The Khedive at first refused to eomply with the popular demand, but waa finally induced to yield. It would appear from this that Arabi Bey is again master of the situation, and that, while anarchy is for the time being averted at Cairo, the complexities of the case are increased rather than dinunisbed by this fiat rejection of the ultimatum of i ugland and France, the complete triumph of tho military party, the influence exerted by Germany, Russia, Austria and Italy, and the expected ap

Mr. Bandall then moved that the Honse adjourn to June 1. On that, Mr. Seed mado i point of order that on the proposition to amend the nih dilatory motions cannot bo entertained. Mr. F.nrjdnll denied tbo right of the Speaker to put, any such

construction on his motion. Mr. ileod proposed to discuss tbe point of order, and suggested a limit be put on that discmision. No agreement to that end, however, was made, and the Speaker said he would not male the limitation less than an hour on each side. Mr. Seed then opened the discussion. He claimed hurt the House had, under the constitution, cert ton powers expressly conferred npon it powers vhich it could exercise without lotor hindrance by any other body ; powers which it could not surrender, which it couU not trade away, which it must perform, end tbe first of these powers was to judge of the election returns and qualification of its own members. This House has been endeavoring during the last ten days to perform that duty, but had been prevented by dilatoiy motions. The best and most orderly way to pui; a stop to that course was to amend the rules, and that waa the object now. He maint ained the proposition that wherever there is a duty imposed upon Congress to accomplish a certain worli, it is the duty of the Speaker to carry ont that rule of law or of the constitution. He cited tho ruling of Speaker Bandall when there was fihhnstering against the ciejntion ef tbe Electoral Co'mt law, and when an obstruction was attempted, by Springer, to the effect that ho (the ohair) had allowed this, and had allowed that, and had allowed the other, in the way of metionii, but the House was now brought to a point whore it must act. Mr. Bead referred to tho decision by Mr. Blaine to the effect that, ponding a proposition to change tho rules, clilitory motions cannot be entertained. He closed by stating that the minority had no right further to delay the aefcon of tbe House. Bandall proceeded to reply to Mr. Iieod. He ad

mitted that the ruloa of a legislative body were first for the orderly condu.it of business, and next for the protection of tbe rights of the minority. In this latter point he quoted from the rulings of the Speakers of tbe English House of Commons. He argued that, just as tbe constitution prescribed the manner in which it should be intended, so the rules prescribed the manner in wliieh they should be changed. As to his own decision in the eleotoral-eount case, he S' nt it on the ground that the law under which le Houso was then acting was greater than the rules, and out of? dilatory motions. In the present cane, however, there was no law interfering with the rules. As to Mr. Blaine's ruling, or rather dictum, Mr. Bandall asserted that it had never been pressed, nor any advantage taken of it, but that, on the contrary, efforts had been mado on that occasion (when tho Civil Rights bill was under consideration) to snupend the rules so us to cut off dilatory motions, but without auocuss, so that, al lor Blaiuo's diotum, it had been conceded that only by a two-thirds vote could dilatory motions be cut off. In conclusion, ho jnstinoi the action of the minority iu this contested election. Messrs. Kssson, Carlisle, Haskell, Bllckimrn, Bobeson, Cox, Hooker, McLean, Bi-sgitu, Bandoll and Hazelton aired their views on the ifwio, conrnming three hours. Ths Speaker sustained Mr. H od s point of order. -Mr. r.ancall took an appeal, which was tabled by 15(1 to P. Mr. Cox presented a protest bv 100 Ihinocr.itia members. Tho report of the Committee on Utile was adopted by 160 to i Mr. Miller, of Pennsylvania, obtained the foor on the South Carolina contested-election caiie, when the Houso adjourned for the day. Immediately after the rending of the journal In the House, on tho SOth ult., Mr. Springer, of Illinois, objected to its approval as it omitted mention of two important motions made by him and ignored by tbe Speaker. Ii: proceeding with his argument he was called to order bv the Speaker. " I have the right to spMik," said Mr. Springer. " If I am not in ordc-r lot my remarks bo taken down. The Speaker in the cliaircan very well afford " Mr. Springer attempted amid excitemnnt and i!imfiioii to proei ml with his remark , but wjs lold peremptorily by tho Kpeniur that Ihe Horgeaut-at-AriiM would be directed to force bun, at least to deeist. Tbo Dime mil c mem -born gathered around Mr. Springer, giving bim aid and encouragement, while munv Xtojiublioan members wore also on their feet, protcHing angrily against Mr. Springer's course. Mr. Springer iufornicd the Siwakcr dotiautly that bo would not he taken from tlu floor. Mr. Humphreys" You can and will . I can do it myfccir." Langhter. Mr. Sprlogcr "It would take a larger pattern than you to do it" Continued laughter. The Spoakor"The chair can very well afford to allow the gentleman from Illinois to make improper remarks in so far as they apply to the chair alone, but it is quite another tliinjr whan tbe gentleman undertakes io destroy th e dignity of the House bv bis own conlnok" Mr. Springer 1 That has been already d wtroyod." "That is so." said Bead, ' by your side of ths House." The Sneaker "Anv proper motion that the gentleman may wish to make relating to correcting tho journal will be entertained by the chair and submittal f the House. The Journal Clerk, iu omitting motions that were not entertained proceeded exactly in accordance with tho rule." Mr. Knott claimed that the Speaker had made a mistake in refusing to entertain a legitimate motion. A proposition to corioot tho 'ournal was lost by 69 to 131. Mr. Miller then argued

