SENATOR SHERMAN, replying to SenR-
tor Vest, said he Thought the Republi-
cans could defeat the bill by actual re.
sistance through avsiliug themselves Of
the rules Of the Senate, and he reminded
his Democratic associates how they,
when a minority and weaker in numbers
than the Republicans now are. defeated
In the last Congress. by the use Of the
Senate's rules, the Federal Elections BILL
Continuing, he said that there was not
a Republican Senator who did not regard
the pending bill as injurious to the peo-
pie Of the United States, both North and
South. 1t was not delay that was caus-
ing trouble in the country II was the
fear OF this bin psrRiyzlng industry. "
Commenting on this the Philadelphia
Ledger says:

that there was not one OF them who did
not regard the measure as injurious TO

believe injurious TO the people Of the
whole country II their duty dees not
lie In opposing such proposed legislation
as to them appears to be detrimental to
the well-being OF the people, it Is diff
cult TO perceive in what It does lie.
We are tempted to believe that the
distinguished trimmer Senator from Ohio
not only did not state the views Of the
Republicans but that he did not state his

My attention w;lS first called to tll~
by my brother. who. while engaged III

we both considered Il unique experience
with Il large sea tortoise.
This tortoise had been SURPRISED

and on being ovtrtakcn had its head
chopped off preparatory to serving Is
Il very toothsome addition to our dct.
Much to the surprise of the party the
bcheaded animal continued on its way
towards the water.
Several times it was turned around.
entirely or part way, but every time
it was able to right its position per-
fcctly. and again make directly for the
water.
At The time this was narrated to me
| was of the opinion that there must
have been something in the contour of
the land that enabled the tortoise Ia
regain the correct direction in each
case.
Since then have had numerous proof
that this ability belongs to number
of species of these animals in the West
Indies and that the loss of eyes and
nasal organs of the entire head and
neck in fact. apparently works no
Inconvenience to them in this partcrl-
lar. This is Il family characteristic
which. so far as | have been able To
find. is not alluded to in any work con
corning them.
The same singular ability may he
observed in certain species of water
tr"uurnting snakes. The common
water snake. often enormously called
the water moccaSin,' almost nvari-
ably finds its way to the water. if not
too far away, when its head is cut off.
