1t is clearly understood that the pro-
gramme of the Populists is to at once use
the power of the governor and the state to
force the Republicans to leave the hall
Republicans will resist this, but will be

other Populist leaders calling on the
Populist house to maintain its rights by
arms if necessary. This document was
adopted at a meeting held Wednesday

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 13.-Once more the
wheels of the legislature are blocked, and
this time they seem blocked for good. The
rules for joint sessions provide that the
lieutenant governor shall preside The
house amended this rule so that the speaker
shall preside, but the Democrats and Re-
publicans in the senate defeated the amend
ment in that body. The legislat ure then
adjourned in respect to the memory of
General Butler. The militia was called
out two years ago over a similar contest,
but the lieutenant governor won.

SuWaroff7s Peculiarities,

Suwaro1, Russia's great military COM
mander, was a little man, insignificant in
everything but that intangible power of
mind and character with which physical
strength is never to be compared. He had
oee!i slckly in his youth, but became hardy
under the stimulus of cold bathing and
the benefits of plain diet. Buckets Ct
cold water were thrown over him in the
morning, and his table was served with
fare which guests would fain have refused,
but dared not, lest he should think them
effeminate. He despised dress, and de-
lighted in drilling his men in shirt sleeves,
sometimes with his stockings literally
down at the heel"
But his hardihood of life and action had
its effect on the men he commanded. He
was often up and about by midnight and
would salute the first soldier whom he saw
moving with piercing cockcrow, in com
mendatlon of his early rising. During the
hrst Polish war he had given orders for an
attack at cockcrow, and spy in the camp
carried the news to the enemy. The at
tack, however, really took place at o'clock
on the evening when the arrangement had
been made, for Suwaroff, suspecting treach-
cry, had then turned out his troops by his
well known growing The enemy, expect
ing the event in the morning, were entirely
unprepared, and fell easy victims to his
forethought

Dangerous Conspirator.

Probably no well meaning poet was ever
more taken by surprise than was M. Pech-
antre, gentle and mild hammered French
dramatist of the Seventeenth century, who
was one day arrested for high treason n,
he was peacefully eating his dinner at a
village inn.
The landlord of the inn where he was in
the habit of dining discovered on a table a
piece of paper on which were written some
unintelligible phrases, and below in q
plain, bold hand, Here l will kill the
king"
The landlord consulted with the chief Of
police. Clearly this clew to q conspiracy
ought to be followed up. The person who
had left the paper had already been re.
marked for his absent air and cleaning
eye. That man was Pechantre.
The chief of police instructed the land
lord to send for him the next time the con-
spirator came to dinner.
When Pechantre was shown the evil
dence of his guilt he forgot the awful
charge against him, and exclaimed:
well, am glad to see that paper.

The Old WAY of Passing BiIIs.

A document found among the Duke OF
Rutland's papers at Belvoir castle throws
curious light upon the mode of getting
private bills through the house of commons
in the days of King Charles II. The case
in hand was the divorce bill of John, lord
de Roos, an affair that caused great deal
of gossip in its day. One of his lordship's
agents wrote in January, 1867: "On We'd
nesday last / got six and forty of the house
OF commons to the Dog Tavern, in the
palace yard at Westminster, when were
present Mr.. Attorney General and Mr..
George Montagu. rs soon as they had
dlned we carried them all to the house of
commons. and they passed the bill, as the
committee, without amy amendments, and
ordered it to be reported the next day.

idea in 1873 that too much valuable time
was being wasted n cleaning sardines
when preparing them for the market He
found way OF preparing them without
cleaning them, and on this he took out le:-

slight misgiving as to whether the public
would be perfectly suited with his inven-
