We observe by The Congressional Record that Sem

jumping on the whole Senate, and establishing the
previous question in that body, the other day. SEN
atOr Kellogg, of Louisiana, being desirous Of an
opportunity to answer his colleague, Senator Jonas
who had just addressed the Senate, Senator Eaton
the chair reminded him that agreement had been
made TO take vote upon the pending question AT 1
O'clock it being within one minute Of that hour
And he added that if Senator Jonas had continued
his remarks till o'clock the Chair would have
called him to order and announced the understand
ing to him. Mr. Edmuuds, who was no doubt a
little startled at this innovation which practically
establishes the rule Of the previous question at

anybody TO order for speaking after o'clock. for

THE PHYSIQUE OF AMERICANS

1t used to be common remark that
Americans were lacking in physique, and
as q nation they were called Iank, lean
and of too nervous temperament. But
time, with increased comfort, prosperity,
better food and clothing, and other con-
comitants of civilization, has worked
wonders for our people Dickens, who
was an unusually keen observer, remark
ed vast Improvement on his second
visit to this country in the looks of the
people, especially the women. Other
evidence may be cited to the same effect.
But let each judge for himself. Walk
along Broadway or any other thorough
fare when the crowd is densest; stand on
packed ferryboat or in front of one Of
our large churches or theaters when the
audience is leaving. Are not the mass
of people who pass robust, well-fed and
substantial-looking? DO you see many
cadaverous, slab-sided persons? Do not
they look, on the average, as well as peo-
pie of any other race? The fact is, and
the statistics of the examining surgeons
OF our enormous army during the war
prove it, that the American is taller and
larger around the chest than his Saxon
Celtic OF Teutonic cousin. Dwellers in
cities are usually puny. The Londoner,
the Partisan and the New Yorker are all
small men; but the Maine lumbermen,
the farmers from the Far West, and the
men from the border States are huge,
powerful built fellows.
Take the United States Senate Or the
House OF Representatives and how many
fine physiques will be found among their
members. In the last three Cabinets
there was an unusual proportion of large
vigorous men. Chase Seward, Stanton
and Blair were not pigmies, nor are
Hayes supporters lacking in bone and
muscle, excepting Evarts and Schurz.
Thus it may be accepted that Ameri-
cans have size and strength sufficient
for their needs, and that it is a mistake
to suppose otherwise.

The plague Of rats in the Deccan dis
trict in Hindustan, for the second season
in succession,is occasioning serious alarm
These animals overspread the country
like locusts, destroy the crops almost as
thoroughly, and are even more difficult
to keep down. So grave had become the
aspect of affairs that a 'Rat Committee
was appointed to inquire into the best
means of disposing of these creatures. 1t
went thoroughly into the question after
the manner of committees in India, and
its recommendations are carefully tabu-
lated. The people are to be induced to
turn out en- masse and face the enemy,
rewards are to be offered for dead rats,
and, in fact, the invasion is to be treated
as a matter to be dealt with vigorously
by the wholecommunity.

LESsEPs AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE


M. de Lesseps, speaking at Beauvais,
France, few days ago, on the Panama
Canal, and contending that the Monroe
doctrine had nothing to do with it, told
the following anecdote:
ON 1855, when the Anglo-French al
lance had reached the eliminating point
Queen Victoria came to Paris Do you
know what was the first thing her Majes-
ty said to the Emperor when she had an
opportunity to talking seriously with
him? You could never imagine. She
asked him Immediately to have q stop
put to the Suez Canal works The En-
peror twisted his long mustache and re-
piled that he had heard of NJ de Lesseps
but that he was not personally acquaint-
ed with him, and that it was impossible
to prevent him from continuing his
work; that if he had gone and asked
Queen Victoria to interfere with the
work Of any English contractor he would
in all probability have been ill-received
The conversation was not continued.
Thus it was that the ill-will of England
with regard to a canal she now considers
so precious remained without effect. There
are in America extremely energetic Latin
races, who take the greatest interest in
the Panama canal. People are much
mistaken if they fancy that these people
would remain Indifferent in the event of
a hostile Of malevolent attitude on the
part Of North America. [ have proofs to
the contrary, and know that the United
States do not think Of offering resistance,
which would expose them to the censure
of the whole Southern population Of the
New World.

w. NANDERBILT'S PRIVATE STABLES :
The arrangements from William II. Van
derbilt's new household establishment
are on the largest scale. A description
has already been given of the two
bouses he is now building, one for HIM
self and one in two parts for his two mar
ried daughters in Fifth avenue, embrac-
ing the whole frontage between Fiftieth
and Fitty-tirst streets. For these the
foundations are well advanced His new
stables are on a scale to correspond, and
staid and highly respectable Madison ave
nue. has been considered good enough for
them. They occupy a space of 100 feet
on this avenue, with a frontage of Is feet
on Fifty-second street, and are, conse-
quently, only two blocks removed from
his new residence. They are nearly in
closed and present a fine appearance.
A new resident has remarked that the
architectural objects of interest in that
neighborhood are the Cathedral, the new
buildings of Columbia College and w. II.
Vanderbilt's stables.
The architectural plan has in general
resemblance to the Grand Central depot
as seen from Forty-second street. The
material is red brick, and the trimmings
brown stone, the arches being Roman,
and the roof leaning toward French styles
There are low towers at the corners and
centre elevations. The main entrance
on Fifty-second street is Of large proper
tons. Special and costly decorations, in
keeping with the purposes Of the build
ing, will be put on the interior Of the
carraige-room. His congregation Of trot-
ters and coach horses will have apart
ments on the Madison avenue side, and
the coachmen and hostlers will have
suites of apartments up stairs.-Neo

