THE PAY OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The question whether the members of
the Legislature are entitled to pay during
the extra session is one which no doubt
possesses an abiding interest for these
gentlemen, though unless some public
benefactor of the Bonanza Burke type
should think fit to bring the question to
a test, it is probable that the Treasurer
and Controller will determine it in accord
ance with the most liberal construction.
The Constitution is by no means clear
upon the point. In Article ", Section 2,
it provides that "no pay shall be allowed
" to members for a longer time than
sixty days" In Article v, Section 9,
it provides that the Governor may, on
" extraordinary occasions, convene the
" Legislature by proclamation, stating the
purposes for which he convened it, and
6 when so convened it shall have 10
power to legislate on any subjects other
" than specified in the proclamation, but
" may provide for the expenses Of the
" session and other matters incidental
/" thereto. 1t may be held that the
phrase, Expenses of the session and
other matters Incidental thereto" covers
the pay of the members. Certainly their
pay may be regarded as part and parcel of
the expenses of the session. Ii it is not
that, what is it? 1t is true that in the Ar
ticle first cited it is expressly provided

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT.

1t Is reported that when the post morton
examination OF Hattie Deuel. was made. it
was discovered that she had "not sim
gle drop OF blood in her body" This is
truly remarkable statement. We have
heard OF persons who had fallen into so de.
plorable condition of health that their con.
stitutiens were quite gone, and they were
consequently driven to live upon their
bylaws, but we never before heard of
anyone succeeding in maintaining existence
without a single drop of blood. If the
telegraph had made the slightest conoes.
sion if it had been willing to leave her
even half a pint of blood, we would
have tried to believe the story, because
we are mindful of the well authenticated
case of the horse whose diet was redaced
to one straw day, before he succumbed.
But not a single drop is allowed us, and so
we are forced to conclude either that a
miracle occurred in this case, or that the
telegraphic account of it is somewhat in
accurate, to put it as mildly as possible.
Physiology does not admit the possibility
of life without blood, and though it is true
that Miss Deuel. did die at last, we must
decline to accep. the theory that she lived
until she had consumed the last drop of
blood in her veins. This story would have
suited one of the chronicles of the middle
ages, but it is rather too strong for the
present day
