Hon. samusl Randall objects 10 tho
proposition % take from the HOUSE
COMMITTEES On appropriations Gil juris-
diction over certain appropriation bills,
on the ground that larger expenditures
win likely follow. In support OF his
view he refers to the largely increased
appropriations for the Agricultural De-
partment and river and harbor Inn
provements, since they have been taken
from the consideration Of the Appro-
priations Committee. A potent fact 70
be considered In connection with the
proposition, he says, IS the statement
Of the Treasurer that the estimated sx'
penditures for the ensuing fiscal veal
aggregate $3.50, 5s9, 900, while the esa
mated revenues for the same period
amount to only S3i5, 600, 900.
Mr.. Randall has been an impeachment
TO the carrying ont OF the views OF Car
isle, Springer and other free traders u
the past, and it 10 likely that he vii
continue to occupy somewhat simiial
position in the future.

The declination OF Senator Logan to
accept the once Of President OF the SEN
ate, was surprise TO many members
OF his party, as well a. TO the Demo-
Gratis generally. 1t shows, however,
his disposition TO avoid disputes In re-
gard to the legality Of any action for
his benefit. The selection Of Hon.
J ohm sherman for the position puts an
end to all bubbles in regard to eligi-
bility, and showed at the same time
that the Republicans had more than
one man able TO fill the position with
honor to himself and the country. The
Repu blicans have q score OF able men
in the Senate, and We challenge the
Dem ocra.s to match them.

why seeds Pail II eeping hem

DIR. Thurber gives in the American
'Aarlculturist some good suggestions
about keeping seeds, from which we
extract
I" The proper keeping of seeds has
much to do with their termination.
While there are many seeds OF peren-
nials, that should be sown As soon AZ
ripe, il ID different with annuals and
bisupia's. The carrot, psrsnip and
most OF her garden vegetables, are In az
| unnatu raj condition. Cultivation hal
caused these to produce roots many
times larger, and much more succulep'
THAN in their wild state. The seeds o.
lthese, wien soft-sown ~ soon "a ripe
produc degenerate plarts. which hsv'
reverted 70 the natural state, and arr
no longer useful.
ri In the experiments of Prof. Back
. man and M. Vilmorin, on the improve
ment of the carrot, radish, etc, fron
: the degenerate forms, known AZ weeds
IL was found that keeping tie seeds DIR
I during the winter, and sowing them 1
:. spring, was an important agent In r.
storing these plants to their useful col
9 dition. Rest, suspended growth for
u me, has an important influence Il
keeping such plants In the arsitct'
condition produced by cultivation. IN
manner In which seeds are kept durin
q, the winter, has much TO do with the
is value at sowing time. We should kos

slight Acquaintance..

In large circle of casual acquain.
tances there are some whose very names
We scarcely know. Let any man reflect
q little and he will become conscious
that goodly proportion of all those
with whom he is upon nodding or speak.
ing terms belong to this category or but
just escape it. We have all OF us our
strong likes and dislikes in regard to
countenances which are familiar, vet
really are those of absolute strangerp.
We ride day after day in the cars with
man whom we would gladly order to
execution simply from the objection
ability of his personal appearance; or we
pass on the street every afternoon wo.
man whose physiognomy entities her in
our opinion to canonizatlon. In either
case the sentiment in regard to the face
is 80 definite aud genuine as to exercise
an influence upon our character and
temperament, yet We in reality know
nothing whatever concerning these peo-
pie who thus change our lives. Another
class OF semi.acquaintance are the many
people whom we know more or less we'll,
through report; of whom We have heard
anecdotes, incidents and facts of
different sorts. and for whom We have
built up character from o single
characteristic, as comparative anatom.
ist constructs q skeleton from o single
bone. This host of beings is pretty
largely imaginary, yet in each there is
something of truth and reality which
binds him to earth and classes him with
mortals. The human family is large, but
each of US is exposed to influence from
all the other members of it.
