Pressure Sustained by Divers.

A veteran submarine diver, in relat-
ing some anecdotes concerning the
bottom of the sea and its inhabitants,
gives some interesting figures as to the
amount of pressure the body of the
diver is subjected to. At a depth of
only one hundred feet the pressure is
sorty-four pounds to each square inch
of the divers surface. The ordinary
human frame has about twelve square
feet of surface, which would make the
pressure at the depth mentioned above
not less than thirty-eight tons. This
enormous weight is not all pressing
downward, but inwards from all direc-
tionS.

suFFIclENT uNTo HERsELF.
The Young Woman Had No Need of AS

The Ioung woman Had No Need OF As
sistance of Any Kind.
The lxind-hcarted old gen tleman
watched the young woman seated next
to him in the elevated train with in
terest, says the New York World. She
held magazine in her hands with the
leaves uncut. She looked through the
tab1esof contents and raised the cor
ners of the leaves so as to geta glimpse
of various Illustrations. The old gen
tleman drew out his pocketlnife hesi-
tatingly. He opened it still more hesi-
tatingly. The young woman seemed
entirely oblivious of his acts and evil
dent intentions, but their fellow pas
sengers were able to arouse great
deal of interest in the proceeding.
Finally, just as the old gentleman
reached forward. extending his knife,
the young woman dexterously drew
ont hatpin and began cutting the
leaves of her magazine. The old gen
tleman leaned back and delivered him
self of confidential aside to the man
next to him:
s'I have heard, he said, ''that women
can do anything with their hairpins
and hatpins, but at any rate they'd
need knife to sharpen pencils"
And at that moment the provoking
young woman drew pencil from her
reticule bit the wood off the top of it,
and made a note on the article she was
reading. The car giggled and the old
gentleman began to read his paper
with an injured air.

FLOWERS OF THE NIGHT.
Peculiarly Adapted to Attract Winged
Insects.


Insects.
As we all know, there are day-bloom-
ing and night-blooming flowers, says
the Cornhill Magazine. The former
lay themselves out for the fertilizing
visits of bees and butterflies; they
are generally decked in red, blue, yel-
low or purple, and have often lines, spots
or markings on their petals which
point to the nectaries and so act as
honey guides. The night-blooming
flowers, on the other hand, lay them
selves out for the visits of moths or other
crepnscular insects, and therefore have
recourse to something like the tactics
of the ireflies and the glow-worms.
They are usually pure white and the
petals are often of such peculiar tex
ture that they seem to glow with in
ternal light in the dim shades of even
ing. AT times one might almost fancy
they were stained by nature with
some curious forerunner of luminous
paint, so strongly do they reflect every
invisible ray of the faint twilight.
They thus succeed in catching the
eyes of moths, which, of course, are es-
pecially modified for receiving and per-
ceiving the slender stimulus of dusk
and the CLEANING.
But the nocturnal flowers have no
lines or spots, because these last could
never be perceived in the gray gloom
of evening. They make up for it, how
ever, by being heavily scented; indeed
almost all the strong white flowers
like jessamine, tuberose, gardenia
stephanotis, cereus and syringa, which
are such favorites with florists, belong
to night-blooming plants, specially
adapted to attract the eyes and noses
of night-hying insects.

The AUTHOR OF "sPARTAcus.,
Composed by Elijah kellogg When Stu
dent at Andover.

Composed by Elijah kellogg When Stu
dent at Andover.
Talking with q correspondent of the
Boston Herald Rev Elijah Kellogg, of
Harpswell, Me-, thus described how he
wrote that favorite defamation of
school boys: ''Spartacus to the Gladia-
tors:
SIT was while 1 was at Andover,' .
said he, smiling as the remembrance
of the event came back to h1m. '.We
were required to prepare speeches for
our rhetorical exercises, and after each
: man had spoken he was subjected to
criticisms by his fellows-and their
comments weren't always so compli-
mentary as they were pointed. Then
the professor would follow with seri-
Gus criticism, and he always found
faults that needed correcting.
$50 these speeches came to be looked
upon with dread, and at last made up
my mind that I'd try to get something
so different from anything we had had
and so interesting that it would hold
their attention too closely for them to
think about points on which to criti-
else me, and so 1 would get off free.
t'WeIl, wrote 'Spartacus. When I
began it worked just as 1 had ex-
pected. They were SO taken by sur
prise that they never thought of any
thing but the speech. You could have
heard pin drop at any time while I
was speaking, and they did not recover
until 1 had finished and had come down
to ask for criticism.
''Then when Prof. Payne turned to
the students and inquired: What
criticism have you to offer, young gen
tlemen?' there wasn't one of them had
word to say, for they were all think
ing of the piece and hadn't noticed
anything else.
Gentlemen said the professor,
I'VE are not here for theological dis
QUESTIONS nor for learned arguments,
but these exercises are purely rhetor-
ical. and, gentlemen, that is rhetoric
''Then, turning to me, he remarked;
! could criticise you, Kellogg, but I
don't know whether it would do you
more good or harm, and so, on the
whole, think 1 will say nothing
''So,' added the old gentleman, with
a chuckle, 81 escaped criticism

THE GERMAN EMPEROR.
He Attends a Dinner Given by Capri'
Treaty With Russia Signed.

