A story is told of girl who has
steady company in the person of a
young man who is forever and forever
a-kissing her. She likes a share of this
sort of sweetmeats, but quite frequently
it pals on her taste. He invited her to
ride the other moonlight night, and she
accepted, fully realizing that she would
be made the target CT no end of oscula-
tory practice. Out on the road, in the
moonlight. the young man handed her
the reins, placed his arms about her
waist and then drew near to her. She
said nothing. Handing back the lines,
from somewhere beneath her wrap she
drew out a base ball catcher's mask,
strapped it to her face and reached out
for the lines.

A Wild Stallion of the Plains,

The sunlight came playing through
the trees, and burned on his sorrel coat
like motion gold. The graceful body.
round and smooth, expanded where the
vast launches and sloping shoulders
set into it in welded masses of binding
muscle that stretched to the deer-like
limbs, with their clean knees and hooks,
each leg strung like a harp, with cords
of steel to the ivory bone. His flowing
name and tail seemed impatient to be
waving backward in the strong wind of
his racing galop. Though he stood
like bronze, with only the trumpet
nostrils working to catch the air, the
small head, white even to the eyes,
turned over his shoulder to survey the
intruders who had disturbed his water
ing place. There stood fhe
horse, keenly alive to his danger, nay,
even challenging it, for the ears laid
themselves slowly back-the eyes be-

Anti-Prohib1tiOn Eggs.
AN INGENIOUS DEVICE FOR EyADINGl
THE PROHIBITION LAW.

BosToN, july 27.-An ingenious way
of getting around the Prohibition law
in Rhode Island was discovered yester-
day. Several cases OF eggs were tipped
off truck by an accident on fremont
street. On picking up the eggs from
the street they We're found TO be made
OF porcelain, and instead of containing
the legitimate products of the barn
yard they were tilled with whisky, each
egg holding "good square drink" as
one OF the spectators expressed it. The
liquor was put in through hole in the
big end, and the hole stopped by ce-
ment cloth, which was chalked to re-
semble the natural color. The driver
of the team said he was taking them
from liquor dealer at the north end to
the Providence depot. The cases were
marked to hotels in Newport and Mar
Pier, r. L. There were two
cases, of forty-nine dozen each.

Baton Rouge Truth has the following
on the disreputable methods in vogue
in the late Legislature:
We have been on the ground since
the Legislature has been meeting in
Baton Rouge, and have attentively OBJ
served the tendencies of legislation, so
that we can claim some knowledge as
to the means which have been used to
defeat good legislation, and to foster
and promote the bad. The chief cause
lies in the disposition on the part of
some of the members, representing the
best elements of opinion, to gain a
spurious and temporary influence, by
combination with other members, who
care nothing for the great moral and
material interests of the people. In
this way confederacies have been form
ed for forwarding special measures, by
means of which important educational
interests have been sacrificed, and re-
pressive legislation, which should have
been directed against some of the most
glazing public evils, has been neglected.
The people are now forewarned and
they ought to be fOrearmed. Let them
scan the votes on every important meas
nre. Let them inquire WHO has voted,
and who has lodged. Let them scruti-
nize thoroughly the legislative history
OF the last two sessions, and then let
them prepare their ballots.

A lady who bad entered suit against
the Illinois Central Railroad for the
recovery of $4,000 for personal inju-
ries and loss of baggage sustained in
an accident on the road, has just been
ruled out of court. She acknowledged
that she was riding on pass at the
time of the accident, and the court
ruled that, as she had paid nothing
for her transportation she could not
collect damages"
This ought to be warning TO our
legislators, judges and other officials
who ride on free passes; the railroads
give them passes for services they may
render the railroads in their official ca
pacities, but the railroads in their Off
cial capacities, but the railroads are not
liable to them for damages when they
ride on passes.

The Census.

We can but believe that the fail
ure of the last General Assembly
to provide for an enumeration of
the population was due in a large
measure to prejudice. The fun
damental principle Of our form of
government is that all sovereignty
is in the people, and the popular
branch of the Legislature shall be
made up in proportion to the pupu-
latiOn Of the several election dis
tricts. The Federal Government
makes an enumeration Of the peo-
pie every ten years, and Congress
promptly apportions representa-
ton among the States according to
their population. The State Con-
stitution makes similar provision
for the reason that in ten years the
population of some sections in
creases, while in others there may
be a corresponding decrease. The
new apportionment every tenth
wear remedies inequalities in rep
resentation. This is just, We
have small regard for the states
manship of those who deny the
people their constitutional right,
indeed, O right that exists indie
nendent of the Constitution.
1t is not u province to watch the
working of the brain of those great
statesmen who profess such a pro-
found regard for their Constitu-
t,onai duties when the question of
tuition fees In the South Carolina
