Speaker, they had been transferred to much
better room, and that they had been brought
back to the cells by order of the Sergeant-at
Arms, and that on account Of bad air in the
cells one of them, Governor Wells was now
on sick bed. 1t was inhuman to keep them
in such room, and he therefore offered a
resolution directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to
remove the prisoners to well lighted and
well ventilated room, where their health may
not be endangered.
After protracted discussion, Hale called the
previous question on the resolutions. The
Democrats voted against it, and the question
was not ordered.
Cox moved to refer the resolution to the
Louisiana Election Committee, with instruc-
tons to report Immediately whether Wells
statement was true. The resolution was re-
ferred-l45 to 49,
Morrison, Chairman of the Louisiana Com.
mite, submitted report, with a resolution
declaring that the Democratic Electors re-
ceived majority Of the votes in Louisiana,
that the canvass and compilation of the vote
by the Returning Board was without legal
authority, fraudulent and void, and that the
vote cannot be counted for Hayes and Wheel
err without confirming and approving that
fraud.
Townsend made minority report, that the
Republican Electors were elected, and that
the election was legally examined and de-
clared, in compliance with the Federal Con-
stitution.
Both reports were ordered printed and re-
committed.

Labelling Live Trout.

Numerous experiments and continued
observations, made under the auspices of
some of the practical pisciculturists be-
longing to the association, have developed
results full of interest and of much prac-
tical value. For instance, in reply t.,
queries as to the probable age of the
mammoth trout found in the Rangeley
Lakes, Professor Agassiz emphatically
declared that mo man living knew
whether these six and eight Founders
were ten or two hundred years Old" To
get some light upon this question, Mr..
Page conceived an ingenious device,
which he at once proceeded to put in ex-
ecution. Platinum wire was obtained,
cut into one and half inch lengths, flat
tened at one end, and various numbers
were stamped on the surface from to 4,
also the numbers 20, II, ~, Ia denote the
year. AS trout were captured they were
weighed, one of these tags was passed
through the skin just under the adipose
Tin and securely twisted, and then the fish
was liberated. In the course of the two
or three years named u large number of
these trout were thus labeled. Of course,
the chances that any of them would be
caught seemed enthusiastically small. yet
in 1878 one of them reported. In June
of that year, Mr.. Thomas Moran, the
artist, captured fine, vigorous trout
weighing 2lls lbs. Upon taking him from
the landing net the platinum tag flashed
in the sunlight. Upon examination, the
mark, "a-7l," was discovered, thus es-
tablishing the curious fact that this par
ticular fish had gained la lbs. in two
years.-Scribner.

The Bank of England.

Few who read of the Bank of England
have any idea of the vastness of the oper-
atoms of this greatest of the financial
institutions of the world. London is a
sort of clearing house for all civilized ma
tons, and around the Bank of England
the commercial world may be said to re-
volve. The greatest amount of deposits
in the whole of the New York banks has
rarely if ever exceeded $3.50, 900, 900
those in this one London bank have
reached more than half that sum, or
$15O,OOO,OOO. The New York Banks
loans have varied sometimes 80, 900, 600 or
$1O,OOO,OOO week in one week last May
during panic the loans by the Bank OF
England rose over $50,0O0,00 and
reached $l55, 100000, or more than half
the highest sum ever reached by the fifty
nine associated banks of New York. The
greatness of the deposits is remarkable,
especially as the bank pays no interest
on them and is surrounded by institu-
tons that do. Not another less remark
able fact is that nearly forty per cent. Of
these deposits--at one time nearly $780,
OO,OOO-was placed in the bank by
private bankers, despite the lack of in
terest. All these things show what is
the function of this vast establishment
security. So desirable is safety that the
owners of $3.50, OO0,O 900 prefer to keep itin
the banks vaults without interest, rather
than trust it elsewhere. The other function
the bank has undertaken, to control the
money market, it has failed to achieve; but
the safety it gives to funds has doubtless
contributed much to lower the rate of in
terest in London. Great care and pains are
taken to secure this safety. Every
night twenty-five soldiers of the regular
army are detailed to guard the bank; and
for directors and managers men of the
highest character are selected. The
movement of its deposits is watched
with eagerness, and it has even been said
that whenever they fall below $12O,O0O,-
600 money is pretty sure to be scarce.

Stick to Your Business.

There is nothing which should be more
frequently impressed upon the minds of
young men than the Importance of stead
lily pursuing some one business. The
frequent changing from one employment
to another is one of the most common
errors committed, and to it may be traced
more than half the failures of men in
business, and much of the discomfort and
disappointment which render life uncom-
Portable. 1t is very common thing for
man to be dissatisfied with his business,
and to desire to change it for some other
which, it seems to him, will prove more
lucrative employment; but in nine cases
out of ten it is mistake. Look round
you and you will find among your ac-
0uaintances abundant verifcation of our
assertion. There is an honest farmer who
has toiled a few years, got his farm paid
for, but does not grow rich very rapidly,
as much from lack of contentment min
gled with industry as anything, though
he is not aware OF it. He hears the Won
derful stories of California, and how for
tunes may be had for the trouble of pick
ing them up; mortgages his farm to raise
money; goes away to the land of gold,
and after many months of hard toll comes
home to commence again at the bottom
of the hill for more weary and less sue
cessful climbing up again. Mark the
men in every community who are noto-
rious for ability and equally notorious for
never getting ahead, and you will find
them to be those who never stick to one
business long, but are always forsaking
their occupation just when it begins to be
profitable. Scientific american.

occur, however, rendering the rein
