CONGRESS- House after voting not
to have holiday recess voted to have a
holiday recess. The Senate therefore
proceeded to vote the way the House voted
the first time, and so the joint resolution
to adjourn over was lost. Senator Gar.
land tried to have the Senate vote to let
the House adjourn while keeping in session
itself, but his new constitutional interprc-
tation, which indeed appears to be good
enough, was not adopted. The result of
it all is that the House is without a
quorum, and that it adjourned from Satur
day to Wednesday and the Senate did the
sumo thing. The civil service bill was
fully discussed in the Senate and an
understanding had that it should be voted
on at the sitting to day. 1t is thought
that it will pass the Senate and that the
House will amend it, taking part Of the
Pendleton Senate bill and part Of the
Kasson House bill. Some predict that the
bill will fail between the two bodies, as
many who openly favor it are thought to
he insncere in their support of the
measure.

The letter of the Canadian rm.sharp.
f. Stone Virgins, predicting terrific
storm on the 18th of March next, has
stirred our own signal service chief, Gen.
Hazen, to while heat of evaporation.
He writes a column of explanation of the
impossibility of Higgins idea, and con
cluGes with this vigorous, not to say
excited, warning against him and all of
his kidney, presumably including Vennor:
"Too severe rebuke can not be inflicted
upon those who attempt to deceive or
needlessly alarm the people by publishing
such statements as that Of Mr.. Virgins.
Their words are wholly Enthusiastically,
and the people should be SO informed by
those who are familiar with the subjects
upon which these prophets presume to
speak. Such statements fill lunatic asy-
iums, and hose who make them are
enemies Of society. Their publication is
Il pcstlenre, and it is the duty of all
persons who know and prize the truth to
denounce them and enlighten those who
might believe them"

The contest for Senat + in Michigan is
getting very lively. Originally Mr., Ferry
was the leading candidate for his own seat
but Mr. TIubbcll thought it would be a
good place to have llubbel' ran his con
grcssional republican committee in such
shape that it was apparent how much of a
blockhead he was and nov it is claimed
that Ferry has been lying to some of the
Michigan congressman and doing small
things TO get reelected. Michigan used
to get soundly beratcd for sticking to Z.ch
Chandler but she has never improved on
him. Christiancy made 81 bad showing
except when he resigned and let the bluf
Il ,chariah back into he Senate and the
"old war horse" looms mp by comparison
with the present stock of candidates. He
aways did things in sudden way even
his dying.

control of the company was sold 10 the
canal company he owned more Panama
stock than ever before. He died worth
probably S7.OO0,0O0, although some of his

more than TO any other one man, probably,
was due the success of the company.
In personal appearance Mr.. Park was
short and slight. He carried his head
bent forward so far that he seemed almost
round shouldered; apparently he was
absorbed always in deep thought. His
eyes were small, but bright and restless,
and his whole manner was nervous and
restrained. His face vas clean shaven,
but in late years &C least it had a whitish
hue that his thin gray hair failed to relieve.
His chin and mouth were strong and firm,
and his thin lips closed over his words
with great decision. He spoke slowly, as
ii he weighed the value of every statement
he made. lie was modest and unobtrusive,
but thoughtful and possessed of great
ment Il power. lie was in inveterate
reader. His first wife having died in 1875,
Mr.. Park on May 80 of this year married
Miss Ella Nichols, daughter of A. G.

SHIPPING POULTRY.

The following directions for preparing and shipping
poultry should be closely observed:
Poultry should be xii ed by bleeding in the neck, but
never by wringng the neck 1t should always be dry
picked, and if the feathers plucked before the
bodies are cold, this can be easily done, But on no
account should poultry be scalded, as it lessons the
value full third The wing feathers should always
be removed, the entrails drawn and head cut off.
After the blood is thoroughly drained out, the skin
should be drawn over the neck and tied except in
warm weather, when the necks should be lett open.
Always wipe the necks clean.
In paC king clean packages lining the sides and
ends with paper Pack closely possible, here
will be no chance for the poultry move about Never
use straw in packing. Good poultry will generally sell
for a fair price while common aud inferior grades in
yariably sell low and at a loss to the shipper.
N B-The contents of each box should be plainly
marked the cover whether turkeys chickens etc ::
also corr weight and tare especially the tare
put each kind of poultry separate packages and do
not mix chickens with old fowl, ducks aud chick
ems, If you can avoid it.
