On March 3rd Speaker Carlisle recognized Mr. Henderson, of North Carolina, who offered his resolution relieving the to bacco -growers of the tax on leaf tobac co and ruakfng the restrictions upon the manufacture of distilled spirits and fruit brandy less rigid. When the resolution was submitted to the House Iwo hundred and hfty-one votes were cast, as follows: For the resulution : Democrats, 131; Republicans, 8. Against the resolution: Democrats, 5; Repu blicans, 107. Among those voting for the resolution were such tariff re formers as Morrison, Tucker, Mills and the two Breckenridges. Two-thirds of the whole vote that is, lft8v being necessary for the success of the resolu tion, the resolution was lost. Rich mond State. Dem.

A FEARFUL DESTRUCTION OF PRO PERTY AND ABOUT THIRTY LIVES LOST. Burning of the Richmond Hotel A Graphic Account of the Horrible Scenes. Buffalo, N. Y., March IS. A fire broke out in the new and magnificent Richmond Hotel early this morning. The tire spread rapidly and the guests, aroused by the alarm, ran to the win dows and other possible avenues of es cape. When they saw the flames cut off their escape to the ground the heart rending shrieks could be heard blocks away. Ladders were r:used and a large number rescued. About 7 o'clock it was reported that at least thirty lives had been lost. The hotel buf ned like i tinder box, the corridor in the centie of the building acting as a great funnel. The fire spread to the Bunnell Museum build ing adjoining bagle street aiitt a small frairie building adjoining on Main street, and the three structures were entirely destroyed. ONE GUEST JUMPED FROM A FIFTH STORY WINDOW on to the roof of the frame building v ton- He was completely naked and lay helpless on the roof; He was taken from there and conveyed to the accident hospital. A t a window on the third floor two guests were seen to full imck into the flanies. Three of the servant girls are thought to have perished. Two lady guests, one with a child in her arms, were rescued from a fifth flxr front room at 4 o'clock. They had fainted aud narrowly escaped death. The origin of the fire is not as 3et known. VViik H. Alport, uigfit clerk, said: "The tire started iu the cloak rjotn, under tle main siuirway. at 3:50 a. m. There was nobody tip but mj- beyond the reach of hose. We tried to self, Joe, the night porter, and Plura play both streams upward in the fire mer, the bell boy.

Os wofthe down. I think there were about 84 female domestics appeared at one of guests in the house.' 1 the upper windows, apparenly frantic The spread of the flames is said to have been FKIGHTFUL IX ITS RAPIDITY. The elevator shaft served as a flue i for che fl.imes and they rushed up it to j tae top or floor in a very few minutes As the guests were roud and saw the interior exit cut oE they tbrned to the windows. They could be seW in their night clothes standing outNjlear and vivid before the lurid background of the flames. Their screams were 'horrible to hear. The flames spread to the south of the hotel first. The firemen did noble work and confined the fire within the narrow limits of the three buildiin Their work of rescue had many exciting incidents. At 4:10 o'clock the Cohale building was ablaze, with six streams of water ploughing on the North end, the brisk wind was baffling the efforts of the firemen. By 4:30 the tire had enveloped the North ern half of the block and speeding on to Washington street. bcxn'Kl's museum was embraced iu its destructive grasp and before 4:45, was a gutted ruin. At 0 o'clock the spread of the fire was checked. The ground floor was oc cupied by the reading room and the ofriee of the hotel. The corner occu pied by the Costin clothing house was to have been html up as the oflice m May. Nothing of the hotel building is left standing, except a portion ol the walls. Most of the guests made narrow es capes from death, perhaps the most TH BILLING SSCAPE of any was that of Press Whitaker, step-son of proprietor Stafferd. He roomed in the tilth story, and when a roused; stepped to the window and look ed down for a few seconds, then he de-T liberately armed himself and emerging from the window, stood on the stone base below the window, from this cap-1 ping he stepped to the next one along the front of the building, and proceed ed in this manner to the Hayes truck ladder at the extremity of the front. The move and coolness wus remarka ble. L. E. Smith, of Brooklyn and A. G. Clay, of Philadelphia, had a most re markably experience. They were in adjoining rooms on the fifth floor and tell about the same story. Mr. Clay was aroti3ed by the ring of the electric fire bell and got up. He pressed his J hnger on the buttor, wondering what was wrong, but. the bell continued ring ing. He went to bed again for a min ute or so and-got up a second time to try to stop the noise. It then dawned upon him that something was wrong. By this time the piece was beginning to blaze furiously. He found the stair ways cut off and took to the window, but he and Mr.