The Rage for Sealskins.

Some thirty years ago seaiskin was
common enough. Boxes were covered
with it, gloves and driving rugs were
made of it, costermongers and cabmen
cut their caps from it. Then came a
time when some cunning furrier discov-
cred how to dye it a rich dark brown,
and to give it that exquisite soft and
downy texture which is its chief charm.
At once ladies adopted the luxury. 1t
was soon found that for cloaks, jackets,
muffs, dainty little hats, collars, cuffs,
bags, portemonnaies, for thousand
other articles of feminine use, it was the
most delightful, the most beautiful, the
most indispensable of all possible ma
terials. The demand for it increased
with rapidity almost marvellous, and
the fashion, instead Of wearing itself
out, has, if anything, steadily increased.
Indeed, the best Alaska sealskins, like
the furs of the sable, the silver fox and
the Russian sea otter, command an al-
together fancy price, and handsome
Jacket of close texture and uniform col
or. with no white hairs to break the
continuation of its tint, will fetch as
many guineas as fve-and-twenty years
ago It would have fetched half-crowns.
The result is that the luckless seals have
had waged against them, now for several
years, what practically amounts to a
war of determination.

siding the Farmers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Tbe house COM
mittee on agriculture has commenced consid-
Grafton of the estimates for the agricultural
Appropriation bills. The commissioner asks
for 100000 for collecting and distributing
monthly statistical reports. Last yearsthe
appropriation was $4,000. There is a strong
disposition on the part of several members of
the committee to increase the appropriation so
that the department may inform immediate
growers of crops from time to time as to the
condition of the same throughout the coun-
try in order that farmers may have
the benefit of the knowledge now
monopolized by boards of trade, and that they,
(the farmers,) may judge for themselves
whether or not it would be to their advantage
to hold or sell gain. Chairman Valentine
says the committee will probably recommend
legislation ON this subject which will meet
with the approval of the house. The COM
mittee will dispose of the appropriation bill
before looking up any other business. Com
missioner LOring will tomorrow explain to
the committee his request for increased appro-
priations, and wilb Intercepted principally
upon the subject of distribution of monthly
crop reports.

Counting Electoral Votes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Pugh has
bill which he will introduce the first oppor-
tunity, to make it criminal offense for any
person to frame and get up simulated elector-
al returns from state. The object of the
bill is TO prevent contests over electoral re-
turns for the purpose of conplicating count
of the vote with view of political advantage
and to confine such contests to legal grounds.
In almost every presidential election there are
bogus electoral returns sent IN and this bill is
intended to prevent this by making the parties
to them responsible and amenable to criminal
punishment. There is evidently disposition
on the part of the senate to pass law at this
session to regulate and control the counting
of electoral votes, and it IS believed the house
will readily take up the subject. Senator's of
both parties agree that bill of this character
will be passed at the present session. They
say that now, with the next presidential cleo
ton nearly three years off, political consdera-
tions and party expedients will not in
fuence congressional action as they naturally
do when the election is near at hand.
Some democratic senators are now strongly
in favor of Senator Edmund's bill which passed
the senate of the forty fifth congress. Sena-
tor Pugh for one says no better bill could be
framed. 1t provides that each State may re-
gulate its own method of deciding a contro-
yersy over election returns, by laws passed
prior to the origin of such controversies, and
that States decision shall be final and con-
elusive. In the last congress this bill did not
meet with democratic favor because the demo-
Gratis were then in majority IN both houses
of congress and naturally they wanted to keep
control Of court decisions and of contests in
congress, because the election of 1880 was just
ahead. The indications are that Edmunds'
bill will have considerable democratic support,
sufficient at all events to pass It through the
senate. Ia connection with this subject an
event of interest in relation to the count Of
1875 has been recalled by number of the DEM
ocratic congressman, who were comforting
with regard to the importance of the legsla-
tion of this session, to regulate the counting
OF electoral votes. A democratic senator who
was then in the senate stated that in 1875 Sen
ator Morton's bill prescribing method for
count passed the senate receiving several
democratic votes.

