disc direction from A, CO was a CORES
pOnding tongue, but less regular, and ex-
tending only about two-thirds as far into
the void. This portion was more brilliant
near the base than its counterpart, ard was
sharply defined at the very extremity, the
rays blending s. a'Aickly that it required a
steady gaze to SEPARATE them. The extent
of this portion was about 2S5,000 miles.
Professor Lane saw the light reflected from
the moons edge at the distance of $4,000
miles from the suns body, while the light
was reflected from the other edge at a dis
lance of $4,000 miles. We compute the
total width of the corona in the direction
through A d, including the suns body, at
100000 miles.
The broadcast mass of cOronal light was
visible on the left lin the southeast quar-
teri. This sprung from an arc of about 80
degrees on the moons circumference to Il
height of three digits, or $4,000 miles.
This mass was more diffused than either of
the others, and separated near the extremi-
ty into narrow leaflets of light, something
like the flame from thinly spread bed of

Opposite to this, on the right, was another
leaf-spread mass of four digits in height,

however, broken up on the outer side into

Care OF Machines and Implements.

AGRICULTURAL machines and nipple
ments are costly, and it is of great import
ance that they should be taken proper care
of. 1t is well-know; that machine or nipple
ment which is kept in repair, painted and
oiled, and housed, when not in use, will
last twice as long as one that is left under
the weather, rotting or rusting il the rain,
or varying or splitting in the sun. There
are some farmers who complain of the high
price of hreshing machines, reapers and
mowers seed drills, etc. yet do not take the
least precautiOn to keep them from dam
age by exposure to the weather, or from
want of painting, Oiling or repairing. One
of the most necessary buildings on a farm
is a tool house, or implement she'd in which
all the machines, implements and tools
used on the farm can he arranged under
the owners eye, and kept safe from damage
from rain or sun.
1t is not advisable to keep machines or
implements i'm the barn, for they not only
take up too much room, but are more liza
BILE to be destroyed by fire than when kept
in detached house or shed. The barn
from its superior height and magnitude is
more liable to be struck by lightning than
lower buildings, and from the constant ac-
cess to it of careless persons, and the neg
ligent or malicious handling of can
dies, matches, etc, it is more likely to
be destroyed by accidental or incen-
binary fires than houses or sheds of less
importance. The newspapers frequently
contain accounts of the destruction of
barns by fire, and it is sometimes stated
that they contained live stock, machines,
implements, hay, grain, wool, etc, and il
generally turns out that there was no in
| surance on the premises or their contents
The frequency of such disastrous fires
ought to be sufficient to impress on farm
ers the importance of insurng their
houses, in some respectable office or offices
so that in case Of fire some capital will be
available to replace that which has been
lost. No money is more judiciOusly ex
! pended than that which is paid for insur
/ ing life or property.
Every building of any considerable size
should have at least one lightning rod
/ Thousands of dollars have sometimes been
lost by the carelossness or penuriousness
, of proprietor, neglecting or refusing tC
put up lightning rod. When farmer
or any other person, has insured his build
ings and other destructible property, put
, up lightning rod or rods, and taken all
ordinary and extraordinary precautions
against fire, he may, in case of an unfor
seen calamity of this kind, console him
self with the reflection that he has done
all in his power to prevent it, Western

S-the latter all democrats except Sprague
Of Rhode Islend The vote in the House
was 1903 to 67-yeas and nays not given in

AS the patched up bill passed maintains
the theory of the old act, that the Senate
was concurrent power with the President
in removals from Office and congress may
regulate the whole matter, it is of course,
nothing more or less than the result of a
bargain between the President, the Radical
Senators, and the Representatives, as to a
division of the spoils. The struggle, so far
as the Radicals are concerned, was not one
of principle but one of pelf. And the man.
ner in which it was ended shows that Sen
ator Sprague is not far out of the way when
he denounces the leaders of the dominant
party in possession of the government as a
mob of plunderers bent solely on rohbing
the people to enrich themselves and enrich
the moneyed power which elected and con-
trolls them

Senator Sprague OF Rhode Island on
ROttenness OF Radjcalism.

Senator Sprague's remarkable speech
made in the Senate some days ago on the
social, political, and financial condition of
the country, is to be printed in pamphlet
form, and there is very general demand
for it. Informs most complete and con-
elusive showing Of the decentralization of
society and constitutional government by
the partyin power with which he has hither-
to acted
On Tuesday last when the currency bill
was up, Mr.. Sprague made another speech,
replying to criticisms in the paper (Provi-
dence JournaD of his colleague, Mr.. Antho-
ny, nnd exposing the ignorance of jeremiah
Calbath, otherwise known as Senator Will
son of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Sprague said
he had never before witnessed such stupid
ity as was displayed in the discussion of
this currency bill. Corruptiye influences,
he continued, are to-day riding rough-shod
over all the industrial interests of this coun-
try. Yet the Senator from Massachusetts
(Mr Wilson, tells us that oil is serene and
prosperous, The capitalists of the country,
he said, were controlling everything. The
great banks of New York and other places
which welded the capital of the country,
about the business interests and relations
of the people, and yet the congress and
legislation of the country we're influenced
and governed by themanagers of the banks
both open and by indirect Corruptive inhu-
ence. He knew himself of q legislator, n
member of q committee, who had been
asked to report upon certain matter in a
certain way, and the temptation held out
before him was one hundred thousand dollars
Mr.. Sprague has become thoroughly dis
gusted with his radical brethren and their
villainy, and he has gone to work in ear
nest to expose them. He deserves the
thanks of the country for his manliness and
independence.
Senator Sprague's speech, sof Tuesday,
in novelty and boldness surpassed all his
half he, ,inveighed against the Legislation OF
congress, handling his brother senators
with ungloved hands, warning them of the
evils of their course, and like the voice in
the wilderness announcing not the coming
of great reformer, but of an indignant
people to break thesceptre of their power
and hurl them from their places. Almost
every sentence of his speech contained in
allusion to congressman such denunciatory
and by no means hattering phrases as:
Senators corrupt wherever they touch.
"If there is any man in this senate who can
withstand the corrupting influences which
surround him, he is more than God. 81
have never heard SO much ignorance dis
played ofany question as on this-the finan-
cial-here to-day" He held that the gov
ernment is breaking down by the Office
seeking pressure ON it.

