French Bill Withdrawn.

Obj ctio1able features to senate bill
No. 6, French's registration bill were
removed in the senate when French
Crered a substitute which was adopt
ed. The substitute had been agreed
upon by a committee. of both parties
and removes the provis 'ols which
might have resulted in disfranchise-
ment of many voters had the orig
inal bill been enacted into law. The
bipartisan registrar feature is re-
tanned, but Otherwise the substitute is
almost wholly different from the bill
The registrars are given mere time to
&C work and an appeal is provided to
the county court first and to circuit
court next instead of direct to circuit
court A section providing that three
fres holders shall testify in behalf of
any person challenged does not appear
III substitute which in several ways is
similar to tbs present law The sub
sutute bill was ordered TO its third
read ng.
The constitutional provision prohib-
ting the legislature from amending
charters of towns below two thousand
was fatal to the bill in the senate to
take the licensing power out of the
hSTds of the city council of st. Marys
and vest 1t in the county court, though
Senator Craig defended the bill. The
population has decreased to 1858 and
majority of the senate voted to re-
ject the bill on that account.
The Road Commissioner.
With little objection from the Re.
publicans, house bill No. 2S5, abolish
ing the office of state commissioner
OF roads went from its second read

A Mere Fieurehead Now.
With the repeal of the state read
tax and the order to refund the money
acw in the state road fund to the re
spectiye counties which have paid In
the tax, the commissioner of public
roads becomes a mere figurehead
Without state aid, which the road tas
vas destined to supply, the commits
sioner OF public roads can do little
else than supervise the construction
ard maintenance of county roads. Sat
urday also marked the passage by the
hause at least OF two bills making
optional with the county the appoint
ment Of a county road engineer &c
that in many Instances it seems likely
that counties. especially those which

l never saw a masterpiece
On a cathedral wall,
But a long dim vista through the

Has held my heart in thra1l.
l never stood before a niche
The critics all adore
But l have seen the children play
Upon a cabin floor.
The painted pictures may be
grand
l am too poor to know;
But l have seen the ripping wheat
AS winds breathed soft and low
l know no art, and yet my heart
Is calmly reconciled,
For in the twilight / have seen
A mother and her child.

The old fashioned doctor all used to know?
The guide and the friend and the bread-pl
The fatherly doctor who helped to grow?
When old Dame Despair tried to fright he Knocked her
He held Death at bay with his unfailing cheer
oh, he was a peach the old fashioned doctor,
The chatty old doctor all held dear
The tender old doctor, the kindly old DOCTOR
The chubby old doctor all held dear.
Why now when feel all unhappy and ailing
You go to one doctor and he calls in two,
And then they consult in unavaing

And when you get through with this outfit hghbrow
You're than were-and your money is spent,
With the specialist highbrow, the Heidelberg hghbrow,
The highly fed hghbrow who sees it is spent.
And therefore I ask for the old time physician
Who dosed well for whatever went ill,
Who knew all your history, folks, and condition
And always moderate, in his bill,
Who wasn't, perhaps treatise concoctor,
But ushered in plenty of babes in his day.
