MEDICAL.
Diphtheria. A cold or sore throat may not BPem to
amount to much, and If promptly attended to can easily be cured; but neglect Is often followed bv consumption or diphtheria. No medicine has ever been discovered which acts so quickly and surely in such cases as PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER. The prompt use of this invaluable remedy has saved thousands of lives.
PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER is not an experiment. It has been before the
Subllc for forty years, and is most valued ’here It Is best known. A few extracts from voluntary testimonials
read as follows: Pain Killer has been my household remedy for
colds for the past twenty-seven years, and hava
Eever known it to fail in effecting a cure.— i. 8. Crocker. AVillianisville, N. Y. For thirty years I have used Pain Killer, and
round it a never.faillug remedy for colds and sore throat.—Barton Seaman.
Have received Immediate relief from colds and sore throat, and consider your Pain Killer an Invaluable remsdj'.—Geo. B. Everett, Dickinson, I have just recovered from a very severe cold,
which 1 have had for Bomo time. I could get no relief until I tried your Pain Killer, which relieved me immediately. I will never again be without it — C. O. Force. Lowndes, Ga.
Have used Pain Killer in my family for forty
Eears. aud have never known it to fttiL—Han bom
iEwib, Waynesboro, Ga. I began using Pain Killer in my family twenty,
five years ago and have used itever since, and have found no medicine to take its place.—B. W. Dyer, Druggist, Oneida, N. Y. ..
For whooping-cough and croup it is the best preparation made. We would not be without it— A. P. Bouts, Liberty Mills, Va.
For twenty-five years I have used Pain Killer for colds and chapjied lips, and consider it the best medicine ever offered.—Geo.Hoofeb,Wilmington, N. C. I was Buffering severely with bronchitis, and my
throat was bo inflamed I could scarcely swallow any food. I was advised to try your Pain Killer, and after taking a few doses was completely cured.—T. Wilkinson.
x
Dr. Walton writes from Coshocton: Tour Pain Killer cures diphtheria and sore throat, so alarm*
fail in a single instance. This fact you should make known to the world.
Mrs. Ellen B. Mason writes: My son was taken violently sick with diphtheria, high fever, and cold chills. So many children have died here, I was afraid to call a physician, and tried your Pain Killeb. He was taken on Sunday, and on Wednesday his throat was clear. It was a won- derful cure, and I wish it could be known to the poor mothers who are losing so many children.
For Chills and Fever PAIN KILLER has no equaL It cures when everything else falls.
Delays are often dangerous. A bottle of Pain Killer 4n the house is a safeguard that no family should be without.
All drugglstssell it at 85c., 50c., and $1.00 per bottle.

THE SIIUBVS K\IFE. Wonderful Surgical Operation—Removal
of Urinnry Stone* from the Rlndder— Successful.
Mr. Simeon Tletsell of Sangerties, N. Y.. had been treated for seven years by various physicians for what they call Stricture of the Urethra, without
benefit. He finally consulted Br. David Kennedy, of
Rondout, N. Y., who found his trouble to be Urinary Calculi or Stones in the Bladder. The doctor at
once removed the foreign bodies with the knife and then gave his great Blood Specific, “Favorite Reme-
dy,” to prevent their reformation. The entire treat
ment was eminently successful, and Mr. Tietsell's
recovery was rapid and perfect. While “Favorite Remedy” is a specific tn all Kid
ney and Bladder diseases it is equally valuable in
cases of Bilious Disorders, Constipation of the Bowels, and all the class of ills apparently inseper- ahle from the constitutions of women. Try it. Yonr
druggist has it, and its cost is only one dollar a bot-
tle. The lucky man is he who puts this advice in
practice. Don’t forget tho name and address, Dr.
David Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y. The Doctor would ;t that toTiIIa hn ia nncrflirml in thfl
introduction of Ms medicine,“Favorite Remedy.”he still continues the practice of his profession, bn
confines nimself exclusively to office practice. He
treats all diseases of a chronic character, and per. forms all the minor and capital operations of surgery.

A Business Congress. The letter from a Washington correspond-

The comparison is just and timely, the praise and censure both de- served. During the years the Democracy held the llou^e the leaders of that party were guilty of all the sins of omission and
were saved from commission only by the ex.

nothing for the common weal, hut wasted their time in obstructing and frequently de-

time and the public money in unseemly wrangling.
We have now, as our correspondent says, a business Congress, a majority in the House that is seriously turning its mind to legisla- tion, and wisely and conscientiously consid- ering the various projects submitted to its
notice. Its committees are doing their work with thoroughness and deliberation, but
with all necessary dispatch, and the public business is better advanced than at this stage of the session for years. Unfortu- nately the House is somewhat retarded in
its work by the smallness of the Republican majority there, aad the usefulness of the Senate impaired by a tie. However, the trouble in the lower branch can be remedied this Fall, and doubtless will be. The people whose interests are in the care of our repre- sentatives at Washington will see that the
hand's of their honest and industrious ser-
vants are held up. The way to do this is to return a House emphatically Republican.

