I) Usual Effort* to Kush Through All II Sorts of Questionable Schemes, s/isl %o the laSiauavoirt Jwrul. r' aSKiNOTOX, June 30.—1 tis during just such ties as the present in Congress that the jobber wols in success and the dishonest member gets irough his questionable schemes. Things are ttdluww been for several days runmng loose in te ktanse. There have been such a small aumMfrrt of bills passed during the session, which has Pyeeri "stupid and tiremesome, and there are so j fmanf now almost perishing, and so many mem- ' hers desire the adoption of measures that they 4 , are interested in that many are passed which j iwould not, perhaps, under less exciting circumfetanpe be favorably considered. This desire to consider hills of so much personal interest to members moves the House to utilize the morning hour almost daily, and sometimes the morning hour consumes the greater portion of the day. The scenes presented each morning after the Journal is read suggest nothijig milder than a mob. From twenty to fifty HBhHjtats congregate like a rabble in the semiv circle „ before the Speaker and vehemently cry for recognition. In their hands they hold bills or other papers. These they flaunt about wildly in their hands as they scream to the Speaker. The gavel is wielded almost constantly. Everything is done by unanimous oonsent, and as there are so many who want unanimous consent it is not often that objection is made. So measure* are called up and passed faster than the auctioneer disposes of five-eent wares. Indeed the scene much an auction-room, but more that of an exchange. People are tired of this Congress. It has done littla to interest even those who participate directly iu the proceedings, and it is not a wonder that in the waning hours the weary, disgusted members, impetuous and anxious, should ask \ but few questions when a measure is taken up fur passage. So outrageous have the doings under these circumstances grown of late years that it has become customary for shrewd manipulators to postpone until the last few days of Congress action upon bills ■of doubtful character. During the excitement of the time they watch opportunities, when ingenious and inquiring members are out of their seats, and by a quick, unexpected move they get up their measures, they are passed, and the thing is soon forgotten. It was during a time-like this ja the last Congress that the whisky men tried to whip through the extension bill, but the astute Republican £ members were on tbe lookout tor them. The calendar of the House is to-day so large i that it would not be natural if there were no f steals iu it of the roost flagrant character. Some :: of them may be got through in the flurry that .-i is being enjoyed, and which will continue until Ift the close. The last twenty-four hours of a sesAsion, however, is most fruitful of frauds. Then HU is, however, that the watch dogs stand on tipin the House and watch for theii colleagues, Brho are tricky, now they are off their guard. V THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. . ■ Government Employe* Will Wot Be Given ■H * >n Hour’* Pay for Eight Hour’s Work, to the Indianapolis Journal. pB a W’ a s htnoto n, June 30. —Representatives of I labor organizations, who have been here for f some time looking after the interests of the !•• bill to adjust the account of. government tm- ' ployes under the eight-hour law, say they be- ■ lieve the action of the House on Saturday forf ever squelches the measure, and that so much hostility has been brought out against the proposition to pay laborers for the work they have k done over eight hours a day that it can not be'eome a law. Indeed, the hostility to the measure is in both branches of Congress so strong that the bill is doomed as long os this majority jl lasts, at least & {- Seyesal distinguished statesmen have said , that they would never consent to placing men is the employment of the government above '/those who work for private individuals. The whole upshot came from laborers in navy-yards complaining that they were compelled to work from nine to ten hours a day, when there was an executive order issued by Grant Hayes and ■j'ffipartment officers directing the law making height hours a day's work to be observed. They complained because they had to work more than eight bonrs, wanted the law enforced and pay for the over-time they worked. This opened up the whole labor question. It was contended by the advo cates of the measure that if the men worked ' more than eight hours a day, their superiors violated an executive order, that they should be restrained from it, and that the employes should be paid for the work wrung from them. Those opposed said it was unjust to the men who were compelled to work alongside the government’s employes to have to work two hours a day more - than the former; that it was legalizing favoritkm, and that no good reason could be shown Vhy a man who contracted to labor should not be required to do a clay's work, whether it was for the government or private parties. They thought custom the best thing to gauge what a day’s work was. The States and corporations of All kinds fixed ten hours as a day’s work. Conshould not set a precedent that affected the so directly in a matter touching private ■Hroveral members and senators who are known the friends of laboring men and the cliamIKions of labor, are opposed to the eight-hour Kv. They say they oppose it beeauso they are Khe friends of the laboring man. ■ MISOB MEHnON. ■ts President Busily Engaged in Making Out Appointments. to the Indianspolis Journal. SHINGTON,’ June 30.—Ts there is one official besieged just now than another, it is the He has been, for several days, at a batch of appointments, some of are to fill important positions, and every Hmbftious politician who wants a place in fed employment, and who can muster a respect|Hd backing, bas put in his claims. Especially true in regard to many men who claim a friendship with the President. They laboring under the impression that tlio T’res|Hphit, having been defeated for nomination, inHends to deal out official favors with no stinted hand to those who stood by him. More than a dozen men who were delegates from the South, and who voted for General Arthur at Chicago, have been hanging around here since the convention, importuning the President for position, ¥ basing their claims for recognition upon the fact | tUt they supported him at CMWgt. This puts i M^ 0 *^I** 1 ** in “ embarrassing situation, but

