DOINGS OF CONGRESfy No material progress was made in the debate on the tariff on the 3d Inst The Senate applied its attention to the cotton schedule, and didagood dealoLtidklpgand very little work. Mr. Harris amendments fixing the duty on cotton yarns of ail values at 3?" 35 and 40 per cent were serially voted down, but when Mr. Beck wanted 1 cent taken off the duty toed in the bill on the next to the lowest grade of yum, and 3 cents taken off the duty on each higher grade, the Republicans - seemed disposed to compromise, and the amendment was adopted without a division. The House spent three hours on the schedule of earthenware and glassware but did not finish it. Six manufacturers of the ware* sat in the members’ private e*}lerv jind .watched the proceedings, each having before him a printed copy of the Tariff bllL Other manufacturers or their agents were conFpicuous with Tariff bills In their bands in the front row of me public gallery, where they could readily be brought down for consultation In an emergency. The Committee of Wavs and Means, having learned something from their defeat yesterday, wisely offered to-dav to change the duty on flint and lime glass bottles and vials from Scents a pound to 35 per cent ad valorem. Plain flint and lime-pressed glassware was left at 35 per cent, ad valorem, which is the duty under the present law. The committee and the commission increased the duty on all articles of giass when cut, engraved, etched, decorated painted, colored, stained, silvered or gilded, not including plate-glass silvered or looking-glass plates, from 40 to 50 per cent, ad valorem. Thb Senate made some progress with its Tariff bill on the 6th inst, and finished the cotton schedule. There were no noticeable features in the debate, the speeches taking the widest range and covering all the Msenual features of the bill. The Senate made considerable reduction in the schedule below the recommendations of the Finance Committee. A joint resolution was introduced »r the relief of sufferers by the recent floods in Germany. Mr. Van Wyck offered a resolution of inquiry whether claim agents in Washington are practicing extortion on soldiers widows and orphans. In the House, Mr. Kelley offered a resolution providing that the Tariff bill should be taken from the committee of the whole Feb. 13 and put upon Its passage. He then proceeded to reiterate the charge that the Democrats intended to defeat the Tariff bill. Mr. Morrison replied that the bill as reported by the Ways and Means Committee was a sham intended to forestall any reduction of the tariff, instead of effecting what the people demanded—its revision in such a manner as to reduce taxes. The resolution was rejected—l 39 yeas to 202 nays. Bills were Introduced to prevent the issue of land patents to subsidized railroads not completed within the specified time, i,nd to promote commercial relations with Central and South America.

In the House, Mr. Tucker moved to reduce the duty on the cost of polished plate glass, undeUvered. above 24x30 inches square and not exceeding 64x0 inches, from 26 to 15 cents per square foot. This, together with various other amendments offered by Mr. Tucker, was lost. The consideration of the metal schedule was entered upon. Mr. Kelley, under Instruction from his oommittee, moved to increase from 60 to 75 cents per ton the duty on iron ore, including manganiferous iron ore, also the dross or residuum from burnt pyrites. Pending aotlon on Mr. Kelley’s motion, public business was suspended and appropriate resolutions upon the life and public service of the late Representatives Updegralf, of Ohio, and Hawk, of Illinois, were adopted and eulogies upon the deceased were delivered. Similar memorial services were gone throngh in the Senate. Mb. Lamab, of Mississippi, delivered a prepared speech upon the tariff question in the Senate on the 7th inst, taking strong free-trade ground. The keynote of the speech was the unnatural and abnormal development of the power of the manufacturing Interests. He said that protection meant high taxes. He wanted the people to have the matter explained to them clearly throughout the breadth of the land. There was a demand for the reduction of taxes. He wanted Congress to say to the country: “If yon want protection you must consent to pay the cost of maintaining that system, and scorn the allurement of low taxes and cheap foreign goods;" likened the power of the manufacturers to that of the slave power before the war. The latter fell with a crash because its supporters were blind to the future. The handwriting was on tho wall predicting the destruction of the glgantio monopolies which are now fastened npon the material interests of the country, and he trusted that they would yet open their eyes to see before • the inevitable ruin and downfall should come.

Mr. Bingham introduced a bill for a commission of seven members to report upon the condition and value of the plant of the various telegraph companies, and what can be done to reduoe the cost of communication. The tariff occupied the almost exclusive attention of both houses of Congress on the 9th inst. In the Senate, a motion to put jute on the free list was lost. A motion to add books, pamphlets, bound or unbound, and all printed matter not specially enumerated or provided for in the bill, engravings bound or unbound, etchings, illustrated books, maps and charts to tho free list, was agreed to. The negative vote was wholly Republican. Messrs. Van Wyck and Ingalls voted In the affirmative with the Democrats. Mr. Allison offered an. amendment, which was ordered printed, providing for refunding 90 per cent, of the duty paid on Imported salt used In curing meats exported from this country. The House continued consideration of the metal schedule, and made some important redactions from the report of the Ways and Means Committee. The duty on steel railroad bars was cut down from $lB to sls per ton: charcoal iron bars was fixed at $22 per ton, ana steel blooms at 46 per cent, ad valorem.