He Attends a Dinner Given by CapriYi
Treaty With Russia Signed.
BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The Emperor this
evening attended a dinner given by Won
Caprivi to Members of Parliament, and
delivered a speech. He announced the
fact that a treaty of commerce with Rus
sia had been signed. His majesty said
he never before had asked the Reichstag
to make decision so fraught with i'm
portant consequences as this treaty. Its
rejection would be inevitably followed
by tariff war, and at not a remote
period by a real war. LET every
deputy" he continued, realize his re-
sponsbiity. The favorable terms of the
treaty were entirely due to the personal
intervention of the Gar and his strong
love of peace. The treaty is marked
throughout by love and peace. The Gar
had been compelled to overcome a vigor-
Gus resistance on the part of the manu-
featuring and commercial interests of
Russia
The Emperor William was exceedingly
gracious and animated, and remained at
the soiree three hours.
Levltzow, President of the Reichstag,
submitted to the Emperor the grievances
of the farmers against the financial re-
form bill. His majesty listened atten-
lively, and then repeated that the passage
of the bin was of high political necessity.
By passing it the Reichstag would win
the lasting gratitude of Germans, and
concluded by saying that patriotism and
responsibility forbad its rejection.

His Peculfarfties and Weaknesses Dis
cnssed by One Who KNOWS Him.

His Peculiarities and Weaknesses Dis
cussed by One Who Knows Him.
There are, no doubt, a good many
worthy people, says the C01tr3eT-J0u2Yla{,
who advise folks against moving to Ken
lucky because their typical entuckian
is a blossom -nOsed hre-eater, who goes
about with his trousers stuck into cow
hide boots, slouch hat staggering over
his eyes, a whisky flask proEruding from
one pocket, revolver from another and
a bowie knife from the bootleg. Their
representative kentuckian kills a man
every morning for breakfast and goes to
bed every night too gloriously drunk to
take his clothes off. They divide Ken
lucky into two clasSes-the horse racers
and the feud fighters. They consult dime
novel accounts of the mountain vendet-
tas as authorities on kentucky life, and
they accept and disseminate the opinion
that Kentucky is good place for a man
of peaceful inclinatiOns to stay away
from. Another picture of the Kentuck-
ian, less omplimentary, but as an ay-
erage type scarcely less untrue to life, is
that of the old Kentucky gentleman,
whose religion is to have a "hoss'' and
cuss niger, who has highly wrought
notices of gallantry, wraps himself i'll an
atmosphere of romance and chlValry,
worships the memory of Henry Clay,
ping stories, playing poker and slipping
mint iuleps, and is in ali respects a harm
less, kindly, clustering, inane, indolent,
boastful and utterly impracticable MEM
Der and type of sOmnolent society.
The fault of the seeker after types is the
disposition to generalize on too slight
foundation Such men as these there are
in Kentucky. The teud fighter is here,
though we have quieted him by hang
ing or imprisoning his fellow outlaw.
He chiefly lives now in the impossible
romances which space writers have woven
about as cowardly set of assassins as
ever skulked behind rock or fired an
undefended mountain cabin. The fine
old kentucky gentleman is here, too, and
may there be to him and his peace and
plenty in the mellow evening OF a kindly
lite. The younger SONS of Kentucky
honor his virtues and wear them when
they can, borrowing from his courtly
example much that makes the genuine
gentleman. So much do we love him and
honor him that we are disposed to resent
any rude exaggeration of his lovely pc
culiarities by those who cannot appreci-
ate him, and who do not understand that
the qualities which most distinguish him
may adjust themselves in his sons and
grandsons to changed conditions OF life.

NOMINATION OF PECKHAM.
Threats of the President in Case the
Former is Rejected.

Threats of the President in Case the
Former is Rejected.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Commercial
Ad0ertise1's Washington special says:
Cleveland to-day made last effort to
save Wheeler II. Peckha from the fate
of Hornblower. Through trusted in
termediary he conveyed to the two New
York Senators threat that if the NOM
ination of Peckham for the vacancy on
the Supreme Court Bench is rejected by
the Senate he will not nominate another
man from the Empire State. The Presi-
dents messenger made a strong point of
the fact that this would throw the re-
sponsibility of the States not being rep
resented in the Supreme Court upon
Senator Hill. This threat had no effect
upon either Hill or Murphy.
The friends of the Administration in
the judiciary Committee then proposed to
Hill that the nomination of Peck ham be
reported back without recommendation.
This was, of course, to avoid an adverse
report. Hill promptly declined this
proposition, having no lack of confidence
in his ability to secure an adverse report.
NO ACTION TAKEN BY THE SENATE.
WAsHIN NGToN, Feb. 5.-The Senate Ju-
dietary Committee sat until 12:l5 to-day,
a quarter of an hour beyond the usual
time, in an effort to arrive at conclusion
on the nomination of Peckham for Asso-
ciate Justice, but was compelled to ad
iourn without taking action.

