DOINGS OF CONGRESS. Thx Degtoative, Executive and Judicial Apmnxtiticm bffl’traa before the Senate on Feb. M, Upon the proririon fucrtarina the catary cf public Printer to Slow a dheusriou arose as to thetafloence of the Printers’ Union opon the manacement of the Government Pristine Office. Mr. BoUtas aefced whether this association did not aho dictate who should be employed by the Public Printer. Mr. Anthony said that if any person not brionrin* to the Union was employed all the member* -of the Virion would leave the office. Mr. Hale thought the Senators most be startled at hearing that a great Governmental establishment. upon which ini’ lions was spent annually, was hopelessly in the bands <ri a private, and. for anzht we know, a secret association, which contiol ed its m nagement and monopolized its employment. Mr. Hale thought ths Public Printer ought to weed out from the office evry man who belonged to the Union and employ * non-Union men. Mr. Voorfaeea said that, from the talk in the Senate for the last half hour, it might be supposed the printers were very dangerous people. That was not his view. He knew of no more conscientious, paftistaking. hard-working class. It was admitted that the printers in the Government Printing-Office did their work well, and did not receive too much pay. Mr. Hawley said the printers, like any other class of laborers, had a perfect right to form an association for their mutual benefit, to agree upon the price they would ask for their labor, and to say they would not work for less, but they had no right to say another man not a member of the association should not work for less than their price if he chose to do so. The amendment increasing the Public Printer’s salary was lost. The bill then passed the Senate. In considering the Legislative Appropriation bill, the House of Representatives decided not to pay $3,000 to the heirs of Messrs. Updegraff ana Herron, whose term ot sendee as Congressmen would not have commenced until March A A resolution was passed censuring the Secretary of State of Nebraska and Mr. Majors, an aspirant to an additional seat in the House, for falsifying census figures. A bill was passed to prevent the importation of adulterated teas. *

The bill to prevent the importation of spurious teas passed the Senate on the 26th nit. A resolution was adopted requesting the President to give any information in regard to the agreement of European Ministers at Lima to make an effort toward peace. Pensions of 150 per month were granted to the widows of Rear Admiral Beaumont and Gen. Warren. The President sent to the Senate the nominations of S. G. W. Benjamin as Minister to Persia; Wickham Hoffman, Minister to Denmark: Lucius H. Foote, Minister to Corea; and Dwight T. Reed, Consul General at Madrid. In the House, a resolution reported from the Committee on Rules by Mr. Reed, by which the Tariff bill could be taken up and passed without debate, precipitated a warm partisan debate. Mr. House, of Tennessee, denounced the proposition as a crime against the American people, and Mr. Blackburn said so jealous were the founders of the Government of control of the taxing power that they provided that nowhere on the continent should revenue bills originate except in the American House of Commons. Yet this rule proposed that a revenue bill shall originate in the Senate, and the representatives of the people be denied an opportunity to discuss It Mr. Cox denounced it as an outrage upon the American people. Other denunciatory speeches' followed from the Democratic side of the House, when the resolution was brought to a vote. The Democrats refrained from voting, thus breaking a quorum, and deferring further action on the resolution. Mr. Townshend introduced in the House a retaliatory bill to prevent the importation of deleterious wines from Germany. Mr. Robinson presented a joint resolution to secure the cession of Ireland to the United States by purchase or otherwise. A resolution was adopted by the Senate on the 27th ult., directing the Secretary of the Treasury to report the sums paid to special or assistant attorneys by the Department of Justice last year. A message was received announcing the non-concurrence of the House in the action of the Senate on the Internal Revenue and Tariff bill, and a committee of conference was appointed, comprising Messrs. Morrill, Sherman, Aldrich, Bayard and Beck. Mr. Voorhees presented several telegrams from printers and other workingmen, protesting against any action to exclude “union" Brinters from the Government printing-office, •avid Davis read a notice of his intention to resign the Presidency pro tern. Saturday, March 3. In the House, the resolution of Mr. Reed, providing that a majority may take the Senate Tat iff bill from the Speaker’s table and send it to a committee of conference, was agreed to by 123 to 22. The Democrats generally refrained front voting. The Speaker appointed as such committee Messrs. Kelley, McKinley, Haskell, Randall and Carlisle. Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, offered a resolution to the effect that the Senate, under the form of an amendment to the Internal Revenue bill, had proceeded to Invade the constitutional prerogative of the House by attaching revision to the tariff, and that the bill should lie on the table and the Senate be notified of the same. Mr. Haskell then offered a substitute in the form ’of a resolution with a preamble, all of which recites that the House bill has been so modified under the color of amendments that, in the opinion of the House, it is believed to be in conflict with the true intent and purpose of the constitution, and, therefore, it is resolved that, if the bill shall be referred to a conference committee, said committee may, if it shall be considered desirable and necessary, take the question of constitutional prerogative into consideration, and . may report the result thereof to the House. A long debate ensued, the Republicans supporting and the Democrats opposing Mr. Haskell’s substitute. It was finally adopted—l 43 to 20—four protectionist Democrats voting in the affirmative, and one Republican, McCoid, of lowa, voting against it. There was quite a scene in the Senate on the 2gth ult., on account of the action of the House in passing the Reed resolution. Mr. Garland , of Arkansas, asserted that the House had in that resolution prejudiced the right of the Senate to put tariff legislation upon the Little Revenue bill, and he thought it was a perfect farce for the Senate to send conferees to confer upon a prejudiced question. He then offered a resolution directing the Senate conferees to ask the House members of the committee if they raised the question of the right ot the Senate, and, if they did, to report back to the Senate for further instructions. Mr. Edmunds and other Republicans opposed the resolution, the Democrats, led by Mr. Garland, supporting it. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 26 to 24. The bill to increase the pensions of one-armed and one-legged soldiers was passed. Mr. Edmunds made an adverse report on the House bill to restore to American citizenship such persons as have been naturalized in Great Britain. In the House, Mr. Randall declined to serve on the tariff conference committee, and Messrs. Morrison and Tucker successively refused to take the position, Mr. Speer being finally appointed. The River and Harbor bill wsft discussed for twelve hours, but no conclusion was reached. The cohfereTvo committees on the Tariff bill met in the evening, but as the House conferees had a limitation placed on their action Senators Bayard and Beck refused to remain, and Representative Carlisle soon left the room. The seven high-tariff men went forward with the work of revision.

