WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.--The Senate and House of Representatives will meet in joint convention to morrow for the purpose of counting the electoral vote, which according to the United States statutes, takes place on the second Wednesday of the month of February.

BUFFALO, N. Y.. Feb. 8.—The walls of the old New York Central Depot, at this place, became so weakened by the excava tion cf arches in them, to communicate with the new division of the depot, that they gave way this morning under heavy weight of snow upon the roof.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Corre»pBidence to the NBV*B. ... WASHINGTON. Feb. 7, 1881 CUaapromige between House and Senate on ^funding bill is believed to be possi-

Senate will agree to placing inon the treasury notes provided for, rate of three per cent—that on the nds to remain at f%. When before ate Finance committe lately, SecSherman seemed to believe that |botes, or certificates, could be sold with interest at 8 per cent., and hers of the House believe the Senate ttee anticipated yielding the point, on Saturday it fixed the figures, at more than 8% percent." iderable surprise was manifested

§eouse

favorable report agreed upon in of Special Committee, on a

oiu po incorporate the "Inter-Oceanic Shixf Railroad Company," of Captain Ead% and the recommendation of the Government guarantee, asked for of intere|$on the company's bonds. Upon examination of the report, however, it jis found that Government liability can hardier attach until the practicability of the 'enterprise is shown, For instance, untifia vessel and load weighing together 2,000 ,,tons, shall have been carried safe by botll ways upon ten miles of the railway, the United States shall not be liable, and then ior not more thaii 8 per cent, interest upon five millions of dollars. Further liability, is the same amount attaches whenever the like success is achieved upon twenty miles of the railway, and th* wrtent of fifty millions. Capt. Eads says he can raise tne capiwu without the gaarantee, but more easily, and more advantagously with it. He does not expect final action by Congress at this sqssion.

It seems to be generally believed that what is known as the Sixty Surgeon bill, revolutionizing the manner of passing upon claims, will not be passed by the present Congress. The Senate, substantially the same body as now, defeated tire measure by a decisive vote two years aeo.

It is not thought the session will pass without the introduction of several bills governing future electoral counts. Those numerous ones which Morton, Edmunds and others have proposed in past years, have all failed to satisfy Congressmen generally. They were, for one thing, too long and intricate. More evil might lurk unseen in them, than in the existing lack of system. It was a happy thought of Senator Bhtme, too, the other day, in sug gesting a special committee on the subject, to name a limit, in the membership to five Senators. Larger committees than that, unless they have many subjects to inquire intova^e worse than none.

Antiquity of Nursery Rhyinea. *,

Many of these productions have a very curions history, if it could only be traced. Some of them probably owe their origin to names distinguished in our literature as Oliver Goldsmith, for instance, is believed in his earlier days to have written such composition.*. Dr. E. F. Rimbault gives us the following particulars aa to some well-known favorites: ''Sing a Song of Sixpence" is as old as the sixteenth cento ry. Three Blind Mice" is found in a music-book dated 1809. The Frog and the Mouse" was licensed in 1580. Three Children Sliding on the Ice" dates from 1633. "London Bridge is Broken Down" is of unfathomed antiquity. "Girls and Boys Come Out to Play" is certainly as old tm the reign of Charles II. aa is also "Lucy Locket Lost Her Pockety to thetane of which the American song of "Yankee Doodle" was written.

Odds and Ends.

iv.

A significant feature of our present industrial progress is the disposition manifested to utilise, and in very valuable ways, too, various odds and ends and leav» ings of materials, which until recently have been regarded as mere waste, and been carelessly thrown away. We are iast finding ont that good use can be made of almost everything, no matter how insignficant and apparently worthless it may be, if only we can discover the means by which to render it fit for application to some practical purpose. Indeed, the time is arriving when important industries from whose prosecution large fortunes can be made, will be built up in this country simply by utilizing common substanccs which our ancestors never saved and considered valueless.

