The bill was reported utit'uvot tiLly and was tabled. The bill to regulate asMgunieuts pass ed tin' Senate but was tabled in the House aud tho law remains unchanged. The bill changing the uiannor of pay ;; solicitors, giving them salaries instead of fees occasioned much di-ciis.-ion in the House. The committee reported it favor ably but recommended that tho salaries be made two thousand dollar! instead of eijditceti huiidred us the .Senate had fixed theui. It failed to pass its second read ing in the House. A bill has passed the House giving magistrates jurisdiction in assaults with deadly weapon whore uo damage is done. The committee on counties, cities aud towus has had before it a proposition to create the new county of Kiehlands out of a purtiou of Beaufort county. The committee at first reported unfavorably but at the request of the member from Beaufort agreed in repoit it without prej udice. It came f ir action Thursday, and after coiisideraide t-iscii-si'in pass.d iis second reading. The next day when it came up on its third reading it failed There is now pending a proportion to create a new county to be called Alii ance nut of portions of Northampton' liinieaiid Hertford. It is hardly prob able that it will pass. Due nl' the most soiious pieces of legis lation which has been attempted this ses sion was a bid to make justiliable the killing of man to s-'ductiuii of a married woman. Time was considerable discus Mutiover this ii ivel measure, but it was Uelcated. fcuch a law is not needed in Xiiili Carolina. No man is in danger king Iiuiil' for murder under such cir cuuixtaiicr, and be.-i.h'S such a law would Lave opened the way lor many abuses The bid was reported favorably by the judiciary committee. Among the more important bills which have been killul is that of Senator Wi; liauis of 1'itt to reduce the rate of inter est to six per cent. Senator Williams bus b.-en advocating this measure for some years aud wheu he saw the deter ffiiucd opposition to it he Daturally felt euru about it and made statements which Provoked an aeiiiunuious debate.

A number of counties asked to be excepted from the operatiou of the law and the vote on the amend meut to exclude these counties was a tie Lieut. Governor Holt cast the deciding vote in favor of the amendment, aud of course tho bill failed to pass. There could not be one rate in some counties uud another rate in 'others. Out' or two bills of a similar loihim nrit n.iw nendinsr ill the Huu-e and they will doubtless fail to i " pass aluo Wednesday of last week in the House Mr. 1'ritchard, Republican, offered a res olutiun instructing the judiciary commit tee to report a bill providing for letting out the publics priutiug to the lowest 1 ! 1 I . . . wuuer. hen the resolution came up Friday ou special order a motion was made to table and the motioti was carried Mr. 1'ritchard demanded the ayes and iocs, but the demaud was not sustained 'iu then moved to reconsider but this motion was also tabled. He was tryiu to make capital out of it. It looks rather strange that a Democratic paper should furnish ammunition for Republican guns The Senate accepted all the amend OH'Dts made by the House to the railroad commission bill except that which pro dded that under certain conditions rail 'oads should pay three times the value of Mock killed and the bill is now in the hands of a conference committee. It is probable that tho House will recede from this amendment, as soon as the bill is completed I will give your readers a syn opsis of it. People are always asking who will be made commissioners, but uo one has been able to answer this question. Nor will it be known with any degree of certainly until the caucus settles the mat ter. That will be done withiu a few duys after the bill is finally completed, A bill to tax dogs has been reported favorably by tho finance committee. The 'port was not unanimous but by a ma jority, It places a tax of fifty cents on ach male and one dollar on each female dog to he paid annually to the register of deeds who is to give the person paying the tax a license. Under this bill license is not required for dogs kept within en closures. The tax cues to the school fund of the several counties. TRANSPLANTING HEARTS A WONDKim i, ACHIEVEMENT WHICH A .MEXICAN PHVSICIAN CLAIMS TO HAVE ACCOMPLISH EH. Rufugia Gutierrez, a resident of the City of Mexico, is hero on a mission which will interest the entire medical world. He is a friend of Dr. Kr. Raph acl Martinez, u physician of the City of .Mexico, and is a guest at the Hotel Amir. tea Seiior Gutierrez, makes some remarka ble statements, a few of which will, with out tit nioN.s:ratioii, be taken literally by medical men cjC this city. Dr. Martinez, i . .. . ne nates. lias o: vtsr matte a specialty "I tin' eiicillation ot the blood and in Ins researches chiins to have ex ptTinionted suece.-slully in a most extra ordinary manner. Senor Gutierrez has tho reputation of being entirely trust worthy. In consequence, anything he say cai'iics with it much weight. A reporter af the Daily Coiitn-tt talked to tilt! seiior at his house yeteT lay. He is tall and swarthy, with a full, open countenance ami po reing hlaik eves. 'You will, perhaps, hardly credit inn," he began, as bis fingers were busy rolling a cigarette, 'but Dr. Martinez has taken the heart from one animal anil placed it in another, and vice versa. Strange to say no disagreeable effects were noticeable ami the animals, on recovering from an amcsilittie, were as well, apparently, as ever. Senator Guiterrez went on to say that Dr. Martinez had experimented success fully with cats and dugs, and would soon take the heart from a cow and place it in the body of a bull Dr. Martinez is so enthusiastic that he has petitioned the Mexican government to give him two criminals now under sen tence of death. The offer is under con sideration, and a reply to his request is expected in a few weeks. "IfDr Martinez secures permission to use the men," continued Senor Gutier rez, he will show the medical world that ho can do all becloims. He will, through a process which is yet a secret, transfer the hearts of men, one to the other, aud without the slightest injury to cither. The American as well as the European medical world will bo notified of the dale of tho experiment. The whole matter wiil be carried with all the publicity possible, so that scieuco and humauity may he benefited.'1 If Dr. Martinez's experiments prove successfully he will have accomplished a scientific feat thought to be impossible by all lent ned physicians. Certainly if all he claims can be demonstrated, his fame will be much greater than that of Dr. Koch's, or any other medical man who has ever lived. News from the City of Mexico and the experiments of Dr. Martinez will he awaited in this city with more than or dinarily interest. Tin Spanish doctor will receive all tho assistance required, and a movement is now on toot to raise a fund to enable him to carry on his ex periments. .New York continent.

