Relative to the removal of duty from rice
by the Congress of the United States,
and instructing our Senators and Repre-
sentatives relative thereto.
| WHEREAS, The Congress Of. the United
! States OF America are contemplating, in
| the readjusting of the national Tariff to re-
move tax or duty from rice, which act
| materially affects one Of the largest pro-
ductive interests of our State, and other
wise fails in the first duty of a government
in the protection of its material interests,
by the enforcement of healthy revenue
laws in the interest of protection to Amer
lean industry; therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of Louisi-
ana in General Assembly convened, That,
in the deliberate Judgment of the General
Assembly thereof, it would be an unjust
measure and against sound public policy
tor the Congress of the United States Of
America to remove the duty or tax on rice
at this time, in view of the large national
debt, and the depressing condition of the
business interest and agricultural industry
OF the South. Therefore, we instruct the
Senators and request 'our Representatives
IN Congress to oppose all such legislation
at this time, and that the Governor of this
State is hereby requested to communicate
this joint resolution to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, so that they
may take prompt action thereon in the in

The public of Vienna have been much
troubled by the story of an apparition which
has lately occupied the newspapers of the
Austrian capital. A sentry, posted by night
in the lobbies of the imperial palace. OBJ
served to his dismay female figure, envel-
oped in the long folds of capacious cloak,
emerge from the chambers of the late Arch
duchess Sophia. The alarmed soldier at
once saved himself from intercourse with
the ghost by flight and told his story to
his superior officer. Without putting faith
in his narrative, the marshal Of the court
established a watch, and caused the Hobbies
communicating with the room of the mother
of the Emperor to be occupied by the
palace guards. Next night the mysterious
vision was again seen by several persons
but vanished almost instantly. Another
night the phantom showed itself to a second
sentry, who tainted with terror. Some days
later new sentry saw the spectre approach,
but more bold than his companions, main
tanned his sang froid, and aimed blow at
1T with his bayOnet. The spectre thereup0n
TOOK TO night, but, pursued by the soldier,
teIl mortally wounded by bayonet thrust
IN the back. The guards and attendants
FASTENED to the spot on hearing tbe cries If
the wounded ghost and found a, heardIess
youth, who was recognized as a priest. The
strangest part of the business ia that the
court has done its utmost to hush the MAJ.
ter up, and the soldier whose bayonet led
to the discovery of the mystery has been re-
lieved from his sentry duties and sent. as
was said, to join distant garrison. The
IdgblaH, however, says he has been put in
prison, and is now in solitary confinement
The clerical papers deny that the ghost
was priest; but, on the other hand, it is
TIleged that he was one OF the young chap
lains attached to the palace, and a tool of
the Jesuits.

THE Pin INknchine.

This machine is one of the closest ap
prOaches that mechanics have made to the
dexterity Of the human hand. 1t is about
tile height and size of lady's sewing ma.
chine, only much stronger On the side at
the back light belt descends from long
shaft in the ceiling that drives all the ma
chimes, ranged in rows on the floor. On the
left side of the machine hangs on peg a
reel Of wire that has been Strengthened by
running through compound system Of small
rollers. The wire descends, and the end OF
it enters the machine. This is the food
consumed by this vOracious little dwarf
He pulls it in and bites it off by inches,
incessantly-l40 bites to the minute. just
as he seizes each bit a little hammer with a
Concave face hits the end of the wire three
times, "upsets' it to a head, while he gripes
1t to a counter sunk hole between his teeth.
With an outward thrust of his tongue he
then lays the pin sideways in a little groove
across the rim of o small wheel that slowly
revolves. BY the external pressure of
stationary hoop, these pins roll in their
places as they are carried under two series
of small files, three in each. These files
grow finer toward the end of the series
They lie at a slight inclination on the pins,
and a series of cams, levers and springs are
made to play lightning. Thus the pins are
dropped in a little shower into a box
Twenty pounds are days work for
one Of these jerking little automatons. The
machines reject crooked pins, the slightest
irregularity in any of them being detected.
