TIE AVERAGE LEGISLATOR.

On two days Of the week, Monday S
and Saturdays, there is hardly a quo
rum for the transaction of business IN
either branch of the General Assem-
bly,. The members, with two honor.
able exceptions, have their pockets
illcd with railroad passes and they
can not forego the temptation to use
them, so away they go to Louisville,
Cincinnati and where not, when il
they had to pay for their own fare
I ey would stay and attend to t. a
busines for which they were elected
The average legislator would be a
mighty small individual without his
free pass, he thinks, while everybody
else is of the opinion that with one he
is n bribe-taker, unfit to deel fairly
between the Commonwealth and the
railroads. In the election of repre-
senttives hereafter this question
ought to be one of the issues and no
man should be elected who will net
pledge himself to refuse all such
overtures from railroads or other
corporations. The enormous mileage
of l5 cents ought to be sufficient for
the transportation of our law-makers
and it ought to put them above
accepting passes for which they can
only return quid pro quo in favora-
bic legislation, Interior Journal.

SAVED By A KISS.

ga kiss saved me-" Immediately
every face bent toward. Richly, dain-
tily-clad women and moneyed men filled
the spacious room, but the silence that
followed could be felt, SO eager were they
to catch every word.
Some one had spoken lightly Of the
trifes that so surely make up the sum Of
happiness or woe. Trifes count for
nothing they thought; it is the great
events that determine the destinies Of
men for good Or i'll. Itwas this that
had drawn forth the statement and the
explanation that followed.

ment, I may or may not have had my

knew Of myself.

March winds were blowing, leaving no
choice, except the sunniest side of the
dismal street in which we found shelter.

A SNAKE STORY:

To get snake out Of bottle is q to-
dious job; in whatever position it is
turned, the head will be directed up
ward, 80 that the only way to induce
him to come out is to place the bottle
upright or nearly SO /; even then the
head is withdrawn on the slightesr
alram and the position is by no means
favorable to its transference to box. II
the door or opening Of the latter will
admit OF it, the best plan is to put the
bottle uncorked into the box, and let the
snake crawl out at its leisure, first
checking of" the bottle with wedge
OF paper or wood, lest it should roll over
on the reptile, and fastening a string to
it in order that it may be removed with
out difficulty at the earliest possible op-
portunity.
One OF the most poisonous snakes I
ever possessed was brought to me in a
brandy bottle. and, after twisting, and
shaking, and tapping it for an hour
without avail, grew impatient. The
tail just then happened to protrude
about half an inch, so I seized it with
my fingers, and, rapidly drawing the
body through the other hand, had the
reptile safely in my grip behind his
death-dealing jaws, now distended with
anger. But the slide Of my snake-box
was shut over, and I could not draw it
back with one hand; so I was obliged
to let him slip back into the bottle
again. Having set the box all in order
for the newcomers reception, once
more essayedtola hold of him by the tail
but now, most provokingly, no amount
OF maneuvering would bring that useful
member to the top. Another half-honr's
unsuccessful angling converted my i'm
patience into desperation, and atlength,
when I saw the tail about two inches
from the mouth Of the bottle, I stuck
my fore-Anger in recklessly to try to So
cure it.

WHY IRELAND WEARS THE GREEN.

WIZ IRELAND WEARS THE GREEN.
In your note on the Order of st. Pat.
rick you suggest that the existing blue
ribbon should be changed for q green
one, on the ground that such an altera-
ton would be we'll received by hishmen.
Will you allow me to point out that this
suggestion arises from totally-unfound-
ed, though very common, belief that
green is the national color of Ireland ?
The truth, however, is that green was
never heard OF as national or party color
till ITS, when the United Irishmen
adopted it for the following reason !:
The ancient flag of Ireland was golden
harp on dark blue ground, as now de-
picted or emblazoned in the Irish quar-
ter, the third Of the royal standard, and
the Revolutionary leaders being anxious
to unite together all classes of IrisLmen.
being in that respect the exact converse
OF the present agitators, and to join the
Orangemen to the rest OF their fellow
countrymen, adopted green as their dis.
tinguishing color, which is of course
produced by mixing together gold and
blue. At the time, therefore, of the in
stitution of the Order of ST. Patrick in
1873, the only and undoubted national
color was dark blue, and that would
probably have been the color Of the
ribbon but that it had already been ap-
propriated by the Order Of the Garter.
which was originally light blue, but had
been altered by the Hanoverian mon
archs to its present color to distinguish
their knights from those whom the two
Pretenders continued to invest with the
old light-blue ribbon. (Hence, by the
way, the expression "True blue. "
Under these circumstances it was oriQi.
naily proposed that the st. Patrick rib
bon should be orange, but, as this would
have sayored too much Of party, It was
ultimately determined that it should be
the old color Of the Garter---light blue.

the admirable serial, "The Shores OF
