WHERE PARROTS COME FROM. What Ther Co.t, Wllere They Are Caught, How Titer Are Treated. New York Tribune. On a Sixth avenue elevated train the other evening was a short, thin man, tanned evidently by exposure in the tropics. He carried, covered over wtih a plaid gingham apron, a curious old-fashioned cage in which i- there was a fine young green parrot. ' "This parrot," he -said, "is a young bird, and as you see well trained. There are two ways of getting these ' birds, by trapping and by catching the young birds in the nest. A trapped bird is wild and it takes two years to train it, for it . bites and fights like a 'soger.' This young one was trained in twelve months. Every six weeks I go to Venezuela on a sailing vessel and try to bring back fifty par rots with me. The Indians catch . jhem up the Orinoco river, and when ever a vessel comes into' port there is a lively scramble on the part of the natives who have parrots or any thing else to dispose of. The train ing of parrots is a regular business of many of the natives in the sea- : port towns of Venezuela, and when ever I have touched at the ports of Brazil or Colombia I found it much the same, except that Brazilian parrots are harder to get along the coast. Indians do nearly all of the trapping, far up in the interior. r "This parrot is for a friend of mine in Forty-ninth street, to whom I have promised one, for .two years, but. could never pick up a really fine one. When I am in port I have so little time that I have to take such birds' as are offered. MM were going-to sell this one I should ask $10, al though my regular price for a young bird is$5. That is what the bird fanciers pay me for them, and they cbst-me $4. That is what I paid for this one six weeks ago at Laguayra. He speaks Spanish, of bourse, -and swearslike a trooper in a dialect of Indian and Spanish. His last own el's in the city of Laguayra have taught him all of the latest slang they .knew. "Yes," he continued, "$1 is all I make on one of these parrots, while on a trapped bird there is only about , fifty cents to be made. I buy them for $2 or $2.50 and sell them for fifty cents advance. They get awful sea sick on even an ordinary -voyage and require as much attention as a sick baby, and many pi them get so lone some when they are shut up alone in , the hold that they die of a broken heart, it seems to me. "Oh, how easy they die," reflec tively sighed the man. "On pfle trip I was bringing up seventy fine parrots and when we were only three days out they began to take sick and die." The ship's doctor said it was a kind of infectious pneumonia. At any rate they i all died but two. That was a bad voyage for me." CANDLES MADEFROM PLANTS. Vegetables HTblcli Bear Wax and Tal low Facts About Camphor. Washington . istar. "Several curious substances of an inflammable nature are produced by plants," said a naturalist to a Star writer. "Many vegetable species bear wax, which, in the form of minute scales on the surface of the plum and other stone fruits, makes what is called the .ibloom.' It exists so abundantly in the fruit of a Virginia myrtle that the latter has received the name of 'candle berry.' These berries are collected in great quan-. titles for their wax.and candles from them burn with a remarkable bright ness and freedom from smoke, at the same time giving out a pleasant fragrance. A wax bearing tree ex ists in South Africa, the berries of rnicn yiem a suostance wnicn is rmade into candles by the Dutch. There are several species of wax palms in South America. One" of them has its leaves covered with wax, while the trunk of another kind is covered with the wax as. with a varnish. i . "A substance very like tallow is yielded by a tree in China, the seed vessels of which are hard brownish husks. Each of them contains three round"white kernels, about the size and shape of hazel nuts. These ker nels have small stones inside them, around which the fatty matter lies, from the pit of the stone an oil for burning in lamps is pressed. Almost all the candies used in the south of China are made from, this vegetable tallow. A tree abounds on the Mala bar coast of India,1 called the 'plney,' which bears a pulpy fruit that yields a great quantity of solid tallow ap proaching wax in firmness and supe rior to animal fat for the manufac ture of candles. . "Another remarkable inflammable substance secreted by plants is cam- . 1 X t t rt . m pnor. j.i is cnieny ODtainea trom.a species of laurel native to the East Indies. In preparing it pieces of the roots are put into an iron vessel tightly covered. When the vessel is heated the camphor rises in the form ot vapor and is condensed on, the cover. That is the primitive method, at all events, though! believe that " it is improved upon by newly invent ed processes. In old trees the cam phor is sometimes found, when the trunks are split open, in a very pure . state, forming small concretions or tears." - I . PERSONAL. V. 1.

