Progress.
Prof. d. Munk, q worker of some
eminence in agricultural chemistry,
says that moderate muscular exercis.
increases the yield of milk, but tina
violent motion binders the process o.
milk secretion. Dairy farmers ma,
turn this remark to profit.
The first smelling works in Aus.
tralia have commenced operations il
the newly discovered silver region Of
Mitchell's Greek, near Bathurst. The
scene Of operation is called Sunny
Corner, and the district is believed ia
be as rich in argentiferous ore as il
that Of the Barrier Ranges. Other
smelling works have been begun, and
the whole are under the direction oil
miners who have had considerable ex.

day in Indian Villages, NV Ysar,
Day is observed BY Eulupsans and
Americans BY making merry and sst.
ting accounts. The custoM = the sur.
vival Of an ancient Indian practice,
All over India the first day q che year
is both holiday and ssttling-day.
Merchants feast their customers, Gloss
old accounts, and open hsw books.
"Day Of New Books" i one 81 the
names BY which the festival l. called.
A correspondent Of the Christian Union
thus describes the custom:
II Is thought proper that old 90,
counts should he closed, OF at least
balanced, and new ones begun by Gus
toners with their traders on tho first
day Of the year.
All the stores and 6nacss are fauoi-
fully or gorgeously decorated with
flowers, canopies and hangings. The
books, pens and inkbottles are new and
fresh.
The weights, scales and other appur,
tenances Of shopkeeping are polished
and frightened. And every article is
consecreated with suitable ceremonies.
In the evening the places are illumi-
mated, and all regular and known GUS
toners have been invited to enjoy feast
ing and music st the tradeemen's sx-
pense.
There is one thing, however, which
not unfrequantly interferes with the ex-
pected merriment of many an invited
customer. Each guest is expected to
pay off at least q part of his debt.
The head clerk or the master himself,
sits at one end of the room on o cush-
ion, with wrifing-desk and account
books before him, making entries Of ell
payments.
It is regarded suspicious that every
guest should put down at least one sill.
yer piece which would be credited to
his account.
Customers who have already settled
their aecounts' therefore, deposit mon
ey in advance, while some ct those pn.
able to make fitting entries on the day
choose to forgo the music and sweets.
However with the failure of some aud the
liberality Of others, the book generally
begins the year we'll.
Every day, on opening the book, q
small sum is credited to the service of
some particular deity, and at the end of
the year the total amount is collected
and faithfully applied to the promised
Offering.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Joint resolu.
ton providing for an alcoholic liquor COM
mission, which was to-day reported back
adversely by the house committee having
the matter in charge. is accompanied by q
report In which the committee says:
gne power to REGULATE retail liquor traffic has
e the exclusive rights Of the states rather than
the general government. Attempts have been
made ny some states to entirely prohibit the
liquors, but with little apparent success: and
the interests Of Temperance and sobriety, so
much to be desired, would seem to demand wise
and stringent restrictions and effective SAFE
guards in connection with liquor traflo
rather than impracticable efforts at absolute
prohibition: To the several states of the Union
police regulations as will throw every proper
restriction around the liquor traffic COMPATIBLE
with the personal and property rights Of citi.
xens: but uniform police regulations enacted by
congress, practically suited to tho different
wants and requirements of the people of ali tho
various states. would be difficult to frame and
more difficult TO enact, Any attempt to control
the personal habits and private conduct Of the
individual ehould be opposed so long as he does
not interfese with the personal rights Of others
OF the peace and order Of society in general Al
it fs matter Of grave doubt whether congress-
has right to regulate the liquor traffic in tho
several states of the Union aud Us there seems
70 he no great pressing or urgent necessity for
the passage of this bill, your committee holds it
10 not advisable to attempt to exercise doubtful
powers, which appear most properly to belong
to the states themselves

The bill was brought up by direction of the
committee on military affairs, ON motion of
Gen Slocum. 1t was originally passed BY
the senate and reported favorably to the
house prior TO tho veto Of the Fitz John Por-
Ter bill; and In order TO overcome the con-
stttutional objections Of the president the
senate passed . second bill, which was
framed by Senator Edmunds, in which the
name Of Gen. Grant does not appear. This
bill is now on the speakers table awaiting
the action Of the house. large number Of
votes cast to-day against the defeated bill
came from those who favor the plac-
ing Of Gen. Grant on the re-
tired list, but who were not inclined
to send to the president measure drawn in
such language as would require him, in view
of his negative action on the Porter bill. to
withhold his approval The objection Of
these gentlemen was to the form aud not to
the object of the bill