Tribune is heated to such wrath against Hugh Hastings of the Commercial Adverti- ser as to style him “a ‘ridiculous old blath-

fangs to lodge it.” We do not object to the
characterization because of love for the for- mer editor of the Albany Switch, but in
pity for the Tribune. Hastings is equal to
the emergency. He wants to have the “Uri- ah Heep of the Tribune” understand “that
‘the ‘ridiculous old blatherskite’ has man-

insult and boot ‘him the first opportunity.” The press of New York should be the model

Abuses in Medical Practice.
A Dissertation Worthy of a Religious Weekly.
[Philadelphia Press.} We yield to no one in a high respect for the
medical profession. We recognizo the debt
which humanity owes to it, and we are free to
say that he is unworthy ot this era of civiliza- tion and progress who takes no pride in the
steady advance of a profession with whose ministrations life begins and ends, alasl too of- ten witli great suddenness. Bat we are not blind to what we are forced to consider the faults of some practitioners—not quack or herb doctors, but graduates of honored institutions, physicians in good standing
It has come to our knowledge that lu ordina- ry cases of cronp, a thing not to be trifled with, certainly, and yet not necessarily fatal if taken in band in time, argumentum baculinem Is pre- scribed In doses sufficient to stagger a horse. Sometimes the patient recovers, sometimes succumbs, but recovery is more a matter of good fortune than skill. The treatment of diphtheria is scarcely less heroic. Amicus cu- ria; and in hoc si'/no vinces are prescribed in equal quantities. The ensuing retching is frightful, and with young patients, frequently fatal. The most cautions practitioners give, with a much better general average of success, one part particeps criminis to three parts om- nia vincit amor in port wine enough to dissolve and make palatable. Neuralgia, which is in- creasing with fearful strides, is too commonly treated with palmam qui meruit feral, supple- mented with a lotion of multum in parvo, or
even a plaster of nil desperandum placed over
the seat of pain. No professor in the Universi- ty of Pennsylvania, Jefferson College or Hahn- emann College, valuing bis reputation, would advise for a severe case of strabismus such a
make-shift as veni, vidi, vici; yet even that is resorted to as though it were a sovereign rem- edy.
In fairness it ought to be said that quid pro quo is rarely given now, but on the other hand mat calum is prescribed almost without dis- crimination in febrile diseases. Memento mori Is no?/ rarely absent from the prescriptions of a certain class of physicians of more practice than merit. Where there is a suspicion, how- ever slight, of a pulmonary trouble, vulnus im- medicabile—not found in any pharmacopoeia, from that of Valerius Cordus down—is a com- mon thing, the patient being imperfeotly sus-
tained to the end with strong drink. Worse than this, if possible, the slightest cough is drenched with verbum sat. sap. and quod erat demonstrandum; or, if these be not within easy reach, a hyperdermic injection of vox pop- uli is administered. This treatment mignt be tolerated where public speakers are suffering from acute bronchitis, demanding instant re-
lief: but in ninety per cent of the cases It is in- defensible on any accepted theory of medical practice. We do not undertake to exhaust the category of abuses, but when we say that mens sibi conscia recti is now generally rejected for a bolus of sit tibi terra levis, where there is no
worse a malady than a bad case of “hyp,” we think the enumeration may be brought to an end.
We have no desire to alarm the public; neitheL^° weZi8iit^i2!^t^*h^ho'X-

the sanctum and throwing himself into a chair. “You see I come on business. I’m the mana-

yon can for us” “To be sure,” said the D. and M. “Crow,

“Well, then,” said the D. and M., “suppose she says she is delighted to arrive at last in a

“That isn't bad,” said the angular party. “By the way, how would it do to send her across the East River Bridge?”

Church-Going Dogs. [All the Tear Round.]
One cf Milton’s biographers, asserting the non-existence of dissent in Scotland in the po- et’s time, sayB: “Not a mao, not a woman,
not a child, not a dog, not a rabbit in all Scot-
land, but belonged to the kirk, or had to pre- tend to that relationship.” Certain it is that
if not formally admitted to kirk membership, Scottish dogs have ever onjoyed privileges not
accordod to their Southern cousins. An angler asking a shepherd if a building within sight was a kirk, and remarking that if so it was a
very small one, was answered, "Na sae sma’, there’s aboon 30 collies there ilka Sabbath.’-
This recognition of canine rights of fellow-
ship has its inconveniences. An Edinburgh minister, officiating at a country kirk, could not understand the congregation keeping their seats when he arose to pronounce the boned lo- tion. He waited, but no one stirred. Then, seeing his embarrassment, and guentBg its cause, the old clerk bawled out: “Say awa\ sir, say awa'; it's joost to cheat the dowgs!” Experience had shown that the dogs took the rising of the people as the signal fur departure, and, acting upon that idea, disturbed the sol- emnity of the occasion. They had, therefore, to be checkmated by tho people keeping their seats until the blessing hal been given. Only tho other day a Wesleyan minister, much 8eandalized at the appearance of a dog at a
watch-night service in Perth, observed that the house of God was not for dogs to worship in, and insisted upon the animal being turned out; finding no response to the apneal, he was fain to leave the pulpit and do his own behest. Dr. Gntbrie would havo sympathized with the dog abettors. His companion, Bob, lying at the head of the pulpit stairs on Sundays, occupied a place nearly as conpsicuous as his master's. The Doctor may have been the minister and Bob the minister’s dog of whom the following story went the rounds. The first time the Queen went to Crathie Church a fine dog fol- lowed the clergyman up the pulpit steps to re- main reclining against the door while his mas-
ter preached. In consequence of the remon- strance of the minister iu attendance at Balmo- ral, next Sunday the parson came to church unaccompanied. Dining at Balmoral a day or
two afterward, he was surprised by his royal hostess demanding the reason of the dog s ab- sence from church. Ho explained that he had been told the dog’s presence annoyed her Maj- esty. “Not at all,” said the Queen. “Pray let him oome as usual; I wish everybody be- haved as well at church as your noble dog-

