CONGREGATIONAL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-SENATE.-Reso
1utions of the Pennsylvania Legislature
favofing the Improvement Of the Ohio
River, referred. The following substi-
.tsite TO the resolution to repeal the 22d
Joint rule was offered by Mr.. Morton /:

RtiYe vote OF the two houses"
HOUSE.-C0nsiderabl excitement was
caused by Mr.. Brown, of Kentucky, in a
speech On the Civil Rights bill, and re-
ferring to those who mad framed it he
said, stIn Scotland, years ago, there was
q man whose trade was murder, and he
Earned his livelihood by selling the
bodies Of his victims for gold. He linked
hfs name to his crime, and to-day
throughout the world it is known as
Burking.'" IL,
The Speaker-Does the Chair under
stand the gentleman to be referring to
thfs language to member of the House2
Il, Mr.. Br0wn-No, sir; / am describing a
character who is In my minds eye.
The Speaker-The Chair understood
the gentleman to refer to q member Of
the House.
Mr.. Brown--No, sir; / call no names.
This mans name was linked 10 his crimes,
Ind to-day throughout the world it is
known as "Burking." I'll was to desire
TO express all that was pusillanimous in
war, inhuman in peace, forbidding in
morals, and infamous in politics, 1 should
call it Butlerizing.
1t was claimed by the Speaker and the
members that Mr.. Brown had prevari-
GATED in stating that he did not refer to a
member of the House, and by vote of 161
to 70 he was ordered reprimanded by the
Speaker which was done. Mr.. Scotield
from the Committee on Naval Affairs,
made unanimous report acquitting MIR.

port was agreed to.

Defects in OhiO's Educational System.

A very interesting ana valuable table
is given among the Ohio statistics of the
number OF pupils engaged in each study.
1t is the only instance of the kind we
have met with, and should, we think, be
initiated by all the other States; for, bet
ter than any ything else, this would afford
an accurate idea Of the education which
is'being given to the youth Oh this coun-
try. We wish we could enlarge upon 1t,
but our space will not permit. Suffice it
to say that out OF 505,7O9 children who
study reading, 49,, 423 study arithmetic,
200, ,260 study geography, 14S,542 study
English grammar, 123,812 study singing,
"a, ,4l5 study drawing, 1904 study map
drawing { y while but 1904 study Uni
ted States history, and only 449 general
historyl Truly, q cheering prospect for
the political intelligence and patriotism
of universal suffrage countryl The
classics and the natural sciences are al
most equally nowhere.
In short. the only hopeful sign on the
list we find to be that IL, 0S6 study Ger
man, and but 223 French. The State Su-
perintendent has o thoughtful essay
upon what is the education the, State
should permit in order most to benefit
society and the individual. Unfortu-
nately, he ends his answer by saying
tnat his 'propOsed curriculum OF studies
will not and can not be pursued by most
of those who attend our public schools,
but it formulates the minimum of ac-
quirement which every conscientious
teacher should seek to Obtain;" and so
the question Of what the masses should
learn is left as much in the dark as ever.
1t may be remarked, however, that not
even for the teacher Gees this superln-
tendent propose any knowledge Of his
tory other than that Of the United States.
In Ohio expulsion can only take effect
during one term, and no textbook is
changed for three years after adoption.
The number OF pupils in private schoo 8
in Ohio decreased in 1878 over three
eighths, and this, In our opinion, is as it
should be. With the mighty resources
of q whole State behind them, the public
schools should be so superior that pri-
vate schools could not compete with
them. On the other hand, unless the
public school system IS enlightened and
flexible enough to adapt itself to individ-
ual & IT'S and tendencies, it must become
a fearful Procrustean bed Tor the youth
ful intellect, and national mediocrity
must be its inevitable result.-Atlanrlc

The Street Cars.

One of the aDOminations OF city life Is
the street car, which at the same time
that it has made it possible for people to
inhabit parts of The city previously inac-
cessible by reason of their distance has
compelled them to secure the slight ad-
vantage OF their journey thither at the
terrible expense of vitality implied in
the necessity of passing from one to two
hours day in this most Infamous Of ve-
hicles. With its tediousness, its crowd,
it's irresplrable atmosphere, its cold in
winter and its sutf0catiOn in summer
its draught OF polar temperature sent in
from the front door which the conductor
holds open at his pleasure, and the ar
ray of forty-eight frozen feet under the
benches-the real source of how many
cases of pneumonia and bronchitis, who
can tell?--With all these horrors the peo-
pie are sufficiently familiar; and now,
apparently, another is to be added to the
number. DR.. j. z. Garrish, one of our
city physicians Of g00d repute, has given
publicity to the opinion that these We
hicles are among the efficient causes of
the spread and continuance of diphthe-
ria. However doubtful may be the prob
lem as to the epidemic character OF this
disease, there Is no doubt whatever that
il Is distinctly contagious, and that its

