mittee Of the whole, when further consider
alton of the appropriation bill was gone
into. Mr Arnheim of Doughtery offered
an amendment to strike out $4,000 for
the maintenance of the lunatic asylum, and
insert Sl75,O0 He said that in several of
the departments more moIey was spent
than was necessary. He charged that the
salary of the man who looked after the
cows, mules and the farm was too much.
that he should not be allowed a horse, and
that the institution could get along with a
less number of cows; and also that the
matron's salary should be cut down.
HALLELUJAH LICKs.
Mr.. FELTON,, chairman of the committee
on the lunatic asylum, made a strong and
earnest argument in favor of the amount
appropriated by the committee. He COM
plimented the management of the institu-
tion and said that Georgia should look well
after her unfortunate children. He en-
pbagized his remarks with his celebrated
''hallelujah ticks" and during his speech
was frequently awarded applause.
Mr. Humphreys Of Brooks favored Mr.
Arnheim's amendment He argued on the
line of retrenchment and reform He be-
lieved that $50, 900 was an ample sum with
which to take care of the institution and its
inmates if it was economically expended. A
vote was not reached owing to the hour of
adjournment.

Interest has been aroused by the re-
port that periodic star called the Star
of Bethlehem has been visible in the
heavens, and the star is said to have a
period of 315 years. This report rests on
the most shadowy foundation. 1t is
true that, some 300 years back, such a
star was asserted to have appeared in
Cassiopeia within the period named
but the observation has not been en-
dorsed by any modern astronomer
But at this time the name Star of
Bethlehem" has been curiously assign
ed to Venus, which planet, during the
past December, has been placed so
favorably for observation that in the
early morning sky it has formed very
beautiful object. The mistake has
been widespread, and it is impossible
to trace its origin.

The gossips of quiet Haddonfeld,
the pretty Jersey village ON the line of
the Camden and Atlantic, have some
thing strange to talk about nowadays.
for highly sensational plague seems
to have seized the dogs of the village
and the adjoining country
The quiet townspeople have been
not a little startled by the alarming
prevalence of rabies, and it is a sorry
act for the canine which happens to
snap or snarl or show a little foam on
his teeth. The reports thus far re-
ceived from the front bear tidings of
seven dead dogs in Haddonfield and
four in Marlton. Next Wednesday the
borough commissioners of Haddonfield
meet, unless the condition of affairs
becomes so serious as to warrant a
special meeting, and proclamation
will be posted, setting forth that every
dog within the boundaries OF the
village must be Imuzzled or tied up.
