' AT a recent reunion of the California pioneers, one told of the times when he lugged a gold-washing machine on his back ovef the mountains, only to find on beginning work that he had been fooled into buying a machine for washing clothes. He went into the laundry busi­ ness. however, and in six months made $10,000 washing shirts * at $5 apiece.

The com­ mittee paid him $100 apiece for* the halters. Number three said he was sleeping on the top floor of the Occi­ dental Hotel, in San Francisco, the first night of his arrival, when an enormous grzziy bear entered, and before he could reach his pistol threw him over, smashed his spectacles, tore out his false teeth and upset his cologne bottle. Then the bear threw his valise containing his pis- tolB out of the window.

SEVERAL interesting archaeological " finds " in Europe are reported. Near Caltanisetta, Sicily, several caverns have been found, whicu are evideutly burial places dating from the period when the ancient Sicilians had already been ousted by the Italian tribes, but before the Greek colonization had begun. At Nordrup, Denmark, the remains of seven human bodies have been found under a few feet of pumace stone, numerous bronze objects, gold rings, Roman glasses, mosaics, glass beads, etc.. being also discovered among the remains. ASTRONOMICAL knowledge of the re­ markable ring of small planets traveling between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter commenced with the first day of the present century, when Piazzi discovered the first of these objects, which he named Ceres. Other discoveries fol- lowed at irregular intervals until, in 1845, the number of these small planets --pr aster* ids, as they are usually called--was increased to five. Since that year the list has extended very rapidly, •nd 220 have now been discovered. Nc estimate ean be found of 'the total num­ ber of the asteroids. They are very small, and Severrier has computed that their combined mass is probably less than one-fourth of the earth's mass. From the size of Yesta, which is esti­ mated to be 319 miles in diameter, they dwindle to an unknown minuteness.

The idea then seemed novel, and people derided it as visionary and im­ practical. Since then many cruel wars have desolated the earth, and the tread of hostile armies hate shaken many America have of cannon.

The bear recoiled, roared terribly and fell back. The fight was kept up until morning, by which time the salts were all gone. The man rang for the waiter and ordered another bottle of salts. He was told that there was only a pound in the whole city. "Buy it at any price !" said lie. Word came that it would cost $1,0Q0. Just at this moment the band began playing and the remainder of the third speaker's story was lost. The fourth speaker said he went on shore fifteen minutes at San Francisco while the steamer stopped for whisky--it had given oat at the bar--and helped hang two men.

An Indian chief was taken prisoner by his enemies, the Clierolcees, and doomed to torture,- but became so seriously ill that it be­ came necessary to wait for his restora­ tion to health before committing him to the fire. And as he lay prostrated by the disease in the cabin of the Cherokee warr or, the daughter of the latter, a young, dark-faced maid, was his nuvse. She fell in love with the young chieftain, and, wishing to save his life, urged him to escape, but he would net do so unless she would flee with him; ' She consented. Yet before she had goAe far, impelled by soft regret of leaving home, she asked permission of her lover to return home, for the purpose of bearing away some memento of it. So, retracing her footsteps, she broke a twig from the white rose which climbed up the poles of her father's tent, and preserved it during her flight through the wilder­ ness, and planted it by the door of her new home in the land of the Seminoles. And from that day this beautiful flower has always been known between the capes of Florida and throughout the Southern States by the name of the Cherokee rose. that the number of asteroids, with a diameter oi over twenty-five miles, is very small, and that probably ail sucli were discovered before 1859. The num­ ber with a diameter less thau five miles seems also to be very small, at least in the inuer ports of the asteroid zone next Mars ; in the outer region next Jupiter there may be a more considerable num- countries. Europe trembled under the the idea of peace Statesmen, philaiv pliers have welcom* the spirit of war. The parties who in­ augurate war have always depended upon the workingmen to fall in and fill up the ranks, it is qfae of the bright omens of the day to se$ that thib class is no longer in favor ol barbarous war. No ei'.i.sg suffer more at its hands, yet war always confidently counts upon the workingmen to fall into its ranks when it blows the fife and beats the drum. War always comes to desolate the homes of these people. They have accepted it as a kind of unavoidable necessity-- something that had to be done. Labor troubles have been pressing upon the laborers until they have had little time for other considerations. They have been trying to take from oppressive laws the stings which have wounded them. Now the laborers see that one of the great disturbers of their peace and pros­ perity have been the wars which have called them from their peaceful pursuits ber of these very small bodies. Most and disturbed their industrial prosperity. asteroids seem to have diameters between five and fifteen miles. The average number with a diameter of five to ten miles, discovered during the lasjf twenty •years, is about three each year; the yearly number of ten to fifteen miles di­ ameter is about one and three fifths. Herr Hornstein believes, therefore, that nnless much more powerful telescopes are used future discoveries will be chiefly confined to those measuring five to fif­ teen miles in diameter. .

