The Senate was today in secret session I debaring the resolution offered by Doipb in behalf of th* committee recently appointed to investigate tbe x-t u'iv«? session leaking* and catling for the arre*t and imprisonment ot J Halford of the Associate! I'ress and George Grantbaw B*m of the United Hr.-**, for contempt in refusing to divulge the source* ot the.r new* concerning secret lessiont. The re* iluuon and report it the committee *et forth the fact tuat :he*e correspond-nts were guilty of making oubiic the confidential busine** of the Sen ate contrary to the statute Dolph said ;he committee were unable to obtain satis factory information from the five news [taper men, called as witnesses iu the in rest gatioii which has been in progress fir lome time. Senator Teller offered as a substitute for Do ph’s resolu'iuu a resolution heretofore iffer. d by bun now pending before the minute* on rules, providing for the con lideration of nomination* io open executive lession. He said the Senate was making tself ridiculous in its effort* to run down letrayers of executive secrets. and saielcng to that class of American people vho loved fair play? (Applause on the ■epublican side.) Did the member of that )andit band, who wa* the attorney for the tontestee in Crittenden county, and who itood by when he saw the contestant getting jut of the county in order to save his life,did le belong to that portion of the American people that loved fair play? (Applause Moore of Texas asserted that *11 the lestimony taken by the contestant in Mem phis involving the question of conspiracy ind fraudulent Pallet box wa* a bold, bald wd unpretended forgery in all particular*. Norton of .Missouri contended that Cate j ■ras entitled to the seat, criticized the arguments of the other side for being based, not on ihe testimony in tbe case, but upon [he extraneous matter calculated to excite feeling* of passion or sentiment. Br« kinr.dge of Arkansas said tbat gen [lemen in discussion the question wandered far from the evidence in the case now an ier consideration. Nobody had a lduced a syllable of testimonv to show that any j wrong* rommitted in Crittenden county bad not been reprobated by tbe great mass of people of tbe country. A Pointsd Question He referred to tbe peaceful condition of affairs in Kansas, which brought Keiiy of Kansas to his feet with tbe question as to what had become of the colored detective who had gone to the gentleman's district to find ont who murdered tbe man whoso bloody shoe* the gentleman stood in today. Breckinridge replied tbat the negro en gaged in trying look up the murderer* cf Col. Clayton got into a difficult? with a re publican boy wh *e father was a republi can. Tbe negro wis drunk, and applyiag opprobrious epithet* to the boy struck him with a syne. bov shot him with a pistol It was a repub.ican altercation. The father came out with the statement asking republicans to desist from effort* to fix the offence on democrat*, a* it might jeopardize tbe life of his »on who acted in •elf defense. Nearly every member who had spoken on the other side had spoken of the death of bis lamented opponent, a* if it had been the result of democratic policy. If there i* anything that should be sacred la the keeping of the American people, it was the honor of the community of the Ameri can people. When the time came to con sider the case, let m* the member* of the committee come here with the poor plea that it could not take the testimony. Who ever might be guilty, it was not the Ameri can people. Greenhalge of Massachusetts, mid be would have taken the generous and manly declarat on of the gentleman from Arkan sas, with macb more credit, much more feeling and sympathy, if the enforced ab fence of his competitor did aot prevent him from making a counter statement. In the pending case the question was not between re publics a and democrat. It was between democrat and dem ocrat. It arose between two mem bers of the Caucasian race H-viewing the testimony in the case he sail in order to preserve the purity of the ballot, the House had a right to relax the rigidity of the rules, which, if enforced, would makr- viiliany and violence their rampart. Be the contestant republican or democrat, black or white, the justice of the American p-opie required that he should be seaed here. (Applause on the republi can sule Maish of Pennsylvania said much was introduced into (he discussion not in the record and ought not to have been intro dared H* anshxed the evidence, con tending there nothing (herein contained, (h*t should be held to justify the House in ut seating the coatestee. Springer of Illinois thought the case thoroughly investigated, and favored a res olution which be would offer at the proper time appropriating #lu,UOO to enable the sub-committee of the committee on elec tions to proceed to the first district in Ark ansas and investigate the election. Grosvenor of Ohio said he would move to amend the resolution by doubling the snpropnation and having the examination extend to the other Arkansas districts. Springer—I accept that. Cheadle of Indiana defended the charac er of Col. Dudley and denied the authen icity of the blocks of five" letter. Owens of Ohio—Do you believe that Dudley wrote that letter? Cheadle—No sir: I am not surprised that he democrats hate Col. Dudley, because ie is the best politician in America. I in cite for bis private or official life a most learchiug investigation. He is one of the irighiest and noblest men on this continent Pending further debate the House at 5.30 idjourned. Maine Postal Bootes.

