What Is Thought OF Congressional Black
guardism.

SuarO1Sm
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun writes
The records Of Congress will be sought
in vain for anything SO disgraceful as the
scene of yesterday, when "by unanimous
consent" the gros>est and most i'll man
uered personalities were INDUCED in-the
language being such as to elicit rebnke
from the Speaker, who charac erized it as
dishonorable to the House of Representa-
tives, and stated that, although tolerated
by the House, he could not consent that it
should go upon the record unaccompanied
by his protest. This disgraceful conduct
on Saturday was confined to the "happy
family" Of Radicals, one of the principal
actors being Mr. Elihu B. Washburne, of
Illinois, the man who of all others should
set good example by reason of his six
teen years service in Congress. The
other participant is a comparatively young
man-Mr, Ignatius Donnely, of Minneso-
ia, now serving his third term in Congress.
It was very pertinently suggested to-day
that in view of what transpired in the
House on Friday and Saturday, "by unan-
imous CONSENT the impeachment mana
gers should be requested to withdraw such
of the impeachment articles as charge the
President with crime for the speeches de-
ivered at st. Louis, Cleveland and else
where. Messrs. Washburne and Donnely y,
who voted for the articles, will certainly
not desire to have the President convicted
of using scandalous matter in a speech,
after the display they made in the House
yesterday.

HOven in Cattle,

clover and grass are now springing forth
luxuriantly and Jn just the condition to
produce hOven III cattle, when first let III
to Craze upon either As prevention is
better than cure, it is therefore wise on
turning cattle for the few fret times in the
spring into a clover field to regard them
with some little care, and all damage from
this cause may be avoided. It is more
dangerous at first, from the simple fact
animals having been confined for months
to dry food, when turned upon field of
tender grass or clover, they eat greedily
and overload their stomachs with the green
forage, and if this is done while heavy
dew is on, disease frequently follows, and
If relief is not Immediately afforded, death
often enSues
The Rural World saws:
This malady is simply the result of q
speedy fermentation of the green food
eaten, generating large amount of gas,
resulting from the warmth of the stomach,
aided by the external moisture of the dew
upon the food when eaten. To avoid this
the animals should not be turned upon the
clover until it is perfectly dry, and then
oe allowed to eat but few minutes and
then TUNED out. Follow this for a few
days, and there is generally but little dan
ger afterwards during the season.
Remedy.-A barbarous practice is fol-
lowed by some, of sticking knife into the
paunch of the animal where that organ lies
nearest the side, to allow the gas that has
been SO suddenly produced to escape. A
simple and eff ctual remedy is found in
giving the animal an egg-shell full Of tar.
10 DO TINS, two men are required to hold
the animals head straight, third will hold
its tongue to the right side he can easily
put the shell and tar down its throat, and
In few minutes relief will usually take
place; but second dose has never been
known to fail. After swallowing the tar,
the animal should be kept upon brisk
walk about the yard until the gas passes off
and gives relief.
Another.-It is also said that a bottle
filled with soft soap and milk and emptied
down the throat of the animal will afford
relief in few minutes. There are various
other remedies employed, but these appear
to be simple and easy of application.

Tho Muse, in south America.


Tho Now York TRIBUNE has correspond
emit at Chilli, who dilates upon the wonderful
musical requirements of the people there
He says -
"Chili is country of music makers. The
love Snd instinct OF music are difused thro'-
out every order of people, from the highest
to the lowest. 1t is said that when Colts, i,
chalk was about to give his great concert OF
three hundred musicians, he made requisl-
ton upon the different civil and military
bands of Valparaiso and Santiago. Upon
their presenting themselves before him he
was amazed to find that not an eighth part
of them could read or write, and not fourth
part knew anote or character of music. How
was he ever to bring TanAhauser. and the
Prophet, and Fidelis, from such Total igno-
rance? But what was his astonishment and
wonder when he found that almost entire OPP
eras were familiar to them, and they were
able to repeat with perfect accuracy metrical
darts of music by hesring them played but
orce or twice. It may be an incredible state
ment to many fair young musician In our
country, but 1t Is no less true, that what y
generally styled in the United States amaze
compiisied performsrson the piano would not
pass here for 8 mediocre one"

Horse Raoing at Fairs.