Several important uses to which sawdust is or can be put, fttrniah a good illustration with which to corroborate the foregoing assertions. Sawdust that is worked into a plastic mass, mixed with glue or gypsum, and given proper shape by being pressed in molds, has been to a small extent used in the manufacture of ebony piano keys, brush handles, knife handles, fire kindlers, blocks for fuel, etc. A Louisiana planter urges the extensive use of sawdust as a fertilizer. He says that if four cart loads of sawdust be spread over an acre of the poorest land for the period of four years, it will fender it very rich. Sawdust rots readily and imparts to the soil a yellow appearance. Placed on the surface of the ground, it prevents various weeds from growing, and keeps the ground moist. It has been found especially serviceable in promoting the growth of fruit trees, and of potatoes and cabbage. But still more valuaole ways of utilizing sawdust than any hitherto suggested are being foreshadowed. W. Grossman of Petersburg, Va_ has secured a patent for making railroad ties, fence posts, pavingand building blocks, etc., out of sawdust. The wood formed by the process, which is represented to be simple and cheap, can endure a heavier pressure than ordinary wood, can take a polish, and, it is claimed, may be made fire and water-proof, and so that no insects can irg'ure it. This wood can also be cut and sawed, and nails driven into it ^it trouble.

Au Extraordinary Sleeper.

3 I'

The following account of a laboring man, aamed Samuel Clinton, of Timbury, near Bath, is taken, so far as the substantial facts are concerned, from the Philosophical Tratuactiom. On the 13tli of May, 1694, Clinton, who was then twenty-four years of age, fell into a profound sleep, in which he continued for a month. Every effort was made to rouse him, but in vain. At the end of that time he awoke of himself, and went about his business as usual. Nothing more extraordinary occurred until a» ftb ecary of Bath, was Bent tor after a lew days, and bled, blistered, capped and scarified the youug man, all to no purpose. Victuals were kept before him^ of which he occasionally ate without waking Sometimes the act of eating was not fully accomplished, and he would be found with his mouth full of meat. In this manner he continued for seventeen weeks, till the 7th of August He then awoke naturally, put on his clothes and went into the fields to his work. He was surprised to find it was harvest time, the period that had elapsed since he was at work sowing oats and barley having been a blank. From this time, again, he remained well until the 17th of August, 1697, when he complained of a shivering and a coldness in His back, vomited once or twice, and once more fell asleep. Dr. Olivtjr. whose account of the matter appeared in the Philosophical Tiwnsaciiotis, then went to see him, and fouud his pulse regular, and his body agreeably warm. He tested the sleeper in the most sevfere manner, and tried by every artifice he could devise to surprise him into wakeftilness, and was at last compelled to admit that the sleep was real. About ten days after, an apothecary (Mr. Gibfce, we presume) took fourteen ounces of blood from his arm, tied it up again, and left hini as he found him, without the least movement having been made by the sleeper. About the end of September, Dr. Oliver saw him again, and a gentleman ran a -in into his arm to the very bone, but Clinton gave no sign of being sensible of what was done to him. Once, on the 19th of November, he woke np and spoke to his ether, but almost instantly went to sleep w0 .in and continued so till the end of January or beginning of February. He then awoke perfectly well, and, as on former occasions, had no recollection of anything :l...t had occurred. He resumed his business, and nothing more is on record concerning him.

A Small Hole to get Through,

The proprietor of a tan-yard, adjacent to a certain town in Virginia, concluded to build a stand for the purpose of vending his leather, baying raw hides and the like. Debating what sort of sign it was best to put up ior the ptsrpoae of attracting attention, at last a happy idea struck him. He bored an anger hole through the door-post, and stuck a calfs tail into it, with the bushy end flaunting ont After awhile he noticed a grave-lookiug personage standing near the doo/, with his spectacles, gazing intently on the sign. And there he continued to stand, gazing and gazing, until the curiosity of the proprietor was greatly excited in turn. He stepped ont and addressed the individual: ttood morning' said he. 'Morning.' said the other, ithout moving his eyesJBrom the sign. 'Ycu want to bay leather,' said the store-keeper *ho Are yott a fkrmer?" 'No.' 'Are yw» a Merchant *NV "Are you a lawyer 'No.' 'Are you a doctort. No.' 'Who are you thettf 'I'ma philosopher.