A Business Congress.
Democratic Tributes to Republican Methods—An Encouraging Contrast— The People’s Interests to be Cared For.
^Special Correspondence of the Press.) Washington, Feb. 13.
A discussion of the merits of the present Republican House of Representatives cannot
be prefaced better than by a quotation from
the last Sunday Capital, a Democratic paper which in the habit of treating Republicans and Republican measures with extraordinary severity. Says this paper:
“The zeal and intelligence that the House oommittees are displaying in their discharge of the vaiious important duties confided to them are beyond praise; and any thoughtful man who may have watched the committees during the past six years canaot fail to bo im- preesed with the radical difference botweeD the methods of a legislative body under Re- publican control and inspiration, and one un-
der Democratic management. The Republi- cans legislate like men, sensible alike of duty and responsibility, investigating subjects with thorough care and digesting them with delib- erate intelligence; while the Democrats used to
go to work like boys set at an irksome task, to
get through with which was the sole desidera- tum, regardless of every other object,”
After trying to excuse the Democratic fail
ures and faults of six years’ legislation, or pre- tended efforts at legislation, this editor again breaks forth in complaint of his party. “Great questions crowded thick upon the
Domocratic majority,” he says. “But it took
the off side of every one of them. It battled
against specie resumption, but specie payment was resumed. It did ils best to stay the bus- iness boom that followed, but business boomed nevertheless.” And, once more, “Whenever a measure of public progress or enterprise came up the Democratic majority strangled or
smothered it. Whenever true insight into the material needs of the body politic and intelli-
gent conception of tne relations between the
people and the law-making power were re.
qnired, the Democratic majority sought to conceal its lack of idem under the hue and
cry of an investigation—ending generally in
the discovery of something that Democrats did not want to find.”
The picture drawn by this indignant Demo- crat is one which a great many other sorrowful Democrats are now contemplating. With fine opportunities to signalize their advent to
power in Congress by assisting the business
"boom,” instead they set to work inventing obstacles to progress, and wasting precious time in discussing frivolous objects for the
purpose of making political capital. And the
fact he states that the present Congress is a
body devoted to business is one of great so-
lemnity to the average Democrat who sees in
it a long lease of power to the Republican party. The Democratic editor voices the senti"
ment of many of his faith, when he says, all
the time showing his teeth at tho Republican party:
“Little as we love the Republican party, great as are its faults and terrific as have been its errors or its crimes in the past, it must be credited with the one merit of keeping its brains at the front. If in the future the Re- publican party will be as generous as it is in- telligent and as benevolent as it is shrewd, the people whom it has wronged and. oppressed icUlforget the vast and rally to its standard for the promise of the future
A plain hint at revolt from Bourbonism is
a thing of the past and, this is echoed far and
wide. This is a business Congress. It has seemed
to go slowly in legisl atiou, and circumstancos have forced it to that attitude in many things. The Republicans have a small majority in the
House and the Senate is tied. Therefore re-
forms in the methods of the past six years of
Democracy must lag or seem to do so. But -«- uuiialaliQii is much farther along than i. has been at this nme ror j. ^ appropriation bills are much farther towards
perfection than they have been on any first session of a Democratic Congress, and this not. withstanding many other equally important matters have takcu the time of those who do the work of committees. In fact, all the im- portant business is being perfected in commit- tee, and when the whole is seen in the history of this session, it will appear to good advant- age. The apportionment of Representatives Is one of the greatest objects, and that will be sent to the states in a few days, in a form that no party can object to. The Republican poli- cy la to admit fullest and Ireoet diacauivu upou subjects which the Democrats sought to force upon Luo <1.. .. .oujecuon-
Among the more necessary work of the ses-
sion is the in- 'ligation of Democratic election methods in > a South, and these cases are
well advanced. The result will be many new
evidences of Democratic iniquity, and unfit- ness for frqe government. The cases in which Democrats will certainly be unseated to give place to men who were honestly elected are
two in South Carolina, one in Florida, one in Alabama and one in Mississippi. Dibble and Fillman misrepresent tbe South Carolina dis- tricts that were purposely lormed by Democrats to contain all the Republi- can majorities, and a Democratic Congress has heretofore allowed these to be stolen by their tissue ballot and ball dozing adherents. Each district has more than five thousand Republi- can majority, and Mr. E. W. M. Mackey and Robert Smalls, (the gallant colored man of Rebellion memory,) will take the seats tbat belong to them. Mr. Horatio Bisbee claims Finley’s seat from Florida on similar grounds, and he has a strong case from the fact that in the last Democratic congress, upon the same testimony as be has now, he was seated, although the Bourbons nnjustly kept him out uDtil tbe very last moment of the session. Mr. W M. Lowe will succeed Wheeler in Alabama and Mr. J. R. Lynch (colored) will succeed Chalmers of Mississippi, thus disposing of two very disreputable rebel generals. The men to be seated are Republicans except Mr. Lowe, who is a Greeubacker, and to do justice by whom the Republicans will vote just as solidly as for one of their own members.
One of the subjects, of interest to all indus- trial people, which the Republican legislators are studying utton is the means of reviving our
commerce, and, as a necessary result, extend- ing our markets abroad and improving tbe profits of the farmers and mechanics. This is one of the subjects which, now to their own grief the Democratic per- sistency neglected doing their six years of Congressional existence. What forms this subject of relief and advancement will finally take it is now impossible to tell, but something will be done surely by this Congress to help along the prosperity which is non as wide as the country.
Equally advantageous will be the Republi- can duty of staying the hands of the Demo- cratic mischief makers, who are clamoring for the abolition of protection to home industry, in the interest of British freetraders. There may and possibly will be reforms in the reve- nue system and reductions in taxation—very large reductions tho Republicans promise and will make—but they will be in a line quite dif- ferent from destroying the protection which now BUrronnds the New England farmer and artisan. They will be in the line of fostering all onr domestic interests. J. W. B.

