Crops at Helena

HELENA, Ga. May 1O.-Ye yesterday fine
shower fell in this section. It has done q
great deal of good, as crops were suffering
for rain. Considering the weather, crops
generally are looking well. A few days
ago several prominent farmers were talking
about cotton, aud all but one admitted
planting more cotton this year than he did
last; and it seems to be a fact that in this
section, Telfair, Dodge and Montgomery
counties, there is an increase in the acreage
OF cotton planted; each one trying TO raise
enough extra to make up for his neighbours
snort "a crop.

In the House,

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Aftsr the refer
ence Of a few Senate bills and the granting
of a dozen leaves of absence, the House to-
day accorded an hour to the committee on
printing TO call up measures already re-
ported by IL.
Several joint resolutions providing for the
printing of the reports Of bureaus were
passed.
THE sUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
The hour given to the committee on
printing having expired, the House went
into committee OF the whole on the sundry
civil appropriation bill, the general debate
being limited to five hours. Mr.. Holman
stated that the amount appropriated by the
bill was $25, 1878 against an estimate of
s35. 1888. $50 and an appropriation for the
current year Of $3S, 1876 1868.
Mr.. Cogswell of Massachusetts found
fault with the bill because it cut the esti-
mates for necessary public service for the
purposes of party capital, and reductions in
this bill would cause increased expenditures
hereafter. The reductions were merely ar
bitrary and made by stroke of the pen
without judgment or any other method than
to make a present show of economy.
Mr.. Wilson of Washington found fault
because the appropriation for the survey of
public lands was totally inadequate.
Mr.. KEN OF Nebraska opposed any in
crease of the appropriations in the pending
bill and gave the House a lecture on ex-
travagance as exemplihed by the river and
harbor bill.
Mr.. Sweet and Mr.. Hermann spoke
against cutting down the appropriation for
the public land survey.
Mr.. Enloe criticised the appropriation for
a coast and geodetic survey.
Mr.. Dingley attacked the bill as not con-
forming to the requirements of the law and
as paving the way to large deficiency ap-
preparations at the second session.
The committee then rose and the House
adjourned.

A Railroad Argument.

WASHINGTON. May 10.-Judge Spencer,
representing the Hannibal and st. Joe Rail
road Company. to-day argued before the
to the interstate commerce procedure bill.
Judge Spencer'S argument in brief was that
the bill clothed the commission with judicial
powers and that congress has no right under
the constitution to do this. Ex-senator
Sewell, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, was present and was informed
that an opportunity would be given his
company to make an argument on the bill.
The measure has awakened great deal Of
interest on the part of the railroads and
they are vigorously opposing it.

All In the Family.


Last summer an actor who was going on
foot through a noisy part of London on Sat-
urday night came upon burly loafer who
was holding woman against a wall with
one hand while with the other he aimed ter
rife blows at her face, always, however.
stopping within an inch of her nose, but
naming at each feint dozen different kinds
of death that he intended tn put her to. The
actor is something of an athlete and he is an
American, therefore he sprang for
ward to rescue the woman from
her seeming peril, when a little old
granny stepped forward and said: "Go
way, young gentleman, this Is family
matter" AT another time the actor met
meek-looking woman crossing London
bridge. She had two very black eyes and
was shaking her head m0urnfully, while
she repeated to herself: mo. l wont never
do it again. Not never Not never so long
as live" On being asked what it was that
she would not do, she replied that she
would not interfere in quarrel between
husband and wife, for on trying to save
woman from being beaten the woman had
told her to mind her own business and had
punched" her in each eye.
