The Augusta Exposition is going to be the biggest thing the country has ever seen. In Georgia, out of 230 banks, only six closed their doors during the late financial panic. ^ Congress has been in session over two months and it has done a heap— of<a)kiDg, during that time. Macon News: It is rumored that both Atkinson and Clay will retire from the gubernatorial contest and eave the field to Evans and Mitchell. Mr I.ovick Pierce of Columbus, son of the lamented Bishop, has been tendered the position of chief clerk iu the educational bureau, by Secre tary Hoke Smith.

The continuous session of the Senate lasted thirty eight hours and forty minutes. Nothing was accom plished. At 10:40 a. in. Thursday Mr. Voorhees arose and said. “Mr. President I feel that I have done my duty and without comment, I now move that the Senate adjourn.” The motion was unanimously agreed to and in an instant the Senate chamber was deserted. Washington, Oct. 13.—By adjourn ment of the senate at an early hour this morning the repeal bill resumes its place as “unfinished business” in the ordinary daily routine of the sen ate chamber. It will continue to oc cupy that position unless displaced by some other pressing measure until some conclusion is reached by com promise or otherwise. The seuateset to work this morning just as if nothing had occurred to modify the situation us to the pur chase repeal bill. Senator Voorhees was in his seat, at 11 o’clock, looking somewhat tir* •ed perhaps, but a'ert and resolyed to push the bill to toe last. At 11:30 the bill was taken up on his motion and Senator Stewart took up his speech at the point where he had left off ten hours before. Notic es of two amendments to tlie bill were given by Senators Vest and*Allen. . Mr, Vest proposes to repeal the sil* ver purchase clause of tiie Sherman act and provide for the free coinage of silver at the rate of $3,000,000 a month uDtil the limit of $800,000,000 is reached, the coinage or seignorage to be coined into standard silver dol lars (sixteen to oue); authorizing the treasury department to require gold payments on any United States ob ligations whenever it, is satisfied that, it is applied for with a view of export ing gold; authorizing the issue of certificates in exchange for silver dol* lars. and provides for a joint commit tee of the two houses on the question of finance. Senator Allen’s amendment is a free coinage proposition. Washington, Oct. 14.—The session of tin* senate tooay lasted for only six hours. It was a sessiou of much interest. Various important amendments to the rules were offered and went over til! Monday. They propose to forbid tiie reading by s-nators of speeches either written or printed; to permit the counting of seuators present and not voting; to disqualify senators interested in national banks or hr* tional bank stocks from voting on any bill affecting the coinage or the currency; to provide for closing the debate on any bill or resolution by the same arrangement as is now in operation iu the House of represen tatives. If the compromise men do not en counter unexpected obstacles their substitutes will be prepared for iu troductiou by the middle of the week. It is a part of the programme not to introduce the bill until as surance of sufficient support to se cure its passage is received. Oonse* quently when the bill is once pre sented it will be generally under stood that the end is in sight.

C., Oct. 3rd, 1893. Editors Union Recorder: I think my readers are growing tired of my German tour, and will agree to join me in a visit to the beautiful scenery of Switzerland, be ginning at Zurich, tbe capital of the Canton, which, with 21,199 inhabi tants, 8,377 Roman Catholics, includ ing the suburbs 50,000, is situated at the north end of the lake, on the banks of the green and rapid Lim* mat, which divides it into twodistinot parts, the Grosse stadt on the right and Kline on the left. On tiie west side Hows the Giht, which unites witli the Limmat immediately below the town. Zurich is the most flourishing of the Swiss towns iu the manufacture of silk and cotton. There are 10,fXK) silk looms in this Canton. At the same time it is the literary center of German Switzerland. Its schools on* joy a high reputation and iiaye for many centuries seut forth such men of distinction as Boelmer, Hot.inger, Orelli, Glessner, Lavater, Hers, Pes taloz/.i, Homer, H.zel, Henry Meyer, the friend of Goethe, and many others. Tiie Hoeh school, founded in 1832, 320 students, half of whom are medical men. The situation of Zurich is beautiful. Both bauk8 of the lake are enlivened with villages, orchards and vine yards, scattered over «. highly culti vated country. lathe back ground rises the snow capped Alpp, while on the left you see the ridge of tiie Gluruiscb; then the perpendicular sides of the Grieselli stock, 9,200 feet. Near it on the right t lie Pfuust-ck, and further on the Dues* berg, like u winding stairs; next the snowclud Bifortenstock and Todi. In front of these the Clarenden, the most- western of which point is the Kammlisstoek (10,610 feet) between this and the doubled peak Sheerhuui, the Griers Glacier is embedded. Then on the north side of the Schorcheu- thal, tiie. ross stock chain, witli gro* tesqiely formed homes. Between tilts and the Scheerhorn appears the (lark summit of the Mvthers, near Schwyz. Aiiove tli- valley, between the Kaisers!ock and Rossberg. tow* ers tiie pointed pyramid of the Bristenrttock, near Amstey, on the St. Got hard.route. Then if the spec tator occupies a commanding position the Blackenstock and uri ltothstock a portion of the snow mountains of the Engelberger, that appear above the Albis. To the right of the Albis is the Wetliberg, the most northern point of this range, with the hotel on its summits. As the beauty of its situation is the great attraction of Zurich, no trav* eler visits it without visiting the points. To start from the fourth arched monster bridge, on the right of tiie Limmat is an open vestibule leading to the Town Library, known as Wasseokriche, from its once hav ing stood in tiie water. In I860 it was considerably enlarged and now contains many valuable manuscripts; a letter from Zwingli to his wife, Zwingh-s, **reek bible with Hebrew auuotations in his own hand writing; au autograph letter of Henry IV, of France, three autograph letters in Latin of the unfortunate Lady Jane Gray.