Valentine's Day The r lltn year brinks round this festivil day lor the mirth mak. rs a id scribblers, who l ave for ono unbridled license to tbluge the mai's with wok! cuts and droil verses, which they intend as hits at or s .tires upon unfortunates. The s?rdi nit ntal porod of Valentines h.n loui past aud the grossly comical, if not vulvar one, has to a large ext-mt usurp ed its place. Their foie the eatjn. atui es that ormuient shop waidojrs, and wbos purchase drl ghu the suiail boys a)d their elders. Thus it i that what was oucn a dil ghtful and most inno cently pleasant occasion has deg nerat. ed into a time of licence. Most of tbe missives go to those who laugh at them but not a few reach those who are hurt by their receip'. If the days of the rea'ly comic valentine could cm o back things would bo better.

One morning Leo XIII, was about to eat iome raw ercs, as it is his wont every morning, and requested Com mauder Sterbiui, tho gentleman serving him, to bring him some salt to tt-ke with them. Sterbiui, presenting tbe salt on a solid silver tray, accit'en'aUy let it slip from bis hands, and the ealt fell, but only on the table. The I'opo rose immediately, carefully lookinz to see whether any of the grains 1 ad r. ached the ground.

Mr. Am s -a, d the bill bad beeu care full considered and was lavoi ed. 1 be tax foe had lrom time immemorial lie n put in bilis of cost, but the attor ney s oid not express disfavor towards the bill. The taxing of cos's with tbes lees oft n worked a baidship. H . therefore, opposed the snbst tti e. Mr. Vaugnan argued in favor of b s substitute, which abolished aitoruey'r. fees, but taxes the costs for parties wronged, a m. asure of sheer just ice to such ii jur. d person'. R-ma.ks were made on thesnbj ot by Messrs.

This was accepted. Mr. Lockbart took both a humorous ai d -erious view of the subject. He thought there was no peculiar amend ment in the law as to the taxing lees, and that tbe b'll would net relieve peo ple, as was thought, since the law at present was not oppressive.

It is wise to make this, heciine it will all v the counties to p:ovid j for the suppirt of those people. I hiiliH thought just and p. per, and there ore avoiea tun ma jo. i y r p rr.. Mr. J ui-. s moved to indefinitely tost- poue the whole matter. This bill or something similar, was one of tho cou s'uuuon.i ainetwm ius proposed in 1872. am! it was shown then and can be uow that it. works a hatdship t tho poor ius ne. The Insane Asylum i a i di'geneiatoil almost into a puvato i . i 'l Simmon, wnuo jojur utnoi tuoa'es were couti'.ied in j ills m t heir c u ities. In dieut insane of this State had hem re fued admissiou t j tho usyl uu, while paying patients from Georgia nn! Sou'h Carolina were admitted. M'-. Noimeut sai l uuder th a neadmoin proposed by the minority rep irt, th- asluui would ii t be b mud o tak-. care of any deaf and dumb, blind' or insane, save those "indigent." Mr. Jonei a-kd if tin hr no cucumstauoes a licU poison should gel iu the asylum by payiug the charges. Mr. Normcnt thought suoh a contingency woul 1 not aiise, as persons who could pay wi u'.d ko t private i sylums lie tii ugf.t lhe State should pay f r tue support of these poor creaturos. Mr. York said the ainouu s pai 1 tuit of tho treasuiy no'.v wore very onerous to tbe Siate, and continually incr. asin as a burden, l'ass the bill and t hr Sate will have some op i-.n iu theie Cibrs. The dodg.-s and tricks of uoug'-s anci hicks oi ine counties to obtain these payments is draiuiug the Treasury so that lh" pe -pie cry out agaiusi it. He favored the majority view. Mr. Blocker took Ibo same view, as there was an urgent necessity for siuh a change in c insti tution, as tbe present burden upon the S.te was too grievous to bo borne. So great was it that the Stato could not by. any chanco bear it. Mr Ellison opi'os d the minority viow of the matter, and opposed tho b 11 iu ail re spec s. Mr Vaughan siid the people h;vl a ready sull'eied eiiuu h by the ir 'M-bouud constitution of tbe State. The mudilory sh:-li" has, like other words, given great trouble.

Mr nail mger said it was the peop e s de.-iiie to take out the word "shall with its mandate aud put in its place the word "ma;.," widob had tloxibil ty of c u'stiu -ti oi. Tho baok'upt State must lift this burden from her shoul ders. 1 ue count es should be reeiMni siMe. for tho supp rt t.f theso people. : Tlu re was now much wrong none the j . -i-i itale bv tho c uuty ciiarges, wmciii wiong should bo properly rightef.

He then read tne minority repoit and Ut tected utws iu its verbiage wbi ;h militated a rainst its force. He said tho State should not beae impaitia'ity towards any of hoi cit z us. 15ut while tins was a r ict il was not rtviht to turn our t.iosi; upon wbo-.n fate had U'd a 1-eivy laid up in ;i c II wml I.
