The senate Il to Is and the house
12S to sc. 1t created great excitement
ID Washington. The excitement also
extended rapidly to the larger cities.
The New York Tribune says of it: The
overwhelming vote in both houses
illustrates how thoroughly the greatest
swindle of the age has corrupted the
American congress. There was some
thing actually appalling in the manner
IN which the veto was trampled under
foot. It was as if lot of highwaymen,
angered by the refusal of the victim to
dlsgOrge, had shot him down in mad
haste and rified the corpse. Thus was
consummated the boldest, most auda-
cious and unscrupulous robbery in
modern history. 1t was absolutely with
out the shadow of palliation. Every
man who voted for the brazen nineteen
million-dollar-swindle deserves the CEN

nothing short of political crime to
vote to return one of this corrupt crowd

THE EGYPTIAN WAR.
Occupation Of the SueZ Canal by the
Britfsh-Other News from the Front.

BfIttsh-Other News from the Front.
ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 9.-The English
troops made q reconnaissance in force
Saturday, against Arab, attacking the
advance guard near Ramleh and firing
on the enemy's position from three
sides. The English account relates
that ''tne enemy were driven in from
all their advanced posts and compelled
available in front Of their principl
lines of entrenchm ents at Z afr ell
Dwar-namely, four hattalions of in
fantry, force of cavalry and several
guns. The latter were completely
silenced by the accurate fire of the
forty-pounder. The Egyptian infantry
held their ground with considerable
steadiness. The marines on the rail-
road, who were under the immediate
control of Gen. Alison, pushed the
enemy back upon their second line of
intrenchments toward Karf-el-D var.
The marines, supported by the South
StatfOrdshire regiment and rifles, suf-
fered somewhat, but behaved with the
greatest coolness and steadiness under
a heavy fire. The object of the British
operations, which was 10 compel the
enemy to display what force and what
guns they had in front of the main
position, was completely attained. This
was ascertained by nightfall, when the
British were slowly and steadily with
drawn. No accurate account Of the
killed and wounded is yet obtainahle.
Tue enemy's loss is unknown. A
large number of the wounded fell into
the hands of the British. Many dead
were seen. A considerable number of
the enemy were made prisoners.
THE sUEx CANAL.
1t is reported at Ismalia that Arab
Pasha has ordered four thousan4
troops to approach the canal. The
Spanish frigate Carmen had arrived at
Port Said and was about to enter the
canal. The British were preparing

supply of water.

Cruelty to Animals.
La Crosse Chronicle.

Yesterday morning a man from the
lower part of the city, called on Captain
Hatch, and informed him that team
ster living near DIR. Renggley's farm,
was driving horse that went on three
legs. Mr.. Hatch's first question was
Glow long has this thing been going
on?" "About two weeks" was the reply.
'tAnd you never said word all this
timer said the officer. "Oh, that wasn't
my business!" responded the informer.
So for two weeks this phenominal case
has gone its course, because it wasn't
tho business of any Of the scores Of
people who were knowing to it. The
brutal offender, whose name is Michael
Barrandt has drawn his usual load,
made the animal trot when it pleased
him, and in ali ways got out when Of
it the work of a sound horse. He was
brought into court and trihing fine
imposed, but sufficient perhaps to pre-
vent repetition of the offence though
certainly inadequate considered as a
punis hment.

IT is said that fourteen million bu-
shells of sweet potatoes will be in Geor-
eia this season, and how to dispose of
the crop is problem. Two attempts
ut solution are mentioned in The Allan
ia Constitution. One is that freight rates
be made low enough to make western
shipments profitable. The total crop
weighs nearly half a million tons, and
to carry such freight should be an
object to any company which could
handle it and take it TO market, where
fair prices are sure to obtain. The
other solution is to use an evaporator
and dry the potato, by which operation
only about 10 per cent. of the weight
is lost.

The Late Carl Hoffman

Carl Hoffman, for many years chief
editor of the Wiener Tdge5ZOh who died
the other day at Vienna, down to his
last hour wore upoa the forehnger of his
right hand an iron ring which, some
three decades ago, he had made for him
out of a link of chain he had borne as
a political-prisoner throughout two
long and weary years of incarceration,
varied by hard labor. When Win
dichgraetz entered Pesth in January,
1849, one of his first acts was to arrest
hoffman, then q lad OF 19, and have
him tried for treason by court martial.
Sentenced to five years penal servitude
in Bohemian fortress, he was COMPEL
ed to march to his prison-house by a
roundabout route, communications be-
tween Pesth and Vienna being at that
time somewhat precarious. It was an
unusually severe winter; but Hoffman
with several other political convicts,
had TO trudge through the snow, day
after day and week after week, without
change of clothing and wretchedly
shod, all through Croatia, across the
Alps into Styria, ..and again over the
Semmering pass over lower Austria.
By the time he arrived in Vienna
his feet were both badly frost-bitten,
Notwithstanding which he was then
heavily ironed' and forwarded on to
Konlggratz. In that fortress he remain
ed for two years in strict confluence ent,
his only recreation being from time to
time bout of street-sweeping in fet-
tiers. This relief to the monotony of
dungeon life he enjoyed in good COM
pany. His fellow sweepers, were for
the most part, Magyar nobiemen and
gentlemen of high fashion.

IT is thought that the demand for q
cheap insulating material has been met
by discovery Of method by which
wood, sawdust, cotton waste, paper
pulp, and other fbrous substancas can
be converted into material perfectly
impervious to moisture and acids
easily nodded under pressure into any
shape, and capable of being worked OF
cut into any form. This material is an
excellent nonconductor of electricity
and can be used for all forms of battery
cells, telegraph insulators, supports for
electric-hght leads, and telephone work.
1t affords the means of securing per
feet insulation at very much less cost
than ebonite or gutta percha.

IT is said that alcohol equal to that
made from grain can be produced from
acorns. The acorns are freed from the
shell and ground finely: then they are
mashed with malt and allowed to fer
ment. Acorns contains twenty per
cent. of starch and Is per cent. of glut-
en-. They would be s. valuable article
for human food if it were not for the
tannic acid (about3 8 per cent? which
they contain. Vast quantities which

not fed in the woods. might be gather

for the use of th2 arts, thus freeing an
equivalent amount of grain for use as
food. Or some young student OF prac'

JERUSALEM artichokes have long been
known as most valuable addition to
the ration of hogs, but the fact that
they are even more valuable as an adj
dition to the diet of cattle seems TO be
less generally recognized. They are
hardy, yield fair crops on poor and
very large ones on rich soil; are more
nutritious than the potato, and once
planted there will be no need for re-
planting, as they are not easily got out
Of piece of land after they have be-
come established.