JUDGE LYNCH.

Be Officiates at the Execution of Ten Montana Desperadoes. Weeksville, Montana, •which has been the champion town for roughs and rustlers, is getting a thorough purging. It is at the eastern end of the western division of the Northern Pacific, and for the past month has been the scene of at least half a score of murders and outrages, and lately of nearly half as many lynchinga A gentleman from that place, who recently arrived at Butte, gives the following thrilling account of the summary manner in which the newlyorganized vigilantes of Weeksville dispense even-handed justice: Less than ten days ago, it will be remembered, Billy the Kid, well known in Butte, was captured, shot all to pieces and thrown into the river. But last Sunday was the bloodiest rea-letter day ever known at the terminus For many, weeks past a spirit of lawlessness, robbery and murder had reigned supreme at that Soint Good citizens were terrorized, and le rule of the robbers was so potent that it became unsafe for any man with a dollar in his pocket to appear on the street, even in broad daylight While under cover of the darkness a carnival of crime was conducted by the thugs and cut-throats, who so greatly outnumbered the good citizens that any attempt to arrest and punish the criminals was attended with almost certain death to those who might otherwise have been willing to aid in the enforcement of law and in visiting upon the heads of the guilty the proper penalties for its infraction. Dire alarm took possession of the business community, and it finally became evident that, unless all good men were willing to sacrifice then: property and leave, some immediate and determined effort was necessary to terminate the existing reign of terror. The courts were paralyzed ana their edicts were defied. Urged to desperation by the extremities of the eituat on, a vigilance committee was organized with great secrecy, and the accessions were soon sufficiently numerous to render its members bold enough to announce their purpose of suppressing the high-handed outrages almost hourly coming to light Once organized, no time was lost in carrying out the object of the association. On last Sunday night three desperadoes known as Ohio Dan, Blondv, Ed Enright and another man were arrested. The three first mentioned were hanged without ceremony, and the fourth was converted into a lead depository. At the “Y,” another camp two miles west of Weeksville, a similar scene was enacted, three men, names unknown, being hanged on the same tree and all at the same time. When the coach left Weeksville the bodies of two men weve still dangling ip the air from a limb of a tree, giving an early morning scene of ghastly aspect. It was also reported at the same time that the three victims at the “Y” were similarly suspended, having been thus left by the avenging vigilantes, so that there should be no possibility of a return to life. On another authority it is learned that last Monday witnessed the hanging of three more men whose high crimes had become known, and who were considered too wicked to be allowed to afflict the earth any longer with their presence

BURST BOILERS.

Seven Men at Taylorville, HI., Blown to Eternity. [Telegram from Taylorville, 111.1 A boiler explosion occurred at the file works of Peter Neu & Co., that completely wrecked the establishment and killed five men. As usual in such cases, the why and wherefore of the trouble are wrapped in nrofound mystery, nobody about the place, of course, having the least idea before it happened that it was going to happen, or being aware of any reason why it was going to occur, everything about the boiler being considered in first-class order. It was about 7:15 o’clock when the boilers burst, and had the explosion occurred a quarter of an hour before the loss of life would have been fearful, for at that time the boiler and engine rooms were filled with workmen warming up for their day’s work At 7 o’clock the machinery was set in motion, and the men scattered to their respective positions, leaving the proprietor, Mr. Peter Neu, and a few others in the engine room. At 7:15 o’clock two of the boilers let go with a shock and report that shook the country for miles around. The establishment is situated about a mile southeast of the business part of the town, and the explosion caused everybody to think an earthquake had occurred. The fact was soon made known, and In a few minutes the entire populace was on a dead rush for the scene. Arrived there a spectacle of wreck and ruin presented itself, as the entire establishment was demolished, the large timbers and heavy machinery being scattered about over a broad extent of territory. The ruins took fire, but. being taken in time, the flames were extinguished before they gained any headwav. Then the work of searching for the .victims began. It was found that five men had been killed outright, and two were fatally injured. Peter Neu, the proprietor, had both his legs broken and his head crushed beyond all semblance of a human cranium. John Jones, the engineer, was completely disemboweled, both legs broken, and the body horribly scalded and mutilated. Samuel Lenam, the fireman, was torn all to pieces, portions of his body being found in different places. John McCoUom was terribly mutilated. William Deahel had his head blown off. Chris Neu, son of the proprietor, and Tony Vandever were injured so that their death Is only a question of a few hours. Chicago, with sixty square miles of territory and 600,000,. people, has only 444 policemen, about 250 being available for night service. Hence Chicago is fast becoming the wickedest city in tile country.— New York Herald.

