Special 1o Enquirer-Sun,j
Washington, July 28.—At 11:30 the
senate resumed the consideration of the
naval appropriation bill.
The printing committee reported the
senate resolution for printing 5000 copies
of the official report of the Internation
al Cotton Exposition of 1881. Passed.
The senate bill to provide for the pub
lication of the tenth census was passed.
It provides for the printing of addi
tional copies ot the reports on popula
tion, agriculture, manufacture
and mechanics, fish and fish
eries, history of the national
loan p.nd compendium of census and
appropriates for this purpose $678,000.
It also provides for the distribution of
complete seta of these reports to libra
ries and other public institutions
throughout the country, their allot
ment to congressmen to be distributed
by the secretary of interior (each sena
tor to be entitled to order filteeu, and
each representative ten sets.
The senate then look up naval appro
priation.
The naval bill was read for action
upon the committee's amendments
upon the amendment, which was de
cided to be in the nature of general
legislation. A point of order was raised.
Rollins submitted that if the amend
ment was not in order on the ground
stated, nearly all the committee's
amendments must be ruled out
upon the same ground, lie there
fore, raised a point of order
ub against the pending amendments
reported by the committee.
The chair (Davis) sustained the point
and ruled in effect that all amendments
made by the senate committee chang
ing house general legislatiou were out
of order under tbeseuate rule prohibit
ing sucn legislation upon appropria
tion bills.
” A long discussion followed in which
the rule was denounced by Hawley
and others as unconstitutional, as it pre
cluded the senate from amending or
changing the bill in the features refer
red to.
.With a view to testing the correct
ness ot the ruling of the chair and to
reach a definite const ruction of the sen
ate rules, touching the point at issue,
Call appealed from the decision of the
senate on a division, declined to table
the appeaL The discussion was
then continued by the parliament
arians of the body. Ou a vote being
ordered, some contusion was apparent
♦ as to the form in which the question of
order was to be decided. It was agreed
to test the sense of the senate on the
lUlingon the committee amendment,
dividing one hundred and forty sur
geons on the active list into tbree
classes.
The chair decided this to be out of
order as involving general legislation
and this decision was sustained by the
senate—yeas 26, nays 21. An equal
number ol democrats anu republicans
responded aye.
The committee amendment was con
sequently disagreed to, and the bill
was proceeded with in a committee of
the whole.
▲mendmonta making changes in
respect to the retirement of naval
officers, and promotions on retired
list, and to allowing any vacancy
among rear admirals to be filled by the
president’s Domination of a captain as
well as a commodore were accord

The amendment, making prohibition
against promotions td the grade ol com
modore, immediately operative instead
of on July 1,1883, as proposed by the
house, was objected to by Mr. Wil
liams and voted down by less than a
quorum—13 to 18.
Various charges by the committee in
items of appropriation were agreed to
without debate. Several amendments
were passed over informally. Notice
was given of others to be hereafter
offered and the remainder of the com
mittee amendments being adopted
without disouhsiou, the bill went over
until to-morrow.
Hailey and Allison offered resolu
tions amending the rules 30 that the
amendmeuts to general legislation,

