The Algerian Donkey.
COMESS IH SESSION.
The donkey in Algeria rarely has a
saddle. He has a pad very similar to
the pad on which the bespangled
queens of the sawdust ring dance their
short hour to the delighted boys and
rustics. The pad has no stirrups and
is so wide as to make a seat on it ex
tremely tiring to the uninitiated. The
Arab sits astride or sidewise, and as
the pad is rarely girted, or at best by
a slender rope, it is like walking a
tight rope or managing a birch bark
canoe to sit on it until you “catch on.”
Between this pad, which serves equal
ly for loading or riding, and the sad
dle of the Spahi there is a vast catego
ry of sizes and styles, all, however,
much too wide. A pair of stirrups are
often improvised by tying two bags
together, putting them across the pad,
turning in ono corner and thrusting
the foot into the pocket thus made.
The flimsy pretext for saddle or har
ness used all over the east would be
cast on the dump by the poorest
American farmer. He would not
risk his bones with it.—Colonel T. A.
Dodge in Harper's.
A Word Fitly Spoken.
Had she a daughter to train, said a
woman of the world, one accomplish
ment above all should be taught her—
to make herself agreeable without de
scending to make fun of other people.
Much if not most of the fun current
among young folks consists of picking
ot lers to pieces.
Bright people are given to use their
wit very freely upon others who have
the misfortune to come near them.
Women especially regard the world
outside their immediate circle as cre
ated to nfford them amusement, not of
the most amiable kind. They are not
discriminating enough to see what
underlies and offsets the peculiarity
which provokes their fun.
The ill dressed, hurried woman is
commonly trying to carry affairs
whose burden her critics whould
shrink shamelessly. No wonder if the
brave spirit steps awkwardly and un
becomingly under the load she can
just bear without breaking. Those
who bait their fun on her must laugh
and laugh again unheeding.—llousc-

Mistaken Anarchists.
Hugged Robert—“These ’ere an

git u battle-cry. Their ‘Bread or
Blood’ motto don’t creato no enthu

Wearie Willie—“Guess not.”

want ter stir up th’ hearts o’, patriots
to noble deeds, let ’em march through

Time to Retire Them.
Little Dick—“Auntio says all those
pretty things called bric-a-brac used
to be in regular use. I wonder w’en
they went out of fashion and got stuck
way up on mantle-pieces.”
Little Dot—“I guess it was w’en

Your correspondent was shown through the
spacious building of Iho North Georgia Agri
cultural College one day of la>t week,and was
very much pleased with what he saw there.
The entire building has been thoroughly ren
ovated and put in the best possible condition.
The greatest change, however, was noticed in
the rooms assigned to ti e Business Depart
ment which is a new feature of the school.
Here everything ha* been changed, improved
and perfectly adapted lo meet tlie neeus of a
first-class commercial training, together with
Shorthand and typewriting. In short, it is
the purpose of the trustees to make the course
here equal to that in any first-class business
college, and at a greatly reduced expense.
Experienced touchers have bten engaged and
no pains spared to make the department a
success from the very start. Parents who de
sire a place to educate their sons and daui.li
ters away from the allurements of a large
city, will find here wlin they have desired.

