general legislation can be transacted at this session. Onlj fifty one working days of tbe session remain Congressmen, as a rule, do not spend more time In the House that] is neeccssaiy, and. taking the most liberal estimate, tbey will not average more than w* hours' work per day during the session The most important work to be done la with the appropriation bills, but under U»e -rules of the House, as adopted a year ago. Impediments can bo thrown in the way of. tbos bills. Under the present rules it requires a two thirds vote to dispense with the morning hour, and thte vote it is general ly h#rd j?#W »4^iI^U private bill day, and 5t requires two-thtrds to sot aside the private business. With a private calendar of fifty pages already, and on which tlit-rf aro bills introduced or reported by every tr ember of the House, the, difficulty ol getting a two thirds vote will be apparent Ftiribermore, on the first and third Monday of each mcmjlh motion* to suspend tin- rules are in order, and very few members are willing, to forego that privilege. Now, there are eight Fridays between now and the 4th of March, and there are three Mondays on which motions may be made to suspend the rules. Add the time consumed iu mornina hours. In trails of the State* for bUla ana Us routine miscellaneous btui new. which will amount, at the lowest calculation, to five days, and there aro left of the flfty one daya of the session only thirty-five days iu which to considor the heaviest of the appropriaiiou bills, the refunding bill, the appor tionment bill, conference 'reports from the Senate, and to count the electoral voter to say nothing of other im portasit measures. *iuch a* the interstate oommere* bill.

Bal'way Danger Signals. Each of the brakemen and conductors employed upon the stonm railroads is Supplied with a lamp, upon which his name is engraved. It is intended tq be his companion and to be carried by him, not only on the train, but also to and from his home. It is mounted- upon a shining brass baso. All the metal work upon it is carc.'ully rubbed, and not a kaeck ocdust is permitted to be on the gias£ wakemen are supplied with red. orffan^er, lamps, and conductors with wfpte, or starting:, lamps. The value ojftliese lamps' is rarely appreciated, otr^even understood, by travelers. Many ll^es have been ?avcd itnd many ha vis b4em lost through them alone. The number of lives that have been endahgered fey the mishaps of tbe lamps cannoffee estimated. The loss of a red lamp, missing wick, a wick that will not buni, causes grave alarm in the loeomolite cab. A break in a train, the disooVety of a blockade, a snd len stop, call for the instant use of the red lamp. If no ifcd lamp is at hand a pot of red paint OR 4 piece of red liana el is used to eover^a white one. The flaunel is more ir^Use, for it is easy to chrry and ^Uy tufd. A bit of fat can be substituted fpWi unwilling Wick: it burns as well f#f ^ve minutes. A fast train is easily divided by the breaking of a co ipUag^pin. The engineer may not be able to run back for the detached cars, and they must, therefore, wait for the next train. If the weather is misty, the absence of a red lamp from the rear one of these cars is a terrible menace to life.

Siitoe the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia better railroad lamps are manufactured, and each train is supplied with one, two, throe or more, according to its loo^th. Two red lamp^ are placed on the platform of the,last car of the elevuWd railroad trains from dusk uaJil dayiight. No danger need be approhended in a clear morning or a clear night. Upon a foggy night a col lision might almost be expected to follow a Jreak in a train, the red lamps being scarcely perceptible and the trains ruuuing closely—if it were not that the distance between the stations is so short, and that the extra precaution is taken of putting a tlag man on the rear oar. The presence of this flagman is unknown to most passengers. His flag —nothing more than a vard of bright, red ilqknel- fc only seen. when it, oervoufTy waved in the air as he runs along t|te track toward an approaching train. iAnd it is a dangerous run in any kind ofweather. Engineers and brakemen have many tales of lucky escapes to tell, yet luck is a much smaller factor of safety than is their own remarkable presence of mind. Danger is seen by them and averted in an instant. One moment scores of lives are within the ring of death the next tr^in is speeding onward with the only disadvantage of being sixty seconds behind tho schedule time. One night last summer a Long Island Railroa nHft%#jgoaeblug Jamais aft its waj to Hunter's Point,