-to Antistes Ballinger; a letter of Frederick the Great, dated 1784, I to professor Miller; portraits of the worthies of Zurich; a marble bust of Lavater, by Daiinecker; eight panes ol stained glass of 1500. The same building contains tne antiquities, belonging to the Antiquarian Boci etv, the tuo*t interesting of which are the relics from the ancient Swiss lake villages. The steps opposite to the vestibule, ill front oi tiie Library, lead to the Gross Monster, erected in the 11th and 18th centuries. In the year 1779 tiie towers were crowned with helmet shaped ornaments, surmounted by gilded flowers. On the western tower Charlemagne is seated witli gilded crown and sword, in recognition of donations made by him to the origi nal church. The choir contains three large stained glasses, representing Christ, St. Deter and St, Paul. Tiie town hall near tiie bridge on tiie right batik, opposite the Schwert Hotel, constructed iu 1689, iu the stylo of that period, presents nothing worthy of note ubove the monster bridge. We turn to the left and then ascend straight on past tiie Kronenludle, or cross the Stadilholer Platz, which is. adorned witli a taste ful fountain with figures of children in bronze, to the Hohe promenade, a loftily situated avenue of lime trees. Farther to the east is St. Peter’s church, with a massive tower and electric clock (dial 29 feet in diame ter) where tiie excellent Lavater (1801) was pastor for 23 years. Crossing the Bahuhofs strusse aud following the Pelican strasse we reach the Botanic Gardeus which are well stocked with Alpine plants, and beautified with several fine mon uments. Adjoining the monster bridge on the left bank rises the Fraw monster Kriche, erected in the 13th century, with a lofty red roofed tower. Zurich contains a great deal more well worthy of mention, but I cannot stop to write of all its worth. Like other places it woird occupy too much space, so I must hurry on to Lucerne, a lovely little city situated on the Reuse, with 14,524 inhabitants. At the points where it iiumerges from the lake, tiie well preserved walls aud watch towers, enclosing the town, which were erected iu 1385, give the place au imposing appearance, while its amphltheatrical situation on the lake, between the rigi aud Pelatasuud facing the snow clad Alps of Uri and Engelberg, invests it with a peculiar charm. The clear emerald green lieuss issues from the lake with the swiftness of a mountain current. Its ' bauks are connected by four bridges! Close to the end of the lake crosses from the town to the railway sta tions, the second Caellbroacke, car* ried obliquely across the stream is covered witli a roof, which is deco rated with 154 paintings representing soenes from the lives of St. Lerdegar aud St. Mauritius, the patron Saiuts of Lucerna, and events from Swiss History. Crossing this bridge and examining these paintings, whicn were very Interesting as they were several hundred years old, was one of my morning visits. Adjoining tbe bridge in the middle of the r*ver rises the picturesque old Waesvrthurn, which contains the ad (uirably arranged archives of tbe town (Lucerna) and gave its name to the town. 8t. Peter’s chapel, at the north end of the bridge, possesses four modem altar*pieces by Desoh- wanden. The tnird bridge, the Reussbrucke, is constructed in a more modern scjrle. Tiie fourth, Muhlen. is roofed like the first, and adorned with paintings from the Dauce of Death. The Schweizerhof quay with its handsome hotels and fine avenues of chestnuts now occupies what was ODce an arm of the lake. The semi circular stone indicator on the para pet points out the principal places in the environs. On a slight emi nence at the east end of the quay- stands the Hofkirche, restored iu the 17th century, witli two slender tow ers erected in 1506. This church con tains a celebrated organ,performance on week days from 6J to 7^ o’clock. One franc admittance for those wish ing to hear this organ. A fine pul pit, Stall’s carved; stained*glass wiuilows aud two handsome side al tars with reliefs in carved wood dates from the 15th century, and represents tiie death of the Virgin. Tne church yard contains some good monuments, Not far from this church, Waggis gate, is the cole* bra'.ed Lion of Lucerne, executed iu 1821 to tiie memory of 20 officers and about 760 soldiers of the Swiss guard, who fell in defense of the Tuilleries on Aug. 10, 1792. The dying lion, 28 feet In length, recliniug in u grot to, transfixed by a broken lance and sheltering the bourbon city, With its paw, is hewn out of a natural Fundstone rock after a model by tne celebrated Thorwaldsen. In-crip* tion, “Halvetiorum Fidei AcVeituci Die X Augusti II Et III, Septem brim MDCCXGII.” The rock, which bears the inscription aud names of tiie officers is overhung with trees and creeping plants, a spring at. the top flows down over one side and forms a dark pool at Hie base surrounded by t rees ami shrubs. This work is extremely impressive and nfforJs a proof that, in time, art. the simplest idea carried out by a masterhand, never fails in its effect. To the left of the monument is the Glitsclier garten, which contains some very interesting remains qf it glacier of the ice period, with 18 holes formed by whirlpools of dif ferent sizes. The largest being 28 feet Wide and 33 feet deep; well pre* served rocks, done by the action of the ice; discovered in 1872. The various points are counected by means of steps and bridges, and the garden is laid out in an alpine style. A puvillion here contains Pfyffor’s relidf of Central Switzerland, on a scale of about 5J inches to the mile, 22i feet long and 12$ leet wide, and a relief of the Muothal. Another building contains a small collection of relics from lake Dwel* lings. To the right of the Lin mon ument is Strauffer’s museum contain ing about 600 stuffed alpine animals in groups.
