From Washingtnn.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Mr Wendell's tes-
timOny before the Covode committee, estab-
fishes the fact that he expended between
$4,000 and $4,000 to carry the English bill ;
part of which has been traced and the rest in
a fair way of discovery. The evidence of
Simeon johnson furnishes another link in the
chain proving that the Lecomptou constitution
was made here and sent to Kansas by the Ad-
ministration agent.
The Post Master General, in a communica-
tion to the senate, today, says, after the most
careful consideration he is constrained to be-
lieve that the chief improvement in the dead
letter office must be effected by providing for
the return of letters through the office in
greater numbers and at shorter periods to the
writers.
1t is understood that Senator Simmons and
his friends have perfected ther amendments to
the Mexican treaty, the consideration of which
will shortly be resumed by the senate.

would be happy to support.

strued waS sufficient; but under what circum.

MIR. PUGH denied this.
MIR. BENJAMIN replied, it was admitted,
time and time again, in the convention, and it
was avowed also that if the convention put
upon it the meaning, thati if citizens of the south
had right to hold property i'll territories, and
the legislature had no power to affect that
right that not single northern state could be
carried That was brand upon the good
faith and honor OF the democratic party. 1t

canvass on a platform wearing two aspects

Mr.. WADE gave notice that he should press
the homestead bill tomorrow unless ovcrruled
by majority of the senate.
Mr.. DOUGLAS thought it would have been
better to have passed 1t before he was attacked
than after.
Mr.. DAVIS said he had not attacked Mr..
Douglas He only advocated certain princi

Mr.. DOUGLAS was willing to speak to-mor-

senate then went into executive session.

The House, in the committee on the tariff,
had considerable debate. Messrs. TAYLOR
and MILLsoN Intellectually tried to introduce
amendments, increasing the duty on sugar.
Mr.. PETIT's amendment, to repeal duties on
sugar and molasses, failed.
Owing to some democrats declining to bal

Tornadoes.

| These freaks of nature are generally
preceded by peculiarly sultry and elec,
trio state of the atmosphere, when thun
der is apt to be expected. A black cloud
is generally formed some distar ce above
the ground and travels with the tornado,
its shape in many cases resembling an in
verted cone. The storm is found to rage
beneath this cloud. Occasionally it APP
pears to revolve Oh an axis. There is a
rushing toward il of the air from North
and South, both currents gradually bend>
ing to the East as they approach the track
of the tornado. rhis has been abundants
| ly shown by the manner in which trees,
grain, grass, buildings &C., have been torn
down. The breadth of the track usually
varies from 60 to $50 rods, seldom exceed
ing 100. The speed of the tornado often
exceeds 100 miles per hour. In many ca
ses, especially in one which took place at
Natchez in 1910, such vacuum is created
in the centre of the tornado, that the
strongest walls have been known to fall
outward, sometimes in the face of a blast
travelling over one hundred and fifty feet
per second. Bricks have been carried in
every direction, and portions of tin roof
ing hundreds of yards. Even men and
women have been lifted from the ground
in the sudden rushing upward of the cur
rent, and safely dropped at the distance
of several RODS. The locks of desks have
been broken open by the suoden expansion
of air within. In other caseI bu ildings
have been saved by having trap doors on
their roofs opening upward. Plants grow
ing OH the line of the tornado, if not des-
troyed are so scared and crisped that they
never finally recover. Some have been
damaged on one side only. Little or no
wind is felt outside of the track; so per-
sons assert who have stood close b",
and common observations confirms these
statements. These visitors are also found
to indulge in some strange freaks, as
stripping fowls of their feathers; carrying
articles of clothing up chimneys; drag
ging ploughs, carts and the like for con
siderable distance; emptying ponds OF
water and fish, and even scooping out the
mud: taking frames of looking glasses
without further injury to either drawing
nails out Of roofs, without disturbing the
roof, stripping horses Of their harness, and
buryine objects thus carried off. deeply
in the earth. Unfortunate these trick S
are too costly to make a repetition
of them desirable. But they show that
like the elephant with his trunk, the
monster can pick up a pin from the
ground as well as rend an oak Some years
ago n tornado occurred in central New
York and cut clean path through Tho
woods of about one eighth of a mile in
width, leaving the trees and shrubbery

AFFECTION AND INTELLIGENCE OF THE
BRUTE CREATIoN.-Every one has heard
the sympathies of animals toward each
other. Cries of distress will often call
them forth. When the dam of new
born lamb has died, some affectionate
sheep, although she may have one of her
own, has been known to foster and snckle
the helpless one. In my own immediate
neiChborhood, the youngest Of a large
litter Of pigs-a poor little helpless crea-
ture-who was not able to get at its moth
er for nourishment, was warmed under
the wings of good ratured hen. 1t was
fed by hand, but when turned down the
hen was always ready TO take charge of
it, and thus it was reared. These instan,
ces might be multiplied to considerable
extent, showing the active beneyolence OF
some animals; but the following fact will
prove the existence of n combined intelli-
gence in creatures which have reason to
believe has been hitherto unnoticed by
naturalstsas existing amongst the feath-
cred creation. The accuracy OF the anec.
dote may be vouched for. In the island
of Ceylon there is to be found avery cur
ming and sensible crow, somewhat small
er Ilan our own udtlNC OHe, ldNluS ~
glossy back, and altogether rather an en-
gaging, pretty bird. Now, in the yard of
the governor of Csylon, dog was en- c
day amusing himself by gnawing bone,
the scraps of meat upon which attracted
the attention of one of these crows. 1t
alghted on the ground, hoped around
the dog and bone, and evidently waited
an opportunity Tor seizing the latter
The dog, however, was on his guard ana
by certain growls and probably angry
looks, which the bird understood, pro-
tected his property. The CROW was too
cunning and too hungry to be batfied.-
lie flew away, but soon returned with
a companion. They hoped up to the
dog, when the fresh arrival watched his
opportunity, and gave a sudden pull at
the dogs tail. Not being used to such
an insult, he suddenly turned round in
order to see who had taken the liberty
with him. The bone was for moment
left unprotected, and was Immediately
seized by :he first cunning crow, who
flew away with it, joined his companion,
and they doubtless had merry feast up,
on it.-Oncc Week.
