CONGRESS. - la the Senate, on the 14th inst, the Army Ap­ propriation bill wae reported back from the Com. mittee on Appropriations, with sundry amend ments, and was placed on the calendar. The Sup­ plemental Judicial bill was debated without ac­ tion. In the House, a bill extending until Oct, 1, 1880, the provisions of the act approved March 8,1877, in regard to the grasshopper suffer­ ers, was passed. The Legislative Appropriation bill was received from the Senate, and. together with the Senate amendments, was referred to the Com­ mittee on Appropriations. A bill was passed au­ thorizing a commission to inquire into the prac­ ticability aa^ desirability of contracting a bridge or tunnel across the Detroit ilver, near Detroit. The bill prohibiting Government employes from making contributions for political purposes again came up, but the Democrats refused to allow an amendment including Congressional employes in this inhibition, and the Republicans consequently filibustered to prevent action on the bill. The Senate, after debating and slightly amending the Supplemental Judicial Appropria­ tion bill, finally passed it. on the 16th inst., by a strict party vote.--In the House, Mr. Cox intro­ duced a bill to protect certificates of naturalisa­ tion. Mr. Samford introduced one to prohibit an increase of the interest-bearing debt of the United States, and lCr. Young (Tenn.) intro­ duced one granting a pension of $RO a month to the widow of the late Lieut. Hiram Benner. On motion ot Mr. Ryan, a bill was passed for the re­ lief of settlers on the Osage trust and diminished reserve lands in Kansas. On motion of Mr. Wash­ burn, the bill was passed allowing pre-emption settlers twelve months after date of tiling their en­ try to complete their residence. The Senate was engaged in debating the Army Appropriation bill on the 17th, and the House spent the day Is discussing the Ml to pro­ hibit political assessments. An effort wss in the House to take up the bill in relation to juries, bat.the Bepublioaas blocked business by declining to vote, thus leaving the House without « quorum. The Senate was the scene of a long and hot debate on the 13th, the Army bill constituting the bone of contention. The debate culminated in a personal altercation between Messrs. Conkling and Lamar, which for a time produced considerable of a sensation about the Capitol. Mr. Conkling de­ livered a bitter speech, in which, referring to the course of the Democrats In regard to the Appropriation Mils, imputed to them bad faith. Mr. Laniar rose at the concision of Mr. Conkling*® remarks, sud said that as far as any intimation of bad faith to him was concerned, he had lived in vain if be was not super.or tj such a charge from such a source. " It ts not my purpose," he said. " to indulge in personalities, but I will say to the Senator that it be inteudt d to intimate that any­ thing I havr done was not in good faith, 1 pronounce his statement a falsehood, which I repel with all the unmitigated cent* mpt that 1 feel for the author ot it."

The bill then passed--20 to 17, Mr. Burnside the only Bepublican voting with the majority--and at S o'clock In the morning the Senate adjourned. ----In the Houee, the minority of the Judicial Committee presented their views upon the sub­ jects discussed in tha President's veto message. ; Befentng to the majority report, presented some , days before, the minority say: "The repeated efforts in said report to make It appear that the right or authority to Interfere with State elections, or with tht> freedom and lawful conduct of any election, is claimed or asserted to any quarter. Is hardly deserving of serions notice. The minority in Congress have made ao such claim. The right of Federal supervision contend­ ed for applies to Cnngretftlonal elections only. Thie Vis entirely ignored in the report of tha majority. •'Their report proceeds upoa the false assumption , that the President advocates the use of Fed­ eral authority to supervise State elec- : ttons. No such claim Is made In the messege under consideration or in any other message or utterance of the President; nel- . ther does the message advocate or justify military interference with the freedom of any elections. On the contrary, the President uses the following language: " 'Holding, as I do. the opit ion that any military "interference at the polls is contrary to tne spirit of our institutions, and would tend to destroy the freedom of elections, and sincerely desiriug to concur with Congress in all its measures, it is ' with very great regret that I am forced to the con- elusion that the bill before me is not only unnec­ essary to prevent such interference, but 1* Is a •dangerous depar ure from long-settled and im­ portant constitutional principlee. " 'The true rale as to the employment of military force at elections is not doubtful. No intimidation or coercion should be allowed to control or influ­ ence citizens in the exercise of their right to vote, , whether it be in the shape of combinations of evil- disposed persons, or of armed bodies of militia ot the State, or of the military force of the United States. Elections shall be free from all forcible interference, and as far as practicable from all ap­ prehensions of such interference. No soldiers, either of tne Union or of the State militia, should be present at the polls to take the place or to per­ form the duties of the ordinary civil police