We may masque rade it for a little while in the dress of a saint, but death will soon strip off the covering, and at the Judgment we shall stand just as we are. Spurgeon. As Michael Angelo wore a lamp' on his cap to prevent his own shadow- from being thrown upon the picture which he was painting, so the Christian minister and servant needs to have the candle of the Spirit always burning in his heart, lest ' the reflection of self and self-glorying may fall upon his work to darken and defile it. Dr. Af. Gordon, in The Two-Fold Life. It is a high, solemn, almost aw ful thought for every individual man that his earthly influence, which has had a commencement will never, through all the ages, were he the very meanest of all, have an end! What is done is done; has already blended itself with the boundless, ever-living, ever-working uni verse, and will work openly or secretly, throughout all time. Carlyle. Our faith is founded on the clear wotd of God, and there we rest as on a rock, upon which the tide of infidelity has been beating in vain for all the cen turies that are past. The waves of skep tical assault have broken upon it only to be dissipated into spray and foam. The grand old Bible seems to lift itself in tri umph after each shock, exactly as the rock appears to emerge from the break ers when the ocean tide has spent its force. Andrew W. Archibald, D.

FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. . , ' SENATE. .. - ' Washington, D. C April 28. . The resolution offered on the iSth ot April by Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, for payment to the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations for their interest in lands in Indian territory (Cheyenne and Arapa hoe reservation) was laid before the Sen atft and Mr. Allison took the floor to speak against it, when Mr." Sherman re marked that as the resolution involved some three million dollars, he would like to ee a quorum present. The roll was thereupon called and 65-Senators (more than a quorum) responded.and Mr. Allison proceeded to present his objec tions to the resolution, which he said would not only commit the Senate to a recommendation to the President for Immediate payment of nearly three mil lion dollars, but would also commit the Senate to! reasoning Pn arid statements in the printed report of the Committee on Indian Affairs, in direct antagonism to the argument and presentation made by the President. The appropriation had been made ; in the closing hours of the last Congress (on an . amendment of fered to the Indian Appropriation bill by Mr. Jones, of Arkansas) without any re commendation on the part of the commit tee on Indian Affairs in either House.The pending resolution inyolved really ten million dollars, because there lay be hind it another like claim, amounting in round numbers to about seven million dollars. What he thought, therefore, ought to be done was to recommit the whole subject to the Committee on In dian Affairs, and he would make that motion at the close of the debate.' , Messrs. Jones, Teller and Perkins op posed Mr. Allison's proposition and advocated the passage of Mr. Jones' reso lution. v Without disposing of the question the Senate at 5 p. m., adjourned until Mon day. . .. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The House was engaged'' in doing nothing during the first hour of its ses sion this morning. The resolution making the position of Assistant Journal Clerk annual instead of a session one, having finally been adopted, the House by unanimous con sent went into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Oates, of Alabama, in the Chair) on the Diplomatic and Consular Appro priations bill. The pending question was on Mr. Hill's amendment restoring to $7,500 the salary of the minister to Venezuela. No quorum voting a call of the commit tee was ordered. Although 192 mem bers responded to their names the quo rum vanished on a vote on the amend ment and another call showed that 170 members were present. These consti tuting a quorum, the tellers resumed business at the old stand; but business was slack and again the tellers went into liquidation, and another roll call was in sisted upon. This time 180 prospective customers responded, but when business was again resumed, the number of custo mers dwindled; Republicans steadfastly refused to patronize and allowed the trading to be done exclusively by Dem ocrats, and again the tellers were forced to suspend business. This time the committee,on motion of Mr. Blount, rose. Mr. Blount then moved that the House adjourn, and on this motion demanded the yeas and nays. The result was, yeas 19, nays 183. Then Mr. Blount offered the following resolution : "Whereas there are a large number of members absent from the House and public business is delayed, the sergeant-at-arms is directed to bring in all ab sentees, and the proceedings in connec tion therewith shall be in accordance with rule fifteen in cases where a call of the House is ordered. Leaves of absence are hereby revoked, except for provi dential causes." Mr. Bergen, of New Jersey, made the point of order that as the