esa SrtA Ho “by General Marcus J. Wright (late -i8 now ready, and contains the fol- Compromise Adyocated. Washington, 1). C., Oct. 4.—Mr. Blackburn (Dem.,) of Kentucky, ad- dressed the Senate in opposition to the bill. Ae did not favor either the Houee bill or the Senate substitute. He was a bimetallist in the broadest and truest sense of the word. He did not want to see the country go upon a single standard. If, however he were forced to an election be- tween the two metals for a standard he would prefer the silver. Mr. Washburn believed that the repeal of the Sherman law was the first step toward real bimetallism “This was th- first time on rec ord,” said Mr. Blackburn, “when de- capitation of the patient was recom mended asacure. It seemed to be the policy to kill the patient and leave his body unburied and trust to God Almighty to revive it. The re peal of the Sherman law would not cure the troubles under whieh the country labored. The tariff system must be reyised and its prohibitive features eliminated. Wider markets must be obtained for the products of labor. The financial system must be revised and remodeled. Gold and silver must be made the standards. The paper money issued must be based upon the bimetallic standard, and should be issued directly through the Government and not be filtered through the agents of petted aud fostered national banks; the 10 per cent tax on State banks currency be repealed; the Government must be economically administered, and the pension list purged of peculation and fraud.” Mr. Blackburn hoped a comprom- ise would be reached that would be satisfoctory to all shades of opinior. He had but one condition to impose upon a compromise. Unlock the doors of the mints to the silver met- al. “Mr. President, the people are de manding a settlement of this quer- tion. The people are impatient, and have a right to be impatient, stand ing as they do in the midist of deso lation. They want the issue sett! ed, and, for one, I here declare I will have no part nor hand in delay ling its settlement,” Mr. Blackburn regretted that it had been intimated that the Admin- istration was a party to the conspir- acy that had brought the recent trouble upon the country. He then entered into a long defense of the Administration. If the Administra- tion had yielded to the demand for the issuance of bonds the panic would not have come but this Ad- ministration was the first in thirty years to take Wall street by the throat and refuse to accede to its selfish demands. In conclusion, Mr. Blaékburn said: “I appeal to those of my party who sit around me, who have been trusted to guard the fortunes and guide the destiny of the party to which we belong, lead us, I pray Confederate Pomes.

THE FLOWER GARDEN. Tue colder the room the less water the window plants require, unless it be the calla lily, which is always thirsty. HARDWARE paper answers well for tying around roses and young trees for protection from cold, and is very easily applied. To rtp your plants of green fly and red spider, make carbolic soapsuds, and dip into it a flat camel's hair brush. Sweep this over the flies who will ad- here to it and may be removed by dipping again in the soapsuds. To RD your flower pots of worms dis- solve half an ounce of corrosive subli- mate in a quart of water; add a table- spoonful of this to a gallon of water, and water the plants not oftener than once a week, taking care not to pour it on the leaves. If there are any worms they will scramble to the top. To KEEP the window plants from freezing at night, put several thick- -nesses of newspaper between them and thé Window; or setthem on the floor, putting the tallest in the center, and ver>with the newspapers. News- pipers keep out the cold better than cloths do, and not being so heavy and being somewhat stiff, will not injure delicate plants.—Farm Journal. HOMELY WRINKLES. Look on the bright side. Ir the kitchen table has no casters buy & set and have them put in. It avill save 8 ( deal of strength. MASHED ‘potatoes are much improved by being well beaten with ag fork or wire spoon after they are mashed fine, and seasoned with Salt and milk. Woork® underwear has a sweeter, more delicate odor, if left rough dry and pulled into shape. It saves the shrinkage caused by ironing, as well. Drr dishes in hot water and wipe, rather than set them in the oven to be- come fire cracked and brown, or on the stove shelf to grow dusty and soil the tablecloth. HAVE a pair of crocheted bedroom shoes coming high up the ankle with which to patter around the room at night, or to slif'on when getting up ip the morning to start the fire. THE W. RLEY OAKS. Ancient Trees of Wondrous Reanty in the State of Massachusetts. The great oaks at Waverley, Mass. are survivals of anoak forest that must have ted in that regiou, actéording to the geologists and students of trees, as far back as the tenth century. They bear every evidence of great a. an elm tree in the neighborhood. now almost dismantled, with its great limbs lying on the ground and nearly all of its branches decayed, is the most vener- able object in the line of trees that can probably be displayed in any part of New England. It is well worth a