THE NEW IDEA"

BY the way, [ think | forgot to tell
you about the charming literary pa
per, the New Idea, lately started here.
The witchery of its beautiful young
editress, Miss Maud Smith, must have
driven it out of my head. 1t is to be
devoted to strictly literary subjects,
with dash of the useful thrown in
by way of salt, and has for its contrib
tors some of the most brilliant lady
writers, not only from this State but
from various other States of the
South. Among others, Miss Madge
Hunt, the pearless song bird of the
South, has promised to make musical
its pages now and then with one of
her heart touching lyrics. The edi-
tress, Miss Maud Smith is one of the
most accomplished and beautiful
women ofthe Southland. Her beauty
is Of the spirituelle kind that bewil-
ders the mind while it enchains the
fancy, and withal there is charming
naviete about her that would make
you be a subscriber to her journal, if |
you ever saw her, no matter whether |
the poverty of Job were in your pOck-
cts or not.

LATEST TELEGRAAlS.
FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.
REGULAR SESSION.
SENATE

Washington, 22.-The President
presented the secretary OF toe treas.
nry's answer to tie resolution re-.
gardipg the method OF the revenue
service in subtracting fare on foreign
sugars imported in boxes. Fourteen
per cent. is allowed in such cases,
but importers may insist on actual
fare.
The bill passed extending the
northern boundary of Nebraska so as
to include the present territory of
Dakota south of the thirteenth paral-
lei east of Keyspuds River, and west
OF the main channel of the Missouri
River, when the Indian titles are ex-
tinguished.
Alter few unimportant bills were
passed, Morgan supported his joint
rule for counting the electoral votes.
Morgan argued for harmony. Let
the House meet as judges.
Conkling said the bill accomplished
nothing.
Morgan intimatsd that the repub
licans opposed the resolution from a
desire to have the President control
the count indirectly.~
Conkling humorously assured Nor
gan and Thurman, who were making
side remarks, that their prospects for
the presidency were dissolving views;
that the president would be elected
by the people next time, and therefore
he looked upon this legislation with
much greater pleasure than he other
wise would.
Morgan said that four years ago
guns we're said to have been put in
position to bear upon this capital to
control the counting OF the electoral
vote,
ConkliDg taid be had never heard
that, and declared it was Vspory talk.
This resolution was merely a tenn
pOrary expedient. He expressed the
nope that Thurman would De the
democratic candidate for president.
The count contemplated by this meas
IRE Was to be made by these two
houses, both democratic; bat the
movers were aware thai the next
houses might be both republican. and
were resolved only to make sure of
the present opportunity as d tenn
porary thing. 1t should be q law
and not q joint rule which should
regulate this question.
Morgan said that o. P. Morton
favored this rule, and had proposed
it as a lew, but instead the two
houses mad adopted the 22i joint rule
and had three counts under it, and
they abTogsted the rule when they
saw one house would be democratic.
He affirmed that the republicans
were determined to quarrel with any
rule whatever. The democrats had
done their duty and would submit to
the approval of the people. He
alluded to the threat of C0nkling that
New York (which he aaid went and
came like locomotive at the bidding
of her manager Conkling) woald cast
her electoral vote in the usual way,
and said New York was dreaded all
over this land.
Adjourned.

HOUSE.

Washington, 22.-There wss much
confusion over the consideration OF
the public buildings bill, and when q
motion to 60 into committee was
made, the point was raised of INC
quorum"
Finally. the House decided, 146 to
40, to go into committee.
The House considered the reports
from the committee on public build
inss.
Cook, from the committee 90 pub
lie buildings, said his committee had
ninety bills for public buildings, in
vcl0ing an appropriation OF S13, 000,-
600, and had reported iorty-three,
involving S6,000,0OO. There was
considerable discussion about the
economy OF renting buildings for
government use.
The committee rose after finding il
impossible to transact business On &C.
count OF no quorum voting.
Aitsr some fiibustering, the pur-
pose of which was not apparent, the
House adjourned.