Excitement in Chicago Markets. Chicago, Feb. 15.—Excitement in the mark-
et continued to-day. Wheat opened on change at 120 5-8, immediately adnanced to 21 3-4 as
quickly fell to 120 5-8, and during the first hour fluctuations between 20| and 21 were ropoaten every f>w m nu e Tie biars were using every means iu their power to break prices, while the bulls showed increased courage and strength. Corn was firm, mess pork fell to 40 cents per barrel, lard and short rib sides 15 to 20 cents per 100 pounds, but most of the loss was recovered. Margins are being called at the rate of SI per barrel on pork and 50 cents
per 100 ponnds on lard and meats and 5 to 10 cents on wheat.
Later.—Very active trading on ’Change to- day and conditions panicky. Wheat declined heavily, the closing being 4 to 5 cents below yesterday and the lowest price for the day be- ing C cents below yesterday’s highest. Corn was about 2 cents lower, oats a cent off and provisions indescribably irregular with a de- cline for the day of about 31.25 on pork and 60 cents on lard. There has not been so excit- ing a day on ’Change for over a year. The chief cause of the decline was the announce- ment of the failure of W. O. Kenyon & Co., a commission firm which has a very extensive trade. The extent of failure cannot be ascer- tained, but it has oaptured a very large num- ber of operators and is doubtless for a heavy amount. E. W. Fisher, dealer in oats, also suspended. His liabilities are probably 315,- 000 to 820,000. _

Coroner’s Verdict on the World Building
Fire. The jury of inquest in regard to the deaths
caused by the fire in the old World building roturned a verdict to-night in which they find that tho flue from which the fire originated was defective and improperly constructed: that the elevator shaft recently constructed was a most efficient agent in distributing the flames; that O.

inspection of the building by the authorities; and censuring the carpenter of the building for neglecting promptly to give an alarm when the fire broke out. The jury also com- mended Foreman McDaggert and Charles Wright for bravery in rescuing life and they deprecated the practice of having small offices in large buildings divided by wooded parti- tions.

THE STAR ROUTES.
Arguments in the Straw Bond Cases ✓ Concluded.
Washington, Feb. 15.—The closing argu- ment in the preliminary proceedings in the straw bonds star route cases began to-day in the police court. Col. BUss in opening for the government, contended that all that was nec- essary to be established was the existence of such facts as would justify the magistrates in sending the cases to a jury and that the decis- ion of tho coart must be influenced by the acts and not by the intent of the defendants. He closed by asking that the accused be sent to the grand jury. Hines, counsel for the de- fense, in replying said it was fair to assume the defendants having faithfully and honestly performed the service they contracted for in the past would continue so to do in the future. In the course of his remarks Hines intimated that the prosecution was the outgrowth of pri- vate malice. After remarks by Judge Wilson and Totten for the defense the court announced that its decision wouiu ue renuerea to-morrow.

ty estimates covering 7 1-10 of the entire field of production or 606 counties. The December return represented but 43 per cent, of the cot- ton area. The inquiry calling for a compari- son with last year’s product was directed first to show the result on a basis of equal areas; second, the modifications by increase or de- crease of acreage. Returns of area make the increase of acreage in 1881 about 5 per cent, and the total acreage about 16,500,000 acres. The table bv States is soon to be published. Returns of losses by cotton caterpillar indicate an aggregate loss of about 300,000 bales. The heaviest losses in Florida are 14 per cent.; Louisiana, 11; Alabama, 10. Very small losses occurred in other States and none in Missouri and Virginia.

