HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The Senate amendments 20 the general
appropriation bill caused quite debate.
The first fight occurred on the University
section of the bill. The appropriation
had been raised in the Senate from 3d.
600 to 81, 900, and the shirnlish was
opened by Dr.. Pope. who, as usual, eN-
pressed the hope that the House would
not caucus. He regarded it rs singular
that this increase was not asked for until
the bill had reached the Senate.
Nh. Hutson, chairman OF the educa-
ton committee, and Mr.. Fickcn, acting
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, explained this omission. The
House refused to agree to the amend
ment.
The next amendment was the tuition
rider tackled on 10 the section by the
Senate and embracing substantially the
provisions OF the tuition bill passed by
that body. The House unanimously re-
fused to concur.
It also refused TO concur in the amend
ment striking out the $4,000 appropri-
atcd for the completion Of the central
building of the Penitentiary.
THIN the Canal rider was reached, AZ
amendment appropriating 5000 ior the
work on the Canal, mainly to furnish
water power to the penitentiauy. This
reopened the Canal debate, IL which !;
dozen or more members took part. Col.
Thomas. Of Richland, made an earnest
but brief appeal. tie said he supposed
the members would vote as their convic-
tions dictated He hoped, however,
they would vote TO concur IL this amend
ment, ii for no other reason than 10 6 i've
the Richland delegation the consolation
OF having done something for Columbia.
Nj. Davenport, OF Greenvillc, opposed
this appropriation. III. Davenport made
the assertion that 1ine-tenths OF the
members OF the House were unable to
pay their Just debts. They must not,
because they were here in Columbia
living like rich men, for what they were.
Every year these appropriations had tc
be made. II members continued voting
appropriations this way they woUlo vote
the shirts off their backs.
Alter discussing the matter for an houl
2Ir. Cappelman called the previous CUES
tion, which ended the debate IT'hc
House, without !. division, refused to
concur in the amendment.
AZ theamendments in reference TO the
Lunatic Asylum were agreed to, except
that reducing the per diem OF tl!c .c,
gents.

IN \ PRIMITIVE CABIN.
What Constitutes a Wedding in the MouN<
tains OF West Virginia.
(Fron the WiniclI, ". Va

(From the Winfield, ". Va. Letter.
After q silence of a few minutes, in
which the old fellow had stared at me to
his content and sized me up from head
to foot, he suddenly bursted out:
stranger, is you married?" Being an
swered in the negative his roomy and
capacious mouth broadened into a grin
and said: "Wal!, while you is out in
this country you oughter hunt up gal
and git married, and then turning to
great buxom lass who would tip the
scales at 175 and 16 years old (his hired
girl) he continued: ssNow, that is Arm.
She wants to get married the wuss kind,
and if y'al can make it up, guess I can
scrape round and git some flour, kill a
chicken, churn and give you weddin, "
and your correspondent thought that if
he was looking tor physical strength and
development, he couldn't do better.
When bed time came was advised to
ssshen off," which, to my surprise, I
had to do before the family, consisting
of the old man and wife, ten children "a
small crop for this part of the country,)
and the fair Ann; so, with my face
lovely crimson, I shelled off. Pretty
soon all the family followed my exam
pie From the log rafters of the one
room house, in which the family ate,
slept, cooked and did everything else,
there hung large festoons Of dried
pumpkins, apples, dried and strung, the
clothes of the whole family, pieces of
pork, and endless other things for CON-
fort and winter consumption.
On the table, three times day, we
got invariably fried pork, sweet potatoes,
coffee minus sugar. and forever and
eternally Johnny constant Or corn
bread, and, I may add, buttermilk.
House after house we stopped at, and it
was always the same-nothing of the
comforts of life.
These are fine counties for coal and
timber. Thousands Of large logs are
hauled TO the banks Of Coal river ready
for rise, and boom is being built to
catch the logs.

Last night, the grim destroyer invad-
ed the happy home of Mr.. and Mrs. J.F.
Ganschow of West McCook and stole
away its brightest, most highly treasured
ornament, their beloved little boy of
two or three summers. The little one
was taken sick, Monday morning, with
cholera ~infantum, which, together with a
a lung complication, despite the greatest
efforts of professional skill, in a few
hours transplanted the dear one from
this to a brighter world beyond, where
sickness and sorrow are unknown. The
stricken parents have the heartfelt sym
pathy of all in their sad bereavement.
The funeral will take place, tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock, mountain time.

of the appearance of a Matchmaking
