sweet Potato Vines as Food.

Our experience is TO cut sweet potato
vines when they cover the ground, leaving
about twelve inches near the root. They
are very hard to cure, but with patience it
may be done. But the very best tha; can
be done with them is to feed green, when
they make the very best feed for horses,
mules, cows or hogs. They are, thus fed,
especially fine for mich cows. After they
have been frost-bilten we think it will not
pay to save them. They may be piled up
on Il fence or any other place, where they
will ventila,e, and they will cure in from a
week 10 ten days, but generally with the
loss of the leaves. But the best time 10
feed them is when they are green.

LIQUOR WAS ABUNDANT

| in the Democratic Committee rooms, and
the House restaurant was selling poor
whisky in violation of the rules. One
drunken Democrat was haranguing in 4
maudlin wIy little knot of bys.anLers.
Members were asleep everywhere. The
Speaker was OF the opinion that another
recess would have to DC ordered until ; P.
", and had told the s.eePy President that
he might go home. Then the Chair
man OF the Conference Committee came in,
insisting that an adjournment would be
possible at !, and thai the President could
not go home. and the dictator OF the House
started page at double quick to Overtake
the President and cOHntermand the Speak
er's order. There were many vacant seats.

At 6}2 4. n, Rainey, colored Republican
of South Carolina, a member OF the Com
mittee on Enrolled Bills, rushed hurriedly
INFO the Chamber from the enrolling room
with anxious face, bearing heavy parch-
ment upon which the Sundry Civil bill
was enrolled. He was followed by Atkins
and Clymer. The Speaker extended his
hand to Rainey, and warmly congratulated
him. 1t Is a compliment to Mr.. Rainey,
and
FACT WORTHY OF NATIONAL NOTICE,
that he has been the only member Of this
important House Committee who has at
tended to his duties, and who could be re-
he'd upon or was in condition to work. Yet
the Democrats only faild by few votes to
carry motion to nnseat Rainey two days
before adjournment. At least one Demo
cratic member OF that Committee was unfit
for duty, and had besides mi-laid an i'm
portant enrolled bill. AS Rainey deposited
the bill shout went up "Rainey, you
will be worth more now than you ever were
before,p and this colored Republican, cleo
ted by large majority, whom Democrats
desired to unseat. Speaker Randall quick
ly signed the bill, and the Clerk Of the
House ran with the parchment
roll to the Senate, where il had
to be signed in open Senate and
presented TO the President for
in fifteen minutes. At 6.3g
SIMPSON, the veteran Clerk Of the Senate,
appeared at the door OF the House, breath
less, and announced that the Senate had ap-
pointed a committee to wait upon the Pres

also breathless, announced to the House the
approval BY the President Of the Sundrv
Civil bill. At 643, the House Committee
appointed TO wal, upon the President, an
nounced that he had no further business
to make. Meanwhile, the
House, in hasty intervals, was passing un-
important bills. when, as the minute-hand

well chosen words, presented the Superin-

as testimonial of their appreciation Of the
services of himself and wife in the school
the past seven months. The gift was ac-

is priced by them on account of the friendly

were spent in the work. The occasion will

bright spots scattered along the highway

New York city, the greatest metropolis of
this continent. To Mr.. Henry Reed of
the National Bank Of the State of New

Express Co., I am indebted for many court
estes and favors. They are two genial fell
lows, and spent all the time possible from
their business, in showing me sights, and
attractions of the city. Shonld they ever

New Workers as class, are a little con-

are in many respects. 1 admit that never

of New York City, and think most country
readers have looked upon it about as did
but when fellow drops down there, and

realize its dimensions.

although the ships were less in size and ap-
psarance than 1 expected to see them.
They are higher and deeper than our water
crafts but otherwise nothing so very much
different. Taking ferry and going over
to Staten Island, was enabled to see the
entrance to the Harbor from the sea.
At this island the Government has a fort

by carriages and omnibusses, crowded so
closely together, constantly, that it is next

other. Street cars and elevated roads are
not tolerated here, but in other parts Of the
city they are necessary auxiliary to the
working class, many of whom liYs from
seven to ten miles from their places of busi-

dummy engines are used, and three cars
are drawn at the rate of twelve miles an
hour. They stop every five hundred feet,

The elevated roads are fast wearing away
