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.
