Profit I'm Her Plague.

Rabbits may yet save the country. The
secretary for agriculture has received a let
ter from Mr.. Berry, of the agent generals
office, stating that it is expected during
the coming season that the price of rabbits
will be from 10d TO lid. each. The charges
for dock dues, carriage, and commission at
London are about Id. per rabbit, and to
Hull or any other manufacturing provincial
cities, about one penny extra. He adds:
There is not the slightest doubt that a very
large trade indeed is open to Victorian
rabbits in the great manufacturing dis
tricts, such as Leeds, Manchester and Shelf
field, where all the members of family
work at the mills, and therefore have not
much time to spare for cooking. Rabbits
can be easily cooked, and are accordingly
much favored by mill workers, and il is no
unusual thing for them when rabbits are
cheap for them to be the sole localmeat food
eaten by the family during the week" He
strongly urges Victorian shippers to take
a small profit in order to assist in pushing

Politicians in this city now regard tiie
fact as already apparent that one OF the
most Interesting features TO be developed
during the next session of Congress VIII
be Il bitter contest between the President
and the Senate over the confirmation OF
appointments made by Mr.. Cleveland since
the 18th of March last.
Several of his appointees failed TO
receive confirmation at the hands OF the
Senate although there was ample lime for
that body TO act upon them. In one in
stance he renppontcd 10 office man who
had been elected by a large ma jority Of

land had Tinsleys commission made out,

Cleveland was u direct usurpation OF power.
There are able constitutional lawyers VINO

the constitutional provision which requires
the advice ard consent of the Senate III
appointments TO such offices, is absolutely
