A torrihlfl at tuck upon the Hawaiian
reciprocity treaty was mudo in the senate
on the Uth by menus of two propositions
introduced by Hill, of Georgia, and ono
by Jones, of Louisiana. The Louisiana
senator's movement is in form of a joint
resolution identical with that heretofore
introduced in the house of representa
tives by Gibson, of Louisiana, which
simply requests the President of the U.
b. to give the notice to terminate tho
treaty in the manner and at the time set
forth and provided for in its fifth article
stipulated that tho convention shall re
main iu force for soveu years from the
dato at which time it may come into
operation, and further, until the expira
tion of twelve mouths after the time, if
one of the high contracting iarties shall
give no notice to the other of the wish to
terminate tho same, either beimj at libei ty
to give such notice to the other at tho end
of said term, of seven years, or such
time thereafter. The treaty was signed
in 75, ratifications being exchanged a
few months subsequently; but the re
quisite time for congress to put it into
effect was net passed and approved until
the 15th of Aug., 1870. The same ques
tion has been raised as to tho date from
which the seven years, or rather tho
eight years, of the treaty's asunred dura
tion shall be reckoned;' but it is practi
cally conceded on all bauds that undc?
tho teruie of tho treaty no notico of in
tention to terminate thetrxatv can be
given before August 15,18811, and that
according to the stipulation above o noted
it cannot, by diplomatic methods, be
terminated until August, 1SSI. Senator
Hill holds to this opinion, but he also
thiuks that the circumstances under
which tho treaty was procured, and the
practical tiftVctt, of it separations, have
been such as to warrant summary action
on ine part of congress to iret rid of it.
and he therefore provides by tho bill
which he introduced to day that the act
of Ang., 1870, carrying it into effect
shall be forthwith rcjxiaiod. In order,
however, to eocnre examination of the
subject in all ita phases, he also to-day

The Now York Post prints the follow
ing Washington special: One finds a
surprising bitterness of foeliug about
committee assignments among mornber
of both parties, and tho dissatisfaction is
shared by those whose influence is shap
ing party action and legislation. It is
vorv probablo tho spirit of rusontment
amfof revolt may die away with timo,
but it is nioro likely to grow. Said a
republican representative last uight:
"The speaker's appointments have de
moralized the party, aud I fear wa ahull
have serious trouble. The importaut
committees, as now constituted, do not
havo tho oonudenco of tho house, aud
everything will have to bo fought out
over again on tho floor. Thoro we are at
a diaudvantugo, for tho democrats are
exceptiouully strong in this congress iu
debates. Our leaders, liko iuusun uud
Hobeson will 11 ml themselves opposed by
such parliamentarians us , lUndall,
Hewitt, Cox, Carlisle and others of
scarcely inferior merit. Neither Kolly
or his clique who, by committee positions
are ox-olllcio loaders of the party, have a
record or personal qualities to command
on the floor, while heifer himself has no
following." In the light of these facta
tho representative felt that little could
lie done by congress this winter. He
thought tho apportionment bill would
be drawn on a b.iHis of ;):!'. nu'inliers.

E wir e Light In tho Stomach,
Tho Vienna Noue Froio Tresse gives
an account of au instrument invented by
Dr. J. Mikulicz, instructor of the uni
versity, which enables a physician to
every part of a patient's stomach to au
ocular inspection. It consists of a tube
which is t lairs t down the throat after the
manner of the sword-swallowing jugglers.
Tho tube contains an isolated couductor
of electricity, two water canals, an air
canal and a wide opening for the optical
apparatus. The stomach is emptied by
means of a stomach pump previous to the
introduction of the apparatus, and is tloi
inflated through ti e air-tube. At the
bottom of the tube are two windows, one
on each aide, through which the walls of
the stomach can be seen, the requisite
light being furnished by sn ircandescent
platina roil, which is connected with the
conductor. In order that the examina
tion may not be disturbed bv conghing
or vomiting on the part of tho patient,
be is treated to a dose o' morphine, which
enables him to endure the presence of
the instrument for ten or fifteen minutes,
while retaining suftio eut consciousness
to converse with the physician by means
of aigns. It is apiwrent that this instru
ment will prove of inestimable value to
medical science.