the latter they were only concerned about
White supremacy.
Frye reviewed the history of the Presi-
Dental election iii 1865 and the Tammany
frauds in New York City, and asserted
that Tammany was just as determined to
avail itself of violation of law now as in
1868. Turning to Palmer. he asked ::
docs the Senator from Illinois think it
was the duty of the United States to take
cognIZance of these violations and crimes
against the ballot in the Empire State, or
does he think it was all attempt to crush
freedom ?"
My answer" said Palmer, sis that
the instance stated bv no means justities
the law. The fact that there was crime in
New ork furnishes no reason for SUBJ
Jecting any other Congressional district
In the United States TO an Act placing
over them Supervisors and masters.
Nothing of that kind justifies placing the
whole country under supervision"
u am disappointed with the SENATOR
said Frye. II 90 not think be is any bet
ter than other Democrats. l am afraid,
as sometimes happens to new recruits,
that he is even worse. Laughter. y
citizen of a State is a citizen of the United
States, and this republic owes that cilizen
some duty"
Senator Frye then quoted the Constitu-
ton of Mississippi and denounced it's
provisions requiring the voter to be able
to read the Constitution or give reason
able Interpretation Of a section Of it when
read to him.
docs not the Senator know that Mas
sachusetts has even a more stringent
provision?" inquired Gray.
''No, it does not.''
Yes, it does, and 1 will show it to
you"
why, there is not Senator on this
floor" said Frye, "who could perhaps
interpret the Constitution of the United
States to the satisfaction of an examining
committee, as is required by the Consti-
tuition of Mississippi"
THAT Constitution, then" suggested
Palmer, VERY much resembles the Con-
stitution of Hawaii established by the
Provisional Government" Laughter.
Bates of Tennessee interrupted to read
the following provision from the Consti-
tatlon Of Massachusetts Every male
citizen Of q years or upwards, not being
pauper or person under guardianship,
who is able to read the Constitution of
the commonwealth in the English
language and write his name, shall be en-
titled to vote"
'If there had been added to that"
retorted Frye, ''the words, III he
could interpret it to the satisfaction of a
committee it would make a material diff
ference"
docs not the Senator from Maine see,"
inquired Gray, 'now that the provision
OF the Constitution of Mississippi is no
more severe than the Constitution of
Massachusetts, where a voter must be
able to read the Constitution and write
his name? In Mississippi, if he cannot
read it, it is sufficient, il he can under
stand its provisions"
After some further colloquy over this
subject between Frye, Gray and Hoar,
the Senate at 4:10 adjourned.

JUDGE JENKINS RULING.
Resolution Introduced in the House K
Investigate His Action.

Resolution Introduced in the House to
Investigate His Action.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-McCann Dem
of Illinois tried to-day to secure unani-
nous consent in the House for the con-
sideration of resolution to investigate
the action of Judge Jenkins in the Union
Pacific Railroad case, the employees of
which road had been enjoined from strik-
ing, but objection was made.
When unanimous consent was refused
for consideration of the resolution, it was
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
McCann says he will endeavor to have
that committee report back the resolution
at once. He would have secured imme-
diate consideration of the resolution to-
day had it not been for the objection of
Outhwaite. The latter explained to
Mccain that the attendance in the
House was too small for consideration
of such an important subject. There
is little doubt of a favorable report
on it, with a provision that a sub-com-
mittee of the judiciary Committee be
authorized to prosecute the investigation
and send for persons and papers.
The resolution is a follows:
"Res0LUed, That the Committee of the
Judiciary Of the House be and is hereby
directed to make such investigation into
all the matters and things herein alleged
and report to this House whether or not
Hon. Judge Jenkins, Judge of the United
States Circuit Court for the Seventh Cir
cult, has therein abused the powers or
the process of said court, or oppressively
exercised the same, or has used his office
as such Judge to intimidate or restrain the
employees of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road or officers of labor organizations TO
which said employees, or any Of them,
were affiliated, in the exercise of their
rights and privileges under the laws of the
United States; and if they shall nd that
said Judge has abused the process of said
court. as alleged, or oppressively exer-
cised the powers Of his office as Judge of
said court to the injury of the employees
of said railroad and others, then to re-
port whether said such act or doings Of
said Judge warrant the presentment of
articles OF impeachment therefor; and to
further report what action, if any, should
be taken by Congress to prevent the re-
currence OF the conditions now laid by
said order and injunction upon the rail-
way employees of said Northern Pacific
road, those engaged upon other roads,
and officers and members of labor organ
izations throughout the country, and all
persons generally"
