Kind Hearts Beat Pretty Faces. Beauty is a recognized factor in the general rerard. It is amid that one of Leigh Hunts schoolmate* was so hand¬ some that, h«viug one day run against an old woman’s fruit stall and kicked it over, his good looks thus turned her abuse to admiration. “Where are yon driving to?” she cried. “You great, hulking, good for nothing—beautiful fellow. God bless yon.” But those who have the uucomforta ble art of winning favor, we kuow not why, are not necessarily beautiful. Who c&nuot name some plain feat¬ ured womau of his acquaintance who is adored by her family and sought by friends and acquaintances, but who would make a very insignificant ap¬ pearance in a gorgeous assembly or in after dinner conversation?

SESSION OF THE HOUSE. 1 23i> Day—T ho house, Thursday morniug, reconsidered the bill crea¬ ting boards of medical examiners for the state, refused to reconsider its ac¬ tion in passing the bill regulating ad¬ mission to the bar, listened to several speeches, passed au important educa¬ tional bill, passed a bill to relieve Confederate soldiers ertitled to a pen¬ sion but who have not received it on account of the money for this purpose being exhausted before their applica¬ tions had been received at tho pension office, and then adjourned until Friday morning at 10 o’clock. Soon after the journal was read, Mr; Hurst of Walton, moved to reconsider the Dill for medi¬ cal boards parsed Wednesday, ns he wanted to offer an amendment. Mr. Fouche, of Floyd, the author of the bill, spoke against the motion to re consider. A number of other mem¬ bers had somethiug to say on the sub¬ ject, after which the previous question was called. The call was sustained and the vote stood 81 to 77, aud the bill was reconsidered. Mr. West moved to reconsider tho bill regulating ad¬ mission to tho bar on account of the amendment to the bill providing that no one shall be admitted to the bar un¬ less ho possesses a reasonable knowl¬ edge of the rudiments of the English language. This also invoked a num¬ ber of speeches when Mr. West called for the ayes and nays. The call was sustained and tho vote was 68 to 80. The motion to reconsider was lost. An important bill by Mr. West, of Lowndes, was taken up for a tliirO reading. At the last session of the leg¬ islature a bill was passed to make the school year coincident with flic fiscal year and for other purposes. Mr. Fleming, of Richmond, offered as an amendment that $300,000 shall be taken from any fund in the treasury aud applied to the expenses of tin schools until the school money comes iu, when it shall be paid back to the fund from which it was taken. Mr. Fleming’s amendment \>mh adopt ed after considerable discussion and then the bill was posse 1 by a vote ot 129 to 1, and this means that the schools can be run exactly as they were run iu 1894 if the senate only agrees to the bill. The bill of Mr. MeCurry, of Hart, to benefit old Confederate soldiors eamo up for final action. It was a bill to appropriate $500, or so much as may bo necessary, to pay off tho pensioners entitled to draw a pen¬ sion, but did not do so on nccouut oi applyiug too late. Tho house resolved itself into a committee of the whol with Mr. Humphries, of Brooks, ii tho chair. Ou motion of Mr. MeCur¬ ry, tho bill was reported favorably and was passed by a vote of 150 to noth ing. The house then adjourned. 24th Day—T he contested election case from Effingham county, whereiu Bird (dem.) claimed the seat of Spier (pop.) was decided by the committee on privileges aud elections in favor ol Bird. Immediately after the journal had been road in tho house, Friday morning, tho committee’s report was sont to the clerk’H desk, read and con firmed. Mr. Harrison moved that tin committee’s report be adopted. Thn brought Mr. Hogan, of Lincoln, to lib feet. He is a member of thecommittei and rose to say that he had no objec¬ tion to the report of the oommitte> being adopted, but he did not think Mr. Bird, the contestant, was legally entitled to the seat. The electioi returns showed Spier to be elect ed by fifteen votes, but the com mittee, after throwing out the illega votes, had found Mr. Bird to have 1 majority of thirty-two. Speaker Flem ing asked tho contestant and the ,con testee to withdraw from the hall.whicl they did, and then tho house unani¬ mously adopted the committee’s re port and Mr. Spier was unseated. Mr Bird presented himself before th house and was sworn in by Assistan Justics Atkinson, of the suprem court. Mr. Barnes, of Richmond, o. fered a resolution that a committee b appointed to see whether the commit tee on privileges and elections was no entitled to a per noctern as well as 1 per diem,when it was at work all night Mr. Doolan, of Chatham, introduce an important railroad bill. It is direc ted against the Southern system, am provides that no corporation,individual or association, shall purchase or leus auy railroad lying in whole or ii P»*t in this state or any interest there¬ in, where the purchaser or lessee al ready owns, operates, or is interest* 1 * in a line or lease of railroad, which eai compete between any points in thi state. Any such purchase or lease u» der the bill is declared null and void