LOST AT SEA.
Wreck of a Steamship from Porto Rico for New York.
BOAT SWAMPED AND SEVERAL
LIVES LOST.
New Yoke, Feb. 15.—Ship Glenmorag ar-
rived t<Mlay from Calcutta and reports Feb. 11th, lat. 31.51, ion. 73.10, fell in with a boat containing eleven of the crew and two passen- gers of the steamer Bahama, Porto Rico for New York. She took them on board and brought them to this port.
JohnS Scott, one of the cabin passengers saved, makes the following statement:
The steamer Bahama, Capt. Atwood, left St. Johns, Porto Rico, on the 4th of February for New York. February 9th a heavy squall was encountered accompanied iby much thun- der and lightning and heavy cross sea. On the 10th a heavy north-north-west gale was met which lasted one hour. The wind then sud- denly shifted south-south-west, blowing a hur- ricane with a heavy cross sea running. The Bahama Bliipped large quantities of water which carried away two large life-boats, swept the decks, put out the tires and threw the ves-
sel on her beam ends. At 4 p. m. concluded to abandon the ship and two boats were lowered. The captain's boat contained seventeen per- sons. It was |swamped shortly after leaving the ship. Two or three persons were seen to swim back to the vessel, but it is impossible to tell if they succeeded in getting on board as
the two boats were so heavily loaded. At 5 p. m. we sighted a bark, but do not think she saw us. On the 11th at 12.30 p. m. we saw a
ship which proved to be the Glenmorag and were taken on board.
WALL STREET.
A Very Bearish Feelinir—Railroad Notes— The European Situation—The Hannibal and St. Joe Controversy. New Yoke, Feb. 15.—Wall street reports
state that the bulls were very much discour- aged yesterday, and a good deal of long stock was thrown overboard. Commission houses were very bearish in their letters last night. The feeling up town last evening was intensely bearish.
It is said that both the New York Central and the Pennsylvania companies are endeavor- ing to secure the Rochester and Pittsburg line.
The New York, Chicago & St. Louis Com- pany is understood to have refused an offer of 20 for the common and 35 for the preferred stock, the purchase to be at least a controlling interest. Arrangements are understood to be pending whereby the Wabash road will fur- nish tho St. Louis branch of the New York Chicago and St. Louis road.
The leports of foreign troubles yesterday ap- pear to have been unfounded. None of the foreign bankers had unfavorable news. On the contrary they said that American gold ar-
riving at London had produced a good effect. Money was easy and the settlement to-day would be made without difficulty. A London house bought considerable Erie in this market yesterday. German houses reported nothing doing in stocks, but said that Amsterdam was
buying bonds. Tbe report that Amsterdam lias been selling Denver is strenuously denied* Parties in interest claim that only forty shares of Denver have been transferred for Amster- dam account since last May.
It is reported that the Union Pacific Com- pany has signified its willingness to consoli- date with Central Pacific on the basis of 125 to 100.
The earnings of the Scioto Valley road in- creased sixty per cent, the first week in Febru- ary.
Vice President Duff, of the Hannibal & St. Joseph road says the reception of the decision in Missouri is really as favorable as it is alleged to be unfavorable to that company, as it leaves the amount in controversy between the State and the company a comparatively small one. The State issued $3,000,000 six per cent, bonds in aid of the road. The road has paid the State $8,000,000. The road claims that the use of the $3,000,000 by the State offsets the pay- ment of interest on tbe State bonds. The State claims that it offsets it, and to the extent of the interest actually earned on the $3,000,- 000. The question thus becomes merely one of difference of interest. The State has a large amount of six per cent. 5-20 bonds outstanding now subject to call, or liable to be called, with- in a short time. The Missouri Legislature last winter passed a law for the purpose of appro- priating $3,000,000, that law requiring the State officials to apply it in redeeming the 5 20 bonds. The $3,000,000 can thus be used, the greater part immediately, and the remainder in a Short time, in extinguishing the six per cent, in- debtedness of the State. Mr. Duff supposes the State uffioai will now, of course, comply with their own law, and that there will be no claim against the Hannibal & St. Joseph rail- road, except for the differences of interest in the meantime.
The Mexican National Construction Com- pany received yesterday official despatches from Mexico from Gen. Trevino, dated at Sa- lado, Feb. 4tb, in which it was announced that in a few days trains would be running to Sa- lado, which is forty-five miles from the Kio Grande river.

XLVIIth Congress-lst Session
SENATE. Washington, Feb. 15.
Mr. Miner, of California, made an adverse report upon a Senate bill to confer positive in place of relative rank on officers of the navy engineer corps. Indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Jackson introduced a bill, presented by Mr. Morgan in the last Congress, for the relief of the book agent for the Methodist Episcopal church South. It appropriates $150,000 ia compensation for property connected with the publishing house of said book agent in Nash- ville, which was taken or destroyed by the United States in 1804 or at any other time.
A resolution offered by Mr. Call was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, direct- ing the Secretary of State to open negotiations with Spain for remitting the tax on cattle im- ported into Cuba from the United States.
A resolution reported by Mr. Platt, from the Committee on Contingent Expenses, to pro- vide a messenger for each of the committees on finance, post offices, pensions, claims, ju- diciary and engrossed bills, was discussed, and the district committee was included in the res- olution
Mr. Morgan offered and advocated an amend- ment providing a messenger for each Senator who is not chairman of a committee.
Mr. Van Wyck thought some of the commit- tees did not need clerks, being already pro- vided.
After further discussion, participated in by Messrs. Allison, Butler, Brown, Platt and Call, the amendment of Mr. Morgan was rejected, and the resolution as modified on motion of Mr. Platt was passed. (It directs the appoint- ment to be made by the Sergeant-at-Arms upon selections made by the committees with certain provisions regarding pay.)
The Senate then took up and temporarily passed over the regular order the anti-polygamy bill, and Mr. Call, on loave, addressed the Sen- ate in support of his proposed amendment to the pension arrears resolution declaring in favor of pensions to survivors of Indian wars prior to 1845.
At 2.25 o’clock the anti-polygamy bill was taken up, and the amendment proposed by the Committee on Judiciary was read and agreed to upon the fifth section, which authorizes the President to grant amnesty to classes of offen- ders guilty before the passage of the act on such conditions as he shall think proper.
The question was raised by Mr. Hoar as to whether the President could constitutionally pardon whole classes of offenders against a par- ticular law upon such conditions as he may prescribe, and was debated by Messrs. Ed- munds, Bayard and Garland.
The section as amended and the remaining committee amendments were then adopted. The eighth section provides for the conduct of elections, registration and canvassing of voters, etc., in the territory until provision for the same is made by the legislative assembly pro- vided for in the bill by appointees of a board of five persons to be appointed by the Presi- dent and confirmed J>y the Senate, all of whom cViull Vint momK/iro nf nnn nnlifinal novtv
etc. This amendment provoked objection on the part of Messrs. Brown and Call.
Mr. Bayard argued the general question of re-establishling the subverted form of republi- can government in the territory in which a
theocracy had arisen. He maintained if Con- gress could orovide for casting and counting of votes in the organization of a territory it coaid as legitimately do. so as a met ns of restoring the original form of government. It could either do this or repeal the law for the creation of the territory.
Mr. Vest said the seventh section of the bill, declaring polygamists ineligible to office or suf- frage, proposed to take away the rights of citi- zens of the United States for past offences without trial or conviction for an offence. He was opposed to polygamy, but in his abhor- rence of it he would be careful not to strike down the safeguard of personal liberty.
Mr. Garland said it was complained that the provisions of the bills were severe and rough, but he would say they were intended to be se- vere and rough, and they were nevertheless sanctioned by precedents and organic law. In Utah there was that which set at naught the mandates of Congress, and reliable reports have been made to the House of Representa- tives that unless a new form of government was substituted for the one existing there phy- sical force would be necessary to execute the laws. Let it go to the world, he added, that Congress recognizes an organization of terri- tory founded upon the theory that one man is inspired by God for certain purposes, ana we
may burn our statute books and give full li- cense to the inspirations of Guiteaus every- where.
Mr. Bayard followed in reply to Mr. Vest, and the discussion was continued by Messrs. Edmunds and Jones of Florida.
It was arranged that the measure should be proceeded with to-morrow, and the debate closed at 5.30. Adjourned.
HOUSE.
The Speakor laid before the House a letter from the secretary of the treasury, transmit- ting the names of 24 persons who have died by reason of wounds or injuries received or dis- ease contracted in the line of duty in the life saving service since tbs organization of that service. Referred.
The morning hoar having been dispensed with, the House resumed consideration of the apportionment bill, and Mr. Herbeit of Ala- bama continued his speech in ’opposition to any increase in the membership of the House.