The board of Directors of the Illinois
State Agricultural Society have abolished
raciug at the coming Fair. The follow
ling comments on the decision are copied
from the Prairie Farmer, Published at Chi
cago:
From time immemorlal there have exist
ed two parties upon the question of trials of
speed at our agricultural fairs. On the one
side have been arrayed those who look upon
rsaipg ~ q legitimate pastime, resulting in
the amusement Of the people and improve
ment Of the equine stock Of the country,
the jockeys the gamblers who wish to gain
by the sport, and the large crowd ut specta-
tors who love the excitement % tho race.
On the other side We have had that large
class Of the community, who have had all
their moral feelings outraged by associa
ton with pics pockets, aud btnseFs that the
race course in ills country is almost sure
to attract 10 it's exhibitions, and by the
| open practices Of gambling, betting, etc,
that form the chief business Of such charac-
ters upon these occasions
IL has been argued on The one hand that
there was demand for the race en- the
kpart of the great mass Of fair attendants
and that there could be 10 financial success
ithoot it chat the fair without the horse
race, would be dull stupid affair that
the public would not attend and that its
discontlunance would result in the breaking
up Of these annual atheringa that have re-
suited in so much good 10 the country in
so many ways. Upon the other hand, the
argument has been thar the race track,
with its concemitants has been the means
Of driving the moral portion of the people
from our fair grounds and thus cut off the
receipts at tho gates, while il has tended to
to turn the attention Of the Society to one
class Of animals and one class Of amuse.
ments to the detriment Of other branches
of industry that the society is bonnd to fos
ter and encourage.
| Having long acted in accordance with
the views Of the first mentioned Glass; the
society has now determined to show a
Eproper Difference TO tue advocates of purely
agricultural aud mechanical exhibitions, and
by resolution. at the late meeting Of the
Board, prohibita all trials Of speed, by
racing at the fair Of 1868
BY d vary large nusnbes Of cur euterpri-
sing farmers, ibis act Of the Executive
Board Will be received with great favor, and
if their former statements we've nGade Ia
good faith, we shali zee exhibitors at our
next fair whose faces have not greeted us
for years. We are glad of the decision of
the society, for We can now have the vexed
question settled whether the people will
support fair without tho usual attraction
that has been offered by the race track, If
they do not then it remains to be seen if
the pastine cannot be stripped of its dis
gusting and revoitin g features, and thus be
allowed to add its attractions to our fairs
at any rate, IRE look upon The act of the So
ciety as the beginning Of great reform in
racing practices at our fairs,

THE EREOTATOR.
A Wonderful Flying Machine in Course Of
Construction.
From tie ST. louis pisnatcl

From the ST. Louis Dispatch,
w. S. Huschinga, Of St, Louis, the inven
/ tor, has laid bis plans baf9re the best aaron
uauts in America, and all pronounce it the
only success evlr slade in aerial navigation
in navigating the air and turning in any
direction, at any height, with the pleasure
OF the navigator. This wonderful inven-
ton of navigating the air has been the study
OF the past century, and has at last been
successful. The model has already been
built, is twenty eight inches in height, and
works with the utmost ease and upon mec-
hanical and philosophical principles
In constructing this machine, the laws OF
gravitation have been well studied. The
| large machine now in course Of construc-
ton measures 90 feet in height with an ex-
passion Of % feet, full weight Of the entire
machine 285 pounds, when ready for aerial
navigation, capable of carrying with ease
in the air 100 pounds. The principle is en-
tirely new, and the invention claims the
compression Of hot and cold air in running q
caloric engine which is attached to the back.
The body is incosed in a complete set Of
mail armor made of vulcanizsd india-rubber
and brass with glass in front which protects
the body and face from the wind Attached
to the engine and connected by means of q
tube passing over the shoulder, is a large
cylinder, containing the compressed air,
which is worked with each hand. By this
mesns the navigator can go up or down
with case, and regulates the engine at his
e,qu leisure Attached to the feet, head and
cylinder arc doubled. inflated wings, aome
Jour feet ia length and, by means of cords
and India-rubber valves attached to the fly.
wheels of the engine, are two large inflated
wings on the Compressed air principle, eight
cen feet in length, and which turn with
lightning speed in a circular revolution,
bearing up the entire machine. Immediate
~ above the engine is attached, by means
Of cords, large double inflated parachute,
measuring IS feet 10 circumference, with
tube connecting from the center with the
caIoric engine. This ia the protection in
making au ascension without danger to the
soronaut, in case of accident or breaking Of
the machine. We understand the first trial
will take place near this city, with the won
derful feat of jumping out of balloon at
the height of 2, 600 feet from the earth and
as the inventor proposes to accomplish this
himself he has great confidence in his own
invention If it is success, aerial naviga-
ton is certainly the most useful invention
of modern times, >outrvaling the telegraph
or steam navigation. More anon.

The MILLER AND THE CAMEL The Arabs
repeat the fable of miller who was one day ava
kened by having the nose of camel thrust in
to the window of room where he was sleep
ing. cit is very cold out here, said the cam
el, II only want to get my nose in" The
miller granted his request. After a while the
camel asked that he UaghG get his neck in, and
then he gained premissi0n to have his fore feet
in the room, and so, little by little, crowded
in bis whole body. The miller found his rude
companion was now becoming exceedingly
troublesome for the room was not large enough
for both. When he complained TO the camel,
he received for answer, "If you do not like it,
you may leaye az for myself, 1 shall stay
where | am"
So it is with sin. It comes and knocks at
the heart, and pleads only for little indul-
gence, and so goes on, increasing its demands;
until it becomes master in the soul. What
then shall the young do but guard against
sin, beware of its very appearance, and, above
ell, pray TOR the aid of the Holy Spirit, that
by Ills grace they may be enabled to keep
their hearts with all diligence, and to guard
against the entrance OF anything that may de-
file or ruin the soul.

a New EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN Rev

from the studies aud duties Of his ministry,
yield him diversion, health and pecuniary
profit. After working in his own vineyard,
he finds himself all the more strengthened

That through the snowy valley flies.
All passing few are they who speak,
Wild stormy MONTH in praise ofthee;
Yet, though thy winds are loud and bleak,
~ Thou art welcome month to me.
For thou TO northern lands again
The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
Aud thou hast Joined the gentle train
And wear'st the name Of Spring;
And in thy reign of blast and storm
Smiles many a long, bright sunny day.
When the changed winds soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills,
In JOY that they again are irae,
And, brightly leaping down thC nils,
Begin their journey to the sea
The years departing beauty hides
OF wintry storms the sular fAreat,
But in thy sternest frowr a6ides
