Closing Scones as Eaaclei in Boll Routine Work of the Last Bays of the Session. The house anil senate of the Georgia legislature adjourned sine die Wednes day night. For a time before adjourn ment the dignified members of both houses gave themselves up to merry making, and the fnu wns vast and fu rious in a mock session held in both houses, in which many hits at the dif ferent members were scored. Before the final adjournment of tho houseSpenker Atkinson was presented with a hand some oaken casket containing silver knives, forks and spoons, the presen tation speech being made by speaker pro tern, Boifenillet. Mr. Atkinson accepted the gift in a graceful speech, in which lie feelingly referred to the pleasant relation existing between him self aud the members. President Clay was not forgotten by his fellow senators and by the officers of the upper house of the general assembly. Before the session adjourned Senator Persons gained tho fioor on a question of personal privilege. He then pro ceeded in a very timely speech to pre sent to the president of the senate in behalf of the members and officers, a handsome solid silver tea service. Mr. Clay made an eloquent response to the senator’s remarks in accepting the gift. The president afterwards had some very pleasant words to say in bidding adieu to his fellow senators with whom lie had been associated for two years. THE HOUSE. Saturday, Dec. 9.—The chief busi ness of Saturday in tho house was the consideration of appropriation bills. The morning session opened with the consideration of a number of pension bills.

The bill appropri ating $100,000 to the state lunatic asy lum was read. This bill provides that $50,000 shall be available for 1894 and $50,000 for 1895.

The bill was unanimously recon sidered. The bill of Mr. Wheeler, of Walker, prohibiting the solicitors of any courts to collect a fee where no re turns are made by the grand jury was reconsidered. So was the bill of Mr. Pearce, of Houston, to make it penal for croppers to sell their products uuder certain condi tions. The first special order of the day was the bill of Mr. Pearce, of Houston, regulatiug the fees of con stables. The bill was discussed at some length and then passed by a good vote.

Tuesday, Dec. 12.—For a full half hour Tuesday morning the house of representatives, coming out of the beaten track of business, considered love atid marriage. It was a remarka ble scene, a prospective bridegroom responding with words of eloquence to the good wishes of liis fellow-members from all parts of the state; the pros pective bridegroom being Hon. J. G. Camp, from Douglas. The scene was brought about, by a resolution tender ing congratulations of the house, of fered by Hon. H. W. J. Ham. The bill providing how hearings in contested election cases shall be filed was passed by a good majority. (The bill changes the present contest laws by extending the time for taking testi mony.) Other bills passed were as follows: To prescribe the measure of damages to be recorded on forthcom ing bonds; To include Greenville in the list of places having state deposi tories ; To amend the law referring to seduction; Authorizing the fish com missioner to examine into the dam at Augusta and report to the governor ; To provide for reorganizing the mili tary staff of the governor; To advance $6,000 to Glynn county for her schools; Bill providing how legal notice of or dinances shall be published. The house, Tuesday afternoon, heard the report of the committee appointed to look into the matter of physical pools. Tlie committee reported that there was an association composed of nearly all the railroads in tlie south, and the physical pool was only an al lotment of cotton freights, with the intention to protect the weaker roads. The committee thought no legislation was necessary'. The following bills were passed : To reorganize the state militia of Georgia; To permit disabled soldiers to peddle in Bulloch county without license; To provide for a state depository at Quitman; To authorize the county commissioners of Liberty to publish the proceedings of that body ; Amending tlie lav/ relating to the jurisdiction of justice courts in districts having a population of 15,000 or more; Providing a new charter for the town of Wrightsville.

