION. Army and Navy Journal.
General Sherman may have an I'M
limited amount of honest confidence in
General Reynolds, but from all that we
know Of General Sherman he is of the
earth earthly, and as likely (at least
to be mistaken, as any other man. We
know gentleman in Tucson, who was
well acquainted and familiar with the
MessrS. Adams IL Wicks in San An
ionic, Texas. Our acquaintance relates
that in confidential conversation once,
in talking about the difficulties to be-
encountered in the contract business.
Mr.. Adams told him that Reynolds
cost more than any OF the re,G that ri
hey had had all idea of what it would
,ost to buy him they wouldn't have
opened the business, but after once
starting they had to go through; that
hey had bought him and shut him up
,ut that 1t had cost $4,000 The
manner in which this was told US leads
Is to believe that there was no possible
nducement to falsity in its first state
nent, and that it is undoubtedly true.