ELDER MOSE KITE.

[Troy Kansae Chief, Jan. 18,1883.] (T utSd to pS^T 11 triw wL° build physique; who in 1858 led ft colony of our people to Pike’s Peak; who fought the Indians on the plains and was shot through the body; who on his return here, after the rebellion, was converted and baptized by Elder Henshall, of the Christian Church at Petersburg Bottom, and became a revival preacher of celebrity all through this section. They will also recall the fact that, attacked with consumption and reduced to a skeleton, he was obliged to remove to the Bookies in the hope of saving bis lifa None thought he would succeed. Last fall, however, the editor of this paper met him at the head of the Republican river, bigger and more robust than ever. *\Mhy, I thought you had died of consumption long, long ago, Elder?" “Me? I never had consumption, man! though people thought that was what ailed me, and I thought so myself. But the dootors had sent me on a wild-goose chase after a dozen other diseases, just as fatal, and this was the wildest one of all ” The good Elder then recounted to ns in a charming vein, his many adventures to the rough and ready life he had led, "bat,” he said, "remarkable as yon may think my warlike life has been, I have a much more interesting story* to tell you." "You know what h rough, noisy fellow I used to be; and I could stand any hardship. Why, on a wager, I have knocked down an ox and a mole with my fist I have fought ruffians, border outlaws and Indians; but I was , DOGGED FOB TEAKS by a more dangerous unseen enemy that was ever getting me more completely to his clutches. I was shot by an Indian to a fight on the plains, but that wound healed readily and gave me but little trouble. After I returned to Kansas and commenced preaching I first began to give way. I had a doll feeling, acoompanied with a pain to the right side Dr. Butler, our family physician, said my liver was out of order, caused by the malaria of the bottoms. I had always had an appetite like an ostrich, bat mv digestion became seriously impaired. While on the circuit preaching, I consulted a doctor, who said I had dyspepsia After that, distressing palpitation of the heart followed, and the physician said this was caused by my indigestion and diseased liver which would probably terminate fatally. Sometimes I bad a ravenous appetite, at others none at aIL I was feverish and then chilly. My food seemed to do me no good A specialist told me I had a tape worm! Then I was troubled with unusual quantities of water and a frequent desire to urinate, which was done with difficulty and great pain. The specialist said I had a touch of the gravel, caused by use of the alkaline water of the plains. I then began to suffer severe pains to the loins and the small of the back, acoompanied with sudden attacks of dizziness, during which I had to sit or lie down, to avoid falling. I was forced to abandon TRAVELING AND PBEACHING, because I could no longer fide on horseback or trust myself out alone. I began to be seriously alarmed, and sought the advice of the most noted physician within reach. He said that my frequent horseback riding bad jolted and jarred me until the old Indian wound, which had injured my kidneys, had become inflamed. He treated me with medicines and electricity also, but gave me no permanent benefit My painful symptoms all returned I began to pough, got very thin and my legs were disagreeably numb. I began to despair. At each attempt to cure, my ailments became worse, with new symptoms. I next consulted a celebrated physician from the East, who, after thumping and examining me, stated that I was to an advanced stage of consumption, and threatened with diabetes ana paralysis 1 He thought I might possibly prolong my life for a year or two by seeking a higher and drier climate. This was my condition when the people to your part of the country last saw me ‘Then I started for the Bookies, but liked this country and settled here At first the change helped me, but about three years ago the benefit ceased Then I failed so rapidly that "I could be out of bed only part of each day. All my old Bymptoms returned At this crisis a party of Eastern gentlemen,

ON A BUFFALO HUNT, made my house their headquartera In the party was a Dr. Wakefield, who informed me that I had a bod case of incurable Bright’s Disease, and gave me a preparation which might, he said, ease me for a few weeks or months, but that was the best that could be dona Around the bottle was a newspaper. Now a newspaper was a rarity to pur home, and I sat to my chair looking it over when my eye providentially fell .upon an article relating a most wonderful cure of Bright's disease—the very malady that waa killing use—by the use of Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure (of Rochester, N. Y.). Convinced that further delay would be fatal, and everything else failing, the next morning I dispatched one of my boys to the nearest railroad si ation, many miles distant, to obtain a bottle of Safe Cure. The druggist said the demand for the Cure was so great he could not keep it in stock, and he had to send to Kansas City for more. It was more than a week before it arrived, and I was daily getting weaker. But it came at last, and lar once began to take it When I told Dr. Wakefield what 1 was taking, he gave me a look, half of scorn, half of pity, os much as to say, ‘poon fellow!

