Who Will It Be?

Speculation is rife as to who will be the
choice Of the Senate for its president,
when the extra session convenes at the
call of President Arthur. Politically the
senate stands, democrats 81, Republicans
30, and one independent Davis of Illinois,
and it is said he will vote with the Repub-
licans upon organization, but then the
democrats would have majority of one
II the two Senators from New York and
one from Rhode Island could be sworn in
before the organization, the Republicans
would have majority, but the organiza-
ton must be necessarily effected first.
Bayard is talked Of, and Anthony, the lat
ter though with view to effect compro-
mise, as the Republicans will be in the
majority in both houses AS soon as the
new members elect are seated, and but lit
tie could be gained with democratic pre-
siding officer for the democrats, with the
members and entire subordinate officiary
Republicans, hence the considerate men
OF both sides are talking compromise.
Some of the leading democrats have earn
estly suggested the plan Of clccting Re-
publican president of the Senate upon a
return of the compliment by selecting a
democratic sergeant at arms, and this
seems fair proposition, and it is reason
able to suppose that President whose
pofical sympathies are allied with admin
istration would occasion better harmony
than to chose one whose honest sentiments
politically would clash with the majority
There is one happy feature withal the
dark surroundings, caused by the terrible
national calamity, and that is, the period
Of prosperity and commercial activity bids
fair to continue. Stocks, railroad and
other, have not been affected, public
works, railway extensions and enterprises
that require large amounts of borrowed
capital, do not lag, and in fact the general
business interests and pursuits are not
even threatened with panic, that some
thought liable to follow. This bespeaks
the confidence the people have in our
government, and in the integrity of the
men called to administer its affairs, while
the hearts of a loving people have reused,
while the opportunity for uuprincipled
ones to reap a rich return for fostering
and preclpitating commercial panic and
national disaster has been. 1t seems as il
the better judgements of men has prevail.
ed, and a universal sentiment for peace
and maintenance Of much loved govern
ment lies above all other consideratives

presidents who bore that name have been
assassinated.

POULTRY YARD.

To breed the healthiest, strongest chicks
we must use for a breeder a cock which is in
perfect health and condition, and it is fire.
quently necessary to keep the intended bird
separate from the hens until his services are
needed. A cock of the heavier breeds is fire.
quently unable to properly serve the hens
with which he is mated, so as to produce the
strongest chicks, if he has been mated all
winter and has become sluggish. 1t is very
possible to this lack of separation that we
owe the failure to hatch which sometimes so
seriously annoys f~anciers, and which, by retro
active reasoning, has caused 80 many to use
cockerels instead of older birds for breeders.
We suggest that great care be exercised in
packing eggs for transit, by all who sell this
article for Matching. 1t is expressly annoy
ing to purchasers to find the eggs they pay
"fancy prices" for are worthless-from any
cause. Each egg should be wrapped in sep
arate soft paper, and all should be packed in
chaff, short hay, dry sawdust, or bran, so that
they will neither shake about in the box nor
come in contact with each other EN- route.
Rightly packed, fresh, fertile eggs will bear a
good deal of handling, and still, after a long
journey, hatch satisfactorily. Hundreds and
thousands of dozens annually hatch we'll after
being transported several hundred miles.

GOOD READING.

can catch the drift of a boys mind and
character by tumbling out before him promls-
cuously a lot of books better perhaps than in
any other way and it is while a boy is read
ing books in which he is interested that he
is shaping what his life will be-. l know a
boy very well who is not far removed from
my own family, who has developed a remark
able fondness for the sciences, and all from
reading a popular series of books treating on
water, heat, electricity, and other matters of
that kind, each of which is worked into a
story.

ANOTHER

A method for teaching children read
ing, spelling and writing all at once has
been practiced by a teac- -: in the west.
She prepares on a slip f cardboard a
word which may be made the principal
n in a short sentence, as, for instance,
"dog." The word is written and printed
upon the slip, so that the pupil may
learn the elements of penmanship with
reading and spelling. The scholars are
made to read, spell and write this word
until they have learned it thoroughly.
Then another slip with the word "the"
upon it is given them, and they are
taught its meaning, use and relation.
Other words are given in the same way,
and the scholar is then taught to put
them together to make sentences. Thus,
in every new word that comes up the
scholar is interested, and his interest is
preserved all through.

Preduces-a Fig mt Among the
ms

A correspondent of the Mdependent-Mr.
Sam E. "~ell-writing from Martinsdale
under date of of the 18th, gives an account of
an Indian fight which occurred near the
writer's place on the 18th or 10Th. Too much
rum appears to haYe been the cause of the
row. No whites were engaged in the fight
the Indians having all the fun among them
selves. One FlatEead was killed and another,
at last accounts having failed to make his ap-
pearance, was reported as lost. Mr.. Elwell
was lying sick with the mumps while the
battle ragged, and kept his old Winchester
rifle in bed with him ready for use in case he
should be attacked. but fortunately for him
self as we'll as the redskins he was not dis
turbed.
