POLITICAL. THE Republican caucus of the Colo­ rado u îaiwwv on Jan. M nominated tbe Hon. T. M. Bowen for United States Senator for the long term, but made no selection for the short period. Then was no change in the rttuatlon at the -capitals of Michigan, Minnesota and Nebraska, the various aspir­ ant* maintaining about the same relative strength they had shown in the preceding MUlote. Judge Thomas Bowen, the new Colorado Senator, is a native Of Iowa. He is about 40 years of age. When a youth he went to Kansas and when not over 21 became the commander of a Kansas regiment in the late war. The close o: the war found him in Arkansas. He became the Supreme Jus­ tice of that State. He was afterward appoint­ ed Governor of Idaho, but soon resigned. He th- n went to New York, and in 1878 located iu Colorado and engaged in mining. THE Legislature of Colorado elected Thomas M. Bowen Senator for thte full term and Q. A. W. Tabor to fill the Teller vacancy, ending March 4,1883. THK fate of the proposed constitu­ tional amendments in favor of prohibition and woman suffrage, which have been quite a disturbing element in Indiana politics for two years past, was settled in the State Senate on the :*.)th ult, which voted that they were not legallv pending before this Legislature, and couid not be considered. The reason for this action is the fact that the resolutions incorporating the amend­ ments which passed last session are not set out in full iu the House and Senate journals, as provided by the constitution.

Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages are the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in the so­ ciety pastures without any yokes on them. They marry and have children before they do mustaches; they are fathers of twins before they are proprie­ tors of two pairs of pants, and the little girls they marry are old women before they are 20 years old. Occasionally one of these gosling marriages turns out all right, but it is a clear case of luck. If there was a law against young galoots sparking and marrying before they have cut all their teeth, we suppose the little cusses would evade it in some way, but there ought to be a sentiment against it. It is time enough for these bantams to think of finding a pullet when they have raised money enough to buy a bundle of laths to build a hen-house. But they see a girl who looks cunning, and they are afraid there are not going to lie girls enough to go around, and then they begin to get in their work real spry; and before they are aware of the sanctity of the marriage relation they are hitched tot life, and before they own a cook-stove or a bedstead, they have to get up in the night and go after the doctor, so frightened tliat they run themselves out of breath and abuse the doctor because he doesn't run too, and when the doctor gets there there is not enough linen in the house to wrap up a doll-baby. • On the :i0th eight men were killed by iv-slide in Colorado, and seven by a fire- AtTFStrrti, .fiSt&zSiZ&zzz „ ho hookaf the treasury, while tfNiha erook of protection the burden of ootton ttaawottid oe doubled in the inter. 40k of moKOMljst ̂ PtoSing into a dia* dSaion of We relations existing be- fweeA labor and tariff, be asserted the declaration that protection had any effect on the price of labor was a fallacy. So far from a high tariff being the cauro of high wagcs, it waa high wages that was the cause or protection. Mr. Tucker then proceeded to briefly some of the more important changes of the bill, especially criticising the sugar sched­ ule The reduction or duty on refining sugars was at l«pt 40 per oent, but the duty on all sugars that went Into consumption was positively prohibitory. Such legislation was not only unjust ̂ but viciously unjust, as it laid the whole agricultural interests under contribution to a few manufacturers of the country. At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Tuck­ er received the hearty applause of his party associates. Mr. Kas«on, of Iowa, regretted that the House had determined to have any general deba'e.. He would have preferred to pro­ ceed to the direct consideration of the de­ tails of the bill, because every day's delay was producing harm in the country and de­ moralization of business. He defended the rarilf Commission against the criticisms of the gentleman from Virginia (Tuckej#, which reminded him of the man who wanted no lawyer on the bench, lie- cause it would not be possible for him to lie impartial in decisions of points of law. There were articles in the bill, in his opinion, on which duty was unduly im­ posed Duty was placed on some articles on the basis of protection of more infirm en­ terprises, instead of the basis of the main­ tenance of the average interest throughout the United States. If there be one poor lead mine and other rich ones, he did not think Congress ought to base its schedule on those rates which would protect the poor enter­ prises aud raise enormously the profits erf greater sources of wealth. The gentleiiw from Virginia (Tucker) had styled the cr<; tion of competitive establishments > monopolies, when the very creation < those establishments was the destr-l tion of foreign monopoly. He w?k 1 HeT willing to treat the world with charity. He was willing to send ship cargoes of food to the poor abroad, but when he stood to legis­ late, he would legislate for the United States of America, and not for the interest of for­ eign lands The only practical question for Congress was as to the proper rate of duty to Impose on articles which the United Btatesproduced in connection with foreign countries, in order to offset the disadvant­ ages of the location of