How Vines Climb.

Prof. Brewer, Of Washington College,
Pa, communicates to the american
Journal of Science and Arts the result
of some experiments made by him on
climbing vines-the hop, tle Lima bean
and the morning glory. He finds that
they will climb around q transparent
glass pipe just as we'll as anything else,
and they are most ardent in their en-
braces when the pole is warmer than the
surrounding air. During the day the
vine is attracted toward the light, but at
night, and especially on cold nights, it
turns to the pole. He learns, also, that
thecolor of the pole makes no difference;
the caressing instinct of the vine has no
prejudice against any shade. The ele-
ment of constancy is very largely de-
veloped, the vine, after it has reached
the pole, showing much stronger ten
dency to wind around it than it did be-
fore to reach it.
It is, doubtless, true that bean will
climb around a glass pipe as freely as
anything else3 but, as hint to practical
men, it may be said here that vine
will make much greater progress when
it has a rough stick to climb around
than it will when the stick is smooth.
The vine cannot adhere to the smooth
pole, and spends its force in trying to
hold on. On rough stick it finds sup
port, and, as in the case Of some beans,
reaches the top much sooner than other
wise. Another thing is, that grape
vines and all vines grow much more
rapidly with stake to cling to than
without one. If one has a choice vine
which it is desired should run up quick
lY. stake it at once.

StOneWall Jackson and the Wagon
Tongues.

Mr.. Howell, one of the proprietors of
the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, says OF
Stonewall Jackson:
''His genius lay in two things-the
thoroughness of discipline and his devo-
ton. do not think he was a man of
great natural ability. He could not talk
at all. He was not an entertaining per-
son. He was rigid military man; edu-
Gated at West Point, he had learned his
lesson well, and applied it unfinchingly.
I remember a single order which he
always enforced, which, in my mind, ac-
counted for a good deal of his success.
It was that, whenever we stopped on a
march the wagons must go to the side of
the road, and be unhitched with their
tongues pointing to the road, so they
could be driven either up the road or
down. Now that would seem to be a
simple thing, but it accounts for the re-
markable CELEBRITY of Jackson's marches.
Suppose a man would stop and his
wagon tongue would point the wrong
way, and at certain hour in the morn
ing he would begin the march, and that
the wagon would block up the road? II
there were many such wagons the march
would be delayed a certain time to let
them get ship-shape. Jackson rode uI
and down his lines every day, morning
and evening. to see if such orders as
these were strictly carried ont.

DoINGs IN CONGRESS.

On the meeting Of the Senate on Wednesday,
April 81, Mr. Morgan asked leave to offer concur
rent resolution declaring that the interests OF the
people of the United States of America and the vel
fare and security of the Government are SO in
volyed in the construction Of ship canals OF

precedent to the execution of such project also
as to rules and regulations under which other ma
tons shall participate in the use of such canals or
other ways, either in peace in war. Referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations. Only short
session was held, two caucuses being had by the Re-
publicans, when the question of the deadlock, the
Presidents nominations, executive sessions and
other matters were discussed. The gen.
eral feeling was that the effort to elect
Senate officers should be persevered in. 1t was
held by some, however, that determination to pur-
sue the course outlined was not Incompatible with
executive sessions and there seemed to be general
feeling that the Presidential nominations and the
Chinese treaties should be acted upon very soon.
No formal action was taken, and the whole matter
was referred to committee, which will report at a
future meeting. The Presiden6 nominated Justus
Spafford to be Postmstter at Huntington, W. Va.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
devoted some time Thursday, April Is, to the
discussion of the Morgan resolution, which propos-
that the assent Of the United States should be

canal across the Isthrnus Of Panama The committee
came to no definite conclusion to what should be
done with the resolution, and ended by referring
it to a subcommittee consisting of Gen. Burnside,
who will report it back to the full committee at an
early day. Senators Butter and Hale were the
speakers and the old straw was thrashed once more

Only two generations ago the posses
sions of Turkey ran from the River
Pruth to Cape Matapan, and, barring
Russia, it was the largest empire in Eu-
rope. But Turkey has been extensively
carved and bled since that time. Little
Greece was cut off in the south, and set
up Housekeeping for itself; then servia
and Roumania were cut off in the north.
Since Turkeys last war with Russia
Austria has appropriated Bosnia and
Herzegovina; Bulgaria gained in fact its
Independence; Eastern Roumelia state
of neutrality-suspicious.; and Servia, Rou-
mania and Montenegro were enlarged by
several slices of Turkey. This left TuT-
key in Europe one of the smallest Euro
peanI states. So far Turkey has lost
two-thirds of her European possessions.
The European population Of Turkey has
dwindled down from twenty to five mill
ions of people.

asking for consideration of the Chinese treatv. A
debate ensued between Messrs. Dawes and Farley
the Chinese question receiving considerable atten-
ton. Afterward few remarks were 1nade by
Messrs. Beck and Salisbury, and the Sem
ate adjourned The Republican Caucus Com
mlttee, consisting of seven Senator'S met and
agreed on report. They recommend that execu-
i've sessions be held Immediately to transact bust
ness in the following order: First, to refer to the
appropriate committees all nominations now on the
table; second to take action on the various treaties
awaiting ratification; third, to consider all uncoh-
tested nominations, that is such as are not objected

which the appointment belongs. When this pro-
