WAHUIXOTOX , January 23. Tlio number -
bor of executive sessions lately hold by
the soiiato , especially during the consideration -
oration of the Mexican treaty , has called
up the question na to the advisability of
so much secrecy in the transaction of ita
moat important business. This country
is a democracy , whoso members are not
satisfied unless they know or are made
to believe that they know everything
which is being done by tlioirgovornmont.
So when ono of the units of this never
equaled democracy of ours has found his
way-to his nation's capital , and threaded
its maze of corridors and climbed its
marble stairs , and passed the last door
keeper and seated himself in the gallery
of that auguat body known aa the senate
of the United States ( in which ho feels
that , as a citizen , ho can take a tender
and personal interest ) , it is exasperating
to him in the highest degree to bo sud
denly hustled out of his comfortable scat
at tlio cry
"EXECUTIVE HESsto.vt"
aud trotted down stairs and warned nway
from within so many rods of the pre
cincts suddenly become unapproachable
and mysterious where a momoutboforo
shone all the free sunahino of the repub
lic. Nor is an attempt on the part of
late arrivals to go up stairs to the galler
ies prevented by a warning card stretched
from pillar to pillar , but the unstiopect-
ing party is allowed to go up just two
stops , and then doorkeepers nnd pages
and guards rush after him shouting ,
"Executive sossionl" "Executive ses
sion ! " and if ho do not understand the
full significance of these ominoua words ,
ho ia turned bodily about before the
crowd at his back and made an exam
ple of.
THE AMERICAN CITIZEN
begins to wonder whether ho has got any
part in the government after all.nd
then ho has no moans of learning how
the senators from his state voted upon
high matters-of diplomacy , and has to
content himself with the guesses of the
newspapers , such as the Chicago
cage Tribune , when it says
that upon the Mexican treaty
senators from the eamo state were di
vided , which may not bo very far wrong
if the correspondent was thinking of
Nebraska.
Another method of doing business in
congress which is exciting much distrust ,
is the growing tendency to place every
thing in the hands of committees , which
are again divided into subcommittees , BO
that linally it is very often the cuso that
A claim or a bill involving thousands of
dollars finds its way into the hands of
ono man for action. His recommenda
tion almost invariably governs the com
mittee , aud thoir'a tlio house or senate ,
as the case may bo.
8ENATOII VAN WYCK.'s ATTEM1T
in the early part of the week to do away
with the secret session , at least while
considering the Mexican treaty , has mot
with much encouragement from the proas
hereabouts. Ho offered a resolution that
any further consideration of the recip
rocity treaty between Mexico and the
United States bo made in the open ses
sion of thoBonato. Objection was made
that a resolution of this kind could only
bo introduced in executive session , and
was sustained by the chair , and upon ap
peal by Mr. Van Wyck , the senate actu
ally \rent into executive session for the
space of twelve minutes , and when the
doors were opened it was discovered that
Mr. Van Wyck had withdrawn his ap
peal.Tho
The National Republican commenting
on this action this morning says : "Sena
tor Van Wyok gave the moldy traditions
of the upper house a cruel shock when
ho moved to do away with that rolio of
barbarism , the secret or executive ses
sions of that august body.
"While there is no prospect that BO
sensible a reform will over bo inaugur
ated , the proposition is out ) chuck full of
hard horse sense. What right hai this
body , who , after all , are but the servants
of the people , to draw around them
selves the mantle of secrecy in the dis
cussion of which the people have the
deepestinterest ? After nil it may bo n
doctrine of solf-dofonio with them , as it
enables them to pull and haul men and
matters in a manner that would , per
haps bo inconsistent with senatorial dig <
nity to have repeated for the edification
of their masters , the American people
by the press of the country , "
FitoxECTioN you IIKK KEEFKUS ,
The last session of the Nebraska Stat <
Dee Keeper's association , developed tin
] u ly fact that among the aparioa of tha
state , a disease has appeared known a
foul brood , contagious and infectious am
as fatal to boos as the plague in Egypt t
humanity. It was introduced , proba
bly , by purchasing infected colonies fron
other states , aud from the boos comini
with queens from infected localities. Th
boo keepers of Nebraska are now poti
tionlng the Nebraska delegation to ol
tain some protection for them against foi
oign dealers who hate introduced boo :
knowing them to bo diseased. It is prol
able that a bJl will soon bo introduced
Tlio boo keeper's ot Nebraska fool tha
they stand on daugoroua ground and tha
they are liable to have their young indiu
try , which now promises ao much and i
by all moans one of thu most praiaowoi

