ION motion of Mr.. Russell, the House went in
to secret session."
This "Mr Russell" halls from the abolitionixed
district of Wheeling. From the perpetual mo-
ton to 60 into secret session, We must suppose
that he either comes with instructions in his pock
cts from his patriotic constituents, to do nothing
else but to to 20 into secret session, Or that
he prefers darkness to light because his deeds are
evil If he GENES with such instructions from his
constituents they sent him in the wrong direction
They ought to have sent him to Mr.. Lincoln's Con-
gress. The polluted atmosphere of Washington
City would be the proper place for him. He could
find more congenial colleagues among his Black Re-
publican friends than he can hope to meet in the
Confederate Congress. His constituents made q
great mistake and placed their representative in an
awkward predicament Like the rustic at church,
he finds himself IN the wrong pew" He wishes
to escape observation therefore he moves that the
House resolve itself into secreGsession."
We are disposed to think that he is moved to bis
"motion more from personal motives than from
regard for the instruction of his constituents.
If he moves to 60 into secret session because his
deeds are evil and thinks he will not be suspected
he commits fatal error. The simple fact Of his
motion is prama 1acie evidence of his guilt.
There is no need of secret sessions, There in
no virtue in them We protest against these ma
tional denominations. All plots against the liberties
OF the people are concocted in secrecy. The advo.
cate OF secret sessions hates liberty a. the devil

to be swerved from the path of duty by the fear
that his enemy might interpret his action into a
confession of weakness or cowardice? Not he who

weakness. A nervous apprehension of what an
enemy may possibly think betrays temper far
different from that manly defiance which character

waited for no preliminary recognition as prerequ

the idle fear that their action might be attributed to
seowardice or weakness. But firm in their deter

their cause, they dared to pursue such course as
seemed to them right and proper. They fought

Treatment Of CrOup.-Croup is an in

To Keep Tires on wheels

To Keep Tires on wheels Hear what
a practical man says on this subject: L
ironed wagon some years ago for my
own use, and before putting on the tires
/ filed the felloes with linseed oil; and
the tires have worn out and were never
loose. l also ironed buggy for my own
use seven years ago, and the tires are as
tight as when put on. Ny method of fill
ing the felloes with oil is as follows: use
a long cast-iron oil heater, made for the
purpose. The oil is brought to boiling
heat, the wheel is placed on a stick so as
to hang in the OIL each felloe an hour for
a common sized felloe The timber should
be dry, as green timber will not take oil.
Care should be taken that the oil does

that the timber be not burnt. Timber fill
ell with oil is not susceptible to water, and
is more durable was amused some
years ago when told blacksmith how
to keep the tires tight on wheels, by
his telling me that it was a profitable bus
mess to tighten tires; and the wagon
maker will say that it is profitable to him
to repair wheels. But what viii the far
mer who supports the wheelright and

The CapaeI.y of Barns.

Very few farmers build their barns with
any precise calculation as to their capaci-
ty or fitness. They guess at their contents
and conjecture their adaptation. Not UNI
frequently it is the case that the barns
are too narrow for the crops, and too un-
healthy for the stock, It has been found
that every ton of hay or straw requires
500 to 600 cubic feet. A horse should
have rs square feet of space, COW 10
feet, and sheep about 10 feet. A bay or
NOW 40 feet long and 19 feet wide, holds
a ton of hay for every foot in depth. The
basement OF a barn 40 by rs feet, accord
ing to this calculation, will stable 80 cat
tie, $50 sheep, and winter eight horses,
and the upper part hold all their winter
fodder

Death Of NJ. DupiD.

of Andre Marie Jean Jacques Dupin, a
well known politician Of France, and ex
President of the National Assembly,
He was born February 1, 1888, bred to
the bar, defended Marshal Ney in 1915,
and has filed great number of public
trusts. After the revolution of 1880 he
was chosen President and Speaker of
the Assembly, and won considerable
fame as presiding officer. At the
great Exhibition in Londan in 1851, he
was President of the French Commits
sion of the international Jury. AL
though not an active participant in the
coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon, he has
ever since been supporter of the gov
eminent of the Emperor, and latterly
held important offices under it. In 1857
he was made Procureur General of the
Court of Cessation, and at the time of
his death was Senator. During the

Lessons Taugh, by t,,e Cat;le plague.

The British Press has begun to agitate
the question whether too much meat is
not eaten in England. For one pound
of meat the people OF Scotland con-
sumo, the English consume ten. Yet
there is quite as much health and mus
cular vigor north as there is sonth of
the Tweed. Eighteen thousand head
of cattle have been sacrificed this year
by the plague, and really good meat il
quite as dear in London as it is In New
York to-day. Economy has, therefore,
become a necessity, even with the we'll
to-do classes; and some of the journals
are occupied in indicting long homilies
upon the subject-laying down the law
as to the quantity (three-quarters of a
pound which each person may wisely
eat per day. The London Times is, as
usual, wonderfully sage. 1t observes:
"In winter, at all events. there really is
no reason why we should not import
our butchers meat from British Ameri-
ca and other transmarine pastures. y
Why this new trade should be opened
in winter, when the only portions Of
British America where cattle are to be
had, are those which are closed to nav
igation, we do not exactly understand
We think the British Americans gen.
orally will be considerably surprised to
find that they are to become large ex-
porters of cattle, either III winter or
summer N. y. Times.
