Comparative Quiet Rsigns Once More :
New Corporations Notes.

| lonesome fashion around the Capitol.
| Monday, and several of the officers of
both branches were to be seen, busy
with the end of their winters work.
The calm and quiet SO characteristic of
the big building between sessions. had
settled over all, but there were numer-
GUS evidences on every hand that it had
not been ever thus. sWorkmen We're
busy thoroughly cleaning out the halls
of the House and Senate and getting
them in readiness for closing up. Elk
tensive repairs are to be made on the
Senate chamber, this summer, and
among other improvements a new CELL

process was also going on in the legal
and judiciary committee rooms where
the carpets were being taken up and a
general renovation in progress. The
Capitol restaurant is now deserted
empty room, Mr.. Viewer having re-
moved all the fittings, yesterday.
On all sides the regular occupants are
preparing to settle down to the routine
of their usual work, which the advent
of the law makers very much inter
rupts. The State House seems opprcs-
sively quiet after the crowd and hustle
of the session, and the department
heads and clerks say they experience a
most gloomy and lonesome feeling tina;
is hard to shake off.
The extra employees, engaged for
work about the building during the ses-
sion, will leave, Wednesday, and in the
| meantime are actively hustling with
the regular hands in the cleaning UP
process.
