THE GAS DEAL SETTLED.
The Constitutional Question Provided
for in the Lease.

The constitutional Question Provided
for in the Lease.
The break in the gas deal has been
blidged over, and the lease of the old
company's works has been altered so as
to eyade the prOhibitory clause in the
State constitution to which the NEWS re-
terred some time ago and which virtually
annuled the lease as it then stoAd.
President Blum Of the new company and
Capt. j. NJ. GuerTard of the old company
have been in Philadelphia in conference
with the attorneys of the Mutual Com
panY during the past week, and have sue
ceeded in arranging the matter satisfac-
tOrily. The papers have all been
signed and were received in SaYan-
yah yesterday. Messrs. Blum and
Guerard are yet in Philadelphia, but will
reach here some time this week.
Under the new arrangement the old
company will continue to supply gas as
at present until July l, when
the new company expects to
have its process of manufacture
ready to introduce into the old works.
The connection of the two works was
completed yesterday morning, and every
thing is ready, when the process of manu-
facture is changed, to supply the city
with water gas.
The hitch which the discovery of the
prohibitOry clause in the constitution
caused is not yet in the minds of those
who have looked into the matter fully
done away with, and it is predicted that
there may be trouble yet. The attorneys
of both companies, however, are satisfied
with the arrangement, and there is very
little likelihood that any differences will
arise. The matter is generally looked
uDOn as settled.

The Canlns Id Mohila.

The arrangements for the approaching
Interstate encampment and drill at Mo-
bile are watched with deep interest by
the military throughout the South, and
especially by the companies which will
participate in the drill. The Mobile Reg
lister, in describing the camping grounds,
says the infantry camp, situated about a
quarter of a mile to the southwest of the
drill grounds, and running due north and
south, covers a space Of 1872 by nearly 1900
feet. The land has been partially cleared
and leveled, and flOorings for go tents
LAID. The plan of the camp embraces an
immense parallelOgram, the tents being
placed in groups Of twelve, and so ar
ranged as to provide for a street % feet in
width between each set OF quarters. Fac
ing the several groups and placed in one
long line, with a 30.fOot street interven-
ing, are the officers tents, two in group,
facing down each camp avenue. The
tents are each 10 by II feet at the base
and capable of accommodating six men
comfortably, though it is probable only
four will be CHARTERED in each. A requi.
site number Of tents will be allotted to the
artillery and the genteral officers quar-.
ters.
The artillery park is 81 by 800 feet, and
VIII be occupied by % tents, the plan o.
the ground being much the same as thai
prepared for the infantry camp.

on Friday by the report that the pilot boat
Peerless, of that port, had probably
gone down IN the gale Of Saturday last,
as no tidings had been received Of her

Jr., was telegraphed from this city that
the Peerless WAS at Tybee-all on board
well. She returned to Charleston on Fri.
day night.

The SenatO $ lip.

The election of a state Senator to fill Attorney General Garland's unexpired term, is now going on in the Legislature. The list ballot was cast Tuesday. and the result stood as follows between the four principal contestants: Berry, 38; Dunn, 3G; Newton, II; Fishback, II.
 The Globe-Democrat of St. Louis the 10th, published some damaging facts as to an attempt at bribery by Whitaker, Dunn's son in.law in the race against Jones and Berry, that will very likely de- feat him. In an interview with Senator Waller, that paper said Whitaker had offered S300 for the vote of colorcd member, Brooks of Lafayette county, the money was put up as proven by number of witnessee. So this will likely kill off Dunn, though he denied any knowledge of the attempt at bribery for votes for himself.
 Itis quite likely that Bob Newton will be the successful man, or Ii not Gov. Berry will come in. We hope the contest will not be a protracted one.

Drops From Different Heart Wells.

"Yes," said the teacher, "we have a great deal of worry and trouble and heartache. Some times we can not sleep because we dread the morrow, but where there is one to hate and worry us there are thirty or forty to love us.
 Teacher. "It looks as if you did this, Charley"
 "Yes, ma'am, but l didn't.n
 ''I am sure your father will think so.'
 Yes'm, bat mother won't"
 Says wife: "If I will prom ise to give him up, to quit hoping that he will come back to me, they will give me and my chil- dren a home, but l will drop dead in the lowest paths of drudgery rather than accept anything from them on these conditions"
 "YoG want to take her down, do you'" asked Mrs. Spice. "Well, just give her to understand that your baby is prettier than hers, that your husband calls you pet, keeps you supplied with more change than you wish to spend !, and never cares to go anywhere unless you will go with him. l tell you that big new house won't hold her misery"
 Said woman who was evidently drinking the lees of life: If a man loves you never tell 1t to a vain woman. Her vanity will prompt her to test her power over your own; if she wins she destroys your peace, for she will let you know it, whether she cares for the man or not. If she fails she will hurt you in some way for pure spite" "
 Thus spoke Madam Sensible, "If you want your lord to think you a good-enough, common-sense sort of wife, do all the drudgery you can find to do. and never say,I I am so tired If you want him to love you, do as much of your house hold labor as you are able to do, find out all his cares, give him your sympathy, and demand his as a natural right. Do not whine, or bout, or cry for it-but remem Der that God has made 1t impossi- ble for a man to appreciate all your sufferings."
 My heart was a cage" said a proud, passionate man, "into winch nuttered many beautful birds. shut the door and kept jealous watch over it, but the clam my hand of cold distrust came and beckoned them away. l longed to have them stay and sing fo me through all the coming years, but, finding that I could not keep them. l opened wide the door and they are all gone save n few of the sweetest singers. Sometimes when they sing together l forget those that have flown away, and I believe the time will come when the vacancy will be filled by the music remaining.