The Senate passed the sundry civil appropriation on the Ist inst. The Democratic Senators refused to have anything further to do with the tariff business. After Messrs. Bayard and Beck had given their reasons for refusing to serve on the conference committee, the President pro tem. successively appointed Messrs. Voorhees and McPherson, Morgan and Gorman, Davis and Jonas and Butler and Maxey, each of ■whom declined to accept the honor. The chair then turned to the Republican side and called Messrs. Ingalls and Miller to the breach, but they refused. Messrs. Mahone and McDill were Induced to accept. The House passed the River and Harbor Appropriation bill. While this measure was under consideration a scene of the wildest excitement occurred. The item appropriating $60,000 for the improvement of the Sacramento river was read, whereupon Mr. Van Vorhls, of New York, said nobody but a gambler and a eut-throat would think of tacking to the bill such an item. This was a thrust at Mr. Page, of California, whom he had called a mule-driver the previous evening. The words were taken down, at the request of Mr. Horr, and Mr. McLane offered a resolution of expulsion. After several members had spoken, Mr. Van Vorhls disclaimed all intention of being personal to anybody, withdrew the offensive words, and apologized to the House. Mr. Herbert insist d on expulsion, on which the vote stood 66 to 70.

Jim Elliott, the prize-fighter, lived a life of violence and met his death in a violent manner. Between him and one Jerry Dunn, a Chicago sport of some notoriety, there had for some time existed a bitter feud. They met the other night in a restaurant on Dearborn street, Chicago, and proceeded to settle the dispute, not in accordance with the rules ot the prize-ring, of which they were both admirers and exponents, but in true frontier style—with revolvers at short range. After each of the men had fired some half a dozen bullets into his antagonist, and they both Iqy prostrate upon the floor, the bystanders proceeded to make a calculation as to results, when it was found that Elliott was in the throes of death, and Dunn was dangerously wounded, with a bare chance of recovery.

