Emulation.

The process of the youthful mind
when it gets to logical deduction is apt
to be fearful and wonderful, and the
adult intellect is not always easily able
to follow.

the teacher asked her pupils to give an
example of cylinder from some object
which they had at home.
"Asparagus, one little boy Responded
very promptly.
My mother had rhubarb," another
said briskly, thus catching at half the
cylinder idea and yet improving an OPP
portunity to boast of something which
his family enjoyed.
The third, overcome by the connection
of ideas on the culinary side. lost sight
of the original proposition altogether
and cried out with the air of one who is
not to be beaten:

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
He Deals at Length With the Peniten
tiary Question.

The message of Gov. Buchanan to
the General Assembly was read in
both houses last Monday afternoon.
The chief portion of the message is
devoted to the Penitenn tiary ques-
ton. We give below some liberal
extracts from the document. After
calling attention to the needed cor
rections in election laws, redistrict-
ing of the state, and again recon-
mending an appropriation for the
Worlds Fair, he thus opens out on
THE PENITENTIARY QUESTION.
"Revision of criminal laws-I pre-.
sumo that you come to the considera-
ton of the above mentioned subject
with settled opinions, ard / most ear
nestly request you to dispose of them
as speedily as possible and pass to
the consideration of the penitentiary
and the subjects connected Herewith.
l believe that the first step necessary
to be taken looking toward the in
auguration of a better prison system
is the revision of the criminal code.
The present statues were enacted be-
fore the present conditions of society
existed, when masters controlled their
own plantations and inflicted corpo-
raj punishment for petty offenses. OF
the 800 prisoners in the penitentiary
1850 are negroes, and a large proper
ton of them are sentenced for petty
offenses.
1.-THE law should be so changed as
to raise the division between petitand
grand larceny to $50, $40 or 800, and
petit larceny and offenses of like
grade should be made misdemeanOrs

THE General Assembly convened
at noon last Monday in extra session.
A great number Of bills bearing upon
the several subjects embraced in the
Governors message have been intro
duced, passed first and second read
ings and gone to appropriate commit
tees. While it would seem from
reading the proceedings that much
time is wasted in idle discussion over
frivolous matters, yet there seems to
be determination among the mem>
bers that some good work shall be ac-
complished by the session. 1t APP
pears quite probable now that some
important changes will be made in
the criminal code. There does not
seem to be much hope for an abroga-
ton of the lease system at present,
but the removal and building of a
new penitentiary looms up among
the possibilities. Legislative COM
mittees are comforting with the: peni-
tertiary lessees to see if any kind of
compromise can be effected.

CHILEAN War Over.

The war in Chill which has been in
progress about eight months between
the government party, headed by
President Balmaceda, and the Con-
gressional party, or insurgents, has
ended in complete victory for the
latter, who are now in full charge of
the country. Balmaceda has disap-
peared, and it is thought that he is
making his escape through the Andes
mountains toward Beunos Ayres. 1t
is also reported that he has been kill
ed. On account of the Itata affair
and other things which have occurred
during the war, there is a bitter feel
