•/** : m mm OOFLURBSSIOXAL LEGISLATION Important Bllln Introduce*! In the Senate and HOUSA. , 1 Senator Hitchoock lias introdnoed a * till in the Senate, and Mr. Kidder, of Dakota, a similar one in the House, pro tiding lor THE LOMATAON of the Territory of Pembina ofct of the northern part of Dakota. "F-S Mr. Sherman has introduced in the Senate a resolution proposing a com- •ACN "aaii of money and accounts for the " States and Oreat Britain. It re- the President to propose a treaty CONVENTION between the two countries to .'LISH A dollar? as the money of ae- 3NET in both of them. It is to be rep- lesented by coin formed of the standard Sf gold 9-10 pure metal and 1-10 copper r copper and silver alloy. FiVe of these FCSTR dollars are to be the equivalent of« ONE pound sterling. Gold coin of the ions denominations' conforming to standard are to be issued and be LE- M tender within each country. Senator Booth HAS introduced a bill in xelation to lands heretofore granted to Ktilroad companies. It provides that all V' «uch lands on either side of any portion Of the road accepted by the Government •Til;.".#8 completed shall be subjeefc to loosl fcsatiou, and requires the Commissioner OF the General Land Office to prepare ind deliver, without delay, patents for ill LAUDS thus earned, if free from con­ flicting claims, and clearly within the Emits of the grant. If th*> <?osts of sur- *EY, etc., are not paid by the railroad fbmpany, they may be paid by any pur- ••• ;• .̂ chaser at tax sale of such lands, and constitute a lien upon the patent, which •hall then be issued to the company. HIE bill also requires the Pacific Bail- load Companies to sell any land not dis­ posed of within three years after the completion of any road to the first set- " fler, upon compliance with the terms of ttie Pre-emption laws. Representative O'Brien proposes the following amendment to the Constitution of the United States : SUCTION 1. No State Bhallmake any law re- QPOCTING an establishment of religion or pro­ hibiting free exercise thereof, and no minister or preacher of the Gospel of any religions creed OR denomination shall hold any office of triust OR emolument under the United States, or under any State, nor shall any religious test be REQUIRED as a qualification for any office of ̂S FC'U8T AN7 State, or under the United Bsc. 2, No mciney received by taxation in any State for the support of public schools or de­ rived from amy public fund therefor, nor any publie lands devoted thereto, shall ever be un­ der the control of any religious sect, nor shall any m6ney raised nor lands so devoted be divided between religious sects or denomina­ tions, nor Bhall any minister or preacher of the Gospel of any religious creed or denomination hold office in connection with the public schools in the State, nor be eligible to any position of trust or emolument, in connection with any in­ stitution, public or private, in any State, or in the United States, which shall be supported in whole or in part from any public fond. ^Representative Hopkins, of New York, proposes to enact that " any citi­ zen of the United States who shall orig­ inate or discover any NEW plant or fruit, or variety of fruit, grain 3 vegetable, vine, herb. root, TREÊ wood, plant, shrub or flower, or seed, cion, bulb, tuber, eye or cutting thereof, shall, upon compliance •with the conditions of the bill, have the sole tight and liberty of growing, propa­ gating and selling the same for A period of seventeen years." The stealing covered up and carried through Congress in bills for the relief of claimants, and in other forms of special legislation, has grown from year to year tyatil its proportions have become monstrous. iSiaturally despairing of any cure for the evils short of a process of utter extirpation, Mr. Springer, of Illi­ nois, proposes an amendment of the Constitution of the United States pro­ hibiting special legislation by Congress upon any of the following subjects : Granting pensions, bounties, lands, or prize- money to any person or persons for correcting the records of any department of the Govern­ ment in reference thereto; granting relief or authorizing the payment of any claim against the United States, or any officer thei eof, ex­ cept appropriations in general laws to pay the Judgments of courts or commissioners author­ ized by law, remitting fines, penalties or for­ feitures ; creating, increasing, or decreasing the FEW, percentages, or allowances of public officers during the term for whicu said officers are elected ; granting to any corporation, asso­ ciation or individual the right to lay down rail­ road traoks, or amending existing charters for 'Mich purpose by conferring any special or ex­ clusive privilege upon such corporation or asso­ ciation which it does not already have ; grant­ ing to any corporation, association, or individual any apaeial >i aselusivo privilege, subsidy, im­ munity, or FRAR^HIPO RYVFRV^R, "ND REGULATING the practice of the courts of the United States, or commissioners for the .auditing of claims , against the same, and in all other casee where a general law CAN bs made applicable no special I law EHALL be enacted. Mr. Springer's proposition is in the Ljine of an important reform already | adopted by several of the States. One of the most important bills intro­ duced during the session is that of Hon. leorge W. McCrary, of Iowa, providing for the relief of the United States Su­ preme Court. The business is now from ree to five years behind, and steadily lifting farther and farther back. Prac- ly it has