Senator Sherman on Tsxation.

Senator Sherman on Tsxation.
In the Senate, on Monday, May
10th inst, the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial Appropriation bill be
ing up, the following was among the
proceedings:
The question being upon an
amendment byMr. .Corbett that male
clerks, counters and copyists in the
Departments shall be paid the same
and no more than females perform
ing the same duties, the amendment
was rejected by yeas 6, nays So.
The pending amendment of Mr..
Trumbull placing females in the
matter Of compensation on the same
footing with males, was modified
npon the suggestion Of Mr.. Morrill,
of Maine,b by adding to it provision
authorizing the heads Of Depart
ments to appoint females as clerks
in any Of the classes Of clerkships
in the Departments.
Mr.. Morrill, said the amendment
would substantially give first class
clerkships at 81 200 to ladies now
receiving $500, and would permit
their appointment to higher grades
of second, third and fourth class
clerkships. He was in favor of the
amendment as involving the great
principle Of opening all the avenues
of employment to women qualified
to fill them, and give them the same
compensation with men, for the
same kind and quantity of labor
The amendment was then adopted
by 20 to IL.
Mr. Sherman then addressed the
Senate upon the necessity of greater
economy in appropriations in con
nection with the reduction Of taxa
ton, taking as his text the amend
ments just adopted, which he said
necessitated an additional expense
of 100000 per annum, by adding
TO the permanent clerical force
some six or seven hundred lady EN-,
ployes. This was fair sample OF
indiscriminate increase of appropri-
ations in the Senate. The uncer-
tainty thereby occasioned as to ag
gregate amounts was the real cause
Of difficulty in fixing the rates OF
taxation. The bill was one Of eight
annual appropriation bills which in
cluded every branch of expenditure
of the National Government. In the
book of estimates furnished by va
rious Bureaus, these expenditures
were set forth as follows:

THE POOR MANS MAY.


THE POOR MANS MAY.
Sweet Mayl they tell me thou art comi;
Thou art not come to me;
1 cannot spare single hour,
Sweet May! to welcome thee.
God knows how hard I've worked this
week
To earn my children bread;
And,se We Fave an empty board
My children are unfed.
And art thou the same sweet May
My chill ihood loved SO we'll,
When humming like happy bee.
Along some primerose dell,
thought, Oh! what lovely world
Is this. dear God has given,
And wondered any one should seek
For any other heaven?
The hawthorn buds are come again,
And apple blossoms too
And all the idle happy birds
May sing the long day through.
The old green lane uwakes once more,
And looks, perhaps, for me;
Alas! green lane, my heart may die
cannot come to thee.

FAREWELL TO MAY,

Among the falling apple bowers
The mated robins sing;
The hyacinths are fading fast
Tt is the last of Spring;
Its sweet, last day! ''Oh, why,
Fair maiden May we sigh,
"Wilt thou net 1inger?" Hush! for June
Delays until she goes;
And we must see the violets fade
Before we pluck a rose.
'Tis only losing we can win
And giving we can take;
Our pleasures, tarrying too long,
Our sorest trials make.
The hearts that grieve to loose thee, May
Would sorrow more to have thee stay.
Farewell, farewell, then, gentle Spring!
Our blessing with thee goes:
Above the withering violets
We see the opnning rose!

Pensions 30 490 600
Public Works "a 6a5, 900
Postal Deficiencies 55A 900
These with the items of perman-
ent appropriations made total Of
$155, ,297,617 of annual expenditure
To these were to be added what are
called indefinite appropriations and
that great item of interest on the
public debt, $129,077 ,OG0, making a
total upon which the various appro-
priation bills were based Of $685.
516,732 16. The annual report of
the Secretary of the Treasury placed
the amount at 1921. 600, ,O0O-a dis
crepancy of some 81, 100000, which
Awas explained in the difference in
the item of public works, the Secre-
tary's estimate being $19, ,132, 900 in
excess Of the appropriation Of last
year. The action of Congress in in
creasing the items ofappropriation,
far in excess Of the estimate of the
Departments, was referred TO as an
additional element of uncertainty
in determing our expenses for the
coming year, as also the fact of an
unexpended balance in the Treasury
Department of $110,000,00O This
might be drawn upon largely. In
addition to the annual approprfa-
tions, it might be continued over in
to the following year. An amend
ment had been engrafted upon the
bill by which these balances, hereaf-
ter, would be carried to the Surplus
fund, the transfer Of appropriations
having been forbidden by an act of
February, 1868. The item of ella ms
was also, indefinite. If, as had been
proposed, Congress adopted this
rule of paying all damages incurred

Collie in Horses.