The conference committee on the school bill agreed on a report which will allow the teachers to be paid quarterly, and the house adopted the report unanimously'. The senate subititnte for the game bill of Mr. Graham, of Appling, was agreed to. The bill as it now is allows partridges, pheasants, wild turkeys and snipe to be trapped and killed in anveonnty in the state between the first of October and the 1st of April. Doves can be killed from the 15th of Joly to the first of April, and deer can be killed from the first of October until the first of Jan uary. Crows, larks, English sparrows, rice and wheat birds can be killed at any time. The bill of Senator Jenk ins making it unlawful to sell or so licit the sale of intoxicating liquors in any county having prohibition or high license, caused quite a discussion. There was a minority report, which, strange to say, was signed by a num ber of preachers. After a wild aud disorderly fight over the bill it was passed. An effort was made to adjourn sine die, but it was lost anil the house adjourned at 1 o’clock until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. IN THE SENATE. Saturday, Dec. 9.—The Kibbeebonil bill was killed in the senate Saturday. The house had passed the bill in favor of their payment,but they were knock ed out by the senate. There was a lively argument over the matter and able speeches were made on both sides. The vote was first taken on the amend ment which was to add interest, and was 16 to 19. So this motion was lost. Then came the argument ou the main question, which was extremely inter esting. On a motion to disagree to the favorable report of the committee the vote was— 21 to 14. Then, on the passage of the bill, it was defeated by the same vote. The state bank bill "(the Yeach bill) came up as the special order, and a highly interesting discussion ensued. On the passage of the bill the vote was 23 to 12, more than a constitutional majority. The bill of Mr. Hill, bear ing on mob law, was reconsidered after brief discussion. A joint resolution empowering the governor to bid in the Northeastern railroad for an amount not to exceed the state's endorsement anil the amount of the expenses in operating the roads was passed. The senate then adjourned until Monday. Monday Dec. 11—The first business that engaged the attention of the sen- iday morning, was a motion by Robbe to reconsider the ae- :he senate in passing the state ill. The motion to reconsider, ■ief discussion was lost. Sena- (kins made an earnest appeal ‘consideration of the vote by [the bill to pay the Hays-Seott bonds was lost in the senate y. He declared the honor and iy of the state was invovled in ffient of these bonds—that Geor- iem and should not repudiate :bt. This motion was also lost [bonds will not be paid, senate Monday-night passed Mr. j’s bill to pay the public school [s quarterly.