previous roll call showed that a quorum was present the resolution was not in order. This point was over-ruled by the Speaker, and then Mr. Miller, of Wisconsin, moved to lay the resolution on the table. Mr. Blount modified his resolution by inserting after the words "to bring in all absentees," the words "without leave," and at the close of the resolution the words "and the roll shall immediately be called to ascertain what members are absent." j Mr. Miller then withdrew his motion and Mr, Blount demanded the previous question. On division the vote stood 134 to 8 and Mr. Burrows quietly made the point ot no quorum. Thereupon a call of the House was ordered. After weary waiting tor some returns from the Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. Blount, offered a resolution revoking all leaves of absence, except those granted on account of sick ness. Adopted. That the question of securing a quorum is a live one, is evi denced by the fact that ddring this call of the House the Sergeant-at-Arms pro cured several hacks and. his deputies proceeded at full speed to Bennings. where the spring races are being held; but the return from the races was not as speedy as the trip thereto, and as it was evident that no business could be trans acted Mr. Blount offered a resolution rescinding the call of the House, except so far as revoking leaves of absence, and the direction for the arrest of absentees were concerned. The resolution was agreed to, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WASHINGTON, D. G, April 29. i In the House 'this morning the Speaker called attention to the fact that at the time of adjournment yesterday the Sergeant-at-Arms had been given warrants for the arrest of absantee mem bers. He would now ask the, officer to make his report. Col. Ike' Hill then proceeded to the space in front of the Speaker's desk to submit his report, when he was interrupted by Mr. Owens, of Ohio, with a point of order that after the adjournment of the House last night the Sergeant-at-Arms had authority no to bring in absantees. ihe bpeaker re plied that it was not a question of order. It was a question for the House to de cide. But Mr Owens persisted in his objections, declaring that the House had no right to issue such an order. The Speaker said that that question would arise when the Sergeant-at-Arms made his report. ; Col. Hill stated that nineteen war rants had been put in his hands. Two members he had failed to find; one had been suddenly called away' on account of sickness in his family; four were out of town. He had notified the other twelve, and they had promised to be here this morning. The Speaker stated that the sergeant-at-arms had called on him last night and asked what he should do with the members upon whom he seived warrants. The Speaker had taken the liberty to instruct him to notify them to be present to-day. Mr. Owens then came in with bis pro test that the House had no right to take the action it had taken yesterday. It had always been held that an adjourn ment terminated proceedings under a call of the House. The Speaker stated that the question had been determined yesterday. Without objection the House naa adopted the resolution refusincr to rescind the order for arrest. 1 he recalcitrant members were then summoned to the bar of the House nnrt -called upon there to present- such ex cuses lor their absence as they might see fit. All were excused after excuses which in a few cases were genuine and made in good faith; in others farciaL The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the private calendar. The Sibley relief bill which has been clogging the wheels of private legisla tion for the past two months was finally laid aside with favorable recommenda tion, after havine been amended so as to refer the claim to the Court of Claims I for adjudication. . , :,. : Mr. Hiram Johnson's bill f (Tennes see's war claim), which has receive at tention for many Congresses, was de bated for the remainder of the afternoon without determination, v ' The committee then arose and the House, without disposing of the Sibley bill, took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session for the consideration of private pension bills. . HOUSE , OF REPRESENTATIVES - ' Washington, D. C, April SO. ' This was an ideal day for the races. There were not. one hundred members present when the Speaker called, the House to order at noon. - The' House . by unanimous consent went info committee of the whole. (Mr. Oates. of Alabama, in the Chair) on the Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation bill, the pending amendment being that offered by Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, restor ing to $7,500 the salary of the minister to Venezuela, wliich the bill proposed to reduce to $5,000. Messrs. Hitt and Blount resumed business as tellers, but received little patronage from Republi cans. . However, they were patient and for almost an hour awaited Democratic customers, ; who wee summoned from committee rooms by pages and door keepers and their patience was rewarded and they were enabled to close up busi ness with honor. A