our industries, the cost of raw material, and the cost of labor. When that had been done, call it protection, or call it tariff for revenue only, an act of statesmanship and patriotism had been per­ formed. The pending bill made a conceded reduction of revenue to the amount of 120,000,000. He should be glad to have #50,000,000 taken from the revenue If it were not for the old maxim "Nil desperandum" he would despair of the passage of any tariff revision bill, and when the gentleman from Virginia contented himself with a running lire of criticism on the bill instead of urging con­ sideration of the measure, he did not dis-4 charge that duty which he was so well able to perform. He (Kasson) was for protection because he was for the maintenance of two things, the independence of his country from foreign control, and giving bread and shelter and clothing to the poorer men of the United States who depended upon their labor for their daily brea<l He could not ac­ complish these objects if he allowed, by his action, the workshops of Eurmie to send to this country its manufacture, lie could not do so if we adopted a pure revenue stand­ ard, because wnen our manufactures were forced either to perish or reduce the price of labor the broad was taken from the mouths of working men. A million homes in the United States were as anxious for such solu­ tion of the pending legislation as if their oc­ cupants lived in nalaces instead of hovels Congress could not afford to say it would pass no bill unless every item was agreeable to every member. There never would be a revision of the tariff without some mutual concessions. • Spirited Debate In the HOOM of Repre­ sentative*. [Associated Press Report] Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, took the floor. He said there was scarcely an article known to the consumption of the American people which was not included within the taxation schedule of the bill, either by name or with­ in the extraordinary classification. The whole purpose of the tariff system seemed to have been perverted from Its original ob­ ject until experts have been employed for the purpose, not of finding how the revenue could be raised, but how revenue could be prevented in the interest of monopolists Referring to the Tariff Commission, Mr. Tucker said a number of its members were gentlemen interested in perpetuat­ ing this system, by which the consumer waB taxed for the benefit of the monopolist The commission was a tribunal, the very advocates at whose bar were Judges who sat on the bench. Their bill had gone to the Committee on Ways and Means, and two of the members had appeared before the committee, and one of them very signally went back on the report of the commission, and the committee, subscribing to his views, increased the duty on woolen goods All the committee had done was to increase duties, with very few exceptions, over the commission bill. Yes, exoept on sugar and tin plates Mr. Haskell--And wire rods and bar Iron and sundries Mr. Tucker--Particularly sundries: Mr. Haskell--Very large reductions were made by the committee from the commis­ sion bill. Mr. Tucker criticised the Committee on Ways and Means for coming into the House with a bill unprepared to satisfy the inquir­ ies of members and the demands of the country to know what would be the effect of the measure. Mr. Kelley asked whether the gentle­ man ever saw a tariff bill the effect of which upon the country could be foretold by any man. Mr. Tucker thought the committee had shown itself inadequate to the task devolved upon it when it was unable to make even a Bhrewd estimate of the effect of its bill. Mr. Kelley inquired whether the gentle­ man on behalf of the minority of the com­ mittee could not give a shrewd estimate. Mr. Tucker replied IK:fore the bill was re­ ported from the committee the minority members asked for delay in order to secure reliable information "from the Treasury Department. That delay had not been ac­ corded them, and he confessed he had not means at bis disposal for making estimates, but he could show the estimate of tbe gen­ tleman from Pennsylvania was utterly de­ lusive. Mr. Kelley asserted tho bill had not been reported to the House until the committee had received all the information which the Treasury Department could give Mr. Tucker called attention to the fact that the committee had not submitted an es­ timate in its report, and intimated it had not done so because it regarded the estimate as unreliable. The minority of the committee did not propose any rad.cal reform in the tariff system. They recognized the fact that under 1 he protective system industries bad grown up and capital had been invested in such forms it would not only be wrong, but bad statesmanship, for any one to at­ tempt to break them down by changing suddenly the protective sys­ tem into a revenue-tariff system. All they had attempted to do, all they would attempt to do, was to diminish the' enorm­ ous profits of the manufacturing industries of tne country, which they derived from the tribute levied on the consuming class The burden of the consumer was double in its character. He bore the burden of the tax levied on Imports, but that was a burden which he bore cheerfully, as it went to sup­ port his Government; < ut he also bore a burden which resulted from a system of pro­ hibitory duties, which, by preventing im­ portation, enhanced the price of the home articles. When the amount of diminution ot tax proposed by the bill was measured, these two burdens must be taken into consideration, and it must be found not only how much the revenue was diminished, but also how mucb tribute to the manufacturer was diminished.

