THE BOND AMENDMENT.


The Senate Recedes From It-1r. Shermsn's
Explanation.
The Senate yesterday afternoon, on 0 viva
voce vote, disagreed to their amendment to the
sundry civil bill allowing the Secretary Of the
Treasury to issue 8 per cent bonds. The prin-
cipal speech was made by Mr.. Sherman, who
favored the amendment, and during the course
Of his remarks he digressed in order to pay
compliment to Mr.. Carlisle, saying that he
knew no man in the United States better fitted
to hold the Office Of secretary Of the Treasury.
He went on to say that when he offered the
bond amendment he had no expectation that
there would be any opposition to it. The pre-
tension that it repealed any other provision Of
the resumption law was absolutely unfounded
Mr.. Shetman's speech was replied to by
Messrs. Stewart (Nev), Wolcott and Teller
(Col), Mr.. Teller expressing his belief that no
bonds, whether per cent or per cent, would
be issued by the incoming Secretary of the
Treasury.
Mr. German md stated that he had full au-
thority for saying that the bond amendment
had been reported after consultation with the
President and with the next Secretary OF the
Treasury. But it was possible that the sun
dry civil appropriation bill would be defeated if
the amendment were insisted upon. and for
that reason, and that alone, he suggested that
the House would reject the amendment.
Mr.. Sherman-I certainly would not insist
upon any amendment (however strongly 1
favored it, which the other house resoutely
in defeating appropriation bill.
The vote was taken and the Senate without a
division) receded from the Sherman amend
ment

From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
A French photographer lately invented q
process by which bit Of ordinary paper-the
leaf Of book, for example-can be made SEN
sitive to the light without affecting the rest of
the page. Acting on this hint the French war
minister has begun to take the portraits of con.
scripts and recruits on the paper, which gives
their height, complexion, age. &C.. and the
cheapness and swiftness Of the operation, which
is already in use in the French army, is some
thing remarkable. 1t costs only cent to get
two copies of a portrait of Jacques Bonhomme
one tor his individual register and the other
for his muster roll; and SO rapid is the process
that in Q few hours whole regiment can be SO
photographed. The soldiers file along, one BY
one, and each sits for three seconds in the pho
tographic chair and the thing is done.
They even mark the mans regimental num-
Der on his breast with chalk. and thus get q
complete Identification of him in case of deser-
ton or death, or when a discharged soldier pre-
sents his claim for pay or a pension. II such a
system had been in use during our civil war the
pension bureau would not now be paying out 80
many thousand dollars a quarter to deserters,
bounty Jumpers and other sham heroes Of the
Union army.

Startling Stage Realism Ingeniously Made
of Harmless Material.
Prom the Boston Herald
There are, indeed, tricks in all trades, and, az
the theatrical business has become more or less
Of trade, it follows that 1t has its tricks. In
cali Baba," the big spectacle which will be
presented by the American Extravaganza Com
pany at the Globe Theater on Monday night,
there appears at given hour something which
makes r man who has been drinking feel queer,
while the prohibition contingent look at it with
horror and then with delight. This is the
snake or, as it is billed. the dragon, and it ia
forty feet long. 1t is q very ingenious affair,
and was made in Paris by NJ. Ganet, the master
of properties of the Chatelet Theate-.
The body Of the reptile is nothing more nor
less than twenty young women who travel on
all tours, and who, a. the right moment and q
given signal, jump up and reveal themselves az
diaboical sprites. They are clad in gray tights
and green bOdices, and on their heads are little
horned skull caps. The article of attire that
gives to each the appearance Of portion OF
the serpent's body, and which, when the twenty
girls creep along in follow-the-leader fashion
makes wriggling. creeping snake of INDUSTRIOUS
size, is satin-lined cloak of thin canvas, which
is roughly painted and mottled in green, yellow
and white to represent the scales Of Q reptiles
hide.
The awe-inspiring, bird-like head, with roll.
ing, CHASTITY eyeballs and crocodile jaws. ser.
rated with rows Of cruel. sharp teeth. is said te
be the most ingenious part of the affair. 1t il
made of papier msche and wicker work, hgh'
enough for q boy to carry, and with devices
! inside to move the jaws and eyes.
The eyes are swung on q pivot. and worked
BY means OF . spiral spring. The huge jaw
are hinged. and stout lever inside, with tn.
| aid of little muscle, makes them snap and
yawn ferociously. Each nostril is shaped lk,
the crater Of volcano. and the aperture from
which the molten lava would come Ii replaced
by q little alcohol lamp, the faint, blue fame o
which cannot be seen from beyond the foot
lights; over each Of these lamps the fan-shapet
mouth Of long tube comes. About six inche
from the lamp and connected with the tube is
| receptacle for lycopodium. When the boy Wit
manipulates the apparatus concludes that it i
proper for the dragon to make an imposing dis
play Of its ferocity he blows through the tube
