tariff bill in the hope ef reaching re-
suit lncredulous laughterl.
Republican members of the Senate
took advantage of the late hour at which
that body decided to convene today.
and held a caucus lasting from l0}ss to
II O'Clock. A pretty general discussion
of the situation was had, and an unusu-
ally frank expression OF opinion was
INDUCED in. Some speakers advised an
amendment of the tariff bill, on the
ground that its further discussion was
an utter folly and waste of time.
The House went into a Committee on
the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill, and
a general debate was dispensed with.
The bill was read by paragraphs for
amendment.

A young man in an Illinois town step
ped into a church door q moment one
Sunday while the services were going on,
and the smart minister saw him and
shouted: go out, young man: she Is
not here" The young man vas embar-
rassed for a moment; and then remem-
bering the several ministerial scandals
that were in the courts. he said, loud
enough for all to hear him: Yes, she
is, you old duffer. You have got her hid
behind the organ, and you want to 20
home with her yoursslfm The minister
blushed and said the services would close
by singing the doxology.
The man who let fall a disagreeable
remark was requested to drop the sub
iect.

WHETHER our jury system be a failure
Is a matter which has been treated ex-
tensively OF late by nblo writers. And
complaint is being made about coroner's
juries also. II is said that their ver-
diets are too often insufficient and un-
satisfactory; that, as rule, they are
not given to thorough searching for all
the facts in the case Men of business
dislike serving on coroner's jury, or on
any jury for that matter, and are always
in hurry to get hack to the prosecution
Of their own affairs. Hence they arc
tempted to slight details, and to arrive
at conclusions not always remarkable for
fitness. Again, many men are notably
economical in their views, and are in.
clined to take advantage of any doubt OF
foul play, in order that the pockets OF
themselves first and their fellow citizens
afterward may be spared the expense oi
legal investigation. Examples of this
kind are by no means infrequent. For
such a verdict the coroner is not to
blame. As general thing coroners are
capable and honest, but they are power
less in the hands of Indifferent or inte,
rested iurymen.

Mr.. RYDER, of the United States Fish
Commission, is very hopeful that he will
be able very soon to propagate oysters
as fish are propogated, from the eggs.
For some years oysters have been
hatched successfully, but it has been
impossible to replace the water without
losing the little bivalves, which are SO
small that no method of straining can
be employed. Mr.. Ryder has adopted
an apparatus consisting of system OF
inclined troughs with lodges on the bot
tom, similar to those so familiar to min.
ers in this State. He finds that the
young oysters no longer escape, although
the water is replaced frequently. He
notes, however, that the oysters do not
increase in size, and thinks that this
may be due to lack of food, or to some
cause at present unsupported, 1t is to
be hoped that Mr., Ryder's efforts to
make oysters grow will meet with sue
cess, and that, in consequence, the de-
licious shell-fsh will become abundant
and cheap on our southern coast.

The war against the opium dens of
New York has attracted the attention
of the people of some other eastern
cities, and it is found that in many of
them the evil is deeprooted. In Gin
cinnati it was the reporters of the daily
papers who made investigations which
resulted in the discovery of these dens,
and who brought them to the knowledge
Of the police. The EveniRg Register, OF
New Haven, claims that there are no
such establishments in that city, but the
investigation, which was made by the
reporter of that journal, does not seem
to have been very thorough, and this
guileless individual received the general
denial of various Chinese laundrymen
interviewed by him as proof that opium
is not smoked there. There is a great
number of the Chinese in the Elm city,
and where the Chinese are gathered to-
gether there will be smoking OF opium.

Since General Grant has become n
talker his profound political wisdom is
every day the moro apparent. AT one
time he is Of the opinion OF Mr.. Roscoe
Conkiing, and believes that in the com.
ing presidential election, the country
must go Democratic; at another he
thinks that the nomination OF Mr..
Blaine, or that Of General Logan, will
insure victory to the Republican cause.
Mr. Blaine, we are inclined to think,
has retired from the political arena.
Moreover he is decidedly objectionable
to one wing of his party, which would
not support ticket headed by his name.
General Logan is, on the other hand,
just as Objectionable to Mr.. Blaino's
friends, and, in point Of fact, is not a
possible candidate. II may be that, by
the time of holding the nominating
conventions, the Republican party will
be so much disorganized rs to make the
nomination Of one, or both, OF these
gentlomon possibility. Although it is
too soon for any one to predict who the
Republican nominee, or nominees, will
BE-, at the same time there is nothing ia
indicataon the part of Republican lead
crs. or thc~ablest OF Republican news
papers, that Blaine or Logan, or both,
would be acceptable to the party,
whether harmonious or divided. How
ever this may be, it does not detract
from General Grants reputation. Bo
tween now and the time of making the
nominations we shall be enabled tc
chronicle many other opinions emitted
by that distinguished statesman. And
Il he goes on rs he has begun, it is saf,
to say that his opinion will prove to b,
correct. The late Mr. Bennett wai
wont to lay claim to great politica
sngacity, in that he always predicted
who the next president would be. Sc

Why cyclones take place has been
discovered by an amateur scientist oi
New York. The Rev. j. b. Williams,
in paper on the "signs OF the Time"
read at meeting of the synod of the
Reformed Presbyterian Church OF North
America, asserted that nihilism, alcohol
ism and communism are combining theii
forces for an attack on religion, and that
the Almighty was Furnishing various
parts Of the country for these evils by
sending cyclones to devastate them. Mr.
Williams is undoubtedly well Informed
on the subject. 1t is very well know
that the communities visited by whirl
winds are invariably composed Of nihi
lists, and that only towns where liquor
is sold are destroyed-especially in th'
State Of Iowa.