for two hours in support of tho report of the Elections Committee on the South Carolina contested-seat ease, and exhibited tickets used in the elections in that State. The discussion waa oontinued by Mr. Davis, of Missouri, against the report, and by Mr. Paul, of Virginia, in favor of tho rcort. At the conclusion of Mr. Pan"s speech Mr. Calkins inquired whether, if an evening session were dispensed with, and Iho House now adjourned, the discussion would bo resumed to-morrow without any obstruction from tho Democrat! . side. Tho answer came back resolutely from Messrs. Morrimn. Atkitw, Itandall and other Demoeratio nviaibers, that no agreement whatever would be made. Mr. Calkins then gave notice that he would call the previous question on the eonUvled. election cns at 5 oVInck lli.i following iriiy. A rreoas io 8 Vlork was taken, ut which h jur Mr. Athoilon moved to ndjoniD to morning. A cliun that no qti irn ii was present caused a call of t!teIlo:i-ie, win h eoustnued two hours.

Workingmen and ITar. ' War Is hehV'-Gtnsrai Msmm It is not many years since Sumner, standing in Boston on the Fourth of July, in one of the finest orations on record, announced the dictrine of peace: that arbitration should take the place of war. The idea then seemed novel, and people derided it as visionary and impractical. Binoe then many cruel wars have desolated the earth, and the traad of hostile armies have shaken miiny couu tries. Europe and America have trembled under the roar of cannon. S till the idea of peace has been spreading. Statesm en, philanthropists and philosophers havo welcomed it and deprecated the spirit of war. The parties who inaugurate war have always depended upon the worlriuginen to fail in and fill up the ranks. It is ono of the bright omens of tlie day to see that this class is no longer in favor of barbarous var. No ola&i Buffer more at its hands, yet war always confidently counts upon tho workiugmen to fall into its ranks when it blows the fife and .beats the drum. War always comes to desolate the ho lies of these people. They have accepted si as a kind of unavoidable necessity something that had to be done. Iis.bor troubles have been pressing upon the laborers until they have had little time for other considerations. They tave been trying to take from oppressive laws

the stings which have wounded them. Now the laborers see that one of the great disturbers of their peace and prosperity havo been the wars which have called them from their peaceful pursuits and disturbed their industrial prosperity. Now they see that war is a wrong, barbarous and cruel thing, and they propose to throw all their influence against wars. At the great Trades' Union Congress, recently held in Loudon, the

