Along with this bill considerate excitement and lun have been fui i.ished by the Judicinry Genen Committee iu the henrii'U prante the Iriends and eneiniis of wiuit i known as tbe " Vivisection bill." I is an act to pr d ibit doctors or su geons from killing any dumb ato tual, or injuring tne niuc, for th Bake uf making scientific inveatiga tiou.

It is need lefflto say she is still single. Afte a thorough bearing on both sides lie bill wa reiarted negatively, an that. metaiDts, will be tbe euo of it. The Senate has pasted finally a bill to enable judges to coiieti double compensation for the day they eerve in courts other than theii own. " Also, a bill giving preference to the wages of servant, clerks am other employes, to le first paid ou of the proceeds of the sale of tlx property of insolvent debtors owin wages to such employes. tftuiitor IXtoper baa oucceeded i getting under food headway bis bib providing for the maintenance' ju,(! industrial etlucation of tne indigent children of the iState, and ha amen ded it, providing for tbe separ.it. education of the soldiers' orphans j.i : 1 : . 1 ' T f i anu int! mullein, cuuoreii, aim pro viding that aB the soldiers' orphan schools are abandoned, the iudige.nl children shall be educated in tbest schools. This is a uiea-'ure t.'iat the different charitable institutions are interested in, and the (i. A. li is en deavoring to have passed. The Senate has parsed on second reading a Congressional apportion ment bill that, differs very greatly and mHtenally from the one intro duced by Hon. A.

I do not desire to vindi cate the Pennsylvania Legislature for all it does, but I do say that the charee of its not doing anything is utterly false, and is the outgrowth .if the cvnicism. The G. A.

Sanco, A Hore Thai Ilide Down Hill. Tbe Appral of Carson, Nevada, 4ives tbe. lolloaiug details of a method for riding a horse down hill:, 'Mr. Torreyson, the blacksmith of ibis place, is noted for his kindness io animals. He has just built a road cart, which in destiued to rev .lutionize road travel and to ma terially lighten tbe labors of that .ioble animal the horse. The idea ,s to occasionally give the horse a nance to ride iu the cart as driver. The idea was first suggested to Mr. l orrcyson by seeing a turtle move bng tbe road carrying bis Ebell with him. The vehicle made by vlr. Torreyson has four high wheels, md the place between them arched, o tbe horse is bitched under the vagon between the wheels, his head recting a little oeyona me iroiu heels and his tail just barely clear- g the hind wheels., lne urner tts right over the horses neck, and tie others in the wagon face out ard on each side.

Dr. Lor ing's garden seed department is busy place these days. Tbe states men over in the Capitol who got cir culars from the Doctor at the open ing of the session notifying them that they had $1S0 worth of seeds spices due them have been remark ably prompt in responding. Con gress votes $100,000 annually for seeds. Two-thirds of this sum goes back in seeds to the 400 Senators and Representatives, and the Com misioner of Agricultural distributes tbe rest through other channels. Each Congressman is allo'.ed 5,000 papers of flower seeds, to begin with In addition, the members from to bacco districts have received in the past year 500 papers of imported to bacco seed each; the cotton belt members have each had 200 quarts of cotton seed ; the wiuter wheat meu have had 200 quarts apiece of this staple grain ; the spring wheat Representatives have been equally f.ivored, and the corn Congressmen have been blessed in abundance with kernels of choice maize. All the Congressmen received in July, about the time the uominationg con ventions were held, 1,000 papers of turuip seed each; and grass seed, three or four bushels to the member were showered alike upon the just and unjust. Sorghum and sugar beet seeds were seut also to favorable districts. The pecularities of are often indi cated by the manner in which they dispose of Dr. Loring's crops. Borne latitude of choice is allowed, and members who are well up in farm ing and gardening get tbeir quota in the one or two grains or vegetables that are stople articles in their dis tricts. ben Lefevre, who comes back to the House term after term with steadily increasing majorities, is par ticularly stroug in turnip seed, al though his gallant bachelor heart always prompts him to sow a few choice flower seeds in the gardens of his lady admirers. blout, of Georgia, runs entirely to cotton seed, and is solid with his constituents. Tbe Hon. Samuel J. Randall has nil bis seeds sent in a bundle to b yu M'wr and attends to their hiniiution when be gets hoiuc. Spenker Carli-le is not so method ical Whenever a constituent asks him for seeds he Bends the letter to Commisioner Loring, aud asks him to attend to the request, lie is cire less about getting his full allow ance. The champion seed distributors of the House are Taylor ot Tennessee and Jones of Texas, with Lanbam of IVxas, a good third. '1 hese Con gressmen represent big and grow ing di6tricts,with innumerable wants. I'bey are omnivorous. They ex haust thir own allotment of seeds early, and then get as many assign ments of orders from other Congress men as they can. A literary Con gressmen who wants to swap seeds lor documents is a great find for a seed Congressman. The Hon. Thomas Porterhouse Ochiltree was a ereat seed hunter before he was a Congressman, but having once been elected, lie neglec ted his constituents in this parlicu lar strangely. In reply to the last notification that seeds were awaiting his order he replied : My constituenty don't go much on seeds, but they are mighty fond of partridges. You may seud a few coops around to my room. Dr. Loring is looking up the law on the subject to see if he can com ply with the requisition. Col. Ochil tree says if a member c?n have co logne and suspenders charged to his stationery account, he sees no reason why partridges cannot be enumera ted under the head of turnips and Jerusalem artichokes. Nevada Jones has a constituency that grows nothing but quartz rock. He gives away his seeds to his swarms of friends. . The frosty Edmunds is as formal and mysterious in the seed busi ness as he is in everything else. Nobody ever sees bis list of benefi ciaries. He does not send it to the department, but orders the seeds seut to his room in bulk. He then goes into executive ' session with himstlf, and before coming out makes a solemn oath never to di vulge what has happened. Across th Seas.

