SENATE.


The senate at yesterdays session finally
succeeded in recommending an interest and
usury bill for passage. The bill recon-
mended was Senate File No. l, which re-
duces the interest to and per cent and
retains the present law, which forfeits both
principal and interest for usury.
Senator Donnely presented resolution
authorizing the Investigating committee,
which was ordered the day before to be APP
pointed, to send Tor persons and papers and
to employ a stenographer to take evidence.
When the special order-the usury bill
was taken up, the first question was upon
the amendment of Senator March, which
in effect repeats the forfeiture clause and
substitutes penal clause i'll its stead.
Senator Wood, in discussing the ques-
ton, said that no action taken by the legis-
lature could bring great measure OF re-
lief The remedy must be furnished by the
national government in providing greater
volume of currency.
Senator Dean followed i'll a speech COM
batting Senator Woods free coinage ideas.
A vote was then taken upon Senator
MARGINS amendment and it was defeated by
a vote of "a to "a,
Senator John Day Smith moved that the
amended bill be recommended to be placed
at the head of general orders, but the mo-
ton was defeated by vote of II to 30.
Senator Davis moved to recommend the
amended bill to pass. Senator Leavitt
moved to substitute No. 375 as amended,
but the motion was lost by vote of 20 to
q.
Senate File No. was then recommended
to pass by vote OF % to q, and the senate
adjourned.
Two petitions in favor of the Currier bill
were received and referred to the railroad

Under the order of the introduction of

proposed to radically change the qualifica

house went into committee of the whole,

Feather Beds and Asthma.

1t is necessary that the feathers should
be taken from geese alive, that is, if
we are to study the comfort of people who
must have feather beds and pillows. Dead
feathers are no better than huslzs, and are
unwholesome But there isn't one pound of
feathers used in beds today where there were
twenty ten years ago. Asthma and hay fever
have done great deal to lessen the demand
for feather beds and pillows, for it was dis
covered few years ago that feathers and
asthma loved to consort, and that nothing
would start an asthmatic to wheeling SO
quickly and with such volume of sound as a
couch Of geese feathers. The scovery
spread, and the goose owes great deal of its
latter day comfort to the asthma. New

The 'eTown Site COMPANY"

The Town Site Company" ! ought to
explain, for the benefit of some eastern
readers, is an association ofmen who make
up their minds that townshould, would
or could grow up at a certain point in a
wild region whittier civilization is tending,
or whittier rush is expected, contingent
upon certain event, like the discovery
of precious metals or the completion of a
railway. Under laws of the United States
these men take up" a certain area upon
which to build their town, and proceed to
put it into as presentable shape as cir
cumstances will admit, by surveying
streets, indicating parks and reser-
vations for public buildings-hospitals
churches, city hail. libraries and
SO on; by bringing water from the hills,
planting shade trees and perhaps building
big hotel In many cases the railway is
a partner and helps by concentrating
operations at that point; indeed, the ext
gencles OF railway construction and oper-
alton are generally the most potent factors
in deciding the locality.
The place plotted and the company"
ON the ground, lively advertising begins.
The floating frontier crowd rushes to the
new spot and wild speculation in town
lots at once begins, prices being paid that
have no relation to the intrinsic value Of
the property acquired, which, as vet. is
worth next TO nothing, but, like the wild
cat stocks of Wall street. simply repre-
sent the amount a man is willing to stake
on that particular card, or the rental he
can afford for immediate use and oppor-
tunities.-Ernest Ingersoll in The Cos

Congressman Grimes. who .epresents
the Fourth Georgia district, toll couple
of stories very pertinent TO tie subject
and which greatly amused his auditors:
"ln the latter part of 1868, said Mr..
Grimes. "a young man who lived in La
Grange Ga. became possessed d the sum
of $500 in Confederate money He was
of thrifty turn and wanted toadd to it,
With that purpose in view he Invested his
money in bar'l of whisky THIS he sold
by the drink, and at the end of the week
had disposed of the whole barrtl and had
81 200 in hand. net profit of 500. The
young man was highly elated He saw
his way clear to fortune in a short time.
"0f course he decided to buy more
whisky at wholesale and sell it by the
small measure. but he had not taken into
account the wear and tear which the
credit of the Confederacy had suffered
during the week which it had taken him
to sell out his barrel Whenhe went to
invest in another supply he found that he
could not make purchase similar to his
first one for less than 81 500. The financial
fluctuations involved in the transaction
knocked him so completely out that he re-
tired permanently from commercial life
and hired himself out as an agriculturist.
" htu MS hGtItIS ndu AAtlloutW Laughing
at this story, Mr.. Crimes gave them the
other one. 1T was in the same town
La Grange-and in the latter part of
1864, he said. lone old gentleman there
who had persistently predicted the failure
of the Confederacy was one day deriding
the currency that was then 50 plentiful
and of such little value He said that it
was so worthless that nobody would even
steal it or pick it up if found on the street.
He pulled out 81, 200 bill-Confederate
money, of course-and declared that he
conld tack it with a pin to the fence
around the court house, leave it there five
hours, and that nobody would think
enough Of it to put it in his pocket His
offer was accepted. The note was pinned
to the fence and at the end of five hours
he and the man to whom he had been talk
ing went out to see what there was to be
seen" Mr. Grimes here paused.
"Well?' inquired Mr.. Allen, of Missis-
sippi.
THE $1,000 note was there, replied
Mr.. Grimes, and pinned beside it was an
other Confederate bill, the denomination
of which was So, 600 Atlanta Constitu-
ton

