by a strange noise, and, going to the
window, saw about thirty robins fight
ing a crow which was trying to get at a
robins nest, in a neal by tree, contain
ing some young birds. The robins finally
drove of the crow. The man went
down to the tree and found one young
robin on tho ground dead, while two
others were safe in the nest. The crow

The question OF fans at church,
brought up by an Ohio clergyman who
asked his congregation to stop tanning
themselves, as it made him so nervous
that he could not preach, promises to be
come an exciting issue. y writer in a
Boston paper who deeply sympathizes
with the Ohio person says: 1--WE have
seen a fan carried to the communion
table, and have been annoyed by its
rustic during the most sacred services.
Not ~infrequently it would clash against
the buttons of the lady's dress or her
brooch, rudcly compelling attention
from the holy instruction, the prayer
for divine help, the solemn chant of the
re Deum and even the litany. Surely
good taste suggests the Punishment Of
the fan from the house of worship"
Thus intelligent Boston opinion is with
the preacher and against the church
fan. Nothing but cool weather can pre-
vent q stupendous controversy in the
religious world. The country expects
the weather man TO do his duty.

1t seems to be a bad thing to inter fcre
with the arrangements Of nature re-
garding the earth's fauna. The whole
sale slaughter OF ~alligators has been
followed by some interesting effects.
In Louisiana the planters say that the
destruction Of these animals has per-
mitted a rapid increase of rats, which,
on account of their destructive work on
the l~eyees, are a terror to people living
near the river. In Florida the diminu-
ton Of alligators has been followed by a
great increase Of moccasin snakes, a
most yenomous serpent, on which they
used to feed. In both cases the huge
saurian, though lacking in personal
beauty and grace of manners, was to be
preferred to the rats and snakes that
have succeeded him. If we should ex-
terminate the troublesome mosquito or
the unnecessary bcdbug nature would
probably exact her penalty.

his action. He seems to think that the
offices belong to him personally, and
not to the people. Mr.. Lincoln thought
otherwise. MIR. Campbell was chairman
of our campaign committee and devoted
months of his time and his whole local
energies for the election of Mr.. Har-
rison. Mr.. Clark did not do this. But
then, this Is Mr.. HarrisOn's way of
rewarding political friends. re-

tions, for it results in a disruption
of the party to which he and | belong.
1t seems to me-" continued the senator,
THAT it is the duty of those holding i'm
pOrtant official positions to try and
carry out the will of the people, but in
this matter Mr.. Harrison has wholly
ignored them and, so far as remem-
ber, this is the first instance in which
the wishes of the entire delegation in
congress from any state has been so
completely disregarded.''

Rowell finished at $50 there was a
motion to adjourn made on the Demo-
cratic side, which was voted down viva
voce, and Mr.. O'Ferrall, of Virginia,
took the floor and began argument in
favor of JackSon's right to the seat.
After speaking half an hour, he sug.
gested that he be allowed to finish his
argument on Monday, and that the
house adjourn. Several Republicans
aSsented to this, but it was not agreed
to, and Mr.. O'Ferrall was ordered
py the speaker to proceed with
ms remarks. Continuing, he asked
to have read or to allow himself to
read from the printed record in the
case, but the speaker decided that ac.
cordlng to the rules ''now governing
this body, gentlemen have no right to
read from printed book" Mr.. OFars
rIell declared he would read this record
IN the case until he dropped in his seat,
Several Republicans challenged him to
go on and do it. Finally, after much
confusion and excitement, it was agreed
that each side should be allowed three
nours for debate on Monday, and with
tnat understanding, but none as to the
time for taking the vote, the house al

latter to prevent vote being taken.

publican member who went to New
York yesterday, was telegraphed for
and he was expected here tonight in
time for the final ballot. Mr.. O'Ferrall's
persistent demand for the clerk to read
copious extracts from a voluminous
record during his speech turned the
tide in favor of the Democrats, and the
Republicans were ready to agree to an
adjournment in order to prevent Mr..
OFerrall from prolonging the session Of

HUsTLING FOR "A QUORUM.
Republicans Want to Decide Elec-
ton Cases Without Aid

CIOn cases WIL0OuG AIQ-
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Republi-
cans have been making strenuous ef-
forts all day to obtain quorum of their
own members in the house to finally dis
pose of the pending election cases with
out recourse to count of Democrats
present and not voting. Yesterdays
largest vote was 1853, or two less than
Republican quorum. This morning Mr..
O'Donnell, of Michigan, who has been
unavOidably absent, returned, and the
Republicans thought they saw their
way clear. Tor his vote, with the addl-
ton of that of the speaker, would
make up 165-just quorum. 1t
was soon discovered, however,
that Representative Niedringhaus, of
Missouri. had Slipped away and gone
over to New York, to the extreme cha
grin and dismay of the whippers-in.
kilograms were Immediately dispatched
to him, requesting his attendance, and
it is possible that he will reach the city
tonight. Meanwhile it was found that
MIR. Rockwell, of Massachusetts, who is
Ill, was willing, in the emergency, to
risk the danger Of exposure and fatigue.
and come to the capitol, SO that quo
rum is still amOung tho possibilities.
The other absentees on the Republican
side are Representative Wilber, of New
York, who is so i'll that his attendance
is out ofsthe quettion, and Representa-
tive CaSwell. This member has been at
the bedside Of sick wife. but news has
just reached here that she is dead, and
Mr.. Caswell, yielding to the emergency,
will sink his private griefs in his public
duties, and be in Washington again
early next week.
