chased a house and lot in Lavonia, Ga,
and will remove to that f%ourishing town
soon. Ho purchased the Brooks C Tabor

Brayton, Republican, received 1,41O.
Col. Elliott appealed from tho decision of

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

EChe Distinction Between That OF Canada
and That OF the United States.
They have federativc government in
The Dominion of Canada, and wo have
one in tho United States; but how few
OF us take the trouble to notice tho
wide difference between them?
We do not now mean to direct atten-
ton to the obvious and superficial fact
that our President is chosen by tho peo.
pie, while tho Governor-Gcneral of the
Dominion is appointed by Queen Vic
toria Wero tho Canadians to elect
their Governor-Gcneral tomorrow, tho
profound and vital differences between
tho TWO fcdcrative systems would still
exist.
The fundamental distinction between
tho Dominion constitution and our own
IS that by tho former all powers not OK
pressly delegated to tho provinces arc
reserved to tho federation, whereas tue
federal organic law Of this country is
based upon precisely the contrary prin-
ciple.
Passing to details, VIC observe that
the Dominion government has exclusive
control of tho Canadian militia, whereas
on this side of tho border tho citizen
States Here we have State iudiciaries;
there the Judges of tho supreme, su-
perior and county courts of the PROV
iaces arc appointed by tho federal ex-
ocutive. Finally, the federal govern
mont of tho Dominion has tho power to
nullify provincial legislation not only
on the score of constitutionaiity, but by
intorposing an arbitrary veto.
The most outspoken advocates of q
federal government in the Philadelphia
convention of 1787-evcn Hamilton
himself-did not venture to propose q
system so subvcrsivo of State rights as
that which all tho provinces of British
North America, except Newfoundland,
have accepted. No such scheme would
haVc had any chance Of adoption by our
State conventions at that epoch, for the
reason that we had not so much to fear
from possible oncroachments of power
full neighbors on this continent as tho
Canadians have now.
1t was because they lay in tho trc-
mcndous shadow Of tho great American
Republic thai the Canadian provinces
reluctantly assentcd to tho sweeping
sacrifice Of their local rights imposed By
the Dominion constitutional. Y.

SENATORIAL ELOOUENCE.
How That of To-Day Differs from Perora-
tions of FIFTY Years Ago.


tions of Fifty Years Ago.
The cloquenco of the grand old Sena-
torial trio, "Clay, Webster. and Cal
houn," is famous as q tradition, and only
rs a tradition, for none such would be
tolerated nowadays, when hurried folks
would have no leisure or fancy for
listening to long-windcd srcechcs
stretching over many solid days without
break, barring sudden indispositions"
OF the speakers at the hands Of Provi-
dencc. Yet these, as many others Of tho
Scnate's galaxy, were undoubtedly men
Of greater intellectual calibcr than their
successors; no ono could say that Mr..
lioar fills Mr.. Wcbster's seat, that Mr..
Blcckburn fills Mr.. Clay's, or that Mr..
Butler fills Mr.. Calhoun's. The style,
form ana mcGnou nave altered Tor tho
better, but the difference in character
and intellect between the Senators Of
the past and those of tho present leans
not to tho side Of tho latter. Yet,
though without such eminent quail
itications Of leadership as tho oldon
senators had, tho Senators Of to-
day arc worry sliillfwl dcbatcrs
and d!ligcnt workers especially in
The committee rooms. whore most OF the
Legislative business is prepared. Not so
strictly or narrowly partisan as their
predecessors, They appeal in this i'm
proved ago to q far larger audience, ono
that has grown to be very highly en-
liGhtcncd and developed, and thoy may
really DO said 10 be compelled to spoal;
to and act for popularity" represented
by tho universal prcss, rather than by
tho old time clipping spectators who
ruled from tho galleries. Tho lovcling
tendencies OF this much moro highly de-
vclopcd era afford less opportunity for
tho ri5o Of towering "talkcrs,' and so
Congressional leadership Ia imposed by
the Nation itself, by u guiding public
opinion, by tho maay on broad lines
rather than by tho few on narrow limos.
though, truly enough, however de-
vc!opcd may bo any age, thcro must
ever be room, in thco"y, if not in rrac-
tic", for marking mon on top, precisely
in the position Of its highest cXponontg.

