PROMISED SENSATION AT THE CAPITOL.

rumor afioat about the capitol that

for discussion in congress. and after the
gushing Platonic members have relieved
themselves of their long pentup virtu-
Gus Indignation against the unholy-
though carbohydrates of the
barbalic polygamists of the sage brush
territory Of Utah, that a dynamite
bombshell is likely to be exploded, ex-
hibiting numerous picadillos on the
part Of certain monognatic congress
men who are expected to be loud in
their denunciations of that "twin relic
of barbarism," polygamy, and who hold
up their hands in holy horror at the
very mention of such vile and PERM
cious practices in tie wilds CT Utah. It
is said that emissaries in the interest OF
the Latter Day Saints" have been in
dustriously at work in their character
istic "still-hunt" way to find out the in.
dulgences and habits of numerous con-
gressmen who propose to belch forth
their thunder against the vile and sim
full polygamous customs Of the Nor
mons. If the rumor is founded on fact
look out for the sensation of the year.

And point YOU out tiny cloud.

And view that speck of all the sky!

And play at being man and wife,
And talk Of all the things they'll do

On Early Calls and Sudden Death.

And when the children shout at play,
Or peal of laughter break their chat.
Why do they grimly smile and say,

And boys are boys, and still will be;
So laugh, young people, while you may

Demand for Cows.

That there il scarcity of COWS in
this country is plain. Prices have been
gong higher for some time, and the
demand is sharp. There is no imme-
date prospects that lower prices will
rule very soon. The increasing con-
sumption Of dairy products at home
and abroad is one thing that keeps
prices high. Besides, there is a strong
er demand in towns and cities for good
mich cows than has been heretofore.
A large number of persons whose
means admit CT keeping COW for their
own use, prefer doing 80 than to pay
for milk largely diluted with water. An
exchange published west of us says
that butchers have nearly as much
trouble to get stock as the dealers, and
have to pay steadily stifienipg prices.
The shipments to Europe, and the
immensely increased demand for meat
in our own country, will shortly divert
the attention Of farmers in the Mississ-
ippi Valley more exclusively to the pro-
duction of beef and mutton, and less to
wheat. Our dairymen will have to
manage their COWS better, and get more
milk from a smaller number, until
they can raise some of their own, q
thing they will be obliged to do for
economic reasons. Farmers will have
to study up and apply the methods OF
business men il their business
and Heath.

JUSTICE HUNTS PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The passage
by the senate of the bill to retire Judge
Hunt, who for over five years has not
done days work, has set the gossips
at guessing as to his successor. 1t has
been the understanding for good while
that Senator Edmunds' chief ambition
in life was to occupy this place, and it
has been said that he was waiting for
Hunt to reach the age of retirement
before he made an effort to secure a
place on the bench. This bill, if it
passes the house, will bring on the
question year or two sooner than was
expected, and it is not known whether
this fact will make change in the plans
of Mr.. Edmunds friends or not. Yer
mont is in the New York circuit, which
Justice Hunt represents, and this was
the reason his friends did not push his
claims for the seat to which Judge Gray
has just been appointed. Some pre-
dict tt at Secretary Folger will be APP
pointed, but no one worthy OF consid-
GRAFTON can be found to seriously en-
tertaintain such an idea; on the con-
trary, there is the best reason to believe
that Secretary Folger intends to remain
at the head of his department for the
rest of the administration. The con-
test for the place will begin at once, and
there is no telling what will be the result.
While the friends of Mr.. Edmunds will
probably urge his claims, still it is more
than half likely that New York man
will be taken.

Cooked Meat for Fowls.

1t is too much the practice to feed
raw meat to poultry under the mistak-
en- idea that as the worms and insects
which they seize with such avidity are
uncooked, so should be any meat given
them by their owners.
But the early worm which Biddy
takes in her empty crop, soft, pulpy,
and crushed by the bill before it de-
sends the gullet, is one thing, and the
coarse, dry, stringy, fstless flesh thrown
to them sin the rough" and the tough
is quite another, even if the carcass of
horse or sheep SO bestowed is not still
more Objectionable on account OF dis
ease. True, these nearly "dry bones"
may serve to while away a weary hodr
in the monotonous life of the poultry
yard, and happily the fowls may labor
under the impression that they are eat
ing something. And so they may serve
a certain purpose in the poultry world.
But for real aid and comfort to the
fowls save all your refuse meat, and
buy in addition Oliver, LIGHTS, heart and
all, :" as the old story runs, from the
shambles, and boil all together for two
hours or more. Then chop finely and
mix with meal in the water in which
they are boiled. This dry, rich mess,
showing bits of meat, like the raisins
in plum pudding, will be q dish fit to
set before any queen of the (poultryl
harem," and she and her maids of hon