This wonderful little instrument s used for the purpose of forming and ex mining the spectra of the va:i us elements of which the earth composed. When each of these elements is in s gaseous form brought to a white heat, and its light made fo pass through a prism it produ -e« a ecl rurn peculiar to itself, being different from that of every other element. It is therefore possible to determine the composition of a luminous body when in a gaseous State, by simply examining its spectrum; and even if the body producing the light be composed of several 1 IT*-rent substances, each of them will osuslly make its presence known in the spec truni. By this means five new chemical ele merits have been added to the fifty-nine be fore known to exist. Although the spectro scope has been in use hardly thirty years the variety and impartsnee of the discov eries already made by its use are simply marvellous and the range of its possibilities seen* unlimited. |r« revelations however, are by no means confined to the earth, it in fact, in the domain of Astronomy where its greatest achievements have been a* ompli«hed. It tells ns of the nature, motions and condi tions uf matter at the hum.

It is not my intention to take the time to give a history, or even a Inscription of the spectroscope. Gut move particularly to call attention to its latest and crowning tri umph I refer to the results obtained and conclusion* drawn from spectrosc *pic ob servation* recently ma le at the Cambridge observatory f the star "M /.at' of the Great Hear (Zeta I .Tsar Msjori*.)

Increased Attendance nt Cony School. A gentleman well acquainted with the schools of Augusta, in speaking of the High School yesterday said that indications now were that the ball overhead the main school room would have to be brought into use at an early day as a school room. The rea sons for so doing are that the school room beneath is not large enough to properly ac commodate the pupils. At the time of the building of the Cony schoolhoase there were about 60 pupils while last term tee re were were 1100. In planning the present main school room this increased number of scholars was not taken into ac count. In order to accommo late the pres ent number extra seats have been added about the sides of the room and this crowded condition is expected to increase. Hince the country schools come under the supervision of the city school committee, they are prepared to fit scholars for the High school, and many of these come to the Cony High school. When the ball is made a school room, if ever, an extra boiler will probably be added iu order Co supply the necessary heat. Borne thing Special for the Public. The rain of the last two or three days baa hindered the attendance of a large number jf people at the Atkinson House Furnish ing Co's Special Sale. We trust that now the weather is broken the people will take advantage of the liberal offer* made by Lhi* Co.

We are informed by the Co. that they are daily in receipt of letters from the vicinity of Port land. Auburn, Bangor. where the recent isles have been held, from people who are desirous of purchasing at the same prices were advertised, and whilst they would like to he able at all times to sell at these terribly low prices, it is a matter of impos •ibiiitv as many articles are quoted below cost, and will positively be sold at these •ales, but they will return to the regular prices as soon as the sale is over. A word to the wise is sufficient. feb28dtf Union Mutual Lite Insurance Co., Portland, Maine As compared with the preceding year, the results of the Company's business for I88D summarized, are as follows Increased Premium Income.