65th Day—The Yoorheos'cloture res
olution was not taken up Saturday
morning, as it was expected it would
be. If there had been a morning hour
it would have been laid before
the sennte in the ordinary course of
business. But there was no morning
hour, and there was no motion to take
up the cloture resolution. The silver
purchase repeal bill was taken up as
soon as a quorum was obtained and
Mr. Peffer continued the speech against
it which he began Friday of last week,
speaking to a listless and inattentive
audience.
66th Day.—The silver purchase re
peal bill was laid before the senate at
10:30 o’clock Monday morning. Mr.
Stewart gave notice of an amendment
for a Pan-American monetary confer
ence to assemble at Washington with
in nine months and for the adoption
of a common silver coin to be a legal
tender in all commercial transactions
in the countries represented. Mr.
Jones resumed the floor aud continued
his speech against the bill at the point
where he left off Saturday.
67th Day.—The senate met at 10:30
o’clock Tuesday morning and soon af
terwards took up the silver purchase
repeal bill, Mr. Stewart resuming the
speech which he had been making
Monday when a recess was taken and
which he had begun several weeks ago.
The bill authorizing the Chattanooga
Western Railroad company to con
struct a bridge across the Tennessee
river near Chattanooga was passed.
Mr. Stewart then resumed his speech,
aud at 12 :30 o’clock, without conclud
ing his speech, yielded the floor, and
Mr. Jones, of Nevada, resumed his
nrgument against the bill, after which
the senate took a recess till Tuesday.
68th Day.—The senate met at 11 a.
m. Wednesday and proceeded to busi
ness without a preliminary call to ob
tain a quorum. A resolution was of
fered by Peffor directing the judiciary
committee to investigate the question
whether the repeal of thoBland-Allison
act by the Sherman act did not leave
the law for the free coinage of silver in
full force. It was referred to the ju
diciary committee. The house joint
resolution tendering the acknowledge
ments of the government and people
of the United States to foreign govern
ments which participated in the Chi
cago exposition, was reported by Sher
man, from the committee of foreign
relations, hut went over without ac
tion. The silver purchase repeal hill
was then taken up, and the senate was
addressed (in opposition to the bill) by
Pugh. Pugh made a speech on re
peal aud silver generally. He did
not believe that either the un
conditional repealers or the president
had any desiro for free coinage of
silver by international agreement or
otherwise, nor did he believe it was
their intention to endeavor to secure
the adoption of anything of that sort.
Stewnrt followed, and in his remarks
thanked the southern democrats for
the brave stand they had made against
fearful odds. The joint resolution,
tendering acknowledgement to for
eign governments for co-operation in
the Chicago exposition was again
taken up and passed—amended in ac
cordance with Hoar’s suggestion, so
that the president is requested to com
municate to each of the foreign gov
ernments the acknowledgements of
congress.
69th Day.—After the transaction of
some routine business in the senate
Thursday morning, by unanimous
consent the silver purchase bill was
taken up, the vice president stating
the question to he on Mr. Peffer’s free
coinage amendment. The senate was
addressed by Mr. Teller, who pro
ceeded to discuss the causes of finan
cial depression which had existed iu
all commercial countries of the world
since 1873, and the duration of the
depression which was, he said, unusual
and abnormal.
THE HOUSE.
65th Day.—In the house Saturday a
bill to divide the eastern judicial dis
trict of Michigan, in northern and
southern divisions was passed. An in
teresting discussion of the financial
condition of the treasury and the
country followed. The house then re
sumed consideration of the printing
bill, which was completed and as
amended it was reported to the house.
On the passage of the bill the vote
stood 71 to 3. Mr. Beltzhoover made
the poiht of no quorum, and the ayes
and nays were ordered. It resulted
148 to 8—no quorum. Thereupon, at
3 :05 o’clock the house adjourned.
66th Day—The house resolution,
providing for disposal of certain funds
belonging to “Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints,” at Salt Lake
City, was returned from the senate with
an amendment, specifying the manner
in which it should be distributed for
charitable purposes. The amendment
was concurred in. The bill was taken
up, the previous question having been
ordered, and passed—yeas 167, nays
17.
67th Day—In the house, Tuesday
morning, Oates favorably reported
from the judiciary committee the bill
to amend the naturalization law of the
United Stat s. A bill passed amending
the revised statutes so as to provide that
the engineers and assistants engineers
of vessels engaged in coastwise trade
shall be liscensed. Consideration of
the bankruptcy bill was then resumed,
Mr. Denson, of Alabama, speaking
against it on the ground that it was a
speeies of paternalism and opposed to
democratic doctrines.
68th Day.—In the house, Wednes
day, McRae called up the bill to pro
tect the public forest reservations, re
ported from the committee on public
lands, the speaker having ruled that
it may be called as often as the com
mittee is reached in the call for busi
ness. The point of no quorum was
raised and the morning hour expired
without the appearance of a quorum,
and the bill went over, and Oates
moved that the house resolve itself in
to committee of the whole for consid
eration of the bankruptcy bill. Outh-
waite, of Ohio, took the chair and Lane
addressed the house in opposition to
the bill. Coombs, democrat, of New
York, offered a resolution, outlining a
plan for a tariff bill and instructing
the ways and means committee to
bring in a bill in accordance with its
provisions. Referred to the commit
tee on ways and means.
69th Day—When th£ house met at
noon Thursday, prayer was offered by
the Rev. Mr. Smithson, who referred
to the death of the chaplain of the
house, the Rev. Mr. Haddaway. Mr.
Richardson offered a resolution ex-
preesing the regret of the house and
authorizing the appointment of a com
mittee of seven to attend tho funeral.
The resolution was adopted.
Preparing for tlie Campaign.
A. T. Goodwyn, chairman of the
state executive committee of the
Jeffersonian democrats of Ala

