Congress apparently is to keep up a faree of continuin in session during the holidays. There is less than a quorum of the house present now, and the senate has refused to pass the resotion for an adjournment.

We learn this morning what Bismarck thinks of the relations between Germany and Russia.

Another sane person has been released from the Utica, .New York insane hospital. These cases hare of late become unusually prominent. The tendency of such instances is calculated to increase the number of those who believe the insane hospitals are more or less filled with aane persons placed in them by designing persons. There ia nething more abhorred than the thought of a sane person being eonflned with lunatics and treated as one who has lost the only characteristic that draws the line between the harsan and the animal. There is. no doubt that much wrong and •raelty have been practiced in committing persona to insane hospitals and in their aubsequent treatment while confined. The modern institutions are great improvements on those that have existed, but there is yet plenty of room for improvement. The eonnty poor farms are filled with inaane persona who are subject to outrageous treatment, of which t'.ere are frequent exposures. The whole question is one to which more attention should be devoted by thoso who have directly or indirectly any connection with such refuges.

Tne Cincinnati Enquirer says Senator Voorhees "tolerates no nonsense" about civil service reform. The trouble with all these Democrats who, now that they have an opportunity to help secure a reform in the service are obstructing every step in that direction, is that they will not tolerate any movement which may keep a Demo crat out of office. All the talk that the measure now under discussion would not be thorough is mere pretext. Up to that time when there was a reasonable assurance a reform was to be inngurated the Democracy was loud in proclaiming civil sorvioe reform as its great doctrine, but now when an opportunity occars to help the good work along it is found making flimsy excuses for opposing all efforts at reform. The present course of the Democracy iB characteristic of the party. It would prefer assailing the Republican party to the performance of any good act. It has continued in this sort of tactics since the Republican party began suppressing the rebellion, and it has become such a habit with it to growl that it can do nothing elso, no matter how inviting the opportunity. In all tho speeches made in the senate against the bill now under consideration there has been no offer of anything better.

Tin

•ell Removed—Sergennt 15al tontine's Suggestive Itemnrks. NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—There is no longer any doubt that the Labouchere and the Langtry by their quarrel divulged their true character and standing at home. They had a very fine prospect for grazing in green fields over here, and should have kept up th« deception a little longer n© matter at what cost of personal wishes in a small subject like Gebhart. Sergent Ballantine the eminent English barrister, arrived in this country at about the same time the scandal became public in New York, and his talk to a reporter then has more meaning now since the Labouchere has been disclosed as Mrs. Pigeon, and the Langtry has openly defied decency. Tho barrister said: "Was there any expectation that Mrs. Langtry could act?" "Was the dispatch purporting to come from the Prince of Wales, congratulating her on her debut in America accccpted as genuine?" These and other (juestions being answered, he asked if it was really true that Mrs. Labouchere and Mrs. Langtry had quarreled and parted.

MRS. I.AXGTRY INTERVIEWED. Special to tho Cincinnati Commercial. PHILADELPHIA, Dec 21.—Mr. Frederick Gebhardt and Mrs. Langtry paid a visit to-day to Caldwell's jewelry store, wheie he purchased a handsome fan for her, which cost fifty dollars.

hand, and the visitor arose to withdraw. "Come and see me again," said Mrs. Langtry, a3 she shook hands cordially. "This week is my holiday, as I am going to study hard after leaving here."

MBS. LABOUCDERE'S SUIT.

Special Dispatch to Cln. Gazette. NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—It was admitted by the firm of Dunning, Edsall, Hart & Fowler to-day that they appeared for Mrs. Labouchere or Mrs. Pigeon in the divorce proceedings instituted by her in Virginia. Mr. Labouchere, it was Baid, had purchased valuable mining and plantation property in Virginia and Georgia, Mrs.

Labouchere has been separated legally from Mr. Pigeon for many years, and the American divorce was merely to allow the transfer of the southern property without the production of the records of the English courts. It was added that Mr. Labouchere was expected here in February.

PATXl'S PEER.

Debut of Mine. Scalchl in "Semlramlde." New York Special. It is certainly unfortunate that i'.l ness so long delayed the appearence of Mine. Scalchi, tor at her debut in Rossini's "Semiramide" at the Academy last evening she proved herself to be an artist of extraordinary excellence. She is a true dramatic singer with a contralto of unusual richness, volume and compass, not absolutely even, for there are tones in it which, witiiout being thin, are less mellifluous than others, but these have an expressive and appealing quality, and sometimes by their strange eloquence really heighten her effects, and with her electric voice is joined the most triumphant facility of vocalism in a broad and most noble style, so that the conjunction of her singing with Mine. Patti's, as it was heard last night, was a thing long to be remembered. It certainly was astonishing to hear a singer matching Mine. Patti in lioriture note for note with 110 perceptible difference of ease, with the same exquisite purity of intonation and the same breadth of phrasing and completeness of finish. But this was what surprised the large audience which last night assembled, apparently with languid curiosity, to hear the new singer. The languor veryspeedily disappeared. With her first appearance Mine. Scalchi won the atteitfion of 11 le house, and from then until the finish of the opera her course was a continuous triumph. Mme. Patti was in good voice and spirits, and under ordinary circumstances would have won the customary sole distinction of the evening, but with Mme. Scalchi's performance the unusual spectacle was presented of a division of the honors which was at least equal, the applause and frequent recalls being designed as much for the contralto as for the prima donna. The minor parts were well supported by Signor Clodio, Signor Monti and M. 1'urat, the former singing excellently in the first act. Signor Costa was sufficiently impressive as the shade of Ninus.

