Democratic Senatorial Caucus

WASHINGTON, Jan 3O-Tn the Democratic
Senatorial caucus held yesterday, Mr. Hunter OF
Va, offered resolution declaring that it was un-
wise and impolitic to alter the existing tariff
The resolution was adopted with only two or
three dissenting votes. Mr. 1verson was not un-
favorable to a change in the tariff. Messrs.
Toombs and Benjamin were not averse to speclhc
duties, as recommended by the President, but
each expressed willingness to cooperate with
those they had been in the habit of acting with.
Mr. Douglas thought this fit occasion to re-
assert the traditional Democratic doctrine in favor
of ad valorem duties, and said that specific duties
meant protective tariff. file thought Democrats
ought to protest against them. Mr. d. believed
the present tariff sufficient. if economy practsed
by the Executive. He was for approximating as
near as possible to free trade MIR Sldell offered
resolution that it be the duty of the executive tc
look rather to retrenchment than an increase Of
duties, which was adopted.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-Last night the meeting
of the Democrats of the House generally, opposed
to specific duties, took place; about fifty present
| Hon. John Cochrane in the Chair. Resolutions
were almost unanimously adopted ''that it was in
expedent to alter the present tariff" Mr. Garnett
/ of Va, moved that a committee of five be appoint
ed on the subject of retrenchment, to report to
future caucus of the entire Democracy of thu
House. Messrs Wilson of Ind, Miles of s. C.
Stephens of Ga, Garnett of Va, Lamar of Miss.
TAYLOR of n Y, and others were strongly opposed
to specific duties.

IMPORTANT HINT IN WASHING CLOTHES
The American Agriculturalist asserts that the
great secret of success Of nine out of ten of the
washing fluids, mixture, and machines which have
been sold over the country for many years past,
is not owing so much to the inherent qualities of
the article themselves to the process of soaking,
which they invariably recommend. If people
pursuing the old fashioned system of washing will
simply take the precaution to throw all the clothing
to be washed in water 10 or hours before beginning
operations they will find half the labor of rubbing
saved in most cases. Water is of itse!fa great
solvent, even of the oily materials that collect upon
clothing worn in contact with the body, but time
is required to effect the solution. Every one is
aware of the effect of keeping the hands or feet
moist for few hours--the entire external coating
Of secretion is dissolved. The same effect is
produced by soaking for few hours clothes soiled
by the excretory matter of the skin.

CAMELs-THEIR sTRENGTH.-Ne witnessed feat of
strength performed by ofMrS Watsons camels, of
which there dozen the wharf of all ages.
The camel loaded was of the largest On the word
of command being given, the camel lay down, ready
receive his load, which consisted ofve bales of hay,
weighing in the aggregate over 400 pounds, which
firmly bound the panner placed upon the animals
hump. Upon the utterance of command by the native
keeper the huge animal without apparent extra
effort his feet and walked off in stately manner
along the wharf and through the city, We were in
formed that the same camel had 500 pounds placed
upon him, with which weight he easily
The animals all exceedingly tract"be, and seem to
possess much affection for any one who treats them
kindly as example of which Mrs. W. informed US that
of them pretty white one, which she had peted,
would always kiss her, when she within kissing
distance, which fact really thought proved the ami
NAL to possess excellent taste, affectionate
disposition. In their country the average load for a
full grown camel is eight hundred pounds, with which
they perform their long journeys over deserts with but
little food We doubt not that with the album
dant forage found in all parts of Texas and full sup
ply of water general the camel will improve in strength,
appearance and be able transport larger loads at
rapid pace than in his native countryGapsston

How RAIN is FORMED. To under
stand the philosophy of this phenomenon
essential to the very existence of plants and
animals, a few facts derived from obscrya-
tion and long train of experiments must
be remembered. With the atmosphere ey
erywhcre, at all times, at the full temper
aturc,wc should never have any rain, hail
or snow. The water absorbed by it in
evaporation from the sea and the earth's
surface would descend in an impcrceptiblc
vapor, or cease to be absorbed by the air
when 1T was once fully saturated. The
absorbing power of the atmosphere, and
consequently its capability to retain humid
!lty' is proportionably greater in warm than
IN cold air. The air near the surface of
the earth is warmer than it is in the re-
glon of the coulds The higher we ascend
from the earth, the colder we find the at
mdsphere. Hence the perpetual snow ON
very high mountain, in the hottest eli
mates. Now, when from continued ey
aporation the air is highly saturated with
vapor- though it be ihYisiblc-if its tenn
perature is suddenly reduced by cold cur
rents descending from above, or rushing
from high to low latitude, its capacity
to retain moisture is diminished, couIds
are formed and the result is rain. Air con
denses as it cools, and like sponge filed
with water and compressed, pours out the
water which it's diminished capacity cannot
hold. How singular, yet how simple, is
such an arrangement for Watering the
earth
WHEN Jack Jones discovered that he
had polished his mates boots instead of his
own, he called it an aggravated instance of
