WASHINGTON, April {. -Early in the
session Mr.. Wilkins (Ohio) introduced
bill increasing pensions for loss of
sight, which was referred to the Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions The COM
mittee found that it was in the power
of the Interior Department to rerate
this class of pensions, and addressed n
letter to the Secretary recommending
an increase in such cases. This was re-
ferred to Commissioner Dudley. who,
after careful consideration of the sub
ject, recommends an increase of from
81 to IS per month for the loss of the
sight of one eye and from "a to Sl8 for
the loss of an eye, and also All allow
ance for partial deafness. which recon-
mendation has been adopted by the

More DynamiterS.

LONDON, April 5. -The recent sudden
removal of the convict Irish Invincibles
from Irish 10 English prisons is attrib-
uted to the discovery of u conspiracy to
destroy Mounljoy Prison BY the use of
dynamite. The Invincibles III the prison
were engaged in clandestine correspon-
dence with conspirators outside. Let
tiers were found in James MuIlet's cell
which disclosed the plot. The prison
wardens were to be bribed for money
from O'Donovan Rossa's fund TO con
vey an internal machine into the prison.
One letter contained an order for the
murder of Patrick Delaney, one Of the
Phoenix Park conspirators, by throwing
him over the balcony as he should leave
the prison after mass. Delaney still re-
mains at Mountioy for safety. Many
of the wardens have been dismissed.

Seeding in the Northwest.

MINNEAPoLIs, April Experience
last fall with frozen wheat in Minnesota
and Dakota has worked a change in the
methods of seeding this year. The
Millers Association of this city has
sent out 10000 bushels of hard seed
wheat, and it is all of the very best
quality of fife, and is absolutely pure.
This is to take the place of soft spring
wheat usually sown in Southern Mime
sofa, where hard wheat will not grow
year after year. BY r. ting hard seed
from the Red River cs try each spring
this variety can be T.. further south.
Wheat raised from the hard variety be-
comes soft after asecond sowing. Many
farmers in Southern Dakota commenced
seeding last week. The snowstorm in
the early part Of the week put stop to
the work for day or two, but reports
received from the Winona and St. Peter
and Hastings and Dakota roads say
farmers are generally busy Ii the fine
weather continues seeding will be pretty
well along next week in this section.
On the Northern Pacific and Manitoba
roads work will not be commenced for
ten days From present indications the
acreage will be very large this year.

How TO Reach the Audience.

When you mount the platform be
puzzled to know where to put your hat.
Look round as though you were quite
cool and collected, and suddenly put
your hat ON the floor. Turn then to
tie audience, pass your fingers lightly
through your hair, and say: Fellow
citizens i"-extend your right hand
put your left on your vest, on which
ever side it is your private opinion your
heart lies-swell out your chest as
though all the Goddesses of Liberty in
the world had left their respective
countries, but had taken board and
lodging in your expansive bosom, and
were now struggling to find their way
out at the front door. Repress then
generous efforts for a while, and then
out with them in blaze of glory. The
effect will be tremendous. Chicago

Deadly Eight.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan, April S.-Yes
terday noon, as Tim 0'Connor and his
brother Mike were driving along the
road on Day creek, twelve miles from
here. they were warned by Ernest Allen
and others not to cross a certain piece
Of land belonging to the school district
Not needing the warning an attempt
was made to stop them, which did not
succeed, and they passed on. The
O'ConnerS found wire stretched across
the school district land to prevent their
passage, and five men. two named AL
leu and three named Breen. stationed
there with shotguns and reyolvers.
Mike O'Copner cut the wire, when Ern-
est Allen shot and killed Tim O'Conner.
Mike then rushed ut one of the Breens
with an ak, and chopped his head, in
fiiciing mortal wounds. The party
then closed in on Mike. and broke
shotgun over his head, disabling him.
All the surviving parties were arrested
and jailed. The affair grew out of an
old feud between the Breens and the
OConners

NeMSnnner Postage.

