WAsnlEoroS, September 20. - From
members Of both Houses Of Congress who
occasionally visit this city on their way to

foot last winter, It is learned that the gen.
eral expectation among them Is that the
coming session is to be very long, and
probably exciting The sessions immedl.

usually long, aud generally exciting. II
is considered quite probable by members
that the winter session will last until Sep

Gus blunders c5mmitted during the extra
session. The hot-heads will be kept in the
background as much as possible. The
absurd performances Of the majority dur.
ing the lale session are believed to have
mainly influenced the recent popular yer.
diets in California and Maine. Democrats
here do not conceal their disappointment
but they yet pin a great deal Of faith TO
Ohio, and II they carry that State they will
be "in spirits" again, as one OF them ex.
pressed 1t. But should Ohio elect Foster,
the Democratic Congressional majori.
ty will assemble here In an atmosphere
OF gloom. So far as can be judged by
the elections in Maine and California,
were the Congressional elections to take
place this fall, the congress would almost
entirely be lost to the Democrats. There
is feeling among Democrats here that II
they do not win the Presidential election
next year they will be out OF from con.
troll OF the Government for perhaps
twenty-five years, The election next year
Will be the Last under the old apportion.

The Solid South.

There are some things in the
solid south that will bear favorable
comparison with the "loyal north"
For instance, the solid Democratic
State of Georgia is out of debt.
there is peace and prosperity with
in her borders, and rapid advance
ment is being made by her people
in all that pertains to civilization
and enlightment. Her laws are
honestly and efficiently administer
ed, civil and religious liberty is as
firmly guaranteed as in Michigan,
and no accounts of extravaganza,
of dishonesty, of official peculation
are paraded through the columns
of the newspaper press. The ne
groes in that State appear to be
contented, very few Of them, so far
rs learned, indicating any desire
to emigrate, and in a word the
affairs, civil and social, are salts
factory. On the other hand, Penn
sylvania, a solid Republican State,
has Il bankrupt treasury, with
nearly two million dollars due, some
of it long since due, to schools and
charities, while her chief city is in
the clutches of notorious ring
which plumbers the city treasury
without stint. Her legislature is
now being investigated on charges
of bribery and corruption, by
which it was proposed in a bill in
troduced to pay the Pennsylvania
Railroad company 100000, al
legged losses occasioned by the
Pittsburg riots, and no end Of
venality is being exposed. The
regular price of a member of the
legislature is shown to be $500, and
if able to make a speech, one could
command 81, 900. In the light of
these comparisons little of the
solid south of the Georgia type
might be beneficial in Pennsylvania.
The present "solid' Republican
management of that State is
so VIGOROUSLY dishonest and inefii-
Gent that a change is Desirable

Ozone for April.

Mr.. Malvern W. Hess, says: "In
order to learn whether milk does
really sour during heavy thunder
storms. ! made several obserra-
tions which proves to me that this
opinion, so commonly held by the
dairymen, was not erroneous. My
experiments TO arrive at the cause
of the phenomena thus observed,
may be stated as follows: ! took
skinned mornings milk, filed an
endosmometer tube, 800 C. c.) intro
duced 100 C. c. pure oxygen gas.
Then by the use of an ordinary,
and a small Ruhmkorf coil, sparks
Of electricity were made to pass
through the oxygen for five min
utes.
1.-THE milk does not appear quite
as opaque, and shows a noticeable
acid reaction. On continuing the
current for five minutes in all, the
milk curdles very perceptibly and
shows a decided acid reaction. The
contents of the tube on standing
twenty minutes had reached the
consistency of ordinary 'Bonny
Clubber.'"
From the above experiments j
it will be seen that the oxygen was
converted into ozone, which we
think may be stated as the cause
for the rapid souring of milk dur
ing thunder storms.
The increased acidity is due to
the formation Of Tactic acid, and
most probably some acetic acid, by
means of the ozone. One or hott
Of these acids then cause the caseir
20 be precipitated.

that smallpox has increased in

compulsory. Not only is il claim

but that many children vacciuated

The prospect for a large crop OF
fruit in Michigan were never bet
ter at this season Of the year than
they are now. Unless some I'M
foreseen calamity should befall
them, apples, peaches. pears, cher
ries and small fruit will be abund-
ant. Reports from Indiana, Illinois
and some western States represent
the small fruits and the tender
err varieties of large fruits as badly
injured by the severe winter, so
that Michigan fruit growers have
a prospect not only of large crops
but of good prices.
