PURIFICATION.

The Sacramento Uuion makes some
remarks upon the standing and reputa-
ton OF many OF the present members OF
the United States Senate, and points
out the urgent necessity for complete
publication of that body to be perfected
at the earliest possible moment. The
Union is right. Among the members OF
the Senate may be found some Of the
most corrupt, INSCRIPTIONS men in the
nation. Take Clayton, of Arkansas, for
instance. and his colleague, Dorsey;
Flanagan, of Texas, who shook before
the Senate in triumph his share of the
spoils Of the salary grab; West, Of Louisi.
ana, Conover, Of Florida, and many 9TH
ers that are always found voting for
every stealing measure that is brought
before them. These do great mischief,
not only to the communities which they
misrepresent, but to the country at large.
They are purchasable material. and every
one knows it. When, therefore, any
swindle has to be put through, their
aid can always be depended upon-for a
consideration, of course. Bad as such
things are, they do not form the woist
feature in the case. In the general leg
islation affecting the whole country, the
influence OF these men has a most per-
nicious effect. They know nothing, care
nothing, about the dictates Of patriotism.
honor or duty. Making appeals to them
on such considerations would be equally
as useful as singing psalms to dead
donkey. They are deaf to all such argu-
ments. and the only manner in which
they can successfully be approached is
to excite their cupidity, and then they
ct once appreciate the force of any argu.
ments you may choose to advance. The
presence of such men in the national
councils is blighting curse. They cor
rupt the very atmosphere that surrounds
them. They havo SO incurably infected
the whole business Of legislation that
they have rendered that branch Of the
Government synonym for everything
that is corrupt, false, deceitful and
shameful. The Sacramento Union is
right when it says the Senate, as well as
Congress, needs purifying, and every OPP
portunity should be taken to reject the
old and return new members, who may
serve the people better; there is no pos
sibility Of their doing any worse. The
country has certainly reached the lower
profound Of that dirty depth, and there.
fore from any change whatever improve
ment may reasonably be hoped.

An ORCHARD IN THE MIDST Ol
DENSE FOREST.

Some twelve miles below this city.
says correspondent of the Inter-
Ocean, writing from Fort Madison,
Iowa. are situated some very fine look
ing apple-trees, growing In the midst
Of the forest. For a long time their
origin has been Il matter of conjecture.
The peculiarities of these trees arc:
First. the shape Of the leaf, which is
much larger than the ordinary apple
leaf, being long aud quite slender.
Second, they bear fruit of the finest
1layor, and parties come for miles
around to taste them, and some take
leaves, to press them and keep as curl
osities. An old settler who resided in
this part of the country before Black
Hawk and numerous other Indian
chiefs left, gives us the following in
formations: He says that the honor of
planting these trees lies between the
respective tribes. st. Louis being the
cantral trading point of the "Far
West" at that time, these tribes of In
dians had to go there to procure sup
plies of General Clark, who was act
point.
He informs us that between the
years 1895 and 1898, Red Wing, then a
famous young chief, OH his return
from st. Louis, spent fnw days at st.
Charles. Mo-. thena small settlement,
now - flourishing city. While there,
he was givena few apples to eat, which
he seemed 10 enjoy very much, and
asked for some of the trees. One of
the settlers procured some twenty five
young sprouts, and carefully covered
the roots, and gave him the necessary
instruction for planting them. These
lie carried Il distance Of one hundred
miles to his home and planted around
his wigwain. Black Hawk gave this
rs the "true origin of tile trees" They
are one hundred years old, and from
present appearances, will live the bal
:nce OF this century,

The Instruments from this establishment

position among first.class pianos.
Mr.. Miller is himself practical mechan-

periority which these pianos have over 9TH

careful supervision which each instru-
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
fore it is allowed to leave his establish

they have received at the New England

critics. As in clover, hay, or grass, a large
portion OF the sugar, starch, and gum is
changed into woody fiber by standing

until it is too hard to be easily crushed in
this way, it is too ripe and its quality is
inferior. From my experience in milling,
as well as farming, l am satisfied that it
