CAUCgs OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS.
Washington, March 25.-The Re-
publican Senators held caucus this
morning to consider the Sherman res
olution, which is as follows:
"Resolved, That so much OF the
several resolutions Of the Senate passed
since the first day of March as pro-
vides for clerk of any standing COM
mittee Of the Senate during the recess
of Congress be and is hereby rescind-
ed" No action was taken, and
another caucus will be held to con-
slider the matter.
About a dozen resolutions author
izing the standing committees of the
Senate to employ a recess cIerkship
have been introduced, two or three Of
which are still pending.
Considerable feeling was manifest
ed and it was stated by some Senators
who have secured employment for
their clerks, that if the Sherman res
olution was adopted they would fa-
vor an entire revision of the commit
tee list.
The subject Of final adjournment
was alluded to and the Presidents
wish that the Senate should remain
until the end of the week was made
known. Without any formal action
tacit understanding was reached
that minor treaties should be consid
cred at such times as the Senate was
not employed with nominations.

The practice Of chewing the betel
nut, not unknown in China, is carried
among the Malays to great excess, the
betel nut being to the Malay what opium
is to the Chinese, or tobacco to the Jap
anese. Miss Bird, a recent traveller, con-
demns it IS "a revolving habit, and the
account she gives of it shows it to be
nothing less. If man engaged in chew
ing betel nut speaks during the process,
his mouth looks as if it was full of blood.
It blackens the teeth moreover; and the

curacy, that to haye white teesn i - 30