It stretched through the torrid zone of both hemispheres, included the entire south temperate zone and most of the north. It stretched from the Central Atlantic to the modern Austra­ lia, which is a remnant of its former terminus. There were many islands contiguous to ita northern shores. In that cycle there was no land in the modern Dominioa of Canada. Siberia, Northern Europe or British Isles; all were submerged. The spirits of Atlan- tans now abide on the planet Mars, and will pass on from orb to orb with the end of each great cycle until rounding out the experience of the entire solar system they become angels, no longer servants but ui&ters of matter. When Atlantis went down the northern world, now the center of the highest civiliza­ tion, rose tip. Our world is now march­ ing on to that perfect civilization it will have when the cycle ends. This cul-. mination of our civilization in this per­ iod of fruition will be greater than that of Atlantis. Then when the cycle ends the spirits of it pass on to progress through other planets.-- IV. S. Colville. Fractious Horses. * The reason why there are so many fractious and unsafe horses, is BO many fractious and unreliable men to train them. "Break" has heretofore been the4 term used to express the operation of training oolts or horses for service. And it is truly expressive of what is done or attempted to be done. The rough, rude and cruel treatment an untrained colt is subjected to, is enough to break the temper and destroy the morals of the best natured instincts of a colt. To beat knowledge or morals into a boy or a colt has about played out. The first thing an inhuman wretch dofes who undertakes to train a colt, is to put a villainous blind-bridle on him, one of the worst relics which lists conje down to us from ignorance and barbarism. Then he is reined up so tight that his instinct teaches him to go backward in­ stead of forward. The check rein is so rigged as to throw out his nose and give his face a horizontal position like a camel's, so that he can neither see the ground when lie stops, nor sideways on account of tho blinds. Then the man who is called a horse-jockoy teaches the tender and naturally kiud colt informa­ tion with an infamous whip.-- Moinen lieg litter. Embalming In Italy. , It appears that the special and most perfect processes of embalming in Italy are kept a secret. In the more general process water' is first injected through the whole circulatory Bystem until it issues quite clear, this, perhaps, taking as long as five hours, after which alco­ hol is injected for the purpose of ab­ stracting all the water from the body. This is followed up by the injection of ether, to dissolve out the fatty matter, and then a strong solution of tannin is slowly injected, full time being allowed for its soaking into all the tissues, from two to five hours being thus consumed. Lastly, the body is exposed from two to five hours to a current of warm air, Ereviously dried by passing it over eated chloride of calcium.

' Begin Early.' * • S Many fall in their life work, either *1 because they start too late, or because 1 they make some great mistake, from I which they never recover. For these « two reasons Napoleon lost Waterloo. „ ' History tells us that on the night be- * fore the memorable 18th of June, 1815, j there came a deluge of rain, and the ® earth was so soaked and saturated that Napoleon could not move his artillery, and he had to wait until the ground was somewhat settled so that instead of re­ opening the battle at 6 o'clock in the morning, it was almost 1'2 at noon. - That gave Blucher, the Prussian'Gener- al, time to reinforce Wellington, and overthrow the great Frenchman. Had it not been for tbe rain, and had the battle opened at 6 in the morning, it might have been ended by 12 in the rout of the English army, for Napoleon had about a hundred more guns than Wellington. But the difference for Naloleon between * G o'clock and 12 o'clock was the differ­ ence between defeat and victory. Alas I that is the way I have seen men lose the battle of life.

