HOUSE.


The House went into committee of the whole,
Mr.. Wilson Of Iowa. in the chair, on the army ap-
preparation bill which approprates S27, 70l 500.
Mr.. Holmen, of Indiana, moved to reduce the
force-of the army from $4,000 to $4,000 men, and
argued in support of the amendment
Mr.. Wheeler, Of New York, opposed the amend
nent, contending that the army could not safely
be reduced below the present strength.
Mr. Holman of Indiana, replied that an army
should not be maintained for the purpose of mele
~ furnishing employment for officers. The COM
mttee military affairs might devise means for
employing supernumerary officers. The amend
ment was
Rejected.
Mr.. Wheeler accused Mr.. Cox of New York of
having sustained the action of President Buchanan
and of Jefferson Davis then Secretary of War, in
breaking up the Kansas legislature. He sent to
the Clerks desk tc be read, an extract from a
speech delivered by Mr.. Cox in the House in
1856. Mr. Wheeler alleged that this speech was
| made by s. ;. Cox, then a member from Ohio.
The speech sustained the action Of the President
and its reading was received with great liter
and clapping of hands on the republican side.
After the clerk had read few paragraphs Cox
rose and stated that he was not in Congress at
that time, and the speech was made by Lysander
Cox of kentucky, then Wing member.
This announcement was received with great
laughter and applause On tho democratic side,
Mr.. Wheeler sat down, while the democrats,
initiating the republicans previous to this an
nouncment, called loudly to the clerk to continue
, the reading.
Mr.. Cox inquired of Wheeler whe ther he intend
en- to impose on the House.
Mr.. Wheeler replied that he did not; that when
he sent the extract to the desk to be read, he did
so under the belief that Mr.. Cox was then mem
Der of the House and the author of the speech.
Mr.. Cox said he accepted the explanation OF his
colleague, but he thought any member of the
House having charge of appropriation bill in
volyipg S21 100000 ought to be better posted.
The consideration of the bill was then continu-

A Kansas Law.POint.

At White Cloud last week they had a
case the decision of which beats the
celebrated judgments Of Solomon. A
person owing another money gave him a
bill of sale of his safe. The time expired,
the debt was not paid and the person
holding the bill of sale took possession
of the safe and removed it to quarters
provided for the purpose. The former
owners books were in the safe, and he
asked and received permission to unlock
the safe and take them out. In relock-
ing the safe he changed the combination
SO that no person but himself could open
it, and upon demand refused to divulge
the secret. On complaint of the
owner of the safe this person was
arrested on a criminal charge. Both
parties engaged lawyers and the trial
commenced. The attorneys for the de-
fendant set up the plea that the combi-
nation of the lock was in the mind of the
defendant and nowhere else and that the
sole question was whether mans mind
was subject to a mortgage or bill of sale.
Strange to say, the attorney for the
prosecution admitted that this was the
decisive point, and the justice of course
dismissed the. suit.

The DESTROYER Of the Vines.

The Phylloxera is very minute in
sect, measuring, when fully grown, not
more than 1881 of an inch in length.
Its most striking feature is its proboscis,
which lies in sort of groove on the
under side of the insect, and with which
it pierces the roots on which it feeds.
This proboscis is very slender, and ap-
pears to be formed OF three tongues, a
greater one in the middle, and two, more
slender and shorter, on the two sides of
it it resembles IL brown thread bending
round and inserting itself in the tissue.
The base of the proboscis is sort of flat
and sharp-pointed blade, composed Of
brown parts which prolong themselves
into the tongues. The animal raises
this blade little in applying its pro-
boscis to its food. The length of the
sucker is equal to about half that of the
body of the phylloxera, which does not
bury more than half of it in the bark of
the roots. By this sucker the insect
fixes itself to the spot which it has
chosen, so that it can be made to turn
upon it as on pivot. In color the phyl-
loxera, during the summer at least, is
yellow, but in the late autumn it turns to
u copper-brown tint, which lasts through
the winter. The active life of the phyl-
loxera lasts from the beginning of April
till the latter half of October. The in
sect hibernates through the other
months, though previous to the COM
mencement of Information the females
who have laid eggs during the past sea-
son die off, leaving only young insects,
which, as we have said, turn to copper
brown color at this period, renewing
their light yellow tint in the spring. The
phylloxeras do not increase much in
numbers during the months of April and
May, but an extensive reproduction Of
the insect is clearly marked in June and
July, while it assumes prodigious pro-
portions in August and September, in
the latter months often covering the
root-shoots in a continuous mass, so as
to make them appear completely yellow
with their bodies.
