duly acknogledged and recorded, was passed.
 The bill of MT. Haley, appropriating $1500 to refurnish the office of the state mine inspectors recently burned in Bir- mingham, was passed without debate.
 Publishing Local Laws.
 Mir. Benners called up the bill of Speaker Carmichael to provide for the publication of the local laws enacted by the Alabama legislature in some news paper published in the county to which the act applies. The cost is to be paid out of the general fund of the counties, the publication to be made once a week for three consecutive weeks, the rate to be charged 11s cents per word for the first insertion and 1 cent for each sub sequent insertion.
 Speaker Carmichael took the floor in support of the bill arguing that it is but fair that the people should know what laws have been enacted.
 MT Rushton of Crenshaw opposed the bill because he thought the cost would be too great.
 MT. Sherrod of Lawrence supported the bill as a good measure, as the people should be familiar with the law.
 MT Lee of Houston opposed the bill. as did MT Long of Butler and MT. Ballard of Autauga.
 Haley for It.
 MT Haley of Jefferson argued for the bill, and was followed by MT. Sample of Morgan in opposition.
 Mir Tunstall of Hale made a strong plea for the bill, urging the importance of having the people know their laws. It was as much the duty of the counties to publish local laws as for the state to pub fish the general laws. In order to meet with the approval of some members he offered an amendment to make 1t one in- sertion instead of three.
 The amendment was adopted, but a vote on the bill was not reached.

He like all the rest who opposed him, expressed great regard for Senator Miller, and paid tribute to him as an able and fearless man, who stood by what he thought was right.
 After the vote Senator Miller was sur rounded by many of those who had voted against him and assured that 1t was not against him. but in line with what they thought best for all. Though he lost the ovation paid him must have been very p,easing to the Jefferson senator.
 Money for State Fight.

It is reported that an opera house Is to be erected on the lot next door to the postoffee. The gentlemen at the head of the movement would not give out much information concerning it, but it is un- derstood that if arrangements can be made to get the right kind of shows book ed the building will be commenced in the very near future.
 Several attempts have already been made to have an opera house in Bessemer, but satisfactory arrangements could never be made with the people that put the shows on the road.
 The parties most interested in the pres ent movement are determined if possible, to secure the best shows that come south. and they appear to be confident that this can be done. They state that they are quite sure that such a place would be well patronzed and one of the main req sons given is that there are lots of people in and around Bessemer that would pat ronize the theatre regularly and the time it takes to go up to Birmingham and re- turn keeps them away.

Chinese Phrenology.

From the Chicago Tribune
Brain bag is the Chinese name for the
skull. and bumps and brains, in their no
ton, are Intimately allied. The skull is
considered to be most perfect when 1t is
round, with a tendency toward conf
cal rising at the top, the latter feature
indicating great intellectual powers. A
"hatchet" face, with broad, flat top to
the head, means vacillation and indie
cision. The most important parts Of the
skull are the forehead and the occiput,
which is called the pillow bone. A high
and broad forehead gives good hope of
long life. Bumps and depressions on the
occiput play an important part. Two
connected bumps low down at the back
part of the head denote a martial tenn
permanent. A bump nearer the top shaped
like an egg lying on Its side denotes
truthfulness and firmness; two similar
egg-shaped bumps standing on end, one
on each side of the head denote fiery
temperament and great self-confidence
two crescent-shaped bumps between these
last two denote longevity A thin. pointed
nose is a sign of suicidal tendencies. The