HE THINKS THEY ARE ALL HE CAN MAN
AGE WITHOUT GATHERING OTHER MEMS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-In the house,
to-day, Mr.. Burrows. of Michigan, said
" l regret exceedingly to ask the in
diligence of the house to make person
al explanation. I hold in my hand the
Detroit Post and Tribune of January
18th, the leading journal of my state,
in which l find brief editorial, mem
tioning the bills introduced by men,
bers from my state, which editorial reads
as follows: "To issue postal cards, by
Mr.. Horr: to make wives competent
witnesses in trial for bigamy in the ter
ritoiies, by Mr.. Willitts; to retire ma
tional bank notes, by Mr.. Burrows" In
the report of the proceedings of that
day by the associated press, under the
head Of bills, / find myself recorded as
issuing bill to retire national bank
notes. By referring to the Congressional
Record of the proceedings of that day
at page IS, it will be seen that the only
bill / introduced was house bill 1876,
to enable the secretary of the interior,
to make final settlement with the In
dams of Michigan and Indiana under
existing treaty stipulations. On the
same page of the Record it will be OBJ
served that Mr.. Burrows, of Missouri,
introduced bill mo. 1873 to retire
national bank notes. can readily un-
derstand how the mistake occurred,

I9IT TREASON OR NOT?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The unrebuk-
ed and startling charge Of conspiracy
against President Arthur and the lead
ing stalwarts, made by Scoville last
week has been the sensation of the
capital. 1t will be remembered that
he said: "When the Vice President of
the United States left his high position
and went to Albany and prostituted his
place and his talent and his influence
towards the fomenting and spreading
of this quarrel and controversy in the
Republican party, he deserved the con-
domination of every citizen CT this Re-
public. And that conduct site Ks to him
yet, and will until he and General Grant
and Senator Conkling, in all their pride,
in all their ambition, shall come out
openly and plainly before the public,
through letter or declaration Of some
kind, and say that this warfare which
they waged on President Garfield was
unwarranted and was disgraceful TO
them as citizens Of the Republic, hold
ing the high positions which they held.
These men conspired to get Garfield out OF
The aody. They are his murderers. They
induced this poor lunatic (Guiteau) to
do the act"
This formidable charge was brought
in crowded court room before Judge
and jury and the distinguished mem
bers of the government and bar who
were present. 1t went unrebuked. 1t
created q sensation nevertheless. A
buzz of astonishment ran over the as
sembly, and when the court closed the
OF
"Why, if that is not treason" said
government official tonight, cit ought
to be 30 declared. Mr.. Scoville made
direct charge, as l understand it, that
the President of the United States was
one of those who melted the murder
of his predecessor Worse, he charges
that the President is now the head of a
conspiracy to cover up that awful
c ime of murder by the hanging of an
innocent man. This is outrageous. l
wonder the court should permit such
an outrage upon decency. There are
others, however, who are quite as ready
to defend Scoville. One of these,
prominent enemy of the administra-
ton, said, when the subject came up
"The defense struck the keynote to-
day. If Guiteau is sane his deed was
malicious and attaches only to himself.
If he is insane the men or circum-
stances, or both, tnat played upon his
diseased mind are responsible for the
crime. It is plainly the interests of the
administration to hang Guiteau as q
sane man. Everybody can see that.
1t is plain that the government is
making every effort to do it. Every
body can see that. The logic Of Sco-
vile is unanswerable, but il is harsh
and coarsely put. 1t is shocking. And
yet it is no more than has been set up
in the newspapers"

A Boy -Peddler's Strange Whim.

The boy -peddler, with twenty-nine
fine suits of clothing, twenty-four over
coats and thirty-three pair of kid
gloves, has his home in Reading, Pa,
and is we'll known to all travelling COM
mercial men who get along that wav.
Periodically the boy breaks out in local
advertiser ents announcing an addition
to his extensive wardrobe, as follows:
"Thomas Jefferson Cummings has the
honor to announce that ne has Just
added another suit to his fall afternoon
wear, and now his fine wardrobe con-
sists of forty fashionable full suits,
twenty-four over-coats," etc, 1t is his
boast that he can appear on the street
every day in the month and wear a
different full suit of clothing each day
and allow at least three changes on
Sunday. Cummings is about eighteen
years of age, peddles notions, with a
basket on his arm, helps to support a
widowed mother pays cash for all he
gets, sells close and works hard.
On the streets of Reading his appear
ance is that of Beau Brummel. His
dress is exceedingly loud, his weakness
running to green kid gloves, corn
colored ribbons, pink eyeglasses and
silk hats of the latest style. In the
country, on business, his appearance is
that of poor, humble, meek and low
| " Hebrew, and his customary saluta-
ton to the people he calls on is:
Have pity on poor boy and help
him along" The young man is ex-
ceedingly kind, attable and agreeable
and succeeds in selling large quantities
of goods at very fair prices. The farm.
ers have strong liking for him, and
when they visit Reading on business
