Colubmia, April 24.-The Legisla-
ture met in extra session, called by Gov.
Hampton. The house called the roll of
the members, siXty-nine in number,
who adjourned in December. The
Mackey members were not acted on. In
the senate, Chamberlain's lieutenant
governor, Gleaves, called the body to
order and retired from the chair,
though claiming that he was entitled to
it. The senate then resolved to swear
in Simpson, the Hampton lieutenant
governor, but Simpson peremptorily
refused to be sworn again, saying he
took the oath last December. The sem
ate then reconsidered that motion, and
Simpson took the chair and made a
conciliatory speech. The Laurens and
Edgefield Democrats were then on mo-
tion sworn in, Simpson overruling the
objection to that proceeding, simply
saying the seats were subject to CON
test. The senate now stands Demo-
Gratis Is, Republicans Is, but one of the
latter votes with the Democrats and
another is absent. The, indications are
therefore that Associate Justice Will
lard will he nominated for chief Justice
by the Democrats, and elected accord
ing to Hampton'S wish.

sey. One is of honeycomb rock, and is
literally filled with free gold, varying
in size from a pinhead to an eighth of
an inch. These diggings might be
styled gravel diggings, for splints of
gold are not only found in the quartz,
gravel and large rocks of this hill, but
are seen peppered through the mud be-
tween them. Mr.. Pinney has a mine

Washington, April 24.-The COM
mission believe no southern Democrats
will vote for u Republican speaker.
They expect general support for the
President from many Democrats for all
measures relating to his southern pol

is too valuable for them to deprive
themselves of it. The commission sub
mitted to the President a report, about
twenty pages long, describing the un-
compromising spirit of both sides in
New Orleans at the outset. 1t details
the various interviews and final sue
cess. The report also given accurately

The Bed Considered as a Garment.

There is still one of our garments to
be considered which generally is not re-
garded as such. 1 mean the bed-that
piece of clothing in which we spend
such a great part of our time. 1t is
equally Indispensable to the sick and
to the healthy, and at all times it was
considered a sign of bitterest want if a
man had no place to lay his head.
The bed is not only a place of rest, it
is especially our sleeping garment, and
has often to make up for privations en-
dured during the day and the days
work, and to give us strength for to-
morrow. You know all the different
substances and materials used for it.
They are the same as our garments are
made from. Like them, the bed must
be airy and warm at the same time.
We warm the bed by our body, just as
as we warm our clothes, and the bed
warns the air which is continually
flowing through it from below upward.
The regulating strata must be more
powerful in their action than in our
day clothes, because during rest and
sleep the metamorphosis Of u tissues
and resulting heat becomes less, and
because in q horizontal position we lose
more heat 10y an ascending current of
air than in a vertical position, where
the warm ascending current is in more
complete and longer contact with our
upright body.
The warmth of the bed sustains the
circulation in our surface to a certain
degree for the benefit of our internal
organs, at q time when our production
of heat is at the lowest ebb. Hence
the Importance of the bed for our head