force. " There has been and will be no violation of this rule under orders from me during this adminis- tra'ion.'" The report says it is conceded that, during the civil war, some Generals--among others, Gen. McClellan --issued orders interfering with elections where ^disloyalty existed, and that "these and similar or- .tders undoubtedly exercised influences in securing : the enactment of the law of 1806, which prohibits the use of the army or navy at the time and place of any general or special election in any Ktate, ex­ cept. it be necessary to repel the armed enemies of the United States or to keep peace at the polls^ and also prohibits any military op naval 'officer from prescribing the qualifications of voters, or in any manner interfering with the exercise of the free right of suffrasre in any State. This law. with ap­ propriate penalties for its violation, was approved by President Lincoln, and since its enactment we do not believe there has been any well-grounded cause of complaint of military interference with elections." The report of a Congressional commit­ tee in regard to the operation of the law in New York city is alluded to, in which it was declared that "This happy result [a free, fair, and honest elec­ tion] was the consequence of the co-operation be­ tween the official advisers of city and United States officers," In conclusion the minority say: " It is to remain a law of the land. All efforts for its repeal have been for the present abandoned. It is the consti­ tutional duty of the President to see that it is faithfully executed. Many of its provisions are applicable to and only to be enforced on the day an election is held. Why should the authority to use ail lawful and constitutional means to execute it be suspended or crip­ pled en thst day? To whatever ex- unt this may be done, the law will be rendered a nullity so far as it is a law for such days only. Why should the day of election be ex­ cepted from the operation of this or any other statute! Surely, the need may be as great on that day as on way other. A proposal to Impose like restrictions at every place where a court Is to be held on the Fourth of July, or Eighth of January, or any other holiday or anniversary that is to be celebrated or observed, would be met with the jeers or contempt of all good men. The laws should be enforced and executed on all days and at all limes and places. To abdicate the authority of the Government of the United States to execute its laws on the. day of election would be a fatal-mistake, and constitute a precedent of. tl'.ft stoat dangerous character."

'•••.i- -i>, 't S i Silt K Iff AW EXILE tU ..'V Since the beginning of the present century nearly 500,000 persons have been exiled from Russia to Siberia Between 1807 and 1312 the average transportation was 2,035 offenders a year. In 1840 the average was calcu­ lated at 5,000; in 1860 the number was 10,000, and in 1870 nearly 20,000, show­ ing a large and remarkable increase upon deportation during two reigns which are popularly supposed to have been more oppressive than the present. In 1877 the total was still higher, being no less than 25,000; but this increase is accounted for by the number of Circas­ sian revolters and Bashi-Bazouk prison­ ers as a punishment for their atrocities. The Siberian Government reckons these exiles as amounting to about 5,000; but this, in common with the rest of the statistics, is probably short of the actual mark, as, according to the showing of Russian newspapers, double that num­ ber of Circassian revolters were de­ ported from the Caucasus, while not a single Bashi-Bazouk captured by the Muscovites during the war and sent for safe keeping to Russia has been allowed to return to Turkey. All have been ex­ iled to the desolate regions beyond the Atal and contiguous to the Amoor. WHERE DID SHAKSPEAME GET Iff Several writers have disputed Will- iack Harvey's right to be called the dis­ coverer of the circulation of the blood; but, in spite of all that has been said, the distinction firat conceded to him has always remained. In the June At­ lantic a writer cites the interesting faot that, while Harvey first publicly an­ nounced his discovery in 1620, Shaks- peare, thirteen years earlier (1607), has written in "Julius Ctesar," act£L,*cene 1, the following lines: Brntus (to Portia). ' Sou are my true and honorable wife, . .

The number shipped during the same period last year was 19,000--the greater portion being from the United States. An in­ crease has taken place in the exporta­ tion of sheep as compared with 1878. DBBMATOPHONV, myophony, tendo- phony and osteophony are medical terms introduced since the discovery of the microphone, and imply that by the microphone doctors are able to hear the sounds from the flow of blood in the skin, and from the contraction of the muscles and tendons, and from the vi­ bration of the bony strncture. Through this invention an inflammation in any of the internal organs should be easily discovered, for inflammation is always ac­ companied by the increased activity of the circulation. Since we can thus hear the rush of blood in the tips of the fin­ gers, it may be presumed that we shall soon be able to realize the old notion about listening to the growing of &e grass. _ . THE following is the list of the prisb ons, forts, fortresses, etc., in which Blanqui, the Communist French Depu­ ty, has passed half a century of his ex­ istence.

