N ote .— All bills must be settled prompt
A Washington special of Feb. 9th,
says: Senator Sherman created quite a
sensation to-day by leaving the chair and
taking the floor while the silver debate
was in progress, to open the attack upon
the Administration because of its incon
sistency in removing Republicans for po
litical reasons, while the President has
repeatedly said he would not do so and is
not doing so. Edmunds w;is asked to
lead off on this question. He has the ;
matter in charge by common consent, and .
it is well known that he has spent a great ;
deal of time in the investigation of the '
subject and the preparation of a report,
which h:is been anticipated with great in- I
terest as the chief political document of
this session of Congress. It was supposed 1
that he would present this report to the ;
Senate to-day. There was a full attend- ■
ance of Senators and spectators in the i
galleries to hear it, but Edmunds did not !
appear. He sent a note to Ingalls saying
tliat he was suffering from a very sore
throat and asking him to preside at the
Judiciary Committee meeting This com
mittee has not yet adopted Edmunds’ re
port, but it was supposed that he would
call a special meeting to consider it as
soon as he was well enough to attend.
Until then it was unders'ood that the dis
cussion of the President’s refusal to furn
ish the information upon removals would
be postponed.
There is a good deal of rivalry among
party candidates in the Senate
~
on this
matter, and in the list are included Ed
mtinds, Sherman, Harrison, Logan and
others, Sherman, it appears, decided not
to wait for Edmunds to open the debate,
but took to-day, stole the thunder of the
Senator from Vermont, and launched out I
into a speech that created a decided sen
sation and impression. He had evidently
been preparing for it, as he referred to
historical precedents as far back as the
time of Washington as familiarly as if
they had occurred only yesterday. He
brought the case home to the present ad
ministration, and said that when he was
Secretary of the Treasury and Bayard was
Chairman of the Committee on Finance,
the latter made the same inquiries of him
that are now being made by the Senate,
and he (Sherman), as Secretary of the
Treasury answered, believing, as he still
believes, that the Senate has a right to
know all that was going on in the depart
ments of the Government. Sherman's
speech was suggested by the receipt of a
message from the President a few min
utes before, which indorsed the reply of
Secretary Manning to the resolution
passed by the Senate some days ago ask
ing for information in regard to the re
moval of E. M. Brayton, formerly Col
lector of Internal Revenue for the district
of South Carolina.
A later special says: Edmunds’ re
port upon the communication of the At-’
torney-General declining to furnish pa-
ptpers referring to removals is practically !
completed. Edmunds draws almost ex I
clusively upon Democratic authority for
his precedents to sustain the position j
which the Republican Senators have
taken. He will show that on February
9th. 1835, John C. Calhoun reported a
bill requiring the President, at the be
ginning of every session of Congress, to
report to the Senate all removals from
office in the Congressional recess, and to
assign the reasons for wh ch such reniov- |
als were made. This report, with a few [
changes made in names and dates, would
apply directly to the controversy now j
pending. In his report Edmunds will ,
also quote copious extracts from the re- I
port made to the Senate by Thomas H.
Benton and signed by such men as Mar
tin Van Buren and Haync of South Caro
lina, who are supposed to be canonized by
the Democratic party. In this report
Messrs. Benton, Van Buren and others
come out strongly on the relations of the
Senate and President, an 1 Edmunds finds
that the language they use applies very
appropriately to the pending situation.