Wednesday, Dee. 13.—The senate was very busy Wednesday morning— or rather the secretary anil his assist ant were—in trying to clear tho desk of various bills reported by the com mittees. Most of the business was iir concurring in amendments to house bills and senate bills and hearing re ports from conference committees. The following bills were passed: A bill to amend section 2324 of the code relating to election of constables; A bill to appropriate $100,000 to erect buildings at the lunatic asylum ; A bill bill to amend the law relating to the inspection of illuminating eils; A bill to appropriate $2,000 to the State University; A bill to cede to the United States cer tain lauds for the purpose of construct ing public roads near Grnyjjville; A bill to amend tlie law organizing a state normal school for Georgia; A bill defining what is libel by newspapers; A. bill to compensate a special attorney for the state in investigating the rights of the state in lands along the line ol the Western and Atlantic railroad; A bill to authorize any court in this state to relieve necessities of confeder ate soldiers without placing them in the poor house; A bill to define what shall constitute a legal fence; A bill to change the name of Jng Tavern to Winder; A bill to make it larceny to take or carry away election returns; A bill to regu late fees of constables; A bill to pen sion widows of confederate soldiers who have died since the war; A bill to change the time of meeting of the leg islature from October to July of each year. Tho senate passed the resolu tions of Mr. Bacon. FINAL WORK IN THE SENATE. A resolution by Senator Reese, au thorizing tho governor to protect the right of way of tlie Western and At lantic railroad, met its death by being sent to the table. So did the resolu tion of Senator Clay, authoring the governor to compromise and settle all suits now pending, that involve this land, and sell the same when ad visable. The resolution of Senator Reese, authorizing competent at torneys to be employed in look ing iuto the claims of the state against the United States was passed. So was the resolution by Senator Reese authorizing the governor to bid in the property of the Northwestern rail road. Other bills passed were: To in corporate tho Brunswick, LaGrange and Western railroad; To authorize foreign notary publics and clerks of courts to attest deeds; To reduce the number of coroner’s jurors from twelve to six; To authorize the governor to appoint second lieu tenants of the Georgia volun teers from the graduates of schools giving military instructions; To pro hibit commercial notaries from issu ing garnishments; To provide for a state naval militia; To relieve those holding deeds as security for debts; To provide offices in the courthouses for county school commissioners; To provide for a state' depository at Ft. Gaines. The bill of Mr. Boifeuillet, of Bibb, to allow newspapers to ward off damage suits for libel when no in tentional injury had been done came back to the senate, which had tacked on an amendment making a paper lia ble for publishing an nrticle that was unfair or untrue. Tho house refused to concur in this amendment and a conference committee was appointed. The committee recommended that the senate recede from its amendment, which was done, and the original bill was passed. TRAIN ROBBERS CAPTURED. After a Long Pursuit They are Over hauled at £ustiu, Texas. A dispatch from Austin, Texas,says: After being on the trail of the Sunday night train robbers for over thirty hours, the officers and posse came into the city Tuesday morning, having be come convinced that the robbers were in hiding here. Their surmise was correct, for soon after their ar rival they succeeded in arrest ing Dick Wallace and Lum Denton. A good deal of money and a watch belonging to a passenger on the train was found in Denton’s possession. The third robber, Bill Bronson, was found in hiding below town. He re sisted arrest and the officers opened tire on him, wounding him seriously. He was brought to the city and put in jail. The fourth robber, Burleson by name, is making bis way to the west on horseback. Officers know of his des tination, however, and his arrest is only a question of a few hours. In times of scarcity tne soutn African natives sometimes rob the nests of the termites, and as much as five bushels of grain have been taken from a single test. THE HEWS IN GENERAL. Ccnteei from Onr Most Important Telepapliis Mms And Presented iu Pointed and Reada ble Paragraphs. The cold wave still throws itself to the breezes, 20 below zero being the average figure in St. Paul Wednesday. A gunpowder explosion took place Wednesday at Waltham Abbey, Eng land. One person was killed and nine fatally injured. Tlie sensational report circulated by au unreliable news agency that an epi demic of influenza prevailed in the house of Prince Bismarck is untrue. The Derby Cotton Mill at Shelton, Conn., started up on full time Mon day. The concern is now pressed with orders. The operatives have been on short time lor a number of months. A special of Monday from Panama to a morning newspaper in New Y'ork says: “A war between Ecuador and Peru over the boundary dispute is now absolutely certain and frill prob ably be declared during the week.” A San Francisco special of Wednes day says : The Oceanic brings news that the Japanese steamship Matsnye- marec struck on a rock while bound for Shonoharos, November 15, and foundered. Thirty passengers were drowned. Hon. Jeremiah H. Murphy, ex member of congress from Iowa, died at Washington Monday morning from dropsy. He served in the forty-fifth and forty-ninth congresses, and was well-known throughout the country as “Hennepin” Murphy, for his champ ionship of the Hennepin canal project. The German bark Elise, from Ham- berg and loaded with kainit, arrived at Charleston Wednesday morning. Hhe crossed Charleston bar drawing twenty feet and found twenty-two feet of water on the bar. This fact is note worthy, because Charleston bar has heretofore prevented the entrance of ships drawing more than eighteen feet. Argument opened in the circuit court at Milwaukee, Wis., Monday, in the ease of United States Circuit Court Judge Jenkins, charged with embez zlement and illegal banking. Judge Jenkins, represented by ex-Seuator John C: Spooner, urged the court to separate his ease from those of the other directors of the Plaukinton bank, in order that he may have a speedy trial on the merits of the case. A Chicago special of Wednesday says: The amount of cash secured by the bold robbery of Cashier Robertson at the postoffice Tuesday night is now estimated at $4,000. No trace of the robber has been discovered and In spector Stuart says that there is little probability that the man will be cap tured. The assaulted cashier is not so badly injured as was reported, but is confined to his home with a badly bruised head. The business of C. Aultman & Co., manufacturers of engines, threshers anil other implements, at Canton, O., has gone into the hands of receivers. The company, it is understood, is en tirely solvent, as its assets are not far from $2,700,000, while its liabilities are about $1,000,000. The applica tion for a receiver was made by Hon. Lewis Miller, of Akron, the president of the company. The tightness of the money market is supposed to be ac countable for it all. A Chicago dispatch of Wednesday says: The possession of the fact that Chicago is preparing to feed and lodge the hungry find homeless has caused a tide of ragged humanity to set iu from all over the country. Every freight train, the police say, is lieavy-ladeu with trampish-looking men. It is piubable that Chief Brennan will in struct details of police to meet all in coming trains and turn back the l.nn- derers. Those who refuse to go will, the police say, be arrested. HOWARD’S SCHEMES THOUGHTS OF TWE5TY MEN. Being Unraveled by Expert Witnesses. Ills Victims Testify. A Jackson, Tenn., special says: The trial of G. F. B. Howard, charged with conducting a fraudulent European claims agency in London, New York and JaCkson, Tenn., is progressing. The evidence adduced Saturday was very damaging to the accused. A num ber of parties duped by the scheme of William Lord Moore, London; E. Boss and Joseph Leger, New York, and G. F. B. Howard, Jackson, each of whom the defendant has been recognized to be, were placed upon the stand. They told a plain story of how, after Moore was suppressed in London, Ross, of New York, took up the correspondence on the subject and led them to believe that they were entitled to an inherit ance in Europe. When Ross was re ported “dead,” and notwithstanding most of them had paid Moore and Ross money, Joseph Leger, of New York, sprung his decree of the “supreme court of chancery” and asked $35 more. It is believed that immediately after the police of New York became too warm for Ross and Leger in that city, Rev. G. F. B. Howard returned to Jackson, where he had previously lived and took up the same correspondence dropped by the former named parties and he in turn collected money, as his alleged predecessors had done, for work in prosecuting mythical inheri tances abroad. This class of evidence, while there is nothing sensational about it, is knocking down the props that have supported the distinguished clerical suspect and he finds himself in toils that are hard to shake off. LIL IS STILL OUT. Latest News from Hawaii is That She Has Not Been Restored. The Austrian steamer Arawa arrived at Victoria at 8 a. m. Tuesday. She brings the following news: Queen Lilioukalani has not been restored and there has been no trouble in Honolulu. The Arawa left Honolulu Monday, De cember 4th, and was a fraction over seven days making the run. From the arrival of the last reports there has been but two things of a significant nature. The annexationists had a mass meeting ou Saturday, November 25, and adopted resolutions in effect ap pealing to congress ever the address of President Cleveland, Secretary Gresh am and Mr. Blount. For four days prececding the sail ing of the Arawa, the troops of the provisional government were busy for tifying the government house, or “The Castle,” as formerly called The work was being done with sand-bags princi pally. As the Arawa sailed from the harbor the troops could be seen from the deck of the steamer busi ly engaged iu keeping up breast works. it is estimated tnat tne cnincn Dug, Hessian fly, army worm ard cotton worm have cost the people of the United States more than the Civil War.

