A Wonderful Menagerie.

Prof Starr of Westfleid, New Jersey, has
for tbirty-seven years devoted himself to the
study and exhibition of the microscope and
the little living beings it brings into view
We saw his exhibition the other evening and
it was the most interesting menagerie we
ever visited.
He has hundreds Of wonderful little
animals which he keeps in small glass cages
filed with water. These cages are placed
behind the microscope, and the figure of the
animal is somehow thrown upon a large
screen and magnifed in some cases, he said,
fifty million times. The color Of the animal
is shown, its motion. its eyes, and. / had
almost said. its very teeth.
The Professor showed us the eve and
mouth Of fly: piece Of the gizzard Of .
cricket; the little eels or wrieglers that live
in vinegar; piece Of pork full Of the dread
full trichine and in pinch Of sour paste we
saw millions Of wriRgling eels which looked
exactly like the big ones in the pond. There
were daphnia and cycIops. and many more
strange little creatures with names a great
deal bigger than they were themselves. One
beautiful little animals that was kept in a
cage filed with sea water, seemed frightened
at first in the bright light, and kept very
quiet. Presently he looked about AMI OPEN
ed out little wheel which he carried in q
tube in his head, and began to turn it rapidly,
like the wheel Of grist mill. This, we were
told, was to make current Of water. out Of
which the little miller strained his food. But
the great event Of the evening was the feed
ing Of the water tiger. a little ugly creature,
which looked as large as elephant upon
the screen. Some living things, which you
could only just see with the naked eye, were
thrown into the cage Of the water tiger. He
glared moment. then darted at them, and
as his neck and stomach were transparent
we could presently see them going down his
huge throat, kicking the best they knew how,
all the way down. -Chikdren's Museum.

Alabama Legislature.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, November Is.
The senate organized to-day by
the election of Geo. P Harrison
president, and W. L. Clay secretary.
In the house w. F. Foster was
elected speaker and D. W. McIver
secretary. Both branches of the
Legislature are Democratic by large
majorities. Governor Cobb's mes-
sage was sent in to both houses. It
deals almost entirely with State
matters.
The Governors message makes a
fine exhibit of State sffairs. The
bonded debt of the State is S94, =
O78,000, and the annual interest
S344,0 900. The amount of cash in
the treasury on October 1st, the end
of the last fiscal year, was $42l,O 900.
There has been a considerable in>
crease in the assessed value of the
property in the State, being nearly
25 per cent. in the last three
years. A reduction of taxa
ton is recommended, as the
State expenses have been greatly
reduced in the last few years, and
after paying every claim there has
been surplus at the end of each
year. The greater part of the mes>
sage is devoted to recommenda
tions to the Legislature and a re-
view of the public institutions of the
State, which are all in good condi-
ton. The message, on the whole,
gives great satisfaction and shows
the State to be on high road to a
prosperous future.

Newspapers and Their Price.
Emporia (Kan. News.


There has been some talk of late
in the Kansas City papers, and 9TH
ers in that neighborhood, about
cheap papers, caused by the reduc-
ton in the subscri ption price of the
Kansas City Times and the Topeka
Commonwealth. We presume the
proprietors of both papers had some
good reasons for reducing the sub
scription price Of their papers one
half. They say by the act that if
they can now afford to furnish their
papers at SIS year they have hereto
fore been practicing extortion by
charging $40 This is the conclu~
sion which many people will reach.
For some years the managers
OF the Times conducted it ems
entirely upon the sensational basis.
This coming to an end, as sensational
papers always do, and the paper falls
mg back on its merits as newspa
per, lthnds its competitor outstriping
1t IN the race. The cheap dodge was
resorted to to enable the paper to
regain lost ground, but it will not
WIN. Two things must result from
the reduction; either the paper can
not spend the money upon It's pages
necessary to make it a good newspa-
per, or 1t will die The folly of try
Tug to run a SO paper on S5 has

The Work House Force.

Esq. Peyton Carter, superintendent of
the Knox County work house, retains
force of over sixty convicts pretty much all
the time, and they are still doing good work
overhauling and rebuilding the old Rut-
ledge pike. from the point where they
began, at Col. @. W. Halls, about
three miles from the city. He has expert
enced slight drawback in the shape of as
sistance in hauling rock to citizens, which
work has been impeded on account of the
busy season of sowing wheat for the past
week or two. The work is going
steadily on, however, and the rock
is spread to point this side of the Thomp-
son field, beyond the old fair ground.
The rock crusher is being moved nearer
to the city, at point near M. E. Thomp-
sons home, and work will be commenced
crushing rock there to-day. The prison
quarters remain, however, at the old point
near Constable J. e. Kinks residence.

Resigned.

New YORK, November l6.-A New
Orleans special to the Times states
that Hon. Thos. j. Semmes, an
eminent lawyer aud ex~Confederate
State Senator, resigned his seat as
president of the city council yester-
day, on account of the provision in
the new city charter forbidding any
member of the council being inter
ested in any contract or business en-
gagement paid for out of the city
treasury. It is said Semme's inter-
probation of the law will probably
disqualify several other members of
the city government, among them, it
is alleged, Mr.. Behan, the newly
elected mayor, who is judgment
creditor OF the city, under the old
contract, for lighting the suburban
portion of the town with coal Oil.
