How He DOES Ir.-Col. Phillips is again max
ing the rounds of the District. His style of
working is the same as heretofore. He never
travels alone, but always takes capper along.
In 1874 it was Mohler; in 1876 it was Wagstaff; !;
this year it is T. L. Bond-always some man
who holds an Office by bis favor. When he stops
in a town, be takes the best room in the hotel,
then sends his capper about town, to bring in
the leading men to see him. As they come in,
he tells how fatigued he is; that he has been
laboring 80 incesantly for the interests of the
District, that he is nearly worn out, and cannot
get around to zee the people as he would like
Then he tells how bright his prospects are, new
or failing to assert that those Counties are
strongly for him that are the surest to 60 against
him.
In the last two years, he has deliberately
broken his promises to those who secured his
last nomination. He has proven false to friends
who showed that they had sufficient influence to
carry him through, and has tried to make up the
loss by buying support from his former enemies.
Two years ago, L. j. Best and T. ]. Helm were
both Guthrie delegates. He has given them
Land Office positions, in order to buy them, to
the neglect of men who came to his rescue be-
fore. The result is that it is extremely doubtful
an opponent before, while he will lose at least
one-half of those that he had two years ago. As
the contest then was nip and tuck, where Mr..
Phillips sees his outcome is one of the things no
man can understand. He is a doomed man, un-
less his opponents weaken, and quarrel among
themselves.

n The State Treasurer of Missouri loaned
over half q million dollars Of State money to
certain banks, which proceeded to fail, immedi-
ately afterwards. That's the honesty and econ
omy that the Democracy are going to inaugurate.
If the Bullstia can find time, in its whining be-
cause the Cki9 gets few hundred dollars for
County printing, suppose it give few toots
about the half million dollars gobbled by the
Democratic Treasurer of Missouri.

Western Kansas, and shortly afterwards Mr.. LIE
land made the trip; then Guthrie started again,
following in the wake of Leland. We learn
from the Beloit Record, that he got into row
with the editor of the Gazette, over the proceed

got sense enough to know that he cannot make

n The half-dozen newspaper supporters OF
Gov. Anthony are in an angelic frame of mind,
and are just adding to his strength, right along,
by their unanswerable arguments. His chrome
at Ottawa calls the opponents of the Governor,
"riff-raf." The Manhattan concern calls them
'jealous plebeians." The Leavenworth Pablic
Press calls them "rebellious disorsanizers." The
Burlingame Chronicle calls them "lousy politi-
cal rodents" If they keep on at this rate, the
Governor will be re-nominated by acclamation.

not submit to becoming tributary TO Elder Mitch

GETTING AT 1.-THE editor of the Wathens
Mirror says he is she man whom the Hiawatha
Dispatch alludes to, as the Sabetha editor who
got on a drunk with Col. Phillips, and whom
Phillips gave the slO0 bill, which was returned +.
He says the editor of the Dispatch lies; that
nothing of the kind ever occurred, and he never
told any such story. Yet we think there must
have been some foundation for the stories of
Phillips bribery. We remember that it was
currently reported, four years ago, that Phillips
interviewed the editor of paper at Wathena; !;
the editor was dead broke, on the morning of
that day; but after Phillips visit, he was flush,
and paid off little debts; that he was promised
the Wathena post-office, but Phillips went back
on the promise, as in SO many other cases. Ger
tain it is, that subsequently, that editor has been
o most bitter enemy of Phillips.

