ECcENTRIcrT1Es OF THE BUFFALo.-The
winter of 1871-72 was unusually Sc
we're in Arkansas. The ponds and the
smaller streams to the north were all
frozen solid, and the Buffalo were
forced to the rivers for water. The
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road was then in process of construc-
ton, and nowhere could the Buffalo be
better studied than from its trains.
If a herd was on the north side of the
track it would stand stupidity gazing
and without symptoms of alarm,
though the locomotive passed within
a hundred yards. If on the south side
of the track, even though at distance
of one or two miles from it, the pas
sage of train set the whole herd In
the widest commotion. At its full
speed, and utterly regardless of con-
sequences, it would make for the track
in it's line of retreat. 1t the train hap
pened not to be in its path it crossed
the track, and stopped satisfied. II
the train was in the way each individ-
ual buffalo went at it with the desper-
alton of despair, plunging against or
between locomotive and car, just as
the blind madness chanced to take
them. Numbers were killed, but num-
bers still passed on to stop and stare
as soon as the obstacle was passed
After having trains ditched twice IN
one week, conductors learned to nave
a very decided respect for the idlosyn~
cracies of the buffalo, and when there
was a possibility of striking herd
ION the rampage for the north side OF
the track, the train was slowed up
and sometimes stopped entirely

w ASHINGTON, october lbtn.-lnere
has been considerable discussion late
ly about the possible course of the
electoral votes on the second Wednes-
day of February next, in case the
Presidential election should be turned
upon the counting or rejecting of one
state. The Democrats have said that
if the election should turn on accept
ing the South Carolina vote, the House
would object, and, under the twenty
second joint rule, which provides that
if either house persist in objecting to
receive the vote of any state it shall
not be received, they would prevent
it's being counted, and thus defeat the
election of Hayes by the vote of the
state. Several similar cases have
been the subject Of discussion here.
It is fact, however, though not gen.
orally known, that the For;y-fourth
Congress has not adopted any joint
rules. Each Congress enacts its own
rules. The practice has been at the
opening of each session to pass a res
olution adopting the rules of the pre-
vious Congress, and generally such
resolutions pass as matter OF course.
At the last session the House adopted
the rules, but the Senate failed to con-
cur. ard the consideration of the ques-
ton went over under objection to pre-
sent consideration by Edmunds. As
q final result the session closed with
out adopting the twenty-second rule,
which leaves the convention for count |
inc the electoral votes without rules,
except the Constitutional provision
for it's meeting, and the opening Of the
votes by the President of the Senate
and the counting Of the same. |

How PMS ARE MADE.-A snappish,
voracious little dwarf of machine
pulls the wire, bites it off by inches
necessarily, l40 bites minute, and
just as it ceases each bite a saucy lit
tie hammer with concave face hits
the end of the wire three taps and
"upsets' to a head while he grits it in
countershank hole between his teeth
and lays it sideways in groove,
where levers and springs, playing like
point the pins and drop
them into a box. The pins are then
polished. and two very intelligent ma
chimes reject every crooked pin. An
other automaton assorts half dozen
and perfect genius of a ma
chine hangs the pins by their heads
and transfers them to slips of paper
and by one movement sticks them all
through two corrugated ridges in the
paper when the work is finished. The
pin machine is one of the nearest ap-
proaches to the dexterity of the human
hand that has been invented. 1t is
about the size of sewing machine,
which it very closely resembles.

Another Millinery Opening.

Yesterday was the second day Of Mrs. Black
wells display of trimmed bonnets and hats, and
her new store was thronged with ladies. We saw
one which seemed to be admired the most. 1t
was the Martha Washington French Lace front,
with cap crown of frosted cream silk; cashmere
lace and silk gracefully twisted round the crown,
while ON top of crown rested lovely bunch OF
flowers, the same shade, consisting Of grapes, TO-
lagc, and hare bells long ties of cashmere lace,
cream silk and cardinal red in 'front.' There was
one in straw trimmed as for an aged lady; another
was very pretty-it was an ecru English Milan,
trimmed with the same shade of ribbon, flowers,
and feathers 1t would be next to impossible to
describe this beautiful bonnet the bows, rufs, and
plating are too numerous to mention. A French
chip was beautifully trimmed with cream silk, flow
ers and cashmere lace. An imported French chip
was trimmed with blue frosted silk, soft pink
flowers and lace. There were great many others
equally as pretty. We must especially call atten-
ton to the window which was tastefully trimmed
with flowers, lace, silk and ribbons, large mound
of flowers with pyramid in center, flowers and
ornaments scattered all around, Iibbons lace and
silk gracefully drapcd on both sides. 80, how
beautiful" was the exclamation. The opening
continues to-day.
