& High SINGER.

The lark ascends until it looks no larger
than 4 uidge, and can with difficulty be
seen by the unaided eye, and yet every
note viii be clearly audible to persons
who are fully half mile from the nest
over which the bird utters its song.
Moreover, it never ceases to sing for a
moment, Il feat which seems wonderful
to Us human beings, who find that song
of six or seven minutes in length, though
interspersed with rests and pauses, is
more than trying. Even practiced pub
lie speaker, though he can pause at the
eEd Of each sentence, finds the applause
of the audience a very welcome relief.
Moreover, the singer and speaker need to
use no eXertion save exercising their
voices. Yet the bird VIII pour cut con-
tinUous song Of nearly twenty minutes
il length, and all the time has to sup
Port itself in the air by the constant ,se
Of its wings.-Ihe Naturalist.

Prices of Some Rare Manuscripts

Washington's farewell address was
bought by James Lennox of New York
for $2O03. We think it was well worth
the money, but do not think the letter OF
Washington to the mayor, recorder, al
dcrman and commonality Of the city, oi
New York, in response to the presenta-
ton OF an address and the freedom OF the
city in golden box, to be worth the
sum OF T2O50, which extraordinary price
it fetched at the auction sale Of John Al
len in May, 1864. This is, we believe,
the highest price on record for an auto
graph letter OF Washington.

A Resolution in the Jnitcd states S"rat"
on the Death Of bright.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The vice pTesi-
dan- laid before the senate Stewart's res
olution expressing the profound sorrow
of the senate at the death Of John Bright.
Sherman suggested that il the resolution
was adopted it might establish prece-
dent that would return to plague the
senste. Hawley remarked that no such
occasion was likely 10 arise again, for ii
tbe United States ever had 4 friend III
time Of need that friend was John
Bright. Hoar thought in this particular
case the senate was safe, as it was not at
all likely that a state OF things would be
liable to arise that would establish be
tween the United states and citizens OF
a foreign country peculiar relation OF
respect on one side and tender grateful
affection on the other, than existed in
this country towards the great English
statesman, who has just gone TO his last
home. Hoar proceeded at some length
to recount the services OF Bright in
moulding English sentiment in favor of
this country, during the rebellion, and
preventing its recognition OF the confed-
crate states by the English government.
Sherman, while yielding to none in
respect fax Bright was opposed to the ex-
ample when he resolution would set,
but he would offer no obstacle to it,
and would withdraw his motion to refer.
Regan referred to 4 false step taken
BY false representative some years ago
in the passage OF a resolution compliment
tary TO members OF the German
Reichstag and having it returned disdain-
fully bv Bismarck. He said he renewed
Sherman's motion to refer. Senator
Stewart was opposed to refer the eulogy
Oh the character OF Bright as leader
among men, not only by inheritance OF
rank, but by right of great national en-
dorsement, and high moral integrity.
His public life for nearly half century
having been conspicuous in an heroic
effort to remedy ancient abuses. Sena-
tor Hawley said the incident to which
Senator Reagan referred, differed in all
respect from the case of Bright, III that
case the persons the commended had
been engaged in a bitter cOntroTerSy
with the government and the house had
directed that a copy OF the resolutions be
sent to that government; in this case
there was no such proposition, 1t was
nothing TO the senate whether anybody
thought of John Bright as the senate
did.
Reagan's motion to refer was carried
The vice president stated that he was
about to vacate the chair for the re-
mainder of the session, and thanked the
senator's for the courtesy shown him.
Ingalls was elected president protein and
toob the oath OF such and the senate
then went into executive session.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The senate in
executive session confirmed all the nom
nations OF delegates to the South Amer
lean conference; also nominations OF
Wm. +. Wharton, as assistant secretary
Of state and L. B. Prince as governor Ol
New Mexico; Geo. II. Shields, assistant
attorney general; Robt- J. Fisher, Oi

Professor Nipher's recomment.. atom OF
state weather service, as supplement ary
TO the national signal service, is callins
attention and general discussion to it.
That Ourservice is incomplete at present
is evident. The chief damage done to
our crops is not by tho great storms that
destroy shipping and wreck buildings,
but By storms quite local in origin and
IN range. The general service can only
refer to these in general terms rs local
storms ''in northern Illinois" or sin

but state service would have for its
special work 20 forecast these less ex-
tended and localized disturbances and
announce them to the agriculturists.
