A SILENT SENATE.

That Body Has Nothing to Say About a
Note of Explanation Sent by Attorney
General Garland to the Senate Regard
ing the Hill Suspension Case.
The person who unearthed the letter
Acknowledgement Garland sent to the
President of the Senate, in reply to a
resolution of the high legislative body
asking for official papers and corre-
spondence concerning the administra-
ton and conduct of the office of Marshal
for the Eastern district of North Caro-
lima from the first of January to July 26,
1886, is deserving of thanks for exposing
to the public the hypocrisy of the Sem
ate. It appears from the letter Mr..
Garland sent to President protein. Sher-
man that j. B. Hill, a Republican, who
held the office of Marshal, left his home
in Raleigh in 1884 while he was Mar
shall, and went to the Republican con-
venJion of the First Congressional dis
trict in which he did not live and by
an active canvass succeeded in being
elected a delegate to the convention at
Chicago which nominated Blaine, and
that he attended such convention and
participated in its proceedings. Soon
after President Cleveland entered upon
the discharge of his duties, the people
of the Eastern district of North Caro-
lima asked for a change in the office
and gave him facts relating to Hills
partisanship. It is not necessary
to say that Hills official head rolled
in the saw dust, or that Demo-
crat was appointed in his place. The
Senate did not want Hill ousted for he
and conventions in that State, and so
the committee having the appointment
of his successor under advisement APP
piled to Acknowledgement Garland for
letters and papers on file in his office,
thinking it could make case against
the Administration. The note the At
tornev-General sent the committee
must have disturbed the Republican
members, for they said never word.
although they had been fishing for. a
suspension over which to raise howl.
But the case of Hill would not do by any
means. Tt was too clear, and the Pres
ident expressly stated that the suspen-
sion was made for the sole reason that
Hill left his home and went to another
district where he manipulated a Repub-
ican convention so skillfnlly that he
was sent to the Chicago National
convention. It is clear that if Hill had
remained in Office much longer he
would have had the Republican party
of North Carolina in his vest pocket to
dispose of as he pleased. But is it not
surprising that the Senate did not
make public the information it re-
ceived in regard to MFR. Hill and his
conduct as an official? The Repub-
lican party had Hills everywhere, men
without the slightest regard for the
wishes or preferences of the party.

filled ballot boxes at caucuses, elected

A DOGS WOOD PILE.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Evening Call, who signs himself E. Il.
Traitor, tells this story about a dog: 81
want to tell you about queer dog. His
name is Snip. His ears are cut pointed,
and always stick up Sometimes he rolls
his eyes up as if he we're trying to see
something in the sky. His nose turns up
too. 1t is enough to make you laugh to
look at him. He has one queer habit: he
never goes away from home without
bringing back stick or chip or piece OF
wood of some kind that he has found.
Sometimes he will try to bring piece of
wood that is too heavy for him, and then
he will get quite vexed. Should it prove
SO heavy that he can not drag it, he will
drop it, and then stand still and bark
himself hoarse. One day he pulled
home plank that had been put down in
a wet place on the sidewalk. He piles his
wood up by itself in the shed, and he has
in his pile more than cord Of sticks and
logs. Is not Snip queer dog? What
do you think makes him act SO? A poor
man, short of fire wood, would find him
of great use in a cold winter.
Can the dogs queer proceedings be
accounted for by any native utilization for
bark?

ever shifting of the others, both the unit
figure and the fraction in the quotient
will be the same in every instance. Thue,
75943,228 may De reversed, broken in the
middle and the latter half placed first, or
shifted about in any other manner, yet
when divided by nine, the fraction will in
all cases be four-ninths. II, however,
the eight remain as the permanent unit
of the dividend, the other figures may
be changed at will, and in every case the
quotient will have six as it's unit figure

nine in this collection Of figures be made

the quotient will invariably be five.

multiple of nine, divide the number thus
formed by nine, and there will be no re-
mainder.

THE NUMBER NINE.

Many curious facts relating to the
number nine have seen the light. Here
are some which have only recently been
discovered. The number is a wizard
which can be neither burned, drowned,
hung nor quartered, but will always re-
appear with smiling face.
l. Reverse the figures forming any
multiple of nine, or change their relative
positions III any manner, and the number
thus formed will be a multiple of nine.
Thus: Is, 81; 70, 81; 1888, S811; 7722,
2277; 7425, 5247, 1875, 5742. Though the
multiple of nine be SO large as to require
figures TO express it extending from sun
rise to sunset, the process will have a
like result. 1t follows that no figures
which, placed in one order, will not form
multiple of nine, can be placed in any
other order in which they will form a
multiple of nine.
l. Place any number of figures, small
or great in your bonnet; shake them up;
draw out, and arrange from left to right,
or right to left, or alternately, fore, aft
and midst. Return them to your bonnet
and proceed as before. Now subtract
the less number thus obtained from the
greater, and tue remainder will be mul.
tiple of nine. Thus: 21-12=9; 6731-

.9-346; or, Same fgures,) 7631-6l73
-l458 ::9-l62. These figures, it will be
! noticed, are incapable of being so placed
as themselves to form a multiple of nine,
yet the remainder reached by shutting
and substacting is invariably so. Though
the figures be extended into nonillions
the result will be similar.
g. Take any figures which do not
form a multiple of nine, though extend

as many various orders as they will adj

HELP ONE ANOTHER.

