THIS WEEK IN O0rGREss.

Slight Probability That the Bills to
 Admit New Territories VIII Come
 Up Before AdjourMmens-TheH House
 Will Wrang1e over Money Bills.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 16.-The bill to create an executive department of agriculture stands at the head of the Senate calendar as unfinished business, having displaced the Washington territory bill from the position which it had occupied about two months. The other bills for the admission of North Dakota and Montana have also been sent back to their places in the body of the calendar, and their displacement is held to indicate a purpose not to touch the territorial question again this session. The short debate on the department of agriculture bill which took place Friday evening developed no op- position to the titular purpose of the meas ure, but strong desire was manifested by 6 number of senators, including Senator Plumb, who has charge of the bill, to restore the section struck out by the Senate com- mittee which provide for the transfer of the weather bureau to the proposed new exeeu- tive department. This is the pending Ques- ton, and it's consideration will open the pro-
 ceedings of the week. By agreement the bill gives way at one o'clock tomorrow for 8 vote on the reconsideration of the passage of the Chinese restriction bill, but aside from
 this there Is an understanding that it shall
 hold the floor until dispostd of unless an ap- propriation bill shall be brought in. Be- yond the measures indicated the Senate has no programme.
 IN THE HOUSE.
 It is probable that the general deficiency
 bill will be reported this week.
 A contest is probable in the House to-mor- row between the appropriations committee, in charge of the conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill and the friends of the Oklahoma bill, which is the pending order on
 motion to pass it under 8 suspension of the rules Should it's promoters fail to secure
 consideration for it Monday, the effort will doubtless be renewed the next day ,and as the opposition is very pronounced little legisla-
 ton is likely to be achieved during the week if the bili is kept before the House.
 The deficiency bill. the only remaining un- enacted appropriation bill beside the sandry civil bill, is expected to be returned from the Senate before the end of the week.
 The Democrats of the House will hold A caucus on the adjournment question on Tues day, the result of which may modify or alter the course of proceedings for the week or for the remainder of the session.

Costly Pearls.

Single pearls have been found on
this coast valued at 81, 500 and $35. 900,
but the most curious pearl discovery
that has been made, either here or
elsewhere, was made on this coast a
few years ago, when the now famous
Crude AustraIis. or Southern Cross
pearl, was revealed. This is a perfect
ly natural cross of nine pearls, all in
one piece. The finder of this unprece-
dented gem was, as often happens, un-
aware of its value, and sold it tor 800.
The purchaser considered himself for
tunate when he was offered 81, 900 by
four gentlemen in Perth. They sent
the curiosity to England and had it
mounted and exhibited in the recent
colonial and Indian exhibition In Lon
don, where it attracted great deal of
notice. and was offered for sale at the
advanced price of $4,000 Whether
a purchaser has yet been found for it is
not known. The exhibitors hoped
that His Holiness the Pope might con-
slider it his duty to become the posses
sor of so marvellous a. reproduction of
the holy tree, and perhaps some pious
devotee may before now have purchas-
ed it for jubilee offering to the pom

Hidden in a Tree.

Says Chambers JoTnG': Some
woodcutters in the forest of Drommlin
made very strange discovery. They
began to fell venerable oak, which
they soon found to be quite hollow.
Being half decayed. it speedily came to
the ground with a crash, disclosing a
skeleton in excellent presentations; even;

were perfect. By its side was powder

would seem to be the skeleton of
man between 80 and 40 years of age
1t is conjectured that while engaged
in hunting, he climbed the tree for
some purpose and slipped into the hol-
low trunk. from which there was no re-
lease, and he probably died of starva-
ton. Another mystery was found
in the heart of an oak. From
tree of this kind large block about
eighteen inches in diameter, that has
been knocking about in various yards
and woodsheds. was split up lately,
and in it was found an auger-hole about
three-fourths of an inch in 8 re, con-
tanning a bunch of human hair done up
in piece of printed paper. The hair
was near the center of the block and
fastened in with pine plug. 1t was
apparently put in when the tree was
quite small. as the tree had grown over
the plug to the thickness of about four
inches, with the grain perfectly smooth
and straight

Are Stones Alive?