Imitating the Magnet.
Philadelphia Ledger.
While modern inventors have been
actively competing with each other
in devising new and useful applioa-
lions of the magnetic force, being
stimulated thereto by the prospect of
large pecuniary rewards, the modest
physicist of the university of Chris
tiania, Norway—Prof. Bjerkuess—
has been quietly delving into its mys
teries and endeavoring to reveal its
hidden character. The results of
his investigations are very sugges
tive and his curious experiments
have elicited much favorable com
ment, besides giving a great deal of
delight to those fortunate enough to
witness them.
Prof. Bjerkuess has been able to
closely imitate many of the well-
known phenomena of magnets by
simple mechanical means. His ap
paratus consists essentially of an air-
pump, a few little metal drums pro
vided with elastic membranes some
India-rubber tubing and a small tank
of water. The drums are immersed
in the water and connected wild the
air-pump by means of the tubiug.
Pulsations of air are sent into tbe
drums, causing the membranes to
expand aud contract rapidly, and a
very curious result exhibits itself
Let us imagine one of the little
drums supported in the water iu
such a way that it is free to swing iu
a circle, like a compass-needle, aud
another precisely similar drum held
near to it. If synchronous (simulta
neous) pulsation of air 4 are now sent
into the two drums, so that the out
ward aud inner pulsations of the
membranes of both coincide, the two
drums will immediately attract each
other. If the pulsations are so ad
justed that the outward push of the
membrane of the drum coincides
with the inward pull of the other,
the two drums will repel each other.
By ingenious modification of the ar
rangements various effects are pro
duced, intimately resembling those
of magnetic action, and, indeed,
strongly suggesting a similarity of
cause as well as of effect. Even the
lines of magnetic force, as revealed by
the iron filings, have been counter
feited by this mechanism.
Invention of a notary Ham ner
which Strikes 100 Blown a Minute.
Stockton Herald.]
Dr. W. T. Browne, of Stockton,
Cal., has recently perfected a rotary
hammer that promises to revolution
ize those branches of industry in
which the hammer plays an impor
tant part. It consists of a series of
hammers arranged so that their faces
extend beyond the periphery of a
wheel anti strike a sliding rod, to
which is adjusted a drill, a hammer
or a quartz crusher or whatever
device is needed to accomplish the de
sired work. When these hammers
strike the drill—the machine now on
exhibition is fixed to drill rock—they
slide off out of the way in the most
remarkable manner, without per
ceptibly decreasing the velocity of
tue wheel. They spring into posi
tion again and never miss a stroke.
The machine now iu operation con
tains eight hammers, and one man
turning it can deliver *400 powerful
blows a minute. Two pieces of rock
show the work that the machine does
drilling. In freestone a man drills
an inch a minute, turniug the ma
chine leisurely. A ratchet turns the
drill a small fraction of an inch at
each stroke, and all the driller has to
do is to turn the crank. In granite
rock from half an inch to an inch
can be drilled in a minute. Tbeln-
dividual hammers each weigh eleven
pounds. Turniug the wheel forty
revolutions a minute the machine de
livers 320 blows of 60 pounds each;
and fifty revolutions give 400 blows
of 82 pounds each, aud sixty revolu
tions give 480 blows of 99 pounds
each, aggregating over twenty a min
ute.
A SAD PICTURE.
The Horrible Death Which Senator
Hill lg Dying.
AN ARTIFICIAL LIFE.
8peoial to Enquirer-Sun.]
Washington, July 28.— Au Atlanta
dispatch Bays: “In the modern annals
there has not been a death so full of
horror as that which Benjamin Harvey
Hill is now suffering, nor has the res
ignation and Christian philosophy, ex
hibited been excelled. Slowly dying
of one of the most loathsome diseases,
ho is yet cheerful, patient and resigned.
The patient is put to sleep every night
about 8o’clock with a hyperdemlo in
jection of morphene, aud does not
awake until 11 o’clock the following
morning. Three grains of morphine
are aduilnis ered daily, the patient
never being allowed to come thorough
ly from under the influence. His food
consists of milk, into which yolks
eggs have been beaton, and
little whisky added. About
three-quarters of this mixture is passed
into the patient’s stomach every day
through a tube, no portion of the fluid
touching his palate. The cancer, for
such it is acknowledged to be by all
but those who have not had any c
nectiou with the case, has destroyed all
the tissues of his throat and mouth on
the left side, as well as the lower J
or submaxilliary bone. The opening
is so large that two or three lingers
pass freely up into the mouth fiom be
low, and the palate can be seen
when the patient is lying
down aud one approaches him from the
feet. The outer carotid artery is ex
posed and pulsation is plainly seen.
The softer connective tissue has been
eaten away aud only such tough elastic
substance as compose the walls of the
artery are left intact. Whit is left of
tae tongue is attached to the right side
by a very slender legaiueut and con
stant fear is felt that it will become de
tached and fail into the patient’s throat
when asleep an i thus end his suffering,
while yet sufficient strength ex
ists for a further continuance
of the coute&t with the dread destroyer
His mouth is kept filled with absorb
ent and antiseptic cotton, which is fre
quently changed, as is the dressing
tue outside. No internal remedy
now given, nor has any been admin
istered since the abandonment of the
French cancer cure which consisted iu
the injection into the blood of purified
carbolic acid, the object beiug to
destroy cancerous germs iu the
blood. The final change, it
is thought, will come from sheer ex •
haustion. If morphine treatment was
suspended, he would soon sink from
tbe effects of pain. Now all that can
be done to alleviate suffering and pro-
long a lew days, which, in spite of his
terrible condition, he seems to prizo
more than those upon wiiich ho gaiuod
bis glory.

