Mr. MeiVTOSH offered ft rMolntK.n directing the Committee on bwamp Land and Urains to ppare and iatrodace a bill to reIl nct oncernlng drain vze, approved Arril s, Mr.CAMl'P.I'M., of Kt. Joseph: 1 hope that thb resolution will not paw. It proposes to uive aa expression of thisHanate npcn tbe Circuit Court drainage law. The c zrerience in our part of the State is that thi :s the most effective and the most economical drainage law that we have ever had. I nder its provision economical and elective work has been done, and I nave re&tcn U; suppose that in both of the counties that I represent, as well as In all (cuntlea where drainage li desirable, It would be regarded aa a great calamity If this law were repealed. In my counties I understand it has steadily grown in favor. We have had aole and judicious commissioners, and if all rocuties will see that they have ueb, I tLlnk oppos.tion to the bill will itate. air. SELLERS did rot think this resohtt'on sbonlri bm passed. Eo important a matter ibculd net be considered in the absence cf so many Senators, ife moved it be made a erfCial order for - o'clock Thursday. The motion was agreed to. 0T5TY OFriCEP.V TERMS. The joint resolution U. R. 1 proposing an amendment to the State Constitution by i daring that County Clerks, Auditors, Treasure?, Sheriffs, Coroners, and Surveyors it all be e.ected for a term of four years and lipiMe to but four years in a term of eight 3 1 are, coming up vith a committee amendient that the terms of such officers shall commence on the trat day of January after tPelrelectloo, and excepUne Surveyors Irom the restriction 3Jr. CAMFUELL. of Hendricks: Tbe comir.ittee thought bett to exceps Surveyors Irom the restrictions of a four year term because in many counties thre is a difficulty in obtaining ocd and well rjualitied Surveyors. ilr. CAMPBELL, of rit. Joseph, contd tx eo reason why Clerks, Treasurers and Sheriffs should nt,w hold office four yean the rarce as Auditors, iUcordeis, and perhaps ethers. Neither coald he conceive why the simple fact of a man having had such an of Üce for fonr years should be a reasonand tbeurly reason to ureclnde such an one from holding that cilice another four years if the people so desire. If this resolution meet pa;a as it is tbe proposed amendment excluding the Surveyor from re-election is desirable. He moved to amend by striking out the restriction against re-election. Mr. rOULKE opposed this amendment. Wherever there is an ciUce elected at st.ited terms the motive to secure a re election at all hazards hould be removed. Mr. WINTER: Such an amendment would be in contravention of a constitutional restriction tbat these officers shall not serve mere than eight years in a term of twelve, Mr. CAMPBELL, of Hndricks, thought tbe constitutional restrict "i a mere cue to prevent scheming for re-el aou. The amendment i Mr. Campbell') was rsjfcted. Mr. MACY offered an amendment that appointees shall hold only till the January next succeeding a general election. It was agreed to. Mr. SELLERS moved to exempt from this proposed prohibition the Clerk as well as the Purveyor. Ther is as much difficulty in finding emV lent Clerks as well as Surveyors. Mr. FAULKNER opposed that amendment. The object of the resolution is to prevent office-holders Irom using their offices to secure a re election. They can so manipulate things aa to re-elect themselves whether the peopie want them or not. The amendment was rejected. The committee amendments were adopted. The joint resolution was ordered engrossed. jrnitiAL CIRCUITS. Mr. FOWLER called up the special order, being his resolution offered Saturday afternoon. He said: There seems tobe an im perative necessity for some such action a this. He hoped the resolution would pass, but would not detain the Senate by advo eating it. Mr. WINTER moved to amend the resolution by inserting after the word "State" these words: "And providing for grading tbe salaries of the Judges according to the population of the circuits and the services required." The amendment was agreed to. The resolution as amended was adopted. AFTERNOON SESSION. SIFRXME COURT I.ERK PUTIES. Mr. Macy'a bill 8. SO to amend Sections .'2ö and5,S')0 of tne code, coming up as a trecial order for this hour, Mr. M explained ita provisions. It proposes, among other thint;?, to increase the bond of the Clerks, which is ridiculously small, from ?