I am told that he is proceeding with his work of mapping out the places to be filled just as though there had been no Chicago convention. Democratic Pretenses of Economy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ■Washington, June 30.—“ The Senate is overpowering the economical and hypocritical majority in the House,” observed a Republican senator to day. “The House has had to recede from all 6f its important cuts in the appropriation hiUs, and has had to back water every time it puts its tongs to a Senate bill of any character.” “Why do the Democrats recede before the Senate?” I asked. “Because they do not mean what they appear to do in earnest. They are only hoodwinking the people, and want to make the country believe they would inaugurate great roforms were it not for tbe Republicans. There was probably never a body of men in the House before who were such moral cowards as the Democrats who occupy seats there to-day. You can not point to a single conscientious move they have made this winter, except the attempt to pass the Morrison bili. t Detail for the Swaisa Cos art-Martial.

Richmond, June 30. —The Second regiment of Indiana militia went into camp at Glen Miller, now “Camp Miller,” this afternoon, but musters as yet only about half its strength. Adjutantgeneral Carnahan thinks that the force in camp will become about 400 to-morrow, but as yet there are not more than half a dozen companies, Probably the camp trill not present a ing scene before Friday. Most elaborate preparations are making here for tbe celebration of the Fourth, and the militia are to join in the parade, and Camp Miller is to be the scene of the oratory and the fire-works. Besides the militia, the parade will present other good attractions, such as representations of the various manufacturing and business interests of Richmond; and as the oratory is to come from eminent men— Voorbees and Gresham among others—and as there will be no celebrations in otlier towns in Wayne county, we are confidently counting on a vast crowd, incalcuable noise aud discomfort; and a “big” time generally. For Saturday a highly interesting competitive drill is advertised. The competitors are to be the Second Ohio battery, of Cincinnati, and the Second Light Artillery, of Indianapolis. After this the’ battle of Lookout Mountain is to be re-fought, deadlessly, hut energetically.

Will Onniback Before the State Sanitary Meeting. At the meeting of the State Sanitary Association, held at Greensburg last week, Hon. Will Cnmback, in opening its sessions as president, delivered an address upon public hygiene, in which he said: “It is of the utmost Importance that in all our Common schools the laws of health should be taught, and no teacher ought to have a certificate as a teaoher who could not pass a thorough examination on this branch of education. It is but a small part of the evil that oan be reached by law. You cannot prevent gluttony by law, nor can you compel bathing. The children must be taught the importance of abstinence and the necessity of cleanliness, so that they will voluntarily undertake the preservation of their health. Physiology is a more important branch of education thau grammar or geography. It never should be omitted in the course of training. The process of digestion ought to be taught thoroughly, and all ought to know what is digestible and what is not. As far as it is practical to do so, the art of cooking should be taught in our schools, and St ought to he regarded as a greater accomplishment for a young lady to know how to prepare a first-rate loaf of bread thau to move gracefully In the waltz; to know more about biscuits than bangs, and fritters than frizzes. She ought to understand and practice the laws of health, that her pure and healthy blood would paint the roses on her cheeks i fast colons, roses that wonld.oxeite more admiration than the five-mt article purchased at tho drug store, which has to be daily renewed. The legitimate effect of alcohol and tobacco on the stomach and brain ought to be so impressed on the mind of entry scholar in our public schools, that there would he a lesser number of drunkards, and chewers and smokers of the vile weed in the nest generation. “A host of bold nefonusK* ought to be seat into what is called the first circles of American society and make it fashionable to be healthy. It seems to be entirely out of style to be vigorous and strong among the ben-ton. To have the tiedetoreux, or to be fuU of malaria, and be the constant owner of a first-rate article of neuralgia, make up, in Fashion’s eye, for a Shortage of bonk stock* or money. Indeed, you oan make a pretty fair specimen of upper tendom out of a little blue blood and a long list of complaints. “Those who are not- compelled to rush around to watering places and medical springs—those who eat three square meals a day—those who can go te sleep without opiates aud wake up without a fearful headache—hold a doubtful position la the fashionable world. They will have to have an abundance of wealth, some distinguished relations, end plenty of grit and independence to maintain their standing. All this ought to be reversed. If our social life was formed o a different basis, and if it was deemed low and vulgar to parade a long list of ills, most of which are imaginary, and R was regarded as the very