"Jerusha," said resident of West Spruce
street to the obedient hired girl, ''f anybody
asks for me this evening, just tell em I'm out
and you don't know when I'll return"
"Yes, sir, said the girl, as she bowed her
self out of the drawing room.
Five minutes later the door bell rang. "Is

"No, he's out" replied the knowing domes-
tic.
"Sorry. When will he be ing"
Cant tell, probably he won't return to-
night"
''Sorrv. I'm going to leave the city to-
morrow for a couple of months and had a
bill | wanted to pay him before l went
away"
"But he's out"
"No, I'm not" exclaimed the head of the
house, as he bounded out into the vestibule
Eyes, you are" said the man who wanted
to pay the bill You've gone away to stay
over night, or probably you'll be away two
OF three days. Maybe you've gone to Mime
sofa to look after some property, or perhaps
you have started for Florida to spend the
rest of the winter No, my friend, you are
not in, so can't pay you the money I'll

Then the man walked down the steps, in
forming himself that if there was ANYTHING

A Tale Which Shows That to Know 1t
All Is Not Always to BE Wise.
We were waiting on the depot platform in
a new town in Alabama and as the dozen of
US walked up and down some one espied a
wasps nest hanging on a bush across the
track. He pointed it out as wasps' nest,
but short, solid man, who had a head like a
cannon ball and jaw denoting great firm
ness of character, at once replied:
Il beg your pardon, sir, but you have
made the very common mistake of chasing
the wasps with the hornets. That is a hor.
nets nest"
And beg your pardon, sir, protested
the other, who was a planter, "but hornets
don't nest that way. They build mud houses
under the caves of old buildings, and one
won't sting you unless you pick him up. My
niggers declare that no wasp can sting if
he wants to, while, on the contrary, a hor-

He started for the woods and we followed,
and when we reached a safe distance and
looked back, the man with the iron jaw was
just cutting off the limb which held the nest
He held itup and called to us to come and see
it, but his call was followed by yell which
would have done credit to Comanche war
rior with double Adams apple in his throat
The big yell was followed bya series of hoots
whoops, exclamations and CALCULATIONS, and
these were accompanied by gymnastics of an
intricate character. He jumped lodged,
twisted and cavorted, and finally started
down the track on a gallop. Seventy min
utes later, and just as the train whistled, he
came out of the woods, dead lame, one eye
shut, his nose as big as his fist, and his head
bare.

Some Fifteenth Century Letters.

Some letters written in the early part of
the Fifteenth century have been sold at
auction in London Paper was then
precious, and the pieces are mostly about
twelve inches or thirteen inches wide and
from four inches to fourteen inches long.
The handwriting is like that used in Ger
many, kind of engrossing hand written
with wonderful regularity as to the lines,
which are about three-eighths of an inch
apart, and the ink is generally of good
dark color, very seldom at all faded or
changed into the rusty color of many doc
uments of much later date. The writing
is rather puzzling to any one not an adept,
but as we see how the ~" takes the place
of our ~, and the old spelling and the
old words are understood, the letters can
be read tolerably well. Chicago Herald

value Of the chlnese AImanac.

Recently the Chinese residents at
Lhassa, in Tibet, implored the emperor to
cause arrangements to be made which
would enable them to receive the copies
of their almanac at the earliest possible
date in each year This anxiety would
seem very curious, were it not the fact.
as we are informed by writer in The
Chinese Recorder, that the almanac is the
most important book to the Chinese.
Its space is far too important to
be occupied with the matter which
fills western almanacs. 1t contains
astronomical information which is
useful, but its great mission is to give
full and accurate information for select
ing lucky places for performing all the
acts, great and small. for their every day
life And as every act of life in China,
however trivial, depends for its success
on the time in which and the direction
ii. e., the point of the compass toward
which it is done) it is Of the utmost i'm
portance to the Chinese that every one
should have correct information available
at all times TO so order his life as to avoid
bad luck and calamity and secure good
luck and prosperity. Consequently the
almanac is, perhaps, the most universally
circulated book in China.-New York
