WASH LWTOX The Senate Committee on Printing, by a vote of two to one, has decide I to report adversely the nomination of Public Printer Benedict, and he will probably be rejected. The fight against him, says a Washington special, has been made by the Typographical Union through its local rej resentatives, and the objections advanced have been many. Mr. Benedict is not a practical printer in the meaning of the law, which requires that the man at the head of this great institution shall be one. He has been the publisher of a country newspaper, but never learned the trade and never worked at it, although in his business he has picked up a general knowledge of the art. He is not a member of the union. He has not recognized tho union in the management of the oilice, and has got the whole labor element down on him because of some petty indiscretions. He has appointed to positions under him as many as thirty persons from tho town where he lived when he Jot this office, a little village in New York, and has dismissed old and influential members of the union to give them places. He has had the big-head to an unlimited extent, and, coming from a little country weekly newspaper office to be tho manager of tho biggest printing institution in tho world, he has an idea that he is as great a man as the President of tho United States. Ho has treated tho Senators like ordinary applicants for office, and they do not relish such conduct after the deferential manners of Bounds and his staff. Another mistake Benedict has made is to attribute all tho bad management nt tho printing office to tho condition in which things wore 1< ft by his predecessor. It could not be expected that a new man would come in and get on without friction, and complaint was natur; 1, but Benedict tells every one, and wrote a let er to Congress, charging all the blame to Rounds, and the latter has a good many friends in the Senate. who have resented this sort of scapegoat business, and they are for rejection.

California has been flooded with visitors from the East, during the past three months, most of w’hom have taken advantage of the liberal excursion rates offered by the various railroads which reach the Pacific coast. Over ten thousand of these excursionists who are now seeing the sights in the Golden State will return home within the next sixty- days via the Denver and Rio Grande and C., B. &Q. railways. This route is selected for the return trip on account of the beautiful Colorado mountain scenery that it offers to the traveling public, an attraction which seems to be irresistible during the spring and summer seasons. The Northern Pacific Road is building a car to supply light, heat, and pure water to passenger trains. It is to be placed immediately behind the locomotive. .. .It is reported that the Denver and Rio Grande Road is negotiating in London for funds to extend its track from Green River to Santa Cruz, 800 miles.

A message from tho President vetoing the bill appropriating SHI,OOO for tho distribution of seeds in the counties of Texas that suffered from drought. Th > PreMdonl says. "I so-t obliged to withhold my approval of tho plan, as proposed Oy this bill, to indulge it benevolent and charitable sentiment through tho appropriation of public funds for that purpose. I cun find no warrant for such an appropriation in the constitution, and I do not believe that tne power and duty of th 1 General Government ought to be extended to tho relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, 1 think, be steadfastly resisted to the end that tho lesson should be consi ntly enforce I that, though tho people support the Government,the Government should not support the people The friendliness and charity of our eountr, num can alwm s bo relied upon to relievo their fellow citizens in misfortune This his been repeatedly and quite recently demonstrated Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Govt rnment, and wo. kens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthen the bonds of a common brotherhood. It is within my personal knowledge that individual aid mis to s nue extent already been extended to tho sufferers men tioued in this oil!. The failure of the proposed appropriation of tIO.U 10 additional to meet their remainimg wants will not necessarily result in continued distress if the emergency is fully made known to the people of the country. It is here suggested that the Commissioner of Agriculture is annually directed t> expend a large sum of money for the preparation and distribution of sei Is and other things of this description, two-thirds of which are, upon the request of Senators, Representatives, m l delegates in Congress, supplied t > th mi for distribution among their constituents. The appropriation of the current, year for this pur pose is 8100,000, and it will probably be no less in the appropriation for the ensuing year.’ I understand that a largo quantity of grain is furnished for such distribution, and it is supposed that this fres apportionment among their neighbors is a privilege which may be waived by our Senators and Representatives. If sufficient of them should request the Commissioner of Agriculture t > send their shares of the grain thus allowed them to the suffering farmers of Texas they might be enabled to sow their crops. Tho constituents for whom, in theory, this grain is intended, could well bear the temporary deprivation, mid the donors would experience the satisfaction attending deeds of charity. ” Ante-Mortem SI atomen ts. This is what a lawyer said to about ante-mortem statements: lam constantly surprised at the ignorance of the police, and of others whose ignorance is less excusab’e, on the subject of ante-mortem statements. A man receives a mortal wound, and it is desired to preserve his e idence for use on the trial of the murderer, and you find all sorts of blunders committed about the simp'est thing in the world. I have not known an ante-mortem statement to be taken here in years witliout sumnuming a Justice of the Peace and having the d \ ing man sworn. Now, that is all nonsense. An ante-mortem statement is, at law, a well-known exception to the rue that evidence must be sworn. Th re is a'so great care taken to write it out, which is a wise precaution; but it ought to be well understood that even that is not necessary to its admission m evidence. The one thing that is necessary is that the wounded man should. sa. th it he makes the statement under the impression that he will not recover; and that is the very point that least attention is paid to. It is also a great b’under to postpone the writing out of the statement until the dying man feels that he will not recover. The facts may all be w ritten out before he begins to sink, and when his mind is stronger; and then when he feels that he is d. ing he has only to say that he believes he will never recover, and that he reiterates his former statement. The 8 tate’s Attorne, ought to print a tract on this subject for the use of policemen and others.”— Chicago Evening Journal.

