A MISTAKE MADE In GEoRGIA.-The
following is of fact, which we take from
the columns of our esteemed contempt
rary, the Philadelphia Tunes embodies
and illustrates Il popular error that is not
confined to the citizens of any particular
community.
Georgia is gradually arranging II
millennium of its own. The new consti-
tuition of that state provides that the
legislature shall meet but once in two
years, and then sit but forty days."
The idea set forth in this provision of
the new constitution of Georgia is fire.
quently encountered in the discussions of
the press and in ordinary conversation.
We sometimes hear it expressed, as a
sort of lamentation, that the Legislature
of state is about to meet; or we are
reminded that it is u blessing congress is
soon to adjourn, so that no more mischief
can be done. Such people seem to believe
that, if there were no legislature or no
congress, everything would be undisturb
ed; there would be no agitation to affect
the value of property or the regular
course of business; and then the world
would be fairer and happier.
Reduced to its simplest form, this idea
is that a despotism, where all is stagnant,
where no conflicts of thought are devel-
oped, and no power is exercised by any
one except the despot, is better than a
free government where every man has a
right to his opinion, where all ideas can
be published without reserve, and where
the people with their multifarious inter
ests, passions, and complications debate
everything, and decide, legislature, and
rule for themselves.
One great purpose of a legislature is tc
give the people of every part of the state
the opportunity of being heard by theil
Representatives. Thus it is not merely
: the law making body; it is the grea
theatre of public controversy; it is the
safety valve of liberty.
We have tried the experiment here il
the state of New York. We limited oul
, legislature to session of a hundred days
, but after some thirty years experience W.
abandoned the restriction. Now we leave
our Senate and our assembly to sit just a
long rs they find it necessary and con
venient; and we dare say that in du'
lime the people of the state of Georgia
having initiated our example in commit
ting the blunder, will also initiate us il
l adopting the remedy ,-New York Sun.

July and hot weather have
come at once upon the me-
tropolis and the fashionable
woman feels like clothing her
self simply with a fan.
But decorum requires that,
though she may with perfect
propriety bare all her arms and
much of her body at a winter
ball, she must cover herself
completely on ordinary occa-
sions in summer. Doomed
thus to be fried in her own fat,
she endeavors to mitigate her
sufferings with linen lawns, mus
Inns, batistes and cotton zephyrs
those being the favorite fabrics
for the purpose this year. She
manages to look comfortable,
though she isn't. She is really
in a softened, nelly state.
Kiss her, and her lips stick to
yours like syrup. Hug her and
she is like a big lump Of dough
in your arms. She spreads
pulpily over the chair when she
sits down, and is only prevented
by her corset from running into
a shapeless mass. She looks
as well as ever-perhaps better,
for the heat makes her rosy;
but she is not so pleasant to
take hold Of as she was last
winter. She may battle her
delicate hands twenty times a
day with cologne and rub them
over as often with a powder
rag, but they are bound to feel
greasy all the same to the fell
low who squeezes them. Her
moist hair will not stay crimp-
ed, and redness can't be driven
out Of her nose. Every strap,
stay and band is an annoyance.
She makes frequent changes Of
u1derclothing-even discards
drawers, reduces her skirts to
one, uses chemise of gossa-
mer stuff and wears stockings
so thin that their seeming flesh
color.is the real thing showing
through; but it is all in vain

dollars against Hanlan, Trick

most suitable course. His
next preferences are Saratoga
and Spring lakes.
Heredity is a big thing in
cats. A feminine puss Of
Louisville always visited a GER.

kittens were due, and after al
was over she would go aw

but every one of her neS
tens, after growing up to cat
hood, has repeated the eccen-
.tricity of the mother.
The Thinkers, or order OF
Brethren, are startled to find
that their younger members are
drifting a little away from the
old standards, and an abso
lutte division is not improbable.
The conservatives have Just
promulgated anew their unal-
terable belief in immersion as
the only form of baptism; in feet
washing as a religious rite; in
making the Lords supper a full
meal; in plain with caps for
women; in the inadvisability of
Sunday schools or a salaried
ministry, and in non-conformity
with the worlds people. 1t is
thought that the liberals far out

when the mistake was explain
