A few days ago a Representative. of ..he General Assembly introduced a .treasure looking to an early adjourn ment cf that body. We regret to sty that the measure died a natural death at ihe hands of the legislators ns?,*tabled. We wish to say just lierc rhat ever since the State of Georgia lia* !»ren operating under the constitution cf 1877 the sessions of the General A serobiy have been lengthy—unreason ably so—and the long summer sessions a-e a tax upon the State that It is really unable to sustain. The constitution provides for bl eit nial sessions of cot more than for days length. This session is held and an adjourned session is then held sev eral months alter. The latter session is InrI* finite in length, and by some has been contended as uncon-titution- al. Whether these ses-lona me uncon stitutional or not, wc do not care to Ihcuss, but when the General A«sem bly at these sessions has to vote to pay Its members their mileage for attend ing them, it occurs to us that if they are not authorized otherwise, a legislative act authorizing the payment of mile age would be unnecessary. Every"time, »h nigh, that any criti elsui is made on U:e-y l»*ng sessions and continued sessions, the cry raised that the w >rk neccs-ary to be d ne cannot be accomplished In t> e prescribed forty day a. Asid yet at every session there arc always more measures that find their way into pigeon hole than on the statute books. There are now pending, we dare say, more measures before the General As sembly that will fail of passage than the number that will become laws. And yet the State must hear all this expense, whether constitutional or un constitutional. The sessions are never dimini-hed, but instead have a ten dency to be lengthened. We had hoped that the present Leg islature would institute a much-needed reform in this matter. It w.»s under stood that the Representatives would put a stop to this useless expenditure of the State’s money, ami do the work In the prescribed constitutional limita tion, but if seem? that four dollars day iii the capital city is something that cannot bo resisted, and the old rut is jumped into without any dispo sition to drive around it. Now is a good time t-» b?g : n this re form* It is one that is needed and one that should be iu.-tiuited. Instead of paying a per diem to the m.-mber* let them be paid so much per year—a nominal sum in conformity to their services—and let every ifiierrof both branches be paid a stipulated annual salary and in less than two years a change would be-inaugurated that that would be acceptable to the pub lic at large. Of course this change would have to be brought about by constitutional •unendment, but we know of no more opportune time to make the step than just now. Lot the present General Assembly, the one that promised this reform, bring this matter up and sub mit it to the people foe ratification at tho next general State “lection. Then .nstead ol the sessions being prolonged on a per diem basis for each member, instead of long sessions to.kill useless and foolish measures, the sessions could be as long as the nu mbers saw lit to make them, am! the State and the citizens generally would not be the sufferers on account of the ex pense. Under that plan the Repre sentatives could only draw so much per year, tho officers could only draw ■so much per year, there would be no uncertainly as to the consticntionality of the sessions, there would be no In- ireased expense by long sessions, and r.hc people could be satisfied in a man ner far prelcrablc than at present.

Avila, of Brooklyn, re- ceutly had his left eye removed by a surgeon. Thirty-five years ago, when in his dnetcenth year, Mr. Avila was badly injured while he was at work iu his lather’s paint shop, a piece of broken nail having lodged in his eye. By the advice of Dr. Agnew he concluded noi w have the piece of nail removed, and until last March, when he began t< mfter from pains In the left side of hu- head, he experienced no trouble from it. The pains in his head became 90 acute that he consulted Dr. Matthew- sou, who informed him that he was suffering from the very rare disetse of ossification of the eye, and tfaal he would have to get it out. The operation was successfully per formed about a week ago. Mr. Avila says that he never, haif^i better time his life than during the l our that was under the influence of ether. small piece of nail is still in the II, as the ball Is so hard that the can not be removed it. Macon Evening News. The people still rule! In every department of this great government their will moat predomi nate. Conscientious citizens and fair mind ed newspapers are a power none can successfully combat. An investigation Into the deitth of Beauregard Scarborough Is to be made t. last. It was brought.about by impartial and just newspaper disclosures and criticisms, backed up In their efforts by men who desired justice for jus tice’s sake. These effort* have called forth froin the depai-ttnent of justice an order