Court Of impeachment on the charge
Of Forging writing for the purpose
Of depriving another Of his money,
or rather the Impeachment failed be-
cause there was not a two.third ma

G yeas to 8 noes, and there is hardly
a doubt Of his guilt. The Courier
journal says, Nothing new was de.
veloped in the trial which was not
known before. Absolutely no facts
we're brought out which could in the
minds of unprejudiced men extenuate
the action Of Hinkle. There should

Preparing Rice for the Market.

The following is an account Of the
method of milling rice, or preparing it
for market: The rough grain is not un-
like a grain of wheat, with this excep-
tiOn, that the husk is tough, fits more
closely, and is not detached by the
thrashing process. On its arrival at
the mill it is "bacled in" by negroes
and thrown into hopper from which
it is elevated to one of the upper
stories and slowed away to await its
due course of milling. When this time
arrives the grain is fed on to the
stones. These consist of two horizon
tai stones, the upper one stationary,
the lower one beng run with great We
loaity, causing the grain to end up,
when 1t is caught between the "upper
and neither millstones," and the husk
split off. As can be easily seen the
setting of these stones is matter
of great nice y, for if they are set
too close the grain would be
crushed on the contrary, If too far
apart, the rough kernel would slip
through unhulled. The chaff is then
blown off and the grain conveyed to
the mortars. These are iron pots, egg
shaped, through the bottom of which
the rod of the mounted pestle is oper-
ated up and down. The friction of
the pestle, and of the rice on itself, in
a few minutes wears away the inner
skin, after which it is screened in
order to cleanse it from the meal.
The grain then passes into the final
act of dressing, to wit, through the
polisher. This is round, horizontal
screen, inside of which is closely
fitting drum covered with basil skins,
which is rapidly revolved ard gives to
the grain the glossy polish peculiar to
American rice. From this the grain
goes over the screen, which separates
the broken kernels, while the whole
comes forth bright and beautiful.

Soaring the Wolves.

When Lieutenant Schwartka started
on bis arctic expedition he took a lot
ofthe Coston night signals of various
colors, such as are used by vessels on
our Northern lakes. One night, while
the men were sleeping in their snow
houses on the icy coast of Labrador, an
immense pack of wolves surrounded
them and threatened to destroy the
wholeparty. Knowing the uselessness
of trying to kill them with the rifles,
they lit one of the lights and threw it
out The glare was so binding that
the wolves were dumbfounded. The
growing stopped, and in less than two
minutes not one of the pack was In
sight
