Georgia Legislature.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. S.-The passag @ by
the lower house of the Georgia logisla-
turc of the two bills presented by Ma ior
Bacon, of Bibb county, affecting rail-
roads, caused widespread interest
throughout the country. This accounts
for the gathering here of prominent
railroad magnates. Among those pres
ent are William p. Clyde, of New York,
president of the Clyde Steamship Com
pany; M. ii. Smith, of Louisville, presi.
dent OF Louisville and Nashville rail-
road; j. w. Thomas, of Nashville, presi-
dent OF the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis road; Henry Fink, of Now
York, receiver OF the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad; A. B.
Andrews, vice president of the Rich
mond and Danville road; Mr.. Walters,
OF the Atlantic Coast Line Il. c..
DLbignon, of Savannah, attorney of the
Plant system: Reuben Foster. one of the
receivers, and Hugh L Boud, counsel

the Western and Atlantic road, and T..
Is. Stahlman, traffic manager of the
Southern Railroad and Steamship Asso.
citation.
These gentlemen are unanimous in
! the opinion that if the Bacon bills al
ready passed by the House arc passed
in the Senate and become laws, the
damage to railroad' in this State will
be incalculable. Ono OF tho Bacon bills
provides a penalty for "wrecking" rail
road property; another provides for and
controls tho issuance of bonds, regula-
ton of schedules, etc This afternoon
the railroad men present went before
tho Senate committee to argue the
passage of the bills. Bacon was also
before tho committee and spoke in favor
of the bills. The statement that prior
to two or three years ago nearly every
railroad in the State was in pros porous
cor dition and on good paving basis,
and since the roads have passed out of
control of Georgians and have become
leased and made parts Of other systems
they have gone into tho hands of re-
coivers, brought out from tho railroad
men the reply that this was due to too
much competition.
Roads which had been previously
prosperous had been crossed and re-.
crossed to such an extent that they were
no longer paying investments, and tho
revival Of the growth of the State must
be looked forward to before the alleged
evils would pass away. Business, they
said, has fallen OFF everywhere, and
they claim that the passage of the bills
would prove paralyzing to the railroad
interests OF the State. The outcome OF
the Scnate's action is looked forward to
with tho greatest interest by railroad
men all over the country.

a Public puel.

In the case Of the trial for murder
which is going on at Naples the deceased
some time before his death fought duel
with man who is now one of the pris.
oners. At the hearing the other day one
of the Witnesses, government official,
said that on the day of the duel he went
with others to meet the carriages COM
ing back, for cat Palermo every one
knows everything, and the carriages re-
turned as If from festival, and the peo-
pie waited to see them"
The public minister asked the witness
how the news of the duel being about to
take place was known to the public.
Witness: '.First by the Malta in fixing
on the place and hour. 1 have never
seen such duel; people went as If to a
feast,>and every one knew of it. Per
haps the circumstance that an officer
was fighting had some influence, and
that therefore the authorities did not
prevent it."-London News.

Colonel Richard Bright had remark
able experience at Woodmont, on the
Potomac, while fishing for black bass.
He was casting with minnows of mod
crate size and was slowly reeling in a
small bass, when hungry three FOUNDER
shot out from his concealment and bolted
the hooked fish bodily. The colonel be-
came aware of the augmented strain on
the reel and, by careful management,
landed his double prize. The small bass
went into the maw of his big cannibal
brother smoothly enough, but his sharp
spines stuck in the throat of his captor
and made escape impossible. The two
bass were presented to the National mu-
scum, where they are preserved just as
they came from the Potomac, the tail of
the small one projecting from the mouth
of the larger. The weight of the two is
81 pounds. Necessity knows no law"

THE SONG or THE FARM.

The poppies that peep from the wheat at morn.
With pearls of the night dew glittering still,
The shadows that race DER the waving corn
And the shy little runnel down under the hill,
The hoary old orchard whose trees are bent,
And the clover fields where the honeybees
swarm.
Cry, Come to the cradle of calm contentl
Come see Mother Nature at home on a farmi
-Here are pillows of meadow whose waves are
so sweet
They perfume the air; here are mountains of
hay;
Here are little winds lost upon oceans of wheat,
And butterflies shipwrecked in hollyhock
spray;
Here is peace in the air and a smile in the sky,
And never a fear of deception or harm.
From the cares and the woes of city l4e fly
To old Mother Nature, who lives a farml''
And so the old song from the cherry tree tops
And arbors where Bacchus might gather a
treat,
From old fashioned sparrows that live in a
copse
And not In the dirt of an i'll smelling street,
From the bees and the kline and the sentinel cry
or the cock, whose shrill clarion BODIES no
alarm,
Rings out to the city folk ever and aye:
"Come back to Dame Nature; she lives on a
farm!" New York World.

Truth and Fiction.

Touchstone says that "the truest poet
ry is the most feigning." Without go
ing that length, we may affirm that the
construction of correct versification
gives a man so much to think of that he
cannot attend very strictly to the truth
of what he says. Blank verse of the or
dinary sort does not come under this
rule; it leaves the mind very free. And
hymns-Dr. Watts ruthlessly sacrifices
the sound to the sense; some lesser lights
sacrifice the sound without benefiting
the sense. But no one can read some
parts of Pope carefully-those lines in
which, in word or two, he sums up the
character or achievements of the nota-
bilities of his day-without suspecting
that an apt rhyme occasionally beguiles
the poet into IL more forcible expression
of admiration or contempt than he would
have given in prose.
The teller or writer of the story has
the impulse upon him so strongly to
make it n good story that it is next to
impossible for him to avoid modifying
its more commonplace features And he
adds IL little here and he prunes IL little
there. Point before precision is, it may
be feared, sometimes even the historian s
motto. There are veracious narratives
we feel bound to accept on the word of
our friends. We should not have be-
heved the stories had any one else told
them; as 1t is, we store them in our
memories as splendid illustrations of the
often quoted saying of the poet that
truth is stranger than fiction.-All the
Year Round.

There is strong desire On the part of
young Japanese to come to the United
States to acquire or perfect themselves
ir the English language and complete
their education. The welcome given to
earlier students has led many who have
entirely insufficient means to undertake
the iourney--to come, indeed, with
scarcely more than enough to pay their
passage to this country. Others, better
provided for, have no idea Of the in
creased cost of living here, while many
hope TO receive aid from persons who
may become interested in them here or
to find some employment while they are
carrying on their Studies.
The practical results are not always
fortunate, and many of the students re-
ferred to would be better off at home,
The reputation of having been educated
in Europe or America has a certain
value at present in Japan, however, and
the Japanese students are, almost with
out single exception, credit to their
native country.-Philadelphia Ledger.