We bad already journeyed seven day* from Capetown, passing through tba pcetty villages of Paari and Ceres, with the vineyards and ,r1***** fields, and bad worn reached the edged the deaert known as the Karroo. The site is marked on the map of Sooth Africa as beginning beyond the range of tba great Zwarta (Black mountains). The entrance to the Karroo is through a smsll gorge about a quarter of a mils long and twenty yards wide, with abrupt wails of stone on either aide, which seems to indicate that at some former period a stream of water had passed out through this gorge from a lake whose bed is now an and desert. The distance across the desert to the point we wished to reach was 100 miles, which we wished to ac complish in three days. It was neces sary to be careful of our horses, know ing there was no water on the journey for them. We hoped to do forty miles the first day, and thirty miles each day of the two following. We entered the Karroo Poor* (Karroo Gate) at sunrise, and set out on our hazardous journey. I should state that we had stopped over night at a last farmhouse near the Poort, to give our horses rest and a good feed, and to supply ourselves with forage for them and water for ourselves, filling every available vessel with the precious fluid. Our conveyance was a light though strongly built cape cart, on oc casion covered with a canvas hood to protect us from the sun's rays, and there were four of us. No one can set out upon a desert journey without mingled emotions of hope and fear, there are so many contingencies lying along those weary roads, and roads rendered more desolate by the bleaching bones of dead animals—for often the willing beasts, the horses and oxen, fall with fatigue, and see with dying gaze the keen eyed vultures swooping from afar. As we entered the desert it spread be fore us on every side like a boundless brown aea, silent, solitary and vast. As the sun rose into the sky the warmth be came intense and when by midday we halted we could see the heat rising from the scorched plains in the wavy columns like golden flames. There ts no greater alleviator of thrist than cold tea. and no safer stimulant in a torrid land. While the horses were being unharnessed and fed Meadows and I prepared our midday meal. In three hours we broke upcamp, and went on again until the day was nearly done—a day that had passed fairly well. There was neither tree nor mountain in sight; nothing to break the level mo notony that stretched a* far as the eye could see. We encamped for the night in the midat of this swelling loneliness, and then perhaps for the first time began to feel its power. We spent the last hour before sundown in cutting and gathering a quantity of brushwood (Karroo shrub, the only thing that grows upon these plains) to feed a necessary fire to protect us from the wolves and jackals which scour the d»*.rt in packs. After supper we put away our tin dishes, replenished our big fire, wrapped ourselves in our rugs, and lay down with our weapons by our sides and our feet to the fire. Adolph and Wilhelm Moritz, happy Dutchmen, were soon asleep; Meadows and I lay c hatting for some time, then relapsed into quietness, the deep and strange* silence that surrounded us bro ken only by the stir of the horses tied to the wagonpole. The singular sensation of lying in this noiseless desert drove sleep from my eyes, and I lay awake a long time after George Meadows had fallen aslee p. Suddenly there came inte the dead sib nee a long, sharp, piercing cry, answered by another in the opposite direction, equally distant: these wen the cries of jackals. Then came the bark of a wolf, answered by a chorus, and Meadows suddenly rose into a sitting position. “The brutes are coming!" la* exclaimed. Instantly a hun dred throats seemed to be baying into the darkness, drawing nearer and nearer, until w e could see, surrounding us like a circle of lire, the scintillation of red eyes. The scene w as now become one of start ling re ality—ull about us the dense dark ness, lighted only, and in a manner made more perceptible, by the rays of the glowing brushwood embers; in all direc tions about us the glare of shining eyes, and now the brutes came so near that we could hear the angry snarls and the snapping of their jaws. George Meadows rose and threw fresh fuel on the fire; the flame that crackled and flashed up brought into view the shaggy forms of the gray wolves, the striped hyenas, behind them, again, the jackals; and the horses, realizing that their deadly enemies were close at hand, gave low whinnies, as though calling upon us for protection. The Moritz brothers were up. and, together with ourselves, opened fire upon the animals, shooting, at the shifting masses where they seemed thickest, answered by howls and cries of rage as our bullets tore their way iiit-i the restless groups. For an hour or more the animals skulked around; but, as we kept our brushwood fire in good condition, they finally gave up what we feared was a premeditated at tack. and stole away. Ami then we rested and knew no more till the chilly dawn awoke us. when a fresh misfortune awaited us. In the confusion of the night before a wooden canteen, filled with water, had been kicked over, the bung started and much of the contents lost. While the horses were U ing fed and “inspanned," Meadows made coffee, and then, greatly refreshed, we set out before the sun was up, journeying still deeper into the des ert. Our drive was a dreary pull. Once we passed close to where a fl>x*k of vul tures were feeding on the carcass of some animal that had wandered off the road to die. Our track was lined with whitened hones. After we had halted for an hour's rest and a hurried break fast, w e went on again, and should have been in good spirits enough had not our horses, inured as they were, begun to show unmistakable signs of the fatigue that follows a lack of water. We ourselves