Okefnokee swamp in Georgia is the SUI
ject of bill before the legislature of that
State. The swamp contains between 300, 900
and 400, 600 acres, the soil Is very rich and q
great deal of valuable timber is growing
there, but 1t is inaccessible for want of
drainage. The bill proposes to sell the swamp
for twelve and half cents per acre, but the
objectors claim that the State itself might
drain it, and get as much as five dollars per
acre. The Savannah News says "it would
be better for the State to give 1t away, with
the certainty that 1t would be drained at an
early day, than to let it remain in its pres-
ent condition for the next quarter of GEN.

Some interesting information concerning
the author Of s'There is happy land" is go
ing the rounds: His name is Andrew Young,
and he is now eighty years of age, still men
tally aud physically vigorous, and retaining
in all its early freshness his sympathy with
children. The hymn was composed in 1888.
The tune to which it is married is an old In
dian air, which blended with the music of
Sunday schools were thought of. The hymn
was composed for the melody. Its bright
land strongly marked phrases struck Mr..
Young's musical ear the first time he heard
1t casually played In the drawing room. He
asked for 1t again and again. It haunted
him. Being accustomed to relieve the
clamor of his thoughts and feelings in rhyme.
words naturally followed, and so the hymn
was created. Mr.. Young happened to have
his hymn performed in the presence Of his
intimate friend, Mr.. Gall, member of the
publishing firm of Gall & Inglis. It got iu-

1t is only recently that Professor David Mas
son, referring to the unique influence of this
lyric, stated most touching incident in the
life of Thackeray. Walking one day In a
''slum" district in London he suddenld came
upon band of gutter children sitting on the
pavement. They were singing. Drawing
nearer he heard the words: "There is hap

robe, and decide what you will need for the
coming season; then, make a list. When
shopping, especially if your time is limited,
look for the things You want, and do not let
yourself be tempted by things you do not
need, wonderful bargains though they may
list are supplied. Then, if you have any
money left, and time to "prowl," buy what
pleases your fancy, if you chose, and you
will not regret it as you might if you had
been obliged to give up something you
wanted more, because your money had gone
for trihes. In buying winter clothes, I con-
slider the outer garment of most Importance,
and always find cloak and hat to suit me
first; after that, what dresses I may need,
consulting the color Of cloak and hat when
selecting those to be worn on the street; and
then the lesser items of boots and gloves,
lingerie, eto. If you have chosen dresses,
cloak and hat, it will be an easy matter to
decide the color for gloves, also, how many
pairs will be needed.
The calling list may be pinned on the in
side of the closet door, at convenient height
your calling acquaintance alphabetically, or
any other way you choose, but take long
piece of paper, if your list be a long one, and
wide enough to leave a space after each
Rame. Have two signs, crosses and ciphers,
or any other mark you please; one to signify
that you owe the call, the other that you
have paid 1t; then, whenever you receive or
make q call, put your mark opposite your
friends name. This will aid memory in an
important matter. The same sort Of list is
good for correspondence, unless you have
the equally good habit of keeping all unan-
swered letters and destroying them as soon
as answered.
1t is often helpful, especially in the busy,
house cleaning time, to make list of i'm
portant things you mean to do or have done,
as, for example, mending broken chair,
having troublesome door planed, making a
new rag bag, plastering mouse hole, and
various things of the sort, which will never
be done if you do not make list, and in all
probability will, If you do. Always scratch
off the things which you have accomplished,
and you will take great pride, if your list is
a long one, in seeing it grow shorter and
shorter, until all the troublesome, worrying
| little things are finally done.
If you are to entertain, make a list of
your dinner, tea, or supper, as the case may
| be, and make it in season. If your guests
are men, it may be well, sometimes, to make
a list Of guests, that you may plan to have
congenial people together, for great deal Of
| the suocees of any gathering depends upon
the combination, not orly of food, but OF
people as we'll.
To those not accustomed to the use of
lists, a first trial may seem to much trouble,
but it has always been my experience that
| the system and order resulting from the
habit, save not only great deal of time,
but worry and mistakes as well. Have al
| ways blocks of paper on hand, and tear off
| the sheets as you use them. They are very
| inexpensive, ranging from two cents bloch
| to five, according to size.

Thursday morning. The roll Of states
was called tor nominations, and when
Vermont was reached Judge Veazey
arose and said that he saw plainly the
sentiment was strongly in favor Of Gen.
Alger, so he would Withdraw his name
Consigny, of Iowa. then Withdrew his
name, while the irrepressible Dalzell
was not heard from, either by himself
or anyone else. The matter standing
in this shape, resolution To rescind
the former resolution, as 10 the time 10
elect, was passed, and the secretary
was instructed to east the ballot of the
encampment for General Alger, which
was done amid the widest enthusiasm.
A. G. Weissart, of Wisconsin, was then
chosen Senior Vice.Commander, and
Col. Lovett, of New Jersey, Junior
Vice Commander, in the same manner.
The election of General Alger will give
the liveliest satisfaction To grand army
men everywhere. His brilliant wal
record and his unvarying loyalty To the
G. A. X. makes him admired and re-
spected even where his pure private
life is not So intimately known as il Is
in his own state.

campment at Boston.

settlement, when it finally reaches the
United States supreme court, will in
yolve serious consequences. Both JUS

the case. The federal authorities, on
the other hand, insist that rs the shoot

federal orders, in defense of United