Bill Arp" writes as follows on the Rev. Sam Jones: "Hu says that once he was preaching in a Western town and and had got wrought up in his feelings and was going along tcuder and pathetic in his appeal to sinners, when an old man ot up and stretched forth his hand and said; 'Brother Jones, Brother Jones, stop a minute just a minute. I just want to shout a little and say, Bless God, I'm happy on the way. Yes, happy on the way.' And ho sat down, shaking and sobbing with joy. "Sam paused for the affecting scene to lend its influences to his preaching, and then said to the old man: 'Well, my brother, don't you feel now like you had lost that fifty odd years of your life that you spent iu sin?" The old man rose up again and said: 'Well no, Brother Jones, not exactly. I can't say that. I wasn't as happy as I am now, but I did have a power of fun.' "On another occasion, while a revival was going on, Sam observed an old man in the congregation who seemed to be much affected, and going to him he asked if he felt that his sins were all forgiven. The old man rubbed his eyes with a red bau dana and murmured: 'Not all, Brother Jones, not all; but I th'nk a majority of 'em. " SHE SAVED HER BABY. THE HEROISM OF A YOUNG MOTHER AND A THRILLING UK-SCUK. During a small tenement house tire on the cast side this week there was a thrill ing incident that was not chronicled at the time. It occurred at a rear window in the second story. Tho flames had been extinguished with trining damage, but tho house was full of smoke. Suddenly a woman tottered to the open window. In her arms she held a bundle tightly clasped to her bosom. It was in white wrappings. Quickly the crowd of people in the yard below saw the woman. Great clouds of smoke whirled about her head in suffocating volumes, and the crowd called upon her to jump. She hesitated, but cxtcuded the bundle at arm's length, from which at that mo ment there came a faiut cry. It was a baby's voice. "Save my child!" implored the wo man. Instantly a blanket was procured aud strong men held its corners. "Drop it!" they shouted. With her face averted the agonized and imperiled mother let the baby fall. Dowu the little one fluttered like a whi'o winged wounded bird, with the despairing cry of "Mamma" upon its lips. Lightly it struck the blanket, and a moment later it was taken up safe ami sound, but sob bing, by a motherly-looking woman in the throng. It required but a few miuutes to raise a ladder anil rescue the self sacrificing ui ither from her perilous position and restore her dimpled darling to her arms. This touching rescue was loudly cheer ed bv tho sympathetic spectators. New York IhrM. An Attractive lomblnrd POCKET ALMANAC Hn1 MKMOK4NIMJM HOOK Ivortlln?

