LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

By two-thlrds vote Of each house the legislative session has been extended to the 18th inst.
 The senate is composed of able and dignified gentlemen, and is g creditabls body.
 The house has passed a hill pro- vidlng for the publication of list of the delinquent lands of 1878-9.
 The prohibition amendment will pass. The house bill will be amend ed slightly so as to permit the man ufacture of wine from grapes and blackberrles for family use.
 Since last Thursday both bodies have been industriously at work for the good of the state in the enact msnt of laws of general importance notably the revenue and general ap- propriation bills.
 Most of the bills passed are ol local application and will not be ol special intsrsst to the general reader. However, next week we will give q conplete list by title of all the laws enacted by this assembly.
 The bill endorsing the proposed national farmers congress and au. thorizing the governor to appoint one delegate from each congressional district, has become . law. The ob- jeet of the movement is the very eommendable one of advancing the agricultural interests of the country.
 Last Friday the senate indulged in some unnecessarily severe Ian, guage concerning the proposed con stitutional convention, and out of which grew q hot debate on the late Fishbask amendment. The digni- fled senators gave way'to passion as quickly as school l-boys over . game of bat and ball.
 The report of the committee on auditors and treasursr's books, be- tween which there is claimed to be discrepancy of several thousand dollars in the books examined, is not regarded as positive proof of criminality on the part of either au- ditor or sx-treasursr. It is believed that an expert accountant can rsadi- ly reconcile the differences discov- cred by the committee. Some blame is cast upon the committee for re, porting the matter until thoroughly satisfied that the discrepancies could not be accounted for.
 The house is . large and un- wisldy body, and has some members, young and thoughtlsss, whose reten- ton at home would have redounded to the good of the state. h the main, the house is . respectable body, and contains some of the most brilliant minds and ardent friends of the state. Our own representative, Hon. H. c. Howell, has made an sx- csllsnt member, and is regarded by his colleagues as an industrious, trustworthy and efficient officer, and an assiduous worker in the commit tee rooms. MT. Howell has repre- sentsd his constituency in . faithful and zealous manner and will return to them with clean hands and a clear record.

NEGRO AND oURANa oUTANa.
Nashville American.

A London paper OF a recent date
says: A remarkable struggle took
place on Thursday afternoon at the
Royal Aquarium between negro
named Dock Perry, keeper Of the
wild animals IN tina. establishment,
and the oorsng outsng, Familiarity
known as the "Wild Man of the
Woods" II appears that the animal
in question, which has been on exhi-
bition at tho aquarium for period
of nearly twelve months, has been
purchased by the proprietor of a
menagerie in Paris, aud that yester>
day it became necessary to take tho
animal from its cage in order to send
it to its destination. At the hour
named the negro Perry entered the
cage (which has three compartments)
with IL cane in hand, and having
opened one of the slides, which usu-
ally admits the keeper, attempted to
drive the ourang outang out into
the cage. The ourang outang, how-
ever, showed fight, and closed with
the man, clasping his great arms,
which are twice the length of tb ose
of man, around the negro. The
keeper, who ia stalwart fellow,
grappled with his opponent around
the neck, and, in the sight of mum
Der of spectators, most exciting
wrestling struggle took place. After
about FIVE minutes the ourang outang
was oyerpowered and driven into
the cage intended for him, and
about 8 o'clock he was dispatched
from the aquarium to bis destination.
The negro was bitten in the left
hand during the struggle.

WHISKY DRINKING IN A DRY CLI~
MATE. The eGeot Of alcohol on tho
Indians of the high, dry plains, even
when taken in small quantities, is
to almost instantly drive them crazy.
The frequent assaults that have been
made by mounted Indians armed
with bows ard arrows, on Western
trading posts defended by American
rlnemer, sharply indicate the effect
of alcohol 10 men of highly nervous
temperament, natives of dry cOun-
try where the light atmosphere is
highly charged with electricity.
So it is with white men. The
murderous acts of "cow boys" when
under the influence of liquor, are
we'll known. When sober, a more
hospitabIe and kind,hearted class
does not exist. When drunk they
exhibit ell the characteristics of the
Indians. They are transferred into
bowling, bloodthirsty tends. They
shoot and stab each other, as well
as puofending strangers, with the
savageness of Cheyennes or Sioux.
Most of these men aare residents OF
western Texas. Many of them were
born in that State
Almost all of them have lived on
the plains for term of years. The
country they inhabit is arid and OF
an altitude cf from 1920 to 5000
feet above the sea. Throughout the
pastoral region the atmosphere is
surcbarged with electricity that ex~
peuds its force in terrific thunder
storms, 10 tornadoes, and in the
dreaded dry waterSpouts. Through
Out the pastoral region the fact that
a man who has become acclimated
cannot safely stimulate himself with
alcohol is well known, and has long
been admitted by all thinking men.

