members OF the com uittee that he has

hand Senator Butler has requested the
3ohaifman of the committee, Senator
Pugb, to invite Senator IrbY 10 appear
before thy committee tomorrow and
state his objections. Senator Butler pro-
poses to be present and he will be pre-
pared TO refnte such charges as the jun
ior Senator may offer. Several members
of the committee have consulted Senator
Butler as to the character and legal abili-
1ty of Judge, ,Simonton, and they are very
well satisfied that the PresidonE made no
mistake in selecting Judge Simonton for
the place to which he has oeel1 nomi-
mated. Senator Butler could not have;
stated Judge Simonton's case stronger
than when he Informed SenaGor Pugh
that Judge Simonton's appointment was
one Of the best selections made by the
present Administration. Senator Irby5

of the nomination until after the holiday

reasons he may find some difficulty in

M Samuel a.. Towns, ex-maydr Of Green
vile, may be appointed to the internal
revenue collectorship as a compromise
between Ben Perry and other applicants
who have been previously named in con-
nectioix with that Office. Perry's friends
have thrown up the sponge and he may
have to be satisfied with deputyship.
The Preside w ben recently appealed to
In behalf OF Mr.. Perry, decided that he
could not appoint that gentleman. AT the
same time he suggested that 1t might be
well to, select a man outside Of those who
have already been spoken of for the
place. a few days later the name Of Mr..
Towns was suggested. Itis claimed that
he is q good Democrat, capable OF filling
the Office acceptable to all concerned, and
but for tho suggestion of the President
his friends would not have brought him
forward. In this connection IL is said that
Alan J ohnston might have had a walk

urged to Keep him in the back ground

to have arisen, SO that he might be

through his friends, it is probable that he
will not bD considered by the President

The Yosemite Valley in Winter.

Snowstorm follows snowstorm Winter
has spread his icy mantle over the Yose-
mite. The mighty cliffs and domes look
down upon the valley as in the summer
months, but it is with fOrbidding state
illness and with threatening aspect. How
changed the scene and different the at
fractions! The smiling vale is no longer
gay with gorgeous bowers a. d bright
with green meadowlands; no longer is it
resonant with the hum of busy insects,
the murmuring lullabies of slumbering
streams and the joyous songs of summer
birds; zephyr no longer whispers to the
pine fronds as he floats softly trough
the forest, and echo no longer repeats
the EXPLANATIONS of glad visitors. The
Mercc rolls its swollen current impetu
ously through the valley, flooding many
an acre of the meadowland-for rain as
we'll as snow has fallen; the woods are
hoar e with protesting against the fierce
ness of the storm blasts; the snow slide
holds the beholder in awe as it races
with the waterfall in its downward
plunge, and slabs of talus and unshapely
chunks of rock loosen their hold of their
parent cliff as water and weather 20 their
work and arc washed with din and head
long speed down into the valley. 1t is
true that ouch terrifying storms do not
occur with frequency, but one such was
witnessed by Mr.. Hutchings and his
family during the winter of 1867, when
they were the only residents in the val
ley. On that exceptional occasion the
rain poured down necessarily for ten sue
cessive days; all the meadowland was
covered with a surging flood; large trees
were swept over the ridge of the Upper
Yosemite and shivercd into flag ncnts on
the granite rocks, and pines and cedars
were blown down and piled in CON
fusion upon each other by the windstorm
that followed the rain Californian.

A POPULAR BREED OF SHEEP.

The Dorset sheep has bee ome exceed
ingly popular in the last two or three
years. This popularity is due to its re-
markable tecundity and its habit of
breeding at any time of the year, thus
producing lambs that may be sold at the
holiday season, when all the luxuries of
the table are in the greatest demand. 1t
is somewhat strange that thus sheep has
been so long neglected, but the low price
of most farm products has been a spur
to enterprise in this direction, and this
useful sheep may now be considered rs
fully natural:zed On this side Of the At
lantic.
This sheep is ite-faced, in fact al
white, and has close, short fleece OF
four to five pounds and tuft on tue
face. Its mutton is next to the South
down in general estimation, but the car
cass is larger. The most valuable char
acteristic, however, is the early breeding,
taking the ram in the spring and rearing
lamb in the fall, so as to be fat for
market at Christmas, which is a special
holiday in En- gland, and more thought
of, perhaps, than here. They breed
again very soon after lambing, and thus
produce two, and generally multiple,
births within the year. The second
lamb, however, is generally not pure
bred, but cross intended for mutton,
and for this purpose the spring lamb is a
cross commonly of the Southdown, and
it is sent to market as such, on account
of the greater popularity of this black
faced breed in English markets. There
is unquestionably wide place for this
valuable breed in America, where the
sheep industry is not nearly so well de
veloped as it should be.-New York
Times.

THE BODY AND IT'S HEALTH.

RISE EARLY.-The excellence of early
rising and its inspiring influence on both
body and mind have been themes for the
poets song and the sagc's sermon. Early
rising promotes checrfulncss of temper;
opens up new capacities Of enjoyment
and channels of delight to which the
sluggard must be insensible. 1t increases
the sum of human existence by S ding
from Incidence hours that would be IL ter
ly wasted, and, better still, unquc ii )na-
bly, conduces to longevity. All long
livcrs have been early risers. Now, the
habit of retiring to bed at late hours will
hardly admit of early rising, III refore
the necessity of refraining from the one
in order to secure the advantage of the
other. From six to eight hours are gen.
orally held to be sufficient, and no doubt
on the average are so. Our sleep is reg
ulated much by the season. In winter
people lie longer, on account, as they
say, of its being too dark to get up early.
There is some plausibility in the reason,
but the system in cold and dark weather
is more prone to sleep than in light and
sunny times. Invalids need generally
plenty of bed rest, but they should pro-
cure it by going early to bed. There is
mole health and strength to be found in
the practice of seeing the sun rise than in
looking at it in any other part of the
day.

Animals View of Man.

Savage man, who has generally
been first in contact with animals, is
usually hunter, and therefore an
object Of dislike TO the other hunting
animals, and Of dread to the hunted.
But civilized man, with his supply Of
bread and beef, is not necessarily a
hunter, and it IS just conceivable
that he might be content to leave the
animals in a newly discovered country
unmolested, and condescend, when
not letter employed, to watch their
attitude toward himself.
The impossible island in The
Swiss Family Robinson" in which
hat the animals of the two hcmi-
spheres were collected, would be an
ideal place for such an experiment.
But, unfortunately, uninhabited
islands seldom contain more than
few species, and those generally
birds or sea beasts: and in newly dis
covered game regions savage man has
generally been before us with his ar
row, spears and pitfalls. Some in
stances Of the first contact Of animals
with man have been preserved IN the
accounts Of the early voyages collect
ed by Uakinyt and others, though
the hungry nayigators were generally
intent on victualing the ships with
the unSu-pecting beasts and birds, or
on noting those which would be u G.
fui commodities for "tratficke," than
in cultivating friendly relations with
the animal inhabitants of the newly
discovered i>lands.-Popular Science
