WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—A heated parley of words took place in the Senate Monday between Senators Conkling and Butler. It was occassioned by a spcech made by Butler, in which he made a personal attack upon Mr. Conkling by refering in insulting terms to the speeches made by Conkling during the campaign. Butler spoke of Conkling as being a "charlatan," "malcontent" and called him a "political highwayman." Conkling paid but little attention to the attack, but when the speech was finished arose and said, he did not understand Butler's speech but judgiDg from such portions of the Senators remarks which he had been able to hear, the point of the address was an attack upon himself. He then began his side of the battle, and a regular war of words followed. The few remarks exchanged by these gentlemen have been the absorbing topic of conversation at tho Capital, and the subject of consid erable speculation as to their future out come. It is understood, to-night, that the New York Senator will reply to Mr. Butler Thursday, after the electoral count.

In early childhood, however, Mr. G. said that the darkness was in a few instances broken by faint glimmerings of light. Of four children, he and his sister were blind, the others could see. The sister, though at first possessed of ordinaiy vision, soon by a mysterious change, became wholly deprived of eight.

Anecdote of Dr. N'ott.

On an evening many years ago, two students left the college, with the most foul intent of procuring some of the doctor's fine fat chickens, that roosted in a tree adjoining the house. When they arrived at the spot one ascended the tree, while the other stood with the bag ready to receive the plunder. It'so happened that the doctor himself had just left his house, with the view of securing the same chickens for his Thanksgiving dinner. The rogue under the tree-bearing some one approaching, immediately crept away without notifying his companion among the branches. The doctor came up silently, and was immediately saluted from above as follows: "Are you ready T' "Yes," responded the doctor, dissembling his voice as much as possible. The other immediately laying hands on the old rooster, exclaimed, '-Here's old Prex—will ysu have him Y' "Pass him along," was the reply, and he was soon in the doctor's bag. "Here's Mann Prex, said the all unconscious student, grabbing a fine old hen "will you have her?" "Yes," again responded the doctor. "Here's son John—will you have him ??J "Here's daughter 8al—take her and so on until he had gone regularly through the doctor1! family and chickens.

Hie od man then walked off in one direction with the plunder, while the student, well satisfied with his night's work, came down and streaked it for the college. Great was his astonishment to learn from bis companion that he had not got any chickens, and if he gave them to any one it most have beat to Dr. Nott. Expulsons, fines and disgrace were uppermost in their thoughts until the next forenoon, when both received a polite invitation from the President, requesting the presence of their company to a Thanksgiving dinner. To decline was impossible, so with hearts fhll of anxiety for the result they wended thefr way to the house, where tl»*y were pleasantly received by the old gentleman and with a large party, were soon seated around the festive board. After asking a biasing, the doctor rose from his seat, and taking tie carving-knife, turned with a smile to the rogues and said,

uY rang,

Once upon a time, the couversatjpn having turned, in presence of Dr. Frankan, upon riches, and a young person in the company having expressed his surprise that they ever should be attended with such anxiety and solicitude, inztanoiug one of his acquaintances, who, though in possession of unbounded wealth, yet was aa busy and more anxious than the most assiduous clerk in his counting-house the doctor took an apple from a fruit-basket and presented it to a little child, who oould just totter about the room. The ohiM couio, scarcely grasp it in its hand. He then save it another which occupied the other hand. Then choosing a third, ivunarkable in size and beauty, he presented that also. The child, after many ineffectual attempts to hold the dropped the last one on the carpet, a burst into tears.

Tremendous Power of Sea Wares. The tremendous force of the ocean waves has been illustrated at Wick, on tlie extreme Northern coast of Scotland, where a breakwater has been building for some years past. It may give an idea of what is meant by wave-power. It was found that stones of ten tons weight were as pebbles to the wavef wliich have been measured to be there forty-two feet from crest to the bottom of the trough. The outer end of the break-water, where the stonns beat mpst violently was built of three courseafof one-lmndred-ton stones laid on the rubble foundations next above these were three courses of large flat stones, and upon these a mass of concrete buiit on the spot, of cement and rubble. The end of the break-water was thought to be as immovable as the natural rock, yet the resident engineer saw it yield to the force of the waves and swing around into the less-jtroubled wivter inside the pier. It gave away not in fragments, but in one mass, as if it was a monolith. The displaced mass is estitna^ed to weigh about 1,850 tons.

*:V HbAm 9f ike Ffsh Ponds. The fecundity of fish is something wonderful. The German naturalist, Gesner, counted 205,000 eggs in a single female perch. No nation seems to have compreueuded the capacity of their waters to produce hitman food so much as the Chinese, who have cultivated theiir fish as a regular crop for 2,000 years. Even' acre ef living water is capable of being far more productive and profitable, and contributes more the support of mankind than an acre of the best land in the world. When once fairly stocked, the acre of wate. requires no attention whatever, except to prevent thieves from robbing it, and destroying all finny occupants, till it again becomes barren and worthless. In Europe, attention is now called to this matter far more than it ever was before. There is no reason whatever whv this should not be the case in tliis country. In stocking ponds with fish, duck, geese and other aquatic fowls should be kept out of them, and the growth of vegetable matter in the water should be encouraged in every possiblo way. [}•,

Tabby's Curiosity Satisfied. The Virginia Nev. JEnterpriee tells thk affecting story: "Charles Kaiser, who has the only hive of bees in town, says that when he first got his swarm his old cat's curiosity was much excited in regard to the doings of the little insects, the like of which she had never before seen. At first she watched' their comings and goings at a distance. She then flattened herself upon the ground and crept along toward tne hive with tail horizontal and quivering. It was clearly evident that sne thought the bees some new kind of game. Finally she took up a position at the entrance to the hive, and when a bee came in or started out, made a dab at it with her paws. This went on for a time without attracting the special attention of the inhabitants of the hive. Presently, however, "old tabby" struck and crushed a bee on the edge of the opening to the hive. The smell of the crushed bee alarmed and enraged the whole swarm. Bees by the score poured forth and darted into the fur of the astonished cat. Tabby rotted herself in the grass, spitting, sputtering, bitiug, clawing and squalling as cat never aqua'leu before. She appeared a mere ball of fur and bees as she rolled and tumbled about. She was at length liauled away from the hive with a garden rake, at the cost of several severe stings to her rescuer. Even after she had oeen taken to a distant part of the grounds the beee stack in Tabby's fur, and about once in two minutes she would utter an unearthly 'yowl' and bounce a full yard in the sir.