By a vote of 32 to 81 the Senate, at its session * n March 2, adopted the report of the conference committee on the Senate Tariff and Revenue bill. One Democrat, one Independent, and Mr. Mahone, of Virginia, voted with the majority, while Mr. Van Wyck. of Nebraska, voted against the bill. Mr. Morrill explained the report to the Senate. He said the proposed reduction was estimated at about $75,000,000. W- Beck made a fiery speech in opposition to the adoption of the report. “This report," he said, “appears to be simply -an increase of duty upon every article the committee attempted to touch (except one or two unimportant ones) of the rates in the bill passed in the Senate. I knew from the beginning that we would get a worse bill than either the House or Senate desired." Mr. Bayard characterized the report as a most lame and impotent conclusion of a winter spent in framing a tariff law. Mr. Vance ridiculed the action of the conference in increasing the duty on iron, steel, and woolen goods, and, as a return to the tax-payer for all this, putting hoop-poles on the free list. In the House, the bill to permit the consolidation of the Southern Pacific and other roads was defeated. A bill was passed to adjust the salaries of Postmasters.

The Hill Wasn't Steep Enough.

I see him bobblingdown town this “Well, I guess his ankle got sprained with all toe rest You see, my chum and me went bobbing, and pa said he supposed ke used to be the rreetget bobber, when he was a boy, that ever was. He said he used to slide down a hill that was steeper than a church steeple. We asked him to go with us, and we went to that street that goes down by the depot, and we had two sleds hitched together, and there were mor'n a hundred boys, and pa wanted to steer, and he got on the front sled, and when we got about half way down toe sled slewed, and my chum and me got off all right, but pa got shut up between the two sleds, and the other boys behind they all run over pa and one sled runner caught him. in toe trowsers leg, and dragged him over the slippery ice clear to the bottom, and the whole layout run into the street car, and the mules got wild and kicked, and pa’s suspenders broke, and when my chum and me got down there pa was under the car, and a boy’s boots were in pa’s shirt-bosom, ahd another boy was straddle of pa’s neck, and the crowd rushed up from the depot and got pa out, and he began to yell ‘fire,’ and ‘police,’ and he kicked at a boy that was trying to get his sled out of the small of pa’s back, and a policeman came along and pushed pa and said, ‘Go away from here, ye owld divil, and let the b’ys enjoy themselves,’ and he was going to arrest pa, when me and my chum told him we would take pa home. Pa said the hill was not steep enough for him, or he wouldn’t have fell off. He is offal stiff to-day, but he says he will go skating with us next week, and show us how to skate. Pa mean's well, but he don’t realize that he is getting stiff and can’t be as as he used to be.— Peck’s Sun.

Darwin’s Last Years.

None of Darwin’s works has excited greater interest or more bitter controversy than that on man; and the correctioh of the numerous reprints, and of a final enlarged edition in 1874, was found to be so laborious a task as to convince him that any such extensive literary works as those projected and announced six years previously must be finally abandoned. This, however, by no means implied cessation from work. Observation and experiment were the delight and relaxation of Darwin’s life, and he now continued and supplemented those numerous researches on plants we have already referred to. A new edition of an earlier work on the “Movements of Climbing Plants” appeared in 1875; a thick volume on “Insectivorous Plants” in the same year; “Cross and Self-Fertilization” in 1876; the “Forms of Flowers” in 1877; the “Movements of Plants,” embodying much original research, in 1880; and his remarkable little book on “Earth-worms” in 1881. This last work is highly characteristic of the author. In 1837 he had contributed to the Geological Society a short paper on the formation of vegetable mold by the agency of worms. For more than forty years this subject of his early studies was kept in view; experiments were made, in one case involving the keeping a field untouched for thirty years,—and every opportunity was taken of collecting facts and making fresh observations, the final result being tp elevate one of the humblest and most despised of the animal creation to the position of "an important agent in the preparation of the earth for the use of the higher animals and of man.—Century Magazine.

Barbering in Germany.

I have had something to say before about the backwardness of hotels, so you will not be surprised to hear that none of them are provided with barbershops. I believe there is only one hotel in Berlin, the magnificent Central,which has a barber-shop attachment, but even in this instance the shop is a long distance from the rotunda, and it is the custom in Berlin, as elsewhere, to have the barber come to your room in the hotel. This is but another outgrowth of the infamous fee business. In order to get a barber yon must first ring for the waiter. The waiter enters that call in his set of books. Then the waiter must send a messenger. You must give something to the messenger. Then when the barber comes in it is expected that you will give him a little extra change for his trouble. On his way out he probably divides with the porter and the waiter. I have never seen a first-class barbershop in Europe. There are none to be found anywhere, I believe, which will compare with the tonsorial palaces of Chicago or any of our large cities. The prices charged are very low—from ‘2J to 4 cents for a shave, and about 10 cents for a hair-cut. Regular customers pay by the month or quarter. My bill for the last quarter was about 8 marks, including fees, or equal to about SI.BO. And during the quarter I visited the barber, or he visited me, on an average three times a week. But many a time, when I have l>een sad at heart, I would have given the entire SI.BO for one good American shave,and considered it cheap. —Car. Chicago News.

