PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
More Bills on the Calendar Than Could
be Reached by june.


HARRISBURG, March 25-Beginning to-
morrow bills may not be introduced in tho
house unless by unanimous consent Sena-
tolial courtesy has prevented the senate
from making such rule, and 1t is likely
that bills will continue to pour into that
body until near the close of the session.
Unless important, the measures which
may hereafter be offered will never see the
light Of day. There arc now more bills on
the calendar of both bodies than can be
coached before the middle of June, and the
chances are that the legislature will not
get away before that time.
Special calendars will be made for the
appropriation and revenue bills still In
soininittee. judicial and legislative ap-
portionment bills have been agreed upon
and are well advanced Tho congressional
and senatorial apportionment measures

they are expected to pass. Tho judicial
apportionment bill will be considered by
the house on a special order on third read

will go through with opposition only from
the Democrats.
The bills to encourage the use Of wide
tires on wagons and repealing the law in

The DEVILS Race-course.
; BY WlLLIAM G. HILL.

Away up in the. Gnmberlands Of
Tennessee is a cove known by the
odd appellatiye Of the Fiery Gizzard,
which is a long and tortuous ravine
in the mountains, terminating in an
abrupt wall or cliff. High on the
plateau is a strip Of land, twenty five
or fifty feet wide, and quarter of a
mile long, entirely destitute Of trees,
bushes, or vegetation of. any kind,
but gtpeWn with rocks water worn
into most fantastic forms and blasted
as if by supernatural agency. More
over, it is surrounded ON all sides ex-
eeAt that of the cliff, by gigantic
pines Of the, gloomiesC and densest
foliage, which stand IN as regular or
der as sentiRcIs, Fancy the half
moon peerlpg with ghostly brilliapcy
oyer the tops Of these trees a faint
wind signing moqrnfdllY like a bod

nal GRAND, and you will have the
continual expectation of bcholding
the Devil and his pack Of bowling
fiends rushing in full cry down this
desolate and eerie opening,
It seems that some years ago there
was a strange old man resident in
these mountains. His life was sim
pie and lonely, for rarely did he see
any one beyond an occasional hunter
or band Of wandering Indians. His
cabin was remote and hidden, and
the only sound that broke the still
ness of the vast domain of wood a.
round was the waterfall which roared
and rumbled, untrammelled by any
Of civilizations structures. Its inter-
ior presented a strange appearance to

CHANGED for the first time upon this
strange place, and as.there was plenty
Of water and game near by, he deter
mined to camp there for the night.
It was the 9th. of November, 1893.
The night was frosty, with a sharp
and penetrating chill, The only
sound was the dropping Of nuts and
acorns upon the dry leaves, or the
distant howl Of a wolf, or the cry of
a catamoqnt Unbroken was the
stiffness of the forest by any echo
from civilization. Not an axe had
yetlnade clearing, and the rihe-shot
Of the hunter was the only sound
which the Scared cliffs repeated that
betokened the presence Of man.
The:old trapper was accompanied
by an Indian boy Of some sixteen
years, sinewy and tall, with flashing
eye and swarthy cheek, who sat in
the light Of the glowing fire cleaning
the lock Of his rifle, with his head
bent over in earnest attention, The
elderly man was reclining upon
heap Of furs, gazing at the embers
with distracted looks, and now and
then turning his attention to some

alarm, hastily grasped their rifles and
peered OFT on the rocky course.
Then there came floating down up
Oh the wind, a motley group. Three
devils, black as coal, with unquiet
and strangely burning eyes passed in
silences and then shrieking, yelling
crew Of distorted shapes, headless,
legIess, all incomplete, all hideous.
Some changed their forms as they
passed, and seemed to revolve upon
the ground, AMI then winged horse
with curving claws for hoofs, and
snorting fire from his distended nos

by a iibbering skeleton which was
seated upon the crupper. With a

hurled onward, pursued by a shape

more productive Of quiet contentment
than conversation,
The sun had long since set behind

peeped out from behind the nebulous
masses that foated swiftly over the
sky under the impulse OF a driving
wind. For the wind had risen since
sunset, and caused tie dry leaves to
seury around and around in the
darkness like imps at play, while
sometimes a handful or two would
fly through the fire, catching a-Aame,

A Precious ilcrlttGe for the Blacks
The New York Tribune In abiding to
the death Of Frederick Douglass winds
up It's article as follows:
Frederick Douglass eloquence as an
orator and his power as political leader
lent dignity and honor to the black race.
In his own career OF self. development he
illustrated the possibilities OF intellectual
progress among his own people. No
child could have been either less promls.
ing or more ignorant than the Maryland
slave boy. whose master did not believe
in teaching 'niggersr their letters; yet hs
became the representative man of his
race In America by virtue OF self help.
The child who studied the carpenter's
marks on the planks in a Baltimore chip
yard was father to the man who, In his
best estate. was regarded by good Judges
as the equal OF Phillips. Everett, Sumner,
Beeoher and Curtis as an orator. The
youthful ardor which inspired his esca pc
from slavery and his self education in
New England was the same invncible
force OF character which dlracted his
career as the intellectual leader OF de-
pisod race. The inspiration OF such life
ought not to end with death in an honor.

weekly review of trade says: The sur
prising success Of the new loan and the
great confidence II has given to investors
on both sides Of the water and to business
men here encourage many to hope that 1t
may be the beginning Of real recovery.
In twenty-tw minutes here subscriptions
are supposed to have been at least five
times the amount Of bonds offered, and in
two hours at London they were twenty
times the amount there offered.
Considering the power which control Of
these bonds gives to regulate foreign ex-
changes and to, prevent exports Of gold,
the transaction has indeed greatly changed
the financial situation, in spite of the fact
that the government revenues are stiu de-
1cient and that domestic trade shows
scarcely any gain as yet The industries
are not enlarging production, nor have
prices of farm products improved. But a
very important source of apprehension
and hindrance, for the time at least, has
been removed.
