Indeed. the present Salzburgers have not quite given up the working in silk I stopped at the home of a venerable couple, where l saw the plain and well worn spinning reels used for this purpose. There is, however, no longer any weaving of silk in all tho region. The only article manufac- tured is fishing lines. These are of the finest and strongest quality, and are in great demand in Savannah.
 Some of the silk goods manufac- tured by Oglethorpe's colonists com manded a high price in the markets of the Old World. The queen of England on one occasion surprised her guests by wearing dress made entirely of the silk woven by the Georgia weavers. Rev. John F. Hurst in Harpar's.

The name of Durosier deserves to be historic as that of one of the bravest of French soldiers, although the noble young fellow who bore it saw but one battle. Timoleon Du- rosier was one of the first students admitted to the Ecole Polytechnique, and at the period of the invasion was gazetted to an ensignship.
 At the battle of Montmiral he chanced to be in attendance on the emperor at the moment when it be- came essential to dispatch an order to one of the generals of division.
 Napoleon, summoning him to his side, gave him instructions to deliver 1t without delay.
 Spare neither yourself nor your horse, sir, he said saernly, flor there is not a moment to lose, and return at once and report to me that my order has been obeyed.
 Durosier galloped away amid . shower of shot and shells, and within a quarter of an hour was again beside the emperor.
 You have behaved well, mon sieur,7 said Napoleon, when he had received his report You have a stout heart and clear head, though you are still only youngster. give you your captains brevet and attach you to my person. What Is your namef

An Example of Tact.

They were both going to spend the day in the rural districts, and they were armed with baskets, shawls and umbrellas apparently sufficient to carry them around the world. One of them was stout and the other thin. The stout one said;
 And she isn't dead yeti"
 'sNo," said the thin one. Badly as she has looked all these years she isn't dead yet
 Its funny" said the stout one, a little apprehensively But delicate looking ones sooften last longer than stout, healthy people

Now and then American papers have a paragraph to the, effect that Henry James, the writsr, is proud because he looks like the Prince of Wales. This is wrong. 1t is the other way about The hauteur of the prince is due to the fact that be knows he looks like Henry James.
 The other day Henry James was passing the house of parliament when the soldier on guard presented arms Mr. James looked about him to see who the salute was for, but he noticed there was nobody near him. After walking on a bit he turned and passed the sentry again. Once more the soldier presented arms. Mir James turned to him and said.

But I am not dead, assure your Such was the cry of an unfortunate man lying on the bed of sickness on beholding a couple of undertaker's assistants enter his chamber with a coffin, which they deposited on the floor. He was suffering from a severe chill and was very feverish and out of sorts, and the unexpected appear ance of the croquenorts with their lugubrious burden was scarcely cal culated to exercise an exhilarating effect on his spirits. The two men, who were out of breath with their exertions, and had not time to glance round the room, started back in alright as they saw what they i'm agined to be the corpse raising itself in the bed and with wild gesticula- tions bidding them tc'depart- They were about to beat [ nasty retreat, leaving the coffin behind them, with the conviction that they had had an interview with a ghost, when the in- valid's wife rushed m.

No snake. In the Ice Rsrloss.

There is not a lizard or snake north of the southern extremity of Hudson's bay. The summers there arc so short that these reptiles have no time to enjoy themselves even if the ground at a depth of two or three feet below the surface were not frozen all the year round, thus de priving them of a place to hibernate. Snakes and lizards cannot endure a cold climate, and latitude of s degs. north is altogether too frigid for hem.-Interview in St Louis Globe-Democrat.

EXCITING SCENE

In the French Chamber Attacks on

PARIS, Jan. 3l.-M. Bourgeois, minis
Ter Of justice, introduced ia the cham
Der OF deputies to-day a bill providing
that the authors of pnwarrauted at
tacks upon savings banks be punished
with imprisonment for a term mot
longer than two years and not shorter
than two months. ,.

some such measure had become impera-
tive in view Of the immenSe harm done

lous newspaper articles. Not only had
the savings banks been embarrassed by
these attacks, but also the national
credit had been weakened.
Deputy de Cassagnac replied that the
government must be going crazy on the
subject Of libel laws. The ministers
should look nearer home II they wished
to discover the cause Of disttust among
bank depositofs. Probably the news

ions which had undermined public con-
fdence centered upon the ministers,
especially upon those former ministers
who had squandored the money Of the
Panama company.
This statement evoked q tumult The
Republican deputies protested, the
Royalists cheered and applauded, and
N. Floquet shouted above the confusion
that he had been calumniated and the
day OF Justice was approaching. Deputy
de Cassagnac replied with violent gea-
lures, but HE words were lost in the
uproar.
M. Ribot deprecated attempts to
spread the belief that the savings banks
had suffered from a panic. The total
withdrawal Of deposits, he said, had
been small in view Of the amount left
with the banks, aud the etrong efforts
making daily to propagate general dis
trust. The people knew that behind
the savings banks was tho greatest Of
all French guarantees, the national
funds. Nobody could deny, however,
that the campaign against the banks
had done some harm and threatened
more. The government felt no great
anxiety but at the same time could mot
tolerate tho suggestions and HIanderl

WAsnINoToN, D. O., Jan. S1.-The
house resumed to-day in committee OF
the whole the consideration Of the
sundry civil appropriation bill.
When the paragraph making appro-
priation to continue the building OF the
library Of Congress was reached, Mr..
Enloe moved an amendment providing
that the chief OF engineers shall award
all contracts for material to the lowest
responsible bidder, and the preference
shall bc given to homo over foreign
products when material Of equally
good quality of home production is
offered at equal or lower prices.
The amendment was adopted.
In speakingto formal amendment
Mr.. Bland gave notice that he would
demand in the house. q yea and may vote
on the amendment relative to marble
for tho Congressional library. II was
plain to him that a Democratic house
which was opposed to protection should
not put itself up in favor Of Tennessee
marble and in opposition to Italian
marble. 1t was q protectionist propo-
sitiou.
Mr.. Buchanan, (Rep., of New Jersey,
thanked God that the Democratic
house even in a moment Of forgettui-
ness had done an American thing.
\ [Laughterl
Mr.. Enloe said that tho gentleman
from Missouri had lnisinterpreted his
amendment. II did not contain any
provision for the use OF Tennessee mar
BILE, nor did 1t contain any principle OF
protection.
Mr.. Do Almond offered an amend
ment suspending for one year the civil
service law so far as it applies to gov
ernment employees provided for by this
act. He asserted that the civil service
policy as practiced In this country was
fraud and sham. 1t was not based
upon manhood, upon conviction, and
did not require even fitness for the ex-
aminations were school boy affairs and
did not show q capacity or ability for
the work to bo performed.
The committee then returned to the
section relative to public buildings, and
shortly after adjourned.
