The (?cnernl Assembly which recently adjourned appropri ated directly $954,671.70. This is money that will go through the State Treasurer's hands, under the appropriation bill and resolutions carrying direct appropriations. Il includes the appropriations for the interest on the State debi, the pen sion money, the ii 100,000 for Con-j federate pensions, the expenses lor elections, the pay for the Slate ofli- I cers, the support of the Stale col leges, the pay for the judiciary, the pay for the health department of the State and thc like. It includes ( he *:;;>,ooo appropri ated for the completion of Win throp College. It includes tho^lO,-. OOO for the erection of the inonu- | ment nt Chickamauga and the xio, 000 for the new brick building for the deaf, dumb and blind as^ lum. The appropriations that summar ized in the sum of &05 1,571.70 do not include the $ 175,000 which is lo go from the sinking fun 1 for thc completion of the Stale I louse. If this $175,000 were included it would bc seen that the appropriations would run considerably over the million dollar mark. All this shows thal the people of the Stale believe that there is an era of prosperity. When the agri cultural members of the two bodies realized that they had been getting more than seven cents for potion, which Ihcy planted willi tho expecta tion ?f getting not more llian live dents, they were disposed lo be liberal.

Man is horn to in!?' I lie world, I ..io I imus he mari ies and surrend t he joh. Some Whys Answered, It is not surprising what n number of littlo things wo do without know ing tho jonson. Why, for instnuoo, do widows wear caps ? Perhaps you may say bucauso they make them look pretty and interesting. But the real reason is that when tho Homans were in England limy shaved their hoad? as a sign of mourning. Of eourso a woman couldn't let hor Belf be seen with a bald hoad, so she made herself a pretty cap. And now, though tho necessity of wearing it has passed away, tho cap remains. Why do wo have bows on tho left sido of our hats? In olden times when men were much in the open air ali d hats couldn't bo bought for a half a dollar, it was tho habit to tie a cord around the crown and let the ends fall on the left. side to bo grasped on tho araising of a squall. They fell on tho left side so that they might bo grasped by tho loft hand, tho right usually being more usefully engaged. Later on thc ends got to be tied in a bow, and later still, they became useless, yet the bow has remained, and will pro bably remain till the next delugo or .something of that sort. What is tho meaning of the crosses or X's on a barrel of boer? They signify degrees of quality nowadays. Hut originally they were put on by those ancient monks as a sort of trade nuuk. They were crosses in those days, and meant a sort of oath on tho cross, sworn by the manufac turer that his barrel contained good liquor. Why are bolls tolled for tho dead? This has become so familiar a jprnc ticc that a funeral without it would appear un-Christian. Vet the reason is quite barbarous. Hells were tolled long ago, when people were being buried, in order to frighten away the evil spirits who lived in tho air. Why do fair ladies break a bottle of wine on thc ship they are christ ening? Merely another survival of barbaric custom. In thc days of sacrifico to tho gods it was custom ary to get some poor victim when a boat was being launched and go cut his throat over the prow, so that his blood baptized it. Why are dignitaries deafened by a salute when they visit a foreign port? It seems a curious sort of welcome, this firing off of guns, but il seems thc custom arose in a very reasonable way. Originally, a town or a warship fired off their guns on the approach of important and friendly strangers to show thal they had faith in tho visitors' peaceful in tentions as they didn't think it neces sary to keep their guns loaded. Why do we sometimes throw a shoe after a bride ? The reason is not very complimentary. From of old it has been the habit of mothers to chastise their children with a shoe. Hence thc custom arose of the father of a bride making a pres ent to the bri egroom of a shoo, as a sign that it was to bc his right to keep her in order.-Cincinnati in quirer. What is Home. Recently a London Magazine sent out 1,000 inquiries on thc question, "What is home?" In selecting tho classes to respond to the question it was particular to sec that every one was represented. Thc poorest and the richest were given au equal op portunity to express their sentiment. Out of replies received seven gems were selected as follows: 1. Home-A world of strife shut out, a world of love shut in. 'J. Home -The place where the small are great and the great are small. ?I. Home-The, father's kingdom, the mother's world ami the child's paradise. I, Home-The place where wo grumble most, ami are treated the best. fi. Home-The center of our affec tion, round which our heart's best wishes twine. (i. Home-Tho place where the stomachs get three square meals daily ami our hearts a thousand. 7.

