him the other day, and his conversation Is

The Alabama house Of representatives
WAS treated to a sensation yesterday. Rep
resentatiye j. c.. Manning of Clay county
rose to a question of personal privilege in
reply to a resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Dale Of Wilcox, which Manning
interpreted to be an attack on his New
Orleans speech. The resolution criticised
as untrue the statement that Alabama did
not have republican form of government.
Manning said he had in his hand sworn
evidence to prove that frauds were COM
mitted in Wilcox and other counties. He
said those who followed Houston to re-
claim the state from carpet bag rule were
now in a reform movement to reclaim Ala
bama from ballot box stufting domination.
These utterances caused intense excitement.
Mr.. Knight of Hale rose to point Of or
der and stated that the resolution did not
refer to Manning, and that he was out Of
order Manning thereupon sat down.

Criticised Gen. Grant.

In the Illinois senate yesterday a joint
resolution from the house asking Illinois
members in Congress to support the bill
pensioning Gen. McClernand was unani-
n,ously concurred in.
Senator Hamer. speaking in support of
the resolution for Gen. McClernands pen
sion. took occasion to say some very caus-
tic things about Gen. Grant and his treat
ment of his subordinate generals, Thomas
and McClernand, during the late war. Gen.
Grant he said, was cruel and unjust. His
retirement of Gen. McClernand was most
unwarranted and disgrace to the state Of
Illinois.
This speech created a profound sensation
in the senate and in a short time was the
subject Of much gossip in both houses.

ter one forming decided point. The
great aim seemed to be then, as it is now,
to give a roundncss to headdress, and
whether it is that we learn to think that
everything fashionable is becoming it is
certain that the beauties Of the present day
look exceedingly bien coiffe.
When nature does not permit ore to
achieve this style, the hairdresser becomes
a sort of special providence, furnishing all
the necessary adjuncts, and there are few
things for which the majority of fashiona-
bic women have been more thankful this
year than the waved bandeaux. These are
merely pieces of waved hair attached to q
comb, which are fastened at the side under
the fringe If it is artificial, or under the
wearer' $ own hair before it is turned back
ward. They save the waving of the nat
ural hair, too pernicious practice, which
results in frequently spelling it. These
waving bandeauX meet the little curls at
the side and blend effectively with the nat
ural growth, and what trouble they save!
ones own hair SO often loses the undula-
ton, and the additions ripple for months.

A Frozen Soap Bubble.

A frozen soap bubble, broken in two and
floating like an iridescent transparent egg
Shell on the surface of n vessel of liquid
air, was one Of the marvcls exhibited by
Professor Dewar in n recent lecture before
the Royal institute of Great Britain. An
exchange explains that a few spoonfuls Of
liquid air were poured into vessel, and
the intense cold caused by evaporation i'm
mediately brought on miniature snow
storm III the atmosphere directly above the
vessel. soap bubble was then placed
into tho freezing stratum. Almost in
stantly there was IA change in tho color of
the transparent globe, the bubble becom-
ing much darker; the movements of the
rainbow film grew slower; it contracted
somewhat in size, and a little later it froze.
A slight but doxtcrous movement of the
rod upon which the bubble was suspended
broke the latter into tw0N jicces, which fell
upon the liquid air and there floatcd for an
hour, gradually accumulating tiny snow
drift from the almost impcrcoptible pro
'cipitation constantly going on in the freoz
ing atmosphere above.
