him. Accordingly the disappointed lover
yesterday paid visit to his former mis-
tress and, after some alteration, shot her

the stairs. he placed the weapon against
his head and fired, inflicting wound from

The greater part of this days sitting in
the senate was taken by a long speech from
NJ. Chesnelong against the bill providing
that teachers in schools shall be duly GER
tficated. The discussion Of the measure,
which does away with the power of the
clerical authorities to qualify teachers
without examination. was adjourned until
tomorrow. In the chamber this afternoon
the original bill for limiting the hours for
work in factories was negatived, but an
amendment, providing that women and
youths under eighteen shall not be allowed
to work more than eleven hours day and
six days per week, was passed by large
majority.

The fact that prohibitory and 9th err
stringent legislation against the liquor
traffic has been enacted by an unusually
large number of legislatures and has re-
ceived a strong support, leads TO the con-
clusion that public attention has been call

Sir Robert Peel possessed a brilliant
command of sarcasm. In 184S Feargus
IO'Conner was charged in the British
parliament with being a republican. He
denied the charge, declaring that he did
not care whether the queen Or the devil
was on the throne. Peel replied: "Whe n
the honorable gentleman sees the sover.
eign of his choice on the throne of these
realms, and hope he'll enjoy, and I'm
sure he'll deserve the confidence of the
crown"

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April Is, 1888

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April is, 1881.
From Washington, or, rather, from a
national standpoint, the principal event OF
this week has not heen the personal rem
contre in the Senate between the senator
from Virginia and the senator from Geor-
gia, but an issue of notice by the score
tary of the treasury that, on July LIST, he
would pay the interest on nearly $780,
COCOON 6 per cent bonds. which will be
due at that date. The notice was accom-
panied by an offer FROM the treasury de-
partment to the bondholders to extend the
bonds, at an interest Of 3 LIZ per cent, as
long as the government may desire to
have them run. By turning the 6 per
cent into l-2 per cent bonds the govern
ment will eff ,ct saving of nearly five
millions annually in the amount Of inter-
est paid on the public idebtedness. No
matter how few or how many of the per
cent bonds may be extended, it is known
that The treasury has ample means to cash
hem all These means consist OF Sl04,-
100000, which can be issued at 4 l-2 per
cent, and of $4,000 900 or $4,000. 900
surplus revenues. 1t is now certain that
nearly S200,0O0,000 of the 6 per cent
debt will be either liqudated or converted
into 8 2 per cent debt this year.

on the question of adjournment every day

There was good deal of talk last night
about IL caucus of republicans. and of a
possibility that the controversy will come
to an end sometime next week. 1t was

convened. The president has probably

Insects and vermia.

Getting Rid of Rats.-Perhaps the most satisfactory way of all to rid house of rats is to keep good cat or two about the place. We have known barns that were overrun with rats and completely cleared of them by one good cat. Ferrets are very. useful 10 keep rats from build ings. In England many hundreds ot men make living by travelling around with ferrets, killing rats for two or three pence each. Ferrets are used also to procure rabbits in many warrens. Ii ferrets are kept on the premises rats are quite sure to be scarce; the two are dead ly enemies. An occasional ferret hunt for rats is good plan, should any be known to be on the premises. The fer rets should be tame and well trained
 Death to Flies.-The Lancaster Turner, an authority on all that pertains to in- sects, gives the following information about ridding houses of insects: The Pyrethrum roseum, or Persian chamo- mile," is the powdered leaf of harmless flower growing in Caucasian Asia in great profusion, where for centuries it has been used to rid the natives of Inwel- come guests from the insect world. It can be purchased of any reliable drug gist at about one dollar a pound, all ready prepared for use. With a finely powder ed dust made from these flowers, the mosquito, the house fly, the flea and tke disgusting Cimexlectularius may all be put to flight or murdered. It is only necessary to heap up into a little cone one teaspoonful of the drug pyrethrum, touch it with a lighted match and watch the thin blue line of smoke as it rises to the ceiling and is waited through the air, changing the busy drone of insect life into a weak wall of insect woe. Pret. ty soon down they come plump on the table and over your paper, spin on their backs, and then sheath their lancets, curl up their hair-like legs, and are no more.
 The use of Paris Green.-Paris Green is so cheap, and is such an effectual de- stroyer of the potato bug, that no excuse can be made for permitting potatoes to remain d prey to it's ravages. Farmers generally use a great deal too much of the poison. It take but little of it to de- stroy the bugs. A trial was made to see how much of It was necessary for the purpose. Common cheap flour was used as vehicle for applying the poison. One ounce of pure Paris Green was mix ed with 21 lbs. of the flour and applied but sparingly to the vines, and it did the work etfectually. That is at the rate of of the green to 40 of the flour. Flour is preferred, because if applied wher the vines are damp the glutec sticks to the leaves and retains the poison in place better than plaster or ashes, or other material, and need not be expensive.

THE new Duke of Portland seems to be a generous young man. The Swing estate in Caithness was bought by ths late Duke of Portland not long before hls death, and the tenants have recently peutioned the present Duke to grant a permanent reduction in their rents. The Duke sent an expert down to Scotland to inquire into the matter, and the report was that the rents were 25 per cent, too high, and they have accordingly been re- dnced It turned out that the property had purposely oyer-rented before it was brought into the market; but it would have been rather hard upon the purchaser had he happened to be a pooi man.
