In several sections of the state it is said that politics arc warm ing up things. The people can stand even politics now to get. things warmed up after such a winter as we've had. Hon. Dupont Guorry made a speech at the Grand in Atlanta last week and it was a good one. Everybody knows where Mr. Guerry stands on all issues that have been sprung up to date. Instead of fixing a subscription price for the Congress tonal Record, the senate should charge an ad mission fee to its deliberations. Tillman. MeLaurin.

DISGRACEFUL OCCURRANCE. i Last Saturday the two senators j from South Carolina, Tillman and MeLaurin, had a personal dif ficulty in the senate, during which I several blows were passed and Tillman was st ruck <>n the nose which caused the blood to llow.

The senate held them to be in contempt, but this action will hardly amount to anything much. THERE IS DANGER.

The Arctic Weasel. In cold countries where snow pre vails during a long winter many of the animals change the hue of their coats to a white tint. The arctic bear and fox are white throughout the year. The northern hare is brown in summer and white in winter. The weasel is especially curious. It retains its brown coat until the first suow appears and then whitens in a few hours. He Remembered.

These are not sold as food, but for cleaning the outside of window panes— an old practice still in vcgiie in Ken sington. The snail is dampened anti placed upon the glass, where it at once moves around and devours all insects and foreign matter, leaving the paue as bright and clear as crystal. There are old established business place in Ken sington where the upper windows, when cleaned at all, arc always cleaned by snails. There is also a line market for snails among the owners of aquariums, as they keep the glass efrau and bright.” Fop Popovera. The value of a recipe lies partly in its being accurately set down and fol lowed. Harper's Magazine lias the fol lowing directions for making a break fast delicacy called popovera, as they were imparted by the Chinese servant to a lady visiting in the family.
