The prisoner was hard working woman,

found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Justice

Chicago, Jan. 25.-An Inter Ocean
Washington special says that the de-
bate over the admission of Colorado
develops much strong opposition, al
though of the twenty-five Senators
present over half were in favor of
admission. The subject win come up
tomorrow, but the chances of an
enabling act being reported are not
very good.
Nashville specials say that there is
intense excitement there over the Sen
atorial situation. 1t appears that the
president of the joint conventions is a
strong anti-Johnson man, and his for
chile adjournment OF the convention
was to give Browns supporters time
to log roll, as 1t was believed that If
another ballot was taken to-day that
johnson would certainly be elected.
Among other rumors it is stated that
$500. 900 arrived from New York to-day
to be used against Johnson. Johnsou's
friends claim that he will be elected on
the first ballot tomorrow.
The Times Madison, Wis, special
says that the opposition Senatorial
caucus tonight, consisting of fifty
members, unanimously nominated Gen
Edw. S. Bragg, of Fond du Lac.

WASHINGTON.

Washington, January 25.-The Ap-
propriation Committee completed the
post-office appropriation bill to-day,
and gave $500, 900 to the Pacific Mail
Co. for the China service, but made
no provision for extra subsidy.
About half-past twelve o'clock this
afternoon fire broke out in the up
per story of the Navy Department
building and for sometime burned
tiercely, but is now apparently un-
der control. The upper rnoms were
generally filleI with records, the
greater part of which were saved.
2 O'Clock p m.-Fire still burning
in the Navy Department building,
but il is believed now that the flames
are confined to the upper rooms
where they originated. No life was
lost as was feared earlier, though
some employees and officers of the
Navy on duty in the building were
in danger of suffocalion while at
tempting the removal of valuable
records. The upper floors are now
completely flooded with water and
many records are seriously damaged.
Nearly all the Bureau officers and
Chiefs of Divisions have made prep-
arations for removing the books and
records from their offices in event of
the spread of the flames.
Later-The flames are now entirely
under control.
Irwin, before the Wavs and Means
committee to-day, corrected the error
which he made in regard to the amount
paid to Whiting. Whiting at first de-
manded 100000 and received check
for that sum, but finally compromised
on So, 900 and returned S35, 900. Wit
ness himself selected and employed
Schumaker, who fixed the amount of
his fee, which, however, was wholly
contingent on success. He did not
think Schumaker's charge unreason-
able, as he had himself been offered
S1OO,000 for similar services and de
clined, and thought that if he, witness,
was worth that Schumacher was worth
what he got.
The Secretary of the Treasury this
evening sent to the Ways and Means
committee tabulated statements show
ing the increased amount OF revenue
obtainable from replacing the duty on
tea and coffee and repeating the. ten
per cent. reduction on certain articles
in the tariff bill of 1872, and by impo-
sing duties on number of articles
now on the free list. He also trans
mitted to the committee similar statis-

Brown was then renominated amidst

was Withdrawn Immediately after the

the signal for renewed cheers and ap-

The President of the convention then
declared the convention adjourned and
ordered the Senators to repair to their
chamber. The House was then called
to order and adjourned till ten o'clock
tomorrow The general opinion is
that the race is narrowed TO Brown
and johnson and will be decided on

SPECIFIC RECIPES.

simple remedy for removing freckles is
pint OF sour milk and a small quantity of
horse radsb. Let the mixture stand over
night, AID use IL Is wash three times day
until the ireckles disappear.
To remove fiy-specks.-Boil some onion
skins, and use the water in which they are
boiled TO wash off the fy-specks. 1t will
save more than half the labor, particularly
on holdings and other uneven surfaces.
To BAKE RHUBARB.-The best way for
cooking this delicious substitute for fruit is
to bake il. Cut up the stalks into
a pie dish OF nice white or yellow
earthen ware. sprinkle sugar over it,
cover it with plate, set it in the
oven and bake fifteen or twenty minutes,
just long enough TO be tender and retain its
fresh green color, like apples. It is an ex-
cellent supper dish TO eat with bread and
butter or cream.
To ExrISGUIsH KEROSENE FLAMEs.-One
of the most ready means is to throw cloth
OF some kind over the flames, and thus
stihe them; but as the cloth is not always
convenient TO the kitchen, where such
accidents are most likely TO occur, some one
commended -four as a substitute, which it
is said, promptly extinguishes the nsmes.
II rapidly sbsorbs the fluid, desdens the
flames, and can be readily gathered up and
thrown out Of doors when the ire is ex-
tinguisheG.
FIXES fro DESTROY The only thing that
keeps down the plague of dies is to shut up
the room Tor an hour or two, when the flies
will generally fly to the window; then, with
small bellows full Of insect powder, care
fully dust every accessible place In short
time the fles become torpid. and may be

reduces, though nothing will entirely get

salt fed to hogs for fifty years and in the

CIDER MAKrNa.-It may be adding insult
to injury to lecture about making cider
when there are no apples. But the follow
ing remarks from the Schoharie N. y. Re-
publican may do we'll for the next year:
There never has been sufficient attention
given to the manufacture and preservation
OF the Juice of the apple. Individual in
stances there are which might be hunted up
showing how good, pure cider has been made
and preserved for a length OF time. But
those instances are few and not known TO
the mass OF farmers who have orchards and
annually make few barrels of cider. The
manufacture of cider and how to preserve 1t
so as to be an acceptable beverage, should be-
come one of the Industries OF the country.
Our American cider, when carefully made,
is a beverage far preferable to the cheap red
and white wines OF France aud Germany.
From time to time our agricultural journals
have given instructions and related iDdi-
vidual experiments in cider making, and
these have often been copied in the country
press: some of which were
good and much ought
never to have received the dignity OF printed
matter. The American Institute, state fairs
and county fairs might well off5r premiums
covering the subject.