LEGEND OF KANE-AU-KAI.
A Stone That Brings Marvellous Luck tC
Hawaiian Fishermen.

A Stone That Brings Marvellous Luck to
Hawaiian Fishermen.
Kane-au-kai is the name of stone
near Weimea, on the island of Oahu. 1t
has very curious legend connected
with it. Many years ago-how many,
this deponent saith not-the fishermen
of Waimea went out on morning to
| fish. They cast their nets as usual, but,
on taking them up, found they had
caught nothing. They moved a little
away to some other spot, but with no
better success. They changed again,
but failed. After these futile attempts
had been often repeated, they were
about to haul in their nets and return
homeward, for the gods of the sea
seemed, that day, at least, to be unpro-
pitious. However, they determined,
before leaving, to try once again. This
time the net was loaded. They sup
posed, from the weight, that some mon
ster of the deep was in the meshes
On hauling the net ashore, they found
nothing in it but big stone. The
stone was flung into the sea, another
cast of the net followed, and again it
came up heavy. There was in it-a
stone, and amazed they were to find it
the same stone they had already flung
into the sea. A second time the offend
ing stone was cast into the deep, and
the fishermen moved off to a new lOca-
ton. One more attempt was made at
fishing, when, third time, up came the
Identical stone. The fishermen were
by this time enraged. With vigorous
strokes, and fierce visage out rowed they
far away seaward, and tossed the in
truding stone overheard.
Certain that now they were rid of it,
they retired to their fishing grounds and
proceeded, on the spur of fresh excite
ment, to ply their labors. The netflled
and now they pulled shoreward with
many congratulations They reioiced
in the prospect of a good return to Offset
the Universities of the morning Out of
the net came-the stone, only that and
nothing more. Awed now by it's mirac-
ulous temperance, they carried it
reverently to land, and kneeling around
paid it divine honors. Returning to
their work they cast their net, and now
were they rewarded with the finest haul
of fish ever they had taken. Thus runs
the legend, and, to this day, on return
ing from the harvest of the ocean, the
first fish taken by the head of the party
is laid, for future good luck, on the stone

In some cases the skin becomes hot
and dry, particularly the feet and
hands; in others, again, the feet and
hands are cold, and there is great heat
in the body and head. Sometimes
there are sharp pains, front and back,
under the shoulders, and there may be
chronic diarrhea. The tongue is usual
ly coated, and often there is nausea and
vomiting after meals. The appetite is
variable, generally poor, and there is
often an excessive flow of saliva. The
patient suffers from an increased fever
during the night, frequently perspires
while asleep and is troubled with
"heartburn." Generally the face is
flushed or the skin becomes sallow, and
sometimes there is dry, hacking cough,
while the voice is hoarse and husky.
Not all of the foregoing symptoms
are present in every case. The more
complicated the disease has become,
the greater the number and diversity
of symptoms. Generally the liver is
torpid and many times the kidneys
more OF less involved.

malady that DR.. Pierces Golden Med

which little is known and tower such
as that now contemplated would allow
of very interesting observations to be
made on winds. We may also venture
to suggest that the information thus OBJ
tanned would have an important prac-
teal bearing in an engineering point of
view, as showing the strength Of the
wind buildings may have to withstand
at great heights. The measurement of
rainfall, made simultaneously at 1000
feet and on the ground, would add to our
knowledge of the laws of rainfall; it
would be found that less rain falls at
the top than at the bottom. The connec-
ton of this phenomenon with atmos-
pheric humidity and temperature would
be very interesting to investigate.
Finally, earth tremors, the forerun-
ners of earthquakes, would be felt
at the summit of high tower much
more readily than in contact with
the earth, and earthquakes might be ex-
pected to produce greatly magnified eff
fectS at such an elevation; hence
seismometer would find fitting place
at the top of the proposed building. A
great deal might be added on this sub
ject. We have not touched on the as
Economical uses of a very high tower
from the greater clearness of the atmos-
phere at such an altitude. There are
also other points of physiological inter-
est that could have been dwelt upon,
such as the influence of an altitude of
of 1,20O feet on respiration, or on the
nervous system. 1t might be remarked
that there would be little fear of feel
ing giddy when looking down from q
tower ofsuch height, although the view
over precipice of 1000 feet would not
be unlikely to produce a most unpleas-
ant Sation.-British Medical Jour
nal.

