A DAUGHTER of Ex-Secretary Eyarts
made herself favorite in Washington
society not alone by her snowy complexion,
gray-blue eyes and golden hair, but as we'll
by her cups OF chocolate The Mexican
Minister used to say that in his own land
no beverage was so delicious It was made of
the best already sweetened chocolate, broken
apd placed in warm spot to melt When
afterward put into a farina kettle, boiling
milk was poured upon it, and from the
moment when the first drop of milk touch
ed it until it was done it was stirred 1t
was allowed 20 boil for several minutes,
and when il was served in delicate cups it
was thick and almost Jelly like, and was
capped with whipped cream. This is the
way that Bakers vanilla chocolate should
always be prepared.

1t Is only few years since Messrs a.IsSstf
Sibey & Co. were known at all in q
business, but in those few years they ha<s,
advanced with such wonderful rapidity that
they are now universally recognized as
leading seedsmen. Their warehouse at
Rochester is mammoth building, nine
stories high, while in Chicago they occupy
a Ave story building, and have no rooms to
spare Mr.. Sbley Is widely known as
proprietor of the 10000 acre Sulivant
Farm in Illinois, the largest cultivated
farm in the world Here over 1900 acres
were last year devoted to seed raising.
Just now the firm are specially desi rous
of obtaining all information calculated to

inevitable result of arrangement of a function

Railroad Bill.
Mr.. Howry argued the merits of the bill,
addressing himself TO the legal points in
volved. He opposed the re-commitment of
the bill The House was as ready now as
at any time to determine the matter after
the long discussion had He desired to dis
pose of the matter and go to something else
He said that he had no hostility to rail
roads. He desired to be just to all men,
corporations included. The railroad prob
lem was one that had puzzled the minds of
the ablest men in the country That there
were two sides to the question no one would
deny. The people had made a demand
which the speaker considered reasonable.
He had no false sentiment on these de-
mands. Popular clamOr was one thing.
But public sentiment based on reason was
another. There was public sentiment in
favor of regulating the freights, fares and
tariffs of railroads, in this State. That sem
tinent had found expression in the conven-
tons of the dominant political party, and Of
all parties. As an experiment he found the
principles Of the bill within constitutional
limits. The speaker thought, however, that
none of the provisions of the bill
should apply to railroads in process
of construction, or to those to be chartered,
until their completion. Railroads never
paid anything in first hands. Neither was
he in favor of anything except that which
would prevent extortion and unjust dis.
elimination among shippers, He doubted
the legality of the clause which gave to the
proposed Commission the right to make
rules and regulations having the binding
force of law. The roads should have the
right of appeal to the courts as in England.
But as an experiment he would resolve the
doubt in favor of the people, if the bill
could not be amended in that regard. If
the law failed of its purpose it could be re-
pealed aud would be. The speaker said the
friends of the measure could not afford to
divide now on minor propositions. He
then replied at length to the arguments of
the opposition, citing the opinion of Judge
Black, the cases of Mum against Illinois.
and the five Granger cases decided
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States, illustrating his opinion of the
law of the case and showing the
Constitulionality of the Commission.
He quoted from various authors and fsln
those opposed to legislation of this kind.
And deduced the propositions that the State
the Eight of police power, the right
Of eminent domain and the taxing power
unless conferred and given away in express
terms by the charter itself He claimed
that the State reserved the righs TO compel
all carriers to keep within the limitation Of
tariffs.

Death of the Sister Of Lt-GOT. Stands.
Senatobia Express.
1t is with deepest sadness that we chroni-
Gle the death of Miss Ada Stands, which
occurred in marlborough, Mississippi,
on Thursday the 10th instant, at 10 o'clock,
PM She was bright, sweet orphaned
girl of sixteen summers, and seemed but
child, when God took her home to her loved
parents Disease fixed itself upon her
many months ago, and her young life wasted
away little by little, till it went out amid
the flowers of the Sunny Southland. Yes,
she died among the flowers, and when she
was brought home her former companions
seemed to vie with each other in strewing
flowers above her grave. The funeral ser
vices were held in the Methodist church
which was filled by friends who had come to
pay their last respects TWAS touching, in
deed, to see the grief of some Of Miss Ada's
companions, and while it may be said that
there are no roses that are so beautiful as
those that bloom upon the orphans cheek,
no music so melodions as the widows voice,
certainly there is no jewel that sparkles like
the tear of friendship. As We saw the
Young body lowered in the cold grave at
Bethesda Cemetery, We could but recall the
lines of anothers
Sleep softly in dust,
Wait the Almighty's will,
Then rise, unchanged,
And be an angel still.