SICKLES STATES SOME OF THE REASONS FOR IT NEW VORIv's DEL- EGATION WILL HE SOLID FOR HILL. The Washington Post has interviewed General Daniel Sickles : When asked what he thought of Henry Watterson s letter to Gov. Uill the general bristled up and demanded to know what right tho fiery Kentuckian had to tell Gov. Hill that he should not be a presidential candidate it ho chose to be. "I doubt very much if such a letter ,w W!llt,.,on n,m,.u m W ,.nr. t,, Gov. Hill was ever written. I think Watter- son must have dreamed that he had writ- ten the letter." "If he did write such a letter he cer- tainly had no right to do so," continued the general. "Why should Walter- son or any other mau put himself up as the leader of the Democratic or any other party. This is a free coun- ,n,5 if fi..,..,.. Mill ri in-.. , . , , , r i , i i being a presidential candidate he has a perfect right, to do so without consult- ing Mr. Watter.-on. "Will Hill be a candid ito for the presidency?" was asked. "That'depen Is entirely upon circum stances, said Uen. Meucs. "So lar as I know, he is not now a candidate, but may bo if tho emergency arises. Why should New York have two candidates for ,1,1,1 olli,.,. ,,r for ,1. n.atier. ha oner oue tias iurnisneu i no ueniocraiic .,, . ,. i.i i. nominee tor uie pat iwenty-uve years, aud from tho way tho political clouds are driftint! it looks as though New York will uui get tho next Democratic nomi nee." "Then Cleveland and II til are both out of the race," suggested tho writer. "Well, that depends cutirely upon cir cumstances I can say this much on that subject: Gov. Hill will have the entire delc itiou to the next nalional cou- vention." "Yes. indeed," chimed in Gen. Spiuo . in e .

I'l ......1.. in Yi- V.,rl-''" "Yes, with a certain class of people," replied Gcu. Sickles. "He has a uiort ige on the Mugwump element all over New England, but Guv. Hill has the call' ou the rank and liie of the New YVrk democracy." ' A'iiat is tho secret of Hill's populari ty "Well, to begin with, he has the cdur- age ol dacuson auu tue aurouness auu , T I 1 . V 1. 1 cleverness of Van Burcn. With those two qualification' any man must necessa nlv be Dooular. 1 no people admire a courageous man above all others." "Is Hill as hostile to Cleveland as tho papers says lie is r That question I can only answer by asking whv should he be?" said the old veteran. 'Hill h is tho people of his own State back of him, and everything he asks of them he can get, and there is uo reason why he should be eternaily plan nina to kill olf Cleveland in order to pave Jtis own way to greatness, ne is the mo-t popular man in Now lork to day by long odds." " W hat effect will Cleveland's silver letter have upon his presidential possi bilities?" "It has made hitn popular witn tne business men ot e lurk and the Aew Knuland States, but has hurt him in the South and West.

A TIME FOR ALL THINGS. THE OLD MAN THOUGHT THE JCDtlE WAS GIVING HIM CIIESTNI.'TS. It became tho solemn duly of a Texas Judge to pass sentence ou an aired man named George Bliss for stealing a hog. - "It is a shame that a man of your ngt siioiiiu be giving up his mind to hog- stealing. Do you know any reason why sentence should not be pronounced on you according to law ?" "iNow, .Judge, was tho reply ot the aged sinner, Bliss, "this is getting to be a trifle monotonous. I would like to know bow a fellow ran manage to r.lease you judges. When I was only seventeen years old I got three years, and the judge said I ought to be ashamed of myself to be stealing at my age. When I was forty I got five years, and that judge said it was a shame that a man in his very best years should steal. And now, when I am seventy years of age, here you come and chew over the same old story. Mow. 1 would like to kuow what year ot a man's life is the best one, according to . .... ' . n ,!?
