The lady visitors to the State House
Yesterday were noticeable by their
a's'rc'.
IL was a funny sight to see the grave
auI dignified Senators scamperiDg
through the corridors yesterday alter
noon when it was noised abroad that
there had been ordered call Of the
Senate.
In the House, yesterday, the session
was a very dull one, and one or two
members amused themselves with carl
caturing members. The one entitled
Lowry with his back up" was quite
masterpiece, and was Well(s) done. 1t
represented an immense cat with Low
rvs, face, its back bumped up and about
tn pounce upon long-tailed rat with
Judge Ferguson face. The gentleman
from Calhoun was sketched in lite-like
manner.

merly a member OF the House, was
about the Capitol yesterday.
DIR. +. l.. Boggs, OF Charleston, was
upon the floor OF the Senate yesterday
afternoon.

at arms Anderson proved fully equal to

An attempt was made yesterday to
prevent the ladies from carrying con-

a policeman arresting lady suspected
of carrying concealed weapons-simp'y
horrible.
Messrs. Sydenstricker, Crumrine, Poe,
Hobbs, Davis, Sharp, Irons, Steere and
Wayt were all absent on leaves OF al
sence Yesterday, which were granted on
Saturday.

Harrison county. -
Hon. Geo. F. Evans, member-elect OF
the House OF Delegates, from Der kelley
