Is to require each county to es-
tablish a penitentlary for
female prisoners. These are men,
toned simply to illustrate the
nature of some of the stuff that is
evolved from brilliant legislative
brains.
Those who favored the repeal of
the lien law last year, having been
made to realize that the repeal will
have no effect, have endeavored to
restrict chattel mortgages to crops
that are up and growing, but their
endeavors failed in the House.
The bill to tax timber separately
from the land is likely to receive as
much consideration as any measure
that will be before this Assembly.
There is Il strong and growing senti-
ment that the man who owns the
timber ought to pay the taxes on it,
and not the man who owns the
land upon which the timber stands.
A bill, by Mr. Foster, making it
a misdeamor to point pistol or
gun at a person, has passed the
House and received favorable re-
port in the Senate. Such a law,
if enforced, would prevent many
wounds and death..
Mr. Bryan has two bills relating
to the stock law exemptions in
Williamsburg. One provides mode
for changing the line of exemption
fence south of Black river. The
other simply changes the persons
who may vote on the exemption in
the Cedar Swamp section from
resident freeholders' to free
holders.
Mr. Carter Is providing by a
bill way by which the Pros,
pect school may increase its levy to
nine mills. Mr. Bass has amended
this bill with MIR Carter's consent,
of course, so as to include the
Pergamos school.

Three WEEKS GONE

BY the GENERAL ASSEMBLY--N0 SERI-
Gus PURPOSE MANIFESTED some
MATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST.

The Capitol, Columbia, February
,1:-At the close of the third week,
(which is generally regarded as the
close of the first half of the ses-
sion, the General Assembly has to
its credit very little work ae-
complished, even less than usual.
On the other hand it is ahead of
any previous session in the number,
length and variety of frolics.
Rock Hill was first visited for the
ostensble purpose of inspecting
Winthrop. Then a picnic took
place in Charleston, which was no
doubt heartily enjoyed, for it is but
natural to enjoy such a picnic.
After this Clemson and Anderson
entertained the lawmakers and
gave them and those who ac-
.companied them good ..le. All
this is very nice from the stand
point of pleasure, but what good to
the State was accomplished? The
members Of the Assembly are sup
posed to be at work, to do some
thing for the benefit of the people
and not to fritter away the time in
idleness or in merrymaking. The
educational institutions which are
under State control should be in
spected, but the inspection should
be thorough and of such character
that it will supply reliable infor-
mation-~for the guidance Of the
Legislators in exercising control
and supervision of these institutions.

Aaron Hurr,s Grave.

Aaron Burr died at Port Richmond,
Staten Island. Sept. IA, 1886. His re-
mains were conveyed to Princeton, N
T., where, according to his request, he
was inferred at the feet Of his father
and grandfather. Both his father and
grandfather were presidents Of Prince
ton college.
Concerning the tombstone which
marks his burial place, we quote from
the history of his life by Parton:
Some efforts were made and some
money subscribed soon after his death
to procure a suitable monuments but
the project failed. For nearly two
| years the spot where he lay was IN
marked when one morning It was dis

granite and marble had been placed
during the night over his remains. Nc

The Great Rachel Made the ciaque

Speaking of applause in theaters, a
theatrical maj relates the following
concerning the great actress Rachel:
III seems that upon a certain OPEN
ing night Rachel received enthusiastic
applause. but on the second night it
was so neticeably slim that the actress
felt deeply grieved and bitterly COM
planned that the claque was not doing
its duty. The leader of the hired 'ap-
plause makers on hearing of her dis
pleasure wrote her a letter in which he
endeavored to excuse himself from any
blame.
".Mademoiselle-I cannot remain I'M
der the obloquy Of a reproach from
such lips as yours he began. The
following is an authentic statement of
what really took place: At the first
representation / led the attack in per-
son not less than thirty-three times.
We had three acclamations, four hilar-
titles, two thrilling movements, four
renewals of applause and two indef-
mite explosions. In fact, to such an
extent did we carry our applause that
the occupants Of the stalls We're scan
dalized and cried out a la porte!
"'My men were positively exhausted
with fatigue and e intimated to me
that they could not again go through
such an evening. Seeing such to be
the case, | applied for the manuscript

"A more BETTING designation would

pugnacious of all the bruin specimens
here. And he gets away with it. too.
although he weighs only $50 pounds.

bear in a fierce fight over a piece of
meat, and he gets the better of the
great YeZo bear of about 1000 pounds
in the adjoining Enclosure. They fight
through the bars. You a hear the
swapping of the big bears jaws as he
fails to catch his opponent. But the
nervous sloth bear is as quick as a

dig on the other ones nuZzle that
makes him snort with pain."-New

Salt and the Romans.

Splitting of salt is a superstition still
current among us. 1t is derived from
the ancient Romans. who used salt in
their sacrifices and regarded it is
sacred to Penates. To spill it careless
~ was to incur the displeasure of
these household divinities. After ac-
cidentally splitting salt the ancient Ro-
nan was wont to throw some over the
left sh~oulder-the shoulder of Ill omen
thereby hoping to call away from his
neighbor the wrath of the Deity and
turn it upon himself.
