Apportionment Bill The Republicans in the House are filibustering against the pass age of the apportionment bill. Thia is trifling and worse than trifling it is factious. A cotemporary well remarks that some leading Repub licans have acknowledged the jus tice of the pending bill at the figures 307.' The New tork Time, the: exponent of Republican sent!-' tneht, asserts' that it i 'a . proper, indeed, the only just solution of the question. In the' face of this a gronp of the most pestilential blath erskites, for the fancied gain of a few members, plunge the party into a disgraceful contest, which may last to the end of the Session. If their disreputable tactics should succeed, the country would hare the' expense attending the extra sessions of eighteen Legislatures, involving millions of dol ars, to say nothing of the blocking of . the ap propropriation bills, the funding bill, the bank check bill and a score more not less important. i Bso.

Clingman, who spends some of his time about the capital, viewing the scenes of his own ancient con gressional exploits, and ' moralizing npoo the great change that has come since the golden dajs of his prime. "Times have changed changed," says the reteran politi cian, aince I was here. Those were the days of Clay, Webster, Mangum and that order of giants, sir. One change especially I am pained to see. It used to be the practice of the senatsrs to decline recommending men to the president for dee. The rlew which then prerailed was that, as the Senate had to pass on the president's nomi nations, they ought not to com promise their positions by making recommendations or asking favors for friends. I recollect that on one occasion ny senatorial colleague, fr. Manznm. exnressed great in dignation because a certain person urged him to recommend him as an applicant for an office. Tbe stupid fellow,' Mr. Maugum said, does not know that we hare to pass npoo the president' nominations and correct his mistakes, and therefore we cannot let ourselves down by asking him to put our friends in ofice.'

I had to remain till about 8A o'clock when I took passage on the fast freight.train for Dallas, via. Fort Worth. The scenes and inci- dntn of the dar are as follows : Seated in a chair in the conductor's caboose car with about six or eight lellow-passengers we moved along at a rapid rate, running in a north or norti easterly direction. To girc some better idea ot the country aua many streams hereabouts 1 will say it is tnicb broken till away down near Fort Worth, io a distance of 17 miles to where we crossed the Brazos Birer. We passed over four iron bridges! besides several wooden ones, at this distance we struck some rery fine land; the bot toms ot the Brazos are specially broad and good. We passed a section bouse a little way back, where a woman or two came out and got several gallons of water out of onr tender, to cook and wash with, and said there was none to be had near there except when the train men let them hare it. This was like the water giren ns to wash our hands and face at Gordon tnis A. M., muddy like rirer water.

To this course the buzz of the fly, the' drone of the bee, and the boom of the beetle are to be referred.. When a grouse, partridge, or pheasant sud-, denly springs into the air, the sound pro duced by the whirring of ita wings greatly resembles that produced by the contact of sbel with the rapidly revolving stone of the knife-grinder. It hss been eatimatecj that the common fly move it wing 330 times per ecbnd. t. 19,800 times per minute, and tbat the butterfly moves it wings 9 times per second, or 510 times pe minute, j These movements represent as incredibty.high speed even at the roots of the wings ; bat the speed Is enormouslj increased at the tips of the wings, pom the .feat that the tips rotate upon the roots as centres.
