SILVER BOBS UF 6LRENELY. The Oppoming Forec A,out Eyen1y Dl- So vihtd Il ill, S4.ato. WAsHINGWTON, Alarch 30.---.Intereot in the silver question was transferred from N the louse to the Senate yesterday by p the announcement by Senator Stewart at that he would call il) his free coinage lat bill on Monday next, immediately alter Ie the morning business. The bill is now e on the calendar, as "passe! over with out prejudice," so it may be taken tip at k any time. But it has an ad verse report ir of the finance committee against it., and rule 8, under which it comes, restricts. debate on it to live minutes for each Senator, and no Senator is allowed to speak more than once on any motion. P Under the order debate must close at 2 o'clock, when the unfinished business r11 of the day comes beffre the Senate. Therefore, in order to get the bill before C the Senate for extende:1 disessionl, at b majorit.y vote will be necessary, and of there the test will come. Il A canvass of the Senate made by Mr. d Vest, and confirmed by Mr. Carlislo Li shows that ten )emocratic Senators will vote against the bill. They are: Messrs. Ilill, MlcPherson, 1lodgett, (4ibson of Louisiana, White, Carlisle, Palmer Vest, Vilas and Butler of South Caro lina. Mr Gorman, is placed on the doubtf il list, but from the fact that I Ii '%oted for free (coinage ini 1891, it. is 8 presumed that he will (10 so again. Mir. it (lorman'i colleague in the last Con- r. gress. Mr. Wilson, voted against free %v coinage, but his successor, Mr. Gihsoii, e is placed in the free silver ranks in the I estimates made. ('ranting that %tr. Gibson will vote for free coinage, Mr. (lorman will hold the (ecidiig vote inl the Senate, for the careful estimate re ferred L.o makes the vote a tie, with Mr. (orIan classed as a free silver nali. According to this estimate 31 I Lepub licans and 10 I)emocrats named will o vote agaimst free silver. There are ss C inembeis of the Senat,e, and ilf tih esl i- I mate is correet, tihe opposing vote will be even, thus t hrowinmg the deciding 1: vole oi Vice President Morton, who 1 will vote agailist, free silver, and thus 1 kill tihe bill. The imnportance of' ir. tvormian's vote is aparient. lie w\,ill have the real (leciling votv. A comparison of the vote by which the f reesilver amen(ment was adopted. in the Senate in the ilast. t'ongress, with the estiniate made by Senator Vest. is a interest ing. It shows that there will be C noe change inl tho votis of New York 11 (Mi.

Senators Ilansbroigh and 'rkins, il ipmblicans, who suceviede Ired s-i lver P nit ii, will vote with te alit 1 i-re silver Iu laction. Senators Mandersoin anl 'ad vt dock, who voted for free silver, ar ' placed in the list of Hm s. t'le esti mates presume that tihe full vote of the Senate % ill I e polled, either direct 13 or by l pairs, aind tlie fituhie of' a Si ator to be painedi would chaige the e.s tiniate, SoV4en Ilabit-n at a ithlil. .

KOW That Nation 194-cin Celebrated in u culinary Way. In France coikcery took a new de >arture under Louis XIV., who had (in is younger (lays at least) a prodigious ppetite. "I have often," writes Mine. e laviere, "seen the king eat four lates of difTerent soups, a whole heasant, a partridge, a large plate of alad, two good slices of ham, a plate i pastry, and then he helped more than nee to fruits and sweet ieats." The xpenses of the royal k itchen in those Lays were almost fabulous, and the ourtiers seem to have vied with the ing in the extravagance of their bo'u xiets, says a writer in Ilackwood's dlagazinle. Some of the most famous sauces, such is Bechamuel and Sohise, date from ,his reign; and one of Mine. de. Sevigne's nost eloquent letters describes how Vatel, the prince of (onde's cook, killed limself in despair at the nonarrival of Jte fish on which he had been depend ing-a contretemps which a imotlern fe male cook would prohably he more likely to accentuate by first going into hysteries and then spoiling the rest of the dinner. Louis XV. inherited his grandfather's taste, if not his appetite; and his petits souipers, tables volantes, and silver kitchen apparatus are all historical. It was he, too, who first gav the dis tinction of cordon bleu to a female (10Ok--for this title, the blue ribbon of the kitchen, is never properly applied bit to a chef.

Napoleon himself was no great epicure, eating hurriedly at all times, and w%hIeneve' his appetite promitel him; but his chatincellor, Cambaceres, kept a splendid table, and was fortuiate in having the illustrious (.arene as his eeef de cuisine.

'LANTIC ELECTROPOISE CO., 222 King St., Charleston, S. C. Plant Hice. We have received from M ssrs. Dan image's Sons, New York, a little inphlet entitled, "Rice: Historical, ommercial and Agricultural." In it given much valuable information re rding the introduction of rice into is country, its production from its in )duction to the present time, its com Drcial history and its cultivation. They urge the planters to plant rice iere the acreage of cotton is reduced d we believe, that, if they would heed is advice that they would find them ves much better off at the close of year than they were last year. We believe that nine out of every ten ms in South Carolina coutains ough land, suitable for the cultiva in of rice, to make enough for home isumption, while hundreds of farms .itain enough to make hundreds and usands of bushels. But suppose h farmer made only enough for fam use, how many dollars would he ie ? From ten to twenty-five dollars each family would be saved. Ne know from personal experience it rice is not a. bard crap to make, and i know also that there is more Looney it than there is in cotton at the pres L prices. rom two to two hundred and fifty >usand packages of clean rice is im rted to this country every year. That ~orty to fitty million pounds, and yet no people say there is no market for :e. The reason why there is no mar t Is because they never have any to t on the market. Give it a trial.

It is geneially recogrlized ,liat the success of the Coservatve Democrac.'s ticket is by no means a -ertaiuty and, appreciating this fact, ,he fight will have to be a stubborn and letermined one, and backed with good )rganization. With the present ticket, % well conducted campaign, good organ. zation and conservatism, Columbinus generally think the "Shepherd" will gather to his flock and perhaps will find laces in the State IIouse for next win Rr's rest. The Administration men rppear to be perfectly satisfied with the )utlook, but as a matter of fact they are omewhat surprised at the strong front ,he opposition has presented and the lemocratic spirit displayed at the Con. rention. There is no doubt that there vill be some lively campaign talking. Vbe Anti-Administration ticket has in Jol. Orr and Col. Youmans two sledge. iammer debators, and in Mr. Sheppard, dr. Murphy and the Rev. Mr. Iliott drcible and clear-cut stump speakers. C'he Administration % ill have to rely hiefly onGovernor Tillman, Atiorney .eneral McLauriu and Secretary of State L'indal for its stump speakers. Messrs. daylield, Farley and Gary will al3o d1 ampaign work, but are not regarded as Ired-hot'" talkers like Governor Till nan.