he is putting his trust in a huitobug.’ Nevertheless I persevered and for the past year and a hair I have been as stout and rugged as ever I was in my life. After escaping the attacks of Indians and half a dozen doctors, I was lying at the mercy of a still more dreadlul foe that was about giving me the finishing blow, when that great remedy stepped in. slew my adversary, and placed'me firmly on my feet once more. I have commenced preaching again; for Hook upon the circumstances and manner of my cure as a direct interposition of Providence, and to Providence are my services due. That is my story. I think it is as good as a romance —and much better, for it is true” Such is the substance, and very nearly the language of Elder Kite’s narrative Those who read it, and are suffering, may benefit by his experience, if they will follow his example

James Fenimore Cooper.

J. Fenimore Cooper, the pioneer of American novelists, was born in Burlington, N. Y., Sept. 15, 1789. Reared in the wild country surrounding Otsego lake, he early became acquainted with the natural scenery which he afterward so vividly described. His father, who was a member of Congress, sent him when but 13 to Yale College, where he remained two years. At the age of 16 he joined the United States navy and made two extended cruises, which gave him all the information he desired concerning the sea. Resigning, he married and settled at Westchester, N. Y., where he began to write his novels. The first, “Precaution,” appeared in 1819, and from that time he continued to write until his death, in 1851. In 1826 he visited Europe, returning in 1833. The novels of Cooper are considered remarkable for their descriptions, but in the general finish of his stories he has many superiors. His histories, while they are fascinating in interest, are not considered altogether reliable. His principal works are “The Pioneers,” “The Spy,” “The Pilot,” “The Prairie “Naval History of 'the United States” and “The Pathfinder.”

The Bichmond, Ya., State writes: “ExMayor J. A. Gentry, Manchester, this State, was cured of rheumatism by St. Jacobs Oil. _

The World a Mere Hostelry.

All that in this world enlarges the sphere of affection or indignation is to be reverenced, and all those circumstances enlarge it which strengthen our memory or quicken our conception of the dead; hence it is no light sin to destroy anything that is old, more especially becau«j, even -with the aid of all the attainable records of the past, we, the living, occupy a space of too large importance and interest in our own eyes; we look upon the world too much as our own, too muoh as if we had poe sessed it and should possess it forever, and forget that it is a mere hostelry, of which we occupy the apartments for the time, which others better than we have sojourned in before.— John RusJcin .

Sit Down, Please.

The beet chain and oouohes are those which you like best, and which best human figure in repose. A couch should allow of the feet being put up, if necessary, and should be of suon a shape that you can lie upon it, either full length or half length, with perfect comfort. To be really serviceable, it should not be covered with pale-blue satin or maize-colored taboret, but with a good tapestry covering in a neutral hue, say sage-green or dark, rusty red, to wear well. The tapestry should not be too fine to lie down upon, or even, in the privacy of family life, to lay one’s feet upon. * And the whole couch should, if possible, turn toward the fire, so that its oocupant may have his faoe toward the cheerful glow. At the same time a little wickerwork table —black and gold, if you will—may hold a lamp for reading. As to ohairs, a oonple of good, well-stuffed easy chairs, also covered in the same tapestry, and arranged so as to look toward the fire, ought to be sufficient for luxury, while sii or eight little ebonized and cane-bottomed gossip chairs are the simplest and prettiest “occasional" furniture you can have. The gossip chair has a curved back which exactly fits the natural curve of the body, and the neat slopes gently downward and backward, so as to give one the best possible support with the least angularity or awkwardness. With these pretty little clean cane seats, a black wickerwork chair, two easy chairs and $ couch, yon should have enough places for family and guests in a quiet household.

Lost Faith in Physicians.

Why is it that so many persons use proprietary medicines, or patent medicines, as they are oommonly called? Is it because people lose faith in physicians? There are Inn umerable instances where cures have been effected by KoovilTa Sarsaparilla or Blood and Liver Syrup for all diseases of the blood, when they had been given over by their physicians. It is one of the best remedies ever offered to the public, and, as it is prepared with the greatest care, aa a specific for certain diseases, It is no wonder that It should be more effectual than hastily-written and carelessly-prepared prescriptions made by incompetent physicians. Take Seovill’s Blood and Liver Syrup for all disorders arising from impure blood. It 6 indorsed by leading professional men as well as by eminent physicians and others.
