a few mornings since a lady of medium
hight strolled passively and gently along
the sunny side of Fifth avenue, carrying
light parasol in on hand and twirling
dog whistle in the fingers of the other She
wore green gown, which fitted her beaati-
ful figure perfectly, and rather a matronly
bonnet surmounted her glossy hair Her
skin was clear olive and sutfused with
slight color in the cheeks. Occasionally she
spoke to a very stately dog which walked
beside her, and at other times her eyes wan
dered happily ahead. She was perfect
type of a thoroughly dignilied, mature,
handsome and we'll balanced New York lady
Of the year eighteen hundred and ninety.
The stories told about the illness of Mrs.
Edith Kingdom Gould are apparently pure
and simple invention. She was the picture
of health as she appeared that morning on
Fifth avenue.

a peculiar specimen of charity was that
displayed by certain capitalists of st. Paul
and Minneapolis who undertook to supply
the distressed North Dakota farmers with
seed, and raised $500 900 for that purpose.
The proposed benefaction was conditioned,
however, upon the farmers giving % cents
bushel more for The seed than it is worth,
paying 10 per cent. interest on the advance
and giving lien on their crops to secure
prompt payment The farmers say that
they will allow their farms to go untitled
before they will submit to such extorUion.
They declare that they are willing to paw
reasonable interest on advances, bat that
they will not raise a crop and sell it and
their lands for the benefit of usurers. In
the meantime the buoyaut spirits of Georgia
farmers are depressed only by the ac-
counts they read and hear of the straits
of their brother farmers of the north
west.

ARsform Movement in AiAssacnuset:

A Reform Movement in Massachuset:
%ns question of having oaly biennial se,-
s.ons Of the legislature il beiag agits,ed in
Mas sachusstts. and many are clamorlng for
an amend ne It Of the constitution providing
FOR slca sessions. If such an amendment
should b. submitted to the people, the
trainers of il ought TO be careful 10 have it
50 worded that tie legislature could not
meet every year. The constitution OF this
state provides for biennial sessions, but
somehow or other the legislature manages
70 meet every year, and the session at each
meeting is pretsy long one.
In this state very little respect is paid to
the Biennial session provision OK the cInsti-
tuition, aud it is safe to say that IN every
state legislatures viii meet annually unless
they are absolutely prohibited from doing
s., even though their Constitutions do pro-
vide for biennial sessions. To hear mem
berS of legislature talk one would suppose
that nothing would give them more pleasure
than short sessions held as seldom as possible,
but in practice they generally meet as often
as they dare and remain in session until
public sentiment forces them to adjourn.
IL would be great and glorious reform
If the legislature in each state were prohib-
tied from meeting oftener than once in two
years-once in three years would be still
greater reform-and from remaining in
session more than thirty or forty days.
There is altogether too much law making.
The people cannot keep themselves informed
with respect to all the laws. indeed, many
of the laws become dead letters soon after
they are enacted. There are doubtless
many laws on the statute books of this state
to which no attention whatever is paid, be-
cause they are forgotten. The people would
be better off if there were much less leZis-
lation. The guilty of the legislation, how
ever, might be improved 70 their ndvantnge.

The recent death of Edwin CowleS editor of

Falsely Packed rice

Complaints Of false packing of Louisiana
rice have become 50 numerous lately and
are apparently so wellfounied that the New
Orleans Rice and Sugar Exchange has Goa
cluded to make an investigation of than.
1t is charged that pac6ers have placed at
the bottom of barrels twenty-five o. thirty
pounds Of prime rice, covering it with
about POO pounds of an inferior article, ami
putting on top of this sufficient quantity
of good rice to fill the barrel
Although a barrel of r,cs thus
packed contains much the greater quantity
of the inferior article, it is sold as prime, at
a somewhat reduced figure. 1t has been
said in behalf of the packers that such in-
stances have not been numerous, and that
those which have been noticed may have
been due TO inadvertence, but the evidence
does not bear out these assertions. Ship
ments of this kind have been made to points
widely distant, and in New York five large
distributing grocers have apparently shown
that the fraudulent packing was Intentional.
This is al extremity short-sighted policy
on the part of packers. IL persisted in it
will inevitably reduce the sales of Louisiana
rice, and ruin the business of those who
engage it. These packers cannot escape
exposure; indeed, it is probable that their
names are already known.
1t is very gratifying that no complaints
of the kind have been made in the case of
Georgia and Carolina rice. The high repu-
tation which the different grades of the
article sent out from Savannah has long
enjoyed continues to be maintained, and
grocers and consumers are alike satisfied.

The Death of Count punch-your-nose

The Death Of Count Punch-Your-lo5e
Count Punonrostro, a prominent Spanish
nobemsn, has just died in Madrid. The story
of his title is told in the Nouueie Retue Inter
rationale.
Charles V. was a great hunter. One day,
while partridge shooting, he was ACCOMPANIED
by gamekeeper, who joined in the sport. The
servants of his maj sty were loaded with game
when q partridge rose under the feet of the tw o
spOrtSmen. Two shots went off simultaneously.
The partridge dropped.
Who killed that oird?" said the king to the
gamekeeper.
Il did" was the reply.
You lie, you scoundrel," said the king, ia a
rage.
Thereupon the guard unceremoniously
sogged his majesty. The first movement of
Carries was to try TO kill him, but fortunately
his gun was unloaded Then his second and
more successful effort was to save the man from
the fury of his attendants, and to send him off
to prison, with the recommendation to prepare
for Heath, remarlSing also that his offense was
all the more atrocious because he could not say
that he really did not lie, inasmuch as it was
doubtful WAC snot the bird.
Il have no doubt about it, sire, replied the
prisoner Permit me to examine the bird"
The king ordered the partridge to be brought
to him, and, after having examined it, the
guard affirmed that ii was he who shot it, be-
cause it was hit by bullet, and he had used
bullets all day long, While the king used shot.
A further examination of the dead partridge by
the king and his attendants proved that the
gamekeeper was correct
The king was sorry, but he nevertheless sent
the prisoner 20 Madrid, where he was placed in
the cell Of offenders condemned 20 death At
the last moment the king promised him pardon
il he would repent but the guard re used