Mr. Wren of Jefferson, introduced t resolution that, in view of the grea financial depression the legialatur should make no appropriations what ever except for current expenses ex cept as already provided for by law His idea is not to increase the appro¬ priations for any institution. Mr. Fogarty, of Richmond, introdne ed a bill creating a com mis sioner of immigration. Tt pro vides that the commissioner o agriculture shall be ex-officio commis sioner of immigration, aud instruct. him to prepare a hand book on the re sources of the state, which he shall lei any one have at its actual cost. Tin bill appropriates $1,000 for the pur¬ pose and all other fuudsin the treasury to the credit of the agricultural de partment, about $4,000, which make* $5,000 iu all to be used for advertising Georgia if the bill becomes a law. Mr. Fuseli, of Coffee, introduced 1 bill looking in the right direction. It ia a bill requiring the ordinaries of the state to investigate the jails in their counties at lea-t once a month and report to the grand juries. The bill of Mr. Reftgan, of Henry, to pro¬ hibit convicts from working at night or on Sunday, came up for final ac Uou > but “at to the com mittee to be amended. After the in trbductiou of mauy new measures, the I house adjourned. | precipitated 2Dajv-A partUau the house debate Saturday upon morning the first thing after the read¬ ing of the journal. Some time ago Mr. Montfort, of Taylor, introduced a bill to abolish the county court of Taylor. The bill was referred to the special judiciary committee, but Mr. Montfort was allowed to withdraw it on account of some errors in advertis¬ ing the bill. Friday Mr. Montfort again introduced the bill, and asked that it be referred to the committee on county and county matters. Mr. Poihill, of Bibb, objected to this and moved that the bill be sent to the special judiciary committee. The motion was carried and the bill took this course. Satnrday morning Mr. Montfort moved to reconsider the ac¬ tion of the house so that the bill might be sent to the committee on county and county matters. This brought ou the wordy war. Finally the motion to reconsider was voted upon and lost, so the bill remains with the special judi¬ ciary committee. The house passed the medical bill, the one passed a few days ago but afterward reconsidered. The bill was by Mr. Fouche, of Floyd, and was to establish three medical examining boards, one for the regular school of medicine, one for the Homeopathic, and one for the Ecletic. The bill was reconsidered on account of objections raised by Mr. West, of Lowndes. A committee of doc¬ tors had a conference with Mr. West in the meantime, and they all agreed upon au amendment, which was submitted by him. It provides a change for the time of meeting of the boards and makes it necessary that they shall confer with the faculty of each medical college, and hold a meet¬ ing that will suit a majority of the students in these colleges. This is for the purpose of making it as inexpen¬ sive as possible for the students desir¬ ing to be examined. The amendment was adopted and the bill was passed. The house holds fast to the election of judges and solicitors. A majority of the members are not ready to give up this privilege and, during the morn ing hour, killed in quick succession two bills to change the method of elect¬ ing these officers. The bill of Mr. Bailey, of Spalding, to change the time of holding county elec¬ tions was read the third time and pass¬ ed. It changes the time of holding county elections from January to the time of the state elections in October. The bill of Mr. Houston, of DeKalb, to make the street car companies pro¬ vide closed fronts for their cars for the protection of motormen^ was read the second time on an adverse report. Mr. Fouche, of Floyd, favored the com¬ mittee’s report. The report was adopt¬ ed and the bill was lost. A number of other bills were also read the second time and lost on an adverse report. New bills were then introduced, read and referred, and the house adjourned until Monday. 26th Day.— The most important business before the legislature Tuesday was the appropriation bill, which was taken up as the special order in the house. A message from the governor was received during the morning, and at a quarter past eleven it was read before taking up the appropriations bill. At a quarter to 12 o’clock the appropriation bill, on motion of Boynton, of Calhoun, was taken up for action by the house in the commit¬ tee of the whole, with Mr. Boifeuillet, of Bibb, in the cliair. On motion of Mr. Boynton the bill was acted on by sections. The first section provides for an appropriation of $3,000 for the governor’s salary, $2,000 for the secre¬ tary of state, for the state treasurer, for the comptroller general, for the attorney general, for the commissioner of agriculture and for the principal keeper of the penitentiary. It pro¬ vides for $1,200 for the assistant keeper of the penitentiary, $2,000 for the principal physician of the peni¬ tential y, $2,500 for each of the rail¬ road commissioners, $1,500 for the commission, $2,000 for state school commissioner, $1,800 for the state librarian, $800 for thn assistant lira nan, $2,500 