A WEDDING INTERRUPTED.

Why a Carolina Bride Objected to the I'so of the Self-Cocking Revolver. Henry Grady in tlio Atlanta Constitution.

By the way, Ballard Smith tells a story of a North Carolina wedding. It runs this way: It was in the Carolina backwoods, a country couple and a country parson. Though a Baptist, tho minister wore an old surplice. When lie had finished the ceremony he said: "An' them'uns who God hath joined."— "Stop tliar, parson," 6aid the groom "Don't sav them'uns say these'uns!" "John, said the parson. "I tech you at school, and I say them'uns." "These'uns," shouted the groom, drawing his pistol.

The parson, seeing the movement, fired through his surplice and the groom dropped dead—winging the parson as he went down. There wau a lively fusilade of perhaps thirty shots. When the smoke cleared away a half dozen men were on tho floor. The bride, peeping over the pulpit to which she had fled for refuge, gazed mournfully on the scene and said: 'Them "sell'-cockin' pistols is a play in' hell with my prospecks!"

Of course the 6tory is an impossible one, and yet, said Mr. Smith: "That is the staple story of the south that is circulated and believed throughout the north. While such a thing could hardly have happened in North Carolina any more than in New York, the average northern lnan smiles incredulously when you tell him that this performance is improbable at a Carolina wedding."

MARRIED OUT OP PIQUE.

How a California Bride May Have the Opportunity to Repent at leisure. San Francisco Chronicle.

A runaway marriage has just come to light that has set society all agog with excitement. The interested parties, now man and wife, were Miss Belle House and a Mr. Fellows, both residents of East Oakland, the latter being a relative of the late E. C. Fellows, of the Central Pacific railroad. The young couple met for thefirsttime in their lives three days before their marriage took place, the ceremony resulting from pique on the part of the young lady, who discovered that the youth upon whom she was lavishing her affections was false to her. Meeting him at a party on Fourth avenue on November 24th, she taxed him with his perfidy and vowed she would marry somebody before the week was out. At the same party she met young Fellows, who is a brakem&n upon the local road. During the evening, having become enamored of the fair Belle, he proposed an engagement looking to a marriage in the future. This the young lady declined with scorn, stating that if he wanted her he must take her at once. He agreed, and on the following Monday they went across to San Francisco and were married by Rev. Dr. Neil, at the Episcopal church on California and Steiner streets.

The next day they returned home, intending to keep the marriage a secret, but it leaked out and war was declared in the maternal mansion of the young bride. She sent for her husband, who, not knowing how much had been told, denied the marriage, but finally owned up and agreed to take his wife home if at the end of six months she could bake a loaf of bread that would meet the approval of his friends.- The matter is still in abeyance, but it is believed that the young folks will shortly settle matters and live together, bread or no bread. The bride is a handsome brunette, about 10 years of age, and the groom is 22 years of ago.

DIGNITY.

When It Works All Right ami When IT Iucsii't. Iiill Nye.

Col. Ingersoll said at Omaha the other day that he hated a dignified man, and that lie never knew one who had a particle of sense that such men never learned and were constantly forgetting something.

Josh Billings says that gravity is no more the sign of mental strength than a paper collar is the evidence of a shirt.

This leads us to say tiiat'the man who ranks as a dignified snoozer and banks on winning wealth and a deathless name through this one source of strengh, is in the most unenviable position of any one we know. Dignity does not draw. It answers in place of intellectual tone for twenty minutes, but after awhile it fails to get there. Dignity works all right in a wooden Indian or a drum major, but the-man who desires to draw a salary through life and to be sure of a visible means of support will de well to make some other provision than a haughty look and the air of patronage. Col. Ingersoll may be wrong in the matter of future punishment but his head is pretty level on the dignity question. Dignity works all right with a man who is worth a million dollars and has some doubts about his suspenders, but with the man whe is to get a large sum of money before he dies and get married and accomplish some good, must place himself before his fellow men in the attitude of one who has ideas that are not too lonely and isolated.

Let us therefore aim higher than simply to appear austere. Let us study to aid in the advancement of humanity and the increase of baled information. Let us struggle to advance and improve the world, even though in doing so we may get into ungraceful positions, and at times look otherwise than pretty. Thus we shall get over the ground, and though we may do it in the eccentric style of the camel, we will get there, as we said before, and we will have camped and eaten our supper while th« graceful and dignified pedestrian lingers along the trail.

Works, not good clothes and dignity, are the grand hailing sign, and ho who halts and refuses to jump over an obstacle because he may not do it so as to appear as graceful as a gazelle, will not arrive until the festivities are over.

PRANK FBAYKE'S IIE ARTLESSNESS.