Sea Beans,

Quite an important industry, says the
Scientific American, Of New York, has
lately sprung up in Florida in the pre-
paration and as watch charms
sleeve buttons, ear drops, etc, what are
smmonly known as Florida sea beans.
At st. Augustine the United State gov
eminent has sea factory, where a large
number Of Indian prisoners are employed
polishing these pretty and curious pro-
ducts-of the sea, it is popularity sup
posed. -.
lean get no clew to their origin, "
said an intelligent Florida tourist the
other day. "They are said to come
from the sea. Do they grow there ?" An
other gentleman, who had been con-
nected with a popular winter resort in
Nassau, was quite positive that they
we're marine product. The encyclo-
pedias are silent with regard to them.
Tourists and tourists books. and SINH
lar sources of information fail to explain
their origin. They are for sale in all
the fancy stores and notion shops, and
at all the street corners by curbstone
dealers in cheap iewelry. Everybody
knows what they are, but all that is
popularity known about their origin is
that they are picked up along the Flori-
da beaches after storms, and that large
quantities of them arc brought from the
Bahamas, where they are likewise
washed up from the sea.
On splitting one open it was at once
apparent that it could not have grown
in the sea (; no marine plant bears dicO-
tyledUnous seeds. 1t was clearly bean
of some sort, and if they did not grow
along the beaches where or near where
they are picked up, they must have
grown elsewhere, and possibly may have
been Aoated by the gulf stream from the
South. Thither we sought for them ;
and to save other inquirers the labor of
identifying them we will say that after
much research we were able to trace
them to their native soil.
They are we'll known in the West
Indies, where they are variously called
from their appearance OK eyes and ASS
eyes. The earliest description of them,
and the tree which bears them appears
in the second volume of the Natural
History of jamaica" by Hans Sloane.
The tree was found by him abundantly
on low ground "by the rivers side I'M
der the town and on the Red Hills very
plentifully." His description Of the
tree, which he calls Cytissus GrbOreus,
is quaint enough "This tree has
several trunks, each as big as ones leg,
rising together, covered with smooth
cinnamon colored bark, straight, eight
or nine feet high, the branches rising
upright, all round about beset with
leaves coming out at an inch's interval,
three always together, all taking their
origin at the end of an inch-long, green,
common footstalk, and so on to the end
without stop.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.
Senate.

The Senate bill to form the Territory OF Lin
coin out of part of the Territories Of Dakota,
Wyoming and Montana was discussed and laid
aside. The Senate resumed consideration of
the bill making appropriation for detecting
uaspass on public lands and for bringing into
market public lands in certain States, land for
other purposes, the pending question being on
the amendment of Mr.. Beck to that of the
committee on appropriations, prohibiting the
use of money to collect any charge for wood or
timber cut on the public lands in the Territor-
les of the United States for the use of actua
settlers in the Territories, and not for export,
SO as to provide that the timber shall not be
exported from the Territory where it grew and
provided further, that in the event it shall be
exported from the Territory it shall be liable
to seizure by the United States authorii les
wherever found. Secretary Schurz was de-
nouncod by Mr.. Spencer, Of Alabama, and by
Mr.. Jones, Of Florida, for ordering the seizure
Of timber and was defended by Mr. Matthews,
of Ohio. Adjourned without action.
The bill authorizing the employment Of tenn
porary clerks in the treasury department, and
| providing for the punishment of timber land
trespassers, was taken up and after long dis
CUSTOM was passed. The Senate went into ex-
ecutive session and then adjourned.
The Consular and Diplomatic appropriation
bill was reported in the Senate, with amend
ments. Mr.. Wallace submitted an amend
ment to the bill to repeal the resumption act
making greenbacks legal tender for all debts,
public and private, and providing the exchange
of six per cent. bonds, held by banking associa-
tions desiring to increase their circulation for
legal-tender notes at par, and the cancellation
of such bonds as part Of the sinking fund
Mr.. Howe, of Wisconsin, called up the resolu-
ton relating to the defalcation OF Judge Whit
taker, of Louisiana, and made speech ar
raigning the policy Of the Administration.
He spoke for three hours in criticism OF Presi-
dent Hayes policy Of Cancellation toward the
South and the civil service practice Of the Ad-
ministration, charged that the President had
abandoned his duty toward Louisiana, and re-
viewed the political career of Mr.. Schurz,
attacking that officer. After an executive ses-
sion the Senate adjourned.
Mr.. Blaine moved to refer the correspondence
recently submitted relating to the third COM
missioner on the Canadian fisheries, to the
committee ion foreign relations, and spoke of
the injustice of the award and argued that the
decision WAS illegal, the commission not being
unanimous. Referred. !. The House joint reso-
luton extending the time for paying the
, taxes on whisky was passed without amend
ment. The bill for therepea of the
bankrupt law was reported back from

, calendar. The Pacific railroad sinking fund

The Milling Business.

Our milling industry, the american
Miller maintains, ranks next to that of
iron. The number of mills is over 25,-
900, affording employment for more
than 10000 men, whose annual wages
are about 800, 100000, and turning out
yearly 100000 barrels of flour, of
which 1000, 900 barrels are exported to
foreign countries. Pennsylvania has the
most mills, nearly 5000; NewYork stands
next with about 1900, and other States
follow with from 700 to less than 100.
Minnesota's mills are largest, and en-
ploy the greatest average number Of
men, namely, five in each.
