LETTER FROM THE CAPITAL.
Proceedings Of the Legislature, Political
Gossip, Men and Measures.

The forty-secoud general assembly
bids fair to be characterized by . spirit
Of harmony that seldom marks the
proceedings OF a deliberative body.
Unless the republican members take
the advice Of the Globe Democrat and
birds of that feather and obstruct legs
lation without reason other than that 1t
is being offered by democrat there will
hardly be any serious disagreement.
The democrats Of both houses are
united and of one mind, they are pro-
ceeding carefully and %metbodically and
the result is that they are having no
trouble about agreement. Speaker
Whitecotton broke a precedent and
was elected unanimously. In the
senate Senator Ruby was nominated
unanimously. Both are men in whom
the people have confidence.
In both house and senate the clerica
force has been reduced to the last
notch consistent with the smooth
transaction Of business. The presiding
officers are making up their committees
during recess and on Monday will be
ready to them, and the real
work of a memorable session will then
have begun in earnest. Some few
measures have been already introduced,
the bills asked for by the metropolitan
boards of trade and relating to insur.
ance were among the very first, and
they will doubtless provoke a long
debate as there is assuredly two sides
TO the question.
The nominations for United States
senator occupied the attention Of the
Legislators Of both parties the first of
the week-the republican situation en-
crossing more attention than the dem
ocratic situation, which all on the
ground conceded to be settled. The
stories sent u and dated from Jeffer-
son City purporting to tell about
democratic differences were made out

imous vote and without opposition will
testify. During the evening of the
caucus Speaker Wh~itecotton took the
floor and denounced a press story Of a
disagreement between himself aud
Governor Stone.
The sympathy of the Legislators was
6ttingly expressed to Governor Dockery
in appropriate resolutions.
The republican caucus nom
nation for United States senator
was al exceedingly warm affair.
Federal o%fficeholders Of great and small
degree were here for several days
begging the different republican legis.
lators to vote for Kerens or Nagel, the
Atkins candidate, and after a prolonged
wrangle the republicans gave up the
fight to be decent and nominated the
trust candidate kerens. There were
charges against the Akinsites of buying
votes with federal patronage and
against the Kerensltes Of boodle-sc

ResourcefuI MINOR Pond.

Major Pond was never upset in diff
culties. Once he was travelling with
Ian Maclaren. There was a break
down on the railway and the prospect
of q lecture engagement being missed
and $1,000 lost. What he did was to
telegraph a long and merry message to
the audience about the breakdown. say
ing he and Ian Maclaren would be ar
irving not more than half an hour late.
Singing was provided to entertain the
audience. When the half hour was up
in came another telegram more cheer
full than ever. saying that they were
coming along and that Ian Maclaren
was determined to lecture to that au-
dience If all the railways in the world
had broken down.
The Americans are an emotional peo-
pie, and they were interested. Every
twenty minutes in came a fresh tele-
gram with something funny and bright
about it and always declaring that the
great novelist was advancing. 1t was
half past 10 when the couple reached
the platform. and the welcome given
them was hilarious.

General Cassius VI. Clay fought many
duets in his day. usually with his long
bladed knife, meeting pistol or rifle
equally with that trusty weapon. His
physical strength was gigantic. He
was accustomed TO the use Of weapons.
and he was always cool and never lost
his judgment. For example, when an
adversary shot him and be supposed he
was done for he inflated his lungs to
the full, conscious that he would live
as long as he could hold bis breath;
then lie drew his knife and did his
bloody work. That was when he killed
Turner. After all, speaking musingly,
reviewing his life, he confessed to n re-
porter when he was above eighty-four
that he was opposed on principle to the
duel, thinking it a savage way to settle
a difficulty. But there are some cases
for which it seems to be the only RENE.

A story told by the late Commander
Edward Barrett, Z. 5. n, shows that
plated ware when no longer useful for
mess purposes on war ships can be de-
voted to the service of diplomacy. Ac-
cording to this story, some American
navy officers. wishing 10 conciliate an
African potentate named King Billy,
presented him with a discarded soup
ladle and a lot of gay ribbons. This
so delighted the dusky sovereign that
when he came aboard the ship to make
a visit in state he wore the ladle tied
on the front of his ample person with
the v%ariegated ribbons and also wore a
dilapidated s%tovepipe hat.

Natural weather VINE.

1t was an old belief hat if the pre-
served body of a halcyon or kingfshcr
were suspended by a thread from the
ceiling it's bill would always turn to-
ward the quarter from whence the
wind was blowing.
Thus Barabas in Marlowe's Jew of
Malta" says:
"But now how stands the wind?
Into what quarter peeps my ~halcyon's
bill?
Ha! To the east? Yes
Shakespeare also alludes to it in
'King Lear when Kent in his reply to
Cornwall rebukes those who
Turn their halcyon's beaks
With every gale and vary of their mas
ters.'
In more modern days a stuffed king
fisher has been seen hanging from the
beam of a cottage ceiling at Botley,
near Southampton, and in other places
of that neighborhood, where there is a
kindred belief that if a dead kingfisher
is hung up by its beak its breast will
turn with the ebb and flow of the tide.

Helen had beer only a few days in
the house where Walter was the seven
year-old son and heir when it was per-
fectly clear that she had made a deep
impression on his already susceptible
heart. one afternoon he brought a
footstool and, placing it in front of
her, asked her if she would marry him.
Helen was a little more than four
times as old as Walter, and her un-
married state was a matter of keen in
terest to her friends. She looked at the
boy grayely for a moment and then
said.

offhand, Walter. You will have to wait
and give me time to think it over

Very queer fish are caught in the wa
tiers of Puget sound. One kind is called
the candlefish. 1t is dried and packed
in boxes like candles. We are told the
fishermen use them to light their homes
and that at one time all the boats on
the sound used them instead of sperm
oil lamps. BY putting the heads of the
fish downward in a ~candlestick and
lighting the tail. which. in conjunction
with the backbone. acts as a wick, it
burns like a candle. They eat this fish.
and when cooking it is so fat 1t fries
itself.

WHY Rest L. Necessarx.

\ belief lives strong in the hearts and
minds of the majority of mankind, in
Guiding persons of weak digestions,
that a quick. brisk walk taken before
a meal gets mp an appetite and helps
the stomach to digest the food. Now,
this is exactly what it doesn't do. Elk
ercise spreads the blood throughout the
body. For the proper digestion of food
the blood is needed in the stomach.
Few realize this important fact. After
a long. exhausting walk, bicycle spin
or any severe physical or mental strain

USES FOR NETTlES.
They Are Good to Eat and Furnish
Thread and Clothing.

There was 4 time once when the
common nettle was not the usually de-
spised weed it is now. People did not
root It u of existence or shun it as O
nuisance, but cultivated 1t for use as
food, for clothing and for paper manu-
facture.
1t certainly does not look inviting as
a food, and yet during the Irish famine
hundreds of poor people existed entirS
by on it, cooking the young plant as
green's. There was a method of blanch-
ing it by 'earthing up" as is now used
for sea kale.
Animals, while refusing to touch the
growing nettle, devour it eagerly when
made into hay, and in Russia, Sweden
and Holland it is moved several times
q year for fodder.
The Common name given to the nettle
i'm some languages means that with
which one sews,' for the fiber was
used as a thread several centuries ago.
In Kamchatka the natives use the
thread for fishing lines and cordage. In
France it is used for paper. In Hindu
stan and China it is woven into grass
cloth, and the Scotch have prepared,
spun and woven it into as good linen
as the fax makes.
