Ihe report of the grand jury of Oconee county, Ga., shows the short- age iu the tax accounts of ex- Tax Col- lvotor J. AN . Johnson to be $4,500, anti possibly more. Fifteen hundred of this amount is due the state, and $3,000 to the county. His bondsmen will probably be held responsible for tho amount. It is un- derstood, however, that they propose t iig.it it on the ground that tho gran.l juries ha<! previously reported that the books of tax collector wore correctly kept.

ARGUMENT IN RYDER CASE Will It© H card |jy tho Supreme Court tin February 15th. I The supreme court has set Febru- ary 15th as the date for hearing of the argument in the Hyde v case. The case was appealed to the su- preme court from the lower court, tho appeal for a new trial being based on sixty-seven grounds. Ono of the grounds on which the motion is made is an affidavit to the effect that M. H. Jamerson, one of the jurors in tho case, expressed himself beforohaud, saying that the prisoner should be hanged. An affidavit has boon received from Jamerson, who is in Texas, slitting that he did not state any such thing. The affidavit comes too late, however, to be used in the record that will be pre¬ sented to the supreme court. Diamond Thief in Limbo. Andrae Manro was arrested at New York Friday, accused with having, with two others, stolen a package of dia¬ monds from George E. Gall, a jeweler, of New Orleans. The robbery occurred on December 2.

HICRPAGUB CANAL BILL AGAIN UP. Another Mnv© lly Chandler In the Direct¬ ion of Bimetaltom—Consular Appvo- priafiou flu) Passed By House; An additional movement in the di¬ rection of bimetallism was made in the senate shape Tuesday by Air. Chandler, in the of a resolution declaring that the United States should not perma¬ nently acquiesce in the single gold standard, and that the efforts of the government in all its branches should be directed to secure and maintain the use of silver as well as gold as standard money, with the free coinage of both, The resolution went over with notice from Mr. Clttadler that he. would address the senate upon it. The conference report on the immigration bill was taken up aud was opened in a long speech by Mr. Gibson, democrat, of Maryland. A defense of the conference commit¬ tee and the bill was made by Mr. Lodge. The remainder of the day’s session was taken up by the Nicaraguan canal bill. Mr. Vilas, democrat, of Wisconsin, who had the floor to con- tinue his speech against it, gave notice of a substitute for the bill which would provido for the appointment of An inter-oceanic canal commission. Notice of anotlier amendment was giv- en by Air. Teller, republican, Colora¬ do, also providing for a survey before any canal bonds aro guaranteed by the government of the United States, and that if tho cost should be reported as exceeding #150,000,000 no bonds shall he guaranteed. Nearly all of Tuesday’s session was spent by the house in listening to a discussion of the controversy now rag¬ ing between two electric lighting com- panies in the 1). J trict of Columbia. The bill remains the unfinished husi- ness on the mlendar. The house pass¬ ed the diplomatic and consular appro¬ priation bill. The consulate at fhir- gen, Switzerland, salary 82,000, was abolished and the total ap)>ropriation reduced to $1,675,708. The Usual res¬ olution was agreed to providing for il joint session, tlie of congress on the 10th to count electoral vote aud declare the result. The disclissioii bi the contested elec¬ tion case of George W. Cornett vs. Claude A. Swanson, from the fifth dis¬ trict of Virginia, occupied nearly the whole of Wednesday’s session of the house, and by an overwhelming vote, Mr. Swanson’s title to the seat was confirmed by the house. Tho two resolutions offered some days ago by Mr. Allen, populist, of Nebraska, looking to the impeding or preventing of the Ralo of tho Union Pacific railroad property under a judi¬ cial decree of foreclosure, wore dis¬ cussed in the senate Wednesday at much Nicaraguan length and finally went over. The canal bill was before the senate for the remainder of the day’s session; Mh Vilas occupied the floor all the time in the delivery of hi s third day’s speech against the bill. The house Thursday passed several minor bills and then" considered the Districtof Columbia appropriation bill. Tho senate had a lively debate Thursday over an effort by Mr. Mor¬ rill, of Vermont, to pass a bill prohib- ing the sale of intoxicants in the oapi- tol building. Mr. Hill moved to com- mit the bill to the rules committee and in a sharp speech criticised the ‘‘busy bodies” who were maligning congress by asserting that saloons existed in the capitol and denounced the attempt to interfere with personal lib¬ erty. His motion failed by 27 to 30, and then he talked against time till 2 o’clock when under the rule the Nicaraguan bill was to be taken up again. The senate by a vote of 35 to 13 adopted, however, a motion to take up the conference report on the immigration bill. At the request of several senators Air. Lodge agreed to allow the immigration bill to be com¬ mitted for modification in the age and illiteracy provisions and moved that the senxte disagree to the conference report. The consideration of the senate bill for an international monetary confer¬ ence was postponed Thursday by the house committee on coinage until Sat¬ urday. NOTES. The government of Venezuela has retained Hon. William L. Scruggs as its agent in the haudling of its case before the arbitrators created under the treaty which has just been signed. Representatives of the sugar grow¬ ing interests are making an effort to secure from congress an appropriation of $10,048,000 to settle the balance of the bounties which they claim aro due them under the act passed in the last session of the fifty-third congress. This act gives the sugar growers some¬ thing over #5,000,000 for the bounties which w ere guaranteed them by the McKinley law, but wero cut off by the Wilson tariff act. A bill providing for the creation of a cabinent position to be filled by a secretary of labor was discussed Wed¬ nesday by tho house committee on labor. The senate committee on naval af¬ fairs had under consideration Thurs¬ day tho draft of a report on the armor plate investigation which had been prepared by Senator Chandler, but adjourned until Tuesday without com¬ pleting the work. Tho prieo of armor plate was not reached, but will be taken up at the next meeting. The senate committee on interstate commerce agreed Wednesday to report Senator Tillman’s bill giving states the same control over liquor imported from other states that they have over liquor manufactured within their own borders. Some amendments are re¬ commended. It is stated upon excellent authority that applications for apj oiutraont to the diplomatic and consular “«ixice will not be eon April applj^to 1st. the ThisjB” W 5 3b. whii#Pwi!I nn^ > THE BARTOW PHILOSOPHER PLAYS THE ROLE OF NURSE.

