The most exciting event of the week, in the
Senate deadlock debate, occurred Wednesday,
when Mr. Frye, Secretary Blaine's successor
from Maine, emerged from his temporary OBJ
security, and contributed to the debate the
most remarkable speech of the session. Com
plimenting the Southern senators on their
bravery" Senator Frye poured upon them
such shower of derision and sarcasm that
even the most foolhardy speedily took refuge
in silence, after a few indiscreet Interrupt
tons. Nothing could better illustrate the
weakness of the Democratic position than
Mr.. Frye's accumulation of evidence TO prove
THAI, under law and practice, there is not one
Southern state in which an honest count and
free ballot is possible. Taking up, one af-
ter another, the states in which, according to
the Democratic senators, there is free ballot
and an honest count, he placed before the
Senate long lists of outrages upon the negroes
at the polls, and showed from court records
that hundreds of Democratic election officers
had not only deprived Republicans of their
votes, but had even pleaded guilty of this
crime. The infamous methods employed in
the shoe-string district of Mississippi and 9TH
er strong Republican sections were plainly de-
scribed, and convincing facts and figures were
given. The feeble rejoinder to this is that in
Massachusetts, there are 199, 900 paupers, vag-
abonds and drunkards, who would vote the
Democratic ticket if they were permitted to
vote at all As for the ''serfs" of Massachu-
sets, comprising the factory operatives and
the like, Mr.. Frye declared that these unfor-
tunate people have money enough in the saw
ings banks to buy the whole state of Florida
five times over, and. have $50, 1000, 900 left.
Senator Frye's assault seems to have taken the
Democrats by surprise, and we may expect
that the next few days will be occupied by
the southern senators in making desperate at
tempts to parry the force of his sturdy blows.

The passers by on the busy street.
The curious children, who left their play,
Saw the workers in mortar, brick and stone,
As the outer walls rose day by day.
They heard the noise OF hammer and saw
Where the builders wrought out the inner plan,
Till union, strength and beauty told
The work Of the sklful artisan.
But more than was noted by careless eye
Was built in with the brick and wood and stone;
The hopes, the desires, the tolls and prayers
Only to God and the givers were known.
The old, waiting years for a home of their own,
Where once they might worship ere called to theii
rest :;
The men in lfes strength, fun Of courage and hope
The women and children, who gave Of their best :
These saw in the house, from foundation 10 tower
The past, with it's waiting its trust, its prayers
The desire OF the heart, the work Of the hand
heritage worthy themselves and their heirs.

James OBrien, alias Robert or Bob"
Lindsay, who, during last years political
campaign deposed that he knew H. L. Morey,
to whom it was alleged Gen. Garfield wrote
the 'Morey Chinese" letter, and who subse-
quently confessed that he had perjured him
self, pleaded guilty last week to an indictment
for perjury, and was sent to state prison for
eight years. 1t will be simply outrageous il
this wretched man, who was only tool in
the hands of others, is the only one to be
punished. If the men who procured him to
commit perjury are not to be prosecuted,
Lindsay should be pardoned.

The Western papers are now beginning to
say that the reports Of the loss Of cattle dur
ing the winter in Montana have been greatly
exaggerated. The heaviest losses, these later
reports say, have been in northern Missouri
and southern Iowa, herds farther west and at
higher attitudes having weathered the winter
successfully. The fact is that the country
which the herders occupy is so vast that no
definite figures can be arrived at until the
time of the annual sorting, branding and
counting up.

The Democratic newspapers are much dis
tressed because Secretary Window proposes
to refund the maturing six per cent. bonds at
three and half per cent. While the Secre-
tary clearly would have no authority to issue
new bonds at a higher rate of interest than is
authorized by law, he would not have much
discretion as the financial agent of the Gov
eminent if he could not assume its consent to
pay debt against it for three dollars and a
half for which it stands obligated to pay six
dollars The people will endorse such a
stretch of authority in him as this.