visit to Waverley just to see this venerable elm. It is immense in the size of its trunk, and its dignity in decay is very impressive. The dozen oak trees in the neighborhood are of the sort that at- tain a very gr age, and that main- tain their virility unimpaired. We know of only one other oak tree in New England, says the Boston Herald, that ean be compared with them. That 1s located in Ipswich, and is larger and more venerable, apparently, than any of the Waverley oaks, and that and the Waverley oaks, we are glad to know, have been inspected by the state park commissioners and are likely to be pre- served. Itis worth one’s while to see and study these majestic oaks. They are seen to great advantage in the win- ter, when their rugged limbs are bare and their immense strength is revealed, and in summer, when they are covered with foliage, they are abjects of won- derful beauty. The state of Massachu- setts has a duty to enfranchise these trees and make them public property. They are the glory of the state, and al- most as much an object of interest as the old state house, or the venerable structure called the Old South Meeting- house. SAVED A DOZEN LIVES. Presence of Mind and Commendable Pluck of a Colorado Mine Owner. “T have heard of some rare presence of mind,” said a reporter for the St. Lot lobe-Demo- erat, “but I saw a a few days ago that struck me as among the r We were coming south on the Santa Fe from Denver a few nights before Christ- mas. At about two o'clock in the morn- ing, somewhere north of Colorado Springs, we went over an embankment. The pzpers were full of it and I won't go into details, but nobody knows how a millionaire saved the lives of a dozen people that awful morning. As soon as Wetaime to our senses we all tried to get out of the sleeping car. When we did we found that the forward end was afire. Jast then Bill Yankee, a million- aire mine-owner, who has property all over the state of Colorado, grabbed up an armful of blankets, and, jumping across the flames, landed in a deep snowdrift. He was barefooted and clad only in his underclothes, but he didn’t seem to mind that.a bit. He spread out a blanket, piled it full with snow and threw it over the flames. This he did time and time again until he had the blaze completely smothered. There wasn't another man in the car who would have thought of that but Yan- kee, and I tell youit was a plucky thing todo. I don’t know whether I'd like to freeze or roast to death. It looked as though it would have to be one or the other there for a while, but Yankee’s nerve saved i cases of ler to a GLADSTONE AS A READER. It Is the Premier's Habit Never to Lose a Minute’s Time. It is rather discouraging to know that if one should read more hours a day than the average American is able to spend away from business, he would be able to read only a few of the works that are really worth reading. Mr. Gladstone, however, is not to be discouraged by this knowledge. He goes upon the principle that the only way to get any reading done is to read. In a volume of conversations, recently translated. Dr. Dollinger said: “I think it was in the year 1871 that | remember his (Gladstone’s) paying me a visit at six o’clock in the evening. We began talking on political and theological sub- jects, and both became so engrossed with the conversation that it was two in the morning when I left the room to fetch a book from my library bearing on the matter in hand. I returned with it in a few minutes and found Mr. Gladstone deep in a volume he had drawn out of his pocket—true to his principle of never losing time—during my momentary absence. And this at the smal! hours of the morning.” The Andes Sinking. The startling announcement is made that the whole range of the Andes is slowly sinking into the earth’s crest. As proof of this La Gazette Geograph- ique says that Quito was 9,596 feet above the level of the sea in the year 1745; in 1800 it was only 9,570; in 1831, 9,567, having sunk 26 feet in the 55 years fol- lowing 1745, and but three feet during the 31 years which intervened between 1800 and 1831. In 1868 the city’s level had been reduced to 9,520 feet above the level of the Pacific ocean. To sum up the total, we find that Ecuador's capital has sunk 76 feet in 122 years. Antisana’s farm, the highest inhabited spoton the Andes (4,000 feet higher than Quito itself, which is the highest real city on the globe), is said by the, same authority to be 218 feet lower than it was in 1745. The Lady in the Moon. It is left to our four hundredth cen- tennial to celebrate a charming dis- covery. It seems not to be generally known that the regal “man in the moon,” who for ages or eons has been looked upon as the sole ruler of his planet, shares.his throne and divides his honors with the loveliest semblance of woman. Would you see her at her best let it be on a cloudless night as near the full of the moon asx possible. Use a good opera or field glass. Be patient; some fail to find her at first. The face is in profile and looks toward your left as yon gaze, occupying half the surface of the moon; the hair dark and coiled rather high; her throat and neck are radiantly beautiful Be yond her profile is