We are Informed by gentleman
who has given much attention to the
diseases to which horses arc liable,
that the following remedy is a. safe
and effective one. 1t is certainly SIM

prudence, we are not aware that it
would do an; harm to the animal, If
it did not effect a cure. We give 1t
more readily because it is a remedy
always at hand, namely:
Dissolve as much salt i'll a quart OF
pure water as may be required thor
oughly to saturate the liquid, and
drerch the patient with one-half Of it.
If symptoms of relief are not noticed

There are two kinds of collie, .fatm-
lent collie and spasm0dic colo. In the
first, it is cccasioned by the enlage-
ment of the intcstines by the food
passing through the process OF fer
mentation, instead of indigestion.
Gases are largely generated, and hence
the distension and pain.
The spasmodic collie, which is ac-
companied by more excruciating pains
than the former, is caused by con-
traction of portion of the intestines.
In either case, to fierce down various
pungent and violent remedies is dam
gerous and crncl.-N. 4. Farmer.

Rearing Chickens.

The following are some rules that 1T
would be well to observe in rearing
chickens: l. Keep the chickens in q
warm, clean, dry coop. 2. Don't let
them run out in the morning until the
sun has removed the dew from the
grass. 3. Let them have p'enty OF
food and fresh water. 4. The coop
must be rat proof. Don't let the chicks
have access to slops or stagnant wa
ter. 6. See that they are housed
when storm is threatening.
Rules for keeping the henery in
proper order:-l. Clean out every day
and sprinkle handful of lime. 2.
Sprinkle ashes over the floor two OF
three times week. 3. frequently
change the straw or hay forming the
nests, and whitewash the nest boxes
at every renewal, and twice a year
thoroughly whitewash the whole into
rior of the house.
Rules for the management OF set.
ting hens IL. Set the hen in a place
where she will not be disturbed. 2.
Give a large hen II or Ii eggs, me.
dunn sized one 10 or11, small one s
OF nine. 3. Don't let the hen come
out of the sitting room until she has
Matched, but keep her supplied with
gravel, food and water. l. When
chicks are Matched leave them in the
nest for eight or ten hours. 4. DOM

The Convent OF the Capuchins.

The celebrated Convent of the Capu-
chins, about mile without the city of
Palermo, Sicily, contains nothing very
remarkable but its burial-place, which
is indeed a singular curiosity. This is
a vast subterranean apartment divided
into galleries, the walls on each side of
which are followed into variety of
inches, as if intended for great cOllec-
ton of statues. Instead of statues,
these inches are filled with dead bodies,
set upright on their legs, and secured
by the back to the inside of the niche.
The number of these is not less than
three thousand; and all being dressed
in the clothes they usually wore, they
form most respectable and venerable
assembly. The skin and muscles, by a
certain preparation, become as dry and
hard as a piece of stOck-fisb, and though
many of them have been here upwards
of two hundred and fifty years, yet
none are reduced to skeletons; the
muscles, indeed, i'm some, appear to be
a good deal more shrunk than in Others;
probably because these persons had
been more attenuated at the time OF
their death. Here the people of Paler-
mo pay daily visits to their deceased
friends, and recall with pleasure and
regret the scenes of their past life; here
they familiarize themselves with their
future state; and choose the company
they would wish to keep in the other
world. 1t is common thing to make
choice of their niche; the bodies of the
princes and first nobility are lodged in
handsome chests or trunks, some OF
them richly adorned; are not in the
shape of coffins, but all of one width,
and about a foot and half or two feet
deep. The keys are kept by the near
est relations of the family, who some
times come and drop tear over their
departed friends.

Range OF the Human Eye.

The range of the human eye may
be judged of from consideration
which gives us at the same time a
good idea of the scope ofanimal struc-
ture. Surprising that an individual
ofe.e cry known species were to take
its stand between the two species that
were respectfully the next larger and
the next smaller than itself, the small
est known animal at one extreme of
the line, and the largest standing at
the other and then suppose we were
to ask whish creature occupied the
middle place, having as many degrees
of size above it as below and as many
below il as above, that place would be
found to be occupied by the common
house-fy. What a stupendous optic
al instrument must that be which, as
sisted with few brass tubes and some
disks of glass, will discern creature
as much smaller than a fly, as a fly is
smaller than an elephant!