for though the disease pokcu c
iti its first inception is incurable , is enl
cured when malignant by absolute crc
mation of everything connected with th
apiary ,
THE TAUU'F OK WOOL.
Members of the Nebraska dolcgatioi
are in receipt of numerous letters fron
wool growers and those interested ii
sheep in their atato , upon the uubjuct o
reinstating the provision of the act o
1807 , which ia expected to como u ]
before long in congress. Ono man wh
has sold every hoof , "believing that any
thing was possible for an American congress
gross on the aubjeot of tariil legislation ,
writes that the reduction in the tariff Jin
had the pUect of reducing the not pric
of wool in Nebraska 20 per cent , Woe
that lutt year netted $20 will not noi
realize more than $10 , Many , he sayi
have gone out of the business , nnd mpi
would if their sheep were rateable. TJi
writer also makes two poinU , that a larp
portion of the Htiuo ia peculiarly ndaptc
to hocp husbandry that is not of much
value for anything else , with rates of
freight to the distributing centre from 2
to 't cents a pound , which makes it of im
portance to thn transrortion interest ,
nnd that if the wool growers do not have
spuody protection they will bo forced out
of n damaged business into other and
overcrowded branches ,
The secretary of tlio Western Nebraska
Wool Grower * ' association , Mr. John F.
Hayden , of Kenrnoy , writes : "Thoro
has boon n great loss to sheep men in
this part of Nebraska , when there is so
much land that is suitable for no other
pursuit than sheep raising , and nt present
prices wo will bo compelled to go into
some other lino. In Kearney , Phelps nnd
Buffalo counties thorp uro over thirty
thnumnd ewes now being fed for market
mutton , that are good sheep nnd of ages
that ought to bo atill bred , But nt
fifteen cents for wool hero there is no al
ternative. "
Our delegation in congress is pretty
well known to bo firm on this subject ,
nnd will do what tl'oy can for a protective
measure , onator Van Wyck has Already
placed himself on record by voting
ngninst the bill last year which removed
the tariff , and both ho nnd Senator Man-
dorson assure mo that they will vote any
time to renew the tariff of 1807 on wool.

probably burned out centuries ngo , is
sufficiently spacious to n fiord ample room
for a couple of mounted horsemen to ride

if so disposed , our cavaliers could aiccnd

bark , and , of course , dead , white and
ghost-liko , > is still standing , though
her top limbs are beginning to
fall. The bark removed from
the poor defrauded "Mother"
was exhibited at the Sydonham Crystal
Palace , where it was burned with the par
tial destruction by fire of that building
some years since. In 1853 , one of the
most imposing of the family group was
cut down , occupying five men twenty-five
days in performing the herculean work ,
which was accomplished by using augers ,
the borings being made toward the center -
tor of the tree. Upon the top of the
stump , smoothed and polished , a pavilion
has boon erected , and the sizable room
inclosed upon festive occasions serves for
a dancing hail , and is largo enough to ac
commodate thirty-two "sots" upon the

of whoso moldcring trunks , shrubs , love-
"iest wild flowers and soft , velvety moss
ipring up , gracefully beautifying all that
remains of their former stately majesty
and grandeur. Through ono of the
standing trees the monster "Wnwonn"