Chicago, July 28.—Last evening, at
a stone quarry on the northwesu rn
outskirts of the city, a workman took
a can of powder from the magazine and
opened it with a cold chisel. There
were $2,500 pounds of powder in the
magaziue. The workman left the door
opea and stood close to it
while opening the can. A
spark from his chold chisel exploded
the oan, blowing the workman out of
further danger from the explosion of
the 2,500 pounds remaining in the
magazine, which followed immediately.
The magazine was blown into frag
ments so small tbat they can’t be found
and did no harm. The force of the ex
plosion threw down several people and
some bones were broken and a great
deal of glass was demolished, but
lives were lost.
The Political Parlies of Eiypt.
London Daily News ]
According to the Vatan, the organ
of Arabi Pasha, the lollowing are the
different political Egyptian parties :
1. The learned men who have
studied at El Ashar aud the other
schools of Cairo, aud elsewhere. The
number of students at El Ashar is
16,000. They belong to the national
party, with tUe exception of twenty-
five sheiks.
2. The Arab merchants and shop
keepers.
3. The merchants who know how
to write aud read, and study the
newspapers.
4. The sheiks aud delegates of the
villages.
5. The half million Koftan Christ
ians who embrace the party of the
Mussulmans.
6. The army, except the Circassian
officers, who are secretly for Ismail
Pasha, or Halim Pasha.
7. The fellahs who understand poll
tics and hope that Arabi will liberate
them from their debts, aud the
tyranny of the Moudirs.
8. The Arabs of the province of Be-
hera, who have much resemblance
with the bedouins. The true tbe-
douins detest politics and the fellahs,
“Yes,” said the gentleman at the
seaside to his friend, “this flirtation
is getting too serious. Evidently her
mother thinks my bank account all
right. Cau’t we contrive it so they’ll
overhear me ask you for a loan, and
you say you’re very sorry, but you
cau’t spare it?”
The reason the boy stood on the
burning deck was that it was too all-
fired hot to sit down.
The Nlrlkera Determined.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.l
Jersey City, July 28.—At a meeting
of tbe striking freight handlers to-day,
it was announced that Father Deooh-
cilio, of St. Michael’s Catholic church,
had no authority for his statement to
thestrikers that tbe Erie Company was
prepared to take back their old em
ployes, who are now on a strike, pro
vided they would abandon the lab
uuion, aud that the company would
pay twenty cents an hour, the rate do
anded by the strikers. The presiden
of the strikers’ union, in making tbii
announcement, said that tbo priest had
been only telling what IiIh itn-
preaslojs were. A greater de
gree of heat was provoked
by this discovery of the false position
in which the men were placed by their
prompt and iudgnant rejection of pr
posals which had never boon made
than was created when proposals were
laid before them yesterday. It was de
veloped that a couplo of strikeis had
of their own motion sought interces
sion of the priest in favor of a com
promise. The union, as a body, re
pudiated the action of those men ami
renewed their defiance to the company.

Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.]
Washington, July 24 —“There is
only one state iu the United States,
and only oue representative iu con
gress that has no interest in the
river and harbor bill,” said represen
tative Cassidy, of Nevada, to a cor
respondent, “The state,’’ lie con
tinued is Nevada, and I am the repre
sentative. We haven’t got a river,
or a creek, even, in the entire slate
of Nevada. I did not like the idea
of our state getting left in this combi
nation affair, and hunted up
aud down the mountains, but
conld not find a bit of water we
wanted to improve. It is a cold day
when Nevada is left, but we got the
go-by iu this bill. Still there will be
some money left after this bill is
passed, ami I will make a big pull to
get some of it for a public building at
Carson City, which we need very
much. This haul of the treasury,”
continued Mr. Cassidy, “reminds me
of an ocourance in the early day of
California. The legislature had been
in session the allotted time, and was
about to adjourn. Everybody had got
his hill and appropriation through,
but just before the motion to adjourn
was put, a member rose to a ‘question
of privilege.’ ‘What is it?’
asked the speaker. ‘Mr. Speaker,’
answed the member, ‘I a*k ot you as
a question of privilege, now that ail
the bills and drains and hauls have
got through, how much money is
left in the treasury?’ The speaker
made a little calculation, and an
swered: ‘About $100,000.’ ‘Then,’
said the member, ‘1 move to rake
her.’ In the raking in this case I
waut to get money enough to put up
oue public building iu Carson City.”
As to How Far Hie llnrvral la Nin e.
The wheat crop is much of it
already gathered, and there is hardly
a possibility that the last of it wiil
not he secured in fine condition. It
is c ufidently predicted that the crop
will amount to <500,000,000 bushels,
the greatest iu the history of the
country. As it requires but 250,000,-
000 bushels to feed our population aud
sow uext yeur’s crop, half of this
year’s product will be available for
export. I11 1880 England imported
07,500.000 bushels of our wheat, her
annual requirement being 200,000,000
bushels, 83,500,000owhich she raises
herself in an average year. It may
trouble us to liud a satisfactory mai ket
for such a vast surplus of wheat as
250,000,000 bushels. Besides wheat,
the barley aud oat crops are now al
most sale. Their growth has been
luxuriaut, and the heads ot those
grains are full us well as long. A
successiou of heavy storms might
hurt them, but they are too far ad
vauced to suffer much from drought,
which at present is far more proba
ble than heavy storms. ‘The hay
crop is also safe. That is, ils growth
lias been all that could be wished,
and much of it is now safely 111 the
barn. Anil that which is yet to be
cut cauuot be injured by drought, and
is not very likely to be much injured
by raiu.
It appears, therefore, tbat we are
already sure of a large harvest, as to
some of the most important crops.
Corn, potatoes aud cotton are the only
important crops as to which thtre
is much uncertainty. Corn is grow
ing so rapidly that many predict a
yield of 1,700,000,000 bushels, aud if
there is no severe drought atni Uu
early frost it may be greater. Pota
toes, which were so poor a crop Just
year, are iu iiue condition now, aud
have no perils but those of corn. Cot
ton is not equal to the crop ot lust
year at the same date, although last
year’s crop was tar below that ol
1880, hut it is rapidly improving, and
the south is growing more grain
than ever before, so that tbe southern
harvest is likely to be generous iu the
aggregate. The whole matter may
be summoned up by saying that we
are now sure of about one half of a
great harvest, and have abundant
reason to be bopetul as to llie oilier
half.

Charles Dilko, under foreign socie ary,
stated that a telegram had been re

diplomatic agent and consul-general at
Alexandria, which alluded to indirect
communications by Arabi Pasha with a
view to surrendering the military

communication from Arabi Pasbu so

Gladstone said that communications
were still passing with Laly regarding
her co-operation, and added that a com
munication had just bsen received
from Muslims Pag ha, Turkish ambas