of the committee at Birmingham on
November 16th. The objects stated
are to formulate plans for the next
campaign. The third party people
will co-operate with the Jeffersonians.

Notes of Interest Concerning the Peo
ple and Their General Welfare.
The senate committee on judiciary
attempted to hold a special meeting
Wednesday evening upon the call of
the chairman to consider the nomina
tion of Mr. Hornblower to be justice
of the supreme court. There was,
however, not a quorum of the com
mittee present.
Mr. Brawley, of South Carolina,
was heard by the banking and curren
cy committee at a meeting Wednesday
in favor of his bill to suspend the tax on
notes called clearing house certificates,
in South Carolina. He said these cer
tificates were cashed in the form of
notes. No one has suffered by their use
and stringency has been relieved by
these certificates.
The removal of Rear Admiral Stan
ton by Secretary Herbert from his
command of the United States fleet in
Brazilian waters, for saluting the flag
of Rear Admiral Mello, the Brazilian
insurgent leader, was the sole topic of
comment among naval officers Thurs
day. They are mortified and disap
pointed at his action and do not hesi
tate to so express themselves. What
ever may have been Commodore Stan
ton’s explanation for his conduct lias
not yet been divulged at the navy de
partment.
There will be no delay of action
upon the silver bill in the house when
the measure reaches that body from
the sennte because of the want of a
quorum. General Tracy, chairman of
the steering committee of the repeal
ers in the house, has been looking af
ter the matter. With the aid of the
house officials and postmaster and as
sistant sergeant at nrrns, he made an
account Wednesday night which show
ed the presence of 260 members of the
house in the city. This was a surprise,
not only to him but to others.
Working on the Turin.
The ways and means committee com
pleted the first rough draft of the
tariff bill Thursday. Though it is not
made public it is known that there has
been a heavy cut all along the line iu
all the schedules. The only increased
tax on anything in tho bill is that on
whisky, which will be increased from
from 90 cents to SI. 10 on the gallon.
It may be as high as SI.20 when the
bill is finally completed. An increase
of beer tax has also been decided upon.
The sugar bounty will be repealed and
a very small tax put upon raw sugar.
The tax, however, will not be sufficient
to increase the price of sugar. Of
course the big cut may have n bad ef
fect upon the revenue, but the com
mittee will try to make up this differ
ence either by nn income tax or au in
heritance tax. If an income tax is
provided for, incomes of $5,000 and
over only will be taxed.
Pence Keigns Supreme.
Both in the senate and in the lobbies
Wednesday was a quiet day. It is gen
erally conceded on all hands now that
the Voorhees bill and amendments are
to be voted on. Senator Faulkner is
making a strong effort to rally a ma
jority for his amendment, but the
leading senators do not think it possi
ble to pass any amendment which has
been offered. Senator Morgan has
stated that he intends to intro
duce au amendment to repeal the
10 per cent tax on state banks
and to discuss it before a vote is taken.
It is understood that a majority of the
senate is in favor of this. The demo
crats are committed to it, but the
leading senators tell me that many who
favor the repeal of the ten pier cent,
tax on state banks will vote against it
as an amendment to the Yoorhees bill
in order that the president's recom
mendation that the unconditional re
peal bill without amendments or at
tachments shall be adopited.
Silver Men Inclined to Give \A'ny to a Vote.
Whatever be the influence of Mr.
Cleveland he is pracfically the winner
now. Victory for tho anti-repealers
has been turned into an unexpected
surrender, aud the situation now
is favorable to the passage of uncondi
tional repeal, though experience has
demonstrated that the situation may
change again at any minute. The scenes
about, the senate Tuesday were as lively
and exciting as those of Monday. When
the senate met and up to the hour of
noon, the southern senators as well as the
western silver senators were as firm as
during the night sessions of two weeks
ago. Senator Harris announced to
Mr. Dubois in the lobby that he and
his southern colleagues would see the
universe destroyed before they would
submit to saddling of this infamy upion
the people. Mr. Dubois replied that
the silver senators of the west would
hold out eternally if the south
ern democrats would stand by them.
Shortly after this interview, Senator
Vest, Senator Cockrell and Senator
Harris went into a committee
room together. They consulted
for half an hour. When they
reappeared Mr. Harris immedi
ately sought Senator Dubois and in
formed him that lie and his friends
would abandon the fight and allow a
vote to be taken.
The Voorlu t*s Bill.
There are twenty-seven amendments
to the repeal bill which have been in
troduced in the senate as “intended to
be offered.” It is not generally be
lieved that a very large pier cent ige of
them will be ordered. Upion this con
tingency will depend the time of the
disposal of the bill after the voting is
begun. Following is the full text of
the Yoorhees bill which will be substi
tuted iu the senate for the house bill:
That so much of the act approve 1 July 4,
1S90. entitl d "An ac‘, directiu" the purehsso
of silver bullion and the issue of treasury,
notes .thereon, and for other purposes,” as di
rects the secretary of the treasury to purchase

