The Senate.

The dead lock" still continues in the
Senate, the Democrats continuing to fiji
buster to prevent the adoption of the Re
publican ress' luton to deposs the present
elective officers ofthe Senate. The Repub-
licans ED a caucus On Monday, at which
the qsstion of a further pursuance of their
course was considered. 1t is said that
there was a considerable disposition man
ifested among Senators to recede from
their position, but the influence Of Conk-
ling and other leaders prevailed aad il
was determined to pcrsevere further in
their course. The Democrats do not man
iiest the slightest weakening in their pos
itisn, and the public opinion Of the csua
try seems to be in their favor Mr. Sher-
man and Mr.. Bay ard, who up to that time
had not taken any part in he discussions
in the Senate ever the Malone Rspubli-
can wild hunt for office, both came to the
front on Tuesday, and the remarks made
by both attracted the close attention OF
tar the strongest presentation of the Re
publican side of the case which has yet
been delivered. and there was so, one

bly, set forth. As tn he claims OF the Re

Guiteau Guilty of High Treason.

A person attempting to kill the pres
ident of the United States, is not gull
ty of high treason; but a person as
saulting a man with intent to kill be-
cause he is president of the United
States, is considered criminal guilty
of high treason, even though it is not
expressly declared in the constitution
of the United States.
For high treason, according TO its
nature and common acceptance, is an
attack directed against legitimate ex-
ecutive authority, threatening its very
existence ana attacking the fundamen-
tai organization Of the government
According to the constitution of the
United States, the executive power of
the United States is vested in the per-
son legitimately chosen as its president !;
therefore, an assault with intent to
kill the president, because he is presi-
dent, is an attack on the executive
power of the government of the United
States itself, threatening its funda-
mental organization, and consequently
an act of high treason under the pen
atty of high treason, and punishable as
such.
The circumstance that such an act
is not explicitly mentioned in the con-
stitution of the United States does not
disprOve what we have said; because an
act which by its very nature belongs to a
certain crime is impliedly condemned by
the class of crime to which it belongs.
Consequently Guiteau, declaring that
he made the assault on Garfield for no
other reason than that he was presi-
dent of the United States, is guilty of
high treason and subject 10 its penalty.
Besides, the government of the Uni
ted States has right to punish the at
tempt made by Guiteau with capital
punishment on the ground of self
defense, in order to prevent in the
most efiicacious way the repetition OF
such a crime in the future by another
would-be-assassin. Such public foe:
have to be deferred by the severes
punishment inflicted in the most terri
BILE way.

The Harvest in England.

Mr.. James C.ird, the eminent agri-
cultural authority, writes to the Lon
don Times as follows: 'But for the
late rains and diminished temperature,
the harvest would have proved equal
to nearly the average of years preced-
ing 1874, but mildew has appeared and
will affect the quality of the yield of
the later crops. On two-thirds of the
wheat land an average crop will be
made up by fneness of quality. On
the remaining third, even with that aid,
it will be ten per cent. below the old
average. Heavy crops are rare. Most
of them are thin but well headed, and
there is too common evidence shown
throughout the country, of the dimin-
ished capital of farmers by the lower
scale of farming. We begin the har-
vest year very bare of old stock wheat
in the country. Our annual require
ments are from 24,000,000 to 25,0O0,-
900 quarters. When the last harvest
year is completed we shall have i'm
ported over 100000 quarters. Our
own crop this year will probably yield
9,50O,000 quarters, so that if we can
reckon on a foreign supply equal to
that Of 1880, and at not much over the
same price we shall be safe. There is
said to be an abundant harvest in Rus
sia- In France, the wheat crop is be-
lieved to be scanty. Our barley is the
best corn crop of the year. but it has
not ripened equally. Oats are extreme
ly deficient. especially in the southern
counties. Hay is fifty per cent. defc-
lent, but was generally got in fine con-
dition, MangOlds and green crops are
rapidly improving and promise tOler-
able crop. One of the best features
of the season has been fine weather
for cleansing the ground in the spring
and early summer, enabling farmers tC
rid much of their land of the accumu
lated weeds of previous wet years, bui
they have been heavily hit by bad sea
sons and losses of stock and sheep
The stock in Great Britain during tht
lass two years has Teen diminished bJ
more than twelve per cent, there being
a decline of 100000 sheep and / 600,
900 lambs since 1879"

"What is Koumiss7"

The president on numerous occa-
sious asked that koumiss be given him
and now great many enquire, "what
is koumiss?" 4 Peoria correspondent
of the Chicago Times comes to the re-
lief of the cosetry with the following
information:
Koumiss is a distilled liquor of an
intoxicating nature, obtained by the
Tartars from fermented camePs or
mares milk. 1t is the national "booZe"
of the Tartar tribes, and is as popular
with them as is the vile vodka with
the Russian, or "tangle-foot" with our
own cowboys. The name koumiss is
a corruption of the Russian kumyS,
meaning "of MOngolian origin" The
koumiss sold in this country is very
poor imitation of the Mongolian bever-
age. The following formula was clip
ped, some three years ago, from a jour-
nal of chemistry or pharmacy Il do not
now remember which), but believe it
to have been the Boston publication
Koumiss-Take quart bottles, put
into each two ounces of fresh yeast
and one-half ounce of powdered sugar,
and fill them with fresh skinned milk
Cork the bottles tightly, and tie the
corks with stout cord. Let them stand
in a warm place until the liquid be-
gins to thicken, then lay them on the
side in the cellar, and you will have a
SPLENDID article of fresh koumiss. II
using fresh SKINNED milk you are re
lieved of a large quantity of casein.
This formula produces beady, vii
famous compound, that would bt
called most disagreeable by nine out ei
ten people. 1 have never seen two
formulas exactly alike. They vary a!
to proportions and methods somewhat
but all of which have any informa
ton, are substantially as above. l
would seem that in President Garfield
case, to this wretched imitation of
barbarous beverage have our scien
tific nineteenth century surgeons be
come reduced at last.

a Little Advice.

