From analysis the ash of the plant
is found to contain an unusual guam
titv Of Dhosphoric acid, aud hence the
exEansting power of the crop can
readily be understood.
When fax is stepped in stagnant
pools or sluggish streams, the water
acquires a darkish hue, and a diss-
greeable odor arises from the solution
of the glutinous matter which cements
together the true fbers Of the plant.
In examining the steep water, dried
down at a temperature Of 212o, one
portion of the extract thus attained
was reduced to ashes, and the other
reserved entire. Below are the results
of the ANALYSIS.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
VASE EGToN. Ian % 1SSS

WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1886,
With discussions in the Senate nc
art, Dakota, the electoral count, and in
the House agitation of the silver ques.
ton, the Pan-Electric tin thunder
and several personal encounters
among members, 1t would seem that
our lawmakers are busy. Yet the
complaint is that they are only vast
ing time as usual.
The House is always asking for
some Investigation Or explanation. Its
latest important demonstration is
against silver. In a test vote on We'd
nesday there was decided opposition
to the Administrations financial poll
cy, and the secretary of the treasury
will be asked to outline to the House
of representatives his future policy
on the silver question.
A representative democrat who
thought the House was going too far
in demanding the Secretary to state
his future intentions said, 1T is pref
ty hard on the President The SEN
ate wants to know his reasons for
everything he has done in the past
and everything he is doing now, and
the House demands his intentions and
promises for the future.
The cabinet officers so far have
been requested to furnish the Senate
with information bearing on removed
officials. The Attorney General re-
fused to furnish them. Secretary
Manning of the treasury has drafted
a letter Of refusal which will have
been sent to the Senate ERE this
reaches you, and Secretary Lamar of
the interior will doubtless proceed in
the same way.

According to the Investigations of
Sir Robert Kane, of Dublin, the fiber,
which alternately is converted into
linen yarn, is composed mainly OF the
same eiiments combined in nearly the
same proportions as sugar and starch.
| Omitting certain minute differences
between the true fiber and the natter
which occupies It's cells, the comblna-
ton is as follows:
Per cent.
| Carbon $3.50.

loo.co.
Therefore, the fibre, which constl-
tutes the moneyed value of the flax
crop, excepting the seed, is produced
during the growth Of the plant by the
elements of the atmosphere; and the
materials taken from the land are IN
reality employed by the plant in OF
ganizing substances which give no
return to the farmer, but which,
on the contrary, under certain circum-
stances, are considered positively to
be a disadvantage It, therefore,
should be understood that. by a pro-
per system, the growth Of fax should
be void of all exhausting influences;
and that the substances drawn from
the soil by this crop should be found
in the waste products Of its manufac-
ture. which should be made available
by being returned to the land to en-
able 1t to maintain its fertility.
For the purpose Of as%certaining
what takes place during the sleeping
Of fax. DR.. Kane conducted a series
OF examinations on the substances as
well as the process. the general results
Of which are as follows:

amount Of leaves and immature cap
sules, gave Of

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Matters Discussed at the FsbruRr,
Meeting-Jurors' Fees.

Matters Discussed at the February
Meeting-JurOrs' Fees.
The Board Of County Commissioners
held lengthy session yesterday morning.
Various matters relating to the county's
interests were discussed.
The payment Of City and Superior
Court jurors fees was considered at some
length. The jury lists and accounts are
approved and forwarded TO the County
Commissioners by the clerk OF the court
Tor which the jury is summoned. Hereto
fore the lists have not been forwarded
until the adjournment of the term. The
accounts are then examined and audited
by the Finance Committee before they
are passed by the board. Jurors
are thus compelled 10 Waif three
and four months, and frequently longer,
for their pay. In very many Instances
men who are summoned for jury duty are
laDOsing men. They are compelled To lose
their wages while engaged in jury work,
and the Withholding for several months,
and perhaps longer, Of the fees due them
Is often hardship. In many instances
they are compelled TO dispose OF their
scrip at a large discount to spectators
and brokers. This they can lily afford 10
do. Several communications were re-
ceived In regard 10 the matter.
Commissioner Estill offered resolu-
tiOn directing that the jury lists be for
warded 10 the Finance Committee so that
the accounts can be passed monthly. This
will do away with the injustice Of com-
pelling jurors TO wait until the final adj
Journment Of court, and frequently longer,
Tor their pay.
A petition was received from the resi-
dents Of White Bluff asking that the
ponds and bitches In that vicinity be
drained. The importance Of the work was
urged BY the petitioners. Upon motion
OF Commissioner Estill the matter was re-
iorred 10 the c0mmittee In charge OF The
convict force with the request that the
work be done as soon as possible.
The matter Of holding an election for

INSANE MEN AT LARGE.

What the Governor Ssys About the In
sane Asylum A latter.
Considerable excitement was caused on
the Bay yesterday shortly before noon by
the actions Of William Rankin, who is in
sane. He carried a gun with both ham
mers cooked and aimed at two gentlemen
at close range. The supposition was that
the gun was loaded, although no one at
tempted to investigate. At the
time Rankin was cunning on
Bay street the County Commissioners
were considering his case. The Sheriff
was instructed to take the unfortunate
man into custody TO prevent him from
harming citizens. In the afternoon an
officer attempted to arrest Rankin, but
gave 1t up when he drew knife. He will
probably be taken in charge to-day.
About month ago he was released from
the Milledgeville asylum.
There are several cases similar to Rank
ms. The asylum authorities some time
ago released and sent back to
Savannah number of dangerous
lunatics. The Governor was written to
in regard to the matter, and replied that
while 1t became necessity TO discharge
from the asylum idiots aud imheciles who
are considered harmless, to make room for
the care Ofurgent cases, IL was not intend
ed that auv should be discharged who
are not harmless, and IL q mistake has
been made IN regard to any particular
cases, be had no doubt that upon proper
representation to the authorities the pa
TENTS would be received back into the

John t. Raymond in 'The Magistrate
Tonight.
Savannah's favorite comedian, John T.
Raymond, will appear at the theatre 20
night as "Fneas Posket" in his new
play, 1.-The Magistrate" Mr.. Raymond
has tried many pieces since "Colonel
Sellers" but he has found no comic mas
terpiece, and ''rhe Magistrate" it is said,
is likely TO serve him better than any play
he has tried in several years. The dialogue
flashes with a wit keener and more re-
fined than any comedy has possessed since
ByrOn's "Our Boys"
The piece is said to be uproariously
funny, and, at the same time, clean and
refined from beginning to end. Ludicrous
scenes and complications follow each
other with surprising rapidity and effect,
and the 2uditor is either constantly laugh
ing or on the broad grin. A leading New
York critic says that RAYMOND has never
done mole cOmical or more artistic acting
than in the role OF ".fneas POsket," the
Police Magistrate. This personatlon diff
fers radically from any other he has given,
and striking difference IN makeup is TO
be noticed. The sale Of seats indicates a
full house.
