RICHELIEU ROBINSON.
The Great Tail-Twister Tells the Speaker to
Go to the Devil.

The Great Taii-Twister Tells the Speaker to
Go to the Devil.
WAsHINGToN May 24.-There was music in
the House this morning. Cox of New York,
called up his resolution authorizing Ensign
Reynolds to accept a medal from Emperor Fran
els Joseph, of Austria, for saving the lives of
Austrian seamen Rieheieu Robinson arose
and made most violent TRADE, IN winch he
called Reynolds dude Cox replied, stating
that Robinson was the hcentious libertine of
debate and that he was endeavoring to disgrace
the navy by calling noble officer, who had saved
seven lives at the risk of his own, dude
Mr.. Robinson repeatedly interrupted Mr.. Cox,
and was called to order several times by the
Speaker who threatened to call the Sergentat-
arms to suppress him. There was much eonfu-
sion, during which Mr. Cox yielded two minutes
of his time to Mr.. Kasson who advocated the
resolution, and was constantly interrupted by
Robinson, which led him to declare that the
gentleman was persistent in wrong. and was dis
grazing his countrymen by his course
Mr.. Robinson demanded that the words be
taken down but no attention was paid to his de
mand He then demanded that Mr.. Kasson take
back his words.
Dir. Kasson II take nothing back. The man
who calls the gallant officer dude does dshonor
to his countrymen.f
Mr. Robinson disclaimed any intention Of dis
honcxiTfs any body and lifting huge dictionary
the word dude, and he askedthe Speakerto have
read the definition of that word from the diction-
airy.
The Speaker replied that as the previous
question ON Mr. Coxs resolution had been or
dered, Robinsons request could not be enter
tanned. ~
At this Robinson became very angry, and
looking the Speaker square in the face he said:
IF you don't want to listen to either Worcester
or Webster. you can go to the devil
Evidently the Speaker did not hear this re
mark, as he raped for order and called the
previous question. The resolution was adopted,
only three votes being in the negative.

tonight TO say who will champion their favor
ties. Thus far, the only pronounced candidate
for the nomination who has opened headquar-
tiers, is Mr.. Arthur. He has parlors at the
Riggs House, where Mr.. Gilbert Pierce, of the
Chicago News, dispenses Arthur information
and collects returns from the delegates as they
arrive 1t is said that the President had moth
ing to do with opening the rooms, but that it
was an entirely voluntary action on the part Of
his friends
Although less than half adozen Republican sen
ators are delegates to Chicago it is expected that
at least twenty will attend the convention next
week, and that one great object will be to defeat
the nomination Of Blaine, who, fol some reason
not exactly apparent, does not seem to be very
cordially supported by members of the Senate.
Nothing is known yet as to whom these SEN
ators viii favor if, indeed they have any choice.
They will leave about Thursday, on special
train, and will remain during the entire session.
1t is thought that atleast eighty members of the
lower House will accompany the senatorial par
ty and that little business will be done during
the absence of these Legislators.
A dark horse in the race, who seems to be
gaining favor very rapidly among all the factions,
is Ex-Governor Long, of Massachusetts This
gentleman combines all the qualifications neces-
sary for successful candidate, coupled with the
profound respect of his political opponents.

Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by those who
use taking powders that they leave in bread,
biscuit, or cake raised by then a disagreeable,
bitter taste. This taste follows tine useOf all i'm
pure baking powders ard is caused either by
their containing alum introduced to make a
cheap artielel, by the impure and adulterated
character of other ingredients used Or from the
ignorance of their manufacturers of the proper
methods of combining them. These baking
powders leave ia the bread d reSiduam formed of
lime eaa,ta alum, or other deleterious matters,
not always, though frequently tastable ia the
food, and by all physicians classed injurious
to health The Royal Baking Powder is free
from this serious defect. In its use no nesiduum
is left and tie loaf raised by it is always sweet
light and wholesome, and noticeably free from
the peculiar taste complained of. The reason of
this is because it is composed of nothing but alb
soluteiy pure materials scientifically combined
in exactly the proper proportions of acid and al
kali to act upon and destroy each other, while
producing tile largest amount of raising power.
We are justified in this assertion from the un-
qualified statements made by the government
chemists, who after thorough and exhaustive
tests recon tnended the Royal for governmental
use because of its superiority over all others in
purity, strength and svlolesomeness. There is
no danger of bitter bread or biscuit where it
alone is used.

Working Wet Soil.

In working wet soil the most injury results
from letting it alone, after blowing until it dries
out. When this is done the soil cakes and is
difficult of pulverization so as to make a good

up very little injury follows If the land is
plowed while wet, and then Immediately and re

weather dries the soil. the effect is less damaging

A Southern Vegetable Farm.


''In a visit to Charleston S. c.. last February,
l called GU firm of market gardeners the Messrs.
Noisette who had long been customers OF ours
for seeds and plants never dreaming for
moment from their intelligent manner of doing
business, but what they were white men. was
surprised to find asking for them that the
firm was represented by two modest looking col
ored men of middle age, who from beginning
with eleven acres in 1864 had in 1888, got to be
owners of seventy five acres OF valuable land,
right in thesuburbs of Charleston, every acre of
which was worked in vegetable and fruit crops
in the most thorough manner Hardly weed
was TO be seen. and nearly every crop
showed the greatest possible fertility,
and no wonder for they used 60 tons of
stable manure and one-fourth ton of guano per
acre They had the biggest and best manure
heap ever saw in any market garden, having
early learned the Importance of that factor of
success. They employ an average of seventy
I'VE hands, or one to each acre, Which Is about
the same as is requ red at the North, though the
wages pad-50 cents for women and 81 per day
for men-is little more than half that paid
North, and when it is known that their early
products now sell for three times as much in
New York or Philadelphia as the home grown
vegetables and fruits, it can well be understood
how profitable the business must be. did not
ask Messrs. Noisette what their profits on
their seEenty=fiVe acres were, but haFe little
doubt it would not be less than $40, 900
per year. and maybe $780, 600, for when cabbage
sells for % cents and eauifower IS cents per
planted on an acre, it is easily seen that market
gardening must pay in the South. OF course
every acre would not be so profitable. and ocea-
sionally crop, from insects or other causes,
may be entirely lost; but over all there is no
question that the business, conducted in the
mastery manner in which it was done by
those two colored men. must be immensely
profitable Everything indicated that they
were up with the times. They had the best
plows, harrows and rollers that money
could buy and it was here for the first
time, l must acknowledge, that 1 ever saw
that valuable machine. the manure spread
err, in use. We have probably 200 market
gardeners in Hudson county, N. j., many
of whom have been in the business for quar-
ter of century, and doubt if there is one OF
those implements in use among the market gar
deners in the whole country. TO be sure few
of them have over ten acres, though on grounds
such as cultivated by the Biessrs. Nosette
where 1000 tons of manure is annually used on
their seventy-fve acres, the manure spreader
will pay for itself many times in season, not
only from the rapidity with which it does the
work, but also from the evenness in spreading
and disintegrating the manure. The crops that
Messrs. Noisette have found to be the most
profitable in Charleston are Strawberries, let
tuce caulfower and cabbage, though they grow
largely of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers and
melons.
