To begin vwith . the calling of the-ses-Bion, a morerverbose, long winded and an tiquated document is not in use in any modern legislatire body. : r ": This antedilnvian document is sent to the 800 knights and 45 burgomasters, 1ut only - 30 or 40 put in their appearance. Judging from the size of the hall of ses sion, both at Sternberg and Maichin, where the sessions are held alternately, this has never been otherwise; Were they all to appear, the hall rould not hold half the number. Only when a measure that may in prin ciple curtail their rights and privileges is on the docket the knights show up long enough to ,"kiir' the bill This done, they betake themselves again to their estates. A member of the Mecklenburg diet is not an ordinary mortal. He is not oblig ed to undergo the ordeal of a political campaign in order to obtain a seat, like deputies in the other German federal states. The ownership of a freehold gives him a seat in the diet. Nor does he for feit his prerogative by legal offenses which elsewhere deprive the offender of all civil rights and honors. Only in case of bankruptcy and mental depravity must he discontinue the exercise of his rights. Daily allowances are not granted him. However, they are quite unneces sary, as he enjoys a large number of oth er valuable privileges. Perhaps the most valuable of these Is the one which exempts his estate from the oppressive "canon," or perpetual lease tax, while the copyholder or peasant is groaning under the burden. After the knights and burgomasters have convened the land marshals inform the commissaries, who represent the grand dukes, that the freeholders have ap peared. The commissaries then proceed with much ceremony to the hall of session, where first the commissary of Mecklen-burg-Schwerin and then his colleague from Mecklenburg-Strelitz (both grand duchies have a joint diet) read the old styled summons, after which it is handed to the marshal. The capita, also drawn up in the sixteenth century court style, enumerates the business which the-college of serenissimos has selected for the de liberations, including also the petitions that have been received. Parliamentary rules do not exist. The presiding knight is perfectly free to take up any bill he chooses, and only rare ly, that is hi important matters, has the subject been discussed in committee before reaching the house. The knights divide all business into two classes, styling the one "indifferent mat ters," the other "matters pertaining to the prerogatives of the knighthood." , As only the latter really receive the full at tention of the knights they are, upon the whole; the representatives of their own interests. In case the minority, that is, the 45 burgomasters, as against the 800 knights, wishes to defeat a measure, the two par ties, the knights and the burgomasters, give their formal statements, whereupon the matter is placed upon the table. The minority prefers this absurdity to a joint ballot in which it would be overwhelmed. The general order prevailing in the Mecklenburg diet has become proverbial throughout the German empire, and the subject of much ridicule and comment. The tumultuous scenes that often take place remind one of the former Polish diet. Rules for the floor do not exist. Twen ty-seven members may speak simultane ously as long as they please without be ing called to order by the chairman; nor is. it necessary to be granted the right of the floor - by the chairman in order to 4 i 'Tbe quantity orquinine taken Ty dr-j is something simply incredible,!, said 'a?

I soon scraped 'an acquaintance with the engineer and made bold to inquire what in the world he wanted with such a. supply. 'Are you getting it on a specula tion?'! asked, with . a vague idea that ft might be intended for- some Mexican army contractor. He laughed heartily.! 'Speculation nothing,', said he. This all goes to our little colony of Americans back in the interior, and it won't last very long, either.' With that he drew a penknife from his pocket, opened a blade that had been ground off round, : like a spatula, and thrust it into one of the cans.- He brought out a flaky, white mass enough to heap a teaspoon put it on his tongue andswallowed it like so much sugar. 'Haye you any Idea how many grains you are taking?' ! asked in amazement. 'Only approximately he re plied carelessly. 'A man quits weighing quinine after he has been down here a few months.' '.That was my first encounter with a bona fide quinine eater," the coffee plant er went on, "but I met plenty of them afterward. They generally keep the stuff in rubber tobacco pouches to protect it from perspiration, and when they feel like taking a dose they , dig in with one of those spatulated knives that they" all carry and swallow as much as they see fit. As they go entirely by guess, it is hard to say how much will be taken in the course of a day, but I have weighed the amount -that can be lifted on the ordinary knife blade and found it to range between 25 and 50 grains. You Bee, quinine is as compressible as cotton, and two wads of it that look about the same size will vary a hundred per cent in weight. "One would suppose, as a matter of course, that such enormous quantities of the drug would produce an intolerable ringing in the head; but, strange to say, they do nothing of the kind. The aver age white man down there who keeps un der the influence all the time experiences nothing except a slight feeling of ex hilaration at least so I was assured by dozens of habitues. Whether the use of the stuff is of any real benefit is some thing I am skeptical abouL I never took' a grain of it myself, and I was the only man on our plantation who didn't have a touch of fever."

There have been many instances in which fights have" been lost or won ac cording to the number and condition of the horses engaged: When the siege of Plevna commenced, the Russians were bringing all their stores and food from Sistova by the aid of 66,000 draft horses, and at the end of the siege it was found that no less than 22,000 of them had died from hard work and exhaustion. The want of rest and food tells on a horse far more than on a man, for in the case of the latter there are stimulat ing influences of patriotism, the glory of victory and other feelings which. are not existent in the nature of a horse. Quite half the horses in England sent to the Crimea never returned, most of them having died from hard work and starva tion. Indeed, only about 500 were killed in action. So reduced and starved have the poor beasts become on occasions of this kind 6.10am 2.40pm 12.15am Lv. .Ashe ville . ..Ar. 1.10pm 5.151., Situ 7.32am 4.02pm 1.29am Lv .Hot Springs. . r. 11.45 am 4.00am 7.4lpa 9.25am 6 55pm 3.0 am Lv .Morriatown ..Ar. 9.50am 2.S0am Cmpe -u.uu.Am Y.wpm 4.a m uv .

Napoleon took with lonppst prevails There is one advantage in the Mecklen burg methods, they expedite matters im mensely, still leaving every member an opportunity for the full expression of his opinion. , Mecklenburg has no constitution in tne modern sense of the word. The absolute rights of the duchy are limited only by a knighthood. A popular representation, as In all the other German states, cannot be spoken of. Two-fifths of the country, which is di rectly subject to the grand dukes, has no representation at all. One-fifth Is made np of the cities which are represented in the diet by tne burgomasters. As, how ever, the latter receive their appointment him 'across the Nieman 60,000 cavalry horses, and on his return in six months he could only muster 16,000. More than half the horses which were engaged in our Egyptian war of 1882 were disabled. Six hundred of these were killed and only three-fifths slain in .action. In the Afghan war of 1838 it is said that 3,000 camels and half the horses engaged were lost in three months. . It will thus be seen that actual fighting does not claim so many horses as starva tion or overwork. Defective shoeing,' sore backs, want of . food and rest and other similar causes go far toward ren dering horses useless for practical war fare. One more and important cause needs careful attention, and it is the, fmm tho ffnwmmptit withnnr nnv ore-1 danger of injury horses run -.when beint? vious consultation of the wishes of the 1 shipped across thej5ea.They are in con- cities, they, are creatures of the grand j stant motion, itiey continually fall, dukes. The remaining two-fifths are com posed Of .the knighthood, with 1,020 es tates owned byJ 800 .knights.

As an instance of this, it was found that one regiment on the wnv to the Peninsular war was deprived of just half of its horses on the voyage.