Suicidal Mania.

W. G. Fl. aged so, laborer, who
had four times attempted, at last COM
mitted, suicide by drowning himself; o
brother had drowned himself at the same
spot; asister poisoned herself, and another
sister attempted suicide. Among the
800 cases I find but two in
which heredity may be suspected,
though have not usually made inquiries
as to this point. One man had an uncle
who had poisoned himself, and grand
father who cut his throat, both under
the influence Of drink, and a woman said
her father had blown his brains out
about year before her attempt to poison
herself. The temperament and dispo-
sitions, however, which prompt or incline
to suicide are no doubt matters Of trans
mission from parents who have not
taught or transmitted the power Of self
government OF the reverence for life
which they themselves did not possess.
Secondly, I can not doubt but that the
sentimental glamor thrown over suicide
by some poets and novelists has had an
evil result, which they would be eager
to deprecate. I distinctly assert, for
example, my belief that the poem OF
T. Hood, :" The Bridge of Signs, %
written with the sole object Of evoking
charity for the despised, has yet, with a
certain class, tinged suicide with halo
of romance, and afforded justification
of cowardice and crime to the unreasoning
and hysterical. Thirdly, many Of the
attempts that have come under my notice
are distinctly attributable to the ordinary
violent exaggerated language Of parents,
perhaps especially mothers, of the poorer
classes. sI'll break every bone in your
body" is the ordinary way OF
expressing displeasure at some trivial
offense of child; and no one who has
been forced to overhear 'a few family
words" will wonder how that deed OF
violence, which is threatened with no
intention whatever of accomplishment,
becomes in less-guarded moment the
suggestion of crime which is familiar
in language, though never really contem-
plated hitherto in act. Brought up lis
an atmosphere Of threats against life,
what wonder if children proceed from
the sin Of word to that of deed Fort

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Immediately after

mtted resolutions of respect for the memory
of his late colleague, Senator P. Burnside.
Eulogies were delive. ed by Senator's Az.
thOny, Edmunds, Harrison, Jones, Hale and
Aldrich. Senator Hampton paid a beautiful
tribute to Burnside's bravery in the field, his
magnanimity in peace and patriotic efforts
after the close of the war in reconcilating the
two sections, which he said with his gentle
and noble nature, had for him the respect, es-
TEEN and affection of his colleagues.
The resolutions were adopted by unani-
nous vote and as additional mark of respect
for the memory of the deceased, the senate
adjourned.

Something About Bricks.

In the antiquity of the brick as q
building material, says the Builder, it is
needless, nor is it. indeed our intention,
to insist. The great national collections
of Europe, the British Museum foremost
in number, show us bricks, sun dried
and baked, from the ruins at Ninevah,
and from the days of that city to the
present moment bricks have never
ceased..to be an important instrument in
the hands Of the builder. That through
out Asia Minor they were largely en-
ployed we have seen, only very recently,
proved in these columns, N. Bayet, in
his work on Miletus, having shown that
the far-famed palace of Cresus was
built Of no more costly materials than
honest bricks. What those bricks were,
and their quality: are ever to this day
appreciated by the natives, who for
many centuries have plundered the
ruins to build or to patch up their own
even more rr1inous houses. The use Of
bricks among the Romans, who largely
employed them as building materials,
as we see in the familiar instance of the
Temple of Concord, has been more than
once the subject of the inquiry Of indus
trious antiquaries, for the Romans were
not content with producing the flat, tile
ike brick which is so often to be met
with in the lower portions of antique
structures scattered over the empire,
and that are known in England, but
their bricks were indelibly stamped with
the mark of their maker the names Of
the reigning Consuls. and sometimes the
year. From this source, then, more
than one patient arch@ologist has gath
cred rich store Of information. But
few inquirers have ventured far on the
apparently arid and difficult road, which
has hence remained little explored.