American humorists are beginning to imitate the side-splitting wit. of our English comic papers. Here is one of tho attempts: “A Salem young man calls his sweetheart Oleo Margarine, because he wouldn’t have any other but her. ”

Lincoln’s Childhood, Os all these years of Abraham Lincoln’s childhood we know almost nothing. He lived a solitary life in the woods, returning from his lonesome little games to his cheerless home. He never talked of these days to his intimate friends. Once, when asked what he remembered about tho war with Great Britain, he replied: “Nothing but this. I had been fishing one day and caught a little fish which I Was j taking home. 1 met a soldier ijj the road, and having always been told OX home that we must be good to the soldiers, I gave him my fish.” This is only a faint glimpse, but what it shows is rather pleasant—the generous child and the patriotic household. But there is no question that these first years of his life had their lasting effect upon tho temperament of this great mirthful and melancholy man. He had little schooling. He accompanied his sister Sarah to the only schools.that existed in their neighborhood, one kept by Za hariah Riney, and another by Caleb Hazel, where he learned his alphabet and a little more. But of all those advantages for the cultivation of a young mind and spirit which every home now offers to its children, the books, toys, ingenious games, and daily devotion of parental love, he knew absolutely nothing.— Century. The Beginning of tile End. Tho beginning of disease is a slight debility or disorder of soino of tho vital organs, the stomach, the liver or the bowels usually. There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is troublesome, the skin grows tawny and unhealthy looking, there uro pains in the right side or through the ride shoulder blade. The climax is often an utter prostration of the physical energies, perhaps a fatal issue. But if the difficulty is met iu time with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which is ulways effective as a remedy, aud it should be resorted to at an early stage, there will be no reason to apprehend those injurious subsequent effects upon the system often entailed by entirely cured diseases. Far better is it, also, to employ this safo remedial agent in fever and ague, and other malarial complaints, than quinine and other potent drugs, which, even when they do prove effectual for a time, ruin tho stomach and impair the general health. Why the Nightingale Sings. The Westphalians have a curious explanatory myth regarding the nightingale. They imagine that the bird’s song may lie rendered in these syllables of human speech: Is tit, is tit, is tit, to wit, to wit—Trizy, Trizy, Trizy, to bucht, to bucht, to bucht. Hut the last syllables are the usual shepherd's cry to his dog when he wishes the sheep collected. Therefore Trizy must be the name of the dog to whom the cry to bucht is addressed. Therefore the nightingale must have been a shepherdess, whom a shepherd cursed because she always postponed the marriage she had promised. He uttered the wish that she might not sleep till the day of judgment. Nor does she, for may not her voice still be hoard at night as she cries to bucht, to bucht, to bucht to her good dog Trizy? The same people give a stiauge explanation of the face of the shard, or flounder, which is all awry, with its eyes on one side of its face instead of being straight, like the eyes of most other fish. Originally its face was a straight and sensible fish face, but one day it insulted a passing herring and made a mocking face at it, for which, as a punishment, it was never able to draw its face back to its original position.— Gentleman's Magazine. A single fact is worth a ship load of argument. This miv well be applied to St. Jacobs Oil. which is more efficacious than all other liniments. Mr. John Gregg, a well-known citizen of Watsonville, California. found it to be indispensable as a cure for rheumatism. Price, fifty cents. The National Druggist gives this form of an absolutely clear solution of shellac: Prepare first an alcoholic solution of shellac in the usual way; a little benzole is then added, and the mixture well shaken. In the course of twenty-four to forty-eight hours the fluid will have separated into two distinct layers, an upper alcoholic stratum perfectly clear, and of a dark red color, and under it a turbid mixture containing the impurities. The clear solution may be decanted off. An ounce of discretion is better than a pound of knowledge. Why not spend twen-ty-five cents for a bottle of Red Star Cough Cure, and save a large doctor's bill? A Betsy’s Banquet. At a banquet given by Queen Elizabeth, among the guests who sat down were the famous Lord Newbottle and his brother, who had just returned from a successful expedition against i the Spaniards. “This is old and excellent wine,” said Newbottle. “Yes,” replied the Queen, “and thou shouldst not drink sparingly of it, for, though there is a scriptural injunction against putting new wine into old bottles, yet it commendeth the putting of old wine into Newbottles;“ whereupon, according to a court historian, his Lordship proceeded with great promptness to get drunk, achieving such success in that direction that, after repeated efforts, he failed to hit the floor of the great hall of William Rufus with his embroidered hat. — Arkansaw Traveler^ Dr. Pierce’s “Pellets”—tho original “Littio Liver Pills” (sugar-coated)—euro sick and bilious headache, sour stomach, and bilious attacks.
