oHAsDLrE,s SUFFRAGE BILL.

The bin OF Senator Chandler for the regu-
lation Of congressional elections, provides
that If IN 3 congressional district ten voters

viii De unfair ii held By state officers, the
United states circuit court shall publish
the fling OF the petition four weeks in adj
vance, and shall take charge OF the election.
Is this an attempt to evade the duty
which the people demand Of this congress?
II certainly looks good deal Ike IL The
districts in which intimidation most largely
exists. and IN which il is best organized,
are the very last districts from which afti-
dayiis would be forthcoming. The chances
are that in the most denseiy populated

South Carolina ard Virginia, or in many
parts Of them. the existence OF such
a Law as this. If il should be passed. would
be carefully suppressed. or At all events
that il would not be so generally disserai-
mated as to secure the required affidAyits
from each" county. or each precinct,
rs the case might be. and one missing pre-
cinct in the one case, or one missing county
in the other, would make the provisions OF
this bill OF none account. Besides, ii would
leave an enforcement Of the guarantees of
the constitution conditional on the alarm
which might be excited ia the minds Of
voters. placing premium on secrecy and
guile. aud tie art Of assimilation. In
consequence, care would be taken to alay
all apprehension in those districts wherein
there would be mos, actual danger. More
over, il is doubtful whether its discrimi-
mating features would not subject such
law 10 constitutional objections.
IL is notorious. and requires no ten affi-
davits per precinct TO establish the fact,
that large portion Of native American
voters are not assured the right Of suffrage.
Such being the fact, it is neither necessary

Making Gold Thread.

The silver is brought from the Bank OF
> England in cakes weighing about 1000
ounces. To secure the necessary degree of
tenacity a certain proportion of copper is
added, and the alleged metal, in the form of
cylindrical bars, is next thoroughly heated.
The hammering process follows, and the bars,
originally about two feet in length and two
inches in diameter, but now half as long
again and proportionately thinner, are in
the next place filed and rubbed until their
surfaces are perfectly even. What we may
call the second part of the process begins with
the laying on of leaf after leaf of gold in the
proportion of 2 per cent. Afterward each
bar is wrapped in paper and well heated in a
charcoal fire A sort of wise stands ready,
and in it, bar after bar as it comes from the
fire, is fixed and thoroughly FURNISHED All
trace of its silver original has now disap-
peared and the bar is ready for conversion
into wire. This is accomplished by drawing
it from 100 to 80 times through ever dimin-
Ishing holes in steel plates; and finally, when
the capabilities of this metal have been ex-
hausted, through apertures in diamonds, ru-
bies or sapphireS.
The delicate wire thus obtained must now
be passed through the steel rollers of one of
brings us to the final process-the spinning
of the fattened wire round silk, to form the
golden thread of commerce. These spinning
machines are worked by water, although two
steam engines are to be found in the factory;
for water power is considered to be more reg
ular and even in its action. There is q small
home demand for the round wire for the
adornment of epaulets, ETC.; but the bulk of
the manufactured article finds its way in the
shape of silky gold thrSad to India and the
far east generally, where it is converted by
skilled native labor into those gorgeous
cloths and tissues in which the heart of the
Oriental delights What a wonderful prop
erty does gold possess in its malleability! 1t
is asserted that every ounce of the bars whose
fortunes we have followed with no little in
teCeSt, each containing only 2 per cent of
gold, will run to the length of from 500
yards to 900 yards, and the amazing figure
of 5000 yards is on record This latter thread
would be finer than human hair, but the ex-
IRENE limit is not even yet reached.

Never Tired.

When this country was first settled, there
was an impression among the colonists that
the Indians had no intelligence nor craft in
their relations with the white men. The
latter soon found, however, that this was not
the case.
Some of the farmers attempted to make
farm servants Of the Indians, but discovered
that they had propensity to get tired" so
soon after they began work that their SER
vices were of little value. One day farmer
was visited by stalwart Indian, who said:
Me want work"
''No," said the farmer, ''you will get tired.
mo, no." said the Indian, ''me never get
tiredr'
The farmer, taking his word for it, set the
Indian at work and went away about some
other business. Toward noon he returned to
the place and found the Indian sound asleep
under a tree
Look here, look here" shouted the farmer,
shaking the Indian violently, you told me
that you never got tired, and yet here you
are stretched out on the ground"
UGH" said the Indian, rubbing his eyes
and slowly clambering to his feet, IF me not
lie down, me get tired like the restr'-Youth'S

Coffee and Its Effects.

The great virtue of coffee is that it stimu-
lates and refreshes; these properties being
due to caffeine. 1t also contains gum and
sugar, fat, acids, caseine and wood fiber
Like tea, it powerfully increases the respira-
ton, but, unlike it, does not affect its depth.
By its use the rate of the pulse is increased,
and the action of the skin diminished 1t is a
mental stimulus of a high order. Carried to
excess, it produces abnormal wakefulness, in
digestion, acidity, heartburn, tremors, debil-
ity, irritability of temper, trembling, irregu-
lar pulse, kind of intoxication ending in de
lirium and great injury to the spinal func
lions. Unfortunately, there are many coffee
tipplers who depend upon pit as a drunkard
upon his dram. On the other hand, >coffee. is
of sovereign efficacy in tiding over the 'ner-
vous system in emergencies. Medical Times

thirty or forty victims often fall in such en-

months old, were found inside the cave half
smothered by the smoke We afterwards
learnt that they had been sent to Algiers for
sale, and for all we know. they may now be

bly, for many years TO come the tribe would
be exempt from similar infiiction. With high
hearts we held our triumphal entry into the
village, amid shouts of victory blended with
death walls, and with lamentations over the
many wounded. Our young hero of the fire
met with his reward. They carried him along
in triumph, and, as he lay Oh his roughly i'm
provised couch faint from loss of blood, but
elated with the consciousness OF his achieve
ment, no mortal could have been happier
than he The whole tribe, young and DID,
paid grateful homage to him as he lay there,

the wilderness, and long may it continue So
Such. then, has been our experience OF
lion hunting in North Africa Furnished
with the best arms of precision, and well sup