Liability of Mercantile Agen
cies.—The Uuited States district
court iu Arkansas has recently passed
upon an important question as to llie
liability of a inerchantile agency for
injuring the credit of a firm by mak
ing false reports as to its financial
condition. The district judge rules
that where the agency, acting in
good faith and upon information
carefully obtained and believed to be
trustworthy, communicates its in
formation to any of its subscribers
who are interested in knowing the
condition of the house iu question
ami apply lor a statement of us finan
cial standing, the rep< rt made hy the
agency is in the nature ot a privi
leged communication, for which the
agency cannot lie held liable in dam
ages if the report proves to l»e false.
But the rule is different where the
agency sends the report proinboiious
ly to all of its subscribers without re
gard to the fact whether they are or
are not interested in knowing the
financial condition of the firm re
ported. J11 such case ti e court hold*
that the report is not in the nature
of a privileged communication, and
that if libellous the agency may he
held to answer iu damages to the in
jured house.
Telephoning for the Wrong
Doctor—A well-known medical
man of this city was called up hy td
ephone the other day, when the fol
lowing conversation took place :
“It has come, doctor.”
Tiie doctor thought he knew the
voice, and, wondering why lie had
not been sent for, shouted back :
“Is it all right?”
“It is a very small pattern,” an
swered the voice, which was that of a
woman, “but it will do if we take
pains.”
The doctor caught the last word,
and called distinctly :
“Give it paregoric !”
There was a mumbled discussion
wiiich he could not hear, and then
the voice called :
“Is this Doctor ?”
“No! It’s Doctor , of Fort
street.”
Then he heard a chorus of mirth,
and was informed that he was in
communication with a fashionable
dress-making house, and that it was
a silk dress for Doctor ’s wife that
was under discussion, and that he
was the wrong man, wiiich, under
the circumstances, was rather a relief
to the Fort street physician.—Detroit

Ex-Governor II. B. Lindsey, of
Alubama, denies the story that lie
will he a candidate for representative
in congress. “Ambition, vanity, par
tisan zeal, and vituperation united,”
lie says in ids emphatic way, “are
not strong enough to drag me from
the tranquil shades of my bumble
home.”
A boy was going along the street
the other morning carrying a basket
of cucumbers and whistling “Nearer
my God to Thee.” A friend of ours
who observed this appropriate choice
of sentiment for the occasion seemed

Alexander—translated, the helper,
spread. Although lie is chit fly
thought of as the great conqueror, yet
was lie a man of prophetic mark,
foretold by Daniel as one “who leaps,
who touched not the ground,” as in
dicative of tiie rapidity of his con
quests. He was chosen by the Al
mighty to overthrow the nations and
pave tiie way for the spread of Chris
tianity. Struck with llie beau’y of
its locution and tiie harbor, which alJ
the navies of the world could enter,
lie built a monument to his own
greatness. He claimed a divine mis
sion to unite und reconcile the world.
He it was who offered the spoils ol
the east to have his name inscribed
on the temple of Ephesus, which was
declined. In carrying out his as
sumed mission he ‘huilt better than
he knew. He gathered together the
elements of the highest civilization
for his city of Alexandria, and placed
at the head of it tiie best man of his
day for the place, Ptolemy Holer. For
fifteen centuries it continued to he
the emporium of the world. Within
its granaries were stored all the wheat
of Egypt, and it was said that the
most effective plan for the reduction of
Constantinople was the blockade of its
port. This was before Home riached
the limit of her greatness, and when
it was controlled by Greeks. Toils
wider thought and richer culture the
after time owes much. To Greece
we are iudepted for philosophy, to
Italy for art, and to each of several
cities for something, hut to Alexan
dria for Greek philosophy clothed in
Christian forms. Aristotle helped to
found Alexandria. His works were
studied there, and led to the estab
lishment ol the famous museum.
Thence philosophy passed into
Europe and became established in
universities. Modern astronomy had
its beginning there, und there Euclid
gave his lectures and perfected his
mathematics that is a text hook in
our schools. Medical science, too,
there had its beginning, and geogra
phy first became a study. Paul never
handled a geography, yet lie did not
believe that tiie gods dwelt in Mount
Olympus, or golden apples grew in
the western Hesperhies. Yet the
people, ignorant of locality or the
world’s extent, peopled localities
with forms slid phantasies, and many
had fearful reputations. It was
Ptolemy, of Alexandria, who, seventy
years after Paul, gave maps and
views to Europe, and placed a limit,
though a confined one, to the world.
The piritof enquiry became univer
sal, and all were philosophers of
some sort, as now. But how should
it be detenuiued that the reasoning
pursued did not lead to error ? Log]

