Meteoric Shower.
Last Wednesday night was wit
nessed one of the most awe inspiring
meteoric showers seen in southern
skies since 1833.
The sight wus upnllingly beauti
ful and lasted for several hours, un
til it really seemed that every meteor
in the heavens would full to earth.
These meteoric showers occur
every year in August and November,
with more or less greatness, but the
ofie Wednesday night was the most
brilliant since the date above men
tioned.
Meteoric showers are said to be
caused by little worlds revolving
thiough space until they reaob the
earth, while some think they are
caused by the breaking up of comets,
and what appears to be meteors arc
only fragment* of the oomet* falling
to earth.
During the past seven days from
six to ten new hills have been pre
sented in each house of the legisla
ture, and the end is no where in
sight yet, 'notwithstanding the con
stitutional limit of the session is
about half transpired. The greater
proportion of these hills relate to
amending the Code, incorporation of
towns, or other matters of minor
Importance.
The.committees appointed to visit
the several state institutions—the
blind asylum at Macon, the deaf
and dumb asylum at Cave Spring,
the insane asylum at Mitledgevillc
and the various penitentiary camps
—have performed this duty.
Senutoi Smith, of the committee
to visit the Institute for the Deaf
und Dumb, reported to Senate on
Monday that the committee had
found all books properly kept and
all money expended properly no
counted for by vouchers. The
$15,200 appropriated by the last
legislature has been 'properly amt ju
diciously expended on approved
vouohcrs. itt'ho support fund of
$17,000 per annum is sufficient and
recommend a slight inoreuso, believ
ing that proper economy and good
judgment has been exercised by the
officers in charge. The committee
thinks it is but simple justice -that
the legislature should make provis
ion for its support. The committee
recommend* an appropriation of
$5,000 for repairs on buildings, pro
vision for proper druinage and fur-
ishing of school rooms and other ne
cessities for the institute.
On Tuesday an important hill was
introduced, whioli provides “that all
county officials shall make their le
gal advertisements in the secular
newspapers having the largest bom
Jido circulation, the question to be
determined by the sheriff, ordinary
and. olerk of. the court” The pas
sage of this bill Will forever settle
the v»xcd quest ion in what papers
county officials shall place their ad
vertisements.
Two other important bills were
introduced In the house on Tuesday.
One creates a new offoiul to be known
as the “Slate railroad inspector.”
Tho uaniu of thu office indicates the
duty of tho officer. The other looks
to the estahlishmunt of an agricul
tural college near the experiment
station at Griffin.
Mr. Calvin’s bank bill was read
the second time. It provides for
inning circulating notes by banks
chartered by the state so soon os con
gress repeals the 10 per cent tax on
statu bank issues.
Thursday morning the following
bills of general interest were intro
duced.:
To establish a state bureau of .im
migration, appointment of a com
missioner of immigration, etc.
To establish a branch of the state
lunatic asylum near Rome, to pro
vide for a commission to select the
site, etc.
To regulate the manner in which
all official advertisements shall be
let out. Tins refers to state official
notices.
