•DLLS BEFORE CONGRESS; of Some of the Important incMores Pending In the Senate and Bomae. Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, has in­ troduced a bill in the Senate to aid the Winnebago Indians to obtain subsistence by agricultural pursuits, and to promote tfieir civilization. Mr. Steele, Delegate from Wyoming, has introduced in the House a bill to de«Ie,re the country north of the North Platte River and east of the summitB of the Big Horn Mountains, in the Terri­ tory of Wyoming, open to exploration and settlement. Mr. Willard, of Michigan, has intro­ duced in the House a measure by means of which, if he can secure its passage, he hopes to effect a pronounced reform in the civil service. It provides that no member of either house of Congress, either personally or by his agent, sliall make application to the President, or head of any department or bureau, for the appointment to or removal from the civil service, under penalty of a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000. It is provided, however, that any mem­ ber may, at the request of the proper authority, give in writing any informa­ tion he may possess respecting the qualifications of any applicant for ap­ pointment. Mr, DmmelJ, of Minnesota, has pre­ sented a very important measure, which is now before the Committee on Public Lands4 for the Appointment of a com­ missioner to inquire into the destruction of forests, and into the measures neces­ sary for the preservation of timber. In­ troducing his bill, Mr. Dunnell states that the supply of timber in the United States is rapidly diminishing, and that great public injury must result from its continued waste unless adequate meas­ ures are taken for its preservation and production. A biU was introduced in both houses during the last Congress for making the Agricultural Department one of the Ex­ ecutive Departments of the Government, and was referred to the Committee on Agricullure. These committees recently held a joint conference on the subject,at which the opinion was expressed that the bill could be passed without diffi­ culty, but it was filially determined to defer action on it until after the meeting of the present Congress. This bill has been reintroduced in the House since the recess, and is now before the Committee on Agriculture. Its advocates say that the 52 per cent, of the population en­ gaged in agriculture should be represent­ ed in the Cabinet, and declare that to be the sentiment throughout the country. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, has offered in the Hottse a proposed amendment to the Constitution, the object of which is to prohibit special legislation in the matter of granting pensions or bounties; au­ thorizing the payment of claims ; remit­ ting fines or penalties; granting privi­ leges to corporations or associations; and, in shorfcs providing tlxat in all cases where a genial law can be made appli­ cable BO special law shall be enacted. A bill reported by Representative Jenks, of Pennsylvania, from the Com­ mittee on Invalid Pensions, provides that in the administration of the Pension law general recognition of husband and wife, or other evidence which would constitute Eroof ef a marriage under the common tw, may be accepted as sufficient to establish the fact «f marriage; and that from and after tlie 1st of January, 1868, parol evidence alone shall not be suffi­ cient to prove service for which any bounty warrant or certificate shall be allowed for any service not shown by record evidence. The bill of Senator Logan, now before the Committee on Military Affairs, pro­ vides that the number of Assistant Sur­ geons now allowed by law shall be re­ duced, to 125; that the office of Medical Storekeeper be abolished; that from and after the passage of this act, in addition to the grades now allowed by law, there shall be four Surgeons, with the rank, pay and emoluments of Colonels; eight Surgeons, with the rank, pay and emolu­ ments of Lieutenant-Colonels, to be pro­ moted by seniority lrom the medical officers of the army. The following is an abstract of the bill reported by Senator Sherman, from the Committee on Finance, and which has been passed by the Senate, providing for the appointment of a commission on the subject of the alcoholic and fer­ mented liquor traffic find manufacture A commission of five persons (who, at the time of their appointment, shall not be holding offices of trust under the General or State Government, and all of whom shall not be advocates of pro­ hibitory legislation or total abstinence) shall be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, whose duty it shall be to investigate the alcoholic and fermented liquor traffic and manufac­ ture, having special reference to revenue and taxation, distinguishing as far as possible in the conclusions they arrive at between the effects produced by the use of distilled or spirituous liquors and the use of fermented or malt liquors in their economic, criminal, moral and scientific aspects, in _ connection with pauperism, crime, social vice, the public health and general welfare of the people; and also inquire and take testimony as to the practical results of license and restrictive legislation for the prevention of intemperance in the several States, and the effect produced by such legisla­ tion upon the consumption of distilled or spirituous liquors and fermented or malt liquors ; also to ascertain whether the evils of drunkenness have, been in­ creased or decreased, and whether public morals have t een improved thereby. The Commissioners shall hold office not to exceed t one year, or until their duties are accomplished; shall serv* without salary, but are em­ powered to employ a secretary at a rea­ sonable compensation, and report the result Of their investigation to the Presi­ dent, to bo by him transmitted to Con­ gress. Before its passagp the bill was amended so as to practically limit the orations of the Commission to. the oper Terr territories and the District of Co­ lumbia. Mr. Morrison, of the House Ways and Means Committee, has introduced a bill which requires the Treasury to hoard go.d until it holds an amount equal to 30 p«r Cent. of the outstanding legal- tenders, and also directs the national banks to retain the coin interest on their bonds until the sum of 30 per cent, of their circulation is accumulated--the coin being held In lien of* legal-tender reserves. The Legal-Tender act is re­ pealed, from the date when the banks ahn.ll have acquired 30 per cent, of the amount of their notes in coin. , •• v The bill introduced by Senator Mor- \ rill, of Vermont, to establish an educa- i tional fund is a copy of the bill which I he introduced last January. Its main feature is a requirement that one half of the cash proceeds from the sale, entry, location, or other disposition of the pub­ lic lands shall be annually invested in United States five per cent, bonds. The amount so invested is to be held in trust by the United Statss Treasury as an ed­ ucational fund. The interest will be distributed annually by the Secretary of the Interior among the several States and Territories upon the bads of the population between the ages of 4 and 21 years. The Rothschilds of tM ^est. He hadn't any baggage, and after one look at him the* brush boy walked away and sat down. The average brush-boy of the average hotel knows when he can brush a quarter out of a guest just as well a« if he were a lawyer. The straDger wrote his name on the register with great deliberation. It was a long name. It read: " Herbert Henry Washington, Chicago, Illinois." The clerk regarded him for a moment with a keen glance, and then asked : " How long will you remain here?" 4' About a week, was the reply. " Shall I credit you with ten dollars in advance?" " Who are you talking to ?" demanded the stranger as he stepped back a little. " Strangers generally pay in advance," replied the clerk. " Well, sir, I'll3 be hanged, sir, if I was ever insulted before ! Ask me for money in advance! Why, sir, do you know that I could buy this hotel and still have millions left V " I have my orders." " Am I to be treated like a dead beat ?" continued the stranger. " When a man comes to Detroit to lend two hun­ dred thousand dollars on a mortgage do your people look upon him as a skulk and a thief)" " My orders are positive," quietly re­ plied the clerk. " I want to see the 'owner of this ho­ tel, and I want to take him to the Board of Trade, the Mayor's office and the Water Works, and I want him to find out what kind of a man I am." " The proprietor isn't in." "You don't know me--you don't realize who "'I am 1" exclaimed the stranger, tapping the office counter at every pause. " I didn't care to be known, but since you have insulted me I wafrt to inform you that I am the Rothschilds of the West 1" The clerk started off with a letter to his girl, but had only got as far as " be­ loved Sarah" when the stranger yelled out: " Who advanced money to Chicago to complete her Water Works ? Who owns six elevators and one hundred miles of railraadf" " I don't know," was the reply. " And yet when I come into this house I am insulted as if I were a loafer!" con­ tinued the stranger. "Why sir, come to the bank with me, sir, and see if my check for $50,000 will be dishonored!" "I'll go 1" said the clerk, putting on his hat. " You will, eh!" % " Yes, sir!" " You needn't go. X wouldn't stop here if you'd give me a thousand dollars a day. I'll go to some other house, and when spring opens I'll buy a site next to you and build a hotel of my own and run your house out of sight I" " Call an officer!" said the clerk to one of the boys. " That's the crowning insult I" shout­ ed the man. "But I'll Dide my time. I'll go over to the other tavern and send over a $50,000 check for you to look at, and no matter how sorry you feel, sir, I'll not accept an apology, sir--blast me if I do!" He went out, and at noon was seen eating crackers and cheese in the post- office.--.Detroit Free Press, A Good Complexion. There is nothing so annoying to a young girl as an imperfect skin. If we address any one we imagine that per­ son's atteLtion to be immediately drawn to our one source of discomfort, a broken- out face; if they speak to us we are pos­ itively diffident on account of our mis­ fortune. Dear girls, the writer has had experi­ ence in this, and can sympathize with you. For three years my face would keep breaking out with a sort of rash, not large unsightly blotches, for such I never had; but I feel sure if what I used did help me, it would benefit those who were worse than I was. I tried everything of which I had ever heard; and also plenty of which I never had, without avail. 