The other day, says an onlooker at the Capitol, when dinner hottr^as close at hand and no end was visible of the dull oratory of his fellow statesmen, the Acting Vice President became very uneasy. He fidgeted about in his chair as if seated on nettles, and endeavored, by expressive looks, to indium houie one to move au adjourn­ ment. These tactics proving of no avail, and seeing a certain Senator rise to be • gin a speech ^vhich was certain to be two hours long and exceptionally dull, he grasped opportunity by the forelock, and exclaimed : "There being no fur tj^er business before the Senate, a mo­ tion to adjourn is in order; the Senator from has thi floor, and moves to adjourn. All those in favor of that mo­ tion will say, 'Aye;' those opposed will say 'No.' Tho ayes have it, and the Senate stands adjourned;" and, before the would-be orator could recover from his bewilderment, the portly Senator from Illinois was half-way to the cloak­ room.

Now they see that war is a wrong, bar barons and cruel thing, and they pro­ pose to throw all their influence against wars. At the great Trades' Union Con­ gress, recently held in London, the President, speaking for the Congress, after alluding to the obstacles which press upon industry, said : "First oi all there are the artificial laws which hamper industry, aud of these none are in ore important than those relating to the land. After what has been passed this session in regard to Ireland, we can not be silent upon the subject in reference to England and Scotland. Next, the most important of all, is the question whether we are going again to tolerate this country waging war against other people for the sake of increasing or per­ petuating an empire? What interest have we, workma^^h întMesI have the people on war for the sake of empire? If our po­ sition as workmen is one of independ­ ence, we ought to recommend the inde­ pendence of other workmen and of other nations. It is not merely that these wars do untold misery to the poor and to the working classes by the actual mis­ ery they cause, by increasing the insta­ bility of industry and employment, which is unstable enough without any addi­ tion, but these wars are profoundly de­ moralizing to the country engaged in them, aud are crimes of the worst kind." These sentiments were warmly cheered by the congress of workingmen.

As explained iu these dispatches some time ago, the plan of Randall and the Democratic leaders was originally to make this a do- nothing session. The Republicans have had the majority, and have been crippled by absenteeism. They have managed, however, to secure the co-operation of enough Greenbackers with the two Re- adjusters to defeat the procrastinat­ ing tactios of the other side. In this way the reapportionment, the polygamy question, the Chinese emigration problem, the tariff and the Geneva award, have been dis­ posed of in succession. It has for some tim0 been tried, too, to make this Con­ gress amenable to the charge of impa­ tience. Now the fight has come to a struggle for an hour or a day or a part of a dajj. Every measure is fought, for a day or two, or a vote is put over till the next day, or an afternoon is spent in filibustering or some pretext, in a des­ perate effort to UB6 up the time inch by inch. Such has been the course on the tariff, the Geneva award and the . Bank bill. The Republican leaders decided upon one of several courses suggested, which is to bring forward and dispose of bills of general importance first, such aS the Agricultural Department, Geneva Award and the Bank-Charter bills. They can rely upon the neces­ sary appropriations to hold Congress for them, and they think that party spirit may with equal safety be relied on to keep Congress here for the election cases. Now, Randall's struggle to kill time is Bimply to save the election cases. He relies upon hot weather aud the ap­ proaching contests for re-election to dis­ perse Congress without unseating the fraudulently-returned Southern Demo­ crats. Here comes the battle. The Re­ publican leaders realize that it is of vital consequence to the organization of the party in the South to repudiate the frauds this session, or no hope of gains in the Forty-eighth Congress need be indulged in. They do not intend to ad­ journ until these contests have been disposed of. They have told Randall that his course will result in but one thing, the protraction of the session, because they control the committees, and they do not intend to let the appropria­ tion bills come in ontil the election cases are disposed of. It has come to a ques tioh of endurance, aud both sides are The Democratic Polley of Hard Times. The opposition of the Democratic party to the measure to enable the na­ tional banks, whose charters are expir­ ing, to renew their existence, is only one of a continual series of hostilities of that party to the business of the country. In the parly lingo this course is called hostility to capital and corporations, in the demagogue pretense that warfare on capital and business corporations is to help the workingmen and the masses. It is on this damagegism of warfare on the i&terosts of the people that the Dem oeratio patlgr lives, aodsjwavs hat lived. The charters of eighty-Feven national banks will terminate during the next eight months, and of 393 during the en­ suing ten months. To refuse an exten­ sion of the charters is to put them into liquidation at a rapid rate, withdrawing their loans and circulation, aud this is to make a great monetary revolution, whose effects can not be fore­ gathered. All persons of ordinary intel­ ligence are aware that the chief effect of money disturbances comes on the laborer. They who lived in the credit panic, brought on by secession in 1860- 61, and in the credit panic of 1873, re­ member that the industries were pros­ trated and workmen thrown out of employ. This is the working of all money disturbances.' The Democratic party which, when greenbacks were issued to carry on the war for the Onion, declared them unconstitutional, has lat- terlj adopted the theory that a plentiful greenback circulation is a special bless­ ing to the workingman ; but its opposi­ tion to this bank measure is making inevitable a violent contraction of the greenback circulation. The expiring banks have to deposit with the Treasurer greenbacks to the amount of their cir­ culation, in order- to receive their de­ posited bonds, and the treasury has to hold these greenbacks against the bank notes, until they come in, which is a slow process. Thus is Democratic hos­ tility to the country's welfare ordaining a violent contraction of the greenback circulation. All this to no end, as to destroying capital or the banks, for th-.»y can reor­ ganize $new without any additional leg­ islation, but they must go through the process of liquidation, which includes the redeeming of. their circulation, which must be provided for by deposit­ ing greenbacks or gold with the Treas­ urer. During the next five months the winding up of seventy-two banks would call for a withdrawal of about $2,250,000 of greenbacks a month from the circu­ lation. Here is a Democratic provision for a violent contraction, and this is to continue at an accelerating pace. And with this there is to be an export of gold to add to the contracting forces. Other elements are at «ork--the short crops of 1881, the reduced exports, the large imports, and the hiffh price of 4* per cents, already inducing banks to de­ posit greenbacks to get back their bonds to sell, which, since the 1st, has with­ drawn 81,500.000 in greenbacks--with which the Democratic hostility to the ltanks is combining to create the con­ ditions for great monetary stringency, if not for a first- ^lass panic. If the banks are to be enabled to go on, tliey should have the assurance now to stop their preparations for winding up. At the best .there will be some monetary dis­ turbance, but the earlier the enaoHug net, the less the disturbance will be. lint the Democratic party was always at war on the interests of the people, under the demagogue profession of a friend to the people, and its resistance to this en­ abling act is preparing the conditions for hard Commer­ cial. id the If there is a prospective scrimmage that the Republicans of the country can approach in that serene and disinterested frame of mind with which the old woman contemplated the fight between In? hus­ band and the bear, it surely must be the impending conflict between Chalmers, of Mississippi, and his Bourbon neighbors. He has been holding a seat in Gbngreas regard to get a seat in the House by novel method of being elected and the anger of Chalmers is some- thing terrible. He says that he has talking for the Democracy for full thirty years--he might add that he has been fighting for it some part of the time--but that in spite of all this the " Lamar Democrats " who con­ trol the party iu the State have deputed from the true faith and have attempted to throw him overboard. He will run for Congress, however, against the Bour­ bon champion, whomsoever he may be, and will also stand on his record favor­ ing the standard silver dollar and op­ posing the national banks, favoring a tariff for revenue, but willing to permit the present tariff to stand for a few years to see if it will develop manufactures in the South and raise revenue enough to pay off the national debt and destroy the banks. The chief plank in his political raft, however, will be the protection of the Mississippi lx>ttom lands from over­ flow. The veteran of Fort Pillow has not lost his senses yet. His appropria­ tion doctrine will be the strongest hold any man can have who wants to get into Congress from Mississippi, Arkansas or Louisiana any time in the course oi the present yeai.--DetroU Pont. 1 " f », • " ILLINOIS INSWAP" • ;V';.

