Isso. 1 luring the week a small propor ' on of t he I temocrat ic side of both Ib.ii-es of ('(ingress went over to New Voik to exchange views with the President elect. These visitors and advisers all agree that the coming man is courteous, approach able, and a good listener. They agree likewise that they got aston ishingly little in return tor all the information which they liberally imparted to him. 'onseijneiitly the week ends where it began in mystery so far as Mr. Cleveland's intentions are concerned. He said laughingly, to Congressman Van Laton. that sometimes he went to bed at night thinking he had his Cabinet all arranged, but woke up in the morning to find himself as far from a decision as ever. The special attention shown by him to Senator Lamar has started a good deal of speculation. Other Missis sippi Congressmen, who went over to urge the appointment of Repre sentative Money for Postmaster General, were heard briefly, while Senator Lamar was detained in close conference for a long time. Senator Lamar considers the Sena tor from Arkansas, Mr. Garland, the best qualified man in the party for Attorney-General. but has said that he would not accept a Cabinet position himself for several reasons. one heing tnat anotner citizen oi his State, Mr. Money, was in the field. The accounts of Mr. Cleveland's friends agree in the belief that he places more reliance for the success of his administration on the useful than on the ornamental. They think he is desirous of having men iu his Cabinet, who. besides being competent for their duties, will devote as much hard work to their performance as he proposes to give to his own. It seems President Arthur does not wish to embrrass his successor by making appointments now. A number of postmasters have sent in their resignations, so that their successors may be appointed before the beginning of the new adminis tration. President Arthur has re fused to accept them in order not to anticipate Mr. Cleveland's policy. In making the rounds of the various departments here I find that the chiefs of the offices are preparing to abdicate after the fourth of March. One of them re marked to me that he was busy arranging to turn things over to the new men. He said no new business was undertaken now; they were simply working with a view to closing out the old, so that their successors may not be burdened by matters left over. "Are we nob magnanimous?" added he. Representative Finnerty. the Irish American statesman and journalist, lost no time in publish ing his views of the injustice of that British invasion of the Soudan, which are likely to attract attention. Mr. Finnerty has had a diversified and remarkable military experience. He served in the cause of the bnion throughout the late war. was in Fenian warfare in Ireland, and in almo-t every Indian engagement of his time. He is the man who rescued the standard of Custer's regiment. The l'.iiti-h minister fioin Wash ington declines to rake precau'.ions to protect himself ar.d household Horn dynamite. lie says if anv 'iod contemplates blowing him up no amount n precaution could pre vent them. Mr. West has been convinced that police and detectives are inefficient protectors against the d vnam it e fiend .

FROM 1)K. 1)A1!NFA"'S KEl'JKT. 1 The special fe-ature of the work of the Fxperiment Station during I the last two years is the phosphate investigation, and the discovery of workable beds of this important material is the most signiiicant oc currence in the material develop- - ment of the State. The existence ot regular beds of phosphate, wliich :had been little more than rumored 1 before that time, was definitely de termined by the woik i f the officers of your Hoard dining 1-.; ;nid IsNb The Honorable Commissioner of Agriculture has stated some of the j results of i he phosphate survey in his report, audit will be uniieces ! sary to gie any details he:.-. The j report ot the Fbigineer and the .Chemist will be published m a lew . days. It is sullicieiit to record heie that numerous beds of phosphates I have been di-coveied in Sampson and Duplin counties, chietly be tween l-'aison's on the north. Iialls ville on the east. Wallace station on the south, and Clinton mi the west, being a teriitory abou' twentv miles square. 'Jutside of this ter ritory beds have been noted in Onslow. Jones, Craven. ' lender, New Hanover, Llailen. Columbus . and probably P.runsw ick. all of which need to be more thoroughly explored. Wo have examined seventy-one different localities in ; the Sampson-Duplin teriitory, mid. have found workable beds of phos-' nliates of a greater or less extent in : fifty-eight of these. Cndoubtedly : many beds exist in the same ten i-: tory which are not yet known. The average amount of phosphate of; lime in tweuty-live samples, from beds nearest the liue ol' the . mington and Weldon Ilailroad, was forty-one per cent. Phosphate1 rock of this character was success fully manufactured into superphos phate under the direction of the State Chemist, distributed over the j State last spring and tested by some ! of our leading farmers. Eleven hundredths of an acre yielded forty eight tons of clean rock at a cost of one hundred and sixty-five dollars ' tor excavation, hauling and loading on board the cars. I'rom a portion of this, 20 tons of acid phosphate were made and distributed to Dtb farmers, and reports from ."," of these farmers, which