Some twelve years ago G Snell, wife
and family, lived near the town of Rose
ville, Placer county. One day Snell
I drove off' with a team of white horses
and was never heard from. The bones
of the horses rfere found, but no traces
found of the man. After a reasonable
time Snell's estate was administered on
and sold, and his wife went to live with
a mauled daughter, and all hope of ever
discovering the fate of Snell was given
up. Thus endetll the first chapter.
Some time ago Tubbs and Philippi,
both foiliter teBideiits of Roseville, came
to Shasta c imty and located near
Robeits. Tubbs soon made the acqilain-
tance of G. Snell, an old man who has
lived alone on a 160-acre claim near
Roberts foi the past twelve years or
thereabouts. The old man seemed rather
flighty and did not seem to know much
of his past life. Tubbs, who was slight-
ly acquainted with the Snell who disap-
[»eartxi from IL Seville, soon became as
sured that this was the same man. A
Correspondence was commenced with the
relatives of the missing man, and they
were so sure that the lost had been
found that Mrs. Snell came iqi from
Roseville the first of the present week,
ami on Wednesday was taken into the
presence of old man Snell. A mutual
recognition immediately ensued, and the
long-separated pair were again locked in
each other’s embrace. So endvth the
second chapter.
It seems that Snell's memory is almost
a blank in regard to the past. He now
recollects, however, that he was thrown
from the wagon and struck on his head,
and was badly stunned thereby. He
wandered, some way, to this county,
took up 160 acres, lived <>n it, improved
it and proved up his claim. Still his
memory of the past in regard to Ins
family, and his form-r residence ami
life, was a blank. Snell now s*?ems to
realize something of the past, hut is still
as one groping in the dmk. The old
man is known to our people, and they
will be considerably astonished to read
this tiue account of how he was sup
posed to De dead by his family ami so
strangely was at last found in the land
of the living.
■ [Washington Cor. Chicago News.)
Congressman Payson of Illinois tells a
gooq story about Jim McKenzie, the
very; bright and witty Kentuckian who
formerly represented the Paducah dis
trict in the House.
A bill which McKenzie had introduced
for a public building at Paducah had
been favorably reported by the commit
tee. It was placed on the calendar,
whe»e, in all probability, it would re
main forever unless some extraordinary
effort was made to bring it before the
Hou|e. McKenzie tried repeatedly to
eaten the Speaker’s eye, but for some
reaain Randall chose to ignore him.
1 he end of the session was gradually
drawing near, and McKenzie began to
grow desperate. One day, while the
regular order of business was under con
sideration, McKenzie startled the House
by rising to his feet and shouting:
“Mr. Speaker! I rise to a question of
the highest privilege.”
“l'ha ge ntleman from Kentucky will
state his question,” answered Mr. Ran
dall, turning in McKenzie’s direction.
_ “My question, sir, involves a matter of
the highest privilege—the right of a
member to his seat.”
This rather sensational announcement
drew upon him the attention of the en
tire House. The silence which followed
was broken again by McKenzie, who
continued:
“I ask unanimous consent to take from
the calendar House Bill No. 14,796 and
pass it under a suspension of the rules.”
The calendar was hastily consulted,
when it was discovered that House bill
No. 14,796 provided for the erection of a
public building at Paducah. Ky., Randall
was furious wi»h rage. “The gentleman
from Kentucky forgets himself,” he be
gan, when McKenzie, wi*h comical se
riousness, interrupted him: “1 spoke
the pain, unvarnished truth when I said
the [nissage of that bill involved the right
to my seat. If I don’t succeed in secur
ing the necessary appropriation, I need
never expect to return to Congress again. ”
At this sally the House burst into a
broad roar of laughter, whereupon Frank
Hiscock, over on the Republican side,
begged that Mr. McKenzie’s request be
complied with, and that unanimous con I
sent be given to pass the bill. There I
were no objections, and within sixty sec
onds McKenzie secured what he had
waiteil for months to accomplish.

Another Reason Why.
In support of the assertion that the
Chinese should be relegated to their own
flowery kingdom is furnished by a corre
spondent as follows: “In making a care
ful estimate of the cost of converting
Chinese to Christianity, to the extent of
receiving them into the various churches,
it is found by a close scrutiny of the re
port of six different churches, that the
average cost of their conversion in China,
from May, 1884, to May, 1885, was
$242.33 per convert, while in the United
States, the cost has averaged $390.60 for
each celestial that now says he thinks re
ligion “alice same Melican man.’” The
correspondent thinks that the latter
figures are quite discouraging, and thinks
that if by sending them back to China to
be converted, $148.27 will be saved, that
the move had better be made at once, so
that the difference may be scattered out
in this country to convert a few of our
own “barbarians.”

The best fruit preserves are made by

need concentration to form either simp

long to use sugar for a more rapid pro