THE PASSIONATE POET.
AlgernOn Sw1nburne Dispensing Loll
pops to His Child Friends.

Algernon Sw1nburne Dispensing Lolli-
pops to His Child Friends.
How very conservative Mr.. Swinburne
is in his daily habits. He generally
takes an afternoon walk from Putney
over to Wimbledon, where he ''puts up
for quarter of an hour at a house he is
fond of visiting. He never carries a
walking stick or an umbrella, though l
have it on very good authority that he
is not above lining his pockets at con-
fectioner's shop with sweets and bis
cults, and dispensing these freely to
youngsters whom he meets on the road.
The other day Wimbledon was deluged
and the common especially was a place
to be avoided, but when the downpour
was heaviest-about four oclock-I saw
Mr.. Swinburne calmly marching along
toward his usual resting place, and he
was protected against the ungentle rain
from heaven by neither umbrella nor
macintosh. He was wet through.
From his large-brimmed felt hat rills of
rain ran down upon his garments. His
face was shining as if anointed with
oil, his long white cuffs were in a mis-
cradle state. The number of stories,
by the way, which are told at Wimble-
don about the poet, whom every child
in the village knows and admires (the
admiration being, no doubt, kind of
cupboard love-, is quite endless.
The other day asked the confection-
er's wife whom Mr.. Swinburne honors
with his custom whether she knew who
the gentleman was who had just left her
shop. ''Oh, yes" she replied at once.
That's Mr.. Swinburne, private gen
tleman, but he isn't quite right in his
head; he is what they call a poet, I'm
told" When he is walking along
in his soldierly fashion, Mr.. SwinDurne
never takes his eyes off the ground, and
evidently does not see that he is the OBJ
served of all observers. The other day
charming young lady said to me, in
an ecstacy of admiration: eff l only
dared, wouldn't like to have the honor
of shaking hands with him. But he
looks too stern" The sternness, how
ever, vanishes altogether when, on their
playground on the common, he sees the
children at play, or being wheeled about
in their perambulators. And if you
''catch" Mr.. Swineburne at such mo-
ment you no longer marvel that this is
the great poet who wrote ATLANTA"

eyes there shines light which is not OF

The Scientific Uses of Such Structures Dis
cussed by a Medical Journal.
1t appears that we are really going to
have a second revised and enlarged edi-
ton of Eiffels Tower in London. Prob
ably the first object of the majority of
the promoters of such tower would be
to make it pay; but there are other
uses lofty structure of this kind might
be applied to, and its interest to our
selves and many others would be that it
would undoubtedly afford valuable
means of scientific observation, especial
ly of meteorological character. The
proposed tower would allow of an in
quiry into the atmospheric conditions up
to 1000 feet Instruments for measur-
ing the heat Oft suns rays, such as
black bulb thermometers IN 0dcuO, and
actinometers, disposed at the top
and bottom of the tower would
also give very interesting read
ings, the instruments at the
highest station probably showing
an excess of the suns heat over the 9TH
er, because of the atmospheric humidity
intervening between the earth's imme-
date surface and an altitude of 1000
feet. Thermometers disposed at various
heights, and properly screened from
radiation, would show the temperature
of the atmosphere at different levels;
the air would probably be found colder
on rising higher and higher, giving this
curious result-that the sun would be
warmer at the top than at the bottom;
but, in the absence of sun, the air
would be colder at the top. At night
the distribution of the temperature in
the atmosphere is known to be the re-
verse of the day time. On fine clear
night the temperature will be found
higher at 1000 feet than it is on the
earth, while on a cloudy night it
will be much the same at both stations;
but we have much to learn on the laws
of terrestrial radiation, and the pro-
posed tower would be very usefuli in that
respect. OF course an observer would
not be expected to race day and
night up and down a tower 1000
feet high, to make observations
and read thermometers: thisl would
be too great, and, indeed, an unneces-
thing can be done from below in com
Portable building by means of Siemens'

temperature at various attitudes, the
state of humidity of the atmosphere, a
condition greatly concerned in the for

disposed at various heights and in cleo