become a Court of obstruo- and denial of justice. It is, as now mstituted, utterly incapable of hearing le cases which overwhelm its docket, thousand suits now hopelessly await a learing. The Circuit Courts are simi- lougb not quite so badly, over- led aad behindhand. Mr. McCrary's blaa contemplates an intermediate Court kf Appeals in ©aoh circuit, consisting of ie assigned Justice of the Supreme Jourt, Circuit and District Judges, whose decisions shalh be final on all questions [f fact, and on all questions of law in ses involving not more than $10,000. Lppeals are to lie to this Court from both ^Circuit and District Courts; the Cir- "t. Court is also to be empowered, after it September, to send any case on its >cket to the District Court. It will be ?tieed that this bill secures the desired blit £, at least to some considerable ex- mi, without creating any new Judges. ion [ Court Knew Alreaiy. A recent trial in the Elko County >M T, our friend Bishoff, of the Hum- bldt brewery, was called as a witness. '**. Bishoff is one of the "solid men" Elko, where he has been in business ce the town was started in the winter 1858. Upon being sworn, Counsellor d, one of the attorneys in the case, , BY T|IE way, is an old resident of o, said, " Mr. Bishoff, where do you TIDE?" "Where I reside? What for ask me such foolish things? You at my place more as a hundred lies. * iliat HAA nothing to do with case on trial, Mr. Bishoff. State to jury where you reside." "De . • ,00? ' shurry! de shurry! Oh, by jiminy! every gentleman On dis shurry has a string of marks on mine cellar door just like a rail fence." His honor here inter­ ceded in the counsellor's behalf, and in a calm, dignified manner, requested the witness to state where he resided. "Oh, excuse me, Shudge. You drinks at my blace so many times and PAYS me notings. I dinks you know old Bjahofl* vat keeps the brewery."--Nevada Sil­ ver State. ^ To a Young Married Friend. MT DRAB Krrnr: The music of your " Wedding March" still lingers in the air, and ere its echoes fade from my memory I would seize the inspiration of the moment to write you A little advice on matrimony. In the midst of your JOJ yuu can afford to listen for a few moments to the sage counsels of one who has grown old and gray (metaphori­ cally speaking) battling with the inevi­ table must be's and can't be'sof married life. Now, my dea* Kitty, these bees are very 'harmless and amiable when allowed to have their own way ; but the moment you show fight they will sting, as it's a part of tbeir nature to unless FILR? 1 FN1 { F MNT and subdued. But if you pet them and give them plenty of nectar they will make honey for you all their days. I suppose you know, Kitty K that bees don't like vinegar. They will take tho poorest molasses in preference, but their natural and favorite food is nectar and ambrosia, so I advise you to lay in large supplies of both these articles, as they cannot be had at all seasons of the year. They only grow on the southern borders of that country called Domestic Felicity. This land is not down on the maps or in the " railway guides," but I am quite sure you will find it. I should be glad to make you happy by telling you that matrimonial life is a perpetual calm of sunny skies and balmy airs, but truth and candor compel me to admit that across the fairest matrimonial hori­ zon there will sometimes come a "squall;" and I suppose this is best The calm might turn to insipid monoto­ ny, whereas a good smart thunder-storm now and then clears the air of foul vapors and lends piquancy to life. That you may the better meet these atmos­ pheric changes I advise you to put on the helmet of fidelity, the breast-plate of true love, the waterproof cloak of charity, and the overshoes of economy (that takes well with men). Then, hold­ ing aloft the umbrella of patience, you will be prepared for the worst, for "there are storms on life's dark water*. *' From your affeotionate aunt, PUSSY Wjxmjw. " New Britain, Jan. 8, 1875. --Hartford Times. Some Facts About Leap Year. The necessity of having one year in four with a single day more than the others is founded upon the facts that the rotation of the earth AROUND (he sun is accomplished IN 365 days, five hours, forty-eight minutesand foi^y-six seconds, or about eleven minutes less than a quar­ ter of a day. Julius Ctesar,® when he attempted to correct the almanac, made the mistake of ignoring the eleven min­ utes, and a misunderstanding of the imperial degree fixed the leap year one year in three. Augustus, eight years B. C., ordained that for the next twelve years there should be no leap year, and thus corrected tho error for the time. But there were the eleven minutes which, as the centuries rolled on, became hours and days. The Council of Nice, in A. D. 325, brought the sun and the almanac into harmony, but left the per­ plexing eleven minutes unprovided for, and it thus went on for twelve centuries, when Pope Gregory XIII., finding the sun ten days behind the calendar, or­ dained a radical cure, enjoining that the ten days between the 3d and 15th of October, 1582, should be struck out of the almanac. The different nations of Europe adopted a like course, one after another, Protestant England being the last to conform to the Pope's bull in 1752, when the English calendar dropped eleven days in September, which had then accumulated. To pre­ vent errors in future, it is necessary that three leap years shall be omitted in each 400 years, and this is managed by mak­ ing the omitted years the even hundreds, that are not divisible