for the resident physician at the asylum, $6,000 for the secre¬ taries in the executive office, $1,000 for the clerk to the secretary of state, $1,000 for the clerk to the state treas¬ urer, $4,000 for the clerks in the comptroller general’s office, $1,200 for the clerk to the commissioner of agri¬ culture, $1,200 for the clerk of the atate school commissioner, $1,200 for salary of the clerk of the state bank examiner and $600 for the sten¬ ographer of the attorney general. This section was adopted without discussion. The second section was also adopt¬ ed without discussion, It pro vides for $3,000 for the sala¬ ries of each of the supreme court judges, $2,000 for each of the superior court judges, $2,500 for each of the so¬ licitors general, $2,000 for each of the salaries of the supreme court reporters, $1,500 for each of the supreme court stenographers and $1,000 for the sher¬ iff of the supreme court. The regular four dollars a day and mile¬ age for the representatives and $70 a day for the clerk of the house and $60 a day for the secretary of the senate, together with $2 a day for the pages and porters, $4 a day for the doorkeepers and the other ex¬ penses for the legislature, was adopt¬ ed without discussion. The regular appropriations for the institu¬ tions of the state were then tak¬ en up. For the academy of the blind $16,000 was appropriated, for the in¬ stitute of the deaf and dumb $19,000 was appropriated, and for the State L'niversity $8,000 was set aside. The first discussion of the day, : came up on the appropriation to the technological school in Atlanta. The bill provided for the appropriation of $22,500 for each of the years of 1895 and 1896. Mr. Hurst, of Walton, offered an amendment cutting the appropriation to eighteen thousand dollars a year. After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn and the regular sum of $22,500 will go to the school. The bill provided for an appropriation of $200,000 for each year for the support of the lunatic asylum. Thecommittee on the asylum, after visiting it and making a thorough inspection, asked for an appropriation of $210,000 for 1895 and $210,000 for 1896. The finance committee, however, thought $200,000 a year was sufficient for this institution and so reported in the ap¬ propriation bill. A number of speeches were made in favor of an increase. The bill then went over till Tuesday, and tbe house adjourned. SESSION OF ?HE .SEX AXE- 23» X>AY.-o?Yhe senate judiciary committee Tljprsday morning jecom- mended that the bill introduced by Senator Harris reducing the tuition to the Technological school from $150 to $50 per annum, be passed.

The bill introduced by Senator Lumpkiu, by request, to pre¬ vent the town of Smithville from issu¬ ing license to sell liquor, brought ou a little temperance talk. Mr. Boynton thought more light was needed on the subject, and moved that the bill be re¬ committed to the temperance commit¬ tee, and the senate gave it this direc¬ tion. The joint committee appointed to ascertain when the state convict leuse expires reported that it expires August 1890, and that in their opinion the attorney general concurs. New bills were then introduced and read first timo and the senate adjourned. 24th Day— The substitute prepared by Mr. Venable lor his insurance bill was read the second time in the senate Friday morning and referred back to the judiciary committee. Senator Huberts, who represents the bailiwick where Miss Ellen Dortch resides, and who was au applicant for secretary to Governor Atkinson, and who could not hold the office because of the law being agaiust it, introduced a bill to do away with any objections to women holding civil offices in Georgia, and provides that hereafter the gover¬ nor can appoint them to office when he sees proper. Chairman Beeks made quick work of the bill to pay public school teachers next year. Senator Beeks is an ardent advocate of the bill and wants to see the teachers get their money house promptly. The bill passed the Thursday and was brought into the senate Friday morning and read the first time and referred to the com¬ mittee'on education. As soon as the senate adjourned Mr. Beeks called his committee together to consider the bill. It did not take the committee long to decide the matter.

The Jnpnnese Take Possession After a Hot Conflict. The Central News correspondent at Shanghai says that the full of Port Arthur has created great excitement in the native quarter of Shanghai. The news of the capture of Port Ar¬ thur by the Japanese was brought from Chee-Foo Saturday by a British steamer. The Star publishes a dispatch say¬ ing that the Japanese torpedo boats engaged the attention of the forts while the troops closed around the forts at the rear. Then the torpedo boats made a sudden concerted dash and suc¬ ceeded in getting inside the harbor. The Japanese artillery in the rear kept up a continuous fire upon these Chin ene forts and the infantry made a suc¬ cession of attacks upon the outer de¬ fenses which they captured. After the first onslaught by the Japanese, the resistance of the Chinese is said to have been feeble. Finally the Chinese troops became panic stricken and fled. THE BROWNS ~ACQUTT IKD.
