We expressed the opinion last week that
State Senator Norris would probably take a
rest during the balance OF the session so far
as legislation in the interest Of the National
Guard was concerned, but instead Of doing
so he straightway offered bill which pro
vides for 4 Signal Corps to be attached to
each division Of the Guard, to consist of three
officers and eight privates, who shall receive
the pay and emoluments Of cavalry officers
and privates. II Norris keeps "pegging
away" at this business, rs he undoubtedly
will, the National Guard will have very long
tail to its kite by the time he gets in all his
work

NO man left the Senate with greater re-

as a gentleman, his att0iuments rs q egisla-

years Of service, while he took prominent
part IN all the important questions before
the body, ard was always positive i'm his
party fealty, he made no enemies and con-

LACES.

Not every day are our lace counters filed
with buvers. They would be, if every lady
knew two facts, viz, first, that we have the
newest and choicest of laces of every grade !:
second, that we sell them below the market
Ihe difficulty is that every merchant saws
the same two things and you don't think it
very saucy TO doubt just little, because ad-

neither more or less. For example. SEE to-
day torchon at 10 cents, which sells else
where at 20 cents about How do vye know?
why We sold It ourselves for 10 cents last
week. Not one in hundred OF our regular
customers knows how we crowd prices down.
How can we expect others to believe that
our policy IS low prices, when almost every
merchant studies how 10 keep them up2
As to aSsOTtments, what do YOU suppose
we do with nine lace counters? Why, there
Is no such stock in Philadelphia We have
thousands of dollars worth Of fine laces shut
up in boxes. We have very poor facilities
for exhibiting them but we shall surprise
you If you ask to see them

a BILL has been reported favorably in the
State Senate fixing the salaries Of members
Of the Legislature at 81, 900 for regular ses-
sions not exceeding one hundred days,
81, 800 for regular sessions orer one hundred
days, a1d $1,000 for extra sessions. This
means, of course, that the members are de-
termined upon getting out of the State treas
ury 81 800 each, MISUNDERSTANDING the opinion
of the Attorney General that the salary for
a session, long or short, must be limited 20
$1,000. Suppose this bill passes and the Leg
islature adjOurns at the end Of one hundred
and ten days, would the members, in addi-
ton to $, 600 to which they are now entitled
for one hundred days, put in their pockets
$500 for the extra ten days? And yet the
act would give them $500 each if the session
lasted only one day over one hundred instead
OF ten. The Congressional salary grab strew-
ed the political pathway with the corpses of
a vast number of the men who voted for it,
and the members OF the present Legislature
had better take warning from their fate. In
their hostility to the Attorney General they
may rush into the opposite extreme and Just
ly incur the stern vengeance of their constItu
ents. They all want to put in 80 days at
$40 per day. Let them do il, and in the
meantime pass the bill now in the Senate

tiOn over State officers IN mandamus proceed

THE Leavenworth Standard of Friday last
published an account of one of the most re
markable and interesting archaeological dis
cOveTies ever made in the West. 1t is the
site of an ancient forti6cation, supposed to
have been built by party of Spaniards who
visited that region some 800 years ago. The
fort is on high point of land OF the banks
of the Missouri River, ten miles south of
LeavenwOTth City. 1t covers an area OF
about twenty acres, and consists of the evil
dent remains of redoubts, bastious and rife
pits. The discovery excites great interest
throughout the State.

The LEGISLATURES IKE.-SinCe the At
tOrncy General has taken such particular
care {" force the Legislators to give mp part
of their salary. the legislators think it no
more than fair, says the Harrisburg Patriot
70 retallate in the same coin, and they are
preparing to do this in n very energetic way
Senator Laird, of WeStmureland, has in
trOduced bill providing for the punishment
of the State Treasurer and Auditor General
if they should allow the Attorney General
more than the salary of Sc, 500 a year, which
the law gives him for his services as AttOr-
ney General in addition to fees, not exceed
ing s., 900 annually, arising from the cOllec-
ton of commonwealth claims upon which he
is allowed FIVE per cent. for collection. Since
his appointment Mr.. Palmer'S fees have ag-
QreGated twice the amount of his salary, and
Senator LAIRD has determined that this
thing shall not occur again If he can help it.
The constitution may interfere a little with
the proposed reduction, as one of its prOvis-
ions sets forth that neither the salary or fees
Of a public officer shall be increased or dim
inisned during the time for which he may be
elected or appointed.
Senator Norris bill fixing the salary of
members of the Legislature at 81 500 for
each regular session exceeding 100 days, was
reported in the Senate on Friday, as was an
nOunced in Saturdays edition, and had the
effect of Frightening up the grave countenan-
Ces of the Senators. The proposition makes
it possible for members to obtain $500 foT
one days services and looks like more retail
iatiOn on the Attorney General. The CON-
mittee which prepared the bill had before il
a suggestion that for 81, 800 the members re-
main in session 80 days, but it was not IA
vorably entertained. There is no doubt that
the Governors assurances have led to the
preparation of this relief measure, but it is
feared that the Attorney General may decide
that it cannot constitutionally be made tC

4 KIND-HEARTED CAT.-A tabbv cat on
State street has recently so distinguished
itself by committing an unnatural act as to
merit newspaper mention. Some days ago,
as is not at all remarkable, puss ushered into
the world, for the purpose of joining the
nocturnal tOTmentOrs whose census has nev-
er been taken, nestful of lively kittens.
These, however, were soon destroyed by
member Of the household, and the bereaved
mother was thereby thrown into a "eTeen
and yellow melancholy" But this state of
feelings lasted very short time. TabSy de-
termined to supply her loss in some way,
which she did in a very novel and unnatural
manner. 1t appears that short time after
the drowning OF her kittens a member of the
family had occasion to go to a certain room
in the second story OF the house, and that
there, in snug little bed made for herself
lay tabby in a comfortable position, while a
large rat was eagerly accepting of the Offices
which nature designed for the drowned kit
tens. In this position lay the rat and its fos-
ter mother-natural enemies as to genus and
species-in the most complete contentment.
the cat purring loudly and the rat evidently
pleased with its condition of adoption But
the whole thing was too unnatural for the
On-lOOker, and It was very short time be-
fore puss was again made lone wanderer