heighih of fashion to b* well and hearty, we would soon see an improvement in the health of the upper circles. It seems to me that an aristocracy based on disease —high-toned invalidism —is not just the thing to establish the fact that this is a progressive age. “To accomplish this reform it will be required to make a radical change in the customs of social life. The intemperance and gluttony of the midnight dinner will have to be abolished, and the feast of reason and flow of soul will have to be substituted. It is the champagne of the night before that lays the foundation for the real pain the next day, if you will tolerate so old and bad a pun as that. / * * “Health ought to he the rule and disease the exception, and so it might be, if We would be so impressed with the importance of tho subject as to give the matter our constant and earnest attention. In this beau tiful land of ours, with our clear blue sky, our delightful climate, our grand lofty mountains, and lovely valleys, our streams of pure spring water gushing from our hills, we have more doctors in proportion to the population than any other nation on the earth. And, notwithstanding all these, and many other natural advantages to preserve health, we manage to have aohes, and pains, and sickness enough to furnish them all some sort of subsistence If the streets and alloys of our towns aud cities were kept clean, and tile ditches were placed all through our low lands; if we would regulate our diet, quit the use of tobacco, beer and whisky, and bathe regularly and persistently, it would take the practice of a whole county to furnish support to one doctor, instead of forty or fifty subsisting off our misery. “In some countries disease results from the overcrowded population, low wages and high prices for food, and consequent starvation. No such reasons exist in this land of ours. In this regard we are the most favored people in the world. There is plenty of room and an abundance of food, and that of the best quality, and the industrious can command such compensation for their work as will bring plenty into every home. We onght to be the healthiest and most vigorous people on the face of the earth. * * * “It seems to me it is a shame and a disgrace that the American people, so intelligent on so many subjects, should be so ignorant in regard to the subject we have met to consider. I trust this meeting will be the beginning of many to come after it, and that it may be the means of creating a spirit of inquiry and investigation so that we may all know better hew to take care of our health and our life. * * * Tho greatest sci : enee of all is to know how to live. The true test of progress is not that of onr inventions for rapid locomotion or ■ the quick transmission of our thoughts to those at a great distance, but is rather tbe processes by which we are able to present the highest type of real manhood. Man is the noblest work of God. From the human brain have come the wonderful conceptions, revealing some hitherto hidden law of the universe of God. Man ought to know, first of all, the laws that will bring him up te the highest point of perfection physically and mentally. Let not the locomotive, the telegraph, the telephone, the electric light, the ciond-capped towers and the gorgeous palaces tell of his genius and his power, and he at the same time be a dwarf and an invalid. Let him be as God intended, in the beauty and perfection of his being, the crowning glory of all.” THE FIRE RECORD. Burning of a Catholic Orphan Asylum Nsjb Newport, Ky.

Jjj DARK YEAR FOR DARK HORSES. What the Elephant Learned in Wandering Around After the Performaaoe. Robert J. Burdette. jk The Elephant, elephas republicanisms, w 9 wandering around the tent after the eloee of t:H afternoon performance, when he Came to an el ceedingly dark and mysterious Hole, frt H which nothing appeared to have been on t. H point of emerging fbr an extended space (te period. He knocked at the Hole with a dull thud,! when a vague, indefinable intonation bade him come in and look out for the step. He said that his spectacles were in his proboscis—refraining, by a violent effort, from saying portemantean—and he believed he would stay out and look in for the step. “It is exceedingly dark in there,” he continued. “Very dark, indeed,” said the voice, with a Cimmerian sigh. “I do not remember ever to have net seen the penumbra so gloomily unil laminated with nocturnal shadow." “Do you enjoy that nigrescent sort of swartHi ness for a steady diet?” asked the Elephant, gen tly trying to punch a hole in the opacity wit’r'W his lightest tusk, “Well,” replied ttie Stygian voice, “I seem i 1 stay in it this year.” i “Ah," said the Elephant. “I see—or rather 1® do not see. But I apprehend, in a murky way, * that yon are the Dark Horse?” “The same.” replied the darksome one; black midnight looks like a spirit of light- when she strays groping into my stall.” “And so you didn’t get out at ail at Chicago,’ continued the Elephant. “Get out?” said the sunless one. “I backed further in and lampblacked my hoofs.” “You may prance out next month?” the Elephant suggested. “I may,” came back the shady response. “There is a blind negro writing a name on my flank with ivory black, but I am too densely ig- 4 norant to read names. Good-bye; pull down tho " blind, please.” And the elephant walked back to the s&lar stack and laid in a ton Os reservation hay foiffi supper, remarking, as he picked his teaks, that™ this was the darkest year for dark horses he had seen since Dred Scott was President.