college. The bill was a blow against New En- gland, and in the name of that section he pro- tested against it.
Mr. Joyce argued in favor of an amendment offered by himself and which is still pending, fixing the Representatives at 305, asserting it did justice to every section of the country. Other members spoke in support of various amendments to the bill and an arrangement was agreed to whereby at the conclusion of one hour’s debate to-morrow the previous question shall be considered as sec- onded, and voting upon various propositions begun. Vote will also be allowed upon the question as to whether the old or new method of apportionment shall be adopted.
Adjourned.

England’s Foreign Policy. London, Feb. 15.—In the Commons this af-
ternoon, on a report on the address iu reply to the royal speech, Sir Charles Dilke, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, replying to at- tacks on the foreign policy of the Government, denied that any French troops had been pre- pared for embarkation to Egypt.

Oregon Pacific Railroad
FIRST MORTGAGE, LAND GRANT GOLD BONDS?
The Oregon Pacific Railroad Company offers for sale a limited amount of its twenty-year bonds bear- ing six per cent, interest payable semi-annually in
New York or London on tbe first days of April and October.
It is confidently believed that no railroad bond baa been ottered on the market in years having ele- ments of security so satisfactory to the conservative nvestor as these, and the fact that the great bulk of the issue has been absorbed by investors of the high- est rank for sound judgment, reputation and solid
wealth, confirms this belief. Tbe price of the bonds is par and accrued interest,
accompanied by a bonus of thirty per cent, of the
fully paid capital stoek of the company (three shares with each $1,000 bond), the company reserv-
ing the right to advance the price Or withdraw tbe bonus in whole or in part without notice.
Tbe company claims and will demonstrate that from existing business, urgently demanding relief, its net revenues, after all fixed charges are paid, will exceed 20 per cent, per annum on its capital stock.
Full information at the offices of the company, 16 and 18 Exchange Place, New York.

Wednesday.—Robert Waterhouse vs. Abbie O.
Donnell. Action upon a promissory note for $160 dated October 25th, 1876, signed by the defendant who was then Abbie O. Curtis.
Defense—that the note was given in part payment of a pair of horses, harnesses and wagon purchased by defendant's brother, Farnham, and plaintiff promised and aereed that the brother should pay this note in suit by labor lor him, and that* the la- bor was performed and the note thereby paid.
The plaintiff claimed that there was no snch agreement, that Farnham and he look a job at Baldwin that winter as partners, and that the part- nership matters between them have been settled. Farnham testified that there was no partnership about the job, but he worked for Waterhouse, and that Waterhouse told him this Curtis note was paid by his labor; that in their final settlement ot mu-
tual accounts this Curtis note was included. The plaintiff denied that the note was considered or al- luded to in the settlement.

The Fostelle Comedy Company will appear at Portland Theatre to-night in Charles Fos- telle’s comedy in four acts; of MrB. Parting, ton. The Boston Globe says: “Mr. Charles
Fostelle, in his new creation of Mrs. Partington drew a large house last night at the Howard Atheneum. This pleasing play, both as to
character and plot, has every right to be called a true comedy. The first act opens in Mrs. Partington’s kitchen on washing day and laughter commences and continues, increasing in the third act, when Fostelle produced some of his specialties, among them his stump speech Oil wuuiau o UgmO) nuicu iowucu naiui aj;
plause. The old fashioned dance was immense. On the whole the play is a good One.
The following is the cast: Mrs. Partiogton, the “Widow,”
everybody knows her,.Chas. Fostelle. Ike, her “irrepressible son,” the ori-
giml imp of mischief. Master Dunn. Sarah, her hired help..Jennie Darrage Clara Hastings, her niece visiting
irom Boston, a lily in Bloom,.Belle Kemick Jonathan Liftquick, the Judge, sound

