For almost an hour Monday morning the tlmo of Vie Houm was consumed In tho Consideration of a resolution to which there waa not the sllglitoot opposition In any quarter, and v htcb was Cnaily adopted without objection. It ws* one calling upon Ihu erocutlve departments for Information as to tho number aud mnouiitof wiirclulrns allowed or disallowed by such departments.

In tho Senate tho anti-option bill wasdebatod Tuesday for nearly tbr«o hours and then weilt over without netkm. Sweeping denunciations of tho measuro were made by Senators lb ar (Mass.), Vest (Ma) and Platt (Cblfb.). as being In litter contravention of 'tho constitution df the United ftdtes and In violation of tho rights of the Ktates.

The following bills were passed: For the nlmndonment of the Fort Brldgor military reservation In Wyoming, House bill to authorize the construction of bridges across the niawassce, the 'I ennescee. and the Clinch rivers. In the Btato of Tennessee. In the House, a few private •measures wore passbd. and the Committee on Judiciary having, under a prior order, 'the right of way, called up some hills of secondary Importance. The one of most ' public Interest was that providing for punishment of offenses by passengers on the high seas, which was passed. On motion of 'Mr. Chlpman (Mich’) a resolution was agreed to making (rrovlslon for the Joint meeting of the two houses of Congress on Wednesday, Feb. 8, to connt the electoral votes The Senators gathered at the Capitol early Wednesday morning, conferred together, and decide*) that the Senate should adjourn Immediately after the reading of the Journal, as a token of respect to the memory of cx-President Hayes. The House, as a mark of respect to the memory of the dead, also adjourned. In the Houso Thursday a bill was passed to meet the requirements of the Interstate commerce law relative to the testimony of witnesses. Mr. Wise (Va) called op a Sinate bill concerning testimony I t criminal cases growing out of the Interstate commerce act with a substitute providing that no person shall be excused from attending or testifying before the Interstate Commerce Commission on the ground that the testimony or evidence may tend to criminate him. Tho substitute was agreed to, and the hill as amended was passed without objection. Mr. Boatner (La) offered an amendment requiring all railway common carriers to accept from connecting lines loaded cars or tratus to be hauled to the point of delivery at a rate not exceeding that they charge for similar service over their own lines.

Tho new Columbian postage stamp waa vigorously attacked In the Senate Saturday by Mr. Wolcott, of Colorado. After transacting routine business. Mr. Wolcott called up tbe joint resolution Introduced by him some days ago to discontinue tbs sale of tho Columbian postage stampa He was at a loss to understand, he said, why those stamps had ever been manufactured. He noticed that the Postmaster General suggested In his annual report that he expected to receive $1,503,060 extra profits out of their sale to stamp collectors. That was a trick that might, suit some of the little Central American states when they were a few thousand dollars “shy." but the United States was too btg a country to unload a cruel and unusual stamp upon stamp collectors. The feature of the session of tbe House was the consideration of tho national quarantine bilk It was-ushered In by an eloquent . BDeech from Congressman Itayner, of Maryland, who depicted the danger which was Imminent to the people of this country •from unrestricted immigration, aud who urged upon the House tho necessity of agreeing to some national law which would protect the United States from an Invasion es Its most deadly enemy—cholera.

“Qnnntlc*.** A writer in tho Bt. Jamt * Oeutth says that Professor Sylvester tolls an admirably illustrative story about I one of his students at tha John Hop- * k.Vs University: | "This aspiring youth wan tori to be- | come a mathematician; and he lmd heard that nt tho topmost summit of the ! mathematical tree stood a mysterious subject known as the doctrine of ‘qnanI tics,’ a calculus of calculi, only to be 1 grasped by the furthest stretch of the abntrtiot mathematical faculty. So lit; came and aekod to be taught ‘qunnttcn.’ It was in vain that ProfcAsor Hylvestor suggested simpler preliminary geometrical and algebraioal studies; the young man wanted to learn ‘qualities,’ and nothing but ‘qnantica’ world lfe havo.” This anecdote is intended to show that Americans are in to get on, and nre | not disposed to submit in patience to i tho training requisite for the highest success. This is true. It is the fault i of hopeful, eager youth who see groat ' opportunities opening on every side,-, for fame, for fortune, for usefulness, for en- | joymeut. They aim at the Itest without , always attaining to it. They see tho ; rapid advancement wliioh civilized society has made in tho domain of a new j continent, and they unconsciously participate in Uve rapid movements of tho times in which they live. How could it j bo otherwise in a land like this—espeI daily if it 'be true that this century (ns Dumas, the French physicist, has said) is to Ins known in history “as the ago of elcctrioity.” * * * i W« do not know whether the story altovft Professor Sylvester is true or not. | but it bears the mark of verisimilitude, Y<rt, after all, it is no discredit to the : country or the youth that there is such i «,pro-eminent professor of mathematics 1 Among us, and that his presence is in--1 -spiring even to those who are but tyros. ; : We can tell a story which is suggested . | by that of the Bt. Jamet. A few years 1 ago a young schoolmaster of Pennsylvania, sharing, though more wisely than ! the tyro, the American enthusiasm for ' tho Itest things, and especially for quan- > tics, went to Baltimore to stndy with '! Professor Sylvester, with this result: . that before long the writings of that ’ young man were used as a text-book in t the University of Cambridgde, England. ' j —Tin Centum.

