WASHINGTON GETTER. [From our regular Corespondent.l Washington. March 22,18117. Nothing more daring has been done in the bouse during either of Uih autocratic reign < of Czar R>ed than i tic passing in a few hours,oi the a. propriation bills which failed to become laws at the last session of congress without reference to any sort of commit tee and practically without deba e. Just stop and think tor a moment of the audacity of this proceeding. Here is a new house, more than one-third of its mem bers being mem who did not belong to *the last house and who know no more about the items in those appropriation bil s than if they had been prepared in Africa These bills were brought for ward ami the house was ordered to pass them ‘ sight unseen,” as the boys us<d to say about swapping concealed articles, all houglr they carried many millions of the people’s money and it was admitted by some of the republicans who helped to force them through that they contained items that were questionable as well as these that were extravagant. And this remarkable assumption of authority on the part of Czar Reed had not even the excuse of urgency and lack of time to have the the bills take the regular course of such measures. There will be time to waste ifter the 31 it of this month, upon which late the McKinley tariff bill No. 2, is ;o be passed. The sole object was to reap the hands of the house tied for ;he whole of the present session, by not tppointing the regular committees, an >ther unheard of thing originated by ;he gentleman from Maine, who still lindly allows the members of the house o draw their salaries and dispose of he mqpey without consulting him, and vbo also allowed them to vote them elves extra mileage. Representative ‘ Champ” Clark of lissouri, made a red hot speech in the ouse on the new msthod of p issing ppropriauon bills, saying in part: Tne longer a man lives, the more he nds out. First and last, I’ve said ame unkind things of the U. S senate, nd poked considerable fun at it In tie days of 1881,1 was so exasperated t its conduct that, although I believe i two legislative bodies,,. I was in favor ’abolishing it. But in ttys distinuished presence I wish to retract all ie criticisms I have made against it thank God that the senate remains a rtiberative body. In this house we are ling through the most amazing, most (founding performance which ever ok place on the continent ” Speaking rectly to the republicans, Mr. Clark Id: “In the campaign last you arged 6,500,000 voters of this country

with being anarchists. You are the real anarchists. What is aiiarchj? It is running the affairs of a country with out government. You are doing just, what you charged us with wanting to do. hut let me tell you, a day of recokoring will come.”

Mr McKinley and other republicans are. much alaim-d at ttie signs of a tariff revolt in the senate. It is given out by prominent republican tenaiors, among them members of the senate finance committee, which has already taken up the subject, that the McKinley taiiff bill No. 2. will not do, and that they are going to amend it so that it will not be recogn zed It is; of course, possible that these republican senators are only making a bluff to give Mr McKinley au opportunity to offer them inducements in the shape of patronage to support his tariff bill, but the manner i'fi which the senate amended the two last tariff bills passed, is calculated to make Mr. M Kinlev believe it means something more serious Although the output of the administration pie plant continues limited in quantity, the fact is noted wi'h wrath bv those who were not original McKin leyites that, nearly all that his been dished out h is gone to the original MeKmley mm. This too, in the face of Mr McKmley’s continued reiteration of bis intention to recognize no factions of his party in making appointments. It is beginning to dawn upon the minds of some of the republicans who were not for McKinley before the S. Louis convention, thatthey are being tricked. Whenever one of them looms np as a prominent aspirant for a good position it ‘•happens” that he runs against Mr. McKinley’s very convenient rule not to appoint men who cannot get the indorsement of their entire congressional dele gation It looks very much as thdtigh the old anti-Mc’s would have to content themselves with the smaller federal offices in their states, while King Hanna takes care of “our friends.” SOMETHING TO KNOW. It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restoring the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centers in the stomach, gently stimulates the liver and kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off imparities in the blood. Electric Bitters improves the appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

Last' week we had , five coloiel gentlemen from Manatu, who gave us a minstrel show, including instrumental music, dancing, songs and ancient jokes, au i though part of it was stale,’he ; audience enjoyed it hugely. Card playing is another means of passing time here and is indulged iu nearly 1 every evening, in fact has got he chronic for want of som thing els.to do, as sailing and fishing has become tiresome.