II Is a little singular that the tri-
cycle has not come into more general
use. for it is certainly machine
preferable to the bicycle, if comfort,
convenience and ease OF Iccomotion
can be conaidered. = writer in the
English Mechanic attributes the slow.
growing popularity OF the tricycle. to
the fact that the manufacturers pay
little attention to small but important
matters in its make, and turn out
only second or third rate machines.
A tricycle. is necessarily more ezpen-
eive than a bicycle, hence SO many Of
them could not be sold, and this may
be the reason the manufacturers do
not try to make the better machine
supercede the poorer. Tue writer
referred to above is an expert bicycle
rider, but says with a good tri-
cycle the labor is less, the
motion is smoother. less power Is
wasted in shaking the rider
about, and the strain on the atten-
ton is, beyond comparison, less. With
a good tricycle.. any rider withou:
daily training may ride the whole
day, day after day-a thing that no
bicycle rider could do without training.
The average running speed is about
the same, but a tricycle. rider can travel
further in a day than the bicycle
rider. The writer says: Gas a tray
cling machine in al weathers the
tricycle. is the best beyond all COM
parison, partly from the ease with
which the ground is covered, partly
from the perfect protection from
weather which an umbrella gives. l
certainly am not cramped on the tri.
cycle, but in precisely the same posi-
ton as when on the bicycle. Ny
for adhering to the bicycle ia a
simple one. The motion is rough,
the exercise is hard, and the two to-
gether keep my chronic dyspepsia in |
check. The tricycle. IS easy, smooth, |
sleepy work, and has no effect what
ever so far as my health is concerned. |
l keep a bicycle for phys;c, and a
tricycle. for going about the country
for pleasure" We believe that in
this country the tricycle. would soon
become SIS popular, or more so, than
the bicycle, il some one would intro
ipce it, that the points OF the two
machines might be practically COM |
pared.

IT said that in portions Of Davis
and Cache Counties q peculiar weed
has appeared in the lucern fields
and is fast running out the lucern.
The obnoxious weed is difficult OF
destruction, having as many lives as
q cat, and as tenacious of them as
the feline is Of lis too numerous ex-
istences. A gentleman from the
north informs Us that already several
acres of luoern have been so ovsrrun
by the weed as to destroy the crop OF
the former. LuCern has been re-
garded as a great boon to this coun.
try, as it is a profitable crop on nearly
any land, and viii yield well where
no other plant of value will grow, as
on the high and dry benches. Dur
ing the past year several hundreds OF
acres OF the ur-lands that cannot be
otherwise utilized for agricultural pur-
poses, owing TO the lack of moisture,
have been seeded 10 lucern, which
returns large profits. II this valuable
fodder plant is now to be run out By
q worthless weed, the loss to farmers
and the country generally will be
serious, especially in view Of the
scarcity of provender for cattle. We
hope the ravage5 OF the destroyer viii
be confined to the districts where it
already mas shown itself.

Presidential Representations

Washington, %. The action oil
the Illinois and Alabama conven-
tions, adding sixty-tWo votes to the
Grant column, has created among
Washington politicians what is com
monty described as ''bulge" for the
president, and the fact that this
feeling has set in during the week
Immediately preceding the meeting of
the national convention is conceded to
be decidedly advantageous to Grant.
II is apparent that great many con-
gressmen who, ten days ago, did not
think that Grant could be nominated
have, since the action of the Illinois
convention, reconsidered their con-
illusions aud now freely admit that il
will require combination OF very
unexpected circumstances to de-
feat him. The most prominent friends
of the candidates. of Blaine and
Sherman do not, however, despair OF
still achieving success for their
respective delegates. Shermsn's
friends ktoutly deny the rumor that
EC 10 INV hGeiiO0o vi OOtalulnE ZIG
second place on the Grant ticket
One of his managers, to-day, de-
nounced the rumor as grossly untrue,
and added that Secretary Sherman is
not a candidate for the second place
with anybody, but is hopeful
yet of securing the grand prize.
William E. Chandler. who is now
in this city, still insists that
Grant cannot and will not be Domi-
mated, ard the theory of Blaine men,
all of whom think ss Mr.. Chandler
does, is that Grant will not succeed
on the first ballot, and that after that
there will be a general break up.
when Blaine will run IN. There is
one fact apparent, and that is, 10th
Blaine and Sherman expect to suc-
coed by the same means, that is By
securing the bulk of the Grant dele
gates at the second ballet.