call ing for an investigation into the death of this United States prisoner, which since its occurrence has been obscured in a cloud. A t the head of Uiis movement, to bring about an investigation, was no other than our own Congressman, Hon. Jas. H. Blount, together with many of Macon’s most prominent citi zens and leading members of the bar, men whose names carry with it the justice of their cause and speak the gravity of the situation. Congressman Blount addressed At torney-General Miller in regard to the matter, and Attorney-General. Miller very properly ignores whatever inves tigations might have been made in Ma con and proposes to thoroughly look into the matter at the department of justice. Surely such a move could not have been objected to at first, and It not reprehensible, it was due the party or parties connected therewith and in which it occurred to have the fact clear ly established. But now an investigation will be regularly made and the public mind set at ease, thanks to those newspapers who have given a free expression to tho matter and to the men who have so unselfishly maintained the rights of their State and their people. scarbokougs’s noMjc piper. As further light on the matter the ews publishes the following extracts from the Camilla Clarion, Scarbor ough’s home paper: The death of Beauregard Scarbor ough is thought by some to have been hastened on, or caused entirely, by the United States marshal putting him under arrest and carrying him froinhis failier-in-law’s house in Colquitt coun ty to Macon when he was not really able to go. There seems to be some people in this county who, according to the best information that can be ob tained, are as guilty as Scarborough, who, if they have' been to Macon at all, have not been under arrest, but simply went under sutrfmons as witnesses We allude to Poore and Eubanks, fath er and uncle of VV. L. Poore. The courts at Macon turned them loose and Poore came back with the report that Bryant would be perjured for swearing that he, Poore, Eubauks and Cumbass, made liquor together. Now we will furnish a little infor mation from witnesses in this neigh borhood. First, the parties confirm about the time the distilling was done and they thought it all would be kept secret. Bryan told shortly after it was done to a party who will testify to the same. John Poore told W. Horton Branch that he had helped Bubanks still peaches and told him to carry bis fruit and he would help him to still It. Mr. Branch positively declined having anything to do with It. Uncle Joe Cosby, who is well advanced in age, says Poore told him that he (Pooe) auri Cumbass could beat Sank Cosby on his own si ill. Buck Cosby says Poore and Eubanks came to his house mod Poore begged Bryant off with him to heh> still their peaches. Bryant did not want to go for fear It would get out. “Come, get you hat,” says Poore, nobody will know it,” and the boy' went. Bryant then claimed to be only 17 years of age. Mr. Buck Crosby also states that In the evening on their return from the still they met Sam Crosby at his house and Poore told Sam, “we can beat you on your own still. We not only made better fiquorbut we got a better turn out. You cook your* too fast.” We are also told that Ben Simpson, Sam Crosby, Dave Weeks and Laban Goodson were at the still the same day. Frank Crosby says Will Poore told him that if Bryant reported his father and Eubanks, he would have the rest punished to the fullest extent of the law. Deputy Marshal Poore Is a Mitchell county man, and he has hauled many of his old friends OYer the coats? I was charged that Deputy Poore’s father, Mr. J. S. Poore, was. guliy ot the same offense. R. H. Bryant swore to that effect, and he was convicted of perjury iu a one sided trial. There has been only one copper still In the neighborhood, so said, and it was cap tured last year. John P'»ore bought It. The man who'sold it told a gentle man in this city that he sold it to John Pooe. There Is another gentleman who saw John Poore’s order to the original owner to deliver it to the bear- If this be so, why punish some nnd let tho.e kin to the officers go free? Is that one of the perquisites of the office? These two men have never been called on to testify in an investi gation. