ON of the scorchlng phillipics he was
SO capable of uttering at the devoted
head Of the Vice President, when the
latter 1nterposed with:
Zone moment = the Senator from
Delaware is out of order because his
term has expired"
For a moment Salisbury stood in
utter amazement, and then blurted
out:
by thunder, Mr.. President,
really forgot that little circumstance,
and will now close my remarks" and
then for fifteen minutes more the
strange scene was presented of pri-
rate individual addressing the Senate
of the United States in full session.
And Salisbury afterwards boosted
that he was the only man on record
"Who ever served a single term of
over six years in the Senate of the
United States. y

Walking Right-Handed

a writer ia Nature on the subject of
unconscious bias in walking shows
that it may in some cases be very
marked. He says: 81 began with
walking myself and getting various
friends to walk, with eyes shut in a
grass field. We all walked with amaz-
ing crookedness In paths which were
not far removed from circles. 1 my
self and Mr.. Cation on the first trial
described circles of not more than
fifty yards in diameter, although we
thought we were going straight, and
afterward [ was generally unable to
impose a sufficiently strong conscious
bias in one direction to annul the I'M
conscious bias in the other. [ believe
we all diverged to the right, excepting
one of us, who was strongly left
handed" A similar trial was made
with eight school-boys, when it was
found that left-legged boys diverge6
to the right and right-legged boys to
the left. The step of right-handed
person is longer from left 10 right
than from right to left, and vice versa.
The writer believes that nine out OF
ten strongly right-handed persons are
left-legged. Every active effort OF
the right hand is almost necessarily
accompanied by an effort with the
left leg, and right-handed man is
almost compelled to use his left leo
more than the other.

HGw He Served Ont His Time

A funny scene occurred in the Sen
ate of the United States on the day
that Willard Saulsburry's last term
expired. Just before II o'clock on
that day, at which hour his time was
up, he took the floor to speak to some
question in which he was deeply in
terested. Vicc-President Colfax per-
mitted him to run along till fifteen
minutes past time, and then the Y. P.
began to hitch and fdget Ia his chair.
Finally Colfax, rapping, said:
The Senator from Delaware is
out Of order, and will please take his
seat.
Il am not out of order, Mr. Presi-
dentw Numbered the bibulous Will
ard, in response. do you think
don't know when I'm out of ORDER,
sir2"
And then he plunged into his sub
ject again.
Colfax turned, and twisted and then
raped again:
The Senator from Delaware is out
of order, and he will take his seat"
This was too much for the now irate
Senator, and he was about launching

MARSHAL NEY'S NATIVITY.
Was NapoIeon's Bravest General Ma
tive of Georgia?


Was the famous Marshal Ney, 'the
bravest of the brave" a Georgian
asks the Atlanta Constitution. With
out attempting to answer this question
the temptation of reproducing the
substance of a recent article on the
subject is too strong to be resisted. An
anonymous writer in the Kansas City
Times relates at great length and with
a multitude of dates and details, the
early career of Napoleon's brilliant
general. It seems that shortly after
the revolutionary war young man
named Michael Rudolph lived on a
plantation near Savannah with his
wife and two sons, Victor and Adolph.
One. day Rudolph flew into a jealous
rage against his wife, and taking the
two boys, he abandoned her and sailed
to France, whore he joiBed the army
as a private During one heat Of ter
rife battle the young soldiers phe
nomenal GOODNESS attracted Bona
parties attention, and he promoted
him. Michael Ney was the name as
sumed by Rudolph in France, and it
was generally believed by his COM
rades that he was u Frenchman who
had spent most of his life abroad. The
rise of Michael Ney continued until
the fatal Waterloo. The rum0r of his
American nativity got abroad after
the Marshal was executed, and it was
reported that before his death he told
his SONS that his name was Rudolph,
and that they had abandoned their
mother near Savannah, Ga. On this
side of the water several missing Iinks
in the chain of evidence establishing
the Identity Of Rudolph and Ney have
come to light. One incident will be
sufficient. About 1920 two young
Frenchmen were in Savannah inquir-
ing the whereabouts of Nine. Rudolph.
A survivor Of Waterloo Glanced to
meet them, and rushing to the eldest,
exclaimed: Monsieur Victor Ney p
The young men getaway at orce and
were seen no more. They were I'M
doubleday sons of Marshal Ney in
search of their mother, the Nine. Ru-
dolph who had been abandoned over
a quarter of century before.

