THAT lightning killed his soil is the
belief of farmer in Newton, Ill. He
writes: "This summer, when my corn
was two feet high, the lightning struck
it, killing a patch about 100 square feet
in extent. 1t seemed to have killed
the ground, as neither weed nor spear
has grown on it since. The ground
looks dead, and believe it is. Occa-
sionally these spots are met with all
over the prairies. The people account
for them as Buffalo tramps, where Buff
faloes congregated in fly time and
tramped until they killed the soil, but
from the above occurrence l account
for them as having been struck by
lightning"

Mr.. Cox then went on 60 say chat the dems
ocratic party was in favor of tho Improvement
Of the Mississippi river.
Mr.. Reed said that there might be some
gentleman in the house TO whom the present
scene was not familiar but If 30 it was because
they had been elected since last session Tie
supposed that this hash and rchash had been
going on since the beginning Of time. In his
personal experience tho speech of the geutle-
man from Pennsylvania had been warmed
over six times. The gentleman from Penn
sylvania was not reaching for the presidency (,
he was reaching for place to reach for IL
from, and he had been enabled to put himself
right with gentlemen from the Mississippi
valley, if they chose to believe him. Then
the gentleman from New York Mr. Cox had
pranced forward. The farce always had to
come after tie tragedy. lt was u comfort to
have the gentleman come forward, because it
was known that another candidate for speaker
had entered the ring. l4aughtcr.l And now
the house and country waited TO hear another
candidate for speaker present his views of life
and duty to tho Mississippi river and, upon
his SOUL he hoped that the next might be
providentially able to seek some other ltera-
ture than that Of the deceased scOundrcl,
whose words filed so comfortably the mouth
of the gentleman from New York.
The consideration Of the bill was practically

pensation slowed to Pacific railways for
transportation and the committee rose.

Mr.. Hoar moved to postpone its further
consideration for a week in order TO give sem
ators timo to examine tho evidence In the
case Having read Gen. Grants article in
the North AmGicda RerieiC, he had come to
Washington this session with the idea that il
would be his duty TO vote for this bill, and if
the case turned altogether upon the question
of the right of n corps commanded TO act upon
his own discretion under certain Circum-
stances he would still incline to be guided
largely by the judgment of the advisory board
and Gen. Grant because they were better
Judges in such matter than he could hope to
he; but the argument of the senator from
Illinois had raised other questions in the case,
such, for instance, as the alleged failure of
Gen. Porter for hours TO obey an order to
march, and il he were compelled to vote now
without having an opportunity to examine
the evidence upon this and other points he
should have TO vote against the bill.
Mr Conger said that twenty-eight senators,
One.third Of the senate were not present to
record their votes and take their share of tho

Writing of the Short Line road, a
correspondent of the Baker City, Ore
gOn, Tribune, says: While the Short
Line road has been rapidly built, the
work has been done III a thorough
manner. Indeed, it would be hard to
find a railway more thoroughly con-
structed In the west than this. The
road bed looks like that of an old
road, and they can run their passenger
trains forty miles an hour with perfect
safety from Granger to POcatello.
The train which came in on was a
little over two hours late when we left
Granger, and this was all made up
and we were running on time be-
fore we had gone 40 miles.
At Hams fork, forty-two miles
from the main line, there are
as fine coal fields as have been found
west of the Missouri river. They
cover a large extent of territory and
are well-nigh mexhaustlble. The
Short Line road traverses the winter
range of mountains by a zigzag course
on grade of $50 feet to the mile. A
tunnel is now being constructed
through the mountain I400 feet long,
which will shorten the distance one
and half miles and reduce the grade
To so feet. These mountains are COM
posed almost entirely Of solid coal.
The tunnel is timbered with California
redwood. and will De completed about
the lst Of January, 1884.

A Morning Bath.

\ splash and a scream from the
corner of Cass and Squemoqua streets
attracted considerable attention yes
terday morning. The street is being
repaired, and while some passers by
were going along, the sidewalk under
their feet in front of S. Danziger's s
store gave away and sent them head
long into the water. An involuntary
bath was the result, and the sight of a
number of well-dressed men swashing
around in water up to their waists in
search of their hats Vas a ludicrous
one--to those who were on planka
iirma. One of the falling tImbers
struck one of the wOrkmen on the
shoulder but fortunately inflicted no
serious injury. 1t looks as though a
little care is needed n the part cf
those in charge of the work.
