THE ALLIANCE TO CONGRESS.

The ALLIANOG ~ OONphGOAO'
1.-The distress of the people is crying
aloud for relief. They believe that very
many of the questions that are receiv-
ing the attention of congress are far
less urgent than those upon which the
safety of their homes and the welfare of
their families depend. They believe
that the white citizens have some rights
as we'll as the colored citizens of the
south. They believe that the valiant
heroes, both white and black, who
fought for liberty and perpetuating our
institutions, can afford to wait one mo-
ment until the rights of the live heroes
in the present struggle for American
homes receive some recognition by the
men who have been chosen to represent
them IN congress"

Senator Voorhees, thinks that the
remedies to be applied for the relief OF
the business depression now prevalent
are: First, tariff reform second, full
supply of legal tender money; third.
the free coinage of silver; fourth, the
suppression by law of gambling in flu
lures; fifth, a liberal policy of pensions.

President b. II. Glover, of the ALI
ance, said, in recent letter, that the
alliance would demand greater tariff
reductions than the democratic party
ever dreamed of. Every day it is be-
coming more evident that the alliance
has good intentions. and if it c"n only
keep the high protective tariff republi-
cans from running it in the interest OF
Kansas republicanism, it can accom-
plish power of good.

Refining Silver by Electricity.

A foreign exchange says the method of refining silver electrically, the de- talls of which have been worked out by Mr. Moebius, Is now coming into a somewhat extensive use. It is most suitable for the refining of auriferous silver containing about II per cent. of gold, the cost in this case being only about I'd. per pound. The principle upon which the method is based con- sists in using, in an ordinary electro lytlc bath, anodes of an argentiierous matte and thin plate of pure silver as the cathode The bath consists of a very weak solution of nitric acid con- taining about one per cent. tine acid The anodes, which are about 9-incb thick, with a surface Of about 13. , square inches, are placed in muslin bags, which retain the gold, platinum, peroxide of lead, and similar foreign minerals contained in the matte. The current used is 150 amperes, and the potential difference between the plates one volt. PurIng the whole period of work, brushes are kept movlng up and down the silver plates, which sweep of the silver deposited into troughs put for the purpose at the bottom of the bath. These troughs are removed from time to time, and the silver taken out and sent to the furnace. If tue matte contains copper, this Is dissolved by the nitric acid, but is not deposited on the cathode. The electrolytic method of treating mates containing the precious metals will doubtless come into very general use when its value is better understood.

RivaIinG BeIiamy's Widest Drcaul.

A press dispatch from Atlanta, Ga.. states that the reports current that President Livingston intended to put Farmers Alliance candidate in-every Georgia district for Congress, denied at first, are made certain by recent de- velopments. Livingston declares that the farmers will capture the primaries and put their own men in. To begin with, series of questions have been prepared which all candidates must answer affirmatively. The first pledges the candidates to support the Farmers Sub-Treasury-that is, the Govern ment shall establish in every neigh borhood bonded warehouse, in which the entire agricultural output will be stored, to be sold whenever the owner likes the tone of the market.
 In the meantime the Government is to advance to every farmer so per cent of the value of what he has in store. This will make the Govern ment the owner of 80 per cent. of the agricultural products of the country. This claim is made as having prece- dent in the treatment of distillerS by the Government. As no Democratic candidate can pledge himself to this programme, it means that Livingston will put up candidates who will.
 The next pledge Is one binding the candidates to vote for Government control of railroads, telegraphs and telephones, and to have stations and offices placed at points of convenience to farmers. This programme has ere ated much comment.

Our Millionaire senators.

The New York World has an article on rich United States Senators, in which the conclusion IS reached that the seventeen millionaires who have seats in that body are more celebrated as the possessors of cash than as the owners of brains. Of our own repre- Sentatives in the upper house 1t says of one that unless It IS that he finds 1t to his advantage to be on hand to watch his Pacific railroad interests, his presence in the Senate IS difficult to solve" and ot the other that he lis much better known as the owner of a string of crack racing horses than as United States Senator; that he IS rare ly ever in his seat and then only as an observer, and that he contributes nothing whatever to the debates or in- tellectual conferences of the commit tees The World suggests nc remedy for this state of affairs, but the Chron- icle has couple to propose. One is that the people should be allowed to choose their representatives in the up per house of Congress instead of al
 lowing the highest bidder to take the position. If that is not practicable, then the Senate should provide that its members have certain qualifca- tions. It is obviously unfair that n applicant for thousanddollar clerk
 ship under the Government should be required to have more bralns than a Senator, yet as things are now man. aged an employe whose most import ant duty Is to copy an entry is re- quired te know more than the men who make our laws.-S. r. Chronicle.

The Angry Plant.

A specimen of the specles of the aca- cia commonly called the angy tree was brough from Australia and set out at Virginia, NeY. When the sun sets, the leaves fold up and the tender twigs coil tightly, like a little pigs tall. Ii the shoots are handled the leaves rus tie and move uneasily for time. Ii this queer plant is removed from one part to another it seems angry, and the leaves stand out m all directions like quills on a porcupine. A most purgent and sickening order, said to resemble that given off by rattlesnakes when annoyed, fills the air, and it is only after an hour or so that the leaves fold in the natural way.-Ex.

LIFE OF A TEACHER.
Not Always Pleasant and Never Too Lib
 eralIy Rewarded.

