with the construction given to the purpose
it involved, by Messrs. Hale and Mills. He
said in giving his decision whether the reso-
luton involved a question of privilege: "a
higher privilege than the one here involved
and broadly directed and presented, as to
the rightful occupancy Of the Executive
chair of the Government, and the connec-
ton Of high Government officials with frauds
alleged. the Chair is unable to conceive.
The Chair finds enumerated among the ques-
lions of privilege set down in the Manual
the following 'The election of the Presi-
dent The Chair therefore rules that the
preamble and resolution embrace questions
of privilege of the highest character, and
recognizes the right of the gentleman from
New York to offer the same"
This brief resume OF the history OF the
Potter movement, enforces the conclusion
that the original purpose was to assail the
title of the President, and whatever change

the country to make disclaimers now. The
record is too clear that it was a partizan
plot to attempt to displace President Hayes,
through the instrumentality OF perjured wit
to be such by themselves
and who thus exposed their own turptude
because of disappointment in not receiving
political favor.

A New Use for Rifles in Warfare

A new use for the rife in warfare
has been suggested by the experience
gathered in the late campaign in Tur-
key-namely, it's application to vertical
letter to the Times from Bucharest) that
numbers of Russian soldiers were struck
by the Turkish balls, when under the
old conditions of fighting they might
have been considered safe, being not
only far beyond the usual range, but
actually concealed by elevations of the
ground, and ever hills lying between
them and their opponents.
A remarkable instance of this &C.
Cured at the Schipka Pass, when Cen
eral DragomirofT was wounded in the
knee'by a bullet, Notwithstanding that
the mountain intervened-the Turkish
bullet rose high in the air, passed over
the summit, and came down on the
other side as it fell. Some of the Rus
sian rank and file we're hit in like man
ner at the same place. The writer sug-
gests the question whether it might not
be possible to devise a regular system
of vertical or dropping fire to reach the
enemy when quite out of sight, hidden
behind a wood or ridge. The distance
being determined by the ordinary
range-finder, all that is necessary is a
simple instrument to indicate the cor
rect elevation which should be given to
the barrel of the rifle, and about this
there does not seem any difficulty.
1t is easy to conceive how democrat
izlng to a body of troops waiting in re.
serve-withOut the excitement of action
would be a shower of bullets from
unseen enemies dropping over the yoss,
ridge they relied on for protSsAnd.
The Calling gun appears c~apableSno
utilization in this way. There is no
reason, it seems, to fear that bullets
will lose their penetrative power at
such ranges. At two thousand yards
the bullets from the Peabody rifle used
by the Turks came with such force as
to bury themselves sixteen inches In a
hard clay soil.

The Lost Boy.

A little carving here and there-a lit
tie trimming up and cutting down
would have made a good-looking man
of him. He limped as he came out, and
he dropped m shoulder and Sided
along like a nan who had a contract TO
bring out a dozen bOils Of uncommon
size.
"What ails yer" asked the court as he
looked down Upon him.
"What ails me? Why, | ache all

"The law, sir, applies to boys as well
as men,. At one o'clock In the morning,
when the low moon was making ready
to change to her first quarter and give
us some more good weather for trans
planting horse-radish, you were found
on the stairs of the Board Of Trade
building, sleeping like a behemoth.
They had to draw you down stairs, bal
ance you on a plank, and as you were
being carried to the station your regu-
lar breathing was proof that nothing
you cared if they let you sleep in the
cell they were going to put you.
"But | didn't mean to. Judge-hon-
est Injun, | didn't"
"Ahl wild-eyed William Manning,
you can't come to our town and encum.

Trade building with your lifeless form

"I'll never cucumber 'em again,

me, Judge, l might live ten million
years and yet | wouldn't forget it.
Say, Judge, l want to leave this town!

The court regarded him with an aw-
full look, and the prisoner continued:
"The air here makes my head ache,
and | want to get out where the breezes
sweep over green hills and greener
meadows. Come, Judge don't mash
my walking prospects,"
His Honor pointed to the door.
Twas enough.
Mr.. Manning didn't wait for the
pocket comb and orange-peel which the
police took from his pockets the night
before, to prevent suicide, and when
he turned the first corner he was ten
feet ahead of the grand yell set up by
the boys.

with the explanation:
"He's a Pole, and if he isn't the
North Pole, he's in the next ~fence-cor-

"Son of down. trodden Poland, what
is your manner" asked his Honor.
He didn't say.

the court, "Kosciusco fell, and so did
you. He fell upon the field of glory,

TO be. There is no good reason for this, IL

ticism, take the advice Of druggists and your
friends, and try one bottle Of Green's August
Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions
Of bottles OF this medicine have been given
away to try its virtues, with satisfactory re-
suits in every case. You can buy a sample

lieye the worst case. Positively sold by all

The Largest ElectrOtgpe eUer Produced

Brussels, has lately completed a colossal
statue of Jan van Eyck, in bronze,
by the system Of electric deposition.
The %galvanic process occupied several
months, although a thickness of but six

probably the largest object which has
been produced by this method, being
over twelve feet in height, and is re-
garded as a much more perfect imitation
of the model than could be obtained by

AGRICULTURE.

HINTS TO FARMERS Rice Is more
largely grown aud consumed as human
food than any other cereal. IL Is said
to be the main food Of n third Of the
human race.
The most nutritive portion Of the
cabbage Is the |succulent stem above the
lower leaves; this part Of the plant
often contains notable quantities OF
sugar.
Many Of our best dairymen contend
that from the time the milk leaves the
COW, until the butter graces the table,
milk cream aud butter must be neal the
temperature Of sixty degrees.
A ton Of the grain of wheat, when
burned In the air, leaves on an average
about forty pounds of ash, Of the grain
of oats, about eighty pounds and Of oak
wood, only four or five pounds.
The inner and younger leaves Of the
cabbage contain much more water than
the old leaves outside. On the whole,
this vegetable may be considered more
nutritious than the turnip.
Seed cannot terminate without water,
but the requisite amount of this liquid
varies according TO the nature of the
germ. In the case OF agricultural plants,
termination is best effected when the
soil is moist, but not wet.
Ammonia consists Of nitrogen and
hydrogen only, in the proportion OF
fourteen parts Of the former to three
parts of the latter by weight; or seven
teen pounds of ammonia contains four
