THE GAME LAW.

The game law which was amended
by the last Legislature, after being pro-
mulgated in the official journal and
copied in various papers throughout
the State, has created, in proportion,
as much doubt and excitement among
the hunters as that other law-the
school law-did among those Interested
in education in the State.
As published in the newspapers, the
first section of the act makes it unlaw-
full to "catch, kill or pursue with such
intent any wild ducks, deer or fawn,"
etc. The time prescribed in which this
is unlawful, is between the first day of
March and the first day of October, OF
each year.
Hunters knowing that at the season
of the year mentioned wild ducks
could not be found, as they havc flown
North, hence they concluded that it
must be wild buck that are referred to-.
At all events they agree that ii is i'm
possible for it to mean duck. The law,
however, as printed in the acts of the
last Legislature, plainly mentions wild
duck.

ABOUT PINS.

What becomes of all the pins: Can
any of our young folks inform us?
"Uscd up" are they? and how? We
scarcely ever sec a pin with the head
worn off, so none are wasted in this
way. Surely none are broken, nor
worn to any pcrceivable lesser size,nor
"shortencd up,' so as to be thrown
away; and so where do these important
little objects hide themselves? "Get
bent" do they: Yes, come to think of
it, some do get considerably "warped'
in the using. But, girls, very few pins,
according to the whole number used,
get thrown aside as worthless on ac-
count of becoming, "bent." Somehow,
pins get out of sight-utterly lost in a
mysterious manner. Occasionally, a
pin is "picked up' from the house
floor, or perhaps from the door yard,
butvery few, indeed, are thus gathered
up for secondary use. We are not going
to attempt to tell just, whore all the
pins go, after filling their too brief
mission. But we are certain that each
minute, useful article finds place in
which TO crust out' its slim, wiry
body. Surely :spaper of pins" ought

THE GOOD OLD TIMES,

Dearly beloved, so there are men in
Burlington this very Sabbath morn
ing who sigh for the good old times,
when our times surpass those of Solo
mon more than his days surpassed tho
years of Egyptian bondage. You can
buy box of matches to-day for five
cents while Solomon's throne Of ivory
and gold couldn't have brought one
match. The Queen Of Sheba thought
Solomon's wisdom and greatness were
were beyond apprehension; what would
she say could she only have be-
held Il yard engine of the Burlington
and Northwestern narrow guage? The
weight of gold that came to Solomon
in one year was six hundred three
score and six talents of gold, but with
all of it he couldn't buy Il common
hard coal base burner. He had four
teen chariots and $4,000 horsemen, but
he couldn't telegraph to Hiram that
he wanted Il cedar raft as soon as it
could be shipped and he couldn't oven
give his messenger q horse that could
trOt in 2:3O. There wasn't ncWSpa-
per nor II printing press in his king
dom, SO he didn't know what it was to
write "dimes" and see it printed t'din-
ners.' There are convcnicnccs to-day
in the county almshouse that Solomon
had to go without. We can buy Il
watch for $50, yes, for 50, that he
couldn't have bought with his king
dom. We haven't so many wives as
he had, but we have better chifnren-
much better, indeed, for children all
right he never put it into practice in
his own family.
There are no times like these we
live in. There never will be any to
equal them until we are dead, and then
times will be better and grandcr than
they are now. Enjoy your own day.
Remember that the world is better to-
day, dearly beloved, than it was when
you came into it and that it is going to
be great deal better still when you 20
out of it. 1t is getting better all the time
and thou dost not inquire wisely when
thou saycst, "What is tho cause that
the former days were better that
thcse?' BwlinytOn L/o'rhcyc.

however, in his older years been able
tocontrol his temper, and had mellow
ed greatly. There was no man on the
Democratic side for whom the Repub-
licans had a higher personal regard,
and while he grew day by day SEEM
ingIy more radical in his Democracy,
and came to be recognized as one otthe
leading men in the Senate of the So
called Bourbon faction, yet his perso-
nal relations with Senators on the Re-
publican side We're SO kindly and
pleasant that his bitter invective never
left any personal sting. He even be-
ceme pleasantly acquainted and asso-
ciated with Malone, thing that at
the time Of their encounter on the floor
of the Senate in the spring of 1881
would have seemed almost impossible.
Hill's sudden discovery of the fatal
disease last summer undoubtedly gave
him far more concern tEan he ever eX-
hibited. He took his seat in the SEN
ate at tho beginning of the session as
Matt Carpenter did Il year ago, know
ing that he was a doomed man. Net
he betrayed no sign of fear
or apprehension. His philosophy of
life seemed to be broad enough to en-
able him, as it did Carpenter, not only
to accept tho inevitable without repin-
ing, but also with such large show of
cheerfulness as to deceive his friends,
even his family.
His death removes one of the most
distinguished and familiar figures in
Washington life. He was not man
who hid his talents or his frailties un-
der a bushel, and his career had Il hu.
man interest which attached to but
few other members of the Senate. With
his death there passes away another
and almost the last of that extra
ordinary group of men which made the
conflicts in the Forty-fifth and Forty
sixth Congresses so notable. A visitor
to the Senate chamber now notices the
absence of Conkling, Blaine, Thurman,
Carpenter, Hamlin, and Hill all Of
whom took conspicuous part in those
controversies, but none q more
brilliant and Influential part than
the sharp-eyed, emphatic Senator from
Georgia. Ofthose leaders, Beck, Hoar,
and Edmunds are now almost the only
Senators of note who remain. Among
Senators he was personally very popular,
and the round robin letter of sympathy
which they sent him, and in which
tribute Senator Hoar took the initia-
tive, expressed the sincere feelings of
his colleagues. This letter gave Sen
ator Hill the greatest pleasure, and did
much to sustain him in his last illness.

