taken up as the special order for half-past two
o'clock.
Mr. SPRAGUE Of Brandon moved that the bill
be ordered to lie to await the action OF the general
committee on the bill this morning introduced by
Mr.. Currier
The motion to order the bill to lie and the
merits of the bill itself, were discussed by Mr..
Jameson Of Irasburgh, who stated that the only
change this bill proposed in the original bill, was
toprovide that the appropriation OF $4,000 shall be
annual He said the cost Of fourteen meetings
of the board of agriculture had been only ST.
OS5. 49, and that the entire cost of the board to
the state, including the secretary's salary, had
been for 1877, 50 80; aud for 1873, 5000 o.
The printing of the report had embraced also the
report of the secretary Of the dairymen's assoca-
ton. He also gave individual expenses of some
Of the members attending some of the meetings
He opposed the motion to delay the consideration
of this bill until the hurried action of the closing
sessions Of the House,
Mr.. SPRAGUE favored delay as but just to the
mover of the bill introduced this forenoon, and
that both bills may be considered together.
The bill was then ordered to lie.

More Tilden Ciphering.

The New York Tribune gives fresh
chapter of democratic cipher dispatches
used in the last Presidential campaign, by
printing the correspondence between South
Carolina and New York. Smith NJ. Weed,
a wel-known New York politician of the
Tlden stripe, went TO Columbia to secure
the vote of South Carolina for Tilden, and
without any preliminaries began TO report
the terms on which favorable result could
be bought. His price ran up in five days
November 1919 from 100000 to $4,000.
At $4,000, he got an unsigned answer from
New York to this effect:
"Should be willing to accept, believe, II Cham
berlan and board unite to prevent trading aud
expense was made dependent on final success Of
rilden in March
To this Weed replies from Columbia on
the 18th as follows:
"Majority of board have been secure1l Cos. is
so 900 to be sent az follows One parcel of G5 900
dollars. one of 10 900 and one Of 5,000 all to be
five hundred or one Thousand bills; notes to be
deposited ms parties accept. and given up upon
vote Of land Of Hampton L e. state Of South
Carolina being given to 11lden's friends The
three packs should be sent without inscription
and tonight unless You receive telegram from
me countermanding Shall try to secure every
thing by the plan of deposit, For Gods sake, let
it 60 if you can. Do this at once, and have cash
ready to reach Baltimore Sunday night Tel.
egraph decidedly whether 1t will be done. w"
That night Weed left for Baltimore, and
on Monday he was registered at Barnums
hotel in that place. Frugal motives appar-
emily interposed to delay the funds, and as
the returning board soon dispersed to avoid
the action of the courts, the corruption fell
through. Among minor facts brought out is
the fact that Weed had no countenance from
Hampton, and that when he proposed u
leave the business in the hands of Senator
Randolph, of New Jersey most upright
man, he was warned from New York, al
doubt whether you can trust it to person
you name"
In this case the agent of corruption was
less scrupulous than in Florida, and on the
other hand the answering dispatches are not
so openly dated at Gramercy park. We
cannot, however, doubt the answers eman-
ated from there. But the responsibility for
the acceptance of these propositions of the
most damning corruption, even for time is
the vital point which intel ests the American
people, and a point which must be inves-
tigated'

A Coop FAMILY MEErING.A very pleasant

for years wholly inactive, the left seemed to be

laborious gaspng that he could breathe sufficiently
to maintain his hold on life. Mr.. Magoon is Il
man of varied experience through life, an in
dustrious, Woodworking man. and a man who in
his prime did lift barrel of cider from the floor

the other hand being behind him. Yet, at this
date, he presents very worn appearance, conse-

Return Of tn, Temperance Leader

Rev. Mr.. Allen, the temperance
lecturer, has returned again to the
city, but owing to i'll health he
will soon depart again for San
Rafael, from whence he expects to
return in about ten days, when a
grand campaign of about two or
three weeks will be commenced.
The meetings are to be held in O
tent capable of seating 5000 per-
sons. The tent will be erected in a
central locality and is expected to
cost about $1,000. 1t will afterward
be used by the National Christian
Temperance Union of the coast at
the principal watering places and
other resorts. The tour will be
closed by a musical jubilee, to be
given under the auspices of the
Good Tsmplars of Los Angeles at
the dedication of their new hall,
which is expected to be one of the
finest in the State, and will cost
$4,000. 1t will contain reading,
coffee, and rooms for harmless
games. Mr.. Allen reports that at
Visalia every county officer, from
the Judge to the Sheriff's deputy,
has donned the blue, and are to-day
earnest workers in the temperance
cause. Mr.. Allen also feels much
qualification in having secured the
signature of a lady who is q century
and two years older than himself
143 years. She is Spanish lady
named Dof1a Eulalia Perez de
CULLEN. and tho matriarch of San
Gabriel valley. She now adds de
Murphy to her Names. f. Cali.

particularly directed toward the
diaphram of the telephone, was q
very wonderful thing indeed.
Later in the evening Mr.. Reed,
who is a thorough violinist, made
his appearance in the Office of the
Western Union Company and
those gathered in Mr.. Haines's
parlor had return musical treat.
The nodus operandi consists in
inverting the telephone and hold
ing 1t within four inches of the in.
strument, whether piano or violin.
Mr.. Haines's party expressed them
selves as having been as highly en-
tertainsd as we had been.
In addition to Mr.. Strelitz's yio-
in performance, the piano was
brought into requisition in Mr..
Haines's house, with q perfectly
satisfactory result. We could en-
JOY the piano music quite as well,
and hear it quite as distinctly, as
we could the violin.
1t is perhaps we'll that we should
note a rather amusing hlunder on
the part of those who, last night,
handled the telephone for the first
time. They heard very distinct
ticking, which they supposed to
proceed from the OPERATORS table
in the next room. 1t was really
the sympathetic response of the
sensitive diaphragm of the tele-
phone to the wire which was laid
fully six inches higher than the
wire which was the medium of our
telephone advertisement.

THE TELEPHONE AGAIN.
Music This Tme-The Violin and Piano

Last night there was quite an in
terested audience at the Western
Union Telegraph Office to witness
the workings OF the telephone. The
wire was still stretched from Mr..
Hainess house to the Western
Union office. About half past
seven o'clock we looked in and
were soon EN- rapport with Mr.
Haines's family circle which, last
night, was increased by the addi-
ton Of Mr.. Strelitz, an exceedingly
clever violinist. Having put our.
selves in communication, we re-
quested Mr.. Strelitz to play the
"Marseillaise."
Very soon this grand national
hymn poured into our ear with lust
as full measure and melody as
though we had been seated in Mr..
Haines's parlor. We next de-
manded Home, Sweet Home,'
and the "Last Rose of Summer"
They were rendered perfectly. MOI

hearing, who kept one of the dia'
phragms to his ear, heard the con