I doubt if one farmer in ten under stands the true feeding value of bran, and I always feel that I am doing the farmers good when I urge them to feed more of it than they do. It is valua ble not only because of the absolute food element it contains, but also be cause when fed with straw or other food deficient in the nitrogenous ele ment it enables the animal to digest them better. Many farmers—iu fact most of them—believe the light bran made by the roller process inferior to the heavy bran which we formelry got from the creek mills, but for most pur poses it is much better and a pound of it contains more nutriment than a pound of white middlings or even of flour. The bran from the hard spring wheats of the northwest is much lighter than that made from our winter wheat and before its value was learned it sold at very low prices, often less than $5 per ton. For many years past Mr. Brown has fed one-half bran and one-half corn ground with the cob when feeding for beef and has found it a cheap and sat isfactory ration. He feeds horses and cattle ou this food all winter and he is thoroughly convinced that the cob (ground fine) helps digestion and is worth more than enough to pay the cost of grinding tho corn. — Country Gentleman.

Many people sleep on the left side, and this is the most common cause' of the unpleasant taste in the mouth in the morning, which is generally attrib uted to to dyspepsia. If a meal has been taken within two or three hours of going to bed, to sleep on the left side is to give the stomach a task which is difficult in the extreme to perform. The student of anatomy knows that all food leaves the stomach on the right side, anil hence sleeping ou the left side soon after eating involves a sort of pumping operation which is any thing but conducive to sound repose. The action of the heart is also inter fered with considerably aud the lungs are unduly compressed. It is probable that lying on the back is most natural position, but few person can rest easily so, and hence it is best to cultivate the habit of sleeping on tho right side.— Worthington’s Magazine. Worth Remembering If you don’t want to be detested, don’t be a chronic growler. There is sometimes danger in not getting scared soon enough. The wrinkles of the heart are more indelible than those of the brow. More people are poor on account of bad management than on account of extravagance. The most extensive cemetery is in the catacombs of Rome. Over 6,000,- 000 human beings are there interred. Massachusetts has more incorporated cities of more than 10,000 inhabitants than any other state in the Union. Few persons have sufficient wisdom to prefer censure which is useful to praise which deceives them. — Roche foucauld. A difference between a knife blade losing its temper and a woman is that the former is becoming duller and the latter more cutting. There have been more remains of mastodons and other extinct mam moths found in Ichtueknee river, Florida, than in any other stream iu the world. The Maldivian islanders always eat in the most room, and carefully private close the doors anil darken the windows that they may be unobserved. The first souvenir Columbian half dollar which was purchased by the Remington Typewriter company, has been presented to President Higinbo- tham of the Chicago exposition. The famous Lion brewery at Mu nich has a hall that will hold 4,000 guests placed around little tables, where they can enjoy the celebrated brew of the place while listening to the bands. The historical collection of the Bal timore anil Ohio railroad, illustrating the development of the locomotive, and which was exhibited at tho Vorld’s fair, has been offered to the city of Baltimore by President Charles F. Mayer. So rapidly has been the growth of the German capital that the munici pality of Berlin already finds it spa cious town hall inadequate to its needs anil an adjacent plot of ground has been purchased at a cost of 5,000,000 marks for the erection of new offices. The British crown plate includes a peacock of precious stones, valued at £34,000, which came from India; a tiger’s head, with a solid ingot of gold for a tongue and crystal teeth, and a magnificant gold shield, valued at £10, 000, which was made from snuffboxes by order of George IY. We are responsible for what we do, and not for how we feel. It is the reply rather than the state ment that makes the quarrel. The sunshine of life is made up of very little honors that are bright all the time. Garner up pleasant thoughts in your mind, for pleasant thoughts make pleasant lives. If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man, I shall feel that I have worked with God. Do not let your sympathy evaporate in sentimental speeches, but set about seeing what can be done. The Columbian stamps will pass away with the Columbian year. Like the United States, they were too big to lick. CURES OTHERS? For Severe, Lingering Coughs, Weak Lungs, Bleeding from Lungs, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Consumption, in its early stages, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery is a sovereign remedy. It not only cures the cough but also builds up the strength and flesh of those reduced below a healthy standard by “Wasting Diseases.” Will not make fat folks more corpulent. B. F. Wiley, of Box Elder, Converse Co.. U r )jo., writes: “I had bronchitis for twenty years and over, and I could not work with out coughing so hard as to take all my strength away. I took five bot tles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery, and give you my word and honor that I can do any work that there is to do on my ‘ranch' without cough ing. I have not taken any of the ‘Golden Mr. Wiley. Discovery ■ for WHY N OT2 YO U ?

