judiciary, Bill relating to the appel
late jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court. The Bill, as amended, de-
clares that the judicial power of the
United States gives no power to the
Courts to decide upon political ques-
tions, and that it rests with Congress
to decide what Government ia the es-
tablished one in the State. 1t prohi-
bits the Supreme Court from enter
tertaining jurisdiction of any case
growing out of the execution Of the
Reconstruction Acts, until the Gov
ernments of the late rebellious States
are reofganized by Congress as valid.
It repeals all Acts authorizing ap-
peals to the Supreme Court in Habaes
Corpus proceedings. The President
is directed To hold and proceed with
all prisoners held in said States by
military authority, without regard to
any civil proceedings or authorities

At recent exhibition Of the London
Photograph Society, fine specimens of
colored photographs taken by the carbon
process were displayed. 1t is said there
is no question about the permanence of
the colors. They are rs durable as the
materials Of which they are composed.
The impression consists only Of gelatine
and the pigment chosen for printing
chalk, sepia, Indian ink, carbo on, or
whatever other material best expresses
the effect sought in the reproduction.
Already, by this process, in the hands
of Baum, of Dornach. all the best
drawings of all the great galleries of
Europe have been made acce ssible at
triaing pieces, 80 perfectly reproduced
that in many cases it taxes the skill of
the practiced connoisseur to distinguish
reproduction from original. In spite Of
the difficulty OF establishing position
on ground already occupied, says the
Lonaoa Times, this is the process, it
would seem, which mnst uitimatly oust
all other modes Of Photographic print.

An Interesting Erperim e,st.

The Columbus (Ohio) Statesnsan says:-
The question of the rotary motion of the
earth has, for ages past g;~.'' -'eo to learned
discussions between scientific men. and
numbcrless experiments have been made to
demonstrate the theory Foucaultz, learn
ed Frcnchman, some years ago, announced
q simple contrivsnce, which. he claimed, set
to rest oil disputations on the question and
demonstrated the theory beyond cavil. Mr..
T. C. Mendenhsll, of tho Columbus High
School. completed arrangements for test
of Foucaultz's contrivancc on Saturday, and
proceeded to put it in operation. A wire
was attached to light cross beam from the
inside centre of the dome of the State Capt.
tol, reaching nearly to the floor of the 70.
tunda below. To the lower end Of this wire
= metallic ball of twenty eight pounds in
weight was attached. The ornamental piece
Of the rotunda pavement furnished circle.
through the centre of which. from the true
north, line was struck to the south. Nine
additional lines, representing nine degrees
of variation from the true north, were mark.
ed on the circles. The ball was set in vibra-
ton. and was describing the line of the first
degree to the right. The proposition was
that at the end of the ninth hour from the
start of the ball it would 50 fur depart from
the true north and south line as to describe
the ninth. While the ball seemed TO leave
the track in which it originally started, 1t
really did not The apparent variation was
due to the rotary motion of the earth. This
was the second trial Of this interesting ex.
pertinent in the United States. and the third
III the world. The committee of gentlemen
conducting it on Saturday, expressed them
selves as entirely satisfied with the result
It will probably be repeated.

Ttsle Of a Shirt.
From the Wintcrset, Iowa, Sun.

From the winterset, Iowa, Sun.
Years ago, when Mr. Albert West was one
of the leading Democrats of this country,
Henry Clay Dean came to Winterset to make
Democratic speech Mr.. West, who has
an unfaltering aversion to dirty shirts. in.
formed the committee that Dean should not
speak unless he put on clean shirt. Dean
was the possessor of only one Of these use.
full articles, and that was on his back. The
only remedy was to borrow, and Mr.. West
was the only Democrat whose physical pro.
portions were sufficiently developed to re-
quire shirt long enough to fit Dean. Henry
Clay was accordingly ensconced in the bank.
er's ''fine linen," made his speech and::de-
parted In triumph, bearing off . five dollar
shirt belonging to Mr. West That shirt Was
never heard from until the fall of 1868, when
Dean again came to Winterset to make an.
other speech. That time he took up his
abode with our genial friend George w.
Sewers. Now George has cleanly desire
to see folks look tidy, and Deans shirt was
IN abomination In his eyea He, therefore,
suggested to the orator that he would do
we'll to get on the inside of clean one be-
fore addressing the people. Dean aoquiesced
in the theory of the change, but lacked the
clean garment necessary to put it in practice.
George promptly rendered him one Of his
own. Dean accepted the offer, and made
his speech arrayed in Georges best shirt.
Dean weighs about 500; George, 100 Dean
has large surplusage Of abdomen; George