broke," and fotir

cars were left behind. The only lamp on the train—a red one -was in charge of a brakeman, who, in his excitement, let it fall. Only a small bit of red gl&ss remained upon it. A Jamaica train was expected momentarily. The passengers apparently did not understand the cause of the .stop, nor were they much interested. The conductor* relighted tho lamp and nailed it to a pine stick. Holding it aloft with the red gla*s turned toward the approaching train, he conveyed a warning which prevented a disastrous collision.—Ne*o York Times.

A Scotch Shooting.

A shooting has rather a special meaning in Scotland. It denotes an area of tirld. "forest," or moor oyer which gentlemen armed with deadly weapons bring down various kinds of game, estimating their booty not by any monetary standard, but by the pleasure of proving themselves to be crack Shots. Many of these shootings are very valuable, and are advertised to be let for the season or for a term of years, with the same publicity as houses and other buildings are elsewhere. We are told, for instance, of one shooting of 25,000 acres, well stored with grouse, black

Suck,

ame, partridge, roedeer, hare, wild woodcock, pheasant and rabb.t and having a sh oUng-box or lodge conveniently located and handsomely furnished. Another advertisement points to the fact that there are an feoiiwopal church and a doctor near at hand while the pr^f»rietor supplies the tenant with housekc per. gamekeeper, *c. Ano'hor dwells on tha advantage that a weli horsed stage-coach, or a istoamboa* pas§e«ai»o great difitance from the lodge.

Great Britain and France consume each about the same quantity of wool—380,000,000 pounds a year.

An Awful Squirt.'

A Rockland young matt until quite recently was courting a fat girl at the North fend and had progressed very favorably with his suit. One evening last week he dressed up in his best clothes, carefully combed nis hair, and started out to make his tri-wcekly visit to bis |air OUQ, who was waiting in the parlor with fotid expectation in her heart and cold iu her head, superinduced by the fluctuating weather. This was, as you *T$tiljht mys, the ftroiofytta to4hn it appears, however, that the fat girl's father—whft is worth many thousand dollars in good, sensible bonds, and as a consequence is an object of the young an's tender regard—had for several

previous been the victim of some nown miscreant who had raided on

his hen pen with dwastrous effect. Hick of such foolishness, he had prepared a ghastly retribution for the fowl villains, and to this end hod filled a big garden syringe with about a gallon of ancient beef brine, seasoned with garlic and flavored with apsafoetida, and was lying in ambush behrnd a box, where he could sweep every approach to the hennery. The young man. who is pretty well acquainted with the whole family, thought he would surprise bis girl by entering the house unexpectedly by the back way. This is the situation:

To*

0 9 a is the hennery: 6 is tbe old man, and the »yrln*w I* the jrounjrman Itgbttf turning to tbotijrbts of Jove as woil as tbe o«rner of tne fenoe is tii« boo»e itself, pafnted brown: and is the fat srlrl sltMne h/ tbe piano aaa siiMnnf Father, dear father, eome home: iWpff ia tbe tratberftts-darknoss.

Gayly np the back yard the young man comes. Silently in ambush the old man lies. Cheerily the fat girl warbles. Quiet but awful is the syringe. In tjhe uncertain light of early evening the old man sew a figure stealthily drawing near his guarded pen. With bated breath he wait* the onslaught. The syringe sounds its dreadful wh-s* s-h-p, and its deadly contents flv through the air like a wild and mad avenger. A veil that tore the assure robe of nicrhC fairly knocked the fatglii off the piano stool and curdled the old man's blood, followed the discharge, and when the neighbors rushed In, under the impression that a political boom had burst light in the neighborhood, they found the unfortunate young man pawing madly aronnd on the and screaming out awful M«xitwribJe to hear, white the old man hovered over the «c«»e with th« syringe is his ban da, looking like an animated figure escaped froth an