The Portland Minstrels will be at the thea- tre to-morrow evening. The sale of seats be- gan yesterday morning. They will give a good entertainment and should be well patronized.
Mrs. Florence Rice Knox is to be the con- tralto of the Patti Opera Company. At the auction sale of seats for the series of perform- ances soon to be given in New York a large sum was realized in premiums.
Miss Henrietta Beebe has made a pronounc- ed success in England. Sir Michael Costo and other eminent musicians have accorded to her a very flattering recognition.
Dances. The tickets are selling fas for the ball to be
given by the High School Cadets complimen- tary to the Bath Cadets next Tuesday evening^ The drill will be remarkably good, for the
boys are hard at work. Collins’ fall hand will
provide admirable muBic. To-morrow evening the .ball of the Dnion
Rowing Association at City Hall, with muBic
by Chandler, will draw a large and brilliant
party. Thejball to',be given by the Ancient Order of
Hibernians at City Hall next Monday evening should put a handsome sum in the treasury of the land League.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, gave a
very brilliant ball at City Hall, last evening. There was a very large party in attendance. Collins’ fall band furnished delightful music, and, under the directorship of Mr. Owen, sup-
ported by a full corps of aides, a long Order o* dances was thoroughly enjoyed. The ladies furnished a sumptuous collation. The poor wili probably reap a handsome sum from the
treasury of the society. There will be a masquerade party at Brown’s
Hall, Cumberland Mills to-morrow night Every one mu3t be masked prior to intermisl sion.
The Mechanic Blues will give a grand mas-
querade party at City Hall, Washington’s birthday night. Chandler’s full band will pro- vide the orchestra, and Littlefield the costumes. The two front rows in the gallery will be re-
served and sold at Stockbridge’s. The Blues have attained quite a reputation for the bril-
liancy of their masquerade partios in latter
years, and this will probably prove ho excep- tion. __

At the meeting of the White Mountain Club last evening Major John M. Gould gave an ac-
count of his season’s work on Mt. Speckle, of Graltonland in the eastern part of Oxford county.*
W. F.-Crawford, recently appointed special agent of the Post Office Department, has cov ered himself with honor by detecting and ar-
resting in the act a mail robber at Laredo, Texas. Over 800 valuable letters have been missed in that section, and the capture of one of the thieves on the Mexican border and bringing him away in safety from the lawless bands which infest that locality, shows Mr. Crawford to be the right man in the right place.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The President sont to the Senate yesterday the name of George Gifford, of Maine, as con-

tention to the fact we are again requested to state that the streets therein named, in our ad- vertising columns, have, by order of the Board of Mayor and Aldormen, been renumbered ac-

forthcoming city directories will follow the new numbering in giving the residences of
people on these streets, so that those who neg- lect to affix the proper numbers to their build- ings, besides being liable, will find that their old numbers will not correspond with those as-
signed them in tho directories.

A correspondent of the Transcript at Mari- etta, Ohio, sends a notice of the death of Mrs.
Mary Ann Stephens, formerly of this city, and
adds this note which will prove of interest t°
old Portlanders: Mrs. Stephens, the notice of whose death I
enclose, was born in Canada. Her maiden name was Murray, and she was the daughter of an English officer. In early life she mar-
ried Nolcina, an Italian music teacher, and for a while lived in Portland. I think Nolcina had his office over Stephen Gale’s drug store, say from 1838 to 1843, when I was a boy on my fa- ther’s farm on the Cape.
Arrival of the Circassian. The steamer Circassian, Capt. Smith, of the
Allan line, arrived at this port last evening from Liverpool the 4th and Queenstown the
5th inst. She had a full cargo and brings nine
cabin and ninety-four steerage passengers. Her
trip wa% devoid of special interest. She took
some heavy gales and passed a quantity of
field ice. She touched at Halifax, leaving that port for Portland at 12.15 p. m. Tuesday last. We are indebted to the purser for files
of English paper-
Roller Skating Rink. A grand combined exhibition, complimen-
tary to the rink instructors, will be given this
evening. The gentlemen in charge have
worked hard to please their patrons the past season, have given them some excellent enter-
ments and deserve a large house to-night.
Composition Writing Again. Me. Editoe:—In to-day’s Pbess is publish-
a letter from Prof. Northrop of Yale College, written in answer to a request iraiu jx. u-
for his opinion of the opposing positions taken
by A. B. M. and myself in regard to the
phrase “composition writing” as used by'A. B. M. in the heading of a letter addressed
to his class in English composition. This
letter of tho Yale professor is a curious com-
position. It was evidently written in great haste, and without a clear understanding of
the question involved. For example, the pro- fessor begins with two contradictory sentences,
as follows: "Your position [that is A. B M’oj is correct. It is true that composition, as the
act of composing, is often sufficient of itself, as stated by your critic.” According to Web- ster’s dictionary (1.) Composition is the act of
composing, or forming a whole or integral by placing together and uniting different things, parts or ingredients. In specific uses, the in-
vention or combination of the parts of any literary work or discourse, or of a work of art; as tho composition of a poem,, or a piece of music. (3) That which is formed by putting together or composing; as a chemical, literary, musical composition, or the like.” The defini- tions of tho term given in Worcester’s dictionary are substantially the same as those last quoted. These two are the only meanings which can be attached to the word composition when used in a literary sense. A. B. M. used the word in its literary sense, consequently it must mean either the act of composing or the product of the act. If he employed the word in the latter sense, then in
the phrase “Composition Writing,” composi- tion meaning that which is formed by putting together, that is, the thoughts and ideas of the
person being previously arranged and combined ready to be placed on paper, the word writing may imply the present act of placing raid
thoughts and ideas on paper. In this sense
“composition writing” can mean only tho kind of handwriting in which the product of
previous mental action is set down on paper or
other material. But the body of A. B. M.’s letter to his class in English composition makes it plain that he is striving to improve not the
caligraphy of his class but the members knowledge of the art of composing, or “com-
position,” used in the other meaning given it
by Webster, as quoted above. This being granted, and it cannot be truth-
fully denied, the word “composition” express- es the very idea A. B M. wished to express by “composition writing,” consequently “writs
iDg” which only repeats the idea, being used intransitively, is tautological.
In his letter, Prof. Northrop further re-
marks: ..
“But a composition is the product of the act, and the scholar has to write compositions and
read compositions. This use and this sense of the word are recognized by writers who have any occasion to say anything about it, from Whately to Hill. Composition writing is therefore correct. President Noah Porter agrees with me in this.”
President Noah Porter and Prof. Cyrus Nor- throp are mistaken when they defend tho ex-
pression composition writing by giving Whate- ly as authority. They cannot find in any text book or other published work of Bishop Whately authority for the phrase composi- tion writing. He was never guilty of using such an awkward and|tautological expression. Let the phrase be quoted from flWhatelv’s .I,.,rta if it. can be found.