Nature’s Wash-Room.

Nature’s gifts are widely and variously distributed. In one place the elements of things are given to be made available by labor; elsewhere, she provides things ready for man’s use. To gain our bread, the seed must first be sown and months after the grain harvested, threshed and ground. But the native of the Pacific Isles plucks his bread from the breadfruit tree. Our druggist, with his acids, concocts the cooling soda-water; but in a tiny, rocky isle in the middle of Clear lake, California, there is a perpetual soda-fountain from which gushes better soda-water than the chemist can produce. Perhaps nature foresaw the overworked and not over-strong housewife to whom “washing-day” is a dread and burden, when she established here and ther enatural wash-tubs and washing-ma-chines and, in some places, even provided reatly-made soap. In the Yellowstone National Park the family washing is easily disposed of. The soiled bedding and clothing is put into a stout bag which is hung in one of the boiling springs *md left there while the party wander fibout sight-seeing. When taken out the clothes are so clean and white that no rinsing is necessary. On one occasion a party hung their bag of clothes in the basin of the geyser called “Old Giant,” and, wandering off, were absent longer than they intended to be. While they were away, the “giant” spouted, and the garments were thrown high in the air. torn into shreds and scattered. Some time afterward, bits of the blanket and other cloth were found petrified, and some of these petrefactions are still exhibited.

Voltaire, 120 veahe ago, said that “before the beginning of the nineteenth century Christianity will have disappeared from the earth.” In 1880, the date appointed for the extermination of Christianity, there were 24,000,000 En-glish-speaking people, and of these 14,000,000 were Protestants, 5,500,000 Romanists. Next year is the centenary of organic American Methodism, and it .is proposed that all the Methodist sects shall unite in a celebration. It is probable that all will join in this demonstration except the Methodist Protestants, who constitute a body that seceded in 1830 on the question of episcopacy.

An Irish Way Around a Difficuty.

Two Irishmen c*me to a guidepost on a wide and desolate plain. It was getting dusk and the unfenced trails were scarcely distinguishable. “Fire miles to Glenairtie,” read one of them, putting his face dose to the board. *But which st than goes to Glenairlie, sure?" asked his companion, looking dubiously at the two trails. After a few moments’ meditative silence, the first Irishman replied: “We can try one av thim and then the other.* “But how will we find the way back av ws get lost?" “Sure we will take the board along wid us," replied the first. And so the two pilgrims lighted their pipes and marched cheerfully away with the gu deboard between them.— Burlington Free Press.

Why He Kept His Temper.

A small-sized colored man was roundly abusing a brother of color on Antoine street large enough to eat him up. After the abuse had continued for a long time without result a white man said to the party of the second part, “Why don’t you pick him up and mop the snow with his legs?” “I could do it, boss. ” “Then why don’t you ?” “Waal, I was considerin’.

Done not directly imperil life, it la a distressful, vexatious and resolute complaint. Patient endurance of its numerous very small watery pimples, hot and smarting, requires true fortitude.

The Shirt of an Aboriginal.

Over both shoulders and down the foil length of each arm axe embroidered broad bands of brightly colored porcupine quills. and from both arms bangs a vary heavy buckskin fringe twentr inches in depth. At intervals along the frffige on the left arm are woven in scalp-locks, fourteen in number, showing the number of enemies that its wearer had slain. Hanging down atthe front and back are two pointed ornamental flaps, about eight inches long and three broad at the top, trimmed with a fine buckskin fringe and beautifully ornamented with bead-work. On the front and back are painted or stained, in a manner known only to the untutored red, sixty representations of horse shoes, showing the number of horses and ponies that its proud owner had stolen from his foes. But even a Sioux chief, bedecked with all the gaudy trappings that delight his race, must himself succumb to the grim warrior Death at last; and a small bullet hole in the left shoulder of the shirt, with stains of blood still visible down the front, tells plainly the manner of its former owner’s taking off.— Fargo (Dak.) Republican.
