Thus far in the present Congress 4,000 have been introduced. The number of bills is unprecedented.

The women of Kansas are getting their rights. Seven of them are School Superintendents,twenty are preachers, twenty six doctors, four lawyers and three editors. THE sub-oommittee of the House of Congress committee on appropriations, favors a postoffice appropriation of about $48,000,000, an increase of $4,-' 000,000 over last year.

The first cause of the railway accident at Spuyten Duyvil, N. Y., has been traced to whisky. One of a party of carousing New York legislators pulled a cord that put on the air brakes, and stopped their train until it was run into by the following train. Congressman Browne is trying to get an appropriation of $50,000 for a Postofflce building at Richmond, Congressman Peelle wants more cannon for the Morton monument and Congressman Calkins is pushing a bill requiring a registration of voters in Utah.

There has been a heavy snow storm in Southern California and Arizona, delaying trains on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The snow is from sixteen to eighteen inches deep, lying in many places among olive and orange groves, something heretofore unknown in that region. Another lot of eight thousand chests of tea, soaked in water and scorched by Are, has been thrown upon the market at auction sale, and will impose its nastiness on many millions of “thecup that that cheers but not inebriates.” It is said that Commissioner Dudley favors the bill introduced by Senator Logan, proposing to inflict a fine of SI,OOO and imprisonment at hard labor for a maximum term of five years upon any claim agent or pension attorney who may demand or receive greater compensation than is allowed to them by law.

In a message to the New York Legislature Governor Cornell directs attention to the recent railway disaster at Spuyten Duyvil, which he regrets as one, that could have been easily prevented and was wholly inexcusable. He calls upon the Legislature for speedy action looking for better laws ni this direction. The new Southern Pacific rohte across the continent is suffering seriously from the lack of water for engines on the plains in Western Texas and New Mexico, and trains have been late from six to twelve hours every day since tbe line was opened. All the carpenters and bridge builders that cau be secured, are building tanks for a sufficient supply of water. The Edmunds’ bill regulating the Electoral count, which passed the Senate of the Forty-fifth Congress, is regarded with great favor by Senators of all parties in the present Congress. Senator Pugh has introduced a bill, which is supplemental to that of Edmunds, making it a criminal offense for any person to frame simulated electoral returnslfrom any State.

A correspondent of the York Herald, who has been to Panama looking in to Isthmus ship-canal matters, says that the estimate made by the French contractors is at least $60,000,000 less than the lowest cost fixed by the technical commission. He thinks that it is simply a bait to investors. DeLessep's plan by a sea level cut is, it is generally agreed, the best of all presented. The Secretary of the Navy” has*"received the following from Engineer Melville, of the lost Jeannette: “Melville, Danenhower, and eleven men returned to the Arctic Ocean, and found the log-books and four records left by DeDong. No tidings of the second cutter or Lieutenant Chipp. The search will be continued during the winter. lam acquainted with the country where DeLong and party are, and request orders to remain with two men to renew tde search in March, Danenhower and nine men to return to the United States.

I A hint is given to towns and cities that desire to increase their manufacturing facilities, by the business men of Baltimore, who propose to organize a manufacturers’ aid association with a capital of $1,000,000, the prime object of which shall be to erect and equls buddings with motive power for the pun pose of renting the same to manufacturers who can not afford to own their own works. It is believed that such an association will attract important manufacturing interest to the city. . The late Orson Pratt was one of the original Mormon apostles, and none exceeded him in zealous propagation of MormoD doctrines, but he failed to convince his own son of their truth, and the latter gives the reason as follows: “I am the son of my father’s first wife, and ha,d a mother who taught me the evil of the system. There are many such persons in Utah, and the tendency of their education being opposed to Mormonism, they grow up hostile to the institution, and more than half are apt to be disgusted with all forms of religion.”

Chicago has a court muddle which "passeth understanding”. The Illinois Supreme Court has declared the Probate Court of Cook county unconstitutional, and, as many estates have peen administered by it and titles to much real estate given, there is likely to be a great deal of trouble. Many divorces have been declared, and these also are illegal. The Supreme Court decided, also, that the County Court had no jurisdiction in chancery cases, thus overthrowing all the chancery business done in five.yeare. No adequate remedy has been suggested. A ‘‘Sunbeam” says: ‘‘A thoroughly American city has been laid out in the State of Chiapas, Mexico. The site is a beautiful plateau of land, through which runs a never-failing stream of mountain spring water, clear as crystal, full of fish, and affording power for any amount of manufacturing machinery, at an altitutde of 3,000 feet above the sea level, on the line of the Mexican Southern railroad. It is called Allen City. Around the city are laid out and taken up twenty-four coffee farms, each touching the city plat. There will he over 3,000,000 coffee trees in nursery cultivation at this place within the coming year, all to be transplanted and raised to bearing within the next lour years. All goods, stores and supplies, agricultural implements, machinery, building material, and furnitdre for the colonists are exempt from duty; also all exports and imports of productions of the country, and stock for work or breeding purposes, are exempt for ten years. The colonists thus far are from California.”

Bro. Gardner on Negro Minstrelsy.

Detroit Free Press. “I hev been axed,” began the old man as the mercury in the thermometer hanging alongside of the Btove began to boil, -‘I hev bin axed what relashun de negro minstrel troupe b’ars to de cull’d race. To return an eff-hand answer I should say dat it b’ars about de same relashun dat a hasty puddin’ does to a ten thousand dollar paintin’. I hev neber bin able to diskiver it. De cull’d man may dance an’ sing, buthe neber trabels on his ignorance nor on de jokes an’ gags of de pas’ ginerashun. If 20 cull’d men should put on wigs an’ paint up to resemble 20 white men, an sot down befo’ de public an’ ax why an elephant was like a gimlet an’ what was the difference between a clam on de sand and a sand on de clam, dey would de hooted off de stage. Yet. de public will see white men disguise deirselves as negroes applaud de gags, an* jokes, an conumdrums dat de poorest African in Detroit would be ashamed to acknowledge. If de public hankers fur sich shows, an’ mus’ hev em, let ’em go on, but doan’ let white folks deceive deirslves or be deceived, Continer to call ’em negro minstrel shows, but doan’ look fur de negro in ’em. He ain’t dar. He’s home in de bussom of his family, warmin' his feet, iearnin’ de chillen’ to read, an’ tellin’ deole woman dat all flesh am grass.”
