CorrrtponOencti lioehealtr lxsmnrnt.) No city upon the American contin cnt lina n Inrgcr floating popiilntton Ihnn VWiWton. It is oitlmat, 1 Unit during tlio sessions of congress twenty-five thousand people, whoso homos nro in various parts of this and fOthur countries, make this uity their placo of residence. Some como here, attracted by tho advantages tho city offers for making tho acquaintance of public men ) others havu various claims which they wish to present, while tho great majority gather here, ns tho crows flock to the carriou, for the solo purpose Of getting a morsel at tho pub lic crib. The latter class, as a general thing) originate the many schemes which terminate in vieious bills, all of whioh are neither directed nt tho pub lic treasury, or toward that revonuo which tho black-mallingof corporations or jinvato enterprises may bring. while walking down 1'cnnnylvama avenue the other day I met Mr. Wil liam M. Ashley, formerly of your city, whoso long residence here has made him uuusuaily well acquainted with the operations of tho lobby. ( Having made my wants in this par ticular direction known, in answer to an interrogative, Mr. Ashloy said : "Yes, during my residence hero I havo becamo well acquainted with tho workings of the 'Third House,' as it is stermed, and could tell you of numerous jobs, which, like tho 'Heathen Chinee,' aro peculiar." . "You do not regard tho lobby, as a body, vicious, do you 1" "Not necessarily uc, there aro good and bad men comprising that body j yet there havo been tunes when it must bo admitted that tho combined power of tho 'Third House' has over ridden tho will of tho people. Tho bad influence of the lobby can bo seen in tho numorous blood-bills that are in troduced at every session.'' "But how can these bo discover ed V "Easily enough, to the person who has made the thing a study. I can detect them at a glance. "Tell me, to what bills do you re fer t" "Well, tako the annual gas bills, for instanco. They are introduced for tho purpose of bleeding the Washington Gas light company. They usually re sult in an investigating committee which never amounts to anything more than a draft upon tho public treasury for tho expenses of the investigation. Another squeeze is tho abattoir bills, as they aro called. These, of course, aro fought by the butchers and market men. The lirst attempt to force a bjll of this description was in 1877, wbeh a prominent Washington politi cianW)fi'red "a -fabulous sum lor the franchise.'' "Anything else in this lino that you think of, Mr. Ashley t" "Yi'f, there's the job to reclaim the Potomau tlatn, which, had it become a law, would havo resulted in an enormous steal. Tho work is now be ing -"done by the Government itself, ana will rid the place of that malarial atmosphere of which ive hear so much outside the city." ""During your residence hero have yon experienced tho bad results of liv ing .in this climatn'" "Well, while I have not at all times .enjoyed good health, I am certain that the diflicaity which laid me up so long was not malarial. It was something that had troubled mo for years. A shooting, stinging pain that at times attacked different parts of my body. One day my right arm and leg would .torture tne with pain, there would be .great-redness, heat and swelling of the parts ; and perhaps the next day tho left. arm and leg would bo similarly af fected. Then again it would locate in some particular part of my body and produce a tenderness which would well nigh drive mo frantic. There would be weeks at a time that I would bo af flicted with an intermitting kind of pain that would come on every after noon and leavo mo entirely free from suffering during the halanco of the twenty-four hours. Then I would have terrible paroxysms of pain coming on at any tirao during tho dav or night when 1 would bo obliged to lie upon my back ifor hours and keep as motionless as possible. Every time I attempted to move a chilly sensation would pass over my body, or I would faint from hot flashes. I suffered from a spas modic contraction of tho muscles and a soreness' of tho back and bowels, and evep my eyeballs became soro and dis tressed mo'greatly whenover I wined my face, I became ill-tempered, peevish, fretful, irritable and desperately des pondent." "Of course you consultod tho doctors, regarding your difficulty T" "Consulted them ? well I should say. I did. Soma told mo I had neuralgia ; others that I had inflammatory rheu matism, for which there was no cure, that I would bu afflicted all my life, and that time alone would raitigato my BuiienuKS, "But didn't n't they try to relievo your "Yes, they vomited and miseries i ' "i es, tiiev physiced nio, blistered and bled me, plastered and oiled me, sweat, steamed and everything but frozo me, but with out' avail." "But how did you finally recover t" "I had a friend living in Michigan who had been afflicted in a similar way and had been cured. He wrote mo re garding his recovery and advised me to try tho remedy which cured him. I procured a bottle and commenced its use, takiug a tablo-spoonful after eaoh meal and at bed timo. I had used it about a week whon I noticed a deoreaso of .tho sorenesH of the joints and a ucn .oral, feelinu of roliof. 1 persevered in its use and finally got so I could movo around without limping, when I told my friends that it wbs Warner's Safe Illieumatia Cure that had put me on my feet." "And do you regard your cure as permanontt'' "Certainly, I haven't tiecn so well in years us I am now, and nil dough I havo been subjected to fr quent and severe uhang s of weather this winter, I havo not felt the first intimation of the return of my rlii-innutio trouble." "Do you ibji-ct to tin' piililii-ulinii nf this interview, Mr. A-hhy 1" "Nut at all, sir. I look ni ou it h a duty I uwu my lebo er aiuie-i to al lvviate tin ir cuff'-iings si lar as I am abju, and any communication regaidiug symptoms and euro that may be scut to me at .100 Main avenue will receive prompt and careful attention.'1 "Judging from your recital. Mr Ash ley, there must be wonderful curative properties about this medicine T" "Indeed, there is, sir, for no man suffered more nor longer than did I beforo this remedy gave mo relief." "To go back to tho original subject, Mr, Abhley, I suppose you see thosamo familiar faces about tho lobby session after session t" "No, not. so much so as you might think. iSow faces aro constantly scon nnd old ones disappear, Tho strain upon lobbyists Is necessarily very great, and when you ndd to this tho demoralising effect of late hours nnd intcmpcrato habits and tho fact that thny are often found out in their steals, their disappearance can easily bo ao counted for," "What proportion of these blood-bills aro successful t1' "A very small percentage, sir. Not withstanding tho power nnd influence of the lobby, but few of theso vicious measures pas. Wero they successful it would ho a sad commentary upon our system of government, ami would virtually annihilate ono branch cf it. The great majority of them km cither reported ndversly or smothered in com mittcu by tho watchfullness and loyalty of our congressmen. J. K. D. Farm Animals and Farm Labor. Mr. J. It. Dodge, statistician of tho Agricultural ueimrtmcnt at wasning-i ton, has made a teporl upon the num bers and values of farm animals in the United States nnd tho wages of farm laborers. From this report it is learn ed that the whole number of farm ani mals In tho United States has increas ed sinco February, 1883, by about 4, 000,000, as follows: Slock. 1833. 1881. Increase Horses 10,833,111 11,10'J,GS3 331,37 Mules 1,87l,0;0 1,914,190 4.1,W Milch C0W3 19,183,030 13,501,3 0 317,521 Oxen and other cattle 28,048,071 29,016,101 1,000, ft!

