PENURIoUs LAW MAKING.

The State Register pays lefthanded com
pliment to members of the general assem-
bly,, many of whom it charges with being
penurious in high degree. But this will
not apply to the members from Decatur.
1t says:
There are people in the state of Illinois
who think the biennial sessions of the gen
eral assembly in this city are a source OF
great profit to Springfield, in a commercial
way This is true to some extent, but not
in the degree believed by the public gener-
ally. True, some two hundred Representa-
tives Senators and of the two houses board
in our midst but as a rule they get about
as near value received for what they pay as
any class of people known. 1t was
said, and the name given, that a rep
resentative tried to get boarding
house where he might by saving the
wood for the family, get reduction on his
board. Another idea stoutly maintained is
that when board and rooms are taken by
the week that pro rata reduction should
be made for the days when the boarder
goes home over Sunday. Another instance
is that of two members who boarded and
lodged for some time at six-dollar-a-w week
house. but, finding a four-dollar house, re-
moved to it, though it was much inferior
in every respect, as everyone will under
stand from the price. Still another case
was where representative wanted visitors
dining with him charged at the weekly
rate of five dollars, or less than thirty
cents meal. And so on the cases are
numberless which might be cited illustrat-
ing the determination by the members to
leave as little behind as possible. OF course
there are exceptions, liberal, reasonable
gentlemen; and again there are those who
spend all they get and get little ahead of
the town some times

THE REASON WHY.

1t was a Boston girl who asked: "|Why
is it that two souls, mated in the impenetra-
bic mystery of their nativity, float by each
other on the ocean currents of existence,
without being instinctively drawn together
blended and beautiful in the assimilated
alemblc of eternal lover That is an easy
one. 1t is because butter is As cents a
pound, and good seal-skin sacque costs
as high as $500 The necessaries of life
must experience fall in price before two
souls will readily blend in the assimilated
alembic and so forth.-N0rri8t0zc Herald

BAp FOR BERNHARDT.

[Eli Perkins in the Kansas City Journal
When interviewed more seriously as to
some things going on in the East, Eli
said:
"Sarah Brenhardt is the great excite.
ment just at present. She is the one
subject of conversation in Boston and
New York"
"What do you think of her wholesale
condemnation by the clergymen?" asked
the reporter.
They act nobly," said Eli, with a
satirical look. Didn't Christ spurn
Mary Magdalen? Our Saviour didn't say:
Let him amsng you who is without sin
cast the first stone, Oh no; He kicked
poor Mary Magdalen down and sat on
her."
"Do you think Sara Bernhardt very
wicked?"
"Very. Well she was little limo.
cent girl, with no father or mother to
watch over her, she fell in love with a
medical student. He won her love,
promised to marry her, and one day Sara
found herself the mother of an innocent
little babe. Then when the medical
student deserted her, with none but God
to help her, wicked Sara took that little
babe to her bosom, reared it and brought
it up. If she had been good, pious
woman, she would have thrown the babe
in the river, or dropped it off the column
Vendome. But no. Sara, the wretch,
raised it, loved it and spared its life
Now, that medical student has what
call high-toned Christian name. He
deserted Sara and the ba5y-Aed the
town, and instead of wasting money to
support the baby, he spent it nobly in
the saloons for rum and brandy. But
there is one mean thing about Sara that
has not been spoken of.
"What is that?"
"Why, fifteen years after she had
saved her baby she became rich and
famous. Then she went and inquired
out the father of her babe. He was poor
and starving, and what do you think that
mean, miserable woman did? Why she
gave him money and clothes. Fed him,
and even now she allows him $500 year
to keep him from the poorhouse. Oh,
Sara Bernhardt is very bad woman
very, and still Mary Magdalen was the
last at the cross and the first at the
grave"

Washington Capital: Much attention
is being paid now to kissing as an art.
The principles of the new scheme are said
to work admirably by those who have
tried them. They produce aesthetic re-
suits without diminishing the normal
fascination of kissing. Hundreds of men
can bear witness that, after having been
kissed by the woman they adored. they
felt just as if they had been hit in the
face with mop. Hundreds of women
can testify that osculation has caused
them more trouble in repairing damages
before looking-glass than the pleasure
OF the thing was worth. Under tho pro.
jected dispensation, man need not make
a woman's head look like cornfield,
after a hurricane, and the woman's kiss
need not reach from mans chin to the
top of his head at one full swoop. Here.
after, kissing will be dessert--not .
meal.