Is the Standard Oil company about to
establish a through line to the other out
of Pennsylvania avenue ?
To do this it would only bo needful to
tap the nearest conduit in Pennsylvania
proper nnd carry a branch pipe to Wash
ington. The great corporation which hoi
crushed out all possible opposition anci
enjoys a monopoly of the petroleum pro
duct of the country , nnd regulates thu
price of the manufactured article the
world over , transports , by a system o
underground pipes , the output of its wells
in Ohio , Pennsylvania , and New York to
the refineries , and thence for tranship
ment from thn seaboard. It is widely
believed , if it is not wholly true , that by
nn inconioua system of underground pipe
laying the Standard Oil company liaa
brought thu father of its most astute
manager , Colonel Puynu into the posses
sion of the Ohio senatorship aud into
training as a presidential candidate , ll
is mighty alick in its opurations , as becomes
comes a concern claiming to manufacture
the most approved lubricator in the market
kot , and these operations are conductc <
on a mammoth seuli > .
To carry out its plan the Standard Oi
company lias but to lay the branch ipdi
catea , seize the * venerable Payne at the
proper moment at some convenient place
on the Western reserve , crowd him into
an underground conduit , with the propo
quantity of triction-proventinggreaBe.atu
land him in the white house on achodul
timo.
Believing the people of all worry , i
would bo a novel way of electing a pros !
dent. But wjiat if the pipe should breal
midway between Cleveland and Washing
ton , and nu excited and indignant popn
lacu should ship the good Mr. Puyne
smelling awfully of petroleum , bu
otherwise in good condition , back t
Cleveland ?
Kvon n Standard Oil company's plan
might miscarry sometimes. (

Since John L. Sullivan lists announced
tis intention of retiring from the pn ilia-
ic arena thousands have wondered who
ho coining champion will bo. Some
porting celebrities look to Joe Premier-
rraat , others to Mitchell ami John Flood ;
hen again there are not a few who have
n idea that "Tho Black Star" will arise
oonor or later and tower above the
dniiota that are at present hovering
iround that magic circle whoso bounda-
icn consist of stakes and ropes.
Jim McCabe has trained many a pu
gilist. His judgment is considered ox-
lollont. Jim thinks that the coming
mgiliat will not bo of the ordinary kind ,
le will bo a slugger in n certain sense ,
> ut will not depend upon hard hitting
o make his opponent's seconds throw up
ho Dpongo. McCabe evidently takes
lis cue from the blow which Mitchell do-
ivorod upon Sullivan's chin in theen ! -
ountor at Madison Square Garden. It
vaa not n particularly hard rap , but it
was accompanied by science and excel-
out judgment , which had the effect of
( impelling that champion to measure his
ongth upon the hard boards of the iloor
nd calling forth several rounds of voci-
orous applause from the spectators.
'That blow , " said McCabe , "was of such
a character as to sot all the sports a
hinking , and several aspirants to pugilis-
ic honors ore now studying the anatomy
if the human body with a view of find-
ng the weakest spots. I have myself
liscovorod in n volume of 'Draper's
\mtomy1 three spots in the human body
which nro so susceptible that 8 punch
would knock a man out. "
"You don't moan to say that a pugi-
ist could be knocked out with a single
) low ? " suggested the reporter.
"I certainly do , and the blow could bo
omparativoly light. "
"Whore are those spots ? "
"Ah ! now , it is money in my pocket
, o keep that knowledge to myself. "
"I know of one spot behind the oar , "
aid the reporter , "which , when a blow
s properly administered , will bo very
iablo to knock a man out. "
"A man will only bo stunned by a
) low behind the oar , and his seconds will
> o but a very few seconds in bringing
him around , " was the rejoinder. "But , "
continued the speaker , "the placoa of
which I speak are very liable to do a
man up for some < imo. Tto rap that
Wooden hit Walker was not BO very hard ,
> ut it was delivered in one of the spots
hat I have I discovered. What was the
consequence ? Why , the poor follow fell
dead in his tracks. "
"Then you mean the pugilist of the
uturo will be a purely science man ? "
"Just exactly what I mean ; ho will bo
a serb of a surgeon who will understand
ho human form exactly. "
"Do YOU think lhat future pugilistic
ncounters will bo of long duration ? "
"That will doi-ond entirely as to how
, ho two men are matched. In the event
; hat both are students , the fight will bo
f long duration ; but if only one bo a
tudent , one round will suffice. "
"How will ho tram for a fight ? ' ,
"His principle * schooling -will bo re-
oivcd at the hands of experienced sur-
; eons. Hospitals , I think , would bo the
lost training ground , but a great part of
he work will bo done at a table , under
, ht > light of a student's lamp. "
"But will he not require muscle ? "
"Oh , yes , a trifle ; but that can easily
> o acquired in any gymnasium. An hour
or sea day will be all that it is nocesiary.