A New Lincoln Story.
Y. Y. Times.

Here is new Lincoln story, prop
erly authenticated, suitable for publ
cation about this time, as the old al
MANAGES used to have it:
Just after the publication of Secre-
tary Chase's exceedingly able treasury
report In 1868, and when the secretary
was known to have the presidential
bee buzzing in his bonnet, Jealous
friend went to him Gincoln) with a
suggestion that Mr.. Chase should be
looked after; he was using his power
as secretary Of the treasury to further
his own ambitious schemes. Lincoln
laughed shrewdly, and brought out
the inevitable story of which he was
reminded An Illinois farmer, tilling
a few acres of land, and employing
only one poor old horse, was blowing
one day, while his son regarded the
operation from the nearest fence.
Suddenly the old, spiritless horse
pricked up his ears ard started briskly
onward IN the furrow, almost drag
ging the old man at the pIow-tai
around the land The lad surveyed
the unusual sight from the fence. the
old man having hard work to keep
up as the old horse went flying
around, and then he cried out: Say,
dad, why don't you brush off that
gad-fy on old Dobbin's neck?" A
he flew past. the old man replied: IT
never saw Dobbin doing so we'll be-
fore. Let the gad-fy be-. How
Lincoln made the application any
man can tell. And if there are high
officers so troubled with the presiden-
tial gad-Hy that they are doing I'M
usually well, it were a pity to disturb
them now.

Pressure for Political Reform


When Mr.. Evarts named Governor
Cleveland last night there were deaf
ening cheers, and it was observed that
Republicans, right and left, Joined
Democrats in swelling the acclama-
ton. The incident has a forcible and
gratifying significance. It shows that
good citizens Of all parties are not
only ready but eager to join hands in
pressing for those reforms which, far
more than any mere partisan ques-
ton, are the urgent needs of the com
munity. The speech of Judge Davis
afterward emphasized correspond
ing view. LET us acknowledge no
allegiance" be said, ito machines,
rings or halls in this fight, and least
of all to that worsts of halls, alcohol,
the influence of which seems to SWAY
almost every public question. It has
come to this, that the party to which
[ belong mas shown 10 the lobby at
Albany that the factional leaders of
the Republicans had rather have
Democrats who will steal in power
than men of their own party if thew
will net steal, Let us put the seal of
our disapproval on this kind of gov
eminent tonight" Five minutes of
talk like this is worth a year of
thrashing at the old straw of partisan
dialectics There is no burning"
question as between parties that bears
comparison with those that touch the
cleanness and thoroughness of civic
and national administration, and to
thrust these out Of sight is to take
sides with the friends of all that is
most disgraceful to both the metropo-
lis and the nation.

upward, and thus the fall of the pol
len, through the successive ripening
of the blooms, may last for three or
four days, and there is a great varia-
ton in period of blooming as between
individual plants. The silk main
tains its receptivity for pollen for
some little time, but for how long a
period we do not yet know from di-
rect observation. 1t seems, however,
true, that closely following pollena-
ton, the silk losses its transparent
structure and begins TO shrivel, while
before pollenation IS effected the silk
retains its succulency for a number
of DAYS.

Tom C0rwin told a story during the
Fillmore campaign about an old
darkey who had caught fat rabbit,
and whose mouth watered at the an
ticipation Of the savory dish it would
make. He burst forth with praises Of
the rabbit in the following rich strain:
''Ah, Cora nifty! rabbit good for eb-
erytingT And then he admired it's
broad back and muscular loins. ''No-
BILE rabbit, dat it is. Good for roast,
good for boil, good for bake, good for
broil, good for eat anyway! Cora
NIFTY" Just as got thus far in his
honest soliloquy the rabbit sprang
from his arms, and away he ran into
the woods. "Ah," said the chopfallen
niger, rabbit dry meat, anyhow. :"
'Noble old line Whigsw the Democ-
racy said, when they were patting
them Familiarity on their backs. ooh,
they will come to the rescue of Blu
chanan. They are a large and re
spectacle party III every State. They
scorned to cOalesce with the Native
Americans. They will now rally to
the support of the Democracy. They
are good and true men, every man of
them" Just at this moment the Bal
timore Convention came off, and 10!
the noble Wings declared for Fill