throat Of an affected person to excite the
disease in the throat of another person
hitherto well or perhaps disposed TO the
malady by a depressed condition of his
system. DR.. Valleix was cauterizing
the throat of patient affected with
diphtheria. The contact OF the caustic
excited a sudden cough, by which some
mucus from the patients throat was
thrown upon the doctors face and even
into his mouth. Within short time
diphtheritic SYMPTOMS manifested
themselves, and in few days the
doctor died of that disease; and the
whole profession in Paris felt satisfied
that the disease was communicated by
the contart of saliva. Imagine, then,
from twenty to thirty persons packed in
a vehicle of such dimensions that it can
not hold enough OF pure air for the
healthy respiration OF five persons, the
larger number Of them remaining there
from thirty minutes to an hour. A one
end or the other doors are opened sutti.-
ciently to make every one uncomfortable,
but never in q such way, as TO change
the air or ventilate the vehicle. In fact,
the air is rebathed over and over again.,
All these people, who would be daintily
squeamgsh over their food and would
not in any circumstances swallow dirty
water, are taking in dirty air; air in
the filthiest conceivable condition OF
contamination; air that has been into the
lungs OF every other person in the car;
il any person in the car has a contagious
disease in his throat, air that almost
necessarily carries the germs Of that di-
sease. This is the picture that the peo-
pie have to contemplate as one of the
new glories of the beautiful street car
system.-N. Y. Herald.

Swine Breeding,

The breeder seeks first for animals of good
form and good constitution; he looks next
to the pedigree-which of their breeds he
shall select may depend upon many circum-
stances, and his taste. For myself | chose
Berkshire ana have seen no good cause to
regret my choice. l find them hardy, OF
good form. good mothers yielding excellent
meat, and having excellent oial. They ma
ture early, and are large enouhh for shipping
With those who seek larger hogs, Poland
Cninas are the favorites, while the pure
black, oily little Essex on the one hand and
the.mammoth white Yorkshire on the other
have their advocates. Each man must exam
inc and decide for himself. / only suggest
that thoroughbreds should in all cases be
chosen, aud only from well known and re.
sponsible breeders can one buy with any de-
gree Of surety Of receiving that for which he
50 Literally makes payment. Begin with
thoroughbreds, and then keep strictly within
the breed. Only thus can satisfactory re,
suits be counted on with certainty. Mixed
breeds show the traitss and forms of all theil
aacessors. They will be very uneven IL
their breeding, Keep strictly within til,
breed, but not couple near relations. Thi:
advice is founded upon the following prin.

have the same excellencies and its defects
Br coupling such relations, both exellencie:
and defects are aggregated and intensified

the Agricultural Department, having
made inquiries as to the cost of raising horses
in each oithe various states, reports as fol-
lows IN the Middle States, the maximum
cost Of wlntering horses is $48 per head in
New jersey; next in order stands Deleware,
$43; New York, S37 and Pennsylvania, S36.
Deleware farmers, last year, recefyed the
highest average price for hay, $50 per ton;
and those OF New York the lowest, Si3,lO
New York received the maximum price for
corn, ninety-three cents per bushel; and Del
aware the minimum, seventy cents. The
price ofoats ranged from iity-two cents il
Delaware, to sixty in New Jersey. Aver
ages of Eastern States were as follows: Maine,
s27 New Hampshire, S37 Vermont, S59 !;
Massachusetts, $45 Rhode Island, s4o ;
Connecticut, Si5.
West of the Mississippi, the average cost Of
wintering ranges from 50 in Kansas, to S2o
in Minnesota. Iowa averaged SlG Missouri,
Sl2; and Nebraska, Sl3. Farm prices olhay
vary from $3.50 in Kansas, to $l2O5 in Ms
souri,. The cheaper hay of Kansas and
Nebraska is mostly made from the wild
grasses of the prairies. Corn ranges from
forty-three cents per bushel in Iowa, to fifty