Coon CONDUCT OF A YoUNG New YORKER
"A private letter from Rio Janeiro gives
intelligence of an exciting incident at that
port, in which young midshipman Of our
navy displayed fine spirit. Early in Feb
ruary, number Of men belonging TO the
flagship of the squadron had oyerstayed
their leave of absence on shore, anda boat
in charge OF this midshipmen was sent TO
pick them up. After some resistance, as
the men were in liquor, he succeeded in
securing dozen Of them, but was COM
PEELED to place two of the most unruly on
the steam launch, to be taken on board the
flagship. These men, one after the other,
jumped over into deep water before the
launch left the ferry landing, and were
both successfully brought to the surface
and saved through the gallant conduct of
the young officer, who dived after them
The incident excited the greatest admira-
ton in Rio for the heroic midshipman,
whose name is Mason, and who is n New
Yorker. He graduated at the Naval Acad-

EITHER Mr.. Benjamin f. Butler is not
fortunate in his comparisons, or Mr.. John
i. Farnswosth is the most potean Radical
in congress. Farnsworth is rather vain Of
his antiquity in the cause Of fanaticism, and
is apt to taunt Strabismus with the fact
that the radical pedigree is very short
one. Butler retorted, the other day, by
comparing Farnsworth TO old cheese. On
Friday he changed the comparison by say
ing that ''some people thought more of Ju-
das than of Paul, because Judas was the
older apostle of the twain"
II is easier to perceive resemblance be-
tween Fransworth and old cheese than be-
tween Farnsworth and Judas, or between
Butler and Paul. Judas went out and
hanged himself, being thus both the nom
NATIVE and objective Of the verb to hang.
But Farnworth will only stand in the object
I'VE case while the sheriff will personate the
nominative. Between Butler and Judas the
resemblance would be perfect but for the
fact that Judas betrayed only one master,
whereas Butler has already betrayed six or
seven, and III laying his plans to betray
another.

LOUISIANA Rock SALT MINES. The
main shaft is six feet by four, and depth
has been reached OF twenty-one feet. 1t is
proposed to mine to depth of fifty feet
and then to extend galleries due north and
south and work the main on the latest and
most scientific principles. AS Mr.. O. ex-
plains this to us we gaze in wonderment
rather more natural than scientific at the
four smooth, clear, glass-like walls of solid
salt that form the shaft. "What is The ex-
tent" we ask, "ot this wonderful bed?' 1t
underlies, replies Mr.. c., "in my opinion
the entire island Experiment has shown
that it exists under q continuous area of
one hundredan forty four acres. " Sup
posing that to be the extreme limit of the
deposit, with thickness such as you have
mined to here, how much salt would that
yield?" "About 100000 tuns," AS we
called to mind the fact that the Southern
States annually consume 100, 0OO tuns, we
sadly reflected that the little patch would
only last us ninety years.

Reliable Washington authority makes the
statement that Washburne, during the last
hours he was Secretary of State, recon-
mended Al names to the President for con-
sulships, comprising, ofcsurse, all Of the
important ones in that branch of service.
Six of these names we're from Galena, Ill.
The proceeding will appear the more dis
graceful when thefact is known that tits the
practice to appoint on the recommends
ton of the department, thus showing that
Wsshburne expected to get these names
appointed. In the list of applicants he
wrote opposite certain names promised,
SO as to indicate to Secretary Fish the dis
position that had been made by his prede-
cessor- two days secretary-of twenty
very important foreign positions 1t has
also been discovered that just before leav-
Ing congress, Washburne got the salary Of
the second assistant secretary obligation to
France increased to 81, 800 dollars in gold,

GRANT AND HIS OFFICERS. Every man,
says the New York Sun (Radical) who has
bestowed gifts on Gen. Grant is thereby dis
qualified from holding any Office of power
or profit by Gen. Grants appointment We
don't mean that he is legally disqualified,
there is no statute bearing on the subject,
because none has ever been thought neces-
sary, But disqualified by the law of per-
sonal delicacy, public policy, and q decent
respect for the worlds opinion. Cannot
Mr.. Borie understand that people will say
that he has bought this great Office, that he
has bought his great Office, that he has OBJ
tanned it by gifts OF money and of other
things2 Ofcourse, we do not admit for q
moment that such is the truth for we un-
derstand Gen. Grant too we'll to believe
that he would be influenced by such sordid
motives But Mr., Borie, who is man of
the world, and cannot put in any plea Of
ignorance, was bound to understand from
the beginning that ought MOTTO seek for,
or to take any such plOce, because the ben
efciary, or, il you prefer, the pecuniary re-
lations between himself and the General
were such that he could not decorously re-
receive any Office except one of mere COM
pliment at his hands. 1t will not do to
have the'honor of the presidency and the
most important functions of the executive
government soied and degraded by giving
even our enemies the least ground for sus-
pecting them to be allotted upon reasons
of pecuniary influence and obligation.