An Apartment Hotel.
Mr. Editor:—Your article In a late edition
of your paper upon the need of an apartment hotel in this city expressed the feelings and
wishes of a large number of your readers. That
such a building is needed cannot be denied by any one at all familiar with the subject, and
that it would pay handsomely is a fact quite beyond question with those who have investi-
gated the matter. A late article in a New
York paper states that the demands for such homes as are offered in a hotel of this kind in- creases each year. Two hundred sixty-six such buildings were erected last year at an ex-
penso of nearly ten millions, and that they are
proving to be the best of investments paying over ten and in many cases twenty per cent.
Who will be the first to reap the benefit of such an investment in this city? P.
Limington. Parties are in this section buying apples for
the Chicago market. The warm wind and rain of Monday settled
the snow here at least a foot, which during the storms of the past week had gro vn to the
depth of nearly four feet on a level. The conference consisting of delegates from
the various churches of the Parsonsfield quarterly meeting assembled with the Free
Baptist church at South Li mington on Wednes-
day, the 8th inst., at 10 o’clock a. m. Mr. A.
Hilton of South Parsonsfield, clerk in the chair. Rev. T, F. Maxim of South Limington was made moderator. The time from 10 a. m.
to 11 a. m. was taken up in routine business, reports of churches aud.coi.esponding messen-
gers to other quarterly meetings. At 11 a. a.
there w»s preaohing by Eev. Chas. Bean ol Buxton from Isaiah 43:10 assisted by Rev. C. E. Blake of Anson. At 1.30 p. m. the con-
ference met for further business. Reports of corresponding messengers received and choice of corresponding messengers to other bodies. At 2 p. m. there was preaching by Rev. E. Blake of Steep Falls from Mat. 28:8, assisted by Rev. J. Q. Adams of South Parsonsfield. At C 30 p. m. preaching by Rev. J. Q. Adams of South Parsonsfield from Mat. 11:29, assisted by Rev. J. M. Pease of West Buxton, followed by a social meeting.
Tuesday, the 9th inst., a social meeting con-
vened at 9 a. m., conducted by the moderator. At 10 a. m. the conference met for unfinished business. At 10.30 a. m. preaching by Rev. C. E. Blake of Anson from 2 Cor. 5, 17-12, as- sisted by Rev. J. M. Bailey of Saco. At the close of the service a collection was taken up in the interest of the missions. At 1.30 p. m.
a woman’s meeting was held and a woman a
missionary society organized with Mrs. T. F. Maxim as president and Mrs. J. M. Hopkinson as secretary and treasurer. At 2 p. m. preach- ing by Rev. J. M. Pease of West Buxton from Job. 21:15, assisted by Rev. Orin Pitts of Deer- field, N. H. At the close of th6 services the conference adjourned without day.
The session was one of much interest and the attendance large especially considering the bad condition of the roads. R-

She Changed the Packs.
Heartless Cheating at Cards Practiced by
a Mischievou Girt
[Salt Lake Tribune.] Some of the old saints who can’t bug the
young girls of Zion in balls, and have abol-
ished round dances in consequence, have now
invented a new kind of pedro, which gives them more of a chance. They start card par- ties at the evening socials, and whenever any-
body catches anybody else's pedro, the party winning has the right to kiss the other five
times. The game is played with an equal div-
ision of the sexes, and it is rare fun for tho old
elders of Israel. The other evening old Bishop fixed up a pack of cards with nine pedros
and started a game right in among some of the
prettiest girls of the ward. It happened, how- ever, that the girls anticipated his little game and had a pack already without any pedros in. Tbev rung in the cold deck on the old fellow and "started the game. The old fellow made some big bids expecting to capture some pe- dros, and got set back on the board every time. All this time the girls kept exclaiming, “Oh, ain’t this a nice game: so exciting.’’ After playing an hour the old fellow didn’t see the color of a single pedro, and. tho glances and giggles of the girls caused him to suspect that the daughters of Ziou were rather getting the best of him. He finally got so far off the board that he was, comparatively speaking, out of sight, and finally gave up the place to a
young man who was seated near bv watching the game. In a twinkling the girls transposed the packs again, and for the next two hours the sounds of smacks that young man won could be heard all over the room. The old bishop who began to drop on himself was tho maddest man in all the land, and is now put- ting up a job to find the girls who changed those packs and cat her off from the church
