WASHINGTON, May 4.-Congressmen
Seyers, of Texas, and Bland. of Missouri,
have returned to the treasury the drafts
made out in their favor for the money
they lost through the defalcation of Sill
colt and it is understood that others will
follow their example. This action was
taken on the ground that the House
should not have voted to repay its mem
bers for this stolen money. 1t is under
stood that these members hold that the
money they were entitled to was the pro
rata share of what remained in the safe
and they viii not take sum in excess
Of this amount

DlTcHINo PLowS.
An Easior and Cheaper Method Than
Digging by Hand.


In answer to inquiry of tho owner OF
q moderate farm for somo easier an
cheaper way for digging bitches than
doing the work by hand, we may, says
the Country Gentleman, give the state
ment of our own experience with the
ditching plow, when the subsoil was so
hard as to require the use of the pick
for loosening it before shoveling out
the loosened earth. Where the soil is
so soft that 1t may be freely spaded to
depth of three or four feet, the ditch
ing plow would be of no use; and
where the subsoil is entirely free from
stone and the land is quite extensive,
one of the large and costly machines
used at the West would doubtless be
more profitable. f.' sd
We give figure and description of a
aitching plow many years ago, with
which we cut several miles of ditch
through hard subsoil at less than half
the expense of hiring all the work
done by hand. The line of the ditch
was first laid out, and furrow was run
with common plow and repeated two
or three times, as beginning, and to
reduce the whole labor This was then
followed with the ditching plow, which
was similar to commo subsoil plow,

Covered with photographs of Poets,
Painters and Musicians.
An extremely pretty girl, who is a
faithful attendant at the philharmonic
in winter and rarely misses n summer
concert of any merit, has of late carried
a fan that attracts a good deal of atten-
tion. 1t is one of those Japanese affairs,
with few slender bamboo sticks, and
the paper a rough greenish gray, decor
ated in black characters. On each panel
the owner has transferred cabinet
sized photograph of one of the great
composers. First removing the picture
from the card on which it was origin
ally mounted, she has neatly pasted it
on the fan. Engravings have served
when photos were unobtainable, and,
using both sides of the fan, she has
found space for founteen portraits.
Some deft pen-and-ink work has an

treasure is the result. The same young
woman is also as much an enthusiast re-
garding painters, poets and actors as
where the arto music is concerned. She
tells OF three other fans in her possess
sion treated in like manner. One has
photographs of Tennyson, Browning,
Lcrgfellow and Bryant with etchinGs

was on the same principle as the one
above described, being used for loosen
ing the hard subsoil. The point was
of steel; the rest of the plow of bars OF
wrought iron half an inch thick and
two and half inches wide. One end oil
each was welded on the steel which
forms the point, with space of three.
fourths of an inch between for the
beam. A bolt ten inches from the
point was the place from which the
beam drew, and serving as pivot for
allowing it to play up and down or to
rise or fall automatically, according to
the depth of the ditch. This is shown
by the dotted lines. One of these plows
may be made for ten dollars.
Mr. Du Bois gavo us some additional
particulars of its construction at the
time, eight years ago. The bar OF
steel, forming the point and which
was nearly square, weighed about two
pounds, on which the side bars were
welded at slant They were about
four feet long, and the wooden handles
were bolted to them. making eight feet
from the steel point to the ends of the
handles. These gave sufficient lever

age for the plowman to hold it steadily
at the right depth. The plow was one
and three-quarters inches wide, and
good team would draw it through
hard subsoil full of stones. BY length
ening the draft-chain, it could go three
feet deep. 1t was used with long
evener the same as Fig. /, but it was
m ore powerful and durable implement,
and Mr.. Du Bois thinks it will last Il
hundred years. He never had it pat
ented, and sent US the description of it
at the time, to prevent any other per-
son obtaining patent
Another ditching-plow, working in
the same way, is represented in Fig. 3.
1t was made many years ago at Geneva,
n. Y, and was remarkable for its dura-
bility and efficiency. 1t was invented
by man who made ditching his busi-
ness, but whose name we do not know.
Its special value consisted in the two
side points, with the main one in the
center. These could be mudo to cut tho
ditch smoothly and ut precisely tho
right width. 1t was made wholly OF
iron and steel, and weighed seventy
five pounds. The face OF tho middle
point was three-tonrths of an inch wide,
and those of the side points an iuch
and half. The handles aud beam
were fixed, and not rising or falling
the draft-chain regulating the depth.
With good pair of horses, this plow
lossened earth as fast rs twelve men
could throw it out with shovela