(it tries Bummi's Kuily Love.
Tho love, by pre-eminence of Charles
Sumner's life was in his comparatively
early days, for a woman who bus been a
happy wifo and mother, and who is still
living. Keliuquishod on account of her
preference for the gentleman whom slio
afterwards married, it assumed in his
mind tho only blameless form of a baf
fled attachment, that of sentiment, which
differs from lovo only in the absence of
tho appropriating element which is the
distinguishing mark of the graud pas
sion, lie became tho best friend of both
Curties, and after a lapse of time rcinem
ercd the experience without regret or
puin, though I have sometimes thought
it mado him doubtful of his own powers
of pleasiug. Three years boforo his
death, after his marriage and separation
from another womuu, I spoke to him iu
commondation of certain literary produc
tions of bin early love that had attracted
but little attention from tho general
public.
'Charming, charming, was his reply,
with a softening of his face, a tender ca
donce in his voice, aud a dreamy look iu
hia hazel eyes, that I uever saw whon
any other subject or auy othor person
was under disoussion. 1 observed dur
ing tho evening that followed this quiet
conversation that ho only arousal from
tho pleasantly meditativo mood into
which tny reiuurk Beemed to have thrown
hiui, to assout '.o everything I euid. It
waH an ns'reeablo experience, but it was
not intoxicating, for I was calmly aware
that tho remote but suro cuine of nil this
bland approval was another woman. I
thought of the quaint exclammation
w hich Mrs, Oliphaut put into the mouth
of sweet, constant Margaret Maitland,
after meeting the lovor of her youth :

solid Petroleum.
According to St. Pcteraburgb
paper, a German, Herr P. N. Di
mnr, has practically tolvcd tho prob

chemists of luto in view of the largo
question of transport. A company
bas been formed in Rossiu to work

transformation of tho substanco will ,
not cost rroro tbun about iu cents
per thirty-six pounds. Tho mode of
treatment is not yet disclosod, and
chemists to whom samples of tbo
solid rctroloum bavo been sent havo
not been able to muko out tho na
ture of tho uNtign substances that
are added to tho proportion of 2, or
at most 3 per cent, to solidify the

Petersburgh paper saw tho product;
bo says it is of a wine-yollow color,
and has tho consisieoco or ver auu

Ttach Them Iutc'rlly.
Business men say that it is hard to
find boys who can be trusted with the
handling of money. They cannot with
stand the temptations; and, now-a-days,
owing to the various causes, temptations
are stronger than formerly. Nine-tenths
of the office and errand boys of to-day
are holding positions of trust made so
by necessities of business anil they are
the children, for the most part, of men
whose stations in life have shown them
tho principles of business integrity. The
boys themselves, unused to the luxury
of spending monev, charmed by its fas
cinations, induced by older companions
sometimes, are led to petty thieving.
The desire to spend is natural enough
but few boys are philosophical enough
cither by nature or training, to with
stand the temptation oi availing tlicm-
selvVa of the onnortunities to steal small
sums. Their home training has not
!nade them strong and honest. Ihe ex
istenco of this evil is suggestive to par
ents who expect thoir children to enter
the lowest place of mercantile life; it is
suggestive to parents who are lavish of
thoir money with thoir boys, and it is
also suggestive to the business men wno
are, and who are to be, dependent on
help of this kind. It is not enough that
a boy "takes" to a business life; as in
anv othor science he should bo instructed
aud his instructor Bhould be his cm
plover, and Bhould be qualified to in
struct. Tho elements of business, and
not the least among them is intognty,
Bhould to taught htm, and t might him
thoroughly, at home.