-000 to 10,CC0. Mr. CAMPBELL, of Hendricks, read the statute governing the Clerks of the Circuit Courts in the keeping of amounts of moneys received for fees. If this is a good law for Clerks of Circuit Courts it would be a good law for Clerks of tbe Supreme Court,!wüich this bill proposes. This bill ought to pass because the law should apply to Clerks of koth courts. E!3 Mr. BAILEY thought this bill of sufficient importance to demand the attention ot every Senator. It is a vic.ous and unfair measure. It proposes to throw open to the pubHe the office of the Supreme Court, when Clerks und Sheriffs of counties are the only parties interested. It would open to the public the becks of the Clerk, so that all classes cf ferrets and shysters can go in that offi:e and run down any fees that may be lying there uncalled for. A man living in Randolph County has a power of attorney from v00 men, authorizing him to go into the Supreme Court Clerks office ana collect such e8. if any, aa may be due them. There is co reason for the parage of a law to make tbe Clerk or his deputy a criminal, if he fhcuid refuse to drop his business at any time to allow a ferret to come in and overhaul his books. Then, to make the record proposed in this law would cost this Clerk eeveral thousand dollars. We ought not to lass a law simply to give power to one man to reap a rich harvest. He moved to indefinitely rottpone the bill. Mr. WINTER did not know till this bill came up there was such a weak place in tha law as to allow a public officer to rcme into possession and c'aim a? individual property certain fees, and carry them away upon goirg out of office. This bill proposes to cure this defect. Then there Li no law requiring tbe Clerk cf the Supreme Court to keep a rccid cf fees paid in. The books ought to fce a public record. Mr. ilcINTOSH stated that every member of tte committee who considered this bill as in favor of its passage. He hoped the bill will not be indefinitely postponed. Mr. SELLERS thought the bill 8. 12.' Jfhich if nmres ;he Ce; of ti;e Supreme

Court to keep a public record In which will te kept a register of tbe fen. and tnr.i ttem overto his successor. Ls sufficient legislation in this direction. II favored ths indefinite postponement of this bill. Mr. SMITH, of Jenningt. understood this bill to bo In the interest of a job or a class of fellows who are in a close co operation to ferret out some dead fees in the office of the Supreme Court Clerk. In all courts, under the present machinery, any citizen can Ret his fees without employing a ferret. Tnere are no fees belonging to anybody except two classes thote paid in for transcript of record, acd whpr a writ issues from the Supreme Court to the Shexitl'of any county and the Sherin n-ake the service. The Sheriff in the court below keeps a record cf his own cost, and don not Led a ferret, Tbis b: 11 proposes to make the Clerk goto the expense of ",00o j make a record, going back so many years, In orJer that some fellow may lind out how much the Clerk of the Supreme Court makes out of his office. The present statu'e covers all that should be required of this or any other public officer in this iesp'cr. The presumption is tbat every efficer periorms his ;Qt;ci until the contrary Is made to appear. We should not cast it preach upon them. Mr. WILLAKD: The Clerk of the Snpreme Court has no collection of costs, but the Sheriff, who is a responsible officer, lüinga bond in a larpe sum. The Senator from Jennings has shown the law, as at present, is ample. This bill seems to bs the offspring ot a desire on the part of the Republicans to

cut down and absolutely ruin every office in Indiana, steing they are barred out for a long time. Another purpone has been referred to that of debating some attorney ; who wants to go ncsing around that office as a ferret. He moved the previous question. The demand was not seconded by the k Mr. FOULKE: This bill contemplates the keeping of a record Lorn and after its passage only. It will cost nothing for the Clerk of tne Supreme Court to open his 1'Goks. Fair dealing is not afraid of the day r-bt. The people of the State should know how much any public officer obtains by the way ol fee? or otherwise compensation. , The Clerk of the Supreme Court will not let it be known what tees are in his possession. There is no danger of a bill which simply provides that the books of the Clerk of the Supreme Court ehall be thrown open. There is no valid reaion why these recoids Bhould not be made the public property of every citizen in the State. Mr. FOWLER: This bill has been misrepresented or misunderstood. If this bill is in the interest of a job he favored tbe job. He could see no job in it, howeve. Every man who assists in the support of a public office or public officer should have the privilege of examinicg the records of such office. This bill mly requires the keeping of a record cf fees after its passage. It is a good bill and ought to pats. Mr. MAUKE had but just reRd the bill, but eaw nothing wrong in it. The Clerk is not here resisting thi hill nor asking friends