by 400. So that 1700 nor 1800 were, and 1900 will not be a leap year, but 2090 will be as 1600 was. In transposing from " old " to " new style," the time must be taken into ac­ count, the farther back we go the fewer days it takes to make it right. The Pilgrims landed in Plymouth Decem­ ber 11, and as the error was only ten days, the celebrations of that event should be on the 21st, and not the 22d. The days of the week were not effected by this change. The fact that leap year gives unusual prerogatives to the gentler sex who are matrimonially inclined is not of astro­ nomical origin, but may, nevertheless, be worthy oi the most profound manual respect--Milwaukee ( Wis.) Newt. New York's Large Tax-Payers. The tax list shows to all who look at details what large soma are collected from some establishments. I will quote a few: Stewart's retail store $1,150,000 $3A, 0U Stewart's wholesale store 850,000 23,800 Stewart's Fifth avenue palace... 600,000 16,800 Grand Central depot 1,600,000 42,000 Drexet Building, corner of Wall and Broad streets 1,000,000 29,400 Equitable Insurance 1,100,000 30.2U0 New York Life Insurance Build­ ing 1,000,000 39,400 Brown Brothers' banking house. 440,000 11,816 Duncan, Sherman & Co.'s bank­ ing house (now closed) 850,000 9,800 Stock Exchange Building....... 425,000 11,900 Fifth Avenue Hotel 1,100,000 , 30,200 Metropolitan Hotel (owned by Sewart)... @00,000 25,200 In this list we find Stewart paying $56,000 taxes on his stores. On his house and the hotel $12,000 more are paid, making $98,000; but in addition to this he lias a large amount of real estate scattered in various parts of the city. It is probable that his tax last year was not less than $120,000.--&ew York Cor. Iroy Times. Sudden Death of a Knife-Eater. A few days since the celebrated "knife-eater," who, for the past few years has astonished the community in this region by his feats of swallowing knives, nails, etc., came to an untimely end. He was living at Isaac Ozmun'S, on the State road, doing chores for his board, when in drawing water from the large tank that supplies the cheese fac­ tory there with WATER, HE fell in and was drowned. It is supposed that as he leaned over the tank the blood rushed to his head, and so he lost his balance and fell in. His body was examined by Drs. Pixley and Cole, but, to their astonish­ ment, nothing was found unusual, ex­ cept that the coats of the stomach were very slightly inflamed. That he actually did swallow the knives, etc., with which he is credited, there is the most indu­ bitable evidence, and many are the anec­ dotes connected therewith, of which I give only the following, as related by an eye-witness; One day he came alongC where several of the railroad Italians and others were at work, when a boy told HIM that if he would swallow a large clasp-knife, with an iron hook in the end by whinh TO pend it from a belt and which belonged to one of the Italians, he would give him fifty cents. Immediately he seized the knife, closed it, and swallowed it. The astonished owner of the knife gaped upon him with saucer eyes, but recover­ ing his wits he seized a shovel and held it up to him, exclaiming, " You swallow dis! you swallow dis I"--Peninsula (O.) Oor. Akron Beacon. His Obitaary. It was a very sad woman that came into our sanctum the other day. Not to put too fine a point upon it, she wept. " I am MM. Briggs," she murmured, sadly. The sub-editor said he was glad to know #, and inquired after Mr. Briggs. "You don't seem to keep the run of our emi­ nent citizens much," she said, with some asperity; " for, you know, he died last Friday." The sub stammered out that he had indeed overlooked it " That's just it," said the grief-stricken one. "I want an obituary rit on to him, some­ thing strong, you know." "Ah' pre­ cisely," said the sub-editor; "I will just take down the points. He was public- spirited, of course ?" "Certainly," sighed the widow. " Respected, influ­ ential, high-toned?" "Wayup," sobbed the relict "Fine feelings, self-made, rich?" "Well, no," said the mourner, " he would have been rich. His partner was just elected Supervisor, but he didn't; wait for the first day even. He faded away, faded away." All right, madam, we will get up a notice that will make all the other bereaved families in your part of the town howl with envy." " On the front page, mind," she sighed. "Just so, ma'am. It will be $8." "Eight dollars for an obituary, with sugar at thirteen cents ?" " But reflect, madam, that you will have an article that will I&ake Andrew Johnson and Henry WIL­ son turn over in their graves." " Eight dollars--and Johnny's shoes will be $4, and Jane's pullback -- well, mister, I guess the old man will have to slide through on his merits. The regular four-bit sendoff will about do, I guess," and depositing that coin on the desk she sobbed herself down stairs."--San Fran­ cisco Mews Letter.

The false supposition that " Consumption is incurable1' deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that dis­ ease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it hat teen cored in a very great number of oases (soma of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other oases by the same medicine in con­ nection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonio and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenok himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed at one time to be at the very gate of death, his physicians hav­ ing pronounced his cctsa hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate.