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. WANTED A GOSSAMER. n n Philni!clpliia Glri’a BstUit Sait Created at Cape Slay. Grom the Philadelphia Record. With a run across the ocean drive, a bop and jump over the board walk and another long, - swift run on coarse as straight as an arrow, boxom young lady cleft the air on the beach this morning, and before the startled on-lookers could regain their wits the swells of the ocean concealed the most stunning bathing snit of the season. The debut of the yonng Phil adelphian was rather theatrical, but she was evidently a little discontented by the attention she attracted and fl<*w to the water, where she remained far out, until It became evident the men on tbe'Leacta proposed to stay and see her come out even if they missed their dinner. Then, as a last resort, she persuaded a friend to go to the hotel and Aend down a gossamer. When the friendly garment arrived the inter ested yubllc had a flitting view of a low—very low—cut.bodice of dark, rich green, fitted skin-tight over stays with only a strap at the shoulders. A pretty bracelet adorned one bare arm. Below the waist was a short skirt, ac- cordlon-ptaited, and when in the surf this expanded until “the bather looked like a mermaid floating on a lily. Old- gold stockings adorned her shapely limbs. This was tbe firet appearance of the suit here, and It Is likely to be the last. As one of the Stocktonites remarked, “That young lady got her ball dress mixed up with her bathing robe.” Frogs in His Stomach. A man this morning entered Kaltcy- er’s drug store, says the St. Louis Chronicle, and to see the city physi cian. Here is the remarkable state ment he made toque of the clerks: “I have my stomach full of frogs, and they bother me terribly every night, when they keep up such a sing ing and croaking, and juwp around so much, that they don’t give me any chance to sleep.” The clerk then asked: “How do you know they are frogs ?” “Why, don’t you suppose I know frogs when I hear and see them? f not only hear them, but I took an emetic, and when I vomited two of them came up.” '“Were they alive?” “Well, I should think they were. And as soon as they got out they be gan calling to the others in my stom ach, and the latter kept answering toe in, so I didn’t get any peace until J killed the two outsiders.” — “Did you keep the dead frogs?** “No; and I am sorry now that I didn’t, because nobody will believe me when I tell them I have frogs in stomach, unless the frogs happen-to sing when 1 am talking about them. J went to a doctor yesterday and wanted him to remove them, and he told me 1 would have to change my whisky or the frogs would turn Into monkeys; but the frogs are there just as hard, and I wish they were not. I would like to kill them, but am afraid I would kill myself If I tried to poison them.” The roan was apparently sober, well- dressed, and about fbrty years old. The physician was not in and he left, say ing he would be In again at the hour when the physician was expected A Tough Duck Story. Old Capt. Prout, from whom Prout’s Neck, now a well known summer re sort, is named, was a noted gunner In the days when the water fowls were plenty in that vicinity. Early one spring, 18G0 or thereabouts, said an olu settler to me, he brought home from the West Indies a gun, tbe like of which had never been by the natives. It was a muzzle-loader, about a two- luch guage, and weighed about thirty pounds. -Soon after its arrival there came a heavy storm, and the next morning a pond of a couple of acres In extent back of the captain’s barn wa* covered with ducks so thick that aiu. other one could not possibly have been squeezed in. nere was an opportunity to try the new gun, and loading it with the regulation charge, of one- quarter pound of powder and one-half pound of shut, he sailed forth. At the corner of the barn he cocked the piece and stepped out with it held in readiness When within about forty yards all the ducks jumped as one birp. The cap tain aimed at the middle of the mas* and fired. Here my informant stepped as if ex* pectin g some encouragement, and somowhat again.it my will 1 felt con strained to ask, “How many did he get?” “Wal,” he replied, “he didn’t get any; he undershot, but be picked up three bushels of ducl^’ legs.” THIRD PARTY IDEAS FULMINATED BY THE MEDICINE LODGE STATESMAN.

Mrs. Blossoms is very prond of her baby,says Brooklyn Life,which she de scribes as “the cutest and cunuingcs* little thing.” This merely by way oL identification and to distinguish him from all other babies, which are well- known to be of a very different sor**.. Mr. Blossom does not show as much Interest in his offspring, but when* the little fellow became 111 the other night he got up and attended to lilm while' the mother slept peacefully in ignor ance of the awiul crisis. In the morning Mrs. Blossom no ticed tbatthe infant’s face had changed from its nsual color. The cardinal red with shrimp Ipink trimmings had re solved itself into an old gold and pur ple flounced affair. “I dou’t think that baby looks very well,” she said anxiousty. -“No; he had a hard night of It,” re plied her husband. “Ob, dear! He wasn’t sick, was he, Charlie?” “l8bould say he was was! Why, one time 1 didn’t think the little beg gar would be able to pull through.” “Oh, Charlie, how could you let me sleep? Why didn’tvou wake me up?” sbe exclaimed, in tones tremulous with motherly aog'ish. ‘Well,” replied Mr. Blossom, who never loses a chance for a joke, “I’ii cell you, I was afraid yoo’d want me to dress and go for the doctor.’* Since then Mrs. Blossom may be heard assuring her treasure at half- minute intervals that “his papar was a bad, wicked man, so he was.” Rural Recreations While Resting.

