For Grant.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 3.-The house in
its morning session, adopted the following
resolution by a strict party vote without de-
bate, the Republicans ordering the pre-
vious question and all voting for the resolu-
luton
WHEREAS. The people of Illinois feel a

and vice-president, It now had everything to
do with It. The makeshift proposed, like
that Of the electoral commission of 1915,
showed that In the most important matter
that could confront us, the law Of succession,
the people of the United States were to-day
without law. He did not know what was to
be the politics of the next four years. We
were going to start out with a republican
house, but if any man could tell him what the
senate was to be after March 4th he was a
wiser man than himself. (Laughter).
After commenting on the almost equal nu-
merical strength Of the tive great prrties, as
shownb by the late election, Garfield having
received the votes of nineteen states and Han
cock the votes of exactly the same number,
the only difference being that the former had
more electoral votes, Blaine remarked that he
thought the severest strain to which this
country had been subjected, aside from the
war of the rebellion, was the election troubles
of 1876, and he doubted whether, ii the pres
idential term had been ten years, the coun-
try would have survived the strain. The fact
that the case might be tried over again four
years thereafter was a great advantage to us.
The shorter the periods between our elections
the more contented the people to accept their
results, and for this reason the politics of
those states which hold elections annually
are more peaceful than where biennial cleo
tons are held.
Morgan rebuked Blaine for mot bringing
forward such propositions as he defined or
even making these remarks when they were
more timely.
Blaine said That he wished to give notice
that If all extra session of congress was held
he would move for a committees to sit during
recess to consider and report by the first Mon
day in December, a remedy for this evil. He
would also suggest that the committee be
composed of two republicans, two democrats,
and the senator from Illinois (Davis) for
chairman of the committee. Laughter.
II would thus be organized, to say the least,
as fairly as was the electoral commission.
Blaine went on to enumerate the chang $ in
the law which he thought such a commission
ought to recommend. He would so modify
the present system as to require the names of
the presidential candidates, instead of those
of the electors, to be printed on the ballots.
and establish the district system.
A vote being taken on Eaton's amendment,
it was rejected, ayes ~, nays 33. The vote
was not a party one, nor a test of the senate
upon the merits of the proposed amendment.
The affirmative responses largely came from
the republican side.
The resolution reported by Morgan as a
substitute for the original resolution en- the
subject was adopted on a uica roce vote.
The pension appropriation bill was taken
up. Adjourned.

The Flood.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-Marysville has
not been flooded, the town escaping by a
scratch. Sacramento is for the present safe,
and may escape inundatiOn, as it is supposed
the height of the waters have been reached,
though another freshet is %announced from the
mountains. Several times to-day the Sacra-
mento and American rivers we're even with
the levees around the city, but by bulk-head-
ing and with sand bags, etc., the overflow
was stayed, and at the present writing, s p.
IN, all danger is believed to be over at Sac
ramento. That city and Marysville are the
only towns of any consequence in a district
of 100 miles long and 40 miles wide that have
not been overlooked.
A dispatch from CORTLAND says At $3.50
p. IN. to-day the Sacramento river broke over
the levee and flooded the town aud adjacent
country, and the destruction of property is
very great. Dispatches say that the towns OF
Oroville and Beggs, in Butte county, are
overlooked.

Trade-Marks.

The Importance of law that would pro.
tect trademarks is receiving marked atten-
ton from the business public as well as from
Congress, the brands on some goods adding
largely to their commercial value, because
their merit il known TO the consumer, and
the buyer looks to trade mark as constituting
his security. Thus the Gorham trade mark
on sterling silyerware; Colgates' mark to in
dictate the various grades of their soaps and
toilet goods, has also very high commercial
value. The CHARTER OAK STOVE has q
peculiar value of its own which so distin-
guishes it from all others that it has acquired
very large commercial value. LorilIard
Tobaccos arc goods that the consumer asks
for In the same way. The law cannot be too
severe in protecting honest manufacturers.
The burning of the great stove works gave
dealers some excuse for substituting other
stoves for the CHARTER OAK, but now that
the CHARTER OAK factory is at work again
turning out over 200 stoves = day, the trade
can get their orders filed promptly, and the
year 1881 bids fair to surpass all previous
years in the demand for the famous CHARTER
OAK make. (4-2S)

A Forest Scene Beside the Amazon.