THE USE or NUMBERS IN
SOCIETY,"

The question arises how far the exis-
tence of large population on the earth
is necessary to the action of those forces
this question it is impossible to give a full
answer; nevertheless there many practi-
cal experiments in the use of numbers
which serve to throw some light on the
matter. In the first place, it is clear
that the great successes OF this world
have not been in dense OF numerous po-
pulations BY whatever standard we
measure the success-by the general ele
vatiOn of the masses, by the number Of
able intellects, by the physical well-being
of successive generations, or by the COM
bination of these various elements of
greatness and success-it is clear that
the victories have been won by the non
numerous peoples. If, with the condi-
tions that gave England the Elizabethan
age, we could have had the population
of China, we might have had many Shak-
speares at once; but all the men of the
very first order have come from the small,
but highly wrought, populations. China
and Hindos tand and other massive ag-
gregations of men show us that an inten-
sifed struggle for mere existence can
not help man to the higher life Of body
or mind the controlling intellects, the
perfect bodies, have come from the small
societies, where the average estate is
high, where there is room for culture.
Judging by their fruits, we must pro-
nounce against the massive states, and
give the palm to the smaller, thoroughly
vitalized communities. A multitude
does not necessarily bring greatness into
the world. It will compel us to the Opt
Mon that is better to take city of thou
sands, or state with few hundred
thousands, and lavish on their people
the wealth we might yainly waste on
hundreds of millions without helping the
cause of human advance.-September

THF JE VS. AND CORBIN.

The Manhattan Beach affair, writes IA
correspondent, fzzled out very quickly.
We hear no more about it now than X 1t
had occurred last year instead of last
week. Corbin got a lively raking from
the newspapers all around, and then the
whole question of Jews at Manhattan
Beach dropped out Of sight. Not so with
the above children of israel themselves,
though. They're not the sort of people
to beput down with an insult / took a
trip to Manhattan Beach myself the
other day, to see,if any of 'em was around
in defiance of the Corbin edict and T
found quite a lot right on the forbidden
ground;in fact, they seemed more numeF-
GUS than ever before, but perhaps that
was because | was looking for them The
crowd on the hotel piazzas, and the great
throng on the plaza and around the mu-
sic stand, were literally sprinkled with
Hebrew faces. Corbin had clearly reck-
oned without his host if he thought that
by throwing stones at the Jews he co1ild
keep them all away. They don't stay
away, by any means, and the chances
seem to be that they won't. Those whom
[ saw were just as well behaved as other
people, and better than some. They
were all well dressed, and there was Ger
tainly nothing in their manner or CEN
duct to justify what Corbin had said of
the race. But noticed zone thing that
might, if one wishes to take certain sort

sons of Israel were not spending any
money. They occupied comfortable seats
wherever they could get them, but. did
not order refreshments. There was a
tremendous rush Of business at the bar.
but | could not see any Jews in the
crowd passing in and out. The restau-
rant was well filled, but no Jewish faces
could be seen at the tables Down at
the beach, where the bathers were hay
ing a jolly time, plenty Of Jews were
looking on and enjoying the fun, but I
did not see one enter the booths where
bathing dresses are hired out. They
had paid their fair down and would pay
their fare back, but they evidently did
not intend to spend any money on the
grounds. Corbin will probably think
twice before he issues another pronuncia-
mentO.

The GRANT BoOM.-NEW YORK, Aug,
27.-The Herald which seems to have
taken charge of Gen. Grant, prints near
ly two solid pages of interviews with pro-
minent men as to whether Grant will ac-
cept another nomination. All his friends
are represented as believing that he will
not. The Herald pretends to have known
all about Grants intention to accept the
presidency Of the Nicaraguan canal COM
pany, and says the telegram received by
Comnore Ammen on the 7th contained
only two words II approve, and what
he approved could only be known to Am
men, inasmuch as the brief reply was the
endorsement of a letter sent to Gen. Grant
shortly after Ammen's return from the
Paris Congress.

The MAINE CAMPAIGN.-NEW YOR

IHE MAINE CAMPAIGN.-NEW YORK,
Aug. 27.-Daniel f. Davis, Republican
candidate for. governor of Maine, who
has been giving his views on Result of
forthcoming election Of that state, to The
Boston Herald, is reported as saying that
he feels sure Of an election by the people.
He has correspondents in over one hun
dred towns and cities, with whom he
keeps communication while he is going
about the state making speeches, and
they all send him information Of Green
hackers returning to the republican fold.
He expresses the opinion that the Demo-
Gratis, will during the last week of the
campaign, abandon the idea Of electing
Smith, Greenback candidate by the peo-
pie, which is their present intention, and
will give Garcilon nearly as large vote
as last year, while Smiths vote will fall
much below what it was last year.

A BRAVE WoMAN's DEED.-JANEs-
VILE, Wis, August 26-Abraham
Christman, aged 70, an old resident Of
Clinton, Rock county, was horribly man
gled by az angry bull last evening. He
was driving cows into the yard, when
the bull attacked him, knocking him
down, hooking and trampling upon him.
Mrs. Christman saw her husband being
crushed by the infuriated BRUTE, and,
seizing club, she bravely ran to the res
cue. Dealing the bull a few heavy
blows, she caused a lull in his attack,
which she took advantage of. With al
superhuman strength she grasped her
husband with one hand while with the
other she welded the club and kept the
brute from further attack. In this way
she succeeded in getting her husband to
the barn. She was, however, too late to
prevent her husband receiving what are
looked upon as fatal injuries Five ribs
were broken from the sternum, crushing
the chest, and badly injuring the under
jaw into the mouth, and the collar bone
was broken.
