How much are slate pencilss" asked a
woman as she stepped into a stationery
store yesterday morning.
Ten cents a dozen.''
Tive me one dozen.n
Then, unwrapping the package, she de
Iberately began to eat the pencils. Yes,
eat them-not Just chip the ends with her
teeth as do school children-but biting Oh
substantial quarter-inch pieces and crush
ing n swallowing them with lnHnl5e
relish. This was quite a remarkable
achievement for a staid, matronly person,
such as she appeared to be, u patufaIiy
she was questioned concerning thls
strange propensity. From what she SAID

she experiences an uneXplalnable craving
for such matter and feels compelled 20
eat it.
The odor of the dust raised in the
streets by the pas ing vehicles arouses III
her much the same sensation OF unapee
peasable desire as affects the senses OF
the inebriate when ssumed by.
fumes of a dram shop. There is nothing
she likes better than to discover a nice
retired gravel pit and revel in the on

is her complexion, which is euriously

A letter just received from London says
that the other day q thief broke into a
mansion in Belgravia early in the morn
ing, and found himself in a music room.
Hearing footsteps approaching he hid be-
hind a screen.
From Z to 8 o'clock the eldest daughter
had a lesson on the piano.
From s to 8 O'Clock the second daughter
too a singing lesson.
From 9 to 10 o'clock the eldest son had

From 10 to IL o'clock the other son took
a lesson on the flute.

No such institution as our English
workhouse exists in France, the only
shelter offered those unfortunate mem
bers of the human family who find them
selves houseless and penniless, being the
night asylums, which, though admirable
institutions in their way, are kept up by
private charity, and can receive but a very
limited number of the applicants who
crowd round the doors, both winter and
summer
That the absence of warehouses; in
France does not, however. imply much
greater prosperity or thrift than in Eng
and is proved by d statement recently
made in the Chamber of Deputies by the
member for Indre-et-LOire, who informed
the Ministec of The Interior that in one
commune in his department, reckoning
5000 inhabitants, no fewer than 1,400 yag-
rants have been known to present them
selves for aims in a single day. This in
stance was adduced as an example of the
great increase in the number of vaga-
bonds, due, presumably, as M. Constan s
observed, to the hard times experienced
by many of the working classes during
the past few years,
1t may be added that to put down vaga-
bondage in France is not easy, offenders
of this class only being liable to prose-
cution in the event of their having neither
domicile, nor profession, nor recognized
trade-three conditions that are rarely
met with together.-London Standard.

Barbed Wire Fencing French PatN kHN
atty Collected by American Manu- y
facturers Void.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. Is The most impor-
tant discovery has been made here that
the control of barbed wire patents is not
vested in any American firm or corpora
ton, because the device of barbed wire
was patented in France to Louis Janin,
on April 10, 1865 The law of this
country, as declared by the United
States supreme court, is that "a
foreign patent for the same thing OF
description of the thing III a foreign pub
LEGATION is as effeetual to void patent as
if the patentee had seen the prior inven-
ton, notice to him not being important -
If this decision holds, and there is no
appeal from it the claims OF certain
persons for royalty under the Glidden
and other barbed wire patents are void
and all the money paid to them By barbed
wire manufacturers who had no interest
in the GHdden patents IS believed TO bs
subjected to recovery.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 The ways and
means committee had a short meeting
this morning, but one full of results.
The McMillin tariff bill, which was pre-
scented to the committee yesterday, was
finally considered and ordered to be
reported to the house. According to
the committee s estimate the bill would
if enacted into a law, reduce the reve-
nues $72 900 900. 1t is closely patterned
after the Mills bill, retaining the free
list, with a few additions made by the
senate.
When this was disposed of the commit
tee, with view to having at hand a bill
to meet immediate emergencies, in the
matter of excessive revenue, authorized
a favorable report upon an original
bill prepared by Representative
Breckenridge of Kentucky, which
proposes to put tin plate and
wool on the free list and to reduce the
internal revenue as proposed i'll the Mills
bill, which in its revenue portion is
identical with the Cowles bill. The bill
also includes the WOODEN and worsted
cloth sections of the Mills bill. This
measure, it is said, would reduce the
revenues about $40 900 900, but it is gem
orally believed this measure will be the
main recourse of the ways and means
Democrats in the approaching conflict
with the appropriations committee.

THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The senate
bill to place Maj. James Belger on the
retired list as colonel in lac regular army
was passed.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the resolution reported from the com =
mittee on privileges and elections as TO
the outrages in Washington county Tex. :,
and Mr.. Coke proceeded with his argu-
ment, again quoting extensively from
the testimony TO prove the bad reputa-
ton of the three memorialists, Hack
worth, Moore and Schultz.
Mr. Coke yielded the floor to permit
Mr.. Sherman to present the conference
report on the direct tax bill.
The house provision in relation to lots
and lands in Beaufort, S. c.. is amended
so as to appropriate $500 900 TO pay for
town lots in Beaufort at the rate of half
value assessed thereon for taxes by the
United States land commissioner for
South Carolina, and at rate of SIS per
acre for lands.
The report was agreed to and Mr.. Coke
resumed his speech, but soon yielded
again in order to allow Messrs. Blair and
Edmunds, who were not present when
report on direct tax bill was adopted, to
express their views in opposition to the
bill.
As Mr. Coke did not wish to complete
his remarks to-day the senate adjourned {.

Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky from

Mr. Reed of Maine asked that report
ON this bill be read.
The speaker stated that the bill was not
before the house for consideration.
Mr. Reed-t.Is there a report?'
The speaker There is brief report -
The bill was referred to committee of the
whole.
The effect of the report of these
measures is to place them upon the
calendar ahead of the internal revenue
bill, to be reported from the committee
on appropriations, and to give them
right of way The friends of the Cowles
bin can muster sufficient strength to set
them aside.

SOUTHERN WHITE REPUBLICANS.
Address From South Carolina Convention
Which Causes a Sensation.

Address From South Carolina Convention
Which Causes a Sensation
Charleston, S. c., Special to the Baltimore Sun.
A genuine sensation in politics has been
caused in this state by the publication of
an address to the white people of South
Carolina, which appeared this morning.
The address was issued by a convention
held in Pickens county on Monday last
and has been sent to most of the Repub-
ican papers in the North and West
The convention was composed of white
men. The resolutions state that
whereas the carpet-baggers and Bour-
bons continue to claim now, as they did
twelve years ago, that all the native
white people in South Carolina are Dem
ocrats and the colored people are Repub-
licans, thus publishing to the world the
falsehoods that the white and colored
races, respectively, formed the so-called
Democratic and Republican parties; and
whereas we wish to anuihilate that false
claim; therefore be it
Resolved, that the progress of the state
is greatly hindered, immigration and
capital prevented from coming among
us, the system Of public education is very
unfair, large sums OF the people IS money
being annually appropriated for favored
few, while the masses are very poorly
provided for, and the constitutional guar
antee of American citizenship is outraged
to an extent that seriously threatens the
peace of the commonwealth. Under the
present system of elections a large ma
jority of the voters are practically dis
franchised, yet they are forced to bear
the burdensome taxation yearly levied
upon them while being virtually without
representation in the affairs of the gov
eminent.
The address declares in favor of pro-
lection to American industries, and that
it is the intention of the party to affiliate
with the national Republican party i'll its
efforts TO secure honest elections, estab-
lish good schools and bring material pros
perity TO the South as it has done TO the
North. The signers declare that they
have over u 800 white voters with them,
independents and old-line Union men,
and call upon the liberal whites to join
them. This is the first effort that has
been made in this state since the war to
organize a white Republican party. The
organizers hope to get with them the
farmers party, which made such Wig
orous fight in the last campaign.

ARGUMENT AGAINST THE COMMISSION.
Since the commission bill has been the
theme of discussion before the legislature
great deal has been said about a lee
ture delivered 10 the law class at the uni
verSity by eN-GOveruor Roberts on the
subject of 1.-The States Right to Regu-
late Railroads - As the alcalde was
reported TO have taken
very decided stand against the right
Of the legislature 10 delegate to COM
mission the power 10 fix railroad tariffs
There has been general desire on the
part Of the public TO see the
document published, and the
railroad men have tried to
prevail upon the old gentleman TO allow
them to have it published. He refused
for a long time, but finally consented,
and to-day gave out Il type writer copy of
the epistle. The lecture dwens at great
length upon property rights, but says
very little directly upon the subject
Of railroad legislation, and has therefore
but little bearing upon the subject agitat-
ing the public mind. 1t viii prove a
much weaGer argument against the COM
mission bill than has been anticipated.