to. He was for the bill with propsr restrictions. Mr. Macy understands the Clerk now keeps just such a record as tbe bill requires. Mr. BAILEY withdrew his motion to indefinitely postpone. On motion by Mr. MAQEE, the bill wai referred to a special committee of three with instruction8 .to report to morrow at p. m. irp.rua iw'Ivekmtv Arrr.orKiATiov. On motion by Mr. JOHNSON, of TipDecanoe, tbe bill tl. R. 15 see page 113 to appriate $10,000 to Purdue University, was read the third time. He was physically unable to raise his voice in such a manner as iie desired in favor of this bill. He Dai not the strength to go into the details of the present management, but spoke a few words in favor of the immediate passage of tne bill. The bill finally passed the Senate by yess 31, najs fi. Mr. CAMPBELL, in explanation, said: I have persistently opposed the establishment of a college of that kind at the expense of the people of the State, as going beyond the limit of education by taxation ; and. having voted against the original bill creating this university, I now vote "no." Mr. FOULKE, in explanation of his vote, said: I was recently at Purdue University, and made a thorough inspection of this college with one or more of the professors. I am satisfied it is doing a great and a good work, therefore I vote "aye." Mr. FOWLER, when hia tame was called, said: In explanation of my vote I want to read an extract from a speech ot a Senator on this floor two years ago. He lives in, the neighborhood of this university, and I read it in explanation of my vote. Reads Mr. Magee's remarks, botlom of firat column, page l'17, Brevier Reports, volume XXI. J On that information I vote "no." Mr. THOMPSON said: I am pleased with a great many of the benevolent institutions of this State, but I have visited none tbat gave me such an exalted idea of the proper mode of instruction as Purdue University did. It draws the student from bis bookS 8ufficiently to give him practical Idea3 of life, and at the same time turns him out scientific pentleman. I saw perhaps fift--young ladies carving wood opening ou avenues to ladies, and giving them not only a scientific, but a mechanical education. vote "aye." The vote was then announced as above, and then the Senate ad journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, Feb. l3t 18852 p. m. SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT:. Mr. Plewant's bill H. R. 01 concerning the duties of County Superintendents, coming up on the second readingMr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: I believe this is the bill said to render Couuty Superintendents more efficient; however, I mo vj tnat the bill be indefinitely postponed. Mr. PLEASANTS: The bill will rectify a gross imposition practiced by County Superintendents. By its provisions, instead of a County Superintendent continually visiting schools as he may please, in order to put in time and draw his salary, such visits are put into the hands of and curtailed iy Township Trustees. A great many schools need no visiting at all. Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: There are two reasons, especially, why this bill shonld not pasa. It provides that the County Superintendent shall ylsit every school a half day of each year. Taking my county as sample, you would be compelled to extend the calendar to provide for it. You might as well strike down our whole school system as to bind it as this bill will do. Mr. LOYI): County Superintendents ars allowed by law ?4 per day for days actully employed, but all of them draw fall compensation for every working day in the year. The Superintendent in our county draws per annum l,3C0, and the school has only a rive-months terns per year. These salaries keep increasing. It is not, I say, the fault of the County Superintendents that they draw a salary for every working day in the year, but tbe fault ol the law. Mr. CORY: This is a very important question and should be looked at calmly and acted upon deliberately. The bill is a proposition to strike out of existence the office of County Superintendent virtually, J say, to destroy jt. Tfcs bill proyidea tha;