I ve never seen one of the stock that wasn’t full of mischief and frolic. Thought I would take a little nap on the sofa while they played around, but it was no use. Thev got all the chairs in a row and played railroad and locomotive awhile. Then they played soldier, and fired guns and killed one another and fell dead. Then they played horse and run round the center table. I thought the little girls would get tired after a while and settle down to their dolls and make a playhouse,but the boy didn’t like that so the racket continued. They down turned the chairs upside down and slid the banks headforemost and rolled over and turned sommersaults, and then jumped shook oil the table and the lounge and the floor and made the windows rat- tie Jike an earthquake. Will they never got tired? thought I. No, never. But by and by, when my wife came home she sottled them down .and played club fist and trimble- fcoo with them and I had peace. My folks havo got an idea that it suits me to take oare of the children, and tho children have an idea that they are to do as they please when there’s nobody about but mo, and so I suffer myself imposed on and feel like an Injured person.

What a weight of oare and anxiety presses continually upon the heart of a mother. How often do her pray¬ ers ascend to heaven in tho dark watches of tho night—prayers for their health, their welfare, their good conduct, their salvation. But with all the cares, anxieties and fore¬ boding, family children are our greatest blessing hnd the the gferttest bulwark of good society and good government, it Is the law Gf our being that mrtn and woman should Ituito anti mtltry tlnd reaf children, and thero is no substitute titute for . _ tiio .__________ marriage oiiTid _ ______ felhtjon.

I’rnyors or medicine or good nursing or something saved her, and we are all grateful. What is the value ot a child, anyhow? If ono was up at auction what would tho mother give? How insignificant is property or gold or silver when compared with it. What are wo all working for but children, their happiness and prosperity? Daniel Webster, tho greatest man tills coun¬ try has ever produced, said: “A good fattier will shrink from no toil, no sacrifice to raise his children to a hotter condition than his own.” brought If before I was a judge and ft father was mo for stealing or even for robbing, I would seek to know the hidden motives that promptod him to tho e,rimo. Many for a man tho Steals children, or cheats to got some¬ thing and tho World Is out¬ raged and calls him ohaingting. a thief and the law sends him to the But after all, it is the mother who screens thorn, protects them and wraps them in her bosom.

The little hoy wo have with us is a young cyclone and keeps the homo in an uproar. When I get outraged with his tu¬ multuous racket and threaten him with pun¬ ishment, my wife takes his part and says he is nothing but a baby. Yes, a fonr-year-old baby who slams the door like an athlete forty times an hour and don’t mind anybody and I oould regu¬ late him in an hour if I had my way.

Ho is nothing hut a baby, but he takes the dog to tho cow lot and sets him on the cow, and whom I tell him that the cow will horn him and that sho gives him milk, he saj*s ho don’t want any more milk. He lets the chickens out of tho coop, but he is nothing hut a baby. But I’ll get him before the year is out—see if I don’t. I’ll do like Dick Johnson, who was trying to raise his boy on love. But the boy got so bad that one day Dick picked up a lath and walloped him good. It was a desperate remedy and had a fine temporary effect, and Dick walked the piazza with a triumphant stride. “I told you I was going to whip you, sir. For live long years I have promised you a whipping and now you have, got it, you son of Belial.” And Dick puffed and hlowed like he had fought a great battle and whipped the light. He bragged about the performance for a week. But it didn’t do the boy any lasting good. The whipping came just live years too late. I never did take much stock in bad little boy's. They aro a nuisance, not only at and home, but abroad. Boys rhyme with noise, tho iittio rascals want a gun or some fire crackers or a drum or a tin horn. It always seemed strange to me that moth¬ ers love their boys better than their girls,but I reckon it is rigid. I have known boys who had no other friend. A father loves his boys according thorn to their conduct, but a moth¬ er loves anyhow. A sweet little girl is a treasure in the fam¬ ily. Sho is very close kin. to the angels.

The total number of Lomotives June 30, 1895, in the employ of the railways of the United States was 35,- 699j being an increase of 207 over the previous yertr. The overage annual increase since 1890 has been 1,112. The railroad across Siberia is working order from St. Petersburg to a point beyond Krasyonask. If work is carried on at the present rate of speed it is probable that the line may be completed in 18 98, in¬ stead of 1905. It is estimated that a good railway engine will travel about 1,000,090 miles before it wears out. However, the life of an engine depends, as to its length, upon the treatment it receives. With ordinary care it ought to last twelve years. A depot has IxSeiii established in London where motor vehicles ffifiy be repaired and stored.