Y. : Uefbotlv Eyitt. For manr yean deterioration in tbe eyesight, especially atnoug ' pu pils arooog papa cnuarco mu stu dents, has been a topic of complaint not only io this country but in Eu rope. The report not long since of a committee of the Medical Society which examined the eyes of 4000 school-children in this city with the oplhalmoscope. as well as similar examinations in other cities, shows that the organ of eight grows weaker as the term of study grows longer. Drs. Agnew, Dery, Seguin nd other eminent medical - scientists hare placed on record their opinions that our schoolrooms are the factors most directly influential in the gradual and increasing development of a race of near-sMtbted people. A writer in the Popular Science Monthly. Samuel Yoike, at Lee, says mat 'there are records of the examination of the ejres of 45,000 school chil dren, of all ages end grades, wbite and colored, and it has been proved tbat near sightediiesa increases, from class to class, until, in . the highest grades, it has actually been develop ed in as many as 60 or 70 per cent of all the scholars." The causes, he says, to which this deterioration ! eyesight has been attributed are alleged to be cross-lights from oppo site windows, light shining directly ou the face, insufficient, small types and to the position of the desk, for cing the scholar to bend .over and bring the eyes too dose to tne dook or writing paper, etc. But he- de clares that were all these defect rem edied the integrity of ihe eye would not be restored nor its deterioration prevented. The chief causes of the evil, the colors of the paper and the ink, would still remain. Wnite pa per and black ink he asserts are ru ining tbe eyes ot all reading nations. He would, therefore, substitute some other than the universal color of our paper that the eye of the student may no longer be -wearied with the my opian contrast of black and white. This color, he says, na;ure and s ci ence declare should be green, and adds: "Let our books be pru te 1 on green pper, and let our printers use red, yellow or white ink for the noxious black Tne reform would be revolutionary, and the inter sts of the trade would b at first hostile to the change. For thousands of years, from papyrus to superfii e glittering note-paper, our eyes have been exposed to the deleUriou in fluences of black and while. Tbe change to green, yellow and red. or to some other agreeable nflective tints, is eventually certain to take place. Science and comn on sense will compel it. Ihe substitution can not, probably, be sudden nor immediate, for the stationery world must be turned upside dorn in the process; old school buoks, blank books and writing-books and inks iiius) be displaced ; and publishers and paper manufacturers will have to adopt their measures to the new dispensation, but, when it is con sumed, everybody will rejoice, except the spectacle-makers. Bard Time. Where'er you maj roam you will hear men talking about the hard times, and redicting that we are to have a very bad business year. But then it is a con ding reflec tion that the time was never known that moneyed men didn about the financial outlook. groan Let a couple of banks break, and the merchant who has been doing a prosperous business begins to wear hi face long, and to tell his clerk that he has been a heavy loner, as a prelude to tearing down tbeir sala ries.. Therefore, it is not well to listen to the xong of the bondholder, because business will he brisk, anyway. The baker will never fail, because the people will never stop eating bread. The barber will never fail, because loi.esome people want to be talked to and cheered up. The hank will never fail, bectuse the washer woman mtiwt have a place to deposit her savings. We might go on and make a list of facta to prove that bur-ines must keep up ; but we will mrt do it We will simply point out a few signs which go to prove that times are not fluid). The times may be adjudged hard .
