Louis Shieman and Julian A. Becker
do not propose to carry all oftlleir eggs
IN one basket, and while everyone else IN
the vicinity of Bismarck is intent upon
solving the problem Of how many bush
els OF wheat can lie raised to the acre, the
gentlemen above named have another Oh.
ject IN view. They propose this summer
to make an experiment and see how many
chickens can be raised to the acre. Mr.
Shieman in order to further his plans re-
Gently rel,nquished his pre-emption and
has taken a homestead in section Is, on
Apple Creek. His friend and partner IS
Mr. Julian A. Becker a gcntlemanotrona

tested John McLcllan's claim TO home

Twenty acres are to be devoted to a hen
merry, and it is expected that between 8,00Ci
and 5000 hens will be raised this season.
A steam hatchery has been sent tor. anc
when il arrives the manufacture OF chick

object of the gentlemen is to supply the
poultry market, although a few fancy
fowls of the most valuable breeds will be
raised for the benefit OF chicken fanclers.

in this line of business, and it is TO be
hoped that success will attend their COM

TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUNE
THE NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF
THE WORLD.
The Deadlock aud Other Washington
News---The Missouri and Red
River Floods---Other
kilograms.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Republi.
can Senators, before and after the session
of the Senate, yesterday devoted several
hours to caucus interchange of ideas in
regard to the suggested advisabilitv of
breakin g the present deadlock, by provid-
ing for the transaction of some portion Of
the accumulat ed executive business, at
an early day. The discussion, in which
nearly every member present partici-
pated, developed the opinion that no ac-
ton ought to be taken IN regard to the
deadlock which would tend to weaken or
seem to withdraw the moral support thus
far given by the Republicans Of the Sen
ale to the independent movement in tine
South, or which would place the Repub-
licans in the attitude OF retracling from
the position taken by them, that the ma
jority are entitled to control the action Of
the Senate in the election of officers and
all other matters for which they have con-
stitutional responsibility. A number Of
Senators expressed an apprehension that
any deviation from the present pro-
grammc might be injurious in the above
respect The caucus went on to argue
that the Democrats had taken a position
of obstruction against the legitimate ma
,iority which they (the Democra1s) could
not long maintain before the country,and
that the Republicans should therefore
persist in the I present policy, without
alteration. The prevalent sentiment was,
however, that to raise the deadlock sut1i-
cientlv to admit Of immediate action upon
matters of special Importance, such as
nominations to till existing vacancies and
action on various pending treaties would
not weaken the Republicans. 1t was
finally agreed that some further time
should be devoted to private consultation
and individual consideration of the whole
matter, before bringing it to the point of
caucus action, and the caucus according
ly adjourned to meet again at the CAL of
the Chairman. Probably the meeting
will take place within the next few days.

The Senate.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator But
Ter, in speech to-day, read from the east
ern newspapers and from the affidavits of
citizens, to show that in the elections held
in his state, fraud, bribery and intimida-
ton had been protected by the republi-
can party. The Chandler murder in
Name he characterized by saying, "rhat
in henousucss, in brutality, in beastli-
ness, it had never been equal!ed since the
days when the Borgias had shocked hu.
manity. School books and bibl:s we're
not the foundation of such civilization.
He only cited these outrages to remind
the senator from Maine that before he
began another cruise in South Carolina,
he ought to apply the teachings of the
school books and bible at his own home.
AS the speech ended, Burnside and Hale
engaged Butler. Burnside reasserted that
all charges that there was any corruption
on his side of the chamber, were false.
Mr.. Hale said that the difference be.
tween the people of Maine and the peo-
pie of South Carolina was that, where an
ofiense occurred, the people of Maine and
the institutions punished those who had
committed the vile deed. The Republi-
can party was dedicated to this single
purposc-that everywhere, all over the re.
public, the man who had right to
vote should be permitted if he willed to
execute that light. There would never
he a binding peace until that question
was settled, and settled right. ..
The Malone resolution was adopted,
calling on the Attorney.General for a
copy of Special Agent G.. G. Lancaster's
report to the United States Msrsha] for
the Eastern District OF Virginia.
Adjourned until Monday.

The Cars Life.