Then he hurried off to theidub to take a leading part in the question*. “How to Keep Boys on the Farm.” Fuslaml, the lamous sacred moun tain of Japan, gives signs of renewed vulcanic activity. Washington, August 3,1891.—Hon Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, who firs, achieved lame under the derisive so briquet of “the Sockless Statesman of Medicine Lodge,” bat who has now meet to be regarded as one of tbe shrewdest and most careful leaders of the Farmers’ Alliance movement, has just returned to Washington, after prolonged trip through Georgia and the South. Mr. Simpson talked enthusiastically of the progress the movement is mak ing In the Sooth. He aays it is sweep ing everything before it, and the old- time politicians are panic-stricken. THE SPIRIT IS ABROAD. Che spirit reform la among the he said to your correspond ent, “and alleged leiderk who try. to manipulate them are unceremoniously shoved aside or trampled under foot. Those persons who imagined the Farm ers* Alliance movement was the out growth of a passing or whimsical dis content, due to poor crops, which would disappear with the advent of spring peas and new potatoes, now begin to see their mistake. It is based on intelligence and investigation. The conditions which have brought about this revolt are three-fold, the oppres sive nse of their money power, tbe manipulation of railroads to absorb- tbe profits of the farmer, and the pres ent tariff system, which reduces the price of what he has to sell by restrict ing the market and raising the price of what he has to buy -by monopolizing the market. The tariff wall coops the farmers of this country op In a pen, compelling them to trade against each other through thi3 medium.” THE TARIFF ISSUE. How Is It that the question of tariff taxation has not received more promi nence in the Alliance platform?” • “Because of the timidity of some ol the leaders,” replied Mr. Simpson. “The Alliance strength is drawu from both tbe old parties, which are divided mainly upou this question. It was not, therefore, deemed wise to align the new party on tins Democratic side of this great question, for fear of shoving out Republicans who would be made to believe that the Alliance was a Demo cratic side show. But the Alliance people understood this question. They will even farther than* the Demo crats. They will, 1 predict, in their platform next January, pronounce for absolute free trade. '‘That will place the farmer and the manufacturer alike on an equal foot ing. It will give us success to the markets of the world. Then we want a cheapening of the instruments of trade and the means of transporta tion.” TO STRIKE TUB REPUBLICANS. Mr. Simpson expects.the Alliance to give the Republican party a death blow this fall? “Tbe Republican - party,? said he/ '‘stakes its all in Ohio this fall. Sher man represents its theory of finance, and McKinley the tariff. Those two, with tbe bloody shirt represented by Ingalls, give tbe party it? only excuse for existence. The Issues of the war were forever buried with logalls In Kansas last year, and when the cam paign this fall is open, McKinley and Sherman, like IngalD, will be states men out of a job. We are preparing to send our best speakers to Ohio, and there will be a big surprise fn store for somebody.” ~ rnERrf WILL BE A TICKET. ‘Then-ovill the Alliance put a ticket in the field next year?” ‘Yes, the Alliance i3 up to its neck in politics. I am satisfied from what 1 saw in the South, that we can easily carry several States upon which the Democrats fancy they have first mortgage. The South ern people are as much in earnest as he people were in Kansas, and the Northwest last year. Our battle next year will be the South and West against the Exstr We will turn .Mason and Dixon’s line around. We may not win next year. If we don’t, we will keep up the agitation until we do. We may have to divide our enemies and whip them separately. Cf _ we don’t wia ourselves tfeit year, we will at least break up the Re publican party. Theu we con turn, our attention to the Democratic. It is tougher and harder to kill, hut when the Alliance lion and the Democratic iamb do lie.down together, the lamb will be on the Inside of tho Hon. Don’t make any mistake about that. Tliis is a political revolution which'is going on. The peopV don’t appreciate it now. A few yenrsdience, wheu some body looks carefully over the recent almanacs, he wltT make the discovery.” MILLS IN TOWN. Roger Q. Mills