WASHINGTON. Jan. Is Bland intro
dneed 8 bill repeating so much of tie
act OF June 8 1879. as provides for the
exchange and redemption OF subsidiary
coin. Referred.
D1ckery, from the Committee on Ae-
counts, reported q joint resolution al
loving discharged employees of the
House one months extra pay. After
considerable debate the resolution was
defeated; yeas II, nays 1883.
1arsney offered resolution calling on
the Secretary Of the Treasury for infor-
nation AZ to the amount of money Ia
the Treasury that can be legally sp-
piled to the payment of bonds, or any
other interest bearing debt of the
United States, IL there be any suca
moneys in the Treasury applicable to
the payment of the obligations afore
aaid which have not besn 80 spglied.
Referred.
Private business having been dis
posed of. the House resumed considers-
ton of the Presidential Succt ssion bill,
and its passage was advocated by DID
bic, WAC regarded il far better ct tn
tory provision than the existing law.
he proceeded to argue that neither the
President pro tempOre of the Senate nor
the Speaker of the House Was United
States officer. and In support of his
position quoted from the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution, where
a distinction is made between members
of Congress and United States officers.
He picked out the Il VS. which be con-

Posr- lsTKLLIGEScER for Its opposition
TO tue BAH 10 create q Board of Immi-
grafton IL that the railroad company
would derive the chief benefit from in
creased immigfation.-TaeoMa Ledger.
In plain, straight English, thss is a
lie. The PosT lsTELLIoksoER has never
avowed any sucb silly reason for its op-
position to the bill. There are reasons
enough for such opposition without
that. The Posi- IsTKLLIGEscER has
stated those reasons in full. and it con-
siders them amply sufficient 10 Justify
any honest j,arnaI in opposing the bill.

shining on it warm, the hay will be-
gin at once to heat in the cock,
and by the next morning will be
quite warm. The next forenoon
throw open to the sun a short time.
and put it into the barn as fast
as possible. l know some readers
will be ready to ask if it will not
heat and spoil. 1t will heat, and
that is what we want. it to do; IF there
is no moisture in it except the juice
of the hay, it will not spoil, provid-
ing the barn is reasonable tight.
An ordinary battened barn is tight
enough, if the doors are kept closed
save when necessary to be open for
putting in hay. If one has large
amount of clover to cut, the mower
may be run from, say three o'clock
in the afternoon until the dew be-
gins to fall, and the clover handled
the next day. If the work goes on
continuously from day to day, it
will be ali right, but if from bad
weather or any other couse, break
of two or three days should occur,
the hay will be wet as it falls from
the fork, as it Is good plan to
pitch off some of the top to the
sides of the NOW. When the clov-
er is all in it is well to put load
or two of dry straw on the top, 9th
erwise some of the top will be found
spoiled. One word of caution. Do
not make the mistake of supposing
it will be the same:to put in wet hay
as green hay. If the rain falls on
it, it must be dried or it will
surely SPOIL Farmer.

THE PULASKI= CIII1FN
To Promote Regularity in BEARING.


Many orchards bear profusely
every alternate year and the other
year they are barren. Many ex-
plantations have been offered for
this habit, we may term it, but so
far no satisfactory reason is given.
One man calls it habit trees have
got into, and it cannot be broken;
while another will tell you it is the
climate. 1t is so common no effort
is made to break it. Another will
tell you it is the want OF manure;
the trees bear so profusely one year
that their vitality is lessened, and
the next year there is a failure
This may be so, it is reasonable,
but the barrenness happens on the
same year to all orchards alike. If
this reason were the correct one,
but such as bore heavily, one year
would fail the next, and this would
apply only to those which did that
way. But such is not the case. 1t
is so with not one tree, nor a varie-
ty Of trees, but all fruit alike-ap-
pies, pears, and peaches. We con-
TESS we have no good explanation
for the fact. But we do believe
with proper attention the habit may
be broken. It is very certain that
if tree bears very profusely, its
vitality in impaired, and it would
bear better the next year if that vi
tality were restored. Hence the
plan we offer is to manure heavily
every alternate year, and let it be
applied broadcast under every tree
the fall after the full crop. The
manure will not affect the trees un-
til the second year, and put on the
previous year it comes to its effects
at the time when the trees are weak
est. This plan, carried out persis-
tently every other year for a series
of years, will soon show its effects,
and if anything will correct that
fault this plan offers the only
chance.
The manure should be applied to
the surface in the fall, and if it is
decided to cultivate the ground the
next spring the next spring the ma
nure will be plowed in and do only
the more good. OF course the farm
er must not expect to see its good
effects at once, but only after sew
oral years regular use. 1.-THE or
chard is cultivated enough, more
manure must be applied to answer
for both trees and crops. However,
if the treee are large and in full
bearing, the ground should not be
used for any other purpose than
fruit, as it will be asking too much.

Things are Getting Mixed.

Somehow or other, my boy, this
old world seems to be getting away
past me. L don't seem to catch on,
somehow. Mr.. Beecher declares
himself Cleveland republican, then
Mr.. Curtis proclaims himself an Ira
Davenport democrat, and now the
Rev. Maugasar Mangasarian de-
clares that he Is a Bob Ingersoll
Presbyterian, l am just waiting
day by day for Garrison TO get out
of his grave long enough to declare
himself a Pro-slavery abolitlonist
and then / am going to join the
Roman Catholic Order of American
Protestants and see If the Irish
Americans can't do something for
the American-Irish in English pris-
ons. I tell you, my son, these are
stirring times and a man must be
blind if he cannot feel the low NUT
terings of distant thunder that
smells to heaven in the zimmerman
darkness of its glaring polyglotery.
/ suppose it's all right, my son, but
l can't understand it at all, and I'm
thankful that 1 don't and that l
don't desire to understand it, "for
in much wisdom is much grief and