quorum appeared and the amendment was lost 1U toi49. - Mr. Post, of Illinois, offered an amendment restoring Denmark as a separate mission, and fixing the salary of the Minister at $7,500. Mr. Post's amendment was supported by several members from Illinois, Iowa, Minne sota and Wisconsin, and by Mr. Cum mings, of New .York. With the North western men one ot the controlling rea sons for their position was, that among their constituents are a great many Scandinavians, whose pride would be hurt by reducing the importance of the United States' representative at Den mark. Another reason was that Den mark has taken 'great interest in the Chicago Fair, and has made liberal pre parations for representation there. Mr. Blount opposed Mr. Post's mo tion on the score that the proposed re duction was part of the gener il scheme of economy that governed the prepara tion of the bill. He asked unanimous consent that debate on the ametfdment be considered as closed. - Mr. Cumming vehemently objected, whereupon Mr. Blount moved that the committee rise for the purpose of clos ing debate. , "That is on the line with the spirit of the committee that drew this bill," said Mr. Cummings indignantly. "The com mittee has a spirit as lofty as that of the gentleman," . responded Mr. Blount warmly. "And one far more parsimonous and mean," retorted Mr. Cummings. "The gentleman is often in that attitude to the majority,"was Mr. Blount's rejoinder. Finally Mr. Blount withdrew bis mo tion, stating that his only object in mak ing it was to facilitate the action ol the bill. Mr. Cummings being accorded the floor said that he - would vote for the amendment. He wanted to rebuke this House for the spirit of parsimony which was exhibited in the endeavor to consol idate the Danish and Swedish missions. In the 51st Congress there were just as many members, Scandinavian born, as there were members born in Ireland and Germany. This bill, so far as it concern ed these nations, was an insult to two million of our Scandinavian citizens. The Committee on Foreign Affairs had done injustice not only to the people of Denmark, whose nation was monarchi cal, but to ; our sister Republics of South America. Again he wanted to rebuke this parsimony. It meant really, virtually, legislation in fa vor of the rich and against the poor. Applause on the Republican side. For by reducing the salaries of ministers and consuls, the offices were placed in the hands of plutocrats and taken from the hands of educated, hon est, laboring or professional men. He appealed to the House not to place this Government in a position where it would be regarded by all countries as the one national miser of the world. Messrs. Williams, of Massachusetts, Dingley, and Boutelle, of Maine, also came to the rescue of the Danish mis sion, and advocated Mr. Post's amend ment. Then Mr. Blount said that as it seemed that there was a strong disposi tion on the part of members to retain Denmark as a separate mission, he would not press his opposition to the amend ment. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Blount offered an amendment re ducing from $80,000 to $60,000 the ap propriation for meeting any unforeseen emergency arising in the diplomatic and consular service. Uiscussion which arose upon the amendment brought the Italian question to the lore, through criticism made upon the payment of the Italian indemnity out of the emergency fund by the President s action. Messrs. McMillin, Breckenridee, , of Kentucky. Chapman, of Michigan, and others took the ground that the Presi dent in his action in that matter had usurped function that belonged to Con gress alone and that had set a dangerous precedent. ' Mr. Blount's amendment was agreed to and Mr. Chapman offered a provision that no part of the sum agreed to be appropriated as an emergency fund shall be paid to any power in settlement of any claim against the United States. On agreed men t to Mr. Cbipman's amend ment the vote stood 85 to 43. Mr. Ray, of New York, raised the point of "no quorum" and at Mr. Bur row's suggestion. Mr. Blount asked the consent that further consideration of the amendment be postponed- for the present. There was no objection, nor was there any to - Mr. Blount's further request that the paragraph relative to the continental railway commission and to the international union of' American republics be passed over. - Pending further consideration the committtee rose and the House ad journed. . 1 POLITICAL POINTS.- The Republicans claimed three months ago that Cleveland was political? i . . ... ... iy aeaa, tney Kiiiea mm oyer again in Rhode Island, and have frequently buried him. But at the present writing it iuoks as tnougn air. Cleveland is about the "livest man in the Presiden tial race. Savannah News, Detn. Conventions for the election of delegates to the State Convention was held yesterday in several counties, and Cleveland delegates were almost every. where chosen. When the instructions for Cleveland were not given outright, the delegates were instructed to vote for "the roost available man," which means practically the same thing as in strutting for Cleveland.