have been received,; are very favorable to the North Carolina superphate. These ex periments show beyond a doubt not only that we have good phos phates, but that they will produce results in the field equal to other1 phosphates. The rather hasty and! incomplete phosphate recounois- j ance ot the Sampson-Duplin terri-' tory, above mentioned, gives us the following totals: 1 Total number of acres accurately explored LM.bS; total number of pits dug 7b": total cubic feet ot earth excavated (!,710: total pounds of phosphate rock actually weighed 7o,41l."i; calculated average tons per acre 40(j.'J8; total tons of phosphate ' rock in the llM.'JS acres explored: 50,KG4.48, or Thin particular 124. !)S acrcx icill ; yield enough phoxphatc rock to wirt.Y-j all of the supcrphoxphatex sold in Xorth Carolina in one year. In : addition to the above we have ex plored extensive beds of phosphates and marls mixed together, occur ring in New Hanover and comities. This material tiied on various crops ! with encouraging results. lViiiler v. as abo last year This i ance aim ii . a deposit ol great impor merits a special explorati One hum aiiah .scs id i in l i ti liii ry-scvcll were made no-tini at the Siab.'ii for l ae re;.' ar l!n phare survey ami ihllT I u j-:u'i'-: :y owners.

I'UPPINHS. Neal Dow is now convinced that the enmity to prohibition comes from the moderate drinkers. Hard drinkers are all anxious for the closing of the grog shop as a relief from temptation. The canal across the Isthnus of Corinth, which baffled ee4-eral of the Roman Emperors, and was a favorite scheme of Julius Ca-sar's. is approach ing within a measurable distance of completion. An expert purchased the other day of an itinerant book peddler in London, t'ur six cents, a rare volume by Increase Mather, published in Boston in 109. the real volume of which is estimated at SCO It is stated that small candles, remark able for the purity and brilliancy of the light they give, are imported into Kurope from China, where tliey are mule from wax supplied by minute insects bred for that purpose' by the poorer class of Chinese. The "Washington monument has had strange visitors since its erection. A gaunt and hungry cat climbed to the top: five rats have made the ascent to : get the crumbs from the workingmen's j lunches: wasps build their nests and pigeons roost at night 434 feet above the I iiabitation of man. I Land rent is ruinously low in Hamp ton county. South Carolina, according to a Southern paper. Valuable land which rented for sS.Oa per acre last year lias been obtained for 35 cents, with few bidders. Some land rents will not pay the taxes upon the soil, and all because of the scarcity of labor. In sinking an artesian well at Savan nah clav w-us struck at a depth of 140 feet that yielded a large percentage of gold. Fine specimens of crystal quartz are brought up daily. A large lump of ore was found, about the siza of a hen's egg and containing fully 75 percent, of silver. It is claimed by Im Nature that the i Iiighest railroad viaduct in the world is that of the (iarabit Bridge, France. That remarkable structure is eighteen hundred feet long, and near the middle of the great central arch the distance from the bed of the river to the rail is four hundred and thirteen feet. To test the purity of water there has been found no better or simpler way than to fill a clean pint bottle three fourths full of the water to be tested, and dissolve in the water half a tea spoonful of the purest sugar loaf or granulated will answer cork the bottle, and place it in 'a warm place for two days. If in twenty-four to forty-eight hours the water becomes cloudy or milky it is unfit for domestic use. By means of a simple and conven iently worked device of coiled spring, an English inventor has succeeded in dispensing with the need of driving sewing machines by hand or foot: a few turns of a handle winds up sufficient power to keep a machine going at full speed over an hour. It is completely under control as to the rate of stitching and stopping, and can be applied to any existing machine at moderate cost. "Squire Cristler. of Banks county, (ia., was called upon the other night to join a couple together in the holy bonds of matrimony. Getting to the river, he found it impossible to cross. Deter mined not to be disappointed, he sum moned the couple to the water's edge on the other side of the stieam, and the license, tied to a stone, having been pitched over to him. a distance of some sixty yards, he proceeded to tie the knot at the top of his voice. The Vienna Skating Club has just had a great success w ith its fancy ball held on the ice by the light of twenty elec tric arc lamps, aud before an audience numbering over a thousand within the enclosure and several thousands beyond. The ice 4vas thronged with masqueraders of all kinds. About two hundred first rate skaters performed a pantomime, the scenes of which were formed by grottoes of ice and plants embellished with colossal icicles and frozen spray. A score of lady skatvrs personified nymphs and goddesses. A gorgeous procession, about half a mile in length, of cars, like those of the Italian carni vals, representing the seasons and other subjects, concluded the pantomime. The misplaceil lenity of French juries for the most ferocious criminals has re ceived one more illustration iu the small village of Broom, near Diuan.