" Help one another" the snowflakes said,
AS they cuddled down in their fieecy bed:
''One of us here would not be felt.
One of us here would quickly melt:
But I'lLhelp you and you help me,
And then what big white drift Wen seel"
g Help one another" the maple spray
Said to his fellowleayes one day;
:" The sun would wither me here alone,
Long enough ere the day is gone;
But I'll help you and you help me,
And then what splendid shade therell be- -
" Help one another the dewdrop cried,
Seeing another drop close to its side:
- This warm south breeze would dry me away,
And should be gone ere noon to-day;
But I'll help you and you help me.
Add wen make brook and run to the sea"
% Help one another" grain of sand
Said to another grain just at hand:
.. The wind may carry me over the sea,
And then, oh, what will become of me?
But come. my brother, give me your hand;
Wen build mountain and there we'll
stand,'
And so the snowfiakes grew to drifts,
The grains of sand to mountains;
The leaves became pleasant shade,
And dewdrops fed the fountains.

A CLEVER HuMMiNc BIRD.

I'll tell you how clever humming
bird shielded her little ones from the
rain. There they we're, nestful and
the rain beginning to fall. The people
who had watched the nest out of their
window we're concerned about the young
birds, but the mother bird evidently was
prepared for the emergency. Near the
nest grew large leaf was butter
nut tree = and on one side of the nest a
small twig stuck out. When the drops
began to fall, she came quickly, and with
many tugs pulled the Leaf over the little
nest for roof, and hooked it by the twig
on the other side, which held it firmly.
Thus the half-feathered babies were kept
as dry under their green roof as if their
house had been built by a carpenter, like
the sparrow houses all around on the
trees. When the rain was over, the mother
came back and unlocked the leaf.-Jdck-

while the curious cockerel was stand

While the curious cockerel was stand
ing there, not knowing exactly whether
to go or stay, the whole flock OF hens
raised such an cutlery, such scolding
and clamor at him, that the other cock
erel came up from the other end of the
farm yard, and when he saw that the
curious meddler was still there, he few
at him and hit him some hard blows.
The farm yard dog was also attracted by
the noise, and rushed upon the stranger so
that he hardly had time to fly upon the
fence, from which he flew down again to
his own yard. Then his hens came up to
him complaining and scolding, because
he had left them go long. 1t seems that
while the curious cockerel was looking
after strange hens eggs, the hawk had
come and stolen two chickens, and the fox
had stolen into the hen roost and carried
off two Of the handsomest hens and
smashed all the eggs.

advice contained in your dispatch. The pres

officers OF a secret organization because a

highest court in the land, nad seen ut 10 dis

other complaint against the management or

business of four states and one territory Is
completely paralyzed, and millions OF resident
citizens are deprived of the railroad facilities
on which their entire prosperity depends. aud
to the enjoyment of which they have legal
rights paramount to any secret organization,
because their rights are secured TO them by
the laws Of the land. The Missouri Pacific
employs l4,3l9 men. OF these, 3,7l7 only are

dition these 300 conspirators who are by
force and intimidation stopping our trains

LONDON, March 19.-It is stated that
Mr. Gladstone will not be prepared to pre-
sent his scheme of Irish reform TO parlia-
ment before the first week Of April. The
cabinet will not meet again until next week.
Many had expected that Mr.. Gladstone
would state his Irish policy next week, be-
cause at the opening OF the session he said
he could not present il until he was through
in the house with the governments imam
cial business, which he expected TO have
done by March %. Mr.. Gladstone said
this afternoon in the house of commons
that he hoped TO be able during the coming
week 10 name day for presenting state
ment of his Irish proposals. Referring TO
current runors about the nature OF the
scheme of Irish reform which he proposed
TO submit, Mr.. Gladstone asked the men,
bers of the house to exercise a prudent re-
serve i'm giving credence TO any OF them. He
added that his statement would probably
be followed by the introduction of q
government bill to carry his plans into
effect. Mr.. Gladstone also asked that
members exercise wholesome skepticism in
regard to rumorS of dissension in the cabi-
net. Some of the lobby frequenters think
it indicates that the difference between the
premier and Mr.. Chamberlain has been
either arranged or is in a fair way Of beng
arranged. The Conservatives, however, in
view of the vagueness of Mr.. GladStOne's
language. incline to think that the breach
is beyond repair. Lord Randolph Churchill
is highly displeased at the political i'm
portance attached TO his conference of yes
terday with Mr.. Chamberlain. 1t is stated
on indisputable authority that the Radical
detection is increasing and that Messrs.
Nor ley, Bright. Osborne, Morgan, Broad
hurst. Heage and other well-knOwn Liberal
members OF parliament will join Mr.. Cham