President, . speaking for the Congress, after alluding to the obstacles w'aioli press upon industry, said ; "First cf ail

there are the artificial laws which haaiper

nidus try. and of these none aro iaore

imjiortant than those relating to tho land. After what has been passed this session in regard to Ireland, we can. not

be silent npon the subject in reter suce to England and Scotland. Next, the most important of all, is ihe queiition whether we are going again to tolerate this country waging war against e ther people for the sake of increasing or perpetuating an empire? What interest

have wo, workmen, what interest have

the people ef England in carrying on war for the sake of empire ? If ou r position as workmen is one of independence, we ought to recommend the independence of other workmen and of other nations. It is not merely that these wars do untold misery to the poor and to the working classes by tbe actual misery they cause, by increasing the iistabiiity of industry and employment, w hich Is unstable enough without any addition, but these wars are profoundly demoralizing to the country engaged in them, and are crimes of the worst kind." These sentiments were warmly cheered by the congress of workiugmen. When the men who work and the men who tif;ht iu the ranks make np their minds that they will no more go out to the wars to be butchered and shot down like bogs, peace will be possible. We gladly hail this movement of the workiugmen in England. Will the workingmea of America imitate them, and oppose all projects looking towards unjust vrars? The men who form the great body ot the armies of the world must assert themselves against the barbarisms of war. They must come out aud fight down tlie ambitions of generals, diplomats and rulers, who are ever ready to plunge a nation into war for some paltry object. The lust of ambition, the greed of pDwei, the desire for fame, anger or revenue are usually the unholy motives which bring wtirs and all their calamities open the people. The wortingmen of England have done wisely ia protesting against war. Indianapolis Heiald. Hunting r?M Turkeys. "London Times. In some sections of Pennsylvania the wild tin keys are found in great abundance. Along the borders of the Blue Mountains, in bchuylkili. County, is a favorite region, A correspondent oi an Eastern journal says: The mode of hunting wild turkeys adopted by these Blue Moontoon hunters is to "corn" a suitable part of tho woocts frequented by the birds general ly in old clearings. Corning is simply the scattering of corn cn the ground and making choice feeding-places that tLe turkeys, which fly in tioeijj, are not long in discovering. VV'hen a hunter discovers the presence of a flock in his 'Held'' he corns it, and generally feels certain that in time he will havo every one ol the turkeys bagged. When this clearing is scattered with the corn the hunter takes a position in it from which ho haa a view of the feeding-plat :e, but where he cannot be seen by the birds. The turkeys drop into tho clearin ; with a gieat flutter said much gobbling by the mules. The hunter picks out tin bird he wishes to susure on the ground, and another at which he will shoot when they rise. He shoots the one on the giound and tlie other in the air. Large eliot is used, and heavy charges of powdvr, as the leathers of the game are very close, and the skin tough. A iikiUful hunter rarely tails to bring down his two birds, but a novice usually sees both take wing without any apparent damage from his charges. It is almost useleae tc try to got a shot at a flock of turkeys by flushing them, aa then' hearing and sight u.ra fr-Hwmij acute, and a flock always gets up aud removes itself from harm's way long beforo the hunter is within gun-shot. But while so wily in tbat retipeot they lack all sembl anco ot shrewduess in visiting the "corned"

places. No matter how large a flock ia,

it will continue being reduced

beta by regularly visiting the place iu the morning where it was shot at the evening beiore, and in the evening after having been shot into in the morning. This is kept up until only oiie bird comes to feed where all its companions were killed. Some tames, when i pair ol turkeys remains, the two will join an

other flock, and accompany it to tlu feeding-pkee it had selected. Then are many pot hunter among the Blue Mountain people, who trap, snare, and net the turkey, and the legitimat a sportsmen destroy scores of their traps aud nets every season. Hawks ai d foxes destroy many turkeys. The hswks are of an immense sine, some that htive been killed measuring six feet from tip to tip, Wild turkeys weigh from eight to twenty pounds, and large numbers are sent from the Blue Mountain region to the New York and Philadelphia markets. Sportsmen from tho cities visit the region every season, and spend weeks at the cabins of the lootu hunters, who serve an guitles to the hunting grounds. The shooting has not been as good I his season as formerly, and in a few yearns more the wild turkey will, no doubt, be extiuct in Pennsylvania.