Connty Superintendent shall !stt school only when invited by Townshio Trustees. Now, mar.y of the Townthlp Trustees are arrayed a?aiDt the effi of Cmnty SuperInteudent, and they would net permit such officers to visit the achoola under their iuris diction. The gentlemen of this House ahoald look well before they strike this fatal blow at our Public School system. Tnough there may be but five months school term in a jear, jet tbe Snperinter (tent has other dQties. and many of them, to perioral. He has ttioe duties tt.it the law provides nothing more, nothing less. This effort to stab our school eyitem ibocld be driven from this hall at ence. Mr. BUOWNISC: I sin. erely hope that the motion to indefinitely postpone the bill v. 11 prevail. Last week some on the tljor of this Houie contended that the Township Trmtffs were not competent to elect the County School Fuperintendentatliat they ihouUi be selected by the S! tte Board of Education. Now they cou.e at us with the I roposltion to have these Trustees stand ovtc and guard the Superintendents. If you want to repeal the law and destroy the o:lice ccme out boldly and lay bo. Mr. PATTEN: Mbeideaof a maa standing on the tlcor of this House and talking abent stabbing our public school system is humbug. It certainly is not the intention of the Jaw-makera or t tie taxpayers to have this law to create an offi e for somebody. Tbe lavs are to advance tbe education of the children. Twehe years aco we got along well enough with the plain School Examiner. Now we have Boards of Education, Truttees. and a County School Superintendent. And this Superintendent rides aroucd and draws his il per day for riding in hia bugy or a sleigh. Gentle men, it is robbery nothing less. The rirh can teud their children to graded scboo's, but the poor most Le content with the public schools. And would it not be better for this money this $1 per dayto be expended in another direction? Apply it where it will benefit the children; give them nine months school in the year instead of five month!. The County Superintendents of this State cost on an average of f 1200 each. Mr. MOODY: I have the figures to show hat the averaeo is not 400 each per year. Mr. PATIENT: Even that is too much lor the good they do. Mr, CORY; Does the gentleman know that the Cor aty Superintendent is not paid out of tht . iitioa fund, and therefore the money pau heD- could not be used in extending or 1 -ngthning the terms of school .' Mr. PATTJ::; : I know that, but it comes oft the tax-ridden people all the same. Regard tbe people at home a tittle more. Keep the money at home and give your children the benefit of it. No County Superintendent has a right to call upon a school at the rate ot $1 per day, unless his distinguished pretence is needed there. AH there is to it is, it is an office for some man. Mr. FRENCH: When the gentleman from Sullivan (Mr. Patten ) throws out such insinuations concerning the office of County Superintendent, he throws the insinuations at the opinions of such men as Milton B. Hopkins, John M. Bloss, James H. Smart and other distinguished educators. The County Superintendent is as needful now as

ever, tils enemies have come here ever since the office was established to tight it, but they have been defeated every time and will be this time. If any man does not wish to trust the County Superintendent as to the amount of labor be performs, le, him go home and call on the County Commusioners of his county. They audit the bills of the Suoerintendent and allow them. Section 4(12: of the code says what the duties of the Superintendent are, and the law further eaysthat the Commis&ionen shall state tbe number of days or the limit of the Superintendent's labors. Under this bill political differences between the Superintendent and a Township Trnstea might prevent the Superintendent from at anytime paying an official Visit to a township. To put the Superintend in the handa of the Trustees as this bill propose is to destroy the office. Mr. WILLIAMS made an ineffectual motion jeaa 35, nays 33 to lay on the table the motion to indefinitely postpone. The motion to postpone was agreed to by yeaa Z' nays 35. teachers' institutes. Mr. Staley's bill :H. R. 121 to provide a fund for tbe holding of teachers' institutes, coming ud on the second reading Mr. PLEA8ANTS: I more to strikeout the enacting clause. Mr. STALEY: I sincerely hope this motion will not prevail. The bill proposes that the sum of 0 shall be furnished to the Connty Superintendent by the county for the purpose of assisting in paying the expenses of an institute which shall be at least a five days' session, and further that a very small fee shall be charged the applicants for teachers' license who apply for examination for such license, the same to be put into a fund which shall be held to pay institute expenses. These institutes should and will, if tven an opportunity, last about two weeks. The cost for a session like this is about $150 in anything like a good institute. A Superintendent is not going to hold an institute and bear tbe expense himself for fun. As it is now, with these examinations free, a large number attend Saturday after Saturday, costing the county a large sum of money, for the examination or grading of their papers takes the time of the Superintendent at t per day. Applicants appear ajiain ano again for merely the trial not expecting to teach. A small charge for examination will have a tendency to decrease the number of applicants, lessen the work and the expens of the Superintendent's office, besides creating a swelling fund for the payment of institute expenses. Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: In the first place the bill aims to lessen the expenses of County Superintendents by taxing those who apply only for fun or mere trial. Tneee take as much time as anv. Instead of Tippecanoe Couaty having 000 applicants a year It will have no more than 100. Mr. FLEASANT3: My objection to the bill is that the proposed plan to raise an institute fund does not lessen the per day salary of the County Saperintendent. He mipht continue the institute on an a on, in order to draw his per diem. Mr. SMITH: He would hardly do that, when if he were disposed to draw $1 for every day, he might, instead of doing the hard work of an institute, go on a visit to some small school. Mr. LOYI): I would like to aak the author of the bill this: Djes the bill in any way increase the per diem of the County Saperintendent? Mr. STALEY: Not in the least. It is to provide an institute for the teachers that's all. Mr. FRENCH: I do not favor the proposition in the bill to tax teachers for a library to be held by the County Superintendent. I prefer to invest my money in books to go cn my home shelf, and not invest in one twenty or thirty miles away where it would do me no good. The bill should be amended as to that. On motion by Mr. STALEY. the bill was recommended to the Committee on Education. The Hcuse adjourned. Real Eetate Transfers.

The only goose ranch that is, a farm devoted to the breeding nudcareof geese in this country is owned aad operated by Philadelphians The fa-n is loited on the eastern shore of Virginia, and covers nearly 3.U-0 acrci, over which the feathered occupants nre free to roam. In England there are a number of eucU farms, some o! them having ai high as 1,000 geese. Tne American one is of mU'-h larger proportions, at its tlc number in tbe neighborhood of .,00 birds. In certain textile branches of trade tbe down and feathers ot geese are the main ra materials. The manufacture of tine quilts and the preparation ot certain artic'ei of dreai utilize the down, and in cheaper grades of goods the younger and softer feathers ars nsed in the way of adulteration. Toe large and strong feathers of the tails and wings go mainly into the quill pens used by professional engrossers, lawyers, clergymen, an thors and others. These are too tough for P'PChSSC In toe textile proluctions mentioned above. The American farm is devoted exclusively to producing the raw materials needed for the lino down quilts. Several species of geese are bred, all of them being, however, of American lineage. The largest specimens are the swan ge?se, and the plumage of all is of snowy Avhitentss. The birds are regularly fed with corn and other grains, and are given the utmost freedom consistent with the prevention of straying and loba. In consequence men are employed as herdera to keep a watchful eye on their charges. Sheds for shelter are provided in case of inclement or especially severe weather, but the birds rarely Ute them. About every six weeks the plucking takes place. Only the breast and portions of the sides are touched, the feathers of the back, the wings and the tail being left intact. It requires nearly 100 average geese to furnish a pound of down, though the smaller feathers, which are also taken, weigh much heavier. These feathers, however, form an entirely separate grade of product from the valuable down. The average life of a goose is said to be about forty years, and they produce from six to ten eggs per annum, a large proportion of which are hatched. A bird hatched in February is in condition for plucking the following August, andeo on thereafter every six or eight weeks. The feathers are packed in sacks and sent to the Philadelphia factory, where they are trimmed, washed, steamed and otherwise prepared for their ultimate uses. In adulterating the rlutfy down for the cheaper grades of goods are chopped up fine and then mingled with the more valuable material. So practiced are some manufacturers that it requires an expert to distinguish between the grades. The local factory, which is the only one of prominence in the country, makes nothing but the finer goods. Heretofore the down and feathers used in Ametican markets have been imported. Uophcri and Moles tn Orchards. A correspondent of a.can Francisco paper writes: If a patent could be secured for the effectual expulsion of gophers from orchards the patentee would be likely to realize a fortune thereby. And yet