says: e...-.........as.-s
Everywhere upon our neighboring
marshes the muskrats are building their
winter houses on comparatively high
ground, or pretty much out of water. BY
the testimonytof the :.oldest inhabitants"
this fact always foreshadowed an open
winter. If hard, freezing winter is at
hand, the mnskrats build low in tho water,
to keep under the ice. If an open or
mid winter approaches, they keep near

Feats of Japanese Jugglers.

A letterto the Philadelphia Ledger
from Simoda, gives the following in rela
ton to-the skilisof the Japanese jugglers
The sights were witnessed by Consul
General, Mr. Townsend Harris, who re-
lated them to the writer, an officer on
board the United States ship Powhattan.
No. /, He took an ordinary boys
top, spun itin the air. caught it on his
hand, end then placed it (still spinning)
upon the edge of sword near the hilt.
Then he dropped the sword point a little
and the top moved slowly toward it. Ar
rived at the very end the hit was lowered
in turn, and the toy brought back. AS
usual, the sword WAS dangerously
sharp. ~.
No. 2 was also performed with top.
I He spun it in the air, and then threw the
end ofthe string back toward itwith such
accuracy. that it was caught up and
wound itself all ready for a second cast.
BY the time it haG done this it had reach
ed his hand and was ready for another
spin.
No. 3 was still performed with the top.
There was an upright pole, upon the top
of which was perched q little house, with
o very large front door. The top was
spun, made, to climb the pole, knock open
the said front door and disappear, AS
well as I remember, the hand end of the
string was fastened near the door, so that
this was almost the repetition Of the self
winding feat.5 ..............as.r .r.r.a, r
But No. 4 was something even more
astonishing than all this. He took two
] paper butterflies, armed himself with his
usual paper fan. threw them into the air,
and tanning gently, kept them flying
about him as if they had been alive. y
"He can make them alght wherever
you wish. Try him." remarked the Ka-
mi (prince) through the interpreter.
Mr.. II requested that one might
alight upon each ear of the juggler. Nc
sooner expressed than complied with
Gentle undulations of the fan waved them
slowly to the required points, and there
left them comfortably seated. Now
whether this command over pieces of pa
pc: was obtained simply by currents of all
or by the power of a concealed magnet
Mr. II / could not tell or ascertain

vote on the motion 10 lay the subject on the
table, because he did not think the question
whether particular subject was . question
Of privilege or not could be laid on the table
at all.
Mr.. Toombs took the ground that the
whole matter in dispute depended upon the
answer 10 the single question, is Minnesota
q State in this Union or not! II she was,
the applicant was entitled To his seat, and
not without. How should that question be
decided! The Committee on the Judiciary
was the most proper tribunal, and be there
fore submitted the following resolution:
Received. That the question Of the admission
Of James Shields TO act Ia this body a. Senator
from tbs State Of Minnesota be referred TO the
Committee on the Judiciary, with Instructions
- inquire whether or not Minnesota Ia State
in the Union under the constitution and laws.
Mr.. Simmons thought that Minnesota
was nearer a State in the Union than Rhode
Island was from 1887 to 1871, before she
accepted the constitution, for then they were
out Of the jurisdiction Of the United States,
and no revenue law could be enforced upon
them. But certainly Minnesota was within
the jurisdiction Of the United States.
The question being taken, the resolution
Of Mr.. Toombs was agreed to.