Jn tba very interesting MOW wo>*k on "Thu Puritan Republic," tho au thor, Daniel Wait How?, points out that tho lack of trainod lawyers among tho Puritans of Massachusetts Hay resulted in various evils, among which were the prevalence nf unnec essary and trilling lawsuits, the tedi ousness and great length of their lawsuits, and the practice of consult ing magistrates in advance of suit to get private opinions on ex parte statements out of court. Hut thc greatest of these evil consequences resulting from tho want of skilled lawyers was doubtless the lack of tho influence of lawyors on public affairs. Tho dominant influence of tho clergy, undor which religious persecution became common and cruel, might have been held some what in chock ami its most terrible effects much mitigated if there had been a body of learned and able law yers in the community, such as af terwards began lo wield important influence for tho good of the .Stale. The value of lawyers to the Stale as a potent influence toward a safe and Rune public opinion has often been emphasized since Do Tocque ville, in his acute and statesmanlike observations on American life, de clared that, "when the American people is intoxicated by passion or carried away by the impetuosity of its ideas, it is checked and stopped by the almost invisible influence of ils legal counselors." Whim tides of passion run high, tho conserva tism of the legal profession is like an anchor. When fads of spurious re form or fallacious and specious theo ries threaten to captivate thc mass of the people, the trained intelligence and leadership of many lawyers con stitute a powerful influence for the preservation of sound judgment. Case and Continent. OASTOXIIA. Boara tho ygHio Kind You Have Always Bi More Dangerous than Fcdoral Bullets lt is said that when S tono wall .I ackson was once askoil ey i brother oflicor lo join him in a social glass, he replied: "N'o, 1 thank you; 1 never "WO it. 1 am more afraid of it than F?deral bullets." And ho was right about it. In tho first place, tho chances were gloater that ho would bo killed by tho glass if ho touch ed it than that ho would ho killed hy Federal bullets, tn tho second placo, tho bullets could only kill tho body, while tho glass destroys for timo and eternity. Ho foll a victim, not to Fcdor al bullets, but hy a most unfortunate accident to Confederate bullets, but on his deathbed he could say, "bot us pass over tho river and rest under tho shade of thc trees.''

Boars tho J* Ito Kind You Have Always Bought "Tho steady rise of farm products is in sympathy with tho iucroasod value of other commodios," says tho Louisville Courier .Journal, "continues to bo a no table feature of tho markets. Thc most striking of all, perhaps, is in colton, which has advanced about ?1(1 Oil tho .Mill pound bale. Tho increased price of the great Southern staple has como when thc cotton planter had almost despaired of over seeing tho quotations again reach lucrativo ligures." lt has also come when tho coll?n planier has parted with about all bis l otion, so that the lucrativo fig ures do not mean much lucio for him.

If Attucks, who fell by an ac cidental encounter, merits a<fitau,nli ment as the lirst who fell for liberty, so does this boy. There were few merchants in I biston who conti tined to sell taxed articles. They came to be despised and hated. Tho boys, in their hasty patriotism, made on a placard a list of names of those who imported and sold proscribed ar ticles, and put it on a pole that bore a wooden head and hand. They set this image up before an importer's dooi, with tho wooden hand point ing towards it, and this lade thu importer angry, :m< he (ired :i musket Into the crowd of boys. Christopher (lore, afterwards Governor of Massachusetts, was slightly wounded. Little Christo pher Synder, a boy whose mother was a widow, and who hud followed the spirit of the times, fell mortally wounded. They look up his form and bore it away, and the whole city wept. Never in America was there a boy's funeral like this. They made for him a patriot's collin and bore his form to thc Liberty Tree, which stood near the present corner of Washington and Ksscx streets. On the collin was this motto: "In nocence itself is not sah'." The boys of nearly all the schools, some six hundred in number, gathered around thu body :is au escort. The bells lolled, business was closed, and Home Hf teen hundred people followed thc first martyr to the grave. As the procession man lied not only lim bells of Posion, hut those of the neighboring towns, were heard toll ing. It \v:is almost spring, and there was a mellowness in the air. That procession was a prophecy of events to come, a protest against the injus tice of the royal power. Thc sons of liberty should remember little Synder's grave. Thc Likeness in Which Man Should he Made. Sam .Iones said in a recent, letter in the Atlanta Journal : Old Joe Ulackburn is the head of Democracy in Kentucky. Poor obi fellow! If I were going to make another like him, I would saw off a locust post smooth on lop, set, one end in the ground and set a jug half full of whiskey on thc other end, and I would have a dead match for old doe.

The two most absent minded nu n on record are the fellow who thought hu had left, his walch ?lt home, and Hu n took il out lo.see if he had lime lo ?;o back and get il; and the man who pul on his ellice door a card saying: "nui; will he back soon," and on his return, sal down on a stair step to wail for bim sell.

Journalism has advanced until il is become ono of the great controll ing forties of this world. Tho witty men, the droll mon, the satirical men, arc the spice and pop per of journalism.