arrived here to-day from New York, where he has been on a stumping expedition. He declines to discuss the* speakership question, further than to express his satisfaction with the situation, and bis belief in his election, and to disclaim any posi tive knowledge of the calling of an ex tra session of tbe Tex:is Legislature, vhich would necessitate his with drawal from the speakership race to look after his senatorial fences. Mr Mills goes to Iowa in a few days to open the campaign there. In October he will go to Ohio to help Governor Campbell. There he looks forward to discussing not only the tariff with Mc Kinley, bat the silver question with Senator Sherman. A GgocI Joke on Hill. Brooklyn Eagle I heard a good story ab nit Brook lynites at Cottage City last week—or rather srgood story which Brooklynites sumiuering there enjoyed, among them Dr. Hafrcfeon A. Tucker, ex-United States Marshal Charles M. Stafford and others. Governor Hill was at Martha’a Vineyard twice lately, it will be re membered, once when going to Nan tucket and again when cotning^back from that place. On hisretarn a Mas sachusetts man named Mr. Youngs was introduced to oar State executive, but accidentally the latter’s given name was not mentioned to Mr. Youngs, who had-no idea that “the governor” meant the governor of New York. *Y oangs, however, wa3 com mended to “the governor” as “one of the leading Massachusetts Democrats.” “I don’t know that I’m a leading Mas sachusetts Democrat,” modestly said Youngs, “I’m a sort of Cleveland Democrat and I guess that’s all.” Un aware that Mr. Youngs was ignorant of the fact that he was conversing with the governor of the State of New York, a bystandersaid to him, in or der to propitiate that functionary: “And, Young?, you are not only a good Cleveland Democrat, but a good David x. . tob^rilw**- l**nt“Vft eatf! fkia nml UNCLE SOIrS STQRY. dat - do nisger got sides dare freedom.

Philadelphia Record. ^ A machine-has recently been invent ed by a Philadelphia man by which electric power can be introduced Into a dwelling house, or, in fact, any building, with bnt slight expense. The basis of the invention is a practical use of the power of atmospheric grav ity. The gravity, or weight of the at mosphere at sea level, will raise water In a vacuum thirty-three feet.- The in vention consists of a process of forcing water out of a vacuum placed on the roof of a building and keeping the air out at the same time. The water is forced to the vacuum, is then driven into a tank, and in descending has saf- ficient power to drive a wheeL_Below the wheel the- water can be collected into a shallow tank and led back into tbe tank from which it first came, forming a continuous stream.

After many years’ absence I con chided to visit the home of my child hood xnd the house In which I was born. I dreamed* the night'before arted of the old school house and the play-ground where we boys used to play stick-It-to-him and £b*miy~gffd roily boley. I saw again the old bald- headed teacher with ferrule in hand walking up and down the aisle cracfc ing the boys over their heads and tell ing them to study their lessons. I saw my old sweetheart in her neat ging ham dress and bean * catchers/ looking' as cute and as saucy as in the days ot long ago. Great Scott! at the victuals I did lose over that girl, the'slecpless nights and the anony I endured at see ing Pete Jones wink at her, and the delight she took in vexing and coquett ing with me. (She evidently married Peteand now takes in washing fora, living.) : ' When I awoke the next morning there was an aching void in my heart which the sight of my old home alone could fill. So I packed my grip and started. I got off at the old depot where 1 first saw in wonder the iron horse. But alas, ail was changed, and I should never have known It for the same but for the brakeman calling it by name. The old depot, like every thing aronnd it, had put on city airs, and resembled the depot of my boy hood no more than a highland terrapin does the great turtle. I walked along the old street, hut everything was new and strange|to my eyes. New people brushed by me without notice and new hoases looked down upon me. Even the saplings that stood in the in the court house yard had grown up into giants, and the old brick building, with Its shingle roof, had given place to a stone mansion with copper cover ing. Everything around me was new and unfamiliar* The. very dirt ot the streets seemed to be of another