Witha view Of arranging some basis OF
compromise, q couple Of Democratic Sen.
ators yesterday called on members Of the
Cabinet and asked their views with regard
to the proposed amendment to the Cleo
ton laws, and requested them to find out
Il fitwould meet the Presidents approval.
The proposition is made that that part OF
the statutes which authorize U. s. Deputy
Marshals to arrest men at the polls on
election day without warrant be repealed,
and tho law amended so that no arrests
shall be made, except upon a warrant OF

to an appropriation bill. .71ufidT f.'5
A similar proposition has been made to
prominent Republicans in the Senate and
House, and has been received with some
favor.
In case compromise is arranged so
that the, election laws are to Ge amended

will insist upon proposing certain amend.

Democrats can not safely oppose! They
will propose to amend the laws so as TO
prohibit tho use Of ballots OF less than n

used by both parties to be Of uniform size

The Democratic Senators who have pro.

] Budding Orange Trees.

The Sanford Journal describes the
following process of budding: ~
An easy and very successful way
of putting in buds, practiced near
here, we would like to have tried in
some other locality. 1t seems that
Mr.. Wellington has been in the habit
of trimming his buds during the heat
of the day upon the piazza of his
house, and dropping the trimmed
buds into cup Of clear water, insert.
ing them during the cooler part of
the day. He ties his bud with pre-
pared cloth, taking the best of
bleached muslin and spreading on a
composition of equal parts of rosin
and wax for dry hot weather, and tar
and wax for rainy and wet days. The
result has been almost incredulous.
On one day, with two assistants, 58e
buds were inserted, only six of which
failed to grow Many times he has
put in from twenty to one hundred,
and saved every one. 1t is certainly
a very easy and inexpensive method,
and is worthy the consideration of
those who dislike to work in the sun.

and bites. About once in ten years
they immigrate in large armies. They
march in a straight line. They cross

Nothing stops them, not fire, cascades

around and bark and bite like dog.
Foxes, lynxes, OWLS hawks, and

which they plunge, as persistent and

five budded orange and five budded

that they have made remarkable
