DECEMBER II.

The House to-day worked with
will and accomplished the greatest
amount Of work for one day of the
session:
All Senate bills on the calendar
were omitted from consideration, and
the calendar was taken up.
The general appropriation bill was
taken up, passed third reading with
some slight amendment and was
ordered sent to the Senate.
The bill making further regulations
about the admission of patients to the
lunatic asylum was passed, as was
also the bill to provide for the
establishment of State reformatoy
for youthfuE criminals, and the bill to
prevent the exposure of children to
fire and other danger.
The bill to forbid the three-quarter
clause to be attached to fire insurance
policies got through all right after a
battle.
Josh Ashley made what he termed
Che eight of his life" on his bill to
prohibit the hiring out of convicts to
be worked on farms of private indivi-
duals.

DECEMBER Is.

The appropriation bill was before the
House on Saturday and the econmists
proceeded to cut nearly every appro-
priaslon.
The salaries of the quarantine officers
at Charleston, St. Helena and Port
ROYAL were cut down about one third.
When the South Carolina College
appropriation was reached, an amend
meut was offered to make the appro-
priation $4,000 instead Of $21, 900,
as recommended by the committee.
The recommendation was reduction
from $4,000
Quite number of able arguments
were made by the friends of the college.
They showed that the college was doing
excellent work and needed every cent
asked for.
Mr.. Hough, reformer, said be wish.
ed to reduce the appropriation to such
figure that the college would have to
close.
On an aye an nay vote the recommen-
dation of the committee was adopted.
The Citadel appropriation was also
fought, and the committees recommen-
datiou was cut from $4,000 to $15,-
900.
Tom Miller the "canary" member
from Beaufort endeavered to have the
entire appropriation for Clafin cut of.
The motion was rejected.
At tbe night session the cutting con-
tinued. The appropriation for the
State Fair was denied.
An effort to cut off the appropriation
for the girls college failed. Mr.. Bre-
zeale moved to increase the appropria-
ton for Clemson College from $l5, 900
to $4,000, but the motion was laid on
the table
Several bills to make appropriations
for the payment of special pensions to
needy and wounded Confederate SOL
diers were made, and a hot debate
resulted. The motions were all killed
on the ground that they were in the
nature Of special legislation.
The printing bill was discussed at
some length Mr.. Thomas made a
motion that the expenditures for print
ing should not exceed $4,000. His
motion was killed on the plea that it
was impossible to fix any amount for
the printing owing to the fact that the
Constitutional Convention will be held
during the summer.
The following bills Of general inter-
est we're introduced.

right.
The Thomas Duncan resolution mat
ter was disposed of by the adoption
Of an ingeniously prepared report
from the committee on ways and
means.
A motion was adopted limiting all
speeches to five minutes, and prohib-
iting members from speaking more
than once upon the same subject, ex-
cept by permission of the House.
At the night session the bill max
ing appropriations for the payment Of
the expenses of the General Assembly
was the special order. The recon-
mendation was for $4,000, but Mr..
Breazeale moved to amend by insert
ing $4,000 This amendment
would have had the effect of cutting
down the pay OF members to 81 per
day. This was touching the mem.
bers on tender spot and there was
fierce fight at once. The opinion
of the Attorney General was sought
in hope that there would be some
legal excuse for retaining the S. per
day. But his opinion left this matter
to the will Of the General Assembly.
On an aye and nay vote it wss decided
to hold on to the S. by vote of 65
to 48. The members from Sumter
County voted for the reduction.

duced last night and made special
order for to-day.
The supply bill provides for State
levy of 4 liz mills exclusive of the
school tax
Sumter-3 mills.
The discussion of the metropolitan
police bill consumed the greater por-
tion of the Legislative day in the
Senate.
Senator Stanyarne Wilson led the
fight in favor of the bill and succeed
ed in carrying it through the SECOND
reading. The speech of Mr.. Wilson
was very forcible and urged the
adoption of the bill as necessity.
A large number of acts were rati.
fed, but the only bills of local inter-
est was the ones rechartering the
Sumter and Wateree railroad, and the
amendment to the charter of the city
of Sumter

The question as to whether Adam
was really the "6rst man of all the
earth, ;" and if 80, where Cain obtained
his wife, is still open for discussion,
says the ST. Louis Republic. There
are certain sects and creeds that
believe in pre-Adamite creation of
man. The advocates of this theory
believe that it is altogether probable
that the pre.existing races of the
human species covered more than
half of the habitable area Of the earth
at the time when God "breathed into
Adams nostrils the breath of life !;
and man became a living soul" If
this theory is not the true one, who
were the "sons Of God'' Genesis

tsthey saw the daughters of men that
they were fair 2" According to the
pre.Adamic theory, these "Sons of
God' were none other than the repre-
sentatives of race that had been
created prior to Adams formation

Waller, the great French anthro-
pologist, declares both the negro and
the Chinaman to be of the pre-Adamic

The late Sir Morell Mackenzie
told his cigarette-smoking patients
that they should smoke their clga-
rettes through a tube, when he
promised that the smoker will get ali
the good effects of the soothing plant
without the bane which turks in it.
The cigarette tube, in fact, acts as
condenser Of the nicotine alkaloid.
1t has been found, however, that a
small plug of wool inserted in the
mouth end of a.cigarette has the same
effect, while piece of natural straw
around the mouth.piece keeps the
cigarette so cool that. while the
woolen anti-nicotine plug efectually
guards the throat, chest, lungs and
general health, the lips are also pro-
tected from poison, swelling. infam-
nation, blistering, burning, smarting,
irritation and other injuries medi.
