The Ohio State Journal gives some very
funny extracts from letters received by
legislaton from jealous constituents. The
following are samples:
Legislators receive some funny cOmmmu-
nicatiOns. Hon. j. j. Stranahan, of Guy
ahoga county, early this week introduced q
bill providing for the establishment of q
whipping post for the punishment of wife
beaters. He has received since then a
postal card from John S. PrOthers, an in
mate of the Central Insane asylum. who
writes: "A bill for wife-beaters tO be
whipped by their women, That settles it.

Hon. George W. Washburn. of Lorain
county, has in his possession q liquor bill
which was sent to him for introduction in
the Legislature by one Of his Oberlin con-
stituents. The bill provides that no man
can get drink of Intoxicating liquor in
the state of Ohio unless he irst goes be
fore the probate court and makes oath
that he desires to become . habitual
drinker. Then on payment of fifty cents
he gets . license to drink. which must he
shown to the bartender every time he gets a
drink of liquor Of any kind. Travelling
men can get drink by swearing before
notary public that they are habitial drink

ki.x Milan,. Coat Of M.il.


When Servia first began to ferment
dark rumors were heard that King Milan
was constantly in dread of assassination,
and that ne had taken to wearing coat
Of mail next his royal skin. Whether
the king fears assassination or not il
seems to be perfectly true that he wears
armor, for some interesting particulars
thereto regarding have been obtained
from the Vienna firm which manufact-
ured il. The coat of mail is hardly what
. Norman warrior would have under
stood by the phrase. Next the body it Is
Of the softest silk. Over this is thick,
tightly compressed layer of elder down,
upon which again is a layer Of wadding;
the outer surface is Of the toughest leath-
er. This armor reaches from the neck to
the knees, and covers the arms as far as
the elbows. The cost of King Milan's
dagger and bullet proof case was sJ0.
which seems to be remarkably cheap. II
is no doubt very comfortable weae in
winter, but it would be an mconvehient
attire for summer campaign

A Coincidence 1t the Inaugural.

Speaking Of John Sherman's position a
ex-officio vice president, it q curious CO.
incidence that at the last inauguration he
was the second to take President Cleve-
lands hand. President Arthur shook it
first, just as he turned about and after
finishing his inaugural, and the next man
to step up was Sherman, Of Ohio. Had
there been . vice president, he would
naturally have come behind Arthur But
there was none, and senator Sherman
happened to be the man to take his
place.-"Carp" in Cleveland Leader.