-rfmith barely reached Bunnell's Museum room, when they looked back and saw FIVE GIRLS IN THE FIFTH STORY WINDOWS. They had tied the bedclothing into a rope which hung out but none of them seemed to have the courage to start. At last one of the five took hold and swung down to a window ledge from from which she was assisted by Messrs Clav and Smith. Three others came down iu the same manner and then the fifth girl started down. She had almost completed the distance when the rope parted and down she went the four sto ries to the ground, but strange to see she was not killed. Her legs were ter ribly cut and bruised, her back badly injured and her fcce and arms were in a frightful condition from burns. She lay moaning upon a lounge at the op era house begging to be sentrhome. Among the guests at the hotel were TWENTY-FIVE INSURANCE MEN who had come to adjust the losses on the Miller &-Greiner. and Courier fires. Tney a re all accounted for. The register was burned together with the ledger and cadi book. The safe contained insuraiice papers and jewel ery and money of some of the guests. One guejt named M. Adler had nearly $30,000 worth of diamonds and P. E. Robertson, who traveled for Aillen Lambebt & Co.. had $25,000 worth of watches, diamonds and jewelery. Chief Hortning, of the tire department said: 'ft i m i a lue number or people rescued arc about 29 to 25. We did all we could to rescue theui. We got two streams into the corridor of the hotel, and at that moment the flames nS re shooting u; th.it bijL: staircase and elevator, w..s Wltn terror.

The shock caused him to lose his balance,but he recover ed himself and, still clasping the girl, slid down the ladder with her in safety amid the cheers of the crowd. All is confusion at present, and it is difficult toget anything like a correct list of the injured, while the names of the missing may not be known for" some time yet, if at all. LOSS ON THE BUILDING destroyed is estimated at . about $500, 000. Stafford & Co. have an insurance on the house and outfit of $4G,0(X); on wines and liquors, 4,500; on billiard tables, $1,200; on hotel improvements, $13,000. The personal effects of the proprietors were insured for about S3, 500. The Buffalo Library Association carried an insurance of $7,000 on the Richmond building and $33,500 on St. James' Hall, occupied by Bunnell's Museum. Peter Paul & Bros, estimate their loss at nearlv $40,000, with an in surance of about $28,000. The stock is a total loss. James Creightoni sa loon keeper, estimates his loss at $7, 000; insurance $3,000. Joseph Palacio, cigar manufacturer, estimated loss $8, 000, partly insured. The two latter places were located in the frame struc ture an Main street. The loss to the proprietors of Bunnell's Museum is not yet known. Mr. M. Adler is said to have had in his room $30,000 worth of Dmraoinfarund jewelery which were not, as previously reported, in the safe. It is said thtf' are lost. A Beautiful Experiment. WATCHING V DROP OF WATER EIGHT YEARS AND A HALF. From the London Telegraph. Rev. Dr. Dallinger, president of the Royal Microscopic Society, recently de livered an address which gives an ex ample of the admirable and unceasing devotion shown by our best scientific men. After dwelling on certain re cent improvements in the construction of lenses, the president, on the occasion referred to, proceeded to describe a series of experiments which he has conducted for nearly ten patient and faithful years. Long ago Darwin expressed the opinion that if he would actually observe and demonstrate the manner in which living creatures adapt themselves, by inward and out ward modifications, to changed circum stances, and so produce what are called new species, it must be, by watching the lowest and least, visible organisms. To such a task Dr. Dallinger set him self. His project was to place and keep under his lenses several varieties of those minute monads, which are incessantly multiplying by fissure or division, and which are nearly at the bottom of animated nature. The gen erations of these creatures succeed each other about every four minutes ; so that in the course of an hour he Sfeau view the passage of fourteen or fifteen generations, which would an swer to something like 450 ears of human history, while a day of monad ic existence would represent more than 10,000 of our years. These monads live in water, and by connecting the lron that serves them for a habitable and roomy ocean with the ingenius apparatus of Prof. Schfer, the temj er ature of this drop can be either kept, constant or raised very slowly and with absolutely steady precision. Here, therefore, were the conditions requisite for gradually altering the climate in which these monads throve; and, if it could be proved that such tiny infusora