t'ResOIuttOn.
Mr.. Morton called up the resolution for
adjournment on the third Monday in May.
Messrs. Corbett and Cole favored an early
adjournment.
Mr.. Morton by consent modified the reso-
luton so as to fix the 29th day of May for
adjournment. There were two amend
ments pending, Summers providing that
Congress shall not adjourn until after It
shall haze passed the supplementary civil
rights bill, and Schurz providing that it
shall not adjourn until after revision of
the tariff and internal revenue laws and
the reform of the civil service bill.
Mr.. Sherman opposed tho resolution.
He thought it an extraordinary resolution
az it had originated in the Senate. Hereto
fore such resolutions had come from tho
House. There was no occasion, for the
resolution as the majority could adjourn at
any time.
Mr.. ThurmaR approved ~ the resolu.
tion. If 1t passed the people would como
to the conclusion that there was to be noth-
ing done in the way of reform. He als,D

Chicago Relief.
The morning hour expired, and the ann,
nesty bill came up.
On motion Of Mr.. Logan, it was laiE
aside and the bill for the relief of Chicago
taken up.
Mr.. Chandler moved to OinClude Manistee.
Mr.. Carpenter suggested Pestigo. There
mad been more real suffering in the North
west than in Chicago.
Mr.. Logan insisted that the commercial
relations of Chicago made her case affect
the whole country.
Mr.. Ferry, of Michigan, said the bill in
any shape would be a burden on his luni-
bering State, by admitting Canadian lumber
free, and he preferred a direct appropria-
ton.
Mr.. Scott thought the bill unconstitution-
al, as making determinations.
Mr.. Sherman concurred with Mr.. Scott.
Mr.. Trumbull made pathetic appeal for
the bill without amendment. Even BuenOs
Ayres had responded for Chicago relief.
Mr.. Carpenter read from Mr.. TrumbuIl's
speech on relief for Portland, showing th at
Mr.. Trumbull was then opposed to Co 4
gressional charities. Chicago, he said, hi ID
been assuming and arrogant, and on ac-
count of her size and importance, had at-
tracted more than fair share of the symp a.
thy and charity of the world.
Mr.. COnBliRg preferred direct appropli-
alton.
The discussion continued at length. All
the amendments were voted down, and the
bill as reported from the committee passed.

Joined to the long bridge that spans the l..
street slough, in Uppertown. ltruns along
the bay side Of the bridge, and is about the
width of the sidewalks, being of course
rallied in, securely. This is a commendable
enterprise for several reasons. The bridge
is quite long since its reconstruction las
season, and is a bad place to be traversed
by women, and children, as they are liable
to meet the whole troop Of horses that are
running at large during the summer, and
which, worried by dogs and boys, are con
tinually on the canter crossing the bridge
as they are driven between upper and lower
town. We have seen cattle standing OF
the bridge in q perfect herd, assembled
there for the sake of the fly disperSin
breeze, and very 10th to move for passer>
by. Again, in rainy weather teams carry
great amount of mud on the bridge. A

THOSE quiet places seen Oh the surface OF
the bay, when the wind is gently crnkllng
the water about them, are caused by beds
of weeds, not seaweeds exactly (dlg@), but
something in the same style. They are hard
places to row through, and afford no sport
in trolling. SO man may be quiet and
unruffied because his nature is little
weedy, and not quick to respond to the
claims Of business, and public spirit. A
little agitation of the surface Of our nature

The Baldwin Apple.

Not more than one in ten of those
who enjoy the superior favor of the
Baldwin apple, knows from whence it
originated. For the enlightenment OF
the ignorant nine, we will inform them
that this peculiar species of fruit came
from Seeding planted by Josiah
Pearce, Esq, of the town of Baldwin,
Me. From this stock iLnumerable gratis
have extended the fruit far and wide
but from well-known law of extension,
the Baldwin apple is rarely found in
perfection when far removed from the
place where it originated. In Maine,
the color, texture, aroma, and solidIty
of the apple leave nothing to desire, be-
ing in truth so delicious, that it might
have been akin to the one said to have
brought difficulty upon our mother Eve
In other localities, where the soil, eli
mate, or culture may have proved un-
friendly, what is called the Baldwin ap-
pie may often be found total failure
being puffy, insipid, and subject to early
decay.

How Trees are Killed by Lightning.

All who have examined tree which
has been destroyed by thunderbolt "
will have noticed not only how the lay
ers of the wood have been shattered and
separated into strips, as if full of wind
shakes, but also the dryness, hardness,
and brittleness of the wood, as though
it had been through the process of cur
ing in kiln. This is attributed to the
instantaneous reduction of the sap-the
moisture within the wood-into steam.
When this moisture is abundant, as in
May or early June, the amount and
force of the steam not only bursts and
separates the layers and fbres, but rends
the trunk in pieces or throws off a por-
ton of it, down line of greatest power
or at least resistance. And when the
amount of steam thus suddenly genera
ted is less, owing to the drier condition
Of the stem from continual evaporation
and leaf exhalation, there may be no
external trace of the lightning stroke
yet the leaves will wither in a few day s,
showing that the stem has been render
ed incapable of conveying supplies and
the tree will either partially or entirely
die. Still lighter discharges may be
conducted down the moist stem, without
any lesion or hurt.-Buil2ing Neocs.

A Plea for the House Dog,

A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
speaks these good words for the house
dog: What hard working farmer, on
returning at night to rest his weary
limbs, does not feel that he is more safe
from burglars, and his stock, fowls and
orchards more secure from thieves and
midnight prowlers, both two and four
legged, if he has good, faithful dog
about his premises? What good house
wife, and all such prefer leaving their
hard days work on the clothes line du-
ring the dews of night, does not feel
that her clothes are more safe if Bose is
in the yard When the little ones are
off berrying, fishing or wandering in the
woods, what parent does not feel less
anxious if Bose is with them When
you are absent from home over night,
do you not feel that home is more secure
if Bose guards the premises-and who
greets your return with more cheerful
welcome than he? From the earliest
period of history the dog has been the
faithful companion of man, and is the
only species of the brute creation that
will forsake its own species and follow
man. A dog may be taught to be useful
in many ways, even to the saving of hu-
man life. You can easily learn dog to
go into the water, and bring out stick,
your hat or coat, and by filling a suit
of your boys clothes with straw and
throwing it into the river your dog will
bring them out; and if your little boy
should accidentally fall into the water
Bose would soon safely land him on the
shore,
