after being thawed out of Icy Alaska, he
looked in to Japan, and now turns up in Indis

the sage will possibly linger amid the ruins Of
classic Greece and drink in inspiration while
wandering in meditation deep through the
places where the old Greek poets and ora

cultivated Athenians Homeward bound the
venerable statesman will proceed up the
Mediterranean, and may rest awhile to witness

Salt and COAL tea and coffee, are articles of
prime necessity. They are brought into the
everyday domestic life of the American people
in all parts of the country. Hence any GUS

a repeal of these duties, and their direct rep

have responded to the demand and passed a
bill to repeal the duties on the articles named.

act upon the matter, being Influenced to that
end, it is reasonably supposed, by the
Pennsylvania and Maryland Senators, who
have coal on the brain to such an extent as to
overshadow all other interests and considera-

vote against repeal. This question ought to
be settled at once. II STAYED off until the
next session there will be such an amount oil

Congress Yesterday-Tho SOuthern Investi.
cation Committee in tho Senate-Ben
| Buffers Presidency in Evil.
The question of joint committee to inves-
tigate the Ku Klux outrages in the South
came up in the Senate yesterday, and after a
very harmonious and digniied debate, parti-
cipated in by Senators of both parties, reso-
luton looking to the appointment Of such
committee was passed. The tone of debate
was remarkable in view of the unreasonable
and clamorous partisanship displayed in the
House on the same subject. Mr.. Thurman,
In the Senate, suggested that the investigation
was not to be party matter, and asked
that fair representation of the minority
be placed upon the committee. This was
promptly accorded by the other side,
and the sentiment in regard to the
absence Of partisanship in the securing of
peace and order in the South was cordially
acquiesced in. In fact, the Senate really
seemed anxious and willing to protect the
to secure harmony and peace there, even if it
took what so disgusted Ben Butler-demo-
cratic votes-to do it.
Another obstacle to an early adjournment
presented itself in the Senate Mr.. Sumner
objected to the discussion of any proposition
to adjourn until his supplementary civil rights
bill is passed. IT secures hotel, Steamboat,
railroad, theatre and church accommodations
to the colored race in the North as well as the
South, and thus we have the darkies and the
chivalry alike banding together to inflict upon
the country the continued presence of Con-
gress with no business to do and no commit
tees 10 do it.
In the House General Butler came forward
again with his Ku Klux bill, to which be
clings with the fondness that mothers feel for
deformed offspring. The more that bill is
kicked and cuffed the closer Butler will cling
to it, and, no doubt, long after the investi-
eating committee have made their report he
will be found fondling his deformity and
inventing some new parliamentary device to
bring it before the House. He failed to bring
it up on this occasion, for objection was made.
Then he insisted upon the regular order of
business, which would have brought his pet
into notice under the call of States but a
movement was instantly made to adjourn, and
carried by vote Of 1OS to 80 Between
Buffers determination to press his bill and the

| the free lance Of Essex takes considerable
commendaton to himself for being able to
stop legislation by his single word, and plumes
himself upon his bravery In withstanding the
onslaught of all the clans like Fitz James,
when ''his back against rock be bore" But
| the fact is it is mere piece of childish spite
on Buffers part, not bravery at all, and we
advise him, while his party is threatened with
disintegration and defeat through the petty
chickering's Of it's leaders, not to add to its sore
discomforts by any such nonsensical stubborn
ness as he contemplates.

How to Destroy the Cooling Moth.

The following is the method of de-
stroying this pest, recommended by d.
N. Brown, Esq, of St. Joseph, in his es-
say on the cooling moth, read before the
Berrien County (Mich.) Horticultural
Association
ave now invite the attention of all
apple orchardists to simple, practical
method of exterminating this pest from
any given locality, at an expense not
exceeding one dollar and fifty cents per
acre. About the first of June, take a
wisp of rags, cotton or woolen-wooien
preferred-which will wrinkle and af-
ford concealment, say about the size of
a sleeve doubled, and place these rags
in the lowest forks of the apple tree, or
wind several thicknesses of rags about
the base of the tree, or both. All the
worms descending and ascending will
crawl in and remain. Now we know
where the apple worm is. How shall we
kill him
"Take clothes wringer, place it on
a light frame, then carefully remove the
rags from tree, for some of the worms
will be attached to the bark; place
an end in the jaws of the wringer,
and run the rags through-every worm
is annihilated; after this replace the
rags.
"This work should be repeated every
ten or twelve days during the season,
and until the fruit is gathered"

Female Education.

The question of female education APP
pears TO have been in vogue even up
ward of a hundred and thirty years
ago. as we find it was discussed at that
time. But ideas then were not so adj
vanced as in the present more enlight-
ened age for we read that " the most
beautiful woman in the world would
not be half so beautiful if she was as
great a mathematician as Sir Isaac New
ton, or as great metaphysician as the
noblest and profoundest schoolman.
Learning is so far from improving a
lady's understanding, that it is likely to
Danish the most useful sense out of it,,
making her know nothing at all of
what she is most concerned to know.
While she was contemplating the regu-
larity of the motions of the heavenly
bodies, very irregular would be the pro-
ceedings of her children and servants.
The more she saw of order and har-
mony above, the more confusion and
disorder would she occasion in her do
nestle affairs below. The more alb
stracted she was in her ideas and specu-
lations, the greater stranger would she
be 10 the rules and maxims Of common
prudence. Great learning in a lady is
superseded by those charms that have a
lustre in them which our highest attain
ments cannot equal"

No PILL IN THE WORLD ever had anything
like the circulation of AYERS PILLS.
Throughout these States, Mexico, and the
Central American republic, down the slopes
of the Andes, and across the pampas of
South America, in negro villages, amid the
fervid wilds of Africa, throughout the jun
giles of India, and the steppes of interior
Asia, over .he continent of Australia, and
the islands Of the Pacific, these PILLS are
known and everywhere used as family RENE
dies for diseases. With distant nations,
their wonderful cures attract more attention
than they do at home ; tor the sentiment of
wonder takes a far deeper hold on their
minds than the results of q high scientific
skill with us. The amount consumed re-
quires seventy-fve thousand Goses day to
supply il. An inspection of the manutac-
tory showed Us how this enormous demand
is made and sustained. Added to the con-
summate skill of their composition is an
extreme care in their manufacture, which at
once secures the most perfect material and
their most accurate combination. The con-
sequence is a power and certainty in con-
rolling disease which other remedies never
lttained.-Bat Courier.

How to Purchase a Clothes Wringer.

In purchasing a clothes wringer we
prefer one with cog-wheels, as they
greatly relieve the rubber roll from
strains which would otherwise occur,
and add much to the durability Of the
machine. The next point is to see that
the cog-wheels are so arranged as not
to fly apart when large article is
passed between the rollers. 1t matters
not whether the cog-wheels are on one
end or both ends of the shaft; if large
articles disconnect them, they are en-
tirely useless. This is very important,
for as the larger the article, the greater
the strain, therefore if the cog-wheels
separate so as to disconnect, they are of
no service when most needed. We
have taken some pains to examine the
various wringers, and much prefer the
" Universal" as lately improved, be-
cause it has long and strong gears
(Rowell's Patent Double Gear, and is
the only wringer with patent stop" for
preventing the cog-wheels from separat-
ing so far as to lose their power.-Nee0
England Farmer. Having used the kind
Of wringer mentioned above, we fully
indorse all that is said of it by our New
England contemporary Editors of
Scientific american.
