Mr.. Bayard moved to TAKEN his resolu-
ton asking for copies of the instructions
given to the district attorney Of New 7 ork
relative to the prosecution of merchants.
. MIR. Conkling said the instructions had
been fully published in newspapers. There
was therefore no need to pass the resolu-
ton hurrie1y. He thought it would be bet
ter to wait until be and others could express
their views of the resolution and of Bayard's
motive in Offering it.
Mr.. Bayard replied that if he bad based
his speech on mere newspaper itenA, Mr..
Conkling would have been the first 10 call
him to order. The allusion TO his motives
be thought ungracious and unnecessarily
Ignorant, and Mr.. COnkling had no means
Of ascertaining them except from his public
remarks yesterday. Besides, judging from
Mr.. Conkling's action in reference to the
organization of the Retrenchment Commit
tee and its investigations, he feared the
Senator from New York could hardly un-
derstand his (Bayard's) motives. He did
intend to comment on the conduct of the
officers who had given the instructions, but
he wished to base his comments on anthem

FEARFUL WALK.

Dangers of Pedestrianism In Mime
sOta-The Experience Of Two Penn
sylvanfa Lads.
Inc following tragic story is clipped from
he Titusville Courier of Feb. II.
There are now stopping at the American
Hotel, in this city, couple of young men
who are truly worthy objects Of charity.
One OF them has neither arms nor feet,
while the other has only lost his feet. Their
names are Devillo and Francis Presler, and
this Is the story of their misfortune:
Their father moved from Mexican county
IN this State, to Martin county, Minnesota.
In 1000 these boys, with younger brother
and sister, together with two children of a
neighbor, went to singing school in the
neighborhOOd. In that bleak country no
one. knows when storm is imminent.
When the school was out they started home,
packed in the OK sled. The eldest boy was
but sixteen, the rest considerably younger.
AS they plOdded their way toward home
the storm increased, the track was filed
with snow, and finally they lost their way,
but still they wandered on until their faithful
team became exhausted, and refused to 90
further The weather was intensely cold,
the thermometer standing at thirty degrees
below zero.
One Of the children died the first night,
and all gave themselves up as lost. The
day dawned, but no aid was in sight; all
was dreary waste of snow. The entire
day they spent in the sled, but before night
two more were relieved from their suffer-
ings by death. On this day one of the
boys, in attempting to get out of 6he sled to
start the team, fell down and remained in
the snow all night, but was alive in the
morning. Then he determined to make
one more effort to reach home. Hobbling
to the sled be found his two brothers alive,
though Francis was frozen to the knees.
He tried to start the team, buteould not.
They refused TO move, and on investigation
the cause was found to be that their eyes
were frozen shut. He picked them open
with his fingers, and got them started for
home, which was only mic and half away.
He reached home at last with his sister and
her mates dead and his two brothers badly
frozen. One of the twOs at the American
bad to have his arms and legs amputated-
the other only his legs.
They came to this part the world TO visit
an uncle near Warren, in hopes they would
lind him with means sufficient to enable
hem to get an education and otherwise
help them start in the world. In this way
hey were disappointed. He is poor man |
ike their father, and hence their expedi- |
ion to the oil region to seek aid from tbs |
charitable.

AN irritating story of bank-teller is now
told in the newspapers. He lived in Hart
ford. Conn, and having saved a good deal
of money, retired, bought a fine farm,
stocked it, and went to live upon it like a
financial Diocletian. The directors of his
bank were so pleased that they voted him
thanks and money gratuity; whereupon
he went to their next meeting, aud calmly
informed them that he had made his little
pile by specializing with the funds of the
bank; and he also cautioned them to keep a
good lookout for his successor, who might
not be so successful as he had been. 1t is
not probable that the directors considered
these remarks to be either grateful or COM
plimentaTy.

/ The Nutritiye Value of Milk.

There is ne doubt but the nutritiye value
of milk has been very much moderated. 1t
undoubtedly contains the pabulum of nour-
ishment in more perfect proportions than
other substances; but it does not hold good
in practice with the laborer, as has been
stated, ciz: that milk diet is cheaper at
fourteen cents per quart than round steak
at twenty cents per pound; nor that laborers
can as well afford to pay fifteen cents per
quart for milk, as seventeen cents per pound
for corned beef.
Analyses of soils have proved of little
value to the husbandman, in determining
the application of manures, ETC.; and the
analyses of foods may not be altogether re-
liable when put in practice in the animal
economy. The true point, especially in the
human subject lies in a mixed diet; but
there is no doubt that far greater amount
of pure milk should be used, even by
adults, than, with economy, there is usu-
ally employed.
The quantity of water in good quality OF
milk has been stated to be eighty-siX per
cent; in round steak, seventy-fiye per
cent; in fatter beef sixty per cent in eggs,
about sixty-eight per cent; but it does not
therefore follow that pound of milk will
furnish within eleven per cent. as much
muscular force as pound of beef. In fact,
according to analysis, fat beef should be
the better food; and yetit is known that this
is not the fact; but is undoubtedly true
that much larger proportion Of milk
might be used economically and BEAUTIFULLY
as food for adults, than is the case. There
isno doubt that from pint to quart per
day would not be too much for each adult.
The principal food for children should be
milk, but still we believe in the old pre-.
scription, aStong meat for men and milk
for babes.o
