the Government without any legal or cqui-
table right whatever.
VT is established that those Republican
managers had conspilcd to do this through
tho usurpation, by the President of the SEN
nto, If the power to pass upon the electoral
votes by virtue Of his own alleged authority
alone, without allowing either Senators
or Representatives to object at any
stage OF the proceedings, or 10 call him to
account for his action. That this was their
design is certain not only from the universal
avOwal Of Republican press and politicians,
but also from the fact that most II the de-
bates wcro devoted TO ovcrthrowing and an
initiating this pretended power Vi the
President Of the Senate.
VI 1t is established, finally that the con-
spirators had arranged and determined to
employ military force TO carry out their
programme. or else tho project of counting
in HAYES by the Senate only would not
have been thing for anybody to he afraid
Of. To this contamination President
GRANT was pledged. For this purpose
he had brought troops TO Washington from
distant posts. This design he has clearly
announced on several occasions, and it has
been boldly expressed in the National Re
publican newspaper, tho party organ at
Washington. This design and the military
preparation formed the only real, substan-
tal element in the Republican case.
VII This conspiracy has now been decided
ly checked. The pretended power Of the Plesi-
dent Of the Senate has been exploded and
rendered ridiculous. Tho conspiracy to de-
clare HAYES elected by the frauds u the
Florida and Louisiana Returning Boards has
been defeated for the present at least and
the scheme Of using military force to put
down the House Of representatives in a rev
dictionary manner, has been anticipated and
stopped; and hence all the public satisiac-
ton over the passage Of the bill.
VlII.-All these things have boon done,
declared and established 10y majority Of
more than twO-thirds Of each House Of Con-
gross.
What mavb c the future development in
the working Of tho arbitration act, time
alone can show. But these present results
from the debates and votes u Congress are
positive and ndisputable.

President Grant and sold Jane"

1t is one of the purest pleasures of
great men to revisit the humble friends
of their childhood who have not chang
ed, and who never fatter.
Ex-President Grant, just before start
ing to Europe, in company with Com
modore Ammen, paid visit to George
town, Ohio. This town is the birthplace
of the latter, and the home of the
former, from the age of one year to
seventeen-the time of his departure
to West Point. After visiting the many
points of interest, reviving the recollec-
tons of schoolboy days, they, in com
pany with all old friend, called to see
two of their old townsmen, called "Old
Jane and Polly" where occurred the
following:
"Jane, this is President Grant"
"What did you say?"
"This is President Grant-President
of the United States"
who? Lys Grant? Laws, how
you've growed?"
And this is Commodore Ammen."
" Laws, is that Dan Ammen."
The two old maids were ten dollars
better off than before the visit, and from
the dual laugh which followed the in
PRODUCTION, the Commodore and Ex-
President were more highly delighted
than they ever were at any of the State
receptions given at Washington.

AYLEBURY DUCKs.-This handsome

Buckinghamshire, England, and has

even longer than the oldest inhabitant
can remember. No variety of ducks
Is so extensively reared throughout
Europe, and they are rapidly finding
their way to the poultry yards of this
country. No variety of ducks is so
easily acclimated, and is sure to thrive
where others could not succeed at all.
The Aylesbury ducks are wonderfully
hardy, large, and noted for their wonder
full development to maturity. For
some unexplained reason, (even when
carefully fed on the regular food. J the
eggs vary greatly III color; some being
white while others will be bright
green or cream color. 1t is thought bv
some that the sex of the progeny has
something to do with the color of the
eggs: but such Is not the case Enor-
NOUS traffic in these ducks annually
occurs in the vicinity of London; the
bulk of the rearing being done by cot
tagers," many of whom make this their
special business. From this immediate

is returned for this breed of ducks. 1t
Is novel sight to visit the cottage of
these " duckers." as they are called in
the height of the season." for the
young ducklings have possession of
every room in the house, neither the
kithen nor bed room escaping. Rarely,
if ever, do they leave the house until
carried out to market, which is from six
to eight weeks. They are not allowed
to go into water The food for the
young is, at first, hard boiled eggs,
finely chopped, mixed with boiled rice,
which is given several times a day, and
is followed by barley meal and tallow
greaves, mixed with the water in which
the latter was boiled. II this country
coarse ground meal (corn) scalded
answers the place Of barley. Ducks,
not reared for market, are raised in the
usual hardy manner. They are pure
white, and, with ordinary care only,
should weigh, at twelve months old,
thirteen to fifteen pounds the pair.
Ducks not intended for market pur-
poses should have access to water, after
six weeks old, at their pleasure.-Ameri-
can Farmer.

Lucretia put out her hand with an
imperative gesture

"Then you will say Yes ?" broke in
the eager lover. You will be my

Lucretia flushed so that her pretty

A False Alarm.

A large congregation had assembled
to hear n stranger of some nOtOriety.
Soon after he had introduced his sub
ject, the cry of g fire fire! fire." in the
street very much disturbed the congrega-
ton, and many were about to retire,
when an elderly lay brother rose and
said:
eff the congregation will be composed,
will step out and see if there is any
fire near, and report"
The congregation became composed,
and the midister proceeded Taking
advantage of the occurrence, he called
attention to fire that would consume
the world!-a fire that would burn for
ever in the lake that is bottomless!- and
had just concluded Il sentence of terrible
import, and not without manifest i'm
preston on his audience, when a voice
from the other end of the church, as if
in flat denial of all he had said, bawled
out:
CTS q false alarm"
The effect was ludicrous in the eX-
IRENE. The old man returned; but the
inopportune response spoiled the force
of the eloquent appeal from the pulpit,
and even the preacher could scarce re-
frain from joining in the universal smile
that passed over the congregation.

liquor whenever they wish to DO some
