to an uncertain day. That this course would
bc taken was easy to forcsoc from the polit-
teal composition Of the committee, and from
the circumstances that have arisen since tIic
adjournment of the Senate in March, when
Mr.. MoRrON's report in favor Of KLLLoGG
was really postponed at HAYES request,
and to remove an impeachment from the way
of what is called his policy.
Tho majority OF the Senate have come TO-

from that which existed seven months ago.
They were dissatisfied In March with the
construction of the Cabinet. and with the
indications Of IIAYHs's design e. abandon
the Republican position. Now they are
in open revolt and IN the main defiant ti-
ward the Fraudulent Administration. The
external forms of intercourse that are main

the senate and the White House. are mostly
ccrcmonious. Others do not 20 near it at

II is natural that the Republicans should

existing strength. In similarposition, the
Democrats would adopt the like tactic-. No
party is virtuou~ enough to sacrifice power
while it can bc maintained with any show
of plausibility Therefore, the Democratic
claimants to the two seats from Louisiana
arc not likely to occupy them for some time

Capture of Famous Brigands.

\ Writing Of Sicily, says correspondent,
reminds me Of the capture of the A1fani
brothers, two famous brigands, who were
arrested in Palermo on Easter Sunday.
The two brothers, who have been for some
time the terror of the Sicilian prov
inces, and on whose head was set price
of 81 900 each, ventured into the city to
pass the day with some comrades and
friends. Although perfectly disguised,
and surrounded by trusty friends, the
police in some mysterious way discovered
that the brigands were in Palermo, and
an ingenious plan was laid to capture
them. Two police agents disguised them
selves as peasants out for holiday, and
strolled about the city until they got near
the house in which the brigands were
feasting with their friends. When with
in ear-shot the pretended peasants began
to quarrel. Words ran high, and the two
made such noise that the brigands came
to the window to see what was the mat
ter. They saw, as they supposed, two
peasants quarreling, and, enjoying the
sight, the brigands stayed to look on. At
last the pretended row reached such a
pitch that one of the disputants drew q
revolver, upon which the other ran away,
and the brigand's house being the near
est refuge, he ran directly into the door

lowing in hot pursuit. Meantime anoth-

While the noise outside was going on, the
house had been gradually and quietly sur
rounded by the police, all in plain dress,
however, and all more or less concealed,
except two, who, at given signal, sud

4 Trihing Mistake.


In the House Of Peers, during the ex-
animation of the magistrates of Edin-
burgh, touching the particulars of the
Porteous mob, in 1886, the Duke of New
Castle having asked the provost with
what kind of shot the town guard, COM
'manded by Porteous, had loaded their
muskets, received the unexpected reply:
sou, just sic as ane shoots dukes and
fools WIZ The answer was considered
as a contempt of the House of Lords. and
the poor provost would have suffered from
misconception of his patois, had not the
Duke Of Argyle (who must have been ex-
ceedingly amused) explained that the
worthy chief magistrates expression when
rendered into English, meant to describe
the shot used for ducks and water fowl.

Life Rescue.

The true plan to follow, when safety is
the call, is to swim with everything below
the chin we'll down under water, the head
we'll back and resting centrally on the
Floating power of the lungs. But what
will you do when your companion is tired
out and drowning? That depends. If
he is cool and reliable, get in front of
him, let him get his hand on your hips
(not on your shoulders, and you can carry
him quite distance. That supposes that
both parties, rescued and rescuer, under
stand fair play. The weaker party is the
one that ought to drown, if he shows any
disposition to drown his friend by mis-
cradle, cowardly death-clutch at the only
floating thing around him. In the case
OF the death clutch, go to the bottom with
your man and leave him there. There
may be an unpleasantwrestle, but the real
drowning man is ready to quit MS prey
when he stikes bottom. The better man
has his right to come to the surface and
swim ashore
But in a considerable swimming ex-
perience, and some rescues, there comes
one absolute rule: Never face a drown
ing man. He welcomes rescue so eagerly

take you down. The safest and best
thing to do is to get behind him, and, un-
less you are left handed, put your left
hand under his right arm pit. The lift
you give him will be enough in ordinary
water. He can be coaxed to help him
self, and if he is reasonable being you
can bring him to shore. If he is insane
with fright, recollect that you are to be
both prudent and heroic. Get away from
him, clutch his ankle with one hand and
tow him ashore. If the bank is near, he
is not likely to drown on the way. If he
does, it is not your fault. But brave
swimmer is master Of his element.

drowning comrade in way that was re-
markable for its neatness. The poor fell

feet inches, rise and fall. At Newcastle, the
waves began at S. m. and at 11:3O a. M the
harbor water fell 20 inches in four minutes
The rise is not given. After this the oscilla-
