The ungovernable, turbulent tor
DadO from Texas wants to be Speaker
of the next House, and his violent dis
play of temper on Tuesday is a sample
OF the qualities he would bring to the
Speakers chair. The fact that he is
such a hot-heaGcd partisan would or
dinarily be considered a weakness in
a campaign for the S~peakership, but
the southern Democrats who are his
hackers seem to regard it with adj
miration as II OF his strongest quail
ifications.

THE WEATHER FOR FEBRUARY

following predictions for February:
The general storm movements Or
ganized during the last two days of
January will grow in violence as they
sweep eastward, reaching their worst
between the LIST and 3rd, inclusive.
On thclast day of January Mercury
passes its disturbing point, combining
on the same day with a regular Vul-
Fan period, and on February LIST with
q disturbing moo phrase. A warm
wave, developing rain storms and
attended by electrical phenomena, are
sur to result. On the south side of
storm areas dangerous storms need
not surprise, while to the northward
destructive sleet and snow billiards.
are apt to result. Paepare for the
period TO end in m OF the most gen.
crai and bitter cold waves of the
winter. The wires will suffer Woe
fully during the perturbations of this
period. Mark u earning for heary
sleet. The cold weather generally
relax, and much local storminess will
follow on and next regular storm
period. This period will begin to
feel severely the disturbing power of
the growing Venus pertur batior.
Very WARM temperature-enormous
rainfalls with thunder and lightning
in many places, turning TO snow and
followed at the close by extreme
cold. will be the natural order tor
this period. We name the 18th, 18th
and 14th as the days of greatest activ-
ity and danger. The extreme East
may not feel the full force before the
18th. Phenomenal fluctuations of
temperature-warm here and zcro

In agreement as to price, the case has been
in curt and now will have to be arbitrated.
The Athens Banner is authority for the
statement that Messrs Barrow & Thomas
of that place have given up the division
counselship of the Richmond and Danyill9
road. 1t publishes as a rumor that the
cause of their resignation Is disposition on
the part of the Terminal system TO reduce
the salaries OF its lawyers for economy's
sake.
The restoring of rates on the Western
and Atlantic railroad to cents a mile gives
the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus
railroad the naming Of the rate to Rome.
1t is seventy-ssven miles by the latter.
General Passenger Agent Sloan says he has
fixed the rate at So 81, which is cents a
mile. Hs says that is as cheap as southern
railroads can carry passengers, on account
of the sparsely settled condition Of the
country.

The Pinch OF Poverty is Upon Them

From the Ninsteenth Century.
He had soldiered for some three or four
months on pence a week, although the
minimum of pay allowed by the govern
ment was z pence. For a while he strug-
gled TO hold his footing. He would groom
his horse magniflcently and cheerfully ID
all his own allotted duty; then he would
volunteer for penny or twopence to work
for anv man in the barracks. Finally he
invented new method OF saving his beer
money.
He constituted himself slave Of the
library readiugroom, and fetched beer for
any one who would allow him first sip. 50
moderately did he avail himself OF this
privilege that he found universal acceptance
yet the pay was too little, and article after
article of his kit disappeared for ready
money. For awhile he managed to avoid
all general parades, but at last one Sunday
he was ordered to turn out on church
parade.
A more absurd figure was never seen ;
plume, chin-chain. gloves, spurs, all miss
ing, and nothing left but the foundation of
soldier. The sergeant major stood before
him with a look of thunder.

The Vernon Road Case Dragging Slow

The Vernon Road Case Dragging Slow
ly in the Superior Court.
The entire session Of the superior court
was consumed yesterday in the litigation
between the city and the Vernon Shell
Road Company.
Attorney Saussy consumed over four
hours in arguing for the road, and he read
numerous authorities TO sustain his position
that the city cannot compel the removal of
the toll gate without compromising the
company.
City Attorney Adams followed in strong
arguments as to the rights of the city. He
had not concluded when the hour for ad-
journment arrived, and the case was con-
tinued until this morning. Mr.. Adams will
probably be followed, on behalf of the city,
by Mr.. Norwood, ard it will likely be late
in the day before the case is given to the
jury.
The case is exciting considerable interest,
and there was quite gathering of specta-
tors during yesterdays proceedings.
