With these facts in view, tbe Glynn grand jury, which ad journed a day or two ago, appointed a committee on finance to inspect tlie books of county officials, and nlso is sued to thorn special instructions to in vestigate, as far as lay in their power and the limited time nt their disposal before adjournment of court, tbe much talked of bond issues. Til order to get n good start in tlie interost of temperance for the next session., Mr. MoQeboe introduced, on the closiug day of tho legislature, a bill to prohibit tho manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors in tbo state of Georgia. The bill provides that no spirituous liquors shall lie made or sold in Georgia, bnt physicians are al lowed to sell alcohol in quantities less than a pint, nnd they are allowed to prescribe and furnish whisky to pn tients under ectiifl treatment. 'J he bill further provides for submitting tbe question to tbe people at an elec tion to lie called by the governor, was referred to tbe temperance cow niittee and will come up at the next session of the legislature.

Tbe two most important questions which confronted tho state when tlie general assembly met, nnd for tbe solution of which there was almost universal demand, are still in the form of problems.

Charles A, Chapin Mntle IMoh by n Pr..- ent Erntn III. Creditors. Charles A. Cbapin wns a merchant in a small way in a little villngo in the Ujjpor Peninsula nf Michigan (where Alofie in Michigan is iron ore found). In course of time Mr. Chapin failed in business, and turned over all of his property to his creditors and was left penniless in his old ago. At a meet ing of his oreditors iu Detroit it was by ouo of them remarked that “Any wny, Clinrley Chapin is an honest man, nnd I do not feel like tnrniug him out on tho world naked.” Among the proporty turned over to these credi tors was a quartor-seotiou of timber land thnt, if cleared, rocky though it was, might be made to produce n liv ing for tho old man nnd his equally aged wife. This tender-hearted cred itor proposed that tjiey should deed back this land to Mr. Chapin. This was done, aud in clearing up tho land iron ore was discovered'on it, nnd in course of time'the discovery became tbe celebrated Cbapin mine, of Crys tal Falls, Iron County, Miob. Mr. Chapin leased tbe right to mino ore to a Milwaukee (Wis.) company, with a provision that not less than eighty thouaaud tons of oro should be taken out each year, and an that a royalty of fifty cents a ton wns to be said out to bim. This royalty of not ess than $40,000 a year was duly paid to Mr. Cliapin for many years, making liim a very rich man, and he finally removod to Niton, Mich., where ho doubtless still lives. During one of the periodical depressions that over take the iron business Mr. Cliapin re duced his royalty, and I beliovo it is now fl;xed at twonty-fivo cents a ton. Tho output of the mine lias been enor mous; some years it lias been over eight hundred thousand tons, and last year and this year it has been over four hundred thousand tons, giving a royalty of over $100,000 a year.

It was discovered by Sohooten, 1616, aud named after his birthplace in tho Netherlands. It now belongs to Chile, although for merly it was owned by the Argentine Republio.

No matter bow fair tho weather may be on tho approach of a ship, it ohanges so suddenly nnd with such intensity that even the most trustworthy bar ometer fails to indicate anything but the preceding calm, tbe mercury act ing as if bewildered, rising and fall ing several inches in a few hours or remaining in a fixed condition. This indicates the disturbance of tho at mosphere when the wind blows Trom all quarters at once, a peculiarity of weather not equaled in the China Seas, when the typhoon rages and the barometer announces its coming. The phenomenon of one ship—where two were speaking each other in passing —sailing in fine weather, and- an other in a stiff gale, has been observed nt tbe same time.

Aided by the rioh ontpnt from an aotive waterspout, George Archer was able to produae the biggest pnmpkin grown in Maine this season. At tho fairs where it was exhibited re cently it was awarded $1^7 in cash prizes, and Mr. Arober earried home blue ribbons enough to start a mil linery store. Everybody who saw the pumpkin wanted some of the seed, but Archer, feeling thnt his native town demanded kiB loyalty, refused to sell, telling tho would-be purchasers that he had agreed to donate tho pumpkin, seed and all, to the village oharoli, wli'ck would hold a pnmpkin pie sooiable, at which time the seedB would be sold to the highest bidder, the proceeds to go the minister. The sooiable avus held in November. More than 400 persons attended, some ol them coming from Kennebeo County in order to bid on the pumpkin seed. When the meeting had been called to order and the minister had offered prayer Mr. Aroher started to carve the pumpkin with a big stick knife. He opened it with two strokes, and as he laid the hemispheres down npon a table a nest of lively mice scampered away among tbe andieuce, causing the womeu to leap on top of the pews and making an animated scene for several minutes. The mioa had not only spoiled tbe pumpkin for purposes of pie, bnt they had eatei^up all of the precious pnmpkin seed, for which the owner bad been offered $50 cash.