deliver his blows with the proper force.
This , of course , I desire you to under
stand will bo a very important feature ;

> arod with his anatomical knowledge. "
"Under those circumstances , if you
were training a man , what would you ad
vise him to eat ? "
"Anything that would conjointly feed
, ho brain aud body. Take lish , for in

"Would you administer the black
donor
"That would not bo necessary , Some
mild cathartic would be all that would be
loodod , , such as Hunyadi water , or mo-
asses taffy. I have found tlio latter to

particularly desirable , "
' Yould you , as usual , deprive him of
alcoholic stimulants ? "
"No , sir ; a little brandy and water I
take it would bo oxcollont. Besides , I
should > advise him to drink a little beer
while engrossed in deep study. "
"Bow about tobacco ? "
"I see no reason vrhy my man should
not imoko. 'Slio practice of chewing I
abho ; on general principles. There is an
old ulago , you know , which runs : 'Ho
whopmokoji thinks like a philosopher. '
Why should ho not smoke , therefore ? "
"Would you second your man your
self1 ?
"J think it.would bo advisable. From
my present disposition I think that most
of the appliances in vogue would bo dis
pensed with and a few drugs substituted.
For instance , . I should administer a dose
of assafcjitida to my principal at the out
set of a battle , which would have the ef
fect of keeping him cool and collected.
A man ijeeds to have his wits constantly
aoout him , and the priza-fightor of to-day
almost always becomes rattled and deliv
ers his bjowa without the slightest knowl
edge of where they will land. Even Sul
livan , the mighty , gets off his cabaso at
the very outset of a fight. About the
second nuud ho comes to himself , and in
a very HWe while the contest is invuria-
bly over , ow 1 will tell vou something
about SulhSan that tho" public don't
know. Ho was , in years gene by , an as

What I mean ban assistant is ; u part of
his duty was tea present ut dissections ,
and as no was a vlry attentive student , he
acquired a knowlotoa that haabeon worth
thousands of dollaW to him. You will

Fill's. Ho was found in n audio in the
rear of Captain Plynu's spoiMng house.
Mr Vid'lt , It will bo romcbbarcd , U
the man who knocked out the clever
western light-weight recently , and can
bo matched to fight nny 140 pound nw
in the country , to fight from § 500 to 81 ,
000 ft side. On entering the studio Mr.
Files was noted to bo wrapped in pro
found study. Scattered around him on
the floor were n number of anatomical
and medical books , while in a basket
in the corner was piled a conglomerate
mass of lobster , crab , and oyslo ? shells.
"Oood evening , Mr Filosl"
"AM Glad to sec you , Mr , Reporter , '
was Mi genial response.
"I see you nro pursuing the now
theory , " truggcstcd.tho reporter , glancing
at the scattered books.
"I guosa you have seen Mr. McCabe
lately , " was Mr. Files' rejoinder.
"Why so ? " was asked.
"Bccaiido lin was the only man besides
inypolf who i making a study of the now
departure in pugilism. "
"What do you think of it so far as you
have gonel"
"I have not the slightest doubt but
that the man who iiinntors its mysteries
and intricacico will make a profund sen
sation in the pugilistic -world. I have a
very fair opportunity of probing the sub
ject to is very bottom. Thus far I have
mot with uignal success. What I need
now is the benefit of a few weeks' prac
tice in the dissecting room of Dellovuo
or some other hospital I made
application to Commissioner Brontmn
for the position of attendant , and hope
to bo a successful candidate , in which
event I will be a made man. You see I
have all the practice at slugging I need.
Two or throe times a day 1 entertain the
visitors of Captain Flynn's hostelry with
Jimmy Murray with soft gloves. Of late
Jimmy has been fighting entirely on the
defensive. Ho docs not know the reason
of my change of tactics , but ho does not
appreciate the gentle touches that I give
him on the weak spots , and fights all at
sea during our short encounters. Now I
hope you won't give this nway.for it may
set him to thinking also. "