1 became disgusted with everybody, and especially myself. Every day I met girls coarse and illiter­ ate, who knew and cared nothing abouf education and refinement, whose faces were smooth and rosy, while I was des­ tined to wear an irritable and pimply skin, and I became morose and low- spirited. But one-day while reading a maga­ zine, the word "oatmeal" caught my attention. I determined to try it. I bought tour pounds and have used it six months. I have used it twice a day all the time. I take the dry meal, a little on a pre­ serve plate, pour on just enough cold water to make it thin, stra n through a small seive, and dipping a cloth into the water, wash over my face once or twice, and let it dry. This does not require more than five minutes, and the result is, what ? AD my friends exclaim about iwy beautiful complex.on. Please follow my example, and you will not regret the trouble when you see the result.--The Household. The War In Cuba. The New York World prints the fol­ lowing extract from a private letter dated Havana, Jan. 26. It furnishes an inter­ esting account of the situation of affairs in the unfortunate island : " The arrival of Capt.-Gen. Jovellar has so far not produced any of the effects which were expected to occur. True enough, he merits and enjoys the confidence of all classes much more than any Captain- General who has come and gone since the outbreak of the revolution. But gold has gone up instead of declining. The insurgents are burning sugar-cane fields and plantation buildings. Every day we hear of one or more plantations as having been burned, and even the most rabid Spaniard,, if possessed of common sense, acknowledges sorrowful­ ly that the army and Spanish-thinking -population are not strong enough to drive the insurgents out of the central department. While the sympathizing element is not so strong as it was a year ago, everybody, with the exception of the extreme intransigentes on the Cu­ ban side and those who are making money by the war, are anxious that some compromise should be effected. It is extremely doubtful whether the Cuban leaders in the field would to-day accept a proposition for the autonomy of the island if offered by Spain. The leading Cubans who are abroad will barely be istened to. If the fighting-men are not satisfied with any propositions that are made, the war will continue until ojie or the other succumbs. It is positively asserted that Jovellar is authorized to make great concessions to the island in general, including a general amnesty and autonomy. The planters are ruined; although nominally the possessors of great wealth, they are not even making a small interest on their capital employed in lands, negroes ana machinery. The merchants say that they will be ruined unless the officials again allow smuggling on a large scale, the businedb done in that hue being comparatively small at present." French Duels. There are many reasons why duels rarely end fatally. All the gunsmiths keep pistols warranted not to hit a barn door at ten paces. They are grooved all sorts of ways; they are made so light that the least load of powder sends them to the skies; the trigger is made so hard the hand pulls the pistol higher than even the skies; the hammer is weighted, and has such a powerful spring the bar­ rel is knocked down. Moreover, the seconds always take care to overload, that the pistol, no matter how carefully aimed, may bounce over the object. Last'y, but by no means leastly, there is tho emotion inseparable from a maiden appeal an ce in the part of a target for an enemy's loaded pistol.- It is incredible how fast eyelids will snap under these circumstances. VAST interests center in the cradle of the little daughter of the Marquis of Bute, The Marquis is a Catholic, and had he died childless the estate would have gone to his cousin, CoL Stuart, a Protestant. MH<IJONS of intelligent women say that Dobbins' Electric Soap (made by Cragin & Co., Philadelphia,) is in every respect the best soap ever made, and will do three times the werk of any other. Try it. A WOMAN weighing 384 pounds died of suffocation from excessive fat at Stafford* Mass., last week. [From the Missouri Republican (St. Louis.)] A Remarkable Professional Success. Among the notable professional men of this country who have achioved extraordinary suc­ cess ia Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The prominence which he has attained has been readied through strictly legitimate means, and, so far, therefore, he deserves the enviable reputation which he enjoys. This large measure of success is the result of a thorough and careful preparation for his calling, and ex­ tensive reading during a long and unusually large practice, which have enabled him to gain high commendation, even from his professional brethren. Devoting his attention to certain specialties of the science he lias so carefully investigated, he has been rewarded in a re­ markable degree. In these specialties, he has ' become a recognized leader. Not a few of the remedies prescribed by him have, it is said, been adopted and prescribed by physicians in their private practice. His pamphlets and larger works have been received as useful con­ tributions to medical knowledge. He has re­ cently added another, and perhaps more im­ portant work, because of more general applica­ tion, to the liot of his published writings. This book, entitled " The People's Common 8snse Medical Adviser," is designed to enter into general circulation. Dr. Pierce has reoeived acknowledgments and. Ikonors from many sources, and especially scientific degrees from two of the liivt metlioil institutions in the land. FEMAIIB WEAKNFSS.--Vegetine acts directly upon the causes of these complaints.