Tee Little SOwer.
Here are four good rules, which l
want you to study well:
Always look at the person you speak
to. When you are addressed, look
straight at the person who speaks to
you. Do not mutter or humble. If
your words are worth saying, they are
worth pronouncing distinctly and
clear.
Do not say disagreeable things. If
you have nothing pleasant to say, keep
silent.
A fourth is-and oh! children re-
member it all your lives-think three
times before you speak once.
Have you something to do that you
find hard and would prefer not to do
it? Then listen. Do the hard things
first and get it over with. If you
have done wrong, go and confess it. II
your lesson is tough, master it. If the
garden is to be weeded, weed it first
and play afterward. Do the thing you
don't like to do first; and then with q
clear conscience do the rest.

Does the Sun Move?

The Rev. G. A. Johnson, a colored
preacher of Hamilton, Canada, editor
of the paper called The British Lion,
lectured in the colored church in Fifth
teenth street, near Seventh avenue, re-
Gently. His subject was: "Does the
Sun Move? or the Science of the Heav-
enly Bodies and the Revolutionary
Powers of the Earth and Sun"
He said that he was not of the opin-
on that the earth revolves. He could
not see why the divisions of day and
night could not be produced by other
causes than the revolutionary powers
of the EARTH" He also doubted very
much about this world being round.
He thought the ancients knew as much
about it perhaps as we, and they said
the earth was fat. In support of the
belief that the earth was not round, he
quoted from 'St. John, the Revelator,"
who speaks of a number of angels
standing at the four corners of the
earth holding the winds that they
might not blow upon the earth" How
could the earth be round if it had cor
ners? He would not say how many
corners the earth had, but he said, 81
know no better way than to take the
word of God as we find it."
The lecturer was disposed to believe
that the planets were inhabited like the
earth. AS to the views of the Rev. Mr..
Jasper, of Richmond, that the sun
moves, the lecturer said: Every many
people thought that Mr.. Jasper was
rather astray when he made the asser-
tion that the sun moves, have been
content to believe just as Mr.. Jasper
believes. 1 think that he was o. g"
right when he made the assertion til
the sun moves. One proof that he i,
right is the motion Of the spots on the
sun. Let anyone observe these spots
and they will be seen to move. The
rate of their motion will determine the
suns motion and that of the moon.
Joshua commanded the sun and the
moon to stand still in the heavens.
Would Joshua have done that if they
were already still? Again, when King
IeZekiah had no confidence in the
Lord, is it not recorded in Scripture
that the Lord moved the sun back ten
degrees? Then we see that the sun
rises and sets. The Scriptures speak
of from the rising of the sun to the
going down of the same. That means
actual motion. Study up the subject,
my bret hren, and you will find it very
hard to get over the plain teachings of
the Scriptures.

Substitute for Gold.

One of the recently introduced sub
stitutes for gold, which has become
very popular in some of the jewelry
and ether manufactures of fine wares
in France, is composed as follows: One
hundred parts, by weight, of copper of
the purest quality, fourteen of zinc or
tin, six of magnesia, three and six
tenths of sal amOniac, limestone and
cream of tartar in powder are added
separately and gradually. The whole
mass is kept stirred for half an hour,
the zinc or tin being dropped in piece
by piece, the stirring being kept up till
they melt. Finally, the crucible is
covered and the mass kept in fusion
for thirty-fve minutes, and the scum
being removed, the metal is poured
into moulds and is soon ready for use.
The alloy thus made is represented as
being fine-grained, malleable, takes a
high polish and does not easily OK
idiZe.

Some EgYptian Discoveries.


Such discoveries have been made in
Egypt, says the st. James Gazette, rs
must thrill with rapture every histor-
ical. every archaeological mind III the
civilized world. The more we hear of
them the more delightful they appear.
Thirty royal mummies, with what we
find described as "all the mOrtuary- ap-
pendages and inscriptions" of as many
royal personages. Among them the
bodies Of Thutmes III. and Ramses
1.-THE same Thutmes who set up
the obelisk that now stands on the
Thames whose titles and honors are
also inscribed on that monument, and
now that their mummies are found
seven the flowers and garlands which
were placed in their cofiins may be
seen eneircling the masks which cover
the faces Of the deceased just as they
were left by the mourners over 5000
years ago" Think Of a gallery 200
feet long "Rlled with relics of the
Theban dynasties" relics re-
moved from their appropriate places
in tombs and temples, and concealed in
this secret subterranean gallery by the
priests to preserve them from destruc-
tion by some foreign invader. Among
these treasures are 300 mortuary
statues bearing royal cartouches and
inscriptions, fifteen enormous wigs,
and above all vast leathern tent "in a
truly wonderful state of preservation.
1t is covered with hieroglyphs most
carefully embroidered in red, green and
yellow leather: the cOlors are quite
fresh and bright, and the whole work
manship is described as beautiful. But
neither the mummies nor the wigs mol
the tent; nor any of these things car
be compared with the "find" of papyri
or so we may anticipate, though they
have not yet been unrolled. Fom
were found in the secret gallery, which
was hewn in the solid rock of the
cliffs of the Lybian mountains. AL
the papyri are in perfect state of pres
ervation-the largest (Which is about
sixteen inches wide) and when unrolied
will probably measure from one hun
dred to one hundred and forty feet il
lengthy being beautifully adorned with
illuminations in color. What these an
cient screeds may reveal the world viii