pate amount of 4.5 0 004 ounces or so much
thereof as may be offered iu each month at
the price thereof not exceeding one dollar for
three hundred and seventy-one and twenty-
five one-lmndre tths grains'of pure silver, aid
to is-ue in payment for such purchases treasury
notes of the United States, and the same is
hereby repealed.
And it is hereby declared to b: the policy of
the United States to continue the uso of both
gold and sifver as standard money and to c in
both gold and silver into money of equal imrin-
sie exchangeable value, such equality to be se
cured through international agreement or by

inson, of North Carolina, publishes

greatly exaggerated and that in his
opinion it will not equal the last crop.
He believes that if the farmers will
hold it the price will go to 10 cents,
or perhaps more, and declares that
they hold the key to the situation.

‘August
Flower”
“ I have been afflicted with bilious

tried, but to no purpose. A friend
recommended August Flower and
words cannot describe the admira
tion in which I hold it. It has given
me a new lease of life, which before
was a burden. Its good qualities
and wonderful merits should be made
known to everyone suffering with
dyspepsia and biliousness.’’ Jessb

Honor Dear Old Mother.
Time has scattered the snowy flakes
on her brow, pilowed deep) furrows on
her cheeks, but is she not sweet and
beautiful now? The lips which have
kissed many a hot tear from the child
ish cheek are the sweetest lips in all
the world.
The eye is dim, yet it glows with
the rapt radiance of a holy love which
can never fade.
Oh, yes, she is a dear old mother.
Her sands of time nre nearly run
out, but feeble as she is they will go
further and reach down lower for yon
than any other on earth.
You cannot walk into midnight
where she cannot see you; you cannot
enter a prison whose bars shall keep
her out; you can never mount a scaf
fold too high for her to reach that she
may kiss and bless yon.
In evidence of her deathless love,
when the world shall des2>ise and for
sake you—when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed—the dear
old mother will gather you up in her
feeble arms, carry you home nnd tell
yon all your virtues until you almost
forget that your soul is disfigured by
vices.
Love her tenderly and cheer her de
clining years with holy devotion.—
Bugle Call.
Keeping Lemonade “Just Right,”
At a lawn p>artv tho lemonade table
came in for most generous praise.
Throughout the hours of the enter
tainment the huge punch bowl, p>ack-
ed with ice, ladled forth a rich, re
freshing drink that never weakened
into the insipid iced sour water that
fair lemonade is apt to become after
the first hour. The presiding genius
of the lemonade stall was a well known
New York woman, and to an inquiry
as to how she so well kepjt ns the
standard of her wares she replied,
showing a quart jar of clear lemon
juice, “I keep one or two more of
these in reserve and add it by cupfuls
os the ice weakens the drink, pjutting
in more sugar, powdered of course,
constantly.” And the result was per
fection lemonade at all hours.—New
York Times.
