WAS IT "CARElEssnEssY

Stating It modestlv, there was
some carelessness on the part of at.
taches Of the last session Of the
Legislature. A Joint and concurrent
resolution amending the constitu.
ton, so as to leave out of the official
oath all that part which makes an
official swear q lot about not fight
ing duels, nor taking part in duels,
ETC., was passed by the legislature
two years ago, properly signed,
advertised, and published in the
statutes. At the last session it was
again up, according to the law IN
such cases, and was passed without
opposition. But it did not appear
in the final papers of the session.
No n having any Ak to grind,
little attention was given to the dis
appearance. After the legislative
business was all over. and the Tax
Commission had been using the
Assembly chamber for Offices for
months, L. F. Adamson, in getting
ready to move to other quarters,
found the bill among a lot of old
papers. He took the resolution to
Governor Oddie, who signed it, and
transmitted it to the Secretary OF
State. The bill not coming to the
Secretary in the regular way, and
at the regular time. he asked At
torney General Thatcher for an
opinion as to whether it was sufic-
iently regular to be put on the
off cal ballot to be voted for at the
coming election. Yesterday Mr..
Thatcher handed him his opinion
in writing, saying in substance
that, though the amendment had
not been properly transmitted the
journals of tn, legislature, showed
that it had been passed, the ayes
and noes recorded, and ali the
forms observed. 1t being the
manifest intention of the legislature
to make it p law, it should go on
to the ballots and be either passed
or rejected by the vote Of the peo-
ple.-Carson News.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT

The first stone Of the Washington
monument in the capital of the
country was laid by President
Polk sixty-six years ago today.
More than thirty-six years passed
before the cai-stone was set in
position in 1884. The height of
the monument above the ground
is 555 feet and is the Hottest
structure of its kind in the world.
However, it stands sixth in
height among the man built struc.
lures of the world. Eiffel tower in
Paris rises to nearly twice its
height, and even the 1OUO-foot
tower of which Frenchmen are so
proud will soon be surpassed by a

Argentina.
In New York there are four
buildings the WoolwOrth, Metro
olitan, Singer and municipal build
ings-whose topmost pinnscles are
loftier than the Washington monu-
ment.
The memorial to the father of
his country is only nine feet high
er than the Mole Antonelliana in
Turin, Italy, while the spires OF
the cathedrals at Ulm and Cologne
in Germany, approach it in height.
The highest point reached by the
builders of the ancient world was
achieved in the pyramid of Cheops
at Memphis, Egypt, which is 45O
feet in height.

SURPRISED THE CAPTIVE

In his "Reminiscences" General
Basil w. Duke Of the Confederate
army tells Of an incident he wit
messed Just after the close Of the
war:
Zone morning about 9 o'clock l
was sitting on the platform Of q
station waiting for my train when
my attention was attracted to .
squad of Federal soldiers who ha53
evidently been put on guard during
the night, and we're now getting
their breakfast. They were we'll
supplied with rations and seemed
in high spirits.
Just then l caught sight of q
lank hungry looking fellow who
was unmistakahy an ex-Confeder
ate. He wore a ragged, faded,
gray jacket with the buttons cut
off, q pair of most dilapidated blue
trousers and an old canvas haver-
sack, as empty as extra siderea
space, hung around his neck. II he
had eaten d square meal within six
months appearances we're deceit
full. He was partially hidden be-
hind a cotton bale, whence he
watched the Yankee spread with
eyes that threatened to protrude
across the intervening distance.
about the time l saw him the
'Yanks' ais" caught sight Of him.
They held a short consultation;
then one of them sprang up, start.
ed toward him and shouted out:
"'Hello, reb! Come this way
we want you!'
For some reason-perhaps be-
cause | was sick and peevish-I
conceived the idea that they wanted
to arrest. him and my blood boiled
with indignation at so totally an
unprovked act of oppression.
"The Johnnie evidently enter
tanned the same idea, for he began
a rapid retreat. A fresh summons,
however, REINFORCED by a volley
of threats induced him to turn and
approach the party with an at
tempted dignity of demeanor that
was ludicrous compared with his
hasty retrograde movement.
wien he reached the spot
where the grub was the Yanks
seized him made him sit down and
began to exert themselves to APP
pease his manifest hunger. | have
known some extraordinary feeders,
but | honestly believe l have never
seen any other two men eat as
much as that fellow did. He kept
at it steadily fo- no less than an
hour, while the Yanks aided and
encouraged him to the utmost.
He drank six tin. cupfuls of coffee.
He swelled visibly and I wondered
bow his frail garments stood the
tension.
when at length he finished his
captors cramm.d his weather beat
en- old naversack full of hard tack
end bacon and sent him on his way
rejoicing.
ut is scarcely necessary to say
that my own feelings in regard to
the incident had very materially
changed during its progress"