Eastern Iron Interest#. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.—The manfacturers of pig iron, bar iron, plate and sheet iron, and other kinds of iron in the states east of the Alleghenies decided to submit a statement to congress expressing their satisfaction at the appointment of the tariff comission, and continuing, "while not approving all the changes proposed by thecommission, we believe that in the main such reductions will not paralyze the industries to be effectod by them.

Xegro Pressed to Death ia Bale of Cotton. Raleigh (N. C.) Dispatch.

On November 20 James Bradley, a negro living at Bell's Ferry, Pitt county, disappeared, and a search for him proved fruitless. He was about to marry a woman of that section, when two women came from Hyde county, each of whom declared she was Bradley's wife, and each exhibited a child, of which he was alleged to be the father. These developments broke off the marriage, and threw Bradley into a fit of rage and despair. He went to the cotton gin house, while the laborers were at dinner, it is thought, and threw himself into the half filled box in which the cotton is packed into bales, when the laborers returned the box was filled and the bale was pressed, bagged and sold. In a few days it was shipped to Greenville. There a trader cutting into it found a shoe. This, to his horror, he found contained a foot. The bale was then torn apart by the eager crowd, when the body of Bradley was exposed, pressed flat, and with the head crush ed to a jelly. The evidence shows that the negro, declaring that he would end his life, took several drinks and then threw himself inthepiess. The case excites unusual and widespread excitement. It was at first stated that Bradley had been thrown into the press, but this was proved to have been false, although the laborers were all discharged.

Married People in Literature. New Albany Ledger. There is an impression afloat that so ciety in this country is presided over almost altogether by young people the chaperone being dispensed with, and the fathers and mothers put to bed at dark, so to speak, while youth and gayety hold high carnival with none to molest. The capabilities of our young people as leaders of the social rush for enjoyment is a theme with which we do not propose to entangle our pen at present but we would like to ask, in a genuine'fever for information, whether the father and mother of this day and generation are really considered trustworthy protectors for the charges they have to keep. If the married people who gambol through the pages of the average American novel are fair representatives of their class, we rise to protest against them ao being unfit guardians for the young and thoughtless. Marital inconstancy, as the popular diversion of the average matron nowadays, has become the all absording theme of our best novelists—the gifted writers who are supposed to be building up a national liW erature as an intellectual legacy for fu" ture generations. That modern novel which contains the greatest number of unhappy married people to the square inch lias been voted tne banner book of .all our libraries and reading clubs.

Chalmers in aNew Role.

MEMPHIS, Dec. 21.—The Appcal'6 Oxford, Miss., special .says: General Chalmers turns up here in a new role, that of assistant United States attorney, to prosecute parties charged with alleged offenses under the election laws. In his opening speech yesterday in prosecuting the Lafayette county board of election commissioners for failure to erase certain names of parties alleged not to be legal voters, he announced that he had been regularly retained by the government to assist District Attorney Chandler in prose-" cuting such cases. The grand jury just discharged, it is claimed, did not contain a supporter of Manning at the late election, and the petit juries are similarly made up.

The first aim of THE TRIBUNE IS to be the best and foremost newspaper in America. It has Its own telegraph line to Washington, li uses the cables freely, [and it scours thc world for the news, printing all that is useful. It tells what is worth it in detail. The rest Is put into bright short paragraphs. Its contents are fresh, choice, varied and thoroughly unobjectionable in every respect. THE TRIBUNE has long enjoyed the largest circulation among the best people. It Intends to let no rival usurp its place.^THB TBIBUNE is the organ of no individual, of no faction or clique, and of no Interest adverse to the public good. It knows no service other than that of the people.

THE TRIBUNE believes th« well-being of the country will be best preserved by keeping Its Government in Republican hands. But It does not believe In Ring Rule, Bosslsm or Corruption In Office. It has done hard work, and taken great risks, in efforts to purify the Republican party. It expects to continue in that course, wherever or whenever this may seem needful—not doubting that this is the true road to a worthy Republican success in 1884.

Letter From a Traveler. KANSAS CITY, MO., Sept. 20, 1^-. I think it a duty I owe to humanity to say what your remedy lias done for nie. One year ago I contracted a bud cafe of blood disease, and not knowing the result of such troubles, I allowed it. to run on for some time, but finally applied to tho best physicians in this city, who treutod mc for six months. In that time I took ovev WJO pills of pmioiimido of mercury* irrain each, and kart run down In wcijrht from 210 to l.»7 pounds. ni)(l wan confined to my bed wiMi Mcrcunal Hhcumatism, scarcely able to turn myself In bed.

use. I commenced the use of it with very little faith, and in less than three weeks was able to take my place on the road. The sores and copper-colored spots gradually disappeared, and to-day I have not a sore or spot on my person, and my weight is 217 pounds, being more than it ever was. I do not wish you to publish my name, but you may show this letter to any wlio doubt the merit of S. S. S., for I know it is a sure cure.

After being treated for a long time by the medical profession of this town with no benefit, lie eomnienced takings. S.K. After persistently taking it two months, he'was cured. Being acquainted with him for twenty years thereafter, I can testify that the disease never made its return.