Any ono who has children and
who, about forty times u term, hears
complaints alio no them, thoir break

know that the, supply is about mcx

diiHgcr that tht world will over want

Custlcton, i., about thirty. five
workmen produce 5(1,000 pencils
daily, and H is proposed to increase
tho "daily output to 100,000. The
blocks, when quarried, aro sawed
into pieces seven by twelvo inches,
split to a thickness of a half inch and
smoothed by it planer. Tho block ia
passed under u somut-irculur knife
und after having been turned over,
tho process is repeated. Tho result
is fifty seven inch pencils. A particle
of quartz in tho block would broak
all tho pencils. They aro pointed
by u grindstone, turned, assorted and

Slaking India Rubher Varnlsli.
l)i. Eder gives tho following
recipe: Incloso thirty grammes of
finely cut caoutchouc in u capacious
linen bag, and suspond tht - within a
flask containing a litre of benzine, by
means of a thread hold fast by tho
stopper, so that tho bag remains
near tho surface of tho liquid. In tho
couise of bix or eight days the soluble
portion of the caoutchouc, about 40
to liO per cent, will pass into Iho
benzine, while the contents of tho
bag will expand enormously. Tho
clear solution, which is quite viscous
and contains 1.2 to 1.5 per cent, of
caoutchouc, is then carefully sepa
rated. Tho swelled contents of the
bag contains one-fourth to ono third
of the benzine used, and may be
used ior tho preparation of .an in.
ferior kind of varnish. A solution
of india rubber in benzine, kept in
halt-full bottles, is decomposed on
exposure to light, which may bo seen
ty the change in the solution from a
viscous to a thin fluid condition.
Kven in tho dark this change goes
on, but it requires about three times
as much time.
It is asserted that the contents of the

Chas. Sumner on Woman's Dress.
With all Mr. Sumner's profound studies
ho was as good an authority on all mat
ters relating to a woman s toilet as V ortli
himself. I recall the approval which ho
expressed of Michelet s theory that a
woman should not yield to tho dictates
of fashion to the extent of making vio
lent changes in her dress or the arrange
ment of her hair: but a certain uniform'
ity, with minor variations, that just
suggested a costume, so that people
would say, "that looks liko her," was
more eucctivo and more attractive than
thoso sudden changes, which almost de
stroy a woman's identity and diminished
the power of association. Mr. Sumner
thought that nothing promoted a wo
man's appearanco so much as, after suit
able study of the subject, adhering to
one stylo of arranging tho hair. "Imag
ine," said he, "a Greek goddess chang
ing the arrangement of her hair every
few months!" f Affa Howard, in Prov
idouce Press.
XJcitEooiiNizED Talent. When a great
man dies, be he writer or painter, states
man or scientifio writer, we are apt
rather to over than underrate his achieve
ments, seeking, perhaps, to atone for
long continued neglect by a too tardy
justice. But the man who dies after a
long life of work in which he has just
failed to be great, whose success hps al
ways been of that kind which gains ready
appreciation, within the little circlo of
friends to whom it is known, but which
never touches the world at large whose
genius, in fact, has shown itself in pleas
ing greatly a few rather than touching
the hearts or affecting the lives of the
many this man is apt, I think, to obtain
but scanty justice, directly his powers of
pleasing have censed. And this is, of
conrso, more certainly the case if ho be
one whose talents have been somewhat
archaic, and if he bas never cared to
adapt them to the public measure of the
useful, tho beautiful or the true. Lon

Lost Wouus. It is correctly stated
in a recent article on Henry Clay that he
never was tit a loss for a word, or "bog
gled" while speaking, but that his drafts
on th" Kink's English were never dis
honored. With Mr. Webster it was dif
ferent, and he often would hesitate, and
then rub his nose with the bent knuckle
of his right thunr b. Mr. Calhoun, when
at a loss for a word, would give a petu
lant twist at his large turned-over shirt
collar, and then run hia bony fingers
through his long gray hair until it stood
up like the hair on an electrio toy. Mr.
Benton would sink his voice and mum
ble something that no one could under
stand, and General Cass would "awl aw?"
in the English style, passing his hand
beneath the lower edge of hia capacious
white wasistcoatl Mr. Webster was al
most invariably "stuck" when he at
tempted to use a Latin quotation, and
when Mr. Everett was in the Senate he
used invariably to appeal to him.