had not too much to sat isfy the needs of four men, and we de termined to put ourselves on short al lowance since the mishap of the night before. After the midday “outspan” our late afternoon journey was enlivened by a singular display of thieving bold ness. We were slowly “trekking" along, the two drivers of our four in hand team seated on the front seat, Meadows and I on the scat liehind half asleep, the cur tain at the end of the wagon rolled up a few inches to permit a draught to paa through, when all at once we hoard a scuffling kind of spring and scratching at the tailboard, and looking round we caught the glim pee of the nose of a jack al as it disappeared from sight. The rea son was obvious. Lashed against the back of tiie wagon outside was a sack of dried salt fish, the odor of which had at tracted the sharp scented thieves, and which the brutes were endeavoring to steal, and finally succeeded in doing so by biting off the lashings. Moritz would not stop the horses, but whipped them up afresh, saying: "Let them have it.’* George and I, however, used our revolvers, leaving many of them dead in the road behind; but, having se cured the fish, they seemed satisfied, as we could see them in the distance fighting and tearing at each other over the booty. Night came and all was quiet when ws outspanne 1 at the close of the day, our bed against the hot sands and our cover ing the dim vault above, studded with stars that looked like points of burnished silver stretching far away. Our third and last day’s journey was a mo6t trying one. during which we fully realized what desert traveling may be come. We had exhausted our last drop of water the night before, and we awoke with a thirst tiiat seemed then u a bear able; but before the day was over w# learned that our morning thirst was but a trifling affair. Everything was inten sified on that day; the sun seemed fiercer, the heat greater, the desert drier and the •ky more defiant; in fact, we seemed to be journeying deeper and deeper into a furnace whose fires forbade a further approach, and when we halted for the noonday rest both man and beast were ottvly exhausted. No one who has not nomad a daaarl can possibly imagine the fearful coodi tion to which a want of water reduce* him; the food u swallowed with diffi culty. and the system is faint with fever, while the know icdge of its absence does but heighten the craving of the body for its cool refreshment. After our rest we set out again, and the time slipped by in silence. Later, looking up, 1 saw some thing, and turned and said to Meadows: “Thank God! there is water ahead. See. there is a lake a few miles off." “A laker exclaimed Moritx. “Don't you know what that is?" “What is it, if not a lake?" demanded Meadows. “A mirage—and nothing else." said the elder Moritx. “A mirager 1 cried. “Why, 1 can see the water; there are the reflections of the trees and deer drinking." “You'll see what'll become of your lake, mynheer, and your trees and your deer, as we go,” he replied with a short laugh. "No! you’ll see no water till we re out of the Karroo and at Verbeck’* farm.” Far away overhead in the brazen sky was a single vulture that made one dizzy to look at. An hour later the stumbling horses suddenly pricked up their ears, and the leaders neighed. •There is water.” said Moritz, in an undertone of surprise. “You may de ceive a man. bnt you can’t deceive a horse.” True enough, in a short time we came up to a nearly dried pool of filthy water, little more than mud. as thick as por ridge and as brown as chocolate, towards which the horses rushed with new en ergy. It was a cruel act. but we pulled up suddenly, and Adolph and his brother leaped to the ground and held them back while Meadow s and I ran forward and scooped up the liquid and strained it through a handkerchief until we had col lected a large kettleful. Then we out spanned and let the horses go. and stood and watched them as they eagerly licked up the muddy compound. One may ask how it was this little pool should be in the road tracks of the desert, where, as far as we knew, no rain had fallen. 1 cannot tell; 1 only know that it was there and that it saved our lives. A tire was made, and the kettle set on it; we knew we had the water and could wait. It was boiled, to free it from impurities and germs it might contain, and then, when properly heated, w’e again strained it through a handkerchief, afterward pouring it all into a porous pitcher we had with us, and, incasing that again with a strip of wet flannel, we placed the pitcher in the sun. where the evaporation of the steam ing flannel cooled the water inside to a delicious freshness, though it could not improve the flavor. We drank a large cupful each—it was the colored polished mahogany—and put the rest into the wagon, slaking our thirst as we drove on. Just before the sun set, a globe of crimson fire in an empty, quivering sky. we saw before us, touched with his last beams, a distant fringe of trees, and we knew we were nearing our journey’s end, for Verbeck’s farm lay be hind that distant foliage. Our last meal was eaten on the desert, our last rest taken till the moon was up, and then on again we “trekked’’ through a silent world. At midnight of that same day we walked our weary horses up to the farm gate, and were met by the hospital farmer Verbeck and his family, heralded by the troop of dogs that are invariably to be found hanging about the Dutch farm houses. Our journey across the Karroo was accomplished and we had reached the farm of mooifontein (beautiful wa ter). Behind the white walled bouse and shaded trees ran a small river to which we led the horses before taking them to the barn; and later, over an im promptu supper, we told Verbeck the latest news from the civilized world, and slept that night with a grateful seuse of perils overcome, far into the morning light of the following day.—Illustrated London News.