thanks.
Allow me now to say that the nom
ination is cheerfully accepted; and
for the great honor thus conferred
upon me, under existing circum
stances, I take this occasion to express
to you and through you to those
whom you represent, my feelings of
profound gratitude.
THE ADM I NISTRATION.
Be assured, if under Providence I
shall live, and he elected, it shall be
my earnest desire and endeavour so
to perf »rm 1 lie high and responsible
duties confided to me as that no one
of any party or class or condition of
life can justly say, at the expiration
of the term, that he or she suffered
any injury or wrong from any act of
commission or omission or neglect ou
my part.
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.
Those lime-honored principles of
democracy to which the convention
in its platform refers, in which f was
reared, aud to which I shall ever ad
here, are*, indeed, I believe, the basis
upon which all our past glory was
achieved, and to which lor our higher
career in the future we can only
hopefully look. Home of these it
may he proper hero to set forth, as
they W4 re announced by Jefferson,
Ihe great founder of the party, more
than three quartern of a century ago:
THE JEFFERSONIAN CREED.
“Kqtial and exact justice to ail men
of whatever slate or persuasion, reli
gious or political.”
“The support of Ihe slate govern
ments in all their rights ns the most
competent administrations of our do
mestic concerns, and the surest bul
wark against anti republican tenden
cies; the preservation of the general
government in its whole constitu
tional vigor as the sheet auchor of
our peace at home and safety
abroad.”
“A jealous care of the right of elec
tion by ihe people.”
“Absolute acquiescence in the de
cisions of the majority—the vital
principle of republics from which
there is no appeal hut to force, the
vital principle and immediate parei
ol despotism.”
“The supremacy of the civil ov
the military aulhoiily ”
“Economy in the public expense
that labor may be lightly burdened."
“Encouragement ofu niculture and
commerce, its haudmui 1.”
“Freedom of religion, freedoi
the press, freedom of person, under

Abnuf Smelling.
In a lecture on “Smell,” Prof. W.
Ramsay says that there Is a proba
bility that our sense of smell is ex
cited by vibrations of a lower order
than those which give rise to the
sense of heat and light. These vi
brations are conveyed by gaseous
molecules to the surface network of
nerves in the nasal cavity. The dif
ference of smell is caused by the rate
and hy the nature of such vibrations,
just as the difference In tone of
musical sounds depends on the
rate and nature of the vibra
tions. Among the lightest sub
stances which have a smell are sul
phuretted hydrogen and phosphor-
etted oxygen, both of which are sev
enteen times as heavy as hydrogen.
Prussic acid is fifteen times as heavy
and has a smell, hut nil persons are
not able to detect it, and we have here
the lowest limit of molecular weight.
To produce the sensation of smell then
a substance must have a molecular
weight at least fifteen times that of
hydrogen, and the intensity of tho
smell increases as the substance rises
in weight. The intense perfume of
flowers is to bo ascribed to the tol
uenes, of which common turpentine
is one, or to their products of oxida
tion, and these bodies all possess :*
molecular weight of 136, wiiich ap
pears to excite the olfuctory nerve
most powerfully.
Awful Warning.—At one of tho
Thomas concerts at Chicago the other
evening, the electric lights suddenly
went out, leaving the audience iu per
fect darkness for a few minutes. This
was thought glorious by Home of the
young couples present, and over in
the southeast corner of section B,
some one was heard to say iu a sup
pressed undertone: “Je-whillikens!
Susie, what the deuce have you got in
your mouth ?” Just then the light
blazed up again, and a young man
was noticed holding his hand over
his mouth. A stream of blood
was trickling through his Augers,
and the expression on his face
toughed the observer’s heart. His
girl took something out of her mouth
and put it in her pocket, looking
pained and guilty. She led him qui
etly to the door and they passed out.
Young ladies should not wear their
hair-pins in their mouths. It is not
the place for them, and a wound in
the side of the jaw made by coming
suddenly and painfully in contact
with a cruel, two-pointed hair pin at
a time when his heart is set on a
moment of ecstatic bliss might result
in a coolness on the part ol the young
man, which would he heart-break

Curious Case of Somnambu

art lie has lately become quite inter-
