II the advocates Of a revolutionary change
in the manner of passing appropriations
really desire to forward the despatch Of
public business, they can reach their object
in simpler way. Let II be incorporated in
the rules OF the House that any amendment
to an appropriation bill, germans to the
particular clause, may be moved by a
committee having Jurisdiction of the subject
matter, and the House will then have
the whole business In the control at all
times of bare majority. There is little
danger that this power would be inadvert-
emily abused, since the Executive is now in
hands that can be trusted TO sign no bill
that would waste the public money. II the
House cannot trust itself to pass upon the
amounts and objects OF appropriation, and
continues the system Of con6ning itself to
pass upon no legislation in an appropriation
bill that changes existing law, except it
reduce expenditures, II makes no difference
what committees report the bills.

SKATING RINK CRAZE.

In the East the skating craze has
had long run, and its evil results
are seen on every hand in the broken
down physiques of young girls who
were frequenters Drinks. The press
and the medical profession of the me-
tropolis are waging hot war on the
institutions. Acting upon the adj
vice the better class of people have
withdrawn their patronage, and the
others are fast following suit. 1t has
been demonstrated that the dangers
to the female sex from all day use OF
the sewing-machine are insignificant
in comparison with the hazards OF
roller skating. There is eminent
medical testimony to the effect that
roller-skating is especially dangerous
to women and girls-especially to
girls approaching womanhood; that
women are not anatomically or phys
iologically fortified for the exercise
and that the danger to them is very
grave. Roller-skaters seldom indulge
in moderation. The stimulation 0.

HEARS THROUGH HER NOSE. -
Harrison Hahn, of Wind Gap, Pa, has
a two-year old daughter whose ears
are bent forward and grown fast to
the face. The girl was deformed
when born. When she became two
months old two doctors separated the
ears from the face and tied them back
to their proper place, but they re-
turned to their former position and
are there so remain undisturbed.
Both ears are without the orifce, but
deafness is prevented by the girl hear
ing every sound, no matter how light,
through her nose and mouth. She is
very bright girl, is very fond of mu-
sic, weighs only twenty pounds, is
healthy, and is Mr. Hahn's first and
only child, although he has been mar
ried fifteen years. Philadelphia

A FEW THOUGHTS.

EDITORS JoURNA1rPlease allow me q
small space in your paper to say few words
on the stock law My understanding is that
SIX months after district adopts it, every
one living within the bounds of that district
who has stock is compelled by law to keep
their stock fenced up or enclosed upon their
own premises; whether the district is fenced
or not, and in case the district is not fenced
stock coming in from an adjoining district
and doing damage to crops, etc, the owner
OF such crops SO damaged cannot recover
damages out ofthe owner of said stock.
Some forty, fifty or more farmers around
Powder Springs made up a club and order
ed 100 tons OF guano, and now some of the
cotton buyers of Powder Springs are dis
pleased about it and say they have these
farmers spotted and will not buy their
cotton next fall. What folly Have not
the farmers the same rights and liberties
they were born with Have the farmers
usurped any right Or privilege that did not
justly belong to them ? VIII some of these
cotton buyers give the journal a statement
OF the amount of cotton bought by them last
season outside Eyes, inside, too of their
guano and provision bills and the price paid
for it? | venture the assertion that either
one Of the firms of cotton buyers in Marietta
bought more cotton (and paid more for it,
than all the cotton buyers combined at Pow
der Springs. Let them furnish their neigh
bors the number of cotton bales that passed
directly through their town en- route to Ma
rietta Gentlemen, this kind of bragadocia
is all wrong 1t hurts the trade of Powder
Springs and is out of order, and 10 make it
plain, so plain that a wayfareing man though
fool cannot err therein, these farmers are
only exercising a right that these very cot
ton buyers claim and exercise every day of
their lives and consider legitimate bust
ness Somebody else is spotted, too.
What about that? Consistency thou art a
jewel
One word about our public roads. They
are generally in bad order | see | am
drawn as a member of the grand jury for the
first week and it is our imperative duty to
see after these roads and have them put in
good order, and unless they are found to be
in much better condition than they have been.
for some time back instead of reporting
them in the usual way lto-wit eve find the
public roads generally in good order with
few exceptions and we recommend the
Sroper authorities to have them put in rood
order at once we should recommend n
fine be placed on all delinquents. Commits
sioners ofroads should at once proceed to
have these roads put in good order and then
inspect them after Il washing rain and if
found IN good order all right but if not or
der them reworked and fail not to have the
last one in proper fix. know one or more
roads in Powder Springs district that have
not been worked in two years and one of
them did not even have any han Is on it.
This is unjust some people putting their
portions of public roads in proper fix and
Others doing but little or nothing to their
roads We all like good roads and for
one say let us have them.

SINGULAR SCENERY.

One of the most singular features
i'll the scenery of the territory of Ida
no is the occurrence of dark, rocky
chasms, into which creeks and large
streams suddenly disappear and are
never more seen. The assures are
old lava channels, produced by the
outside of the mass cooling and form
ing tube, which, when the fiery
stream was exhausted, has been left
empty, while the roof of the lava duct,
having at some point fallen ill.,. pres
ents there the opening into which the
river plunges and is lost. AT one
place along the Snake one of these
rivers appear gushing from a cleft
high up in basaltic walls, where it
leaps cataract into the torrent be-
low. Where this stream has its orig
in, or at what point it is swallowed
up, is absolutely unknown, although
il is believed that its sources are a
long way up in the North countries.

They have the finest mill and the
most approved machinery of any in

cts of slop from the Jail, and when
he got down the steps, although the

Ward made immediate pursuit, and
ran the fugitive until darkness pre-

cape. Mr.. Ward had collected, on
Saturday, a large amount of money.

unless they see themselves in glass
or are told of the fact, they are not
conscious of being frozen. Occasion
ally the part frozen will snap of, and
kittens and ponies ears often break

coated with ice, which must be brok-