DON'T GO TO EUROPE ON A WED
DING TOUR.
Chicago Inter Ocean

In the first place, girls, think Of
being seasick on the Atlantic as the
beginning of your honeymoon -
Imagine the awful necessity Of com
ing on deck with a lurch and
groan and tumble as you surge
toward your deck chair. Fancy the
experience Of leaving all your bangs
and frizzes in your state room, and
appearing before your bridegroom
with your face tied up with flannel
scarfs on account of dreadful neu
ralgia. You are sure TO have neu-
ralgia when seesick if ever you had
it in your life, and very likely to be
afflicted with it if not subject to the
disease. OF course you won't care
at the time no cares for. anything
human when suffering with sea sicks
ness. But think of the disenchant.
ing effect upon your new husband,
particularly if he is not i'll himself.
Then there are the wretched de-
laws in the Custom House where you
land, and no mortal bride likes to
have her trunks opened and paved
over by soma rude men. There are
draughty stations, and stupid ser
wants in hotels, and myriad beggars,
and a million other yexstions oil
travel which the bsjas who set'
forth upon tour offs pkspetwill finC
to try her soul. Aud khsn she viii
learn that her beloved isn't Away
paragon of pstiente, AND she viii
see that it would has6sbeen far wisel
to have stayed at hSrne land made
her husbands acquaintance before
starting forth with him upon tour
Of Europe. 4.t.<a ..
If, after ten or twenty years Of
happy married life, q couple fDd
themselves disposed to try a lOsg
journey together, a tin>wedding or q
silver wedding journey may be
found pleasant aud profitable. The
wife then knows what her husband
is in the habit of saying when dis
turbed, as no bride ever knows, and
the husband has discovered that bis
wife sometimes forgsts, angelic as
she may otherwise be, and with this
mutual knowledge and strong mu>
tual love the journey might be an
experience OF untold happiness.
But it is very risky work for q
bride, and she might better COM
mence housekeeping at once, and
take no wedding journey at all, than
this long one over sea aud land.

now TO SUCCEED.

In the first place if you want to
make yourself miserable, be selfish.
Think all the time of yourself and
your things. Don't care about any
thing else. Have no feelings for
any one but yourself. Never think of
enjoying the satisfaction OF seeing
others happy ; but rather, if you
should see a smiling face, be jealous
lest another should enjoy what you
have not. Envy every one who is
better off than yourself; think an
kindly toward them, and speak
lightly of them BE constantly afraid
lest some one should encroach upon
your rights be watchful f it, and
if any one come near your things
snap at them like mad dog. Con
tend earnestly for everything that is
your own that msy not be worth q
pin. Never yield point BE very
sensitive, ard take everything that
is said to you 10 plsyfulness in the
most serious manner. BE Jealous OF
your friends lest they should not
think enough of you and if at any
time they should seem I" neglect
you, put the worst construction mp
on their conduct

AN IsHMAELITE DUN.

There are many ways of dunnipg
people ; but our friend Lewis, of the
Sparta Ishmaelite, takes the blue
ribbon 10 that line, He used to
teach school in Perry, and in the
last issue of the Perry Journal we
find the following dun, which we
confidently pronounce without a
parallel:
"The Houston county people, who
still owe me for tuition bills, ought
either to pay me, or quit praying 10
public. 1t will be easier to pay
this money now, than to work it out
in the Eternal Tropics. SlDNDY

THE RIGHT TALK
Philadelphia Times,

Every boy ought to have some
time to read, If he be so overload
ed with lessons that he is deprived
of this, there ia mistak somewhere.
The poor fellows who are so cruelty
driven with studies in school and at
home that they have no time for OK
ercise or independent reading may
receive high marks for their lessons
and graduate with what goes by the
name of "honors." Bnt they are
likely to be ha,>chested men, with
weak lungs and ailiDg stomachs, and
to die OF consumption or liver con-
plant before finishing their half
century. The boy who combines
the right amount of school study and
home study With fair quantity OF
vigorous exercise and the proper
seasoning of liberal course of read>
ing will find himself best fitted to
enter on career of usefulness when
he shall reach manhood.