could indeed be slowly accustomed to changes gre iter than would be suffered ! by animals removed from the equator to the pole, then bright and trustwor thy light would lie cast on the modifi cations of life which we see arrived at on the earth, and Darwin's great law would be largely removed from theory to recorded tact, lo carry out so very delicate an investigation, howeve-, it would have to be proic nged for months, and even years, in order to . imit .te the immense deliberation with wjich nature her elf accomplishes every sub stantial change in her h ghe t produc tions. Night and day, winter ami ' summer, the patient gaze must be kept fixed on those merest specks of silvery 1 fj svhicb had to le nurjel into new condition of existence. The slightest accident to the apparatus might in one moment lender the whole experiment void, and leave the drop of water as lifeless as these islands would be if an other glacial period suddenly arrived. The only reward, on the other hand, for succesef ul and almost inconceivable perseverence would be the discovery of truth, and the re-inforcemeut of Dar win's sublime generalization. But, for the sakeof these, which always satisfy the noble ardor of science. Dr. Dallin ger has given as many years of his life as was spent by the Greeks in the seige of Troy, and has apparently won a scientific victory, the value of which is as signal as his ingenuity and devotion are admirable. We will endeavor briefly to describe the method and the outcome of his most remarkable experiments. The group of microscopic monads were put under the lens in a well fitted water cell at their usual temperature of 00 deg. Fahr., the apartment, the aparatus and all around being carefully kept in precise unison. The doctor then spent the first four months of his observation in raising the temperature time after time by stages less than one sixth' of a degree, until his swarm of protozoa hml reached the new and advanced reading of 70 deg. Fahr. The change, nevertheless, had no more disturbed them than that experienced by a Brit ish family when it emigrates from London to Cape town ; the life history of each group remained unaltered; they moved, gyrated, fed and split themselves into new individuals in just the same manner and within much the same periods as before. When, how ever, three more degrees had been add ed to the 70, the monads showed signs of being decidedly inconvenienced. They were not as lively nor as as produc tive 'sis formerly; yet, by keeping them exactly at this range during two quiet months, they regained their fall vigor and might be compared to emigrants who had become seasoned by surviving the first hot spell in a tropical country. They could not stand by grsidual stejw of increase the enhanced heat of 78 degrees, which was reached at the com mencement of the twelfth month. Yet here, again, a long pause was found to be necessary; the new generations of those silver specks of life under the ghiss were not all alike strong enough to live and thrive. What answers to sunstrokes and fever with us had caus ed vacant spaces to appear in the water drop, said it was only when the monads showed themselves once more lively and prolific by a long em of repose that the careful doctor administered a further dose of caloric. During eight years and si half did he thus slowly and un vveariedly proceed in the same course, iiugnienting the heatTof their surround ing element now and then by slow and slight additions, pausing afterwards for mouths to give the minute creat ures time to accommodate themselves when signs were visible that they were under difliculties, and always going forward to new trials of endurance wh.n they had recovered. In this manner, sifter all those years, Dr. Da' linger brought his small patients to the sistonishiug range of 150 degrees Fahr .nln it. sit which the latest genersi- tion sippeacd ,k s:s jolly as sand boys." It is not possible to fay bow much farther their tiny constitution could have been trained to defy increasing warmth, because the research wsis sit this point accident ly terminsxted; but it will l)e seen that the doctor had brought the little people of his drop world to sustain a heat nearlv 100 de grees higher thiin the flourishing point of their smcestors, and species of which, if taken at the beginning, would have been completely smd instantaneously killed in water of 140 degrees. When we have added that these minute salamanders ierished directlv they were put back into the ancestral medium of 0a degrees, it wijl be manifest that the indefatigable doctor hsid, by the magic of science, effected a miracle of nature almost as striking as if the protococous navilis, which stains the Arctic snow with crimson, had been transformed into the great grasses and feathery bamboos which clothe the burning sides of a mountain under the equsitor. The Cardiff giant has been sold in Texsis for $32.