THE HIGH sTEEET NUISANCE.
People who have had occasion to pass
up aud down High street in the last few days
know how the street is being dishgured by
the erection of large, unsightly poles for the
use OF the telegraph or telephone company.
At this day, when towns and cities all over
the country have societies, or associations,
for the purpose Of identifying and making
their places more attractive, il seems as
though Brattleboro was about to go in Just
the opposite direction, and was 10 allow one
of its most beautiful streets 10 be ruined
Naturally the people OF High street are very
indignant at the prospect of having their
street thus defaced. The fully signed pet-
ton to the authorities for the removal Of the
nuisance will testify to that. Yet the people
of High street are no moro interested in this
matter than each and every person who
wishes to see the beauty Of the village pre-
served. II poles Of this Objectionable char
acter can be erected on High street, they GER
tainly can be on Main street, and every one
can see what the effect of such row of poles
up Main street would be. Aud il the High
street line is allowed, how can we but expect
similar one on Main street, where il is
equally desirable to the builders. Continu-
ing from High street the company propose to
follow Western avenue to West Brattleboro
Think again of this beautiful drive being
lined with row of unsightly telegraph poles.
What could detract more from the beauty of
the avenue? 1t behOoves every one interest
ed in the beauty and attractiveness of the vii
lage TO do what he can to prevent the out.
rage. Had the individuals who are doing the
work moderate amount of gentlemanly con-
sideration and respect for the public feeling,
which is SO strong against them, they would
make an attempt TO correct the difficulty, q
thing which they have not DONE 1t seems
strange that the persons who have the
control of this work should not share in the
general feeling of pride in the beauty OF the
village, and do their part toward preserving
it in its present condition, to say nothing of
causing 1t to be mRrred in this way. am
assured that If these poles arc allowed to
stand similar ones will be erected along Main
street, and l again appeal to every public
spirited person TO come forward and do his
part toward preventing the work which, if
allowed, would form a precedent which will
endAnger the attractiveness of every street in

THE INSECT PoPULATIoN.-In lS49 Alex
ander Won Humboldt estimated the number
of species of insects preserved in collections
to be between 100000 and 10000, Europe
alone being represented by more than three
times as many species of insects as Of
phanerogamous plants. Ten years ago DR..
Gerstacker estimated the number of spe.
cies of insects to be 225, 900, five times as
many as the known species of all other
classes of animals together. If we assume
that there exist in the whole world only
three times rs many insects as there are
phanerogamous plants-the latest estima-
ton of which approaches 225, 000-we
arrive at the startling sum of 10000 Be-
wildering as this estimate appears, it is
probably too low. The oak alone gives
shelter and support to $50 species of in-
sects, and the pine to moro than 200, and
one moth alone has thirty.five species of
parasites Without going farther in our
calculation, we may safely assert that if
the number of species of all other classes
of animals should be doubled by new dis
coveries (Which is rather improbable for
some classes, and impossible for the verte-
brates), the number of species of insects
would be more than five times that of all
other animals taken together.
First Lieutenant John S. Bourke, Third
Cavalry, U. S. A., Abide Camp to Gem
eral Crook, was one of the officers selected
by Lieutenant. General Sheridan some
months since to make Investigations into
the habits of the Indians living within or
contiguous to the military Division of Mis-
souri,. The district assigned to Lieutenant
Bourke was the southern half of the dvi.
sion, the northern portion being allotted to
Captain w. p. Clark, Second Cavalry.
Bourke has penetrated into n country
never before traversed by white man,
and has written to General Sheridan long
letter, which contains graphic account OF
curious and terrible religious ceremony
among the remote and almost unknown
Indian tribe, the Moquia of Northwestern
Arizona, people whose identity has been
preserved since they were first seen and
partially described by the Spanish Catholic
missionaries in 1886. The rite referred to
is the snake dance. Lieutenant Bourke
states that they danced around in pecu-
liar manner with snakes in their hands and
mouths. There were about hundred
vcnomous rattlesnakes, and these were
handled carclessly by old mon and boys
Tbs scene was horrible in the extreme.
These people are greater snake-eharmers
than the Asiatics.