Mr.. Orcutt, who contributes some exec
lent items to the Hartford Courier thus de.
scribes his method of treating heifers and
their first calves:
Our position in regard to sucking calves
upon young heifers-their first one or two
calves says that this natural action en-
courages the mothers in giving milk. The
idea may seem novel to some, and then there
is difference in heifers. Some are more
'foolish" and sentimental concerning their
offspring than others. In breaking a heif-
er to milk, am apt to mix in with her calf q
good deal, endeayoring to associate myself
in the minds of both as a familiar object, so
that my little stripping passes as matter OF
course among new and bewildering circum-
stances. AS in times of general excitement
shrewd managers are very likely to be found
stripping the public purse. Barring the
opinions that may obtain with the selfish
and short-sighted against the policy of de-
veloping the lacteal secretions in this natural
manner-by allowing heifer to "fuss around
with young calf'-the plan must look
quite reasonable 1t is certainly atime hon
ored practice among careful farmers, and a
good deal % observation and some exper-
ience will warrent me in asserting that ear
ly indul gence in the cares of maternity is no
detrment to the future productiveness ofthe
grown-up COW. Shrewd -buyers--milk-
men and Others, go a picking among the
stock that has been bred ane fed in the PLAN
est normal farm fashion, preferring to add
the extreme themselvei, After three or four
years fage, when the milking habit is form
. ed, calves may be "deaconed" with less feel
ing on the part oft mother. She is used
to the hand of man and becomes by habit
reconciled to her lot. Your old COW is not a
romantic or sentimental animal. ] made a
visit lately to our eldest COW, Clover, sold
last spring. She woulden't even look at me,
or scarcely stop gathering grass long enough
to smell of my hand when lifted her head
by the horn, This may not be precisely
like refusing to look at her calf, but if you
knew the intimacy formerly existing between
us, you'd allow it was somewhat like. But
this animal never showed mnch affection for
her calves at any time

Agricultural.


The only objection 20 ijhl-powjug is that
occasionally hcoyy rains pack the soil,
whereby much of the benefit of alternate
freezing and thawing is lost. This can be
ramedied by drilling in one bushel of rye
per acre ate in the fail Rye is better than
wheat .Ais purpose, as 1t is less expensive,
and, owing TO smaller grains, one bushol of
rye is equal in seeding to Il bushcl and a
halfof wheat. Besides, rye grows stronger
than whcat. is less liable to wintcr-kill, and
it's matted growth makes better protection
t. tn soil from washing or packing by rains
or shows.
Farmers have noticed that where winter
killed wheat is plowol and sowed withspring
grain the crop is nearly always excellent.
This shows the advantage of fall-plowins
combined with some protection to the sur
face. But it does not pay to have crop
o'wheat thus destroyed while it pays to pIow
and SOW some cheapergrain that will answer
the same purpose. There is probably good
deal OF loss of ammonia from naked fields in
winter and early spring which growing
crop would save. The young rye plowed
under in April would form an excellent and
well ell-distributed coating of manure over thc
tield-much more valuable than its proba
BILE cost. Ga land d d,sgned for corn or po-
tatoes, the rye could be left to grow till the
middle of May or be pastured by COWS, O
ewes with young lambs. 1t is better tina
the ground should be left as rough as posi-
bic after the fall-sowing. Spring feed 70
cows is often scarce, and two or three acre
of young rye, intended for pasture on lan'
designed for summer crops, will be clea
gain at very trihing expense.-C0aafr

The Germans of Cincinnati cover
ed themselves with glory They
went to the polls early and voted
solidly for Hayes and honest money.
They staid and saw that other vo-
ters had fair chance. In the
heavy Democratic wards, where the
bummers aided by their Democratic
police, have been accustomed to take
charge of the polls and keep away
all but their own voters, the Ger
mans went IN and valiantly fought
where it was necessary, and aided
the native Republicans to prevent
the wholesale repeating and ballot
stufing that the Democrats had
planned. Had this not been done
the chances are that the Cincinnati
plug-uglies would have run in fraud
ulent votes enough to have placed
the result in doubt, if not actually to
defeat the Republican State ticket.
No wonder the imitation Democrats
were yesterday bowling with wrath
against the Cd id Dutch
Cincinnati and Cleveland can shake
hands. They have pulled this victo-
nv out CT the fire.

A few days ago Mr. F. K. Phoenix
wrote to Mr.. Tice, the st. Louis
weather prophet, asking him for his
opinion as to the severity of the ap-
preaching winter, and to the letter
received the following reply:
ST.. Louis, Oct. 10, 1876.
Mr.. F. K. PHoENIx-Dear Sir:
Yours of yesterday received. / have
not yet studied winter phenomena
sufficiently to answer your question
definitely as to the character of the
coming winter The storm area that
was over the American continent dur
ing all last spring and summer has
now shifted to the European CONT
nent, as all the late disturbances show.
Should it remain there, they will
have a severe winter in Europe, and
we comparatively mild and dry one
in America. The probabilities, as
far as / can now see, are that we will
have a winter of extreme and sudden
changes, but on an average rather
mild. Very respectfully,
JOHN H. TICE.