They' have a fair education, now-a-days, and they live whre the air is fresh and water pure. They ought to be as fresh as daisies, and live long and happily; but, alas ! their kind, good faces fadeeerly. They lose their complexion and their figures, while their city relatives, who sit up half the night, breathe gas and furnace heated air and take no special care of themselves, keep amazingly voung and bright and lively. City wives I live longer, too; for one farmer gener ally eontrives to he a widower two or three times in the course of his exis tence. There mnst be a reason for all this; in fact, there are many reasons. Too much work and too little play; insuffi cient help; families so large that ia themselves they are enongh to occupy one woman s energies and her whole time. Alas ! a new baby every year or two; a dozen children, all told; come into the life of a farmer's wife without lessening her other work at all. While taking care of the new baby and doing the house work she saves little Jimmv from beincr tossed bv the mad hull. fishes little Billy out of the well, shows little Kiltf V how tn l:ifp Ii n rtor Jinn,: J J SSS1 UBS Vfcl binds up the cut on little Fannys hand, L.in.- un supper iu iikuv Xiiipnaiei, helps Samuel out of the green apple tree and ffives him somet ime for the dreadful pain under his apron, puts up lunch for the three who go to school, and hears Hiram sav his examination lesson. She doesn't mind such little tinners as these, nor getting water out of the patent well that has a spring which generally upsets the water over her feet; but she does feel it when the wood is in whole logs and he has forgotten to split the kindlings until she gets used to it. She whitewashes her whole house Spring and Fall, and that is the- time nis relations choose to come and spend a week. Young cousins come, witji lots of finer k,to helpv" and spend their time nirtmg with any young men who are handv, and come in to eat un the pie and sweetmeats. And then comes in ar.other care of the farmer's wife. She cannot go to a grocery and buv sweet things, and sweet things are eaten in vast quanti ties on country tables, bo she must do preserves throughout the warm weath er, until she almosts melts away, and as a usual thing, she sews carpet rags in the twilight. Ko musing for her not even a long rest, with the new baby on her should er, in the rocking-chair on the porch. She must up aud at it. In time the girls help her, but she knows the wo man's lot before them, and saves them i all she can "while they are young." Half the time they never appreciate her sweet unselfishness until they are mothers themselves and she is at rest. Still they do not help. Farmers daughter's are not an idle set. But the boys? They help on the farm, or go away and leave the home empty of their voices, and the country d'jes not tempt them back after they once taste city life. So many sons, and only their photon graphs on the parlor walls, and their old books on a shelf in mother's room, and a letter now and then to say they haven't time to come home Christmas CASH AGAINST CREDIT FARMERS Look to Your Interest.

Even from a mercenary point of view it is false economy to make a good wife a mere beast of burden. Yet many farmers do it unawares. Xeu York Ledger. - How Milk is Made. American Dairyman. The secret of how a cow secretes her milk is an interesting matter of specu lation. It is generally supposed that she makes it during the day, and has it all ready to be delivered at nigh whn the milker calls for it: that is, he hai the milk already made and stowed away in her udder. The surpsise often oc when a cow with a small udder gives a 4arge quantity, while the one with a small bag gives much less milk. This is usualy ac eounted forby alleging that one has a fleshy bag, while the other has an ud der extending up jnto the body. Now we have it Said that the cow really se cretes her milk at the time she is being milked, at least to a certain extent. Prof. Ballentine says many animals have no milk reservoirs, the lactiferous ducts being connected directly with the milk vesicles, so that no considerable a mount of milk: can be carried ready formed. Such, he says, is thq case with the human female, and the larger por tion of the milk must lie secreted while the child is at the breast. This is why a cow from fright or worry, or hiss of her calf or change of milkers'hold up'' her milk, simply because she I as not yet secreted it, and while that rest less uneasy condition lasts it is actually impossible for her to give down her usual flow. The Guinea Fowl. The guinea fowl is a great forager, and destroys many insects that the hens will not touch. They do not scratch the garden, mid though not eas ily kept near tlie house they make known the places where they lay by a peculiar noise which enables one accus tomed to them to find all the eggs they lay. They really cost nothing to raise, and when roosting near tluxjiouse cre ate an alarm should intruders make their appearance.
