MIR. Fernando Wood will continue to preside
over the Ways and Means Committee, Proctor
Knott will still furnish the House with It's
law, Finley will take the place once filled by
Glover, and so on to the end of the chapter.
Speaker Randall has organized the House in
the interest OF the Republican party, and 1t
might be well to give him a vote of thanks.
The New Code of Civil Procedure is very near
its final enactment-or another veto The bill
was ordered to third reading yesterday in
the Assembly, and was made a special order
for next Tuesday, when it Will undoubtedly
pass The Governor can hardly fail TO re-
ceve graciously a bill which has been so
amiably amended to meet his views.
The vote of 1876 to % by which the Ca
madam House of Commons has rejected Mr.
Mackenzie's free trade amendment to the
tariff resolutions, will encourage the MacdOn-
aid Administration in pursuing its protective
policy. as well as in securing compliance
with its demand for the removal of Lieuten-
ant Governor Letellier. AS the new tariff is
now fairly in operation, the vote possesses
additional significance on that account.
The Senate has at last reached IA decision
upon the vcXcd question whether the vacancy
in the representation of NewHampshire Ill
that body happened" or " occurred" The
decision is on tho side of common sense and
the Just right of State to continuous repre-
sentation, and against the bubbles OF micro
scopic lawyers. Mr. Bell was admitted, and
Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, was informed that the
Senate of the United States does not cOnstrue
"otherwise TO mean in the same way.'
Inasmuch as Senator Window anticipated
the negro exodus, and sought to provide
haven for the blacks whom cruelty and OPP
preston were sure TO drive from the South
his views upon the movement which has so
quickly followed his proposal for Freed
mems Territory become of peculiar interest
The Senator. whose opinions are set forth at
length elsewhere, believes that partial mi
grafton of the race will be of the greatest
benefit to the Southern States in removing
the fear of negro rule, and thus quieting
the tyrannical determination of the
whites TO render such rule Impossible
by violence and teIrorisSs. Letters received
from all parts of the South confirm his behet
that the recent movement was merely blind

TILE TENNEL ELL.

At no time has there been any occasion for
serious alarm respecting the possible effect of DR..
Hayess Tunnel bill upon the public parks. DR..
Hayes established TOO great reputation last
wear as the champion of Washington Square
against the armOry scheme to allow any one
TO believe that he would advance any project
which might involve ruin or damage to any of the
parks And he has now given the best of assurances
on this point by offering an amendment to the bull
which carefully protects the parks against invasion
or injury The property-owners near Washing
ton Square, who have organized movement
IN opposition TO the bill and have invited its
author it is understood, to appear before them and
explain its provisions will now find the chief cause
of criticism removed.
In other respects, DR.. Hayes seems to have
guarded against invasions of private rights and
against the formation of a monopoly His pro-
vision that all railways shall have the right to the
use of the tunnel upon equal terms precludes the
formation of a monopoly; the provision that the
surface of the ground. where there are ex-
cayations. shall not be rendered insecure
for buildings, would protect private property;
and the provision making the tunnel company
liable for all damages which might be sustained
would enable property Owners 10 obtain cOmpensa-
ton for injuries It might be we'll for the Legsla-
ture to give Dr. Hayess scheme chance. The
safeguards seem be sufficient, and the failure of
the project would affect those only who promoted
it. It may not appear to be thoroughly prac-
teal idea but this is an age in which bold asser-
tions on such point arc never safe.

Glucose Honey.
Scientific American.

For q long time strained honey has
been so largely sdultersted with glucose,
that the intelligent buyers are very shy
Of honey in that state. Honey in the
comb, however, especially if the comb is
clean and white, disarms suspicion,
tho Ugh it is well known that respectable
g1ocers are accustomed to surround
comb honey in jars with clear honey
mixed with a smsll percentage of glu>
cose to prevent the gIanulatiOn which
occurs in pure honey exposed to the
light. One does not object to the use of
little glucose for such purpose,
though the preserving sweet is worth
in market only one.tenth as much as the
sweets preserved. 1t is very different
matter, however, when the comb itself is
filed with glucose, and the fraudulent
substance is sold as genuine honey.
Mr.. J. Hssbrouck writes 10 the Bee
Keepers Magazine that his attention
was Lately called 10 some hhe-ioOKlng
comb5honey sod by a grocer in VIII
liamshurg. He bought some OF 1t at
twenty-five cents pound. 1t was very
white, put up in the neatest possible box,
and was altogether the finest looking
honey ne had seen this season. 1t had
nice flavor of pennyroysl, and was so
unlike glucose that he decided that his
friends suspicious were wrong, and that
it really was honey. 1t was placed on
the tea table with some clover honey,
and although his family all preferred the
comb on account of its fine appearance,
the unanimous decision after eating was
that the honey was not good. 1t was
then thoroughly analysed, and found to

When to Eat Fruit.

There is a rule on board steamers gO>
ing to the tropical ports against the sd.
mission on board of bananas. 1t is based
on the fact that the passengers drinking
wines or alcoholic liquors are sure to die
il they eat the fruit, IS the liquor taken
into the stomach acts rs a preservative
of the fruit and prevents its digestion.
The Spanish proverb has it: Fruit is
golden in the morning, silver at noon
but lead at night" Americans do not
seem TO have heard of this proverb, nor
TO have one of their own experience.
Mostly they eat fruit at night, and hence
have not the sovereign idea of it that
they would have If they had eaten it at
more proper times. They eat it as des-
sert at dinner. This may be the ms
proper time to eat dried fruits, but it il.
not the right time to eat juicy ones. The
Spanish people learned their proverb
from eating very juicy fruits, like oran-
ges. Those should be eaten in the morn
ing. a little before dinner-not later than
noon. Early In the day they will, if
eaten, prove te be the best possible med
cine for the bilious.

sheets are cut they are spread cut, all
little holes carefully mended with bits OF
