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. 181 acres . 2 miles east of Ashland. 125 ly al the end of each month. acres in cultivation, medium house and burn, a fine well at house and good spring at barn.

Times.J 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. It was he who said Hayes’ Administra tion would live in history for two reasons — weak vetoes and cold water at state dinners. Keeping Fruit. [Vick's Magazine.J 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.” Romance in Real Life. The best fruit preserves are made by boiling down the juice without any addi­ tion till it thickens. The natural gum and sugar present in most fiuits only need concentration to form either simp or jelly, but the practice lias been so long to use sugar for a more rapid pro­ cess at the ex[>ense of flavor, that the earlier ami l>e'ter method is all but fur- gotten. The first confections and con­ serves of ftuit ever known were made in this manner, in the rich valleys of Per­ sia and noithern India, a process doubt­ less learned from dates, grapes, figs and nectarines curing themselves on the bough in favoiahle seasons, drying in their own sugar crystallizing r«mid the stem. The grape juice thickening 011 the sides of the wine press in the sun would teach some one more intelligent than his fellows to try evaporating the juice ori slabs of stone, and the honey so made was delicious enough to fix the process in favor.

At the Anti-Chinese Convention at San Jose O'Donnell, who attempted to distribute circulars advocating his claims for the Governorship, was denounced; the sentiment was in favor of boycotting. The impression is that the Chinese on the coast will all concentrate at Portland and San Francisco within the next few months, and that the Six Companies will send t‘ ein home as fast as transportation can be secured.
