What Tho Legislature Did.

The legislature, according to a num-
Der OF newspapers, adjourned, having
accomplished little. Not much vas to
be done. A great deal could have been
done with a great deal Of money but
the members Of the legislature were
afraid to appropriate money that
could not be had without elevating the
tax levy and the young men who COM
posed itdid not for an instant dream Of
raising the levy unless the grim neces-
slty appeared. The legislature passed
the laborious child bill, arranged for
placing ten year convicts on the chain
gang, and granted permission to GER
tain parties to build a dam across Kin
lew erik. The Legislature also refused
to outlaw chicken lighting. They passed
a bill %forbidding betting at cock
fights. Cocks have a perfect right to
fight for their own diversion and are
not to be rudely interfered with. A
legislator must not bet on a cock fight
in any circumstances. Neither must
you or l. Nevertheless, we may attend
an occasional cock fight in o perfectly
innocent and lawful way, leaving our
pocket-books at home.
On the whole the legislature, COM
posed for the most of bright, cheerful,
rudy and smiling youths, did very
nicely. Many pretty little speeches or
spells were said and the sessions were
remarkably peaceful. We heard of
but one scrap and that occurred be.
tween a pair OF members who were out
side the state house and grounds. Al
ter all, men have the same right to
fight a cocks, SO they do not use CALVES.