After some roll calls, including a call of the house, on which the Republicans did not vote and fifty-six Democrats did, 1 Mr. Hamilton moved to proceed to elect I a United States Senator. Speaker Haines ; refusod to entertain a point of order ' that no quorum was present, and ordered the clerk to proceed with the roll call, which resulted as follows: Morrison j 4". Haines 1, Richard Hishop 1. Mr. , Morgan voted for Haines, on tbe ground that lie could not vote for a free-trader. ' Mr. Haines voted for Bishop. During i the roll-call the Republicans left the house. The Democrats voted to invite the senate to a joint session at noon and . then took a recess. The senaie met with ' seven Republicans and three Democrats j absent. The Republicans broke the 1 quorum, when senator Merrill moved to adjourn till 11:30, which was carried. When the senate re-convened the Demo crats tried to have the clerk of the house recognized, but the president ruled that he could recognize no one without a quorum. A few minutes before noon the Democrats arose in a body and marched over to tbe house. The re maining senators carried a motion to adjourn. When the senators and rep resentatives had assembled. Mr. Haines said as he understood the law it made no difference whether a quorum was present or not. The law was imperative that the vote should be taken. The roll call was reported, in the senate Mor rison 22, in the house Morrison 52 and Haines 1. Haines voted for Morrison. The Democrats applauded when Haines' vote was announced. Haines announced "no quorum and no election," and said that the balloting would be resumed at noon to-morrow. The senators then left. Chicago, Feb. 12. The Daily Xcus' Springfield, 111., special says: Republi cans of both houses to-day refused to recognize the action of the Democrats in the matter of voting for Senator. A fe4v members of each party are still ab sent, ibe morning hour in the House was idled away; Republicans making several ineffectual efforts to adjourn. At 12 o'olock the doorkeeper announced the attendance of the Senate, and 22 Democratic members of that body filed in and took their seats. When a vote for Senator was directed, only one vote was recorded; the Democrats fearing that the Republicans were there in greater force than seemed apparent, and could, if the Democrats had voted, ap pear and give their candidate a clear majority. An adjournment was then taken till to-morrow. Dover. N-.-H., --Feb. 9. (Jeorge H. Ricker. of Rochester, shipped to-day an old-fashioned arm-chair, manufactured in 1775, to President-elect Cleveland. It proved quite an attraction as it lay on the platform here awaiting the arrival of a train. Mr. Ricker is an old Jack sonian Democrat. Pittsburgh, Feb. 9. The publication of the designs and objects of the Anarch ists has occasioned much talk among members of the International Working men's Association, and they have tailed a "people's meeting" at Jefferson Hall in Alleghany City to-night, for the pur pose, according to the printed circular, of giving the opponents of socialism and anarchism an opportunity of controvert ing their position. FOREIGN NEWS. London, Feb. 10. A dispatch to Reuter's telegram company from Kube says: Colonels Wilson and Wortley, who were with the expedition to Khar toum, arrived here to-day. They made the journey from (iubat in four days. They brought news of (ten. Cordon s death. It was learned that one of the treacherous pachas among Cen. Gor don's forces marched the garrison to the side of the town nearest Omdura mau. saying that a rebel attack was ex pected at that point. In the meantime another treacherous pacha opened Un gates at the other side and allowed the Mahdi's troops to enter and they easily captured the to44'ii. Gen.
