CAUCUS RESOLUTIONS.

As a result of the Democratic
caucus at Washington, about which
much has been said and of which a
great deal was expected, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted
without single dissenting voice.
Resolved, /. That it is the sense
of this caucus that the prohibitory
tax of 10 per cent on bank issues be
repealed.
2, That when the bill known as
the Brawley and Spencer bill, which
the committee on banking and cur
rency has ordered reported to the
House, is called up for action, an
amendment be offered repeating the
prohibitOry tax on state banks; that
ample time be afforded for discus
sion, and, if necessary to secure
this, the committee on rules be re-
quested to take proper action.
Exactly 1O2 Democrats of the
House were present.
The attendance from the South
and West was very heavy, but only
few Eastern men appeared, among
them being Messrs. Strauss, Cum
mings Dunphy and Warner of New
York, Pigott of Connecticut, ONeil
of Massachusetts and Sibley of
Pennsylvania.
The discussion of the repeal of
the state bank tax proceeded in a
desultory way for time and took
wide range. Mr.. Culberson of Tex
as, chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee, made a strong speech in fa-
vor of it, After some further talk
the above resolutions were offered,
the first by Mr.. Cox of Tennessee
and the second by Mr. Culberson.
There was but little diversity OF
opinion in the caucus on the ques-
ton of the adyisability Of taking up
for consideration the question of
repeal, but there was some opposi-
ton to unconditional repeal The
only outspoken opponents of any
measure looking to the repeal OF
the state bank tax came from
Messrs. Bryan of Nebraska and
Lane and Williams of Illinois.
Messrs. Gresham of Texas, Swanson
of Virginia, Catchings Of Mississip-
pi, Cooper of Indiana and others ar.
IDENTIFY favored the proposition Mr.
Cummings of New York made a
ringing speech at the end in favor
of the repeal At the conclusion
of his speech the resolutions were
adopted and the caucus adjourned
The result of the caucus means
that the bill to repeal the state
bank tax shall be considered a rider
to the Brawley bill, which is now or
the calendar, and that vote shal
be had on it, 1t was generally ad
mitted in the caucus that this re
peal could not be accomplished un
conditionally
Mr.. Swanson gave as result o.
his canvass twelve votes for uncon
ditional repeal, and Mr.. Williams
declared as a result of his investi
cation that majority of the HOUSE
favored the repeal, although MOI
Internationally. The question o
condition was only briefly touched
upon.

Those VINO never read the adver-
tisements in their newspapers miss
more than they presume. Jonathan
Kenison, of Bolan, Worth county,
Iowa, who had been troubled with
rheumatism in his back, arms and
shoulders, read an item in his paper
how a prominent German citizen Of
Ft. Madison had been cured. He
procured the same medicine, and to
use his own words: ut cured me
right up" He also says: "a
neighbor and his wife were both
sick in bed with rheumatism Their
boy was over to my house and said
they were so bad that he had to do
the cooking. I told him Of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and how it had
cured me. He got bottle and it
cured them up in a week" SOC ent

'''Gatored Mules.o

The Washington News says that a
"'gatored " mule il, according to Flor
ida dialect a mule that has been driven
partially insane by an alligator. There
are hundreds of such demented mules
in Florida, and it is a fact that they are
never the same after a genuine fright Of
this sort.

traveller. had been staying at Ocala,
and finally agreed with several friends to

capture him, and called my companions.
Several times we rammed a long pole
into the burrow. Finally We heard a
nap like the report of a gun, and the
pole remained fast. The gator had
seized it. We tried vainly to pull him
out. Then some n suggested that we
try our camp mule. The mule was led
down to the hole, a chain fastened to
him and the pole, and the frightened
animal was started. There was a creak.
ing of chains, a roar, and an alligator,
fully seven feet in length, came out with
a rush, as the mule started on a wild u
for the road. The saurian's teeth were
sunken so deeply in the pole that he
could not release himself, and away went
mule, pole and all. The alligator spun
round, Kissing like a steam engine; but
he held on. while the mule, thinking
himself pursued, snorted and ran. We
followed. Into the main street OF Ocala
flew the mule and his queer load. Com
pletely exhausted, he was stopped by a
party of men near the post-office. The
gator was dead. We skinned and stuffed
him. The mule recovered, but the sight
of a swamp now throws him into a per-
feet frenzy OF terror.