There has been an increase in the value of horses, mules and all kinds of cattle with a considerable decline in the price of swine and a small falling off in the values of sheep. Mr. Dodgo submits statistics to show that both tho value of farms and tho wages of agricultural labor are greatest in thoso States wheio industries aro most diversified. In the manufacturing States of Massa chusetts, Ilhodo Island, Connecticut,! Now York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania1 and Delaware, where only 18 per cent, of all laborers are engaged in agricul ture, each of those laborers earns $457 per annum, and the average valuo of land is $47.34 per acre, lu tho agri cultural States, on tho other hand, where 77 per cent, of tho laborers aro engaged in farming, the wages of such laborers aro only SlliO per annum, I nnd the average value of farm lands only $20.81 per acre. "In every State," Mr. Dodgo says, "the rate of wages is affected favorably, by the presence of manufactories,, whatever other causes of differauco may prevail." It is shown that tho presence of other industries gives more production per capita, while home markets make higher pi ict-s. 'Contact of industrial ideas and prevalence of mechanical skill also tend to labor-saving ingenuity nnd manual dexterity in the w.uk of agriculture. Tho wages of tho farm laborer (including board); now range fiom $13.67 per month inj the Slates where agriculture occuiesl 77 per ennt. of the laboring populatfqn, to &24.14 per month in the stales) where only 18 per cent, of all laborers) aro engagi-d in agricultuiai pursuits.! Tho averago for the wholo United! States is $18.58 per month, an increase of nearly 40 per cent since 1854. Domestlo Eecipes, Delicious tapioca cream to bo eateni cold is made easily.

A tablespoonful of powdered sugar should be beaten with the eggs Is there a woman anywhere who has never been vexed to know what to, have for dinner! This may he helped if on some happier day she sits down' with pencil and paper, and makes a list of the possible dinners that aro within her power to prepare; the kinds of meat and tho way to cook them, tho kinds of puddings and pies which are, on the bill of fare. It is a fact that al most every housewife has a bill of fare, though sho might bo surprised if you wero to tell her so This list is really a great help ; very often a good din ner, and one with sufficient variety,' might bo put upon tho table if one could only think just what to havo at the proper moment, A list which I saw for desserts commenced thus: "Prune, pio, lemon pie, corn staroh pudi ding, plain, with fruit, or with choco late; bread pudding, baked Indian pudding, bauberries, lomou tartlets." Babies not only enjoy hut they need some variety in food ; many a sickly looking child rf less than two years might be benefitted greatly if caro were bestowed upon his diet. Bread and milk and potatoes aro not sufficient for him ; wet toast, buttered, and broth, with plenty of salt, but no pep. per, will he nourishing and appetizing, Add barley to it, or rice. Beef tea, diluted a little, is also excellent, Wheat bread alono should not bo given, but Graham and Indian or corn bread also. The Cause of Winter Floods. In Italy, in Spain, in Southerii France, the causo of that cuise of the rainy season has been ascertained with ahsoluto certainty, and can bo illustra ted by a simple experiment. Cover a tahlo with a thick stratum of sponge moss and pour on a gallon of water.

