THE SENATE AND HOUSE.

WORK OF OUR NATIONAL LAWMAKERS. Proceedings' of the Senate and House of Representatives _ Important Measures Discussed and Acted Upon—Gist of the Business. Thebe remain but twenty-nine days of the session and the two houses will be required to work with industry to properly complete the necessa»y legislation within that period. In order to make up some of the time lost the Senate will hereafter meet at 11 o’clock and as the Senate, when it does settle down to work, proceeds with commendable earnestness, ignoring trifles and technicalities, the l elated appropriation bills and other measures that are considered urgent will he speedily disposed of. The Senate lias .live of the thirteen general appropriation bills, of which three are on the calendar, namely, pension, fortifications and army. In addition to these the Senate Committee has in course of examination and will soon be ready to report the navy and District of Columbia bills. Before these are reported the House will have completed several others of the supply bills that are now on the calendar of that body. , Senators Gorman, Gibson and Faulkner, on the 20th, informed the Democratic leaders In the House that they had been formally notified by the Republican Senators In charge of the elections bill that no further effort would be made to bring up either the bill or the closure resolutions. The death of the bill is certain to be followed by the demise of free coinage. It Is now doubtful if the free coinage measure will get out of the Coinage Committee unless the House takes it out, The Senate, by a strict party vote passed the apportionment. bill just as it came from the House. Four amendments were introduced to Increase by one each the Representatives in Congress from Arkunas, Minnesota, Missouri and New York. All were defeated. The solemn and impressive duty of announcing the death of Secretary Windom tc the Senate was performed by Mr. Morrill, the venerable “Father of the Senate.” AVhen the Senate was called to order on the morning of the 30th, nearly every Senator was in his seat, and it was obvious from the air of solemnity that pervaded tho chamber that something out of the ordinary had occurred. There was also an air of sadness in the House, and unusual attention was paid to the prayer of the Chaplain. Resolutions of respect were adopted and a committee appointed to attend the funeral. Both houses then adjourned until after the Interment. In the Senate, on the 31st. a number of bill were reported from committees and introduced. Mr. Cullom presented theresolutiems of the House of Representatives of Illinois instructing the Senators from that Sjate to vote against the Lodge bill and for the free coinage bill. He said he regarded the resolutions in the nature of petitions and asked that they be filed in the records of the Senate. So ordered. Mr. Morrill offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee of seven Senators to join the House in attending the funeral of Secretary Window. The resolution was agreed to and Messrs. Morrill, Washburn, Allison, Harris, Payne and Gorman were appointed. The army appropriation bill was thon taken up and passed. The House, on the siime date, passed the military academy appropriation bill and immediately went Into committee of the whole on tho diplomatic and edrifeufar appropriation bill.

Walking Fishes.

It may seem absurd to speak of fishes as walking. The flying-fish is well known, but its flight looks much like swimming in the air. We naturally think of fishes as living all the time in water; as being incapable, in fact, of living anywhere else. But nature maintains.no hard and fast lines of distinction betweeh animal life which belongs on the land and that which belongs to the water. If we can believe the accounts of naturalists and there are no grounds for doubting them—there are fishes that traverse dry land and others that walk on the bottom of the sea. It is reported that Dr Francis Day, of India, lias collected several instances of the migration of fishes by land from* one piece of water to another. Bayard once met some perch-like fishes traveling along a hot and dusty gravel road at midday. Humboldt saw a species of dorus leaping over the dry ground, supported by its pectoral fins; and lie was told of another specimen that had climbed a hillock over twenty feet in height. A French naturalist published in the “Transactions of the Linnaan Society of Normandy,” 1842, an account of his observations on the ambulatory movements of the gurnard at the bottom of the sea. He observed these movements in one of the artificial sea-ponds or fishing-traps, surrounded by nets, on the chore of Normandy. He saw a score of gurnards c’ose their fins against their sides like the wings of a fly in repose, and, without any movement of their tails, walk %Jong tho bottom by means of six free rays, three on each pectoral fin, which they placed successively on the ground. They moved rapidly forward and backward, to the right and left, groping in all directions with these rays, as if in search of small crabs. Their great heads and bodies seemed *to throw hardly any weight on the slender rays, or feet, being suspended in water, and having their weight further diminished by their swimming bladders. When the naturalist moved in the water the fish swam away rapidly to the extremity of the pond; wheD he stood still they resumed their v alking and came between bis legs. On dissection the three anterior rays on each pectoral fin are found to be supported each with a strong muscular apparatus to direct its movements, apart from the muscles that are connected with the smaller rays of the pectoral fin.

Wise Sayings.

A true principle never dies. Activity is not always energy. Every man owes a debt to mankind. Be content with such things as ye have. Be the architect of your own fortune. The present is the golden moment of life. In shoal water you know how deep it is. Only very mean men always take the half cent. The most liberal are oftener the most successful. Health is too costly a blessing to be fooled away. } Loyalty to host convictions is an im/ portant duty. No blessino equals the possession of a stout heart A man of business is not a'ways a business man.

A Showman’s Life. - “Haven’t you something of interest to relate about your own circus life and the •how business in general?” I inquired of Dan Eice. “The story of my life is a strange one —a very strange one. Forty years ago I first entered the ring, and since then probably twenty eircuses have existed under my name. For nine years I received §I,OOO per week, and I know all the men who have gained distinction in the ring. I have been worth over 8900,000, and I have given away as much. Forepaugh, Nathan, Cooper, Bailey & Co., E. E. Spaulding, Avery Smith, and; other well-known managers have traveled under my name, and W. C. Coup* who has now the best circus in the United States, was once a side-showman with, me, and is a very likely and liberal gentleman for all that. The jokes of old Dan have been heard in almost every city and town in the entire land. I haveput up tents throughout the entire West which would no more hold the people who flocked to my show than this room would hold the crowds who throng weekly the church of a Talmage or Beecher. There are four circuses traveling now under my name—one in Texas, one iu Arkansas, one on the Mississippi River, and one in Australia. East in the spring, North and Northwest in the summer, and South in the fall is the order of circusgoing. But my mind wanders to-night. Old Dan is not himself any more< A circus-clown is not a very elevate! character in the eyes of the world; but, with all his failings, a circus-clown has a heart, and doesn’t the Bible say, ‘ Judge not, that ye may not be judged?’ ” And so the old man talked for a couple of hours and more. He told of his divorce case, of his intentions to lecture one hundred nights at SIOO per night, and as he now and then recalled the scenes of his former days an expression of sadness would pass over his aged face, for whisky and time are fast doing their work for old Dan. —Chicago Tribune.