We generally think of minerals as
dead Jumps of inactive matter. But
they may be said to be alive, creatures
of vital pulsations. and separated into
individuals as distinct as the pines of q
forest or the tigers in jungle. The
disposition of crystals are as diverse as
those of animals. They throb with I'M
seen currents OF energy. They grow
in size as long as they have opportunity.
They can be killed, too, though not as
easily as an oak or dog. A strong
electric shock discharged through a
crystal will decompose it. very rapidly
if it is of soft structure. causing the
particles to gradually disintegrate in
the reverse order from its growth, until
the poor thing lies dead, shapeless
ruin.
It is true the crystals life is unlike
that of higher creatures. But the diff
ference between vegetable and animal
life is no greater than that between
mineral and vegetable life. Linn@us,
the great Swedish naturalist, defined
the three kingdoms by saying: ''Stones
grow, plants grow and feel. animals
grow and feel and move. 49, Wide

Ailesbury in High Feather.

The Marquis of Ailesbury. despite his
snubbing by the Jockey Club, was at
Alexandra Park races the other day.
He drove down in coach and four,
and looked as il he had million a year
coming in. We id not notice that his
wife was with him. but saw that the
rowdy element was well represented
on his lorlsh'p's coach. 1t seems ex-
tremely doubtful whether the ostrac; SIN
of the marquis will he either as real or
as continuous as was at first imagined.
If it should turn out that the etiict of
the Jockey Club is like blank cart
ridge. noisy but harmless. it will be
merely another proof of the snobbery
which seems to prevail in every branch
of the social system, and convincing
assurance that on the turf. as every
where else. there is one law for the
upper classes and another for the
lower. Modern Society.

Salvador against the peace of Guate-

Tinaco. a Nicaraguan officer. The gov
eminent was at the same time aware
that the movement was backed by
many who are averse to the actual
political situation. The government
refrained from making Investigations,
and contented itself by sending force
against those WHO had appeared with
arms in their hands, and who were
promptly overthrown by the military
commanders at Chiqu mula, Jalapa,

A Remarkable Flock of Sheep.

Mr.. L. j. jenkins. Dresden.
Germany in treating upon the merits
of the Saxon Merino Sheep, writes, in
the american a jricnltaris.:
perhaps the most remarkable flock
of Merino Sheep in the world is to be
found ut Leutewitz, near Meissen, in
Germany. Here have been bred for
four generations of men the descend
ants of the famous importat;ons OF
Spanish Merinos to Saxony in 1865 and
1878. Like all other true Mernos,
these were in the beginning small and
hardy animals. yielding small
quantity of ver} fine wool, but having
no great value as mutton. Now they
average in weight: rams. two hundred
and twenty to two hundred and sixty
five pounds, anil ewes. one hundred
and forty-five to one hundred and
scventy-live pounds; and the nnwashed
wool: from rams, seventeen to twenty
three pounds. and from ewes, thirteen
to fifteen pounds, In the mutton. the
fat is well mingled with the mucle, aud
not accumulated in inetlible masses.
and its quality is now regarded us ap-
preaching the Southdown. The unsur-
passed fineness of the Saxon fleeces IL
recognized everywhere.
"rhese results have been accomplish
ell through a firm purpose. persistent
ly carried forward during a period of
eighty years. Although soil and
climate have favored the development
of these sheep. the chief success is due
to the intelligence and persistence with
which tho original plan has been fol-
lowed. Neither the present proprietors,
nor the generations before them, have
ever allowed any other interest to in.
terfere with the purpose which from
the beginning they had set before them
selves, viz, to breed the perfect sheep
and to obta n in every animal the larg.

Bright visions of completeness;
True lovers, aud the steadfast friends
With faces full Of sweetness;
But backward all seems dim aud gray