seen the dark face of @ man looking straight forward. GETTING OFF THE STREET CAR. | A Reason Assigned for the Woman’s | Habit of Stepping the Wrong Way. Many women descend from a horse | ear in exactly the wrong w ays the j New York Sun, that is, they grasp | the handrail of the platform and face away from the horses as they step off, instead of grasping the handra’ tached to the body of the ing to the front, as one shou conductor who runs a car upon what may be called a trunk line, that is, a | line running north and south upon one | of the busiest ave s that he« | serves no substantial change or im- provement in women in this respect, | notwithstanding the fact that more or lless has been printed on the sabject. |He mentioned as an_ illustration « young woman who had ridden upon his ear for a number of rs. Her oceup: tion is one requiri special intel gence, but she gets off a horse car now | just as she did at first. j The conductor, however, ascribed this habit on the part of women, not to | any perverseness, nor even to thought- | lessness, but toa very simple original | cause. The driver of the car must not, | when he stops, permit the r form to obstruct the cro: more likely to run past it a little than | he is to halt upon it or even upon the edge of it. The conductor szid that when the car did stop with the plat- form over the crossing, a woman would perhaps step straight off, not turning in either direction; but that when, as more frequently happened, the plat- form was just beyond the crossing, the woman would grasp the platform rail and step facing away from the horses, so that she might take the fewest possible steps upon the rougher, and perhaps dirtier, street pavement, and reach as quickly as possible the smoother, dryer and cleaner crosswalk aes. 89 r plat- ing: he is BLUE-EYED INDIANS. Supposed to Be Descended from Wrecked Swedish Satiors. The Mayas, inhabiting the Sierra Madre mountains in the lower part of Sonora, are supposed to be the de- scendants of the crew and passengers of a Swedish vessel wrecked on the coast long centur vefore the birth of Columbus. They ‘e, aecord- ing to the St. Louis Globe-Democzrat, a tradition that their ancestors “came in a great canoe over the big salt water many hundreds of moons ago.” They have never been conquered by the Mex- icans. They are nominally under Mexican rule, but are in reality governed by their own chiefs. Whenever the Mex- ican government interferes with them they take up arms and they have got the best of every scrimmage thus far. The Yaquis are their neighbors and these two war-like tribes have reciproe- ity reduced to a science. Whenever the government interferes with the Yaquis the ayas come to their assistance and vice versa. Mexican troops cannot stand before Mayas or white Indians. They are the most desperate fighters on the North American continent. Like their neighbors, the Yaquis, they are mostly Catholics. Although quite prim- itive, almost savage, in their mode of life, the standard of morality is high. They live principally by the chase, but cultivate some corn and garden truck in the valleys. The men are large, well- formed and some of the women remark- ably handsome blondes. They all re- tain traces of their Swedish ancestry and the linguists say that their lan- guage evidences a North European an- cestry. THE FIRST PAPER. From China Ita Use Spread Over Asia and Thence Into Europe. The first invention of paper manu- factured from vegetable pulp is lost in the mist of antiquity, says the Argosy. It appears to have been first introduced into Europe from the east through the Arabians and Persians. The use of paper, according to the modern application of the word, had become common in China at an ex- tremely remote period, and Gibbon tells us ina note that its manufacture was introduced from China into Semarcand 651 B. C., and thence spread over Eu- rope. The Chinese are said to have so great a variety of paper that each prov- ince possesses its own peculiar make. The sort commonly known as silk pa- peris fabricated from the inner bark of the bamboo or mulberry tree. The rice paper, so called, is prepared: from the inner portion of the stems of a hardy leguminous plant that grows vlentiful- ly about the lakes near Calcutta and also in the island of Formosa, whence the Chinese import it in large quanti- ties. The stems of the plant being cut into the proper lengths for the sheets the pith is cut spirally into a thin shee, then flattened, pressed and dried. The Arabians appear first to have in- troduced the manufacture of paper into Spain. On the oldest specimen ex- tant of this Spanish manufacture a treaty of peace between the king of Aragon and a neighboring potentate, A. D. 1775, is transcribed. THE WEIGHT OF A THOUGHT. How It Was Determined by = Roman Physiologist. A scientific journal of high repute is authority for the statement that Prof. Masso, the Roman physiologist, has in- vented a machine that will actually give the weight of a thought. To quote from the account mentioned: Prof. Masso showed by experiment that the effort of thinking causes a rush of blood to the brain, this blood-rush va- rying in intensity according to the | thought.
