Both houses of the Ohio legislature sent a
memorial to the United States Senate alleging,
that Senator Payne's seat in that body was
obtained by corrupt means and asking the
Senate to inquire into the matter. The
memorial was referred to a committee which
made three reports. Two of the reports were
substantially the same. They opposed an
investigation on the ground that it was not
alleged that Mr.. Payne was personally inn
plicated in the bribery if there had been any
and that it was not shown that Mr.. Payne
might not have been elected had there not
been any bribery. The third report signed
by Messrs. Hoar and Frye recommended the
investigation asked for. By rejecting the
latter report and refusing an investigation
the Senate practically declares that no mat
ter where the obligations come from or how
serious they are, unless the beneficiary of the
corruption took part in it or sanctioned it,
or unless it can be shown that he would
not have been elected Senator but for the
corruption, the Senate will not even order an
investigation of the charges. If this deci-
sion is to be accepted as a precedent the
work of buying seats in the United States
Senate will be greatly simplifed.

For the first time in many years viceroy
leaves Ireland with the good will of the peo-
pie. The departure of Lord Aberdeen pro-
misses to be in marked contrast to the leave
taken by Forster and Spencer; and also to
that which the next viceroy will take, if the
Tories govern ireland with the "frmness"
which they have boosted as their policy. The
period of Mr.. Gladstone's late ministry has
been one of Cancellation, and the Irish pro-
pose to show to Lord and Lady Aberdeen
that they can appreciate kindness as heartily
as they have resented oppression.

An Illustration of the extent to which the
classes carry their dislike of Mr.. Gladstone,
is the manner the post of Mistress of Robes
to the Queen has been filed Custom de-
crees that this place must be filled by a
Duchess. When Mr.. Gladstone took Office he
could not find Duchess who would fill the
post for him; but now that the Tories are
coming in there are large number of noble
ladies ready to serve the Queen The
Duchess of Buccleugh, who has kept the
robes before, gets the place.

An Irish ecclesiastic, Archbishop Croke,
takes this hopeful and wholly reasonable
view of his country's prospects: There is
no ground for dependency. We have the
greatest political strategist at our head. The

more hopeful The sympathy of the whole
civilized world is with us. We have COM
pact party of 300 members in the House of
Commons. Nearly million and half of
Englishmen voted for restoring our country's
rights" Parnell and his countrymen aimed
very high in the last campaign; but though
their effort failed, they find themselves in
the hour of defeat in possession of such ad-
vantages as belong rather to victors.

Statistics Concerning the Growth OF the
housekeeping Industry.

Statistics Concerning the Growth OF the
housekeeping Industry.
The report on farm animals recently
received from the Statistical Bureau at
Washington makes it appear that there
has been a general interest in horse
breeding Of late, which is due to the
steady demand for serviceable animals
for draught. purposes and for the farm
and road. A gradual improvement is
noted by the introduction Of famous
breeds of European draught horses,
especially the Norman and Percheron,
and to a considerable extent the En-
glish Shire horse and the Clydesdale.
1t would appear from this report that
the everyday working horse Of
America is to be a heavier and stronger
animal than has been seen heretofore,
and that the expectation Of horses may
in the future conduce to the stability
of prices and the profits Of breeding.
Almost every State makes some in
crease in the number of horses. Most
of the Atlantic States show an increase
OF about ! per cent, as well as Lousi-
ana, Texas and Illinois; New York and
Virginia 2 per cent, and abou. the
same rate in Arkansas, Tennessee. West
Virginia. Ohio, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin. The Stats Of the Missouri Valley
show u much larger rate, with the rapid
advancements in settlement and popu-
~lation; Nebraska an increase Of 10 per
cent. and Dakota of ID. There Is also
considerable advance on the Pacific
coast. There has been a large increase
in the Rocky-M Mountain region, ~ horse
ranches are becoming numerous and
profitable. The total increase in tho
United States over that Of 1885, as esti-
mated, aggregates 513.Os5, or 12,077,-
657 horses for 1886,
The number OF mules has not ad-
vanced faster than population, but the
increase Is distributed with some ir-
regularity, being greatest in the States
and Territories between the Missis-
sippi and the Rocky mountains. The
aggregate increase is placed at 50, 1924,
or 2,052.b93 animals for 1886.
The decline in values Of farm chi.
mails has been in progress for two
years. but II averages only about 3 per

A Poultry Food Which Stimulates Lay
ing to a Great Extent.

A Poultry Food Which Stimulates Lay
ing to a Great Extent.
Some Of our farming friends appear
to be deeply impressed with the notion
that hens need no food but corn in
some of its forms. But we ought not
to forget that food Q the material
for every thing that comes out of the
system, and that If any particular race
takes up any special branch Of nam
facture they must have the raw mate
rial. All animals consume more or
less lime; it is n Of the principal
elements entering into the compost
ton Of the bones, but the hen needs
an extra supply. The domesticated
hen also needs more than wild stock
Of any sort, since she is stimulated to
a greater production Of eggs. In con-
sequence we must give her more than
is contained in the various grains.
The most useful forms in which to
give lime are In the shape Of coarsely"
ground bone and oyster shells; feed
these articles most abnndantly at the
time when the hens are laying most
freely, and anticipate, if possible, by
beginning early in the season, lest
your fowls eat a shelless egg and ac-
quire bad habits. The Importance Of
providing a liberal supply of ground
bone and oyster shells for fowls, is less
understood than ii should be by breed
crs Of poultry. Raw bone, coarsely
ground, say half as large rs grains of
corn, is greediiy eaten by fowls, es-
pecially il they are not allowed to run
at large; and welt-conductsd expert
ments have proved that it is not only
beneficial to the health Of the fowl, but
it also certainly stimulates and pro-
notes laying to . very great extent.
Now, while this effect Of producing
an increase in the number Of cggsis
certain, and not a ncwly-claimed merit
We have arrived at the conclusion that
1t also increases the size Of the eggs;
and where there IL my trouble with re-
gard TO the shells Of the Eggs, we have
found II speedily remedied by a liberal
use Of ground raw bone and oyster
shells. Every person who Keeps even
. fow fowls should own u mill Tor
grinding such food, as It will soori re-
pay Its cost. Bone and shell should DC
fed to fowls BY putting i IN q narrow
box and mailing It to the side OF the
coop; We prefer this method, as it =
less wasteful than throwing II on tho
ground. 10 use fine bone beneficialll'

A friend of mine once had a vision of
hell, which, if not as magnificent as
Dante's, was certainly ingenious. There
he saw every body e~ternally engaged
in what had been on earth his ~favorite
pursuit and besetting sin. One mar
had shaken a dice-box twenty million
times. Another had counted out money
till his fingers were worn out to the
bone, and %uncounted heaps still lay all
around him. One woman had waltzed
a ring in the stone floor and still she
whirled round to the giddy one. two,