NEW YORK, April 28.--A letter from
St. Petersburg gives gloomy account of
the new Czar's life at the castle of Cots
china, thirty miles from the capital. Be-
fore the court removed thither, several
hundred artizans of the Preshrajinsky
regiment were sent to make the necessary
alterations. At midnight they were as
semb]ed in Gotschina, and were sworn TO
silence, death or Siberia being the pen
atty for violation of the oath, Ten rou-
bles were given each man. The altera-
tions were made in forty-eight| hours.
"Vodki," Russian drink, soon l0osened
the tongues of the workmen, and the fol.
lowing is description of the precautions
against assassination made in the palace
of the Gear: A subterranean passage
leads from the Czar's room to the
stables, where number of horses are
kept saddled and bridled day and night.
Sentinels are posted at intervals of twenty
yards around the building. The imperial
bedroom has two windows, protected at
night by massive iron shutters, which
can only be reached from outside by pass
ing through three spacious anti. chambers
in which are posted eighty Cossacks
armed to the teeth. They are allowed to
speak and move abont in the on ter rooms,
but IN the hall adjoining the Cars bed
room, perfect silence is maintained. At
the Generals right is knob of an%e5ac:- ec:,.
trio apparatus, which rings the bells inSev- 1's
cry guard house within the palace ground.
When the Car is about to retire, before
shutting the door he removes the outer
handle, so no entrance can be effected nn-
til he himself opens the door from the in
side. Unlike his father, he cannot endure
armed soldiers in the bed chamber.

The Vest.

This modest article of apparel of the present
day was in the last century an object of foolish
Luxury in Europe. The respectable French
dandy counted his vests by dozens up to hum
dreds. A minister of the Saxon monarchy
had three hundred, and as many wigs. 80
many perukes," said Frederick the Great
"fcr such an insignificant head!"
A museum of vests was necessary in the
eighteenth century to constitute fashionable
man; and they were made of cloth, silk, vel
vet, gold tissue etc. They were of immense
size-a canvas on which were embroidered
from top to bottom comic scenes, gallant per-
sonages, pastorals and Fontaine's fables. On
the vest of a certain fnancier appeared the
loves of Mars and Venus, ..and on that of mar
shall, cavalry review. A fashionable cox
comb displayed vest covered over with opera
scenes.
The vest button, of the size of silver dollar
was of wrought steel, of fine stones and even
diamonds. The Count d'Artois, afterwards
precious stones and enamel. and covered over
with miniatures of celebrated beauties, antique
busts, and metamorphoses of the gods. Scented
fops and adventurous gallants exhibited
on their buttons the portraits of their bellies.
When the revolution of 'S9 arrived, these
subjects were changed with the form of the
the vest, which was shortened. The button
now bore the scenes of the revolution, with
portraits of Robespierre, Couthon, and other
leaders. On some ere seen charming little
guillotines, and on others the portrait of some

A Senatorial Ruse.


A we'll known lawyer of this city tells a very
unique story at the expense of the late Schurz
OF the Interior Department. 1t appears that
certain stalwart senator was very anxious to
secure a clerkship for a worthy young man
from his State, aud, after trying in vain at
most of the departments, he determined to
play the following ruse on Schurz. He made
the young man file an application at the inte-
ror department. The next day the senator
called on Schurz and addressed him as follows:
'Mr. Secretary. 1 understand that young
man named-from my State has applied
for clerkship in your department. l have
called to enter my protest against giving him
a position, as l understand that he has been
boasting about town that he intended to get
place without my aid; that civil service rules
would be in his favor, &C." Mr.. SchurZ pro-
missed to look into the matter, and as soon as
the senator left he sent a messenger to hunt up
the young man. Upon his arrival Schurz
questioned him closely, and stated that, while
there were no vacancies he would make one
for any young man who had the independence
and mora! courage to attempt to get Though
the world without the aid of a "machine poll
tician." The young man was put to work the
next day, and is now one of the most efficient
clerks in the patent office, Notwithstanding
the fact that he got there through a senatorial
trick on the great refOrmer.

Fast Dav.

The two procl amations which appear at
the head of our columns this morning ex-
press the intent of Fast Day and indicate it's
proper observance. The recommendations
made by Governor Lincoln in the infancy of
the State are renewed by Governor Plaisted
this year. But while there has been little
change in the executive orders there has
been great change in the practices of the
people-whether for better or worse is a
question.
We doubt not that it would be better for
the State and its citizens to observe the day
in the spirit of the proclamations, instead of
maxim g it a time of revelry, as is now the
custom. 1t would certainly be the red-letter
day of the year should Enoch Lincoln's ad-
vice be followed-should men Danish the
influence of vices to which they are addict
ed, correct the errors to which they are sub
ject, discharge the obligations they have in
CURED, extinguish the animosities they en-
tertain, forgive the injuries they have suf-
fered, and extend assistance and sympathy
to their fellows who may be in affliction.
The agitation in regard to the general OBJ
servance of Good Friday by all Christians
suggests the question whether Maine would
not do well to follow the example of Con-
necticut, change the date of the Fast from
Thursday to Friday and always appoint it
in the Holy Week of the Mother Church.
This might be done without subjecting the
State to the imputation of holding to the
superstitious observance of days, aud would
be fitting recognition of one of the most
momentous and interesting dates OF the
Chris tian calendar.