Senator Stanford and Womankind. Senator Stanford attested in two no ble instances the high regard in which he held womankind. His respect for woman in general he recorded by giv ing her equal rights with men in Stan ford university. His regard for her in particular he showed by bis will, iu which the great bulk of his fortune was left absolutely to his wife. A great many people are interested— some of them vitally—to see whether these two important actions will work together for good. Practically Mr. Stanford bequeathed Stanford univer sity to his wife. It is true he left the university about $2,500,009, but that is far from being a large enough sum to keep tho institution running on the scale on which it is conducted now. Happily Mrs. Stanford’s interest in it has alwuys been quite as lively as her husband’s. Yet it has happened before now that the man aud wife who have been one so long as both have lived have turned out to be a different one after the man has died.—Har per’s Weekly. Mother—“I wish you would rake up the dead leaves in the yard.” Small Son—“I’ve got a sprain in my wrist, an’ the rheumatism in my back, and growing pains in my right leg, and —and cramps in my left one, and head ache and toothache.” “After you have raked the leaves in to a pile you may set it ou fire and jump over it.” “Whoop! Where’sthe rake?”—Street & Smith’s Good News. XMAS MONEY Artistic Salt Cellars. Old fashioned salt cellars are here again, but in such artistic designs that we greet them as novelties. The silver eats and dogs, with their perforated heads, no longer stand gunrd over each plate at the table. Their success or is much more artistic. The very latest salt cellars aro bought by tho dozen. They aro shaped like a pansy, with the curled over petals in frost tipped silver aud gilt. The salt spoon is a tiny affair. Its handle is twisted gold, with the bowl an exquisitely shaped enameled pansy, which looks like a stick pin with a deep center. Tinted glass salt cellars encased in silver filigree are used by tho ultra fashionable.—Exchange. “This chickeu,” began tho boarder, timidly “That is Plymouth Rock, sir,” said the frowning landlady. “Ah! thank you ma’am. I knew it was rock of some kind.”—New York Press. 99 “German Syrup Judge J. B. Hill, of the Superior Court, Walker county, Georgia, thinks enough of German Syrup to send us voluntarily a strong letter endorsing it. When men of rank and education thus use aud recom mend an article, what they say is worth the attention of the public. It is above suspicion. “ I have used your German Syrup,” he says, “for my Coughs aud Colds ou the Throat and Lungs. I can recommend it for them as a first-class medicine,”— Take no substitute. ® DR.KILMER’S the G p£A T kidney,LIVERS Bl ^l R Pain in the Hack, joints or hips, sediment in urine like brick-dust frequent calls or retention, rheumatism.

Loss of flesh usually indicates poor as similation, which causes the loss of the best that’s in food, the fat-forming element.
