MINNESOTA SENAToRs.-Rlce a n d
Shield were sworn in yesterday, as u. S.
Senators from Minnesota.
AS soon as Mr. Rlce's credentials We're
read, MFR. Harlan, of Iowa, presented char
ges from the people Of Iowa, charging Mr..
Rice with corruption in land sales. One
of these charges is that Mr.. Rice sold land
at one dollar and half per acre, and gave
receipts for one dollar and quarter per
acre.
Mr.. Rice was sworn in and Immediately
addressed the Senate.
This, he said, was his first appearance in
this body, and he felt that he WIS placed
in embarrassing position. He had not
received any intimation of these charges.
If the Senator from Iowa, Mr.. Harlan, had
examined the papers on file in the War
Department, he would have found that
there was not one word of truth in the
charges made He, Rice, should demand
an investigation, and if one single word
Iimpugned his motives rs a Government
officer, he would resign his position as
SENATOR.
Mr. Harlan then offered a resolution
for committee to investigate, with au-
thority to send for persons and papers,
Laid over.

HINTS on TEE ziAEAGExERT CT CANARY
BIRDS.

Il may not be amiss to give few hints
to those who would like to keep eanaries,
bat do not know how to manage them
Put them in a roomv cage of wood and
plain wire. Painted metal cages are in
furious, as the birds pick off the paint and
eat it, when they become sick. Feed
them upon canary and rape seed, and wa
ter and now and then a slice of apple, ana
and lettuce or a ca bbage loaf Strew
coarse brown sand on the bottom of the
cage, and ban G piece of OUTLETS h in the
cage, for cleaning their beaks and crops.
In very hot weather give them dish Of
water TO battle in. In Septe mber and
October the birds moult. At such times
a little.maw seed, with pinch of saffron in
their water, is beneficial. They begin to
breed about the middle of March or the
first of April. In Europe it is customary
to place one male with two females, when
they do much better than with one female.
Clean out the cage twice week, and three
broods a year are easily obtained. More than
that would not be good for anything. If the
bird is uneasy, frequently picking itself,it is
troubled with lice, from the dirtiness of
the cage. Clean the cage thoroughly, and
rub little common flour under the birds
wing. In two hours it will be freed from
them. If it should ruffie its feathers, an |
draw itself into a little fuzzy ball, little
saffron in the water will relieve it.
When you mate the birds, give tn I'm
little willow basket, which you can obtain
at seed stores, a little cotton, lock Of
wool, and little manila hemp, and they
will soon begin to build their nest. When
the nest is completed, the female will lay
an egg every morning until there are four
or five in the neat, when she will com
nence setting. In thirteen or fourteen
days the young are Matched. Until they
can crack seed, which will be in about four
or fva week, they will require to he
fed on hard boiled eggs. One third 0: an
egg crumblcd fine, should be placed in a
cup, and put into the cage every morning,
until the young can feed themselves. By
following these few simple directions, Won
may increase your stock of birds aim ,st at
will, and you may rely upoa it, for your
slight care they will repay you with leas-
lure and amusement hundred fold La

CoPPER IN Observation-Disclosures
have been related to us which would war
rant the belief that there is an extensive
bed Of copper ore in this state, and that too,
not far from the city of bricks" A far
ner Who resides about twenty miles from
this city, between Hale's Corners and
Mu<kegon, called at our Office yesterday,
aud exhibited q block Of copper ore. at
least 90 per cent Of which was pure metal
weighing 3l5 pounds which he found up
on his farm while ploughing a short time
since. Some time previous neighhor Of,
his found another piece Of very nearly the
same description, in that vicinity, weigh
ing % pounds, aud from time to time
smaller pieces of copper ore, have been
found by people residing in that neighbor-
hood The question naturally arises, whence
came these pieces Of ore? 1t is not proba-
Die that they were carried from distance
and deposited where they were found; and
if this be moi, the case.then the likelihood is
that natural bed of the ore is situated
not far from the location where these pie
ces have been found Nil. Sentinel.

VENTILATE YOUR PUBLIC BUILDINGS
We do not know how many die in a year
from close rooms, but we believe that mil
lions are daily injured by it. The Chica
go Union says:
A very inter ssting experiment was tree
at Chicago, sorle time ago, to ascertain
the amount of oxygen necessary to sup
port life. Six hundred persons were placed
in hall in one Of the hotels, all the doors
and windows were closed, and the expert
ment began. During the FIRST half houl
nothing was obs erved except universe
drowsiness, viii b was warded off as long
as possible by IN ingenious device of the
experimenter, il the shape of an eloquent
lecture. Durin the second half hour, sew
eral sank into deep sleep, from which j,
was impossible to rouse them, and a few
tainted. At II end of the third bali hour
it was deemed Unsafe to continue the ex
pertinent longe !, and the fact was consid
cred establishe /, that under these circum
stances, life VIC uld become extinct IN tht
space of ninet five minutes.