Addresses were made by Mr. Cooper, ex-Secretary Evarts and William E. Dod^e, and resolutions were adopted asking for a reduction of revenue taxation,and the passage of a tariff bill based on the findings ot the Tariff Commission.... The Minnesota LegiRlatnre on the twenty- ninth ballot elected D. M. Sabin United States Senator to succceed Mr. Wlndom. Mr. Sabin is a wealthy manufacturer of Stillwater, was born in Connecticut, and is only 89 years old. FOR the month of January there were received at the Chicago Stock Yards 165,546 cattle, 740,074 hogs, and 75,975 sheep, being an increase over the same month last year of cattle and 8,418 sheep, and a de­ crease of 11,078 hogs. TREASURER WOOD, of .Tackson county, Texas, is a defaulter for a large amount. The safe in his office, which was supposed to con­ tain $£5,000, was found to be empty. The Senate spent several hours upon Its Tariff bill on the 1st inst Mr. Frye's amend­ ment, proposing an ad valorem duty of 40 per cent on all sugars, came up as the pend­ ing question. Mr. Kellogg (La.) said that if adopted it would ruin tne Louisiana sugar producers, who generally voted the Repub­ lican ticket, and he was sorry to see the attack made from the ilepublican side of the chamber. Mr. Frye'a amend­ ment was rejected. Mr. Morrill's amendment was adopted, and the sug-ar schedule was completed The Tobacco bill was taken up. An amendment of the Finance Committee fixing the duty on cigars, etc., at $&5U per pound and 25 per cent ad valorem was adopted. Mr. Hawley offered the fol­ lowing as a substitute for the second para­ graph: "Tobacco in leaf, unmanufactured and not stemmed, when the greater portion of the bale, box or package is suitable for wrappers, 75 cents per pound upon the whole contents of the bale, box or package. If stemmed, $1 per pound. All other tobacco "In leaf, amnairat»cfcnre(i aajer*jl0t stemmed; 35 GCIite jivi poiilm. Twacco stems, 1 cents per pound. Tobacco, manufactured, of all descriptions, not specially enumer­ ated or provided for in this act, 40 cents per pound ^ Messrs Allison, Jones and Call op­ posed the proposal to put a duty of #1 per pound on stemmed tobacco. The question was taken on the first paragraph of Mr. Haw ley's amendment, as above, ending with 11 per pound, and it was not concurred in-- yeas, LF>; nays, 'JO. The remaining provisions of Mr. Hawley's amendment were agreed to. The portion rejected was then modified by Mr. Sherman, and was adopted as follows: "Tobacco in leaf, unmanufactured, when a greater portion of a bale, box or other pack­ age is suitable for wrappers, 75 cents per pound upon the whole contents of said bale, box or other package." Fifty-seven petitions asking the passage of the bill to extend national aid to common schools were presented in the Senate by Messrs. Blair and Mahone.

He acquired it- reputation for shooting apples from a young lady's head on the stage. He announced one night that he would shoot twelve apples from twelve young ladies' heads, using his left hand as well as his right. But by the time 'lie had fired the first six shots all twelve of the apples had disappeared and his last six were delivered to the empty air, amid the roars of the audience. Two apples got tangled together and remained dangling from the edge of a scene in plain sight of tlve audience. Each ap­ ple had a fine thread attached, and at the shot was jerked quickly out of sight. The supes who pulled tlie strings got confused, and half the apples disap­ peared before the time. This ended his career and fame. Schubert's Poverty. Schubert, the great musical com* poser, was like Mozart, unable to sell his compositions for anything like re­ munerative prices. He often depended upon his brother for a roll, some apples or a few pennies. Within a year of his death he hadn't money enough to buy his dinner, and was forced to sell one of his great works for less than $5, and his songs at 20 cents each. Tho estimated val"e of his whole effects at death amounted to less than $10. He ought to have written "Captain Jinks," or "Grandfather's Clock." Then he conld could have had a white stone front in Vienna. Angels. In the olden days there were angels who came and took men by tlie hand and led them away from the city of destruction.
