A workman in the Senate BARRIERS shop in
| Washington is credited with saying that the
senators are the most peaceful" men to
snave he has ever met though some OF them
7 are very particular One senator he says, he
has twice shaved three times in one day, not
because his beard grows very fast, but be-
Cause the senator likes the sensation An
other 5nator has a pair of little side whisk-
ers OF which he is very fond and to which he
deVotes any amount Of attention" He did
not reveal all this to any senator, and to the
helpIeSS man TO whom ltswas communicated
l he said, with a despairing tone: You know
/ we are not allowed to talk to our senatorial
| customers unless they talk to us first"
The wine-growers of South Carolina are up
IN arms against the Tillman dispensary law.
I The say that in operation it is running their
| industry, and the growers Of Oconee county
| are circulating petition praying for the re-
/ peal OF so much of the law as relates to the
| man facture and sale of domestic grape wine.
/ Their argument is thataS consumers of their
! products are usually temperate people, and
as the customers Of the dispenSarleS buy
chiefly ardent spirits, there IS no longer
gOOd DOme market for their wines and IN
| less relief is extended they must got to the
/ wall Another Of their grievances is
mat the dlspensaries are selling cheap
OF the home industry. So hard has the
| condition of the ynsyardists become that
during the months OF last summer they were
cartlng their fruit to the railroad stations
and selling it to passengers at prices that
4 could not be remunerative, If Gov. Till
/ man. says local champion, desires to
! force the people to drink only his whisky at
double prices. or go dry; if the prohibitionists
] prefer impossible abstinence to possible tenn
/ perance then nothing will he done But If
| there be common sense in the legislature and
| a regard for the faith Of the a which
! these grape growers invested their money,
then the dIspeusary act will be amended so
| as to allow the sale Of native wines from the
| vineyards"

The fountain of municipal honor ia Eng
land, says the London Telegraph, undoubtedly
! springs from the Guildhall, London, which
J justly claims to be accounted the most ancient
( OF our municipal halls, seeing that the lord
mayors of the last eight centuries are with
! justt e assumed to have had prototypes in the
Roman project and the Saxon 'tortreye or
portgrave For considerable number of
years the robes OF the lord mayor. the court
OF aldermen and the common councillors have
| been settled with precision that none, save
/ the most reckless of innovators would pre-
, sumo to disturb. The lord mayor himself has
/ his gold robe for the occasion Of the annual
! Gutldhan banquet and for the time when he
( proceeds IN state either to the new law court
! or to the houses of parliament. The aldermen
/ have their scarlet gowns, the Shhrihs their
/ distinctive and very handsome robes and
! chains, while the common Councillors rejoice
in gowns called 'lnazarines, it being gener-
/ ally understood that M zarine is term for
| dark-Dlue color although, according to
. some photographers nazarine also
means drinking vessel and an old
/ way Of dressing fowls. Then, again, when
| the sovereign comes into the city the lord
mayor Is bound to don robe Of crimson or
| purple velvet, trimmed with ermine AT
the time of his investiture, he wears mas.
sive gold chain; but when he is honored by
re election at the exp ration of his term of
( ONCE he wears two cnainS. The mace of sill
| yergilt, surmounted by a royal crown and the
! imperial arms, is carried before the mayor by
| the authority of the charter of Edward III
| while the city possesses no less than four
| swords. one called the Pearl. " presented nv
, Queen BeSs when she opened the first rovaI
exchange, and so called from its being richly
set with pearls. The sword precedes the
chief magistrate on all occasions of rejoicing
and fest1ylty. The sword of state is carried
> before the lord mayor as an emblem of his
| sovereignty within the city proper; the
| black sword is used on fast days in Lent
| and at the death OF any member of the royal
| family. while the fourth sword is that placed
! close to the lord mayors chair at the central

| The special researches undertaken in CON
nection with the agricultural classes estab-
| l1shed in various centerS of the kingdom are
/ bringing TO light some important and inter

making, undertaken in connection with the
| Bath and West of England school, has done
! something to enlarge our knowled &c as to the
| origin of moldS in cheese. Hitherto little has
| been discovered as to the genesis OF these
| fungi In the course of the research il was

/ these were common varieties with one excen-

! mold appeared TO be the Oidium
! Lactls about which little that was not known
! could be found. DR. Warming professor Of
| botany at the University OF Copenhagen has
| expressed himself as uncertain whether this
! fungus curdled the milk or not, and to solve
! this problem a series Of tests were made At
| first, the fungus, when grown in milk iuvari-
| ably curdled 1t, but upon making slide of
| the curdled milk the bacillus Acid Tactic was
! always present. Finally, a pure culture of
! the fungus was obtained and then il was
| found to have no curdling effect uron the
milk To prove that the uncurdled milk con.