This is one of the most extraor­ dinary runs ever made by an Atlantic steamship. Not long1 since, the Gallia, the new steamer of the Cunard line, made the trip in Beven days and four­ teen honrs. On the 19th of August, 1877, the White Star line steamer Britannie made the run in seven days, eleven hours and thirty-seven minutes. This was the quickest passage, previ­ ously to this of the Arizona. The dis­ tance is 2,800 to 2,830 miles, depending on the route taken. The fastest day's run of the Britannic was 404 miles. But the Arizona must have made faster time than this every day, in order to make the run she did. The Arizona is a Clyde-built vease|.- ONE of the best sentetf ceai imposed in New York for many a day is that which Judge Barrett has passed upon Benja­ min Mayer in sending him to the State prison for two years and a half at hard. labor. Mayer was the junior member of a firm which obtained some $80,000 worth of goods from thirty-five different commission-houses on representations that the firm was solvent, whereas it was at the time insolvent and soon after went into bankruptcy with liabilities of near­ ly $90,000. Mayer, who is a young man, has many wealthy relatives and friends, and when suits were instituted against the swindling firm they came forward and offered to settle with the creditors. But the creditors were wise enough to put the public good before their private advantage, and refused to compromise. The case was therefore brought to trial, Mayer Was convicted and the Judge seized the ocoasion to lay down the sound principle that a man who gets goods from another by false representa­ tions as to his financial condition is to be punished like any other swindler. STRANGE misohances with fatal re­ sults are daily happening here and there. A Boston butcher ran against a knife that lay on a block, severed an artery and bled to death. A Denver woman caught her foot in a railroad frog, and could not get loose before a train ran over her. A Vermont farmer sneezed with a straw in his mouth, drew it into his lungs, and died chok­ ing. A horse kicked a Michigan boy into a deep well, where he was drowned. The shoe flew off the foot of a kicking mule, im Nashville, and fractured the skull of a baby. An Oregon girl swal­ lowed her engagement ring, and lived, only a week afterward. While stand­ ing on his head, on the top of a high fence-post* an Iowa boy loat his balance, fell into a tab of water, and was fatally scalded. A stone, thrown by a play­ fellow, broke a glass from which a St. Louis boy was drinking, driving some of the pieces down his throat, and he died a few days afterward in great agony. Looking up to watch the flight of an arrow, a Nashville woman did not see it descending directly over her head, and the sharp metal point pene­ trated her brain through one of her eyes, killing her instantly. •i APPEARANCE Of A TORNADO. Various descriptions were given of the " features " of the storm. One of the most graphic was furnished by Mrs. Gaylord, who saw what we may call the " onset," from one of the mill buildings on the river. ' The cloud seemed, said Mrs. G., as if built up of successive layers of ashy smoke. It came on with a roar that could be compared to noth­ ing save that of an immense mass of towering flame, yet without any of the crackling sound usually associated with fire. In the brief moments of its pass­ age it brought with it a darkness like that of late twilight. In its circle it was resistless^ A farmer was ocming toward the mill; the Wagon was torn to pieces, but the horses were unharmed. Not far from the mill is, or was, the iron bridge across the Blue, built some years ago at a cost of $20,000. This was torn down by what is known as the "first" storm. The superstructure was torn from the piers and thrown yards away, a mass of twisted iron and broken timbers. Mr. Robert Patterson, who preserved his coolness (as all liis neighbors say) throughout the storm, and rendered valuable assistance, advanced the opin­ ion that this "pillar of cloud " was hol­ low, and drew up everything movable into its center. Its movement was de­ scribed as eccentric, zig-zagging in its onward course, and bounding up Mid down just as every soldier has seen a solid shot ricochet. In this connec­ tion your reporter may state that he re­ peatedly heard of wells that suddenly became dry during the passage $£ &£ atorm.