A NATIONAL BANK QUESTION.

The question of making the bill extend-
ing sthe charters of National banks a
special order for April 25th, again came up
to-day and was fought by several Demo
Gratis, although Mr.. Randall and several OF
his party friends seemed willing to give
the bill chance if certain amendments
were allowed These Mr.. Crapo was will
ing to concede, and tho bill would have
been allowed to become special order, as
Mr.. Flower, of New York, Mr.. Hardenbaugh,
of New Jersey, and Mr.. Wilson, of West
Virginia, all spoke in favor OF considera-
ton, but Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, struck in
with his silver coinage howl, and Mr.. Cobb,
of Indiana, indulged in u lot of tiresome
demagogy, denouncing national banks as
monopolies of capital and "ferninst" labor
ing men and farmers, and managed to stir
up enough partisan spirit to prevent the
two-thirds' vote necessary for suspension.
AS the Republicans have determined to
consider this bill this session, and us ''sus-
pension" day comes but once month, it
is barely possible that such Democrats as
Cobb and Bland will keep Congress here
until midsummer.

ar Oyenereble Daniel Peck, ESQ, OF

THE Venerable Daniel Peck, Esq, OF
this city, was member of the constitution
al convention that framed the present or
ganic law of Ohio in 1851. Happening to
meet with him yesterday on the street We
inquired of him whether it was fact that
the Democrats had majority in the
constitutional convention, and had pnt
into the organic law the clause that has
prohibited license in that State for the last
thirty vears. eyes" said Mr.. Peck, "that
is the case. 1t was Democratic body,
and they did put that clause into the con-
stitution. 1 myself was Wing, repre-
senting Belmont county at that time in
conjunction with the late Judge Ken
non, but the convention had
a majority of Democrats" Ohio
was a Democratic State in 1851, and voted
the next year, 1852, forthe Democratic can
didate for President-Franklin Pearce.
The prohibition clause was, it seems, sub
mitted IN the schedule as a separate pro-
vision, in the following words: mo license
to traffic in Intoxicating liquors shall
hereafter be granted in this State; but the
general assembly may by law provide
against evils resulting therefrom." This
prohibitory clause against license was sub
mitted as separate provision, and was
adopted at the election at which the con-
stitution was ratified We make a note OF
this information for the benefit of such
Democrats as are bowling over the Pond
law and the Sunday closing law. They are
trying to persuade Germans of the hos
tility of the Republican party because oftle
passage of said laws, when it is matter OF
history that their own party put the sweep
ing prohibitory clause that we have quoted
in the Constitution OF the State. The Pond
law is not measure OF prohibition, but of
taxation, whereas the constitutional clause
is entirely prohibitory in its character. 1t
will be well for the Ohio Germans to inter-
rogate Democratic missionaries as TO the
record when they come around with croco-
die tears in their eyes over the passage OF
the Pond bill. Their affectation OF con-
Germ in the matter is a sham and fraud.

How Salmon Are Caught.

Salmon are caught by what is called
"the fishing Wheel" This device con-
sists of a jetty of rocks built out from a
point IN the shore of the river, outside
of which is a planked sluice-way. in
which M undershot wheel with large
tank buckets r~eyolves. The ~sluice-way
was built when the river was at its low
est stage of water, and the wheel is hung
30 that it can be raised or lowered, as
may be desired, according to stage of
water. The instinct of the salmon is TO
u up the river alongside of the banks
instead of mid-channel. By this the
fish can take advantage of the eddies
below iutting points Of land. On these
projecting points the Indians have been
from time ~immemorial taking salmon in
large numbers by using dip-nets. The
jetty built out from tie point above
named makes a larger and longer slack
water behind it, and The salmon round
ing the point rush into the sluice-way to
get up the river. LII the ~sluice-way the
wheel, which revolves in the current, is
gagged so as to sweep within a foot Of
the bottom. and the salmon are scooped
up in the tanks or buckets, which latter
let out the water as they ascend. On
the wheel descending the fish are thrown
out into a through or gutter, leading to
a pen below, where they remain until
taken away to be canned. The arrange
ment of the sluice-wheel, etc, is q most
successful one, the catch of the adult
salmon, which are the only ones canned.
running from 1900 to 1000 per day.
There is virtually no expense in taking
the fish a V attending TO the pen.

The Electricity of a Young Couple
Utilized.

Since the electric light has proved a
success for the lighting of large build
lngs, 1t has occurred to a scientific man
that electricity could be used Oh wheeled
vehicles. He knew by experience that
there was always more or less electricity
wasted-for instance, when a Young
couple is out riding 50 he experimental.
The scientist had learned that a certain
young man had engaged a buggy at /.
livery stable for the evening; so he
brbed the livery man to allow him to
experiment on the buggy. The Young
lclentlst put a small electric lamp on the
sower part Of the dashboard out of sight
OF the driver, and ran small copper wires
to the back of tie seat. 1t is wen
known to the student Of nature that
when q brunette young man and blonde
g1rl, who act as the pc, tive and mega
tlye-that is, he is positive he will put
his arm around her, and she negatives
the arrangement along at first, until
after dark-there is a certain electric
current established, small ia itsolf. but
OF great power if properly husbandcd.
1t Is like your arm getting asleep or hit
ting your funny bone on the arm of a
rocking chair. Well, this wire was
placed so that the arms of the Young
people would touch it. just rs they
were passing the toll gate, they began
to snug up, and the little electric lamp
began to throw out light. 1t went un-
der the horses feet and lit up the road
Tor several rods, and the young people
were almost as astonished as the horse
was. They thought there was some
body following them with a lantern, and
they Strengthened up ard the light went
out. Every little while they would get
near together and kiss each other slyly
and squeeze, and Immediately the light
would blaze up. The girl was real
frightened and insisted on the Young
man sitting on his side of the buggy.
and he was a little frightened the first
few times that the light fared mp; but
as he had come out to hug, he was 90.
ing to hug If it turned the night into
day; SO he went to lying to her about
the horse being a phosphorus horse.
lie SAID there were some horses so full
of phosphorus hat when they got
warmed mp a little from driving they
shed light all around. Then they got
nearer and the electricity again ap,
peared, and for an hour they rode along
in the evening by the bright light. The
young scientist passed them a number
of times i'll another buggy, and he is so
well satisfied with the experiment that
he will apply for a patent. The young
lady was very much annoyed at the
queer light, and while she cannot say
that she did not enjoy the ride she has
requested her escort to be careful mex,
time and not get a phosphorus horse.
The young man, when he got back to
the stable, told the livery man that TIM.
was the lightest rig he ever drove, aud h.
wanted a calcium light the next time he
took his girl out. They will know what
caused the light when they read this.
1t is going SO there is electricity in every
thing.