BERMUDA VS.. NUT-GRASS.

GRENADA, Miss.
Ed. SOUTHERN WoIsID--I SEQ in the
April number (l5th) of your paper, an
inquiry from Mr.. j. N. Cochran, of
South Carolina: "Wi1t bermuda Grass
root out Nut-C;rass? For his benefit
rs we'll rs that of your many readers, l
answer, yes, beyond question. l have
a garden attached to my dwelling,
about one-third of nm acre, in which
the coco grass had taken such n hold
that 1 was forced to abandon It for
garden purposes. l planted 1t In fruit
trees some four or five years ago, and
left them and the COCO to fight tho
battle. Tho Bermuda grass gradually
spread into the garden from tho side
walks along the street, until 1t overrun
the garden, and now not Il spear Of COCO
is to be found except in II few places
rooted up by tho hogs, and as yet not
covered with Bermuda. My expert
ence with this pest, demonstrates but
two remedies one is to dig up the nuts
IAN almost endless job, and burn them,)
the other is Bermuda grass. 1 also
note what your correspondent A. q. c.,
of Clarksville, Tennessee, has to say
about Bermuda grass in April 1st of
your paper. He evidently knows
nothing about the grass. 1t will grow
well on white sand, or on tho poorest
red clay land, with not particle of
original soil, and know from expert
encc, whereof l speak, instead of
"curse," it is II great boon to tho
Southern farmer, particularly those
who have washed and worn out lands.
1t will enrich them faster than clover
or peas, and yield more forage to the
acre for stock, than any grass that
grows. 1t Is only allowed to spread
in cultivated fields by careless, slovcnIy
farmers, and turning it over shallow
late in the fall, and thorough cultiva-
tion will destroy it in one year. II is
the coming grass for tho South, for
both pasturage and hay, as well as tho
cheapest and best fertilizer.

to last, at least, twice as long in a house
hold as 1t does. Lasting longer, they
would not get shorter, nor lose their
heads, nor become less in thickne of
body, but only little more bent with
with age; and SO to what place do they
go, after all: But me-thinks one bright
eyed, tiny maiden says: 81 can tell
you where lots of pins go, and so are
lost; some are swept into the dust-pan
and put in the fire; some are brushed
out of the door into the dirt; and many
are lost in the school-room and church
that are never picked up, and roguish
boys lose many in the dust while play
ing pins and some are lost while we
are riding out aud attending picuics;
because every few minutes some one
says: sGive me pin, for I'vo just lost
one, aud don't wish to take the trouble
to find it," Upon reflection we will
ingly accept this solution of the prob
lem.
But before we close, allow It's to figure
a little as to the probable number Of
pins used in the United States in one
year, and we wish our young mathe
maticians to "recon" after us to see if
we have made any mistake. Now let
us estimate the population of our coun-
try Mt s., 100000 at the present time;
aAu su uPPosihSsi SIN PERSONS ON an average
to family, would make S,700, 600
families, and three papers to u family
on an average, yearly, would make
26, 100000 papels of pins used annually.
Now, IA rows to a paper would bring
800, 4OO, 900 rows! Again, 20 pins to the
row gives us 30S,O0O,0 900 pins "used
up'' in our country every year. Allowing
an inch as the average length of pins,
long and short, and they placed in a
continuous line, would reach COS. .OoO, 900
feet, or sc, ,909, 900. 1911 rods, or 115, $40.
1O-11 miles, which would reach more
than four and n half times around the
earth. Surely pins are very useful little
articles, and people could not we'll do

they want to(entend) any legitimate

at low rate of interest. There has been
a great deal said about the influx of
Northern and foreign capital to the
South, but there was none of it came
before thepeople of the Southern States
had begun to demonstrate that invest
ments here would pay. 1t is only u
few years since 1t wis impossible to

GUITEAU'S BONES.
Washington Correspondence.

washington Correspondence.
The work OF preparing the skeleton
Of the assassin Guiteau will probably
be completed, and the object placed on
exhibition in the Army Medical Muse
UNI by the 1st of next month. This de-
lay has been caused by the fact that but
one person could be trusted to perform
the duty, as the demand for ghastly
souvenirs of the assassin tempted the
other workmen to make away with
every portion that they lay their hands
on. One of the ears and numerous
muscles of the body were placed in oil
and taken off during the first two or
three days that the cadaver was exposed
in the museum, and the cofli n in which
the body was brought up from the Jail
has been completely demolished and
carried off. 1t turns out that DIR. Hicks,
the assassin's spiritual adviser, was
present when the grave in the Jail was
opened the night Of the Sd Of July, and
that he assisted to a certain extent in
the work. The box in which the coffin
was encased was replaced in the grave,
and earth piled and pounded down
upon it to ward off suspicion that its
contents had been tampered with. The
anatomist Of the Medical Museum, DIR.
L. L. Schafhirt, superintendeQ the
while Warden Crocker and his deputy,
Captain Russ, stood by with lanterns to
expedite the job. The stories about the
remains having been exposed upon the
roof of the Museum are denied by the
officials in charge, and your correspon-
dent was to-day shown the receptacle
of what remains of Charles Julius
Guiteau. On q small platform erected
outside of one OF the secOnd-Story back
windows of the Museum the bones lie
in promiscuous pile; bleaching in the
sun, and here it was stated they have
been for the past five weeks. They
are as white as ivory, and not joint
is missing so that when the process of
articulation is finished the skeleton
will be one of the most perfect in the
collection. Great care will be taken,
however, to prevent curiosity hunters
from stealing away the smaller bones,
and it is pprobable that Il strong glass
case will intervene between the public
and the skeleton.