--Atchison Champion. POISONED BY jriCOTIXB. "' A rather unusual case of nicotine poisoning occurred lately in a Parisian suburb. The victim, a man in the prime of life, had been cleaning hit pipe with a clasp knife; with this he ac­ cidentally cut one of his fingers subse­ quently, but, as the wound was of a trivial nature, he paid no heed to it. Five or six hours later, however, the out finger grew painful and became much swollen; the inflammation rapidly spread to the arm and shoulder, the patient suffering such intense pain that he was obliged to betake himself to his bed. Medical assistance was called in, and ordinary remedies applied ineffect­ ually. The sick man, questioned as to the manner in whioh he had out him­ self, explained the use to which the pocket-knife had been applied, adding that he had omitted to wipe it after cleaning his pipe. The apparent mys­ tery which surrounded the case was thus cleared up, and, as the patient's state had become alarming, he was con­ veyed to the hospital. Upon his ad­ mission, the doctors attached to the in­ stitution declared that in the immediate amputation of the arm lay the only hope of saving the patient's life/ The poisoned member was therefore ampu­ tated, but, in spite of the promptitude with which the operation was per­ formed, the man lies in so precarious a condition that, the chances of his re­ covery are said to be slight.--Parisian. DOMESTIC hlEE IN RUSSIA. A gloomy picture of domestic and social life in Russia is drawn by the Moscow Gazette. " Our children," it says, M are trained in the spirit of the West They chatter in French, Ger­ man and English, but the "Paternoster" is unknown to them. Family life, what is its condition? A young wife thinks it her duty to possess, beside her hus­ band, 'a friend of her heart;' she does not desire her husband} and her family she regards as a burden. Children only wait until they pass into a higher class at school to regard their parents as wpxpn out, and treat them with derision. A young girl of 16 or 17 seeks for em­ ployment in the world, and is over head and ears immersed in science and philosophy. Subjects one would avoid even mentioning in the presence of a young woman are analyzed, discussed and commented upon by her in a man­ ner that few specialists are accustomed to do. The object of her existence, as designedly the Creator, is strange and unfamiliar to her. She seeks only her equality with man, without, however, inquiring or being able to indicate wherein these rights eonsist," , A MEW noVel is called "A Lady's Fou Wishes." An old bachelor says he hasn't read the book, but he knows what her wishes are: "First, a new bonnet; second, a new bonnet; third, a new bonnet; fourth, a new bonnet." From this one might suppose thai the old bachelor was a married man.--Nor- ristown Herald. ATLANTA, Ga., has now 45,000 inhab- war DO cmrjoREff nner The reason why children die ia cause they are not taken care of. From the day of birth they atfc staffed with, water, suffocated in hot rooms, n-nfl steamed with bed clothes. So much for indoors. When permitted to breathe a breath of pure air once a week ia summer, and once or twice during the oolder months, only the nose is permit­ ted to peer into daylight. A little later they are seat oat with no clothes at all on the parts of the body which most need protection. Bare,, legs, bare arms, bare necks, girted mid­ dles, with an inverted umbrella to col­ lect the air and chill the other parts of the body. A stout, strong man goe» out in a cold day with gloves and over­ coat, woolen stockings and thick double- soled boots, with cork between and rub­ bers over. .The same day a child of 3 years old, an infant of flesh and blood, and bone, and constitution, goes out- with hose as thin as paper, cotton socks* legs uncovered to the knees, neck bare* an exposure whioh would disable tho nurse, kill the mother outright, and make the father an invalid for weeks* And why ? To harden them to a mode of dress which they are never expected to practice; to accustom them to expos­ ure which a dozen years later would be considered downright foolery. To rear- children thus for the slaughter pen, and then lay it to the Lord, is too bad. We don't think the Almighty had anyhand. in it. The clothing of children should be adapted, on the principles of common sense, to protect their health, and not made scant, for the gratification of a. parent's vanity. The neck and arms of a child are, indeed, exquisitely soft and beautiful; yet the delicate skin, which, fond mothers lure so anxious to show uncovered, is sensitive in the extreme to the action of oold, and hardly any practice can be worse than to allow bare neck and limbs. Many a child is thua killed by the folly whiq^i exposes parts- of the person which are carefully pro­ tected in adults. A little more common, sense, mothers, more sleeves, and sacks* and high dresses, and less vanity and fashion, and you will have fewer' littlfr graves to weep over. t TOO MUCH GRAMMAR* | ] Hie peril of employing highfy-e^hci cated young men as clerks was again illustrated yesterday. A woman stopped at a green-grocer's on Woodward ave­ nue and asked: * Is them lettuce fresh ? " " You mean that lettuce,* suggested the clerk; " and it is fresh.*' " Then you'd better eat it! snapped as she walked on. The grocer rushed out and the clerk what on earth had happened, to anger her; and the young man re­ plied: " Why, nothing--only I correctedhsr grammar."
