TUESDAY, April l3-The legislature ad-
journed without day at 8 p. M. The Hayes
impeachment committee submitted three
reports. The majority claim the establish
msnt Of the charges made, but make no
recommendation. The Democratic mem
wants the accused impeached and
tried. The majority report was
adopted SO that Judge Hayes is
neither impeached nor reprimanded.
The new impeachment articles again:t
State Auditor Brown were sent to the
senate, having been adopted with only .
few dissenting votes. The Governor ap-
pointed Charles Beardsly, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, auditor, I'D
interim. Counsel for Mr.. Brown stated
that the prosecutions to which he had been
subjected during the past two years had
left him financially bankrupt, and that he
desired the state to pay his counsel. This
scene was intensely dramatic. The senate
finally agreed to allow the accused three
councillors at e6 day. Thereupon the ac-
cused withdrew and the senate adjourned
until May ~, when it will reconvene as q
court of impeachment to try the case.

would give him forty acres and a

didn't get either. They told him two
years ago that he would be put back
into slavery if Cleveland was elected.
He is still free and the lie is fresh in
his memory. They tell him the dem.

children, when he knows that nearly
all the taxes of this state are paid by
democrats to educate his children as

Degrees OF Skill in Labor.

There is very common but mistaken
impression abroad that there are no de-
grees of skill in what is called ordinary
labor. A single illustration will show
the magnitude of this error. Take the
simple operation of handling rock-drill,
for instance. One man will drill holes
true and parallel, while another, though
he may be quite as industrious and well
meaning, will do precisely the opposite.
The result is that the former Uses less
powder for the blast, and the rock comes
out in shapely masses fit to be made into
dimension stone worth good price,
while the product of the latter is only serv-
iceable for rubble work and not worth
as much by many times its cost Yet
both the men rank as laborers.-W. Il.

ing his wife at home. 1t was washing

wife had a bluing-bag tied to her apron,
She visited the mill and, leaning over the
engine, dropped her bluing-bag, and in
stead of white paper she had a lot of blue
paper. She met her husband upon his
return with a good deal of apprehension,
and informed him of the misfortune. He
felt as if a serious mistake had been
made until he sent the product to market
and received cents per pound more
than for his usual article, and thereafter
his mill was run on blue paper, and it
brought him fortune. ."-Chicago Times.

American Manners and Speech.

The Americans arc without doubt more
unconventional than the English. They
are more natural in their manners and
more natural in their speech. When
they have anything to say they deliber-
ate less on the way in which 1t should be
put. They have no special reverence for
hackneyed forms Of speech, phrases that
are conventional or words which are
venerated merely because they are old.
They realize the poeticalyalue of the fos-
sils of language that were the speech of
the English people in the time of Chau-
Ger, Spenser, or Shakespeare, but do not
feel themselves obliged to retain and
make daily use Of them unless common
usage has made it necessary.
If new words come into local use and
afterwards become established by adop-
ton of the newspapers and by popular
literature, they do not object to their be-
ing incorporated into the language, if
they are decent and expressive. In this
way America, while it is responsible,
though no more guilty than England,
for great deal of slang, has helped to
enrich the mother tongue in why's that

Tho Color of the Human Eve.

Some curious researches have recently
been undertaken by Swiss and Swedish
physicians on the color Of the eyes, but
without any apparent purpose. For con-
venience all eyes were divided in blu
or brown the various shades of gray
eyes being classified according to the
prominence of blue or brown in their
color Some of the conclusions from a
great many observations are these: That
women with brown eyes have better
prospects of marriage than those with
blue; That the average of number of chill
dren is greater with parents whose eyes
are dissimilar In children both Of whose
parents have blue eyes, 93 per cent. in
herit blue eyes; but in children both OF
whose parents have brown eyes, only ~
per cent. have brown eyes. The above
results were reached in Switzerland. In
Sweden the discoveries were not quite
the same. The women with brown eyes
Were more numerous there than the men
with brown eyes, but brown eyes are ap-
parently increasing there as in Switzer-
land Philadelphia Ledger.

The Decoration of Hospital Walls.

Hospitals must necessarily lack many
of the attractions of homes, but they can
be made more pleasant than they are.
Vast, ghostly expanses of white and
naked walls. glaring in sunlight, and
glowering in twilight, are of themselves
Incentives to death, when the spirit is
more than half weary of life. Bright
papers, or papers of any kind, are tabooed
from hospital walls by the dicta
of hygiene. But neutral gray might
wisely srpersede the hideous white. and
pictures are very cheap nowadays. a
few chromos, with trees and rivers, and
laughing children, and pleasant home
interiors for subjects, might be found
more scrviceable than medicine to the
patient whose mind is hesitating uncon-
sciously between the apathies and the
yitalities. Times.

Suffering is one of the most distress
ing of vocal defects, and it is a little
singular that many parents think it a
misfortune that is not susceptible of cor
rection. 1t is not necessary to contine
the sufferer in cave for years and
compel him to place pebbles in his mouth
after the manner of Demosthenes.
Syllable accentuation, preserving the
continuity of sound while beating time,
isa simpler method, and has proved
successful in the case of DR.. Hammond
and others. Another method is to take
.ng breath, and then to close the teeth
and speak between the closed teeth,
allowing the air to pass out slowly. 1t
is said that two weeks practice of this
experiment will effect an Improvement.
1t will not be necessary afterward to
keep the teeth closed all the time when
speaking, but long inspiration should
always be taken, the air being expelled
slowly. y.-Courier-Jou

Musical Publishers and Amateurs.

Music publishers, equally with book
publishers, have large dealings with am
ateurs, that is to say, with people who
have written songs as diversion, and
are determined to have them published
at all hazards. And music publishers
tell some very funny stories about such
experiences. One funny story they do
not tell either with frequency or gllsto.
In .,everal cases amateurs who have pub
blished songs on their own account have
stumbled upon successes, and, of course,
have pocketed all the profits. This con-
tmgency is now provided against by pub
fishers requiring that the amateur song
writer shall buy sufficient numbcr of
his songs at the retail price to cover the
cost of publication. Thereafter the pull