Bishop Warren gives Una vivid dear cription of the great cave : One's general idea of a cave is that of on open space under ground, or in tt mountain side. Mammoth Cave is made up of passages, avenues, and tortuous crooks rather than of vast open spaces. You can take the short route (seven miles,) to be done in two hours, the long (sixteen miles,) to be done in fonr, the combined, to be done in from five to twelve or more. We chose the combined. There lire avenues down which on., could drive a coach and fonr if fairly cleared np on the floor. There are places 'that are mere cracks, jnstiv named " fat man's misery," "tall man's abasement," and "corkscrews." Here is the Biver Styx, Lake Lethe and Echo Biver, rnnning under an arch so low that a little rise in the watr renders passage impossible. Sometimes it rises unexpectedly and leaves parties in the eark beyond the arches unable to return til) the water subsides. I saw the eyelesa fish of these dark rivers ; their principal nse in this world being to serve Dr. Bushnell for an illustration iu his sermon on ""extirpation of unused faculties." Here" and there amid these long pas sages are open spaces called " domes," where the water-carved rock rises ninety, or a hundred, or a hundred and thirty feet frAtu the floor. When these places aire lighted up by the brilliant Bengal lights they are both weird and grand. The variety of formations in the cave surpasses anything I have over witnessed. In most eaves the stalactite and stalagmite systems are easily understood, but the lower ends are delicately grooved in various directions, by whet process it is impossible to imagine. In- ... -1 i i , -1 . j,

texnuugieu wmi tuese uuw-ukh iigurem are variously sia 'ti guttie, as delicately out as those ef the Greeks on the Parthenon. In some parts of the cave the gypsum has oystnilizetl into snow-balls that glitter over the whole roof ; in other places there are delicate flowers, some eight inches in diameter. The stalactite pillai s are comparatively few, bnt exceedingly curious. In one place half a dozen form a .kind of bower in which fonr couples have been married. The first bride had promised her mother not to be married while she lived on earth. A very foolish promise, and this was her way to keep it, and also get married.

k Persistent Spectxe. While the subject of ghoctaw attract

ing attention, I will offer a nut for oar scientists to crack. For obviousreasons I am compelled to omit the names. The wife of one of our most distinguished scientific men I use the term "meet distinguished" advisedly, ainco the reputation of the man in question is cosmopolitan saw nightly an old man seated in an arm-chair near the fireplace in her bedroom. Being thoroughly imbued

n num- iith her husband s views upon scientific

subjects, ishe held her peace, and tried, with partial success, to convince herself that it was a delusion.

Somewhat later this room was con

verted into a nursery, and ultimately in. to a spare bedroom, with the result that each successive occupant, juvenile or of mature y ars, described the curious old man who same and sat by the fire. My scientific friend has "pished" and

"psaawed" at these statements, and has treated ths whole matter as ridiculous. He has, however, been compelled to concedoeiimething to the vision or the delusion, and to quit the house, I simply advanoe this as a fact, and leave to cthera Uia task of explanation. Vaccine Virus.

Too mass is c impressed to give it the nscestrantptrtation; th fragments of tho sary strength to resist the shocks of cake as they come liom the wheel-mill aro broken down under rollers, and then spread ou t into layers about four incites thick, and separated by brass plates: these brought under a powsrfnl hydraulic press, which compresses the layers to a thickne-ts of an inch. For the purpose of increasing and regulating tlie combustion, graining follows, which consists if breaking np the comptMBed coke into small fragments or grains; then tiie grains are rolled in a baiTt l for a certain length of time, and this ojKsrs tion is -sailed glazing.
