CHEESE IN HARNESS.

An Alabama Farmers clever Scheme for Weedlng His Cotson. From the Atlanta JeurnsL1
 A gentleman living in Atlanta tells won derful story.
 "When was in Alabama, between Porter's Gap and Millersville," said he, 'I came to a country place whsre 8 man was driving ten or twelve geese from a branch toward cot ton patch. For Heavens sake, said ], what is it you have on the necks of those gsese4"
 "Those are gourds, full of water. drive the geese into that cottou patch and keep them there all day wedding out the cotton. There is no water in the cstton patch and have to give them water in this way to keep them there"
 "Those geese will weed out more cotton in day than two people would. They will eat the weeds and grass, but they won't touch the cotton"
 "But how do they get the water out of those gourds under their neckW
 "They drink out of each others gourds. Eaoh gourd has an opening In the side, so another goose can put his bill into the gourd and drink. If you will stay here long snongh you will see it yourself"
 ''I waited there half day to see that psr- formance, and finally I saw it. The geese did just as the man said they would. When goose got thirsty he walked up to his neigh Dor and cooley drank out of the gound on his neck"
 '-That story is good to print"
 "Yes, but don't you put my name to 1t. It is strictly true, and don't mind telling it to people who know me, but don't want to risk my reputation on it with a stranger"
 The story was repeated to another gentle man, who said:
 'tThat is the trouble with good many people in this country. They leave the geese to weed out their cotton, 50 to speak, while they do something else."

The Educational Bill.

wAsHISGroN, January l4.-At the con-
elusiop Of Mr.. Vance's speech yesterday on
the tariff, the subject went over, and Mr.
Gray proceeded to make . constitutional
argument against the educational bill. He
felt il incumbent on him to enter q protest
ss least against measure 80 full of danger
and 20 monstrous in its provisions. Sens-
tors who were urging the bill believed
In . higher law than the Consti-
ution. He did not doubt their SINGER
ity. They were relieved from all
ecruples on that score. He appealed to
Southern Senators. and asked them whether
their knowledge of human nature and
their experience in life instructed them
that there was any reasonable hope that
the people of their States after eight years
Of demqslixing dependence on this golden
stream from the national treasury would
again declare for their independence. and
would thrust away the hand still held out
70 feed them.
In the course of his argument, Mr.. Gray
asked what truth had been 80 clearly estab-
lished during the last century Is this, that
the greatest measures of liberty and the
highest type Of citizenship and civilization
bad been achieved and maintained by local
self-government. This WAS an educating
influence which the bill ignored and tended
70 destroy.
Mr.. Blair stated. in reply to q portion Of
Mr.. Gray's speech. that In the Southern
States. which contAined one-third Of the
population of the country, only 81 Co., :