the plan is within the reach ol all. While prnning the orchard of S. B. Marcus, who lives a few miles east of Watsonviüe, I was struck with the thrifty appearance of the trees and the total absence of any sign of gophers. On inquiry, Mr. Marcus informed me that a few years since the gophers were very numerous In the orchard, and made sad havoc among the trees, nearly destroying them. Having previously observed that the ground mole would not work in or near manure heaps, he came to the conclusion that manure placed about the roots of hie trees might possibly prevent the depredations of the gopher. The result more than met his expectations. Since he has commenced putting manure about the roots of his trees not a gopher has been seen, nor even the sisn cf one: besides, the trees have been greatly benefited by this manuring. Mr. Marcus says he amply dies away the soil from the trees, and places a few forksf ul of stable manure around the trunks of the trees am covers it over with the soil. If there is more manure than can b9 conveniently covered, he spreads it about the trunk of the tree. By this simple device he has not only driven these pests from Iiis orchard, but greatly benefited it by enriching the soil. Mr. Marcus deserves a gold medal for making tbis discovery. And it affords me much pleasure to bs able to give it to the public through the columns of your wiuely-ex-tended journal, which I find in nearly every household where I go. Ohio's crop of maple sugar last year was lxw.oOO pounds and 501,11;$ gallons of sirup, the product of 1 800,000 trees. The sogar brought from nina to twelve cents per pound, and the sirup about seventy-five cents per gallon. Uotlierattou Auioag the Doctors. There is a breeze In the St. Louis Medical Society over certain breaches of the code. Several physicians had "specialties" and advertised them. Thi3 being contrary to medical etiquette, necessitated the resignation of these phj8iciane. How queer it seems th it when a good means of cure is found, anv body should object to making it public. It is no secret that many physicians uas Brown's Iron Bitters in their regular practiie, with the happiest effect. Dr. M. E. Doughtry, Franklin, Ya , says: "1 am highly pleased with B:own's"lron Bitter3, at.d believe it to be superior to all other iron preparations." The Colorado Live Stock Record says: "We have It upon good authority that i'J.OOO sheep have, up to the present date, gone from the southern counties of Colorado to Kansas to feed for mutton." Hartford's Acid Phosphate IN IMF AIRED NERVE FUNCTIOX. Dr. C. A. Fernald, Boston, Mass., says: "I have used it in cases of impaired nerve function, with beneficial results, especially in caeeg where tbe pjstem is ailected by the tcxic action cf tobacco."

Tavntok, Mass. Dr. DavI4 Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y: Dear Sir I am an engineer oa the Old Coleny Eallrcad, and run the Fall River boat tr&la between Fall River and Lowel. residing In Tauuton. For ten years I suffered everything but death from dyn-epsia. Often I had such blinding tick heartaches that I could scarcely see. 1 think thin xvm due partly to irregular habits ot eating, andrarilvto the :ar of the engine. Sometime my head -would snap lika neuralgia, and asain tbe pain would settle in my eyes, which would feel tis tiij as a man's fists. My breata was very offensive, and my food soured as oon as it entered niTj stomach. In fact my stomach felt as thounh it were a Rreat raw and sore surface, and what agony it gave perhaps you can imagine. In the summer and fall of 1S76 when we had the heaTv centennial travel, the constant jar brought on accute attacts nearly every week, and I thought I should have to leave the road. But 1 kept at work until the next serine, when I grew fo rauch worse that I could virtually eat nothing, and concluded that my labor, and my life, too vtere about over. Remember, that I had tried every medlcin I heard of. and had been treated by some of the best physicians in Taunton and Lowell. At this critical time IR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REM KDY was recommended tome. It was new to me, and with my experience of medicines, you caneasilv torsive me tor saying that I had not a particle!ef faith in it. I had taken it but a few days when 1 began to cet better. Tbe raw and sore feeling left my stomach, and the snapping; pains left my head, and soon I was all rihi, and have been ever since. It is the only tiiinc that ever did me least the good, and it drove every ache, pal u and discomfort com pletely out of my body. Now I ke;p KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY with me on idv ergine, and it goes wherever I go. Why, IbelKve FAVORITE REMEDY will cure anything.
