Summary Of Important Proceedings in
Congress.

Senator Howe has introduced into the
Senate bills for a ship canal to connect
the waters of Green Bay with Lake
Michigan, Wis; making land grants In
aid of the Green Bay and Lake Pep1n
Railroad, and railroad from Milwau-
kee to Lake Superior, via Green Bay !;
extending the time for the construction
of the railroad from the ST. CroIx River
to the west end of Lake Superior and
Bayfield,.
Among the bills introduced into the
House are the following: To repeal the
income tax; increasing the representa-
ton of certain states in the House OF
Representatives to enable the people
of Colorado and New Mexico to form a
constitution and state government-the
latter under the name of Lincoln, with
the view to admission.
The House has passed joint resolu-
tions repeating the duties on salt, coal,
tea and coffee. The vote stood at about
14O ayes to so noes.
The House has adopted resolution
instructing the Committee on Foreign
Affairs to inquire whether the acqu1sl-
tion of Lower California is feasible and
desirable, and if so to make such rec
ommendation as may seem best.
The House has passed resolution
for the appointment of Committee OF
13, to sit during the recess of Congress
and investigate the condition of the
south with reference to the outrages
upon the persons and property of Union
men. Subsequently the Senate passed
a Joint resolution to the same effect,
and it is probable that the House will
rescind IT'S action and concur in the
Senate's resolution for joint Commit
tee of both houses.
Sumner presented in the Senate a
memorial from citizens of San Domln-
90 who had been eMled from their
country by Baez, setting forth his cru
elites to them and all who opposed him
and the scheme of annexation, that the
vote in favor of annexation was OBJ
tanned by force and protesting against
that measure Before the memorial
had been half read the point was raised
that it was against the usage of the
Senate to receive memorials from for
eigners, and the reading of the paper
was stopped.
Both houses have concurred IN grant
ing permission for the erection OF 6
monument to Prof. Morse, on the cor
ner of Seventh street and Pennsylva
MIA Avenue, Washington.
Senator Davis has proposed an amend
ment to the constitution for the estab
lishment of constitutional tribunal
consisting of one member from eact
State, with power to decide all ques
tions of Jurisdiction between the United
States and the several states, and the
constitutionality of acts of Congress
or any government officer, and to opeI
and count the electoral votes for Presi
dent and Vice President.
| Nearly the whole session in the
House on the 10th was occupied by {
bitter personal alteration or debate
between Speaker Blaine and Gen. But
ler, growing out of certain charge;
made by the latter In a circular to the
members, the principal of which was
that the passage of the resolution for
committee of investigation into South
ern outrages was secured by a trick
The Speaker WAS active in getting uI
the resolution, and Butler opposed 1t,
hence the quarrel.

The appearance of walnut may be
given to white woods, by painting or
sponging them with a concentrated
warm solution of permaganate of potas-
sa The effect is different on different
kinds of timbers, some becoming stain
ed very rapidly, others requiring more
time for this result. The permaganate
is decomposed by the woody fiber !;
brown peroxyde of manganese is pre-
cipitated, which is afterward removed
by washing them with water The
wood when dry, may be vanished, and
will be found to resemble, very closely,
the natural dark woods.

How to Test the Eyes OF u Horse.


To test horses eyes, look at the
/ eye carefully, when the horse is in
rather a dark stable Note the size
and shape of the pupil, carry this care
fully in your mind while you turn the
horse about to 3 strong light. If the
pupil contracts and appears much
smaller than in the first instance, you
may infer that the horse has a good,
strong eye, but if the pupil remains
nearly of the same size IN both cases,
his eyes are weak, and you had better
have nothing to do with him.
Chickens Dropping and Dying!s
The Rural New Yorker has the follow
ing: Chickens are very often seen in
the poultry yard dropping and moping
about, and finally die before any atten-
tion is paid to them; and then breeders
are profuse in their queries as to what
ails their fowls. One reason is that the
chickens are either too highly fed or
become lousy. In the former case the
food should be chopped eggs, bread
and milk, scraps from the table chop
ped fine, and let them have plenty of
fresh mold and road sand or gravel. In
the latter case, put some worm-wood in
their water and grease the head thor
oughly with lard or fresh butter. In
our youthful days the first thing we did
after the chicken was out of the shell
was to saturate its head well with fresh
butter. This precaution, in our opin-
ION, has saved us many brood.

Breeding Young stock.

Mr.. Wolcott maintained, in paper
before the Central New York Farmers
Club, that breeding from young stock
is prolific cause of abortion in cows
Heifers are more subject to abortion
than other cows. A yearling bull is
unfit for breeding, and should be dis
carded altogether from use. This rule
will apply with equal force to all kinds
of domestic animals. Pigs bred from
young stock are not only little runts
but usually too weak to walk, and COM
monty die within two hours from birth.
Texas cattle but seldom breed until
they are three years old, or older, and
they are fed upon grasses and forage
grown upon soils abundant in mineral
plant food Their calves, when few
hours old, will run like elk across the
prairies, and a herd of cattle stamped
ing, will run ten or twenty, and some
times, twenty-five miles in less time
than horses could be driven, showing
strength and endurance. Mr.. W. be-
lieved that breeding from too young
stock was one prolific cause of abor
tion in COWS. It deteriorates the con-
stitution of animals.

Harden the Necks of Your Teams.
Some horses have tender skins, and
the harness viii sometimes gall them
cruelty, in defiance of all means to pre-
vent it. But, many times, the true
cause is attributable to q bad collar,
bad harness, or to q good harness i'm
properly fitted to the animal. A yoke
of bows that do not fit the oxen well,
will often gall them, and unfit them for
labor, when, if these things were as
they ought to be, they would work with
far more ease, and their skin would not
be CALLED
When q harness or yoke of bows do
not fit properly, and the skin is liable
to be CALLED, bathe those parts before
they are CALLED, with cold water, until
the outside skin appears quite soft, and
then bathe those parts with strong
decoction of white oak bark. Let this
be done every day, and the skin will
become much harder and tougher than
it usually is. A little care in prevent
ing an i'll, is far better than much labor
and skill in curing it, or in endeavor-
ing to obviate it's injurious Effects
