RULES OF THE SENATE.
Most of the Notifications of the Com
mittee Adopted.

Most of the Notifications of the Com
mittee Adopted.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-In the Senate
to-day Mr. Aldrich called up the report
made by him some weeks ago, from the
Committee on Rules, to amend the rules.
The first amendment was in regard to petit
tions, and it was agreed to without discus
sion. The rule now reads: every petition
and memorial shall be signed by the petit
toner or memorialist, and shall have in
dorsed thereon brief statement of its CON
tents and shall be presented and referred
without delay
The next amendment was one that re-
quires the Appropriations Committee to
consider bills at least five DAYS before re-
porting them. This was laid over.
The rule as to executive sessions was
modified without discussion so as to read:
"When treaty shall be laid before the
Senate for ratification it shall be read the
first time, and no motion in respect TO it
shall be in order except to refer it to the
committee to print it in confidence for the
use of the Senate to remove the injunction
of secrecy or to consider it IN open executive
session."
A RADICAL CONTRAST.
The amendment to the rules in respect to
the publication and consideration of
treaties embodies a concession which is in
radical contrast with the practice of the
Senate in that it confers upon any Senator
a right to move, and upon a majority to
order the publication of a treaty immedi-
ately after its receipt from the President
and further right with the assent of the ma
jority to discuss its pro
visions in open session. Hitherto
there have been no such rights, even
when the Senate unanimously favored pub
licity and very rarely has the Senate ever
given a Senator the privilege of making
public his own remarks upon any subject
which had taken place upon the executive
calendar. 1t is now probability that the
fisheries treaty will be debated in open
session, though it is understood that many
influential Senators will oppose the propo-
sitinu

The modern friction match was wei
coined by most housekeepers, although
here and there some old people objected
to it, considering it a dangerous article,
as no doubt ii is when carelessly used
or left lying about. The first friction
match invented required To be drawn
across a piece of fine sand paper in
order to produce a light. This was
called a lucifer and was much safer,
although not so convenient rs the pres
ent match Then came the present
patent friction matches, which used to
be called "loco-focos.' There were no
fancy match boxes i'm ''old times" and
the finder box was not considered an
ornamental article, but was kept out of
sight in the cupboard or on the kitchen
mantelpiece We find in a Salem news
paper of June 30th, 1886, the following
Notwithstanding the convenience of
those dangerous little articles, friction
matches, which are in almost every
body's hands, but which with all their
charms bid fair to prove heavy curse
to the community, we learn that there
is one man in Salem, n respectable
tradesman, who keeps store where
we should generally expect to find such
things, but who has never sold them
nor allowed them To be used on his
premises. At his house and shop, he
sticks To the old fashioned flint, steel
and finder. He shows his wisdom in
so doing. How many more can say as

finely rendered, Miss Ihling having IA
good voice and being perfectly ut ease

"Woman's Work, "A prominent topic of

must have required much thought and

the subject of Independence" was
handled in manner which did credit
to one of his age. Following this came
essays by Fannie Nash and Anna Bird

An Grafton by +. Percy Lawton,
entitled Restless People" came in
at this time very appropriately, and we
fully believe that he spoke TO such peO-

comparison drawn between life and
mathematical studies; the thoughts

The Hunter and the Grizzly.

1 never killed or trapped grizzly south
OF Manitoba that measured more than
seven feet and a half from nozzle TO tail,
with probably the same girth, or one that
weighed more than 1000 pounds. II was
no rare thing, at least ten years ago, to
be confronted in the solitudes Of Manitoba
by one of these monsters nine feet in
length, nine I'm girth and with a bulk Of
], 900 pounds or more. When Manitoba
grizzy throws itself on it's great launches
and rises up before hunter, IL towers
often five or six feet above him, and 1t
takes brave man To stand In that most
formidable presence, with steady nerves
and cool head. have more than once
discovered the measuring mark OF n
grizzly's front claws on the bark OF tree
trunk seventeen feet from the ground.
Imagine coming suddenly upon beast
like that in some deep ravine or some
isolated spot almost impossible with down
timber, and surrounded by rocks and
thick underbrush. The sight OF his great
jaws, open and red, and his eyes flashing
in fury at you from the enormous head
that towers so far above you, is some
thing only 10 be appreciated when once
seen.--New York Sun.

following:
He is peculiarly free from those evil
dences of false pride and petty weak
nesSes which too often mar the charac-
ter of men who have lifted themselves
from the ranks TO the possession of
power and atfluence. As governor, this
marked and admirable trait of charac-
ter was one of the first to attract atten-
ton and elicit appreciation. One of his
first orders, simple in itself and extra
official, serves well to illustrate this
characteristic.
As he seated himself in the guberna-
torial office chair, his observant eye
noted the grooves in either side of the
imposing dOorways.

his secretary.

History of q Locomotive.

There lately entered the Grand Central
depot the other day locomotive with a
tragic history. 1t was the locomotive
which drew n train to the first frightful
railroad accident that ever occurred. Up
to 1S4S, while there had been some catas-
trophies on the railroads, there had been
none accompanied by great slaughter, but
that year this engine drew a part of a
train on the New Haven road into an open
draw at Norwalk and caused a great loss
Of life. The accident was the sensation
of the year. The engine was fished out
and repaired, and has been running on
the road ever since.
A singular circumstance connected with
this accident is that it Indirectly proved
the fortune of the man whose incorrect
signals caused it, He fed and settled in
western Pennsylvania and was the vic
tim for many years of remorseful refiec-
tions on his carelessness. But it was this
man who first dug an oil well in what is
now the oil region and developed this
colossal UNSATISFACTORY York Evening
sun.
