der testimony, He has testified again.
Ill substance as he testified before.
THE utter helplessness of the present
Democratic majority, and their unmer-
ciful punishment By the trained and
alert Republican minority has been Of
ten shown during this session of Con-
gress. But not until Wednesday last
was the full measure of Democratic stu
pidity seen. With view to cut of
from the Republicans the campaign
funds everywhere raised, by all parties
through the collections made among
government employees, the Democrats
brought in bill to make the paying of
all political assessments" or the max
ing Of such demands, cause for disnis-
sal and legal punishment. But before
the bill was brought to vote the Re
publicans secured amendments to it,
which the Democrats we're forced to
support with very i'll grace, to include
Senators, Congressman and other high
officials IN the list of those who must
give up the use of money in elections,
as well as clerks and adding to the
punishable practices the intimidation
or bullying of voters at any election.
so that the bill the Democrats thought
was an artful dodge 10 cripple their
opponents in raising money for election
purposes, now turns out to be the eel
eorated Force Bill of last session, which
the Democrats so bitterly opposed, I,
with the single exception of the right
to suspend the writ of habeas corpus
The New York 7rl5une--the fercest
opponent of the Force Bill last year
now says of this act
cit looks now as if the Democrats
were completely outwlt.ed in the bill
passed by the Ho2se to prevent the
use OF money in elections. There had
been plenty of debate over it, and the
changes effected by amendments and
substitutions were at times somewhat
confusing. Perhaps when it was passed
at last the Democratic members did
not know exactly what they were voting
for, or perhaps they were too busy
with kilograms from Lancaster. Atall
events the Republicans boast that this
measure will give to the Administra-
ton nearly all the control of Southern
ele ctions that was sought last year in
the Force BILL"
If party having a majority Of 100
menbers in one Of the houses of Con- |
gress are no better able than that to
carry their measures through, of what
earthly use are they And with what
face can such a party go before the
country claiming complete grant of
power t-Harris5urg Telegraph.

instead Of using wire. Let us next attend
tothe ferns. In gathering these, carry with
you portfolio or large blank book in
which place them as soon as picked; they
wither if exposed to the light; procure as
great a variety as possible, both in size and
color; the white fern is very beautiful, and
can be found late in the season. When they
are perfectly dry, and carefully pressed
plant them in pot Of sand, and they
will look as if growing An ornamental
cover for the pot can be easily made by
means of a sheet of drawing paper and a
little paint. Select the paper of delicate
tint, pearl or cream color is pretty; cut this
the width of the pot, and on either edge
draw vine, and in the centre a more
elaborate design, birds, flowers or medals
lions; sew it up, and draw it over the pot.
If you cannot paint, paste pictures on. The
dinner table may be tastefully adorned with
the ferns for centre piece. At each
plate, OF at the corners, arrange some soli-
taire glasses resting upon bright leaves, and
holding a delicate boquet Of ferns and
leaves. These take the place Of flowers II

Of the feathers are hollow, and are made Il
the most delicate flaments interlocKing and
3clinging to one another with little graspine
hooks Of microscope fneness. Well, how
does bird fly! It seems simple enough to.
describe, and yet it is problem that the
wisest in such matters have not yet worked
out to everybody's satisfaction. This ex>
PLANTATION by the Duke Of Argyle, appears
to me to be the best: An open wing forms
hollow on its under side like an Inverted
saucer; when the wing is ssrced Down, the
upward pressure Of the air caught under
this concavity, lifts the bird up, much as
you hois: yourself up between the parable
bars in gymnasium. But he could never
in this way get ahead, and the hardest quss~
ton is still to be answered. Now, the front
edge Of the wing, formed Of the bones and
muscles Of the forearm, is rigid and un~
yielding, while the hinder margin is merely
the soft flexible ends Of the feathers; 50 when
the wing is forced down, the air under it,
finding this margin yielding the easier,
would rush out here, and, in 50 doing.
would bend up the ends Of the quilts, push<
ing them forward out of the way, which, Of
course, would tend to shove the bird ahead