world. Here in the town where I was bom and where I had grown to man’s estate f was an utter stranger, with not one kindly face to welcome me. I could □ot have been no more lonely in the heart of Africa, so great are the changes which thirtyjrears brings about. I wandered out to my boyhood’s home only to find greater changes, there than at any other place.. The vine-clad cottage was gone; not a ves tige of it remained; The old picket fence and the great cedars all gone, and In the(r places stood a stately edi fice with an iron fence abound it. The only thing I remembered to have ever seen before was an aged chestnut tree standing on the*, road road some two hundred feet from the front gate. It stood unchanged ’midst its magnificent surroundings, the same old tree that sheltered my great-grandfathers httn dred years ago. I walked up to it with tears in my eyes and looked up at tbe first limb, upon which I had passed so many happy hours, dreaming of the great world beyond, and longing for tbe time to come when I could turn my back upon my humble home to mingle with newscenes and new peo pie. I was so lost In reflection that I failed to notice an aged negro sitting fast asleep ia the shade of the old tree until a falling bur rudely awoke him and called my attention* to him. His features seemed familiar to me, bur since negroes are all so much alike, es pecially old Ones, I concluded that J was mistaken and that he, too, was a stranger. However, I*walked up to him and said, “Good morning, uncle, can yon tell me who lives In yon dwell ing?” “Maanin’, boss, maanin’. Yes, sar, I kin tell you who libs dar. It am Jedge Green as libs dar -now, but date de spot whar Mars John and Miss Mil lie used to lib afo’ de war, an’ whiu* 1 missef libed fifty year. I cams here once a year to git chestnuts from dis here ole tree, kaise dar ain’t no chest nuts in dis world as can cum np wid dese.” 1 knew him then.'- ’Twas old uncle Sol, a faithful servant of my father and grandfather. “Why, Uncle Sol,” says I, “dear Uncle Sol, is it possible that yon are still alive and well ?” Who Is dat call’o’ me so glib. G’long wafon here, white man, an’ doan you try to play none ob youi tricks on me. I’se dun cut my eye tee!, I is, an’ ain’t agwien to be tuck in. But who is you, ennyhow ? Hit peer? like i’ee heerd dat voice afore, 'Bum mers. But you jes bar it in mind as I ain’t er bein’ tuck Iu.” “Why, Uncle Sol, don’t you remem ber ZekeKase?” “Well, to de Lawd, is datyoq, M Zeke, sbo nnf? .Well, wdl; how yo Is growd.

De grate sakes erlive, you doan sholy tell me dat yon way 150 poun’, an* yon sich a puny little chap de last time I carried you in dose here inns?-You must be mistaken, Mar? Zeke, dat lcain’t be you!” I assured him that I was alive and before him and that it had been thirty years since we parted. “You must re member, Uncle Sol, that a 10-year-olo boy changes greatly In thirty years.” “Cose dey duy, Mars Z-.ke, cose dej day.

Price $1.00 Per Year Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Food Report. . A Believer in Signs. There used to be a curious character named Vellgt downJm Fulton county, Indiana, says the Chicago Herald. He was noted over his whole section as the greatest eater and the firmest be liever in “signs” that ever sat on the banks of Eel river and angled for bass. He planted his corn In the dark of the moom and laid fail fences in the light. He sheared his sheep when the sign was in tbe head, and laid bare his own neck from the winter’s growth of beard when the zodiac pointed to Taurus. He shingled his barn In the moon’s first quarter, and gathered his seed Corn when Cancer was king. He wouldn’t ride behind a horse that hadn’t been broken in the sign of the reins, and when Scorpio ruled he con sidered a secret sate. There was noth ing on earth he didn’t believe could be properly donejn the signs, and noth ing that didn’t threaten destruction if the signs were disregarded. He had a neighbor named Isaac Brown, a great joker, who grew rich in spite of the fact that be paid no more attention to the signs, which were so large a part of Vellet’s econo my, than he did to the color of the clouds at midnjght. Finally Yellet died, as eccentric men sometimes will, and the assessor came aropnd in the spring and missed him. “What was the matter with him?” asked the official of Isaac Brown. Well, you see,” said the skeptical fanner, “I come home one night along in December and told him I had a next year’s almanac, and.

