CONGRESSMAN ON HAND.
Allison on Every Slate for Cabinet
Position.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-There was a
noticeable increase to-day in the number OF
congressman about the capitol, but great
preponderance of the number naturally was
on the House side
Senator Allison was the principal arri-
val at the north end of the building. He
had come direct from indianapolis, where he
had an interview with Presdent-elect Har-
rlson, but nothing was to be learned from
him about those subjects upon which he
could speak with most interest to politicians
and public men. He is ON every slate for
a cabinet position, and Representative
Henderson of his state is quoted as saying
that Senator Allison will not accept any
other portfolio that that of the treasury.
THE HOUSE WING.
The House wing of the capital was I'M
usually quiet to-day, the chamber being oc-
cupied only by few, dozen or more, en-
ployes figuring up the political complexion
of the new House, and a small number Of
republican congressman exchanging con-
gratulations upon the result of the recent
election.
In the office of the clerk of the House there
was a small gathering of democratic mem
bers, including Messrs. Mills, McMillin and
Springer, who passed away the time in an
informal chat over thee situation, but in the
absence of Speaker Carlisle, who will ar
rive in the city tomorrow, there is no for
NAL agreement as to what attitude the dem
ocratic members should assume in regard to
pending legislation at the approaching ses-
sion.
APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The members of the House committee on
appropriations we're busy in completing the
consideration of the District Of Columbia
appropriation bill, and expect TO have it
ready for report to the house during the
coming week.
The sundry civil bill is also we'll under
way. The other committees having appro-
priation bills in charge have not yet started
to work, but as these measures will in the
main be practically copies Of the appropria-
ton bills for the current yeaI ;sthere Ia no
reason to apprehend much delay in their
preparation.

BLOW TO BOND BUYERS.
A Million in Township Paper Said to
be Illegal

COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. S0.-The
state supreme court to-day rendered
a decision which has knocked tho bottom
out of about 100000 of township
bonds issued in this state in aid Of the
building of railroads.
For the past five or six years numerous
railroad projects have been started in this
state and several new lines have been either
completed or commenced. 1t is usual in
granting charters to these roads to in
clude section in the act,
giving to townships in the several counties
through which the proposed road is to run
corporate powers to issue bonds to aid in the
construction Of the roads, the taxpayers
voting a specified tax TO meet the interest
and principal of the bonds issued. The suit,
which was decided to-day, was commenced
i'll Abbeville county.
A PROTEST.
The tax payers in a township in that
county paid their railroad dues under pro-
test, and brought suit against the county
treasurer to test the constitutionality of the
tax. The circuit court decided that the act
in question was unconstitutional, and the
case was carried to the supreme court,
which to-day sustained the decision of the
circuit court. The decision was, however,
little mixed The chief justice decides
that the townships are not vested with COR
porate powers by the act in question. AS
sociate Justice McIver sustaiDs two of the
grounds Of unconstitutiouality and Asso-
ciate Justice MCGOWAN dissents from both.
THE AMOUNT AT STAKE.
The exact amount of the bonds affected
by this decision cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned as yet. 1t is said however. to amount
TO about 81, 900, 600 and to include bonds OF
the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago; the
Cumberland Gap; the Carolina, Knoxville
and Western, and the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens railroads, and perhaps several
others. A large amount Of these bonds are
held by persons at the county seats Of the
various townships which issued the bonds,
and others are held by the banks in
Charleston, Columbia, Augusta. in several
interior towns and a considerable amount
in northern trade centers. The announce
ment Of the decision has caused consider
cradle stir in financial and railroad circles.

WASHING TOM Nov. 30.-The story that
the President and Mrs Cleveland have de-

disbursements have been unusually large

monthly reduction. There is, of course, no
actual increase in the debt itself, but merely
a reduction of ccsh in the treasury avaiIa-

All IS Not Gold, Etc.

When we read of the Astors' gold
dinner-servicc, of the S., 900, 900 ditto at
Windsor Castle, and of the many other
splendid geld dishes and spoons with
which ordinary man manages to get along
without, q vision Of solid magni6cence
arises that very nearly breaks of the
mental optic. /, for one, have always
innocently supposed that gold table
utensils were what they pretended to be,
all gold; but lately an expert and
dealer in old silver has informed me to
the contrary. Even Victoria's royal gold
plate is no better than it should be. For
such o thing as "solid gold" is totally
unknown. l must say this knowledge Is
vast relief to me. Burglars may labor un.
der a like delusion, and fancy any piece OF
gold plate is better worth burgling than
the best silverware in the market. But
we have all made mistakel The finest
gold service in existence is but silver
washed with that precious metal. 1t
seems no less person than MIR. James
Kcene, when he returned from England
with the famous Ascot cup, won by his
horse Foxhall, also believed in the solid
gold business, until the trophy was
valued at $1,000 by the custom.house
officials. Mr.. Keenc paid the duties on
those figures and his cup was deposited
in place of safety. Shortly after came
the financial crash in Mr.. Kecne's for
tunes, and he fonnd it necessary to raise
money on the Ascot cup. The first jew.
eler and expert in New York was dis
patched to the bank to examine, or
rather to assay, its intrinsic value. He
found, to his own entire satisfaction,
that the 1,O0O-guinea cup was worth
precisely $500, including metals and the
price of artistic workmanship! Whether

Buzzard's Keen Sense Of Smell.

At meeting of the Biological Society
of Washington, an interesting paper was
read by Mr.. c. L. Hopkins on the sense
of smell in buzzards. This much debated
point was strongly set forth by Mr.. Hop
kins relating his experience in Florida.
It was the uniform testimony OF the
Florida "crackers" that buzzards OBJ
tanned food by smell. He observed that
buzzards never left their roosts on damp,
foggy mornings until the ground and
shrubbery were dry. They would then
move slowly across the wind until q
scent was struck, when they would work
up the wind until the carrion was found.
Sometimes they would drift down the
wind, pass their prey, until they struck
the scent, which would be followed up,
finding the object of their search some
times in the densest scrub. He had on
several occasions killed wild hogs in tho
scrub and after dressing them and taking
what meat he wished, would see twenty
or more buzza.ds coming down with the
wind. On several occasions covered offal
had been detected by them. They had
also discovered buried snake. Several
other instances were related, which, in
Mr.. Hopkins's opinion, conclusively
proved that buzzards find some of their
food by scent, though that did not pre-.
clude the possibility or probability that
they obtain other food by sight

Life's Mistakes.

Somebody has condensed the mistakes
of life, and arrived at the conclusion
that there are fourteen of them. Most
people would say, if they told the truth,
that there was no limit to the mistakes
of life; that they were like the drops in
the ocean or the sands on the shore IN
number; but it is we'll to be accurate.
Here, then, are fourteen great mistakes
1t is n great mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordingly; to measure the en-
ioymcnt of Others by our own; to expect
uniformity of opinion in the world; to
look for judgement and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mold all disposi.
tions alike; not 10 yield to immaterial
trifcs; to look for perfection in our own
actions; to worry ourselves and others
with what cannot be remedicd: not to
alleviate all that needs alienation as far
as lies in our power; not to make allow
anccs for the infirmitics of others; to
consider everything impossible that we
cannot perform; to believe only what our
finite minds can grasp; to expect to be
able to understand everything. The
greatest of mistakes IS to live for time
alone, when any moment may launch us
into eternity.
