A Chinese Puzzle.

Speaking OF matters Of import
ance yet pending in the general
assembly, the Little Rock Dem
ocrat says:
"And prohibition, a n O + h g \
source so prolific of legislative
dissertations in the early days OF
the session, has been taking a
vacation longer than the average
summer trip. A diagram Of the
position of the various measures
introduced since the session
opened and"their .journeyings on
the records of the two houses
would make a Chinese puzzle
look like an interloper, and it
would be difficult to find a single
member of the general assembly
who, after the Kaleidoscope
changes witnessed in the course
Of the various measures 80 far,
would venture a "dead sure"
that any Statewide measure will
pass this session."
