SENATOR EDMUNDs has introduced
three important bills since the assembling
of Congress. One provides for postal
telegraph lines connecting the EASTERN
northwestern, western. southwestern and
southern parts of the United States with
the city of Washington. The work of
construction is to be done under the di-
rection of the secretary of war, but when
completed the lines will be operated un-
der the charge of the postmaster-general.
The bill appropriates $4,000, 900 for the
year ending June 80, 1885. second
bill provides for the suppression of poly
gamy, etc., and a third is ''for the further
protection of colored citizens of the
United States against violation of certain
rights secured to them by the constitu-
uon.''

Rose. The flowers are gathered before
sunrise, and are always distilled on the

directly to the still are spread out in

tin tube is added, cooled by traversing
a tub fed by a stream of water. The
roses are thrown ia whole 25 to so