Exciting Scene at a Menagerie.
Franxtho London Lolcgraph.
A terrible panic occurred at a menagerie
yesterday , which , during the Now Ytar
weeK is exhibiting at Bolton. It appears
that about 3 o'clock a "lion tamer" en
tered the den occvpied by tigers , and
before ho had time to close the door one
of the tigers slipped between his legs and
bounded into the middle of the menage
rie , which was thronged at the time with
spectators. A scene of the wildest ex
citement followed. The tiger , becoming
more and more enraged , rushed about the
tent , but on the approach of the line
tamer it slunk into a corner , vrhen at
tempts were made by the regular attend
ants to secure it by covering it with a
largo empty barrel. In the meanwhile
the mass 01 people who had obtained
admission to the exhibition during the
afternoon ran to the steps leading from
the menagerie. Many were thrown on
the ground , and not a few were trampled
upon. The force of the crush was such at
one corner that the hoarding between two
caravans was thrown down , and through
the breach thus made women rushed out
screaming and fainting , while others came
pouring out by the mam entrance , causing
intense commotion among the people
collected outside. In the confusion one
young woman was thrown against a cage ,
whereupon a tigress in it immediately
thrust out its paw , toro off her bonnet and
lacerated her nock. She was taken to the
infirmary. While all Una was going on
the escaped tiger had been secured by
means of the barrel , and it waa- replaced
in its don. The space in the center had
Bcarcolybconclearedwhon a reportspread
that the animal had escaped a second
time. Again there was a 1 rightful rush
among those inside the mouagorio. The
rumor was , however , groundless. The
hoarding broken do wn in thn first rush
was replaced , and the band having begun
to play tranquility was restored.

Arkansaw Traveler ,
"Gentlemen , " said on Arkan&aw Col-
encl , as ho stood under the limb of a tree
from which depended n rope , "I must
protest my lunocenoe , I did not steal
tne mule , I am above potty theft. I
know that you all have the interest of
the community at heart , and I don't
blame you ; but there are time < when wo
arc all liable tobo too rash. If Lhad stolen
tlio mule my , guilt would oppress mo un
til I would beg to bo put out of the world
in the most summary way "
"The mule was found in your possess
ion , " saiditho loader of the mob.
"Very true , uiy .dear sir. "
"Did ho jump into your kit
"Nosir ; . ! conducted him to the con
fines of my premiios. "
"Did jou buy the animal ? "
"No sir. "
"Did you trade for him1 ?
"I did not. * *
"Then you etolo him , Lot down the
rope , boys , " '
"GoaUoinon , I hope you will give me
a chance to explain. The mule in quoa
tion was the property of our distinguish
ed follow-citizun , Maj , 3luglosbary. Some
i time ago the major and 1 exchanged a
few W'.rda of an uncamplimentnry nature.
I intimated that tlio Major's bloi d would
bo highly satisfactory to mu , and the
Major said my gore wou d please him
mightly. Well , we separated , thorough

the Mnjor and 1 met. I got what is \ ul-
garly called the ilrop on him , fcnd re
lieved him of thu top of hia head. lie
was riding a mule at the time , nnd uhen
ho full oil I saw that he no longer hud
any practical use for the animal , so I
took charge of him. Now , if I had dis
mounted in the way ho did 1 should have
interposed no objection to the Major's
taking my hotse. "
"I hope , sir , that you will excuse us , "
replied the Joador of the mob. "We
thought that you Etolo the mulo. Your
explanation in most satisfactory , and I
hope you'll oxcusc us. Lot ua all take a
