OLIVER AFFAIR IN SENATE.
Senator TilIman introduces Resoiu- tion Calling for Papers Relating
 to Canal Bids.

Washing lu. March B. Senator Tulman introduced Saturday resoiu- tion calling upon the president TOT all the papers relating to the recent agitation of the question of having inc Panama canal built by contract, and in support of the resolution saio that Mir. Oliver had complied With all the requirements, and that ms bid had been rejected after a delay If month or more. He expressed dissatisfaction with the course Of the canal management, and said that his suspicious led him to believe that the intention had been to compel MT. Oliver "to let in some of his compeu- tors who were too greedy on the first bid"
 Senators Hopkins and Lodge made objection to the present consideration of the resolution, and under the rules of the senate it went over until an other day. Tn the course Of the dis' cussion Senator Carmack said that MT. Oliver had spent from $30.ooo to $40 900 of his own money in comply ing with the requirements of the ad mfnistratiOn

s.aouR DAY FOR OPERATORS.
Bill for That Purpose Will Shortly De
 Introduced in Legislature.

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-A bill to establish an eight-hour day for railroad telegraph operators whose duties pertain to the movement Of trains, will be intro duced in tue legislature shortly. It is backed up by all railroad operators in Arkansas, and they will make an earnest eff ,rt for its passage. A similar measure has been passed by the Maryland legislature, and has also been in' troduced in the Missouri legisla- ture aud has passed the house.
 One of the strongest arguments by the operators for the passage of such d law IS that they are worked hours of such length that they become exhausted and are unfit to properly perform the re- sponsible duties devolving upon them.
 The importance of the calling of railroad operators has been ac- centuated by the wreck on the Souther Railway last Thanks giving day in which Samuel Spencer, president ot that road, was killed, and the more recent disastrous wrecks on the Balti- more X Ohio and other systems. Public opinion on the matter has taken such definite form that many of the leading newspapers of the country are devoting con- siderable space editorially to the subject, and in every instance an emphatic demand is made for shorter hours for the railroad telegraphers.

peNmANsHIp OF THE GREAT.
Individuality in the Styles of Noseo
 Authors.

CharlotteN Bronte's handwriting seemed to have been traced With needle. and the penmanship of Dry ant was aggressive, well formed and decidedly pleasing to the eye. ThaeR- eray's writing was marvelously neat and precise. but it was so small that microscopic eyes were needed to read jt. Longfellow wrote bold. open back hand. which was the delight of printers. Joaquin Miller writes sucn a bad hand that he often becomes pug zIed over his own work. The hand writing of Capt Marryat was so mi croscopic that when he rested from bis labors he was obliged to mark the place where he left off by sticking a pin in the paper. Napoleons hand writing was worse than illegible. It is said that his letters from Germany to the Empress Josephine were at first taken for rough maps of the seat of war. Much of Carlyle's temperament may be read in his handwriting. He wrote patient, grabbed, oddly em- phasized hand. The chirography of Walter Scott, Leigh Hunt, Moore and Gray was easy to read and ran smooth ". It was not expressive of any es- pecial individuality, however. The writing of Dickens was minute, and the authors habit of writing with blue ink upon blue paper. with frequent ensures and interlineations. made his copy a burden to his publishers. By -on's handwriting was mere scrawl. His additions in his proofs often ex- ceeded in volume the original copy. To one of his poems which contained ,nly 100 lines in the original, 1000 gnes were added in the proofs.
