A motion to adjourn takes rank as 4 'pr-

terms "to be always in order" Yet this Is
to be taken with certain restrictions, e. g.
4 motion to adjourn is NOT in order, while
member is speaking, except by his own con-
sent; nor can it be entertained while vote
is in progress; nor after having been oncs
negatived, until other business has inter
yened. And though it be a ''prlvieged
question" and be in order when made, there
is parliamentary rule which permits tito be
offered to the house in violation OF the gene
raj rule, that "A motions must be dul y Sc
conded. For this would lead to the result
which that general rule was designed to pre-

RULE FOR PREDICTING THE WEATHER.
About a year ago we mentioned, without at
taching much credit to it, an empirical rule
by which the weather mis- ht be predicted with
tUlerable certainty during the last twenty
four or twenty-five days of IN NTH from
that which prevailed during the former ones.
This rule is now, however, again brou -it
forward with such additional arguments in
its favor As TO induce Us to return to the sub
iect. ltappearS thar ii vas the late Marshal
Buseaud who discovered it in al old Span
ism manuscript: he was struck with the great
number of observations from which it had
been deduced, extending over more than fifty
years, and resolved To verify it himself
The result Of his observations was so satisfac-
tory, that he soon got into the habit III \ re-
rid of consulting the rule Oh all OCCASIONS
when some important military or agriculture
al operation was IN contemplation. The
rule IS as follows: eleven times out OF
twelve, the weather will, during the whole
luna;icn, be the same as that which occurred
OH the fifth dav OF that moon, II on the sixth
the weather was the same az on the fifth
And, nine times out OF twelve, the weather
Of tie fourth day will last throughout the
iuOOii, IL tile SAUL lufus tut l" NC INC sag
fourth" The Marshal used t. aid SIX hours
to the sixth day before pronounclng on the
weather, in order to make up for the daily re-
tardation Of the moon between two passages
across the meridian. II is clear that this
rule may not be always applicable, there be-
ing norhing to prevent the sixth day from being
quite different from the fourth and fifth

his observations continued tor ten months,
and which completely confirm the rule

A Scene in the House of Representatives.

In the House Of Representatives on We'd
nesday, the House went into committee on the
civil aud diplomatic appropriation bill, which
includes appropriations for the coast sur
vey, lighthouse establishment and surveys,
etc.
Several amendments were agreed to.
On voting upon the amendments 1t was
frequently ascertaincd that Il quorum was not
in attendance, and the usual preliminary
means were resorted to for the purpose OF Sc
curing one.
Att o'clock the doors were closed to hear
the excuses of absentees, some OF which were
stated to be sickness or absence from the CT
ty. Other reasons given were comlcal III
character, and excited merriment For in
stance, Mr. Bouligny had ''pared off, for
life and is now on wedding tour. Mr.
Winslow, it was said, was to-day very ASST
duous in his attendance on the japanese,
and it was reas ,nable to suppose he was
now absent extending national courteses to
the great Tycoon. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Florence-l5 it the same old coon?"
Renewed merriment.)
Mr. WinSlow was not excused.
Others had been seized with the pains
of hunger, aud had gone to get something to
eat.
Mr. Houston wanted a recess for an hour,
in order to give the sergeant-at-arms an OPP
portunity to chase up the outsiders. In the
meantime the members here could go to
dinner.
The Spoaker-Mr. Colfax temporarily
presiding-declarcd Il recess to be out Of
order
The Sergeant-at-arm' repeatedly brought
in abSentees, among them Mr.. Barr, who, as
an excuse, said there had been such a con
tinued noise and confusion that his head
ached, and he went out for fresh air. This
assemblage was like town meeting, and al
most turned his head. (Laughter.)
Mr. John Cochrane thought his colleague
ought t. be excused Internationally, without
the payment of fine and fees, for it was evil
dent he was lcrangcd, else he would not have
returned. (Laugnter.)
Mr.. Millson put serious face on the mat
ter. They were engaged, he said, in agrave
duty. If enactng a farce, the sooner they
suspended proceedings the better.
Excuses were heard from other ajsentees,
some of whom pleaded hunger.
Mr.. Montgomery thought 1t were better
they should adjourn. This was all farce.
Cries of "Order')
Mr. Conkhng did not know whether he
had a good excuse for his absence, but he was
like the man who bad bad cold--it was the
best he had. (Laughter.)
Additional absentces were, from time to
time. brought before the bar. Those whose
excuses were not satisfactory were fined.
Ga motion Of Mr.. Sherman, all further
proceedings under the call were dispea sed
with.
Several gentlemen said it was unjust and
unfair to excuse the remaining absentees.
when Others bad been fined.
After further noisy proceedings the House
against went into committee on the civil ap-
preparation bill.
