the day the Executive Committee

til l met him in Baton Rouge on the
morning the Legislature met.
I went down with Hon. j. G.

last House of Representatives that
there was several clerks employed
in the House, and by different com
mittees, l write for information.
Please let me know how many are
employed by the House and com
mittees, and what pay they get. II

position that will pay me even ex-
penses, as l am not at present in
any business, I think / will try and

me a good chance to learn some,
thing Of the workings of Legislative

oGDEN's ANSWER.
BENTON, La, April z, 1884.
MR.. w. B. BoGGs-My Dear
Friend: Yours making inquiry as
to number OF employees in the way
Of assistant clerks, clerks of com.
mittees, &C., is at hand.
The chief clerk has an assistant
clerk and q minute clerk at the desk
With him. The enrolling clerk is
under orders of the chief clerk and
has several assistants when neces
sary. Only about four committees
in the House are allowed clerks
to-wit: Ways and Means, Judiciary,
Appropriations, and sometimes one
or other of committees, that get be-
hind with their work. The pay of
clerks 10 o. to s5 per day-except
chief clerk and two or three men,
toned above, whose duties are more
responsible and complicated-who
get about S6 per day.
Should you desire, I will serve
you 10 any way I can, as it would
certainly be pleasure to give you
any assistance in my power.
Let me know before 60 off, 80 if
I can secure you a place if it can be
done.
Sincerely your friend,
81. w. OGDEN.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Street Railway vs. Helm and wife,
from Bexar county. The statement OF
the cause OF action and nature OF de.
tense made by the court was correct rs
far as it went, but not full. Still. in
falling to ask charge giving a fuller
statement, appellant cannot be heard
to complain. II, In the opinion Of APP
pellant, the charge Of the court on the
Question OF measure OF damages was
not specific enough, IL should have
asked a proper charge. In actions to
recover money which will be commu-
nifty property when realized, the wife
is not ordinarily nessessary or
proper party, but in this case no Oh.

her husband as plaintiff, and 1t can
not be raised in this court for the first

ruling that Judgment should be re-
versed; this should be done only in
those cases in which the opposite party
has probably been Injured by the err
roneous ruling. Affirmed.

Weekly Report Of Cen. Grants Doctors.
The New York Medical Record Of Last Sat-
urday says: The physical condition OF Gen.
Grant has markedly improved during the past
week There is no authority for the statement
that his physicians At any time prognos-
ticated speedy death, or did not give the most
encouraging reports. II has been charged that
tho phyHicians were suppressing all reference to
sgraver symptoms. The bulletins which have
been issued at the request Of the family of Gen.
Grant, and in answer to the demands Of the
press, have been simply bare statements OF the
exact condition ct the time without theories or
comments. The medical staff has always main
tanned that the amount OF general constitutional
depression was out Of proportion to tho extent
of the local disease; that tho latter would not
OF itself be the cause OF death unless
by accidental erasion OF q large artery, or
ration OF the slough. At one tlmo only did death
seem imminent from exhaustion and threatened
heart failure, and but for timely assistance
would probably have occurred. TIE general
has never been in any danger from choking,
and the only hemorrage which occurred was Of
slight extent and closed Of itself. Gen. Grant is
now stronger. It was what might hace been ex-
pected, and all treatment has been directed to
that end The slough has nearly separated
from the throat, and source of immediate
danger has been improved, but the throat dis
ease is still there, although for the present it
is quiescent There has not been the slightest
disagreement in regard to the management of
the case. The microscopic examination Of the
specimen removed from Gen. Grants throat
has disclosed the disease to be epitb1loma.

A DR.. Bournet's recent work on crime
i'll France and Italy seems to show that,
in France, crimes against the person are
Increasing somewhat, while those
against property are diminishing.
In Italy "crimes of the blood" are
three times more numerous than in
France, and murder is six times more
frequent. Assassination is slightly in
creasing in France. In Italy the num-
Der of PARTICLES is about double that
in France. In both countries there is a
notable diminution in criminal poision-
ing. Attempts against chastity are
much less frequent in Italy, and in
France these "crimes against children
augment in frightful proportions" In