CATALOGUES of the summer short-horn sales in Central Illinois are beginning to make their appeaarnce. Judging from the cattle to be offered, there is cer­ tainly a revival at hand in this trade. The lists present the names of many in­ dividual members of the best-known Durham families, and the attractions for buyers have never been more numerous or of better quality. Illinois is now ac­ corded the leading position a sales State, and ber breeders are men of intel­ ligence and practical knowledge, who are disposed to extend their reputation. THE "Jumbo" of tho Senate, onr David Davis, lately had his third break­ down since he became a member of that body. "The trouble with the Illinois Senator," says a Washington correspond­ ent, "is that he forgets an ordinary chair cannot sustain the 400-pound mass of flesh which belongs to him. He ought to-iollow the example of the late Senator Dixon \H. Lewis, and only use chairs specjully Constructed to stand the strain. Judge Davis, who had pat an­ other Senator in the big, strongly- braccd chair which he occupies as pre- oflicer of the Senate, had been around the chamber to stretch his legs, and passing by the chair which belongs to Senator Brown, of Georgia, and is abundantly able to hold his weight of 125 pounds, he took a notion tb rest himself. He sank into the chair, and the chair sank to the floor in broken pieces, which we!re strewed all over the Judge as he lay sprawling. As he scrambled to his feet with a sense of in­ jured dignity fresh upon him, he saw that Senator Butler, of South Carolina, who occupied the next seat, was smiling broadly, and his ear caught the whisper of some one on the other side styling him the ' Jumbo' of the Senate. He was f-o indignant tbat he stalked around the Senate Chamber several times, and then, becoming a little more compot-ed, he selected another chair after a critic*! inspection and deposited himself in it. Senator Butler went over to Lim for mollifying purpo-.es, but the Judge waved him off and declined to listen to him. On the last occasion that he bursted through a chair, Mr. Conkling, who was then in the Senate, chuckled audibly, and he would not take any no­ tice of him for a week after." shaver of five or six years at school one day, he came upon the passage, "Keep thy tongue from evil and thy lips from guile."
