In the proceedings of the legislature which
appeared in yesterday mornings paper IS
the report of the enacting clause OF q railroad
bill from the senate being stricken out in the
house, which of course killed the bill. We
have been asked by a number of persons il
this was the bill about which now there is SO
much talk, q bill to regulate railroads. In
answer, we soy no. This was bill regulating
the matter of right.of-way through lands TO
railroads A similar bill originating in the
house had been previously voted down, anda
similar bill could not this session be consti-
tutionally entertained, so it was quietly
knocked on the head by striking out the
enscting clause. The only action taken on
the bill regulating railways, freight tariff,
ETC., was the adoption of q substitute re-
ported by the COMMITTEES on railroads. in
lieu of the original bill. This substitute has
vet TO be read the SIC ind time, then engrossed,
am snded and ,readtae third time, before it
passes the house, and then it has to run the
gauntlet Of ths senate, and lsst, thegovernor.
What this substitutes is, we cannot say, but
imsgine it softens the harsh features, If any
ever existed, of tho original bill.

For SONS months past the press Of this

know as, owing TO the weakness of our eyes
we do not read anything but the plainest OF

paragraph snd extracts about the baroness

asserting that some thirty years ago.
the lady was in America following

credit for doing it we'll at least: She was not
even then young woman, nor was she
even handsome. She looked from 30 TO IA
y6s,s Of age. Her features were thick and
Irregular, hel complexion muddy end thick
texture. She was of medium height and
most exquisitely moulded, having especially
fine rounded, sloping shoulders, over which
she invariably wore a truly regal camel's
hair shawl. She was always dressed plainly
In a dark silk or cashmere dress, and every
night that Mario sang. Miss OoutLs sat in the
stage box entirely alone. She was dressed
80 simple, her manners and appearacs being
80 uaassuming and the reverse of striking,
ths. op ra.goers of that day took little notice
Of her beyond an occasional surmise as TO
who the lcne lady in the box was. for thif
was before tie era OF mstinees and ladies
going 10 places Of amusement unsccompsn-
led BY gentlemen. She would sit bali
concealed by the curtains the whole per-
formance thro agh with rapt expression on
her face, as II she were fairly enchanted by
the tones Of the heavenly tenor. The per-
formance over she would stsni a few mo-
ments as II waiting for the recall and 81

bend on him look full Of sdmiration, which
he returned, while Crisis black eyes hssbcd

that Mr.. Folger will not be called to the

$l05,000 claim. But we are not so certain
about that. A faint of some kind seems to

NO MANS LAND.

The popular impression that New
foundland is a dependency of Great
Britain appears to be erroneous. LORD
Dunraven has just called attention TO
the fact that, by the treaty Of Utrecht,
still in force, fishing rights over the
shore frem Cape Ray to Cape John,
comprising about three-sevenths OF the
entire coast line of the island, were Sc
cured to France, and that country lays
claim to strip of land half a mile in
width along the entire western seaboard'
Some day the settlement Of conflicting
claims of the English and French Gov
ernments will afford fine field for
diplomatic maneuvering. Meanwhile,
the uncertainty is serious bar to the
prosperity of the whole island. The
Government is debarred from making
any disposition Of over 10000 square
miles of land. Nobody cares to purchase
or attempt to develop the resources o
the land. Worse still, as it is subject t.
no authority, it has become the refns'
of criminals of all classes, for no writ
are effective there, but every man doe

A KANSAS MAZEPPA.

In Lamar, Kansas, one day last week,
a party Of lads who had been reading
Byron's "Mazeppa' concluded to nave
some fun with cow-the only wild
steed available at that time. They
coaxed the cow into the barn, barred the
doors and drew lots for the Mazeppa.
The boy who drew the short straw, a
wiry little fellow Of thirteen years, was
tied securely upon the cows back. The
noble animal seemed to take in the stu
alton and to realize that her reputation
as an actress was at stake. Her acting
was magnificent, indeed. for she brought
down the house-by sections. Although
the audience all had parquette and dress
circle tickets, they thought they could
look at the play better from the gallery,
and so they slid up into the hay-mow
and tried to crawl out through the root,
while the old COW was churnlng about
fourteen years growth out Of Mazepp'
and believing like steam calliope
while Mazeppa passed most OF the tim
yelling like pig fast in fence. Th'
show probably would be going on now
had not the owner of the barn concluded
that a cyclone was wrestling with it AM
dashed out to prevent it's demolition.