Sewage Farming.

The influence on health Of the farms
which receive the sewage of Berlin 10
attracting much attention among Ger
man medical men, and Is 8 question that
concerns cities everywhere. It has been
alleged that an outbreak of typhoid
fever in the vicinity Of these estates was
due to the pollution of drinking water
by the sewage. An inquiry into these
cases, however, does not seem to have
justified this charge, and has led Prof.
virchow to declare that the public health
on these farms is very good, and that the
System Of sewage irrigation involves no
danger. An interesting fact concerning
this system 10 thst the sewage passes
into drains only . few feet below the
surface as perfectly clear water. but in
this fishes thrive so surprisingly 40 to
indicate some influence Of organic matter
that filtration through the soil has not

Woderful Feats of Memory.

Among those who have pc formed
graf feats of memory Cassell's Family
Magazine mentions DIR. Fuller, author of
the 'Northies of England" He could
repeat another mans sermon after hear
ing it once, and could repeat 500 words
in an unknown language after hearing
them twice. He one day undertook &c
walk from Temple Bar to the farthest
end of Cheapside and to repeat on his
return every sign on either side of the
way, in the order of their occurrence,
and he did it easily. In such feats as
this the eye plays a chief part; yet blind
people have good memories. Rev. b. j.
Johns, chaplain of the blind asylum,
London. t~estifies that a large number Of
pupils learn the Psalter, and that one
young man was there who could repeat
not only the whole of the $50 prayer
book Psalms and c large number Of
metrical psalms and hymns, as we'll as a
considerable amount of modern poetry,
including Goldsmith's Deserted Vii
lage," but the whole Of Millions Para
disc Lost" with marginal notes and Q
biography. Lord Macaulay on one coca
sion repeated to himself the whole Of
Paradise Lost" while crossing the
Irish Channel. At another time, wait
ing in a Cambridge coffee house for a
postchaise, he picked up a country news
paper containing two p~oetical pieces
one the Reflections of an Exile" and
the other a Parody on a Welsh Ballad"
looked them once through. never gave
them a further thought for forty years,
and then repeated them without the
change of a single word. Macaulay's
mind, some one has said, was like a
dredging net, which took in all that it
encountered, both good aud bad, nor
ever seemed to feel the burden. Very
much unlike a dredging net, and more
like a strainer, are the minds of some
other persons who carefully select what
they will retain or have u natural facility

HUES OF THE EARTH.
rbe Color of Mars Believed TO he Due
To Its Red Vegetation.

The wonderful difference between the
same landscape in winter and in summer
is a phenomenon familiar TO all jewellers
in the temperate zones. The two great
elements Of changes are the presence of
snow in winter and OF leaves and grass
in summer, If we could look at our
globe from the moon, says a writer in
Youths Companion, the variation in its
aspect due TO seasonal changes would
perhaps be even more striking than it
appears to those upon its surface.
In fact, we sometimes lose sight of the
very important part which vegetation
plays in giving color TO what might be
countenance of the planet.
Ii is not the higher forms of plants
that always produce the greatest effect
in this way. Some OF the most striking
scenes upon earth owe their characteristic
features TO MOSES and lichens. The
famous crimson cliffs" of Greenland,
which extend for miles northward from
Cape York, derive their splendid color
from the growth Of red lichen which
covers their faces.
The cliffs rise between LOO and O.
600 feet straight from the waters edge,
anu Dtlup Coiuposeu " gray HIuuito
their aspect would be entirely different
from what it is but for the presence OF
the lichen.
Coming to less magnificent, but not
less beautiful scenery, the rocky pass,
called the Golden Gate, IN the Yellow
stone National Park, owes its rich color
and its name to the yellow lichen cover
ing its lofty walls, aud the indescribable
hues of the great hot spring terraces
arise mainly from the presence of minute
plants flourishing in the water that over
flows them.
Considered as Q whole, the vegetation

be due to the existence of red instead Of