On the third evening after our de.
parture from Bogota, we encamped on
the banks OF the Rio Patamayo a trib.
utary OF the Amazon), in a grove OF
majestic adansonias, or monkey fio.
trees. High over our heads we heard
an incessant grunting and chatterino.
but the evening was too far advances
Tor us to distinguish the little creatures
that moved in the top branches of the
tall trees. The next morning, however.
the noise recommended, and we saw
That the grunters were a sort of small
raccoons, and the chatterers a troop of
nsoaos, or capuchin monkeys.
After consultation with the Indians
we fastened our monkey, Billy, to a
string. and made him go up the tree as
high as we could drive him without
betraying our presence to his relatives.
We had no traps for catching them, but
our plan was to let them come near
enough for US to shoot one of tae
mothers without hurting her babies.
Billy's rope, as we had expected. got
entangled before long, and, finding him
self at the end of his tether, he began
to squeal, and his cries soon attracted
the attention of his friends in the tree
top. We heard a rustling in the
branches, and presently an old rng-tail
made his appearance, and, seeing a
stranger, his chattering at once brought
down a troop of his companions. mostly
old males. though. Mother monkeys
with babies are very shy, and those in
the tree-top seemed to have some idea
that all was not right.
Their husbands, though, came nearer
and nearer and had almost reached
Billy's perch, when all at once their
leader slipped behind the tree and like
a lodging squirrel, and at the same
moment we heard from above a fierce.
scream; harpy-eagle was
circling around the tree-top, and COM
ing down with sudden sweep, he
seized one luckless mother monkey that
had not found time to reach hiding
place. The poor thing held on to her
branch with all her might, knowing
that her life and her baby's were at
stake, but the eagle caught her bv the
throat and his throttling clutch at last I
made her relax her grip, and with a
single flop of his mighty wings the
happy raised himself some twenty feet.

on molehill, stumbled, and for a mo,
ment threw his company out of line as

mistake was not noticed by the Colonel
OF the regiment; but at the close of the
review the Prince, after addressing his
sincerest compliments to the Generals
OF the different army corps, said, laugh.

Improvement in Grain.

The universal progress that is being
made all over the country in the increase
OF quantity, and the augmentino of the
different cereals, does not find its coun-
terpart in a corresponding increase of
quality in these grains. 70 great ex-
tent an increase of quality will be of
vast benefit in physical sense, for a
better grain makes better food, and
SO contributes to our better endowment
OF things earthly. As a rule, not a
farmer in a hundred ever makes any
attempt to improve the character of his
corn or wheat, and that the more pop
ular kinds of now produced wheat
would never have been attempted ex-
cept from expectancy of increased weld
is developed. Unless the precaution of
a studied method is persisted in to i'm
prove this quality, it is safe to saw that
an increased yield is always at the ex-
pense OF this to be desired quality, and
is. in the end, less remunerative than a
less quantity with better quality.
III IS useless to argue that If persist
ent effort were made by farmers uni
versally vast Improvement could be
made in our grain, for the farmer could
better breed a grain exactly suited to
his soil, than to spend years in irving
to find grain that. without adapta.
ton, would thrive and produce well
upon his farm. In this Improvement of
grains the farmer is far behind the
gardener, horticulturist and stock
breeder, who are engaged in bringing
up their specialties to the highest point
Of perfection in both quality and GUAM
tity. Poor stock brings reduced profit. |
and as the tendency Of poor stock is to
produce yet poorer offspring, the same |
rule applies to the grains. A gain in |
quality OF even few dollars per acre |
pays for the culture of the crop, and |
IS the laws that govern the cereals are
simple and easy of application. and also
'over the running out" of crops, it is
worth while for the farmers to look well |
nto this matter and make it subject
i study and profit as well. Cfersiapl