A boy about ten years oia was go ing up Second avenue yesterday with a'quart bottle in his hand labeled “Black Ink” In big letters, says the New York World, and he was hand ling it so carelessly that a fat and fnssy man, coming down the avenne, stop ped him to say: “That’s just exactly like a boy! Why on earth don’t yon carry that bob- tie as yon ought to!” “I am I” “No, yon ain’t! Ton are just ach ing to have it drop on the sidewalk and spatter all over some one !** “I guess I know how to carry « bot tle I” growled the boy as he swung It aronnd. “No, yon don’t, porno other boy! What you doing now? If yon let that bottle drop and spatter me with Ink I’ll cane yon.” “Who’s lettin’ any bottle drop?” “You lire!” £ “I hain’t neither! I guess I ctn play catch with a bottle without killing anybody,” Look out!” fl“Tbere hain’t nothin* to be alarmed' about.

Fifteen hundred Now York Morning Journal. .“Won’t you tell me abont the first carbon lamp yon ever made?” “Ah, that is a story. The carbon ol the firsti&mp was made of a spool ol Clark’s thread. All night Batchellcr, my assistant—the greatest an 1 Lc-. - my assistants, the man of infinite pa tience and -Indefatigable persistence- worked beside me. The next day wo worked alJ day and then all night again, and at the end of that time vre had produced one carbon out of a spool of Clark’s thread. Having made it, it was necessary to take It to the glassblower’s bouse. With the utmost preceution Batchellor took up the precious carbon,- and I marched after him, as if guarding mighty treasure, to the glassblower’ cabby-hole. To our consternation, just as we reached the glassblower’ bench the wretched carbon broke. “Batchellor tuaned aronnd and look ed at me snd said, ‘Edison, we won’ sleep till we get one.* ” At the recollection Edison lay back in his chair and langhed heartily When he had recovered from the fit be said: “That was one of Batchellor’s per petual phrases which he had said to me a hundred times before, and which 1 had said to him; We turned back to main laboratory and set to work again “It was late in tbe afternoon_before we had produced another perfect car bon. The same procession as in tbe morning passed to the glassblower’s den. It was safely deposited on the bench, were Batchellor laid it down, when a jeweler’s screw-driver—a very little utensil, as you know—rolled down and broke the carbdn again. “Batchellor looked at the broken carbon with staring, wide-open eyes, and I did too. Fully a minute elapsed before either spoke. Batchellor turned aronnd—he is a very mild-mannered man—but if Uncle Toby could be for given for swearing, and the recording angel blotted out the old soldier’s oath with a tear, surely be did the same for Batch. ‘Well, I am d—d,’ said Batch, and then he added^vitb a grim look on hi* face: 'Job got too d—d much reputa tion fqr patience on a small capital.’ ‘So, disappointed but not disheart ened, we turhed hSCB again, and bc- fore'night a carbon was completed and inserted in tbe lamp. Tbe lamp wa> exhau&ed of sir and sealed, the current turned on, and tbe light that is to t* the light of the world met our eyes for the first time In all its beauty.” “Can you tell me how many chil dren of that first lamp there are in tbe world to-day?” “I can not,” he answered. “Do you know, Tate?Z’ he sa T d, turning around to the secretary.

If yon calculate the lamp at 40 cents each yon will see that the work is paying little short of $10,000,000 » year for the children of the lamp'that made Batchellor' consider Job some thing of an impostor.” “A question of very great interest ti tbe public is whether tbe falling Int< yonr hands, under the decision, of th( monopoly of m&nnfactnre of theligb will raise tbe cost of the lamps to tb> public ?” “It will do nothing of the kind.

Wonders Are wrought by the use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor In restoring gray hair to its original color, promoting a new growth, prevent- Mg the hair from falling, keeping it soft; silky, and abundant, and the scalp coo^ healthy, and free-from dandruff or humors.* The universal testimony Is that this prep aration has no equal as a dressing, and is, therefore, indispensable to every well- furnislied toileff ^ **I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor for soma time and it has worked wonders for me. I was troubled*with dandruff and was rapidly ' . becoming bald; but since using the Vigor my head Is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair has ceased coming out, and I now have a good growth, of the same color os when I was a yonng woman.