WASHINGTON, April S.-A. G. Hesing,
of Chicago, is here to advocate the pass
age of one of the bills now pending in
the House and Senate for the reduction
of the postage on newspapers mailed
from the Office of publication. Mr.. Lo-
reno Bertano, of Chicago, has pre-
pared an argument in which he urges
that the postage collected from newspa-
pers mailed from the Office of pubica-
ton is SO insignificant as To be compar-
atively Of no account; that before the
act of 1874 the prepayment was OPP
tional, and therefore the subscriber paid
the postage on his newspaper; that now
the rate should be reduced to one cent
per pound. In support of this argu-
ment Mr.. Bertano quotes extensively
from the report of Postmaster-Genera
Howe. in which that officer recon-
mended the abolition OF ostagc on sec
ond-class matter. He also argues that,
inasmuch as the circulation of news
paper is alike beneficial to every state in
the Union, there IS no reason for setting
up a rate of postage at the county line,
but that the government should en-
deavor to diffuse information through
the newspapers rs widely as possible.

Voting BY MACHINERY.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-There are
two rival inventors here aspiring to do
their country service by abridging the
time that is consumed by the 325 repre-
sentatiyes Of the people in recording
their votes upon any pending measure.
They propose to do this by means of an
electrical voting machine. All the
members have TO do Is touch a white
button (yea) or black one (nay) and
the record is made with the speed Of
lightning. A month ago one of these
gentlemen was informed by one who
was better posted in the ways of the
House that the question was not always
how to do it, but very often ..not how to
do it. Since that time he has been de-
voting his genius to meet this dilemma,
and has got his machine so adjusted that
it will run fifty-six hours, equaling the
time of the famous dead lock on the
force bill He feels confident he can
double the time and so arrange the ma
chine as to require the presence Of but
half as many of the minority as is re-
quired by the present system of voting.
This machine promises to be a success.

South Carolina for Arthur.

COLUMBIA. S. G., April 8-The Re-
publican State Convention will be held
in Columbia the 18th inst. Delegates to
the national convention will be chosen
and the question Of opposing the Dem
ocratic ticket for state officers win be
settled. have mingled pretty freely
with white and colored republicansdur-
ing the past few days with view of
findino out the Republican sentiment in
South Carolina touching the Presiden-
tial election. As rule they are non-com-
initial, very few venturing as far as to
express their individual preference.
White and black ot1ice-holders, with
few executions are bold and determined
adherents of President Arthur, while
the great mass of negro voters prefer
General Grant to any other man. they
realize that his candidacy is out Of the
question and seem to fasten upon Gen.
Logan as the next best man. Arthur
has most inconsiderable following
among The colored people in South Car
DINA. Many of the negro politicians,
however. are used as his tools, and they
with the white element, will probably
be able to manipulate the convention IN
his interest Indeed,i it requires no polIt-
zeal astrologer to foresee that a solid
Arthurian delegation will go to Chiea-
90 from South Carolina.

Their All Gone In the Muck.

MILWAUKEE. April s. c. IL. Hoist,
Of New Holstein, village in Calumet
county. Wisconsin, has failed for $40
900, with assets OF about $1,000. The
creditors mostly reside IN Chicago and
Milwaukee. The failure has created
great excitement in New Holstein.
where many people had their hard
earned money deposited with Mr.. Hoist.
Some farmers, who were receiving per
cent. from solid business man, drew
their cash a short time ago and depOs-
tied it with Mr. Hoist, who was paying
8 per cent Mr. Hoist was credited with
being as solid financially as an old bank
ing establishment, and many Of the
young school teachers. servant girls,
etc, had placed their savings in HoIst's
hands, and they will probably never get
a cent. The affairs are still in an unset
tied condition, and there is no prospect
whatever that Mr.. Hoist will resume
business.

Woman or Man.

NEW YORK, April S.-The World
prints the following: "A person who at
tracted much attention from the fact
that fine black moustache bloomed on
the upper lip, while the body was at
tired in female apparel, arrived at Castle
Garden yesterday on the steamer Elbe.
A brother of the person said: ''He is
my sister She is a woman from the
waist down, but man above. His
name is Frederick Ross, and he was
born in Dantzc, Prussia Since the
day Frederick was born he has never
spoken q word, nor can he understand
anything said to him. He can hear,
however, where an ordinary person can
not, and has often signified to us that
a person was approaching whose foot
steps we could not hear for some min
utes afterward" Fred is repulsive
looking being, with large, bony, and
horribly manned hands, while his feet
are exceedingly small and well shaped.
In Prussia Fred attained fame for grace
full dancing. The party are bound for
Detroit, where the father resides in good
circumstances.