Kindness. It* Own ItewanL Good and friendly conduct* may meet with an unworthy, with an ungrateful ; return; but the absence of gratitude on 1 the part of tho receiver cannot destroy the self-approbation which recompenses the giver. And we may scatter the seeds of courtesy and kindness around iU9at so HtUo expense. Gome of them | will inevitably fall on good ground, and 1 grow up into benevolence in the mind of others, and alt of tkem will bear fruit of happiness tn the bosom whence they spring. Owce blest are all the virtues always; twice blest sometimes. Preventing Future Misery. If there I*, tn this vole of tears, a mere prolific source es misery than the rheumatic twinge. We have yet t* hearef . It. People are born with a tendency to rheumatism, just as they are with one to consumption or to scrofula. Slight causes may develop this. As soon as the agonizing oemplaint manifesto itself, recourse should be had to Sostetter'a Stomach Bittors, which checks Its farther Inroads and banishes the rheumatic poison from the system. This statement tslHes exactly-with the testimony es physicians who have employed this fine blood deqrarent tn their private practice. There is also the sunplest professional nnd general testimony as to the efficacy ot the Bitters ter malaria, liver •omplalnt, eonstlpoUen, Indigestion, kidney trouble, .nervousness, and loss of appetite ana flesh. After a wet- : ting, whether followed by a oold *or not, tha Bitiers Is useful as a preventive of tho initial attack of rheumatism. Esther Too'Previous. A party at young ladies visit l the Observatory to have a peep through the monster telescope at the now comet. The astronomer conducts them to tho 'lnstrument, aud tbe ladies look through In turns. “Oh, Laura, Isn’t it charming, heavenly, enchanting, wonderful?” and so on ad libitum. After awhile the sly-astronomer observes— " Now, ladles, I wfll remove the cover and place tho instrument in position, U yon wilt allow me.” Now ts the time to treat Catarrh of long standing.

The Farmer and the drocer. A groeef would not pay a farmer the price ms a tenpound turkey for one that weighed but seven pounds. Why should a farmer pay a grocer the price of the Royal Baking Powder for a baking powder with 27 per cent less leavening strength ? The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests to be 27 per cent, stronger than any other brand on the market Better not buy the others, for they mostly contain alum, lime and sulphuric acid; but if they are forced upon you, see that you are charged a correspondingly lower price for them.

Transfer ts .Music Tl,rough Ik-uinA The following beautiful experiment, described by Prof. Tyndall, shows how music may be transmitted by an ordinary wooden rod. In a room two floors, bcnc-th hid lecl*ire-r&>m there was a piano, upon which an artist was playing, but the audlenco could not hear it. A rod of deal, with Itslowcrcnd resting upon the sounding-board of tho piano, extended uDwards through the two floors, Its upper end being exposed beforo the lecture table. Bwt still not a sonnd was heard. A violin was then placed upon the end of tho rod, which was tarown into resonance by the ascending thrills, and Instantly the music of the piano was given out In tho lecture room. A guitar and harp were substUnted fortbe violin, and with the same result The vibrations of the piano Strings were communicated to the sounding board, they traversed the long rod, were reproduced by the resonant bodies, the air was carved Into waves, and tho whole musical composition was delivered to the listening Audience.—American Register. Unexpected. ‘Lives thoro a man whe loves to listen to a long sermon? Anecdotal history records the opposite tendency. An English clergyman recently officiated for a brother clergymau. Being anxious to know what Impression he had made, he asked the clerk: “Was my discourse pltched ln too high a key? I hope I did not shoot over the heads of the people.’’ “No, you didn't do that, sir.” “Was it* suitable-theme?’’ asked the • clergyman. 1 "Yes, it was about right.” “Was it too-long?” “No, but it was long enough.” "I am glad of that, for, to tell you the truth, the other day, as 1 was get'tlng this sermon ready, my dog destroyed four or five pages, and that has made it much shorter.” “Oh, sir," said the clone, “could you let our vicar have that dog?” Only s Score of White Rhinoeerom. From a letter addressed by that renowned sportsman, Mr. Selous, to the Field, It appears that that curious and rare animal the white rhinoceros has not yet gone the way of tha dodo and the great bustard, though some have ventured to give Mr. Selous’ authority for saying that he Is extinct. It is to the occupation of Northern Mashonaland, which has kept the native hunters to the west of tho Umnlati River, that this gentleman attributes the fact that In this part a few specimens still survive the constant persecution which In less than twenty years has utterly exterminated them In every other portion of South Central Africa. “There may yet,” Mr. Selous adds, “be ten or even twenty of these animals left, but certainly not more, I think, than the latter number.” London News. A Six Years’ Series -of Crlbbage. rr “Bow the cards will run,” Is well Illustrated in a series of games of cribbage during six years played between a gentleman and his wife of Belfast. In the last six years they have played 12,800 games together, and last Monday evening they wero two games apart, that is, oue had a lead of two games in the -series, and last week they were even games. At no time during these years has either one had a lead of over seventy games, and on one evening the lady won thirteen straight games. Now after six years of playing one Is two games ahead. It all shows that luck or chance at cards evens things up in tbo long run.—Belfast Ago. The Arab Mother's Adrlee. When an Arab damsel gets married her mother gives her the following ad\Uee for securing her future happiness: "You are leaving your nest to'llvo with a man with whoso ways and habits you are ■ unfamiliar. 1 advice you to become his slave if you wish to become tho absolute mistress of your husband. Be satisfied with little; endeavor to feed him well and watch over his sleep. For hunger begets anger, and sleeplessness makes a man cross-grained. Be dumb as to his secrets; do not appear gloomy when ho ■ls merry, nor merry when he Is sad, and Allah shall bless yon." ■One Bat'a Experience Was Enough. A certain grocery In Buffalo'was overrun with rats. One day a barrel half full of molasses fell apart, or, at least, the bottom fell out and the molasses ran over the floor. In Sftme way one of the biggest rate lu the vicinity got Into tho molasses, and, bedraggled and discouraged, waa seen creeping laboriously ! away from the premises.
