WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The free coin
age men are losing no time in their efforts
to force the Bland bill through the house
before the month of March rolls by. AS
a result of asecret conference of the free
silver measures of the committee on coin
age, weights and measures yesterday, the
following petition, addressed to the COM
mittee on rules, is to-day being circulated
and freely signed by the free coinage
members of the house: "We, the under
signed members of the house, request
that the committee on rules set apart
time for the consideration of the bills of
the committee on coinage, weights and
measures for the free coinage of silver"
"We expect" said Mr.. Pierce, of the COM
mittee on coinage, ''to get every free
coinage member of the house, irrespective
of party, to sign this petition to the COM
mittee on rules. In my opinion, we will
get nearly 200 signatures, and there is no
doubt the result of it will be that the COM
mittee will bring in an order giving us d
date. That being done, the house will
have the question formally before it, and
date satisfactory to the free coinage
men will be agreed upon. This bill is
bound to pass, and we simply propose to
press its consideration while the calendar
is comparatively free."

Labor and Free Coinage.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-The Knights
of Labor will be strongly represented al
coming convention Of grangers and the
labor element which is to open in st.
Louis on Washington's birthday. Gen.
eral Master Workman Powderly says that
the gathering will be great success SO
far as numbers are concerned, and that it
will be the greatest industrial convention
ever held, and that the delegates will be,
in the best and broadest sense, represen-
tatives of the producing classes, entitled
to speak with authority regarding the
political and legislative needs and de-
mands of those who on the farm, in the
mine, in the factory or workshop create
the nations wealth. He does not think
that the advocates of hard money will
make much of showing in the conven-
tion, but that, on the contrary, the gather
ing will declare in favor OF free and un-
limited coinage of silver.

A Natural Pea-shOOter.

Jacks botanical friend, Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, sends him bit of news
about one of the wistarias-those
large -leaved, climbing shrubs that in
June hang their purplish-blue bios
SONS in great clusters upon frames or
doorways, or high up on the front CT
houses and cottages. lie says it is
natural pea-shooter. He found it out
in this way: Wishing to keep some
seeds of the Chinese wistaria, ho
picked few of the pods that follow
the fall of the flowers in autumn, and
laid them upon mantelpiece in his
warm study. Midwinter came, and
one day the gentleman was astonished
TO hear sharp crack, like tiny pls-
tol-shot, and see one of the seeds fly
clear across the room, from its burst
ing pod on the mantel. 1t struck
against the wall as if trying to pass
through it. He laid the other pods
away in paper, and day or two later
heard the sharp little reports made by
their swapping open. This vine, then,
is not content that its seeds shall
simply fall to the ground at its root.
and there spring up into growth, but
the pods wait until they have become
so tense with drying and shrinking,
that they can hold there edges to-
gether at the seam no longer. Then
they fly apart with spring that hurls
the seeds many yards, SO that new
vines may spring up far from the old
one. AS this goes on year after year,
you can easily see how rapidly these
wistarias, if allowed to grow, would
spread themselves over almost any cx-
tent of country.-[ Nicholas.

low. The pearls are gathered at the
bottom Of the sea by divers.
"The reason man with weak
heart is not fit for the work is because
the stopped breath and the pressure of
ninety feet of sea water, with its
weight of sixty-two pounds to the
cubic foot, will bring on palpitaflon
of the heart and burst the weaker
vessels, causing distressing and often
dangerous hemorrhages. But the
divers are still stalwart savages. i'll
such rugged health that the physic
danger never occurs to them. Ihe
dangers constantly menace the diver.
Wherever the oyster grows there also
thrives the giant tridachna, mon-
strous bivalve whose shell is from
4 to 6 feet in length, firmly anchored
to the bottom.
'It lies with its scalloped shells
yawning a foot or more apart. I'M
mcdiately anything touches it the
shells snap together, and once these
large shells are closed not dozen
men out of water could get them
apart, far less the single diver, fifteen
fathoms deep, who may have dropped
into the capacious mouth or have
carelcssy put his hand within its
shells while cropping in the gloom.
"If such fate befal driver there
is only one thing for him to do, and
that is to amputate himself from the
enormous mollusk and rise TO the sur
face, fainting, bloody, and mangled.
These savages will fight anything from
a lion to a python ON land, but they
haven't the courage to run against
bivalve under ninety feet of water
and stand the chance of those yawnlng
shells closing in on an arm or leg
and crushing the bones to splinters.
Uf the monstrous mollusks should
close down and catch the divers head,
of course he would never know what
killed him. His head would be
mashed to a pulp, and it would 60 oil
as if severed by guillotine. l saw
only one native who had been caught
by the mollusk. 1t had closed down
OH his left hand, and the only thing he
could do, as the monster held him was
to cut off his left arm at the elbow"

The Song Of the Rain.

It's rain rain, rain,
From the suns rise till it sets,
And It's rain, rain, rain,
In all shapes and styles OF vets.
It's oh. to be swan
Or fish of the humid flood,
For then there weren't such reason to kick
At this compound of moist and mud.
"Will it never let up," we sigh,
1t comes down fiercer still
Aud ev'ry drop of a heft and size
TO move or drive mill,
The cutters foaming sea,
The streets raging main
And the plashing torrents in liquid notes
Sing: Grain, rain, rain."
If Darwin's doctrines true
That nature kindly gives
To man the means to adapt himself
To the needs Of where he lives,
If the rain keeps up as of late,
Some nigh-by day-who knows?
Just like ducks we may start to look
For webs between our toes.
