A BIg-Hended Legislature.

Louisville POST
Cotton is the staple product Ofthe
South, and siUce the war the Southern
people have been endeavoring to en-
courage the building Of cotton manu-
factories throughout that section. AS
an aid to this good work it has pro-
posed to hold agrand cotton EXPOSITION
at Atlanta, Ga. The originators Of
the scheme, no doubt, thought that it
would stimulate manufacturing in the
South. The North was asked to cor
tribute, and responded with 500, COS,
while the South Only gave $4,000.
The State Of Georgia was asked to
contribute $4,000, but a bill for that
purpose was overwh elmingly defeated.
The argument agaii ist the sppropria-
ton was that it was a private affair,
} originating out Of the State. China

A French story About am Eng
lishman.

From the Partisan.
This story is not true. Mr.. Gam.
beta does not generally carry a cane.
AT Charonne, last week, he seized the
stick Of a foppisb municipal councillor
and beat the table so vigorously that
the cane suffered. When the couu-
eilor recovered possession of the bat
tered stick, he was obliged to take it
to the stick maker to have it repaired.
Seeing its wretched condition, the
stick maker said. Leave the cant
with me end l will sell it to some
Englishman." And, indeed, a few
days afterward a tall Englishman
with yellow hair and teeth like piano
keys, paid for the stick its weight il
gold, and went on his way rejoicing.