Transplanting Trees- A writer in the Farm and Fireside, in his directions respecting tho treat ment of trees beforo their removal, states as follows: A treo in full leaf may bo compared to a powerful pump. the roots absorbing water from tho soil which is carried upward through the stem, and exhaled from the leaves in tho form ot vapor. Uns exhalation from the leaves is really tho primary operation, however, being simply a pro cess of evaporation. If, now, the prin cipal portions of tho roots bo cut away, especially tho fine rootlets which aro the farthest from the stem and through whose extremities nearly; all tho water is absorbed, tho leaves if allowed to grow, will exhaust tho water from the stem and roots more rapidly than it enn bo supplied-by tho remnant of tho latter, and tho consequences, will be tho destruction of tho trees. Hence, in, transulantiug trees tho jeaf bearing twigs should bo ciii away in proportion to the loss of roots, and it should bo remembered that the root surface is generally equally to that of ino iwigsj.coiii-cqueutly tho satest rule is to remove nearly all the branches, ; trimihiiig to bare Doles. It is hard .to do this but the after-growth ot thotreo will be enough more rapid to compen sate the apparent loss. In moving large trees it is an excellent plan to dig down and cut off a largo portion of mo root a year Detore transplanting, removing a portion-of the top at the same' tune. This will cause the formation of new rootlets near the bU-iu, which may be ............. i .1... C 1 . .1 .!. pracnuu in nit; nuai transplanting. 1 i Within Alan's Memory. All the railroads of this country i navo oeen bum within the lifetime of a man tiO years of ago. Tho "Calendar of American History" informs us that tho first railroad wasbuilt'in 1820 from the granite quarries of Quinoy, Mass., to mo iNeponset river. It was. two miles in length, and run by horse pow-( er. Tho first locomotive used in the United States was ono brought from England in 1828, and tho first Ameri 1 can make was the locomotive named "Tom Thumb," constructed by Peter Cooper two years later and placed on the Baltimore and Ohio road, the first passenger line. Tho first eugino aver-l aged about fourteen miles, an hqur.i and "many people predicted in Ameri-I ca as they had in England, that it' would never be, able to move" its own! weight, but that the. wheels would! spin round and round upon tho rails.) Others thought that it would .destroy! the valuo of farming lands by fright-l ening all I the animals and woVdd stopi the raising of sheep, because their wool would bo blackened bv the! smoke."

Dkstuoyino Si.uos Vick's M.io-n. zine has tho following plan for catch-. ing siugs : lake some pieces of state, or flat stones, or flat pieces of tin, and lay them about in the warden nmniiir the plants, distributing them veryl noeruiiy, just at sundown go out and pjaco a teaspoouful of bran on each' piece of slate or tin. and the slmrs will' soon become nwaro of it, and begin to I 1 !.

It isj well, also, to go around in tho .morni ing ; and many slugs will bo found' hiding under the pieces of slato, and can bo destroyed in the brine. By foe lowing up this method persistently for a few weeks tho garden may bu eifect-i ually rid of tho iiuisa,uce. A series of experiments instituted to test the averago loss in weight by dry ing, show' that corn loses one-fifth and wheat ono fourteenth Ijy thp procejSi From this statement it appears thaj farmers will make more by selling un shelled com in tho fall al 75 cents thai) tlm following summer at $1 a bushel, and that wheat at $1.32 iu December, is equal to $1.50 for the same wheat in J une following, Th'a estimate is made on tho basis of interest at 7 per cent, and takes no account of loss from verr mm. Iheso facts are noteworthy. The til st consideration, says Henry Stwart, for tho farmer should bo to maku his animals comfortable. As ho knows hbw grateful a cup of hot coffee is to him, let him provide a warm brail slop for his cows, and follow it up with a geiurons feed of cut hay nnd meal. The result will h reen iu the full milk pail and the thick cream from the cows and the continuous and healthful growth of tho valves. This comfortable lodg ing aud geuerous feeding is tho key to successful winter dairying, and when butter is rtllrty-fivo or forty cents a pound it will pay to givo tho oows tho best of.care.
