MANNERS IN STREET CARS.

The hog in the street car, says the
Chicago Times-Herald, is one of our
most alarming symptoms. He abounds
on every line in the city and is of all
sizes and ages. Miserable little pigs
who have founded themselves on his
model cling to their seats with sullen
faces and allow elderly women to
stand. The customary gallantry
which was imperatively demanded
here some years ago, and which Is
still imperatively demanded in many
places, has so far disappeared that
there is getting to be little regard for
either sex or age. The man who
makes 1t his invarlable practice to
give up his seat to women is stand
ing curiosity in more senses than one.

e STREAM.

With glance,
ethe growing flowers,
dreadful trance,
ecke6 not the passage of hours,
passions flood rose ever,
blowing for her and me,
Till the brook became river,
And the river became a sea.
Grief! 1t began with a word,
Grew with the winds that raved;
A prayer for pardon unheard,
Pardon in turn uncraved,
The bridge so easy to sever,
The stream so swift to be free!
Till the brook became a river,
And the river became a sea.
Lifei 1t began with a sigh,
Grew with the leaves that are dead
Its pleasures with wings to fly,
It's sorrows with limbs of lead.
And rest remaineth never
For the wearier years to be,
Till the brook became a river,
And the river became a sea.

TEMPER AS AN INFLUENCE.

Temper, says an authority. has i'm
mense influence on the tone OF the
singing voice. An ill-natured or
qnerulous person will invariably have
a catlike quality in the voice, which
is perceptible in singing quite as
much as in speaking.

Madison, March 2.-Among the COM
mittee reports to the senate were two
bills from the committee on privileges
and elections in response to portions
OF the governors message referred to
II, one for new caucus law, the other
prohibiting proxies in conventions.
The Judiciary committee reported
among other bills Nos. zoos, lois. 1O2s
and 103s, the bills taxing express.
sleeping car ana like companies. The
question of their constitutionality was
all that was referred to this commit
tee, and it reported them constitu-
tional. The feature of the evenings
session was speech by Senator Me-
Gillivray in favor of his patronage bill
which provides that the patronage of
the state shall be divided up among
the counties in proportion to popula-
ton. Senator McGillivray attacked
civil service as administered by the
federal government, characterizing it
as fraud. Senator bennett disagreed
with him on that subject.
In the assembly Mr. Overlook moved
for reconsideration of the vote bv
which the Orion child adoption bill
had been refused third reading. The
committee on railroads had reported
the senate's anti-pass constitutional
amendment with amendments. one
making forfeiture of Office one of the
penalties for accepting a pass and an
other permitting national guardsmen
TO enjoy reduced rates as now. Mr..
hall discussed the subject, speaking
especially in favor of the absolute ne
cessity of the forfeiture-of- office clause
to render the proposed constitutional
amendment effective. The bill and
constitutional amendment as coming
TO this house from the senate is a
fraud, declared Mr.. Hall. and abso-
lutely without virtue. The speaker
denounced as sham the senate provi-
sion in relation to the exemption from
prosecution of persons giving evidence
under the proposed law. II really af-
forded no immunity whatever from
prosecution and they would certainly
operate to prevent anti-pass testi-
mony ever being given. Mr.. Hall de-
mandeo that absolute immunity he
guaranteed and, in order that the
amendment might be properly drawn
and Include all needed changes, desired
that it go to the judiciary committee:
and there it was sent. Senator Jacobs

provides that where child has with
the knowledge or consent of the par
ent, been taken under 1 year of age
and kept years without inquiry
from the parents, it may then be
adopted without further notice to the
parents. The opposition was led by
Mr.. Germer, democrat of Wood, who
was supported by Messrs. Sturdevant,
Hall and Eline, who argued that it
was special legislation intended to
cover special case in Milwaukee and,
further, that the existing law on
adoption was sufficient. The present
law requires notice to the parents un-
der all circumstances or in lieu there
of the facts in the case must be
spread upon the court records in ''let
tiers of burning shame as Judge Or
ton put it. The latter said the bill
was calculated to cover no special
case, but &c operate in the interest es-
pecially of the waits whom angels of
mercy so often reclaim from the lying
in hospitals of the cities. He declared
that, simply because a woman had in
her youth lapsed from virtue, she
should not forever thereafter be OBJ
liged to wear scarlet letter branded
on her person. For his part he
thought the record of her shame
should be obliterated. The bill was
killed by vote of 81 to 40, after
Messrs. McGrath, Vandercook and
Keene had spoken for it.
The Dahl bill for a commission to
! investigate the Torrens land system
was, Mr.. Hall said, one of the impor-
tant matters before the legislature.
| The bill had been adversely recon-
mended by the committee on claims
because of the appropriation of $1,000
which it carried. He asked for a ref
erence of the bill to Mr.. Dahl, its au-
| thor, for an amendment eliminating
| the appropriation. Mr.. Dahl ex-
| planned the measure, and said that the
attorney general was willing to devote
/ himself to the preparation of a proper
| bill to submit two years hence. Then
| he went into the merits of the law.
| showing it was prodigious success
wherever tried; that SO per cent. Of
| the realty of Van Couver's island was
now under the Torrens system; that
Illinois counties were adopting it free
ly; that it cost only S24 to get a lan6
| registration under it; that the abstract
offices only opposed it and that one
abstract office alone in Chicago got
| $27l 600 annually out of the people by
| the old method. Mr.. Frost said that
in Australia 80 per cent. of the lands
advertised for sale had their titles
| guaranteed by a clause in the adver-
| tisement, thus showing that such
guaranty was regarded as valuable.
Mr.. Catlin favored the bill, yet NJ.

is thus given a chance to recast his
| measure. The bill making the Even