Among them a young, pretty and intelligent widow from Georgia, who was wry much annoyed because the boat was not at her whait at the time agreed upon. When the boat did arrive the interested parties were so elated that they for seme time were telephoning through their hands asking whether they knew the Fogerty had got in, and some one suggested that the poet of the Manatu write something regarding j her arrival. The following is the doggeral produced, at least it looks like it by the bark it refers to. Rah! Rah! for the Fogerty John, That hails from the Manatu, She through the waters blue can plow As fast as a stingree. Her giant captain, Fred by name. Is a gallant sailor all the same; Who when on duty has no fear, But carries passengers from dangerclear. God bless the beautiful noble schooner, For she always gets there later or sooner, So when her last voyage she does begin, Mav she land in the harbor of heaven therein.

To dream of a gold mine in a distant part of the country and from such data to locate the claim among hundreds of others is a piece of luck that the oldest i prospector would hardly dare to hope i for.

Yet a woman living 200 miles from that El Dorado known to the outer world as Cripple Creek, following the dictates of a seven times repeated vision, has succeeded in doing this very thing, and is today operating one of the most successful mines in the whole district. Seven consecutive times did Mrs. Law dream of the same place. In each vision appeared a tall pine, towering above the surrounding forest, and a deep ravine, with a stream of silvery water winding through it, deep sunk between two mountains. These mountains seemed characteristic of the country. They were abrupt peaks rising high above the surrounding foothills, outlined gray and ! cold against a bright blue sky. But. what mountains they were, or what diI rection to take to find them, Mrs. Law had no idea. j A pleasure journey took her through • Colorado. The way was long, and the trip across the seemingly eternal flat lands had become almost intolerable, when suddenly, as the train was entering the foothills, as the glanced through the car window, there arose before her i astonished gaze, clear and distinct against ihe blue Colorado sky, the fai miliar twin mountains of her vision. As j.- the train pursued its sinudus way there 'appeared before her waking eyes the valley which she had seen so <jften in Sleep, and threrigh tkecenter flowed the silvery belt of water whicli had become so familiar. “’Tis the. land of my drdams, my El Dorado!” exclaimed Mrs. Law. ‘‘Gold ; is there, and I know it.” Her esclainaj tions excited seme comment among the , passengers, but no one thought r* rfously i about it... But some weeks later Mrs. ■ Law, accompanied ! y two frjends and ! her husband —who had ceased to be skeptical—..pot aii d cn rt buckboard in the vicinity <f what is now tire outskirts ; of Cripple Cr ek, mid with a delermina- ; ticn not to- be daunted ly difficulties i staked cut a claim m the . alley.

If the acid employed is weak, it may tie neeesi sary to add a little more. The red fumes ; formed when chemical action ’is going ♦ on disappear when the acid has done its ! work. The nitrate of silver formed during I the above operation should be poured I into a porcelain capsule and heated until a pellicle appears ph the surface, when it may be set aside to crystallize. The uncrystallized liquor should be poured from the crystals into another j vessel and heat applied until it has I evaporated sufficiently to crystallize. | Then you have nitrate of silver. Take ; an ounce of nitrate of silver, dissolve in I a quart of distilled rainwater. When I thoroughly dissolved, throw in a few crystals of hyposulphite of soda, which ' will at first form a brown precipitate, , but which becomes redissolved if enough hyposulphite has been added. There must be present a slight excess of this salt. The solution is now complete. , Take a sponge, dip it iu the solution j and rub it over the work to be plated. A solution of gold may be made in I the. same way and applied :is described, i A concentrated solution of either gold j er silver may be used for work that has 1 been worn off by applying it with a camel’s hair brush and touching it with a strip of zinc.