! Not AlWayS Pleasant anu Never TOO LID
 erally Rewarded.
 Until within a few years a woman, ] thrown upon her own resources, turned to teaching as her only means of mak- ing a livelihood. Now, happily, other avenues are open to her, for say what you will, the life of teacher is hard one and the pay poor.
 One hears, of course, of the fashion, able city school, where the principal calls it a bad year if she clears only thirty thousand dollars She owns one or two very handsome houses, fur nished with the "spoils of travel. :" She dresses in purple and fine linen and fares sumptuously every day, but what of the fifteen or twenty teachers whom she employs?
 They live; that is all.
 T have taught for nearly fifteen years" a lady said to me the other day, ''and probably I shall spend the remainder of my days in the school room, for there is no such thing as gaining any thing beyond mere living by that means, and if it happens that one decides to keep on living, that nat urally means that one must keep on teachingn
 The head teacher of English receives salary of $l. 200 possibly. The sala- ries of other teachers average from $400 to $500 a year. The French, Ger man aud music teachers are always pretty well paid.
 There is a quick-witted damsel in this city who, every Monday during the winter, takes lesson in elocution from Prof. -, at s an hour. and every Wednesday teaches elocution to a class of twenty women, who each pay her $1. So that by simply transmit ting the professors instruction she clears $17 8 week. Last year she taught Delsarte and lunch conversa- tion, and coached for private theatri- calls. Her 'chum" gives lessons in writing, grammar, etc., to actresses, nouveaux riches and others whose early education has been neglected. Between them they made 5000 last year. |.
 The position of resident governess is considered an extremely disagreea- ble and trying one. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are uncom. monly rare. And then the accom- plishments one is expected to possess! She-the prospective governess-must have a thorough knowledge of all the sciences, mathematics, higher English, with the ability to converse duentlyin all the modern languages. She must also read Greek and Latin and be a finished musiqian, qualified to develop a love of the true and the beautiful in any directionfoward which the tender plant-her Tilpil-may incline. She must also show material regard and interest in lhe little darling at all times If she can meet these require ments she will be offered a home and a salary of $20 month!-N. Y. Star

 among s shsl6oring est classes against afsti in novation, Particularly labor-saving ma chinery and appliances. No native peon can be, persuaded to use wheel barrow. HeNprefers to carry his load upon his head. and if it is too heavy for him he seeks the assistance of a friend and loadsi it upon a sort of bier with double hart lies and broad straps to go over the s19 9ulders to be lifted and carried by a Nman at either end. Heavy furniture and trunks are car ried miles in this way.
 The native farmers blow with a crooked stick with one handle, just as the Egyptians diA-iI the days of Moses, and nothing can induce them to adopt the modern two-handled steel affair They simply can't do it, and they won't. General Guzman-Blanco, who was always favorable to the in troduction of labor-saving machin- Cl anu LEGtilOlSJ dG Olt bILlG attempted to enforce the use of i'm proved agricultural implements. but he was compeled to give it up as bad job. The productiveness of the re- public might be enormously increased, as Guzman realized, by enabling one man to do the work of two, or six. or ten, for the great drawback is the icarcity of labor: but the peons are stubborn, more stubborn than stupid, and will insist upon doing every thing their fathers did, and their great grandfathers, for that matter. It is The same spirit, the same resistance to innovations, that causes them to ship their coffee and sugar upon the backs of donkeys instead of the raj road; that requires the payment for produce in coin instead of checks, and causes that coin to be hidden away under an old stump or crack in the roof in stead of being deposited in bank to draw interest and increase the circu- lating medium.
 l IlO W OI NALs -AIACh5 lilC 4hCClttilLCSB know nothing of labor-saving ma chinery All the timber and wood work for house-building is dressed by hand. There is not such a thing as a planing-mill or sash factory in the whole country, and all the furniture and cabinet work is made the same way. You will always find locks placed upon the doOr-casings and the socket for the bolt screwed upon the door, and the locks are invariably upside down. When you call attention to ii you are told that it is the custom Of the country. When a house is being erect ed, whether it is one story or two, the solid walls are first raised to their full height. and then holes are chiseled out 10 admit the ends of the rafters and tilnbers for the floors. It never oc- CUTS to the builder that an easier way &ould be to set the timbers in the walls as he lays the bricks. W. E Curtis, in Chicago News

America has the opportunity of a century to gain control of the trade of Brazil. Tue difficulty between Por- tugal and England has caused strong feeling Of resentment to rise in Brazil against Great Britain, and every eff fort is being made to turn trade Tn other directions. Leagues have been formed in Rio Janeiro, Bahia, Para, Santos and Pernambuco to boycott British goods and to encourage com merce with America. Ii the Yankee traders on our Atlantic coast fail to take advantage of this favorable state of affairs they do not deserve to have any foreign trade.

Spoiled by a Habit.

Many of the badly shaped mouths that are the sorrows of the young wo- men of today result from their being permitted when they were children to suck their fingers. Oneof the pret- tiest women in New York has coarse, thick lips, that come from having been allowed, when she was going to sleep, to put her thumb in her mouth; while another, whose lips protrude in the center and whose mouth is large, now planes her mother for allowing her to find consolation in her two fGretingers.

One of the great woodworking in dustries of this country and rapidly growing one, Is the manufacture of shoe pegs. The capital invested in the ten factories engaged in thIs industry amounts to S175,000 and gives en- ployment to 300 hands. Within the recent past, large quantities of shoe pegs were imported from England, but now the United States exports to England, as well as to almost every European country. To the uninitia- ted it will appear as one of the conun- drums of the age how they can be pro- duced at the prlceS they command in the markets, VIZ: 35 cents per bushel for those called two-eighths up to 95 cents for eight-elghths.
