NEWPORT.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY "a, 1888.
DoINGs IN CONGRESS.

In the SENATE, on Monday Mr.. Buchan-
an brought forward his Bill, first introduced
week since, III relation TO Furnishing Ger.
tain crimes. The Bill is entitled an Act in
addition TO an Act passed in 1918, and is
intended 10 be tackled on to the Bill of 1915
for the enforcement Of the neutral relations
between the United States and foreign pow
ers, The Bill embraces SIX sections, and
while it takes nothing from the law of 1878
it adds much TO that law,--empowering
Custom House officers, United States At
tornles, United States Marshals, United
States Agents, State and County and City
Authorities to preserve the strictest laws of
neutrality between all neighboring powers.
1t vests them with authority also to put The
shippers of arms and all munitions of war
under bonds, so that the arms and munit-
ions Of war thus shipped shall not be en-
ployed in violating the neutrality between
the two countries. Ii also empowers the
officers of Government to cut off all COM
muncation between this and neighboriug
countries when such communication inter-
feres with the pacific relations of either
country.
Mr.. Buchanan explained the bill, and
enforced its speedy passage. The act, he
said, was intended to take nothing from the
act of 1918, and TO add but little to it, That
law allowed any party from any foreign
country to come to the U. S. and purchase
arms aud munitions of war for the purpose
of carrying on war out of the United States.
The U. ). did not agree to protect such
munitions of war out of its own territories,
and their seizure was loss either to the
seller or purchaser. Such, MIR. Buchanan
also said, was the law of nations in regard
to the trade in arms and warlike munitions.
They did not interfere with the right of
purchase, and made no provisions for pro-
tecling those who msde purchases. The
law was intended as an act neither to check
nor encourage the trade in such articles.
MIR. Buchanan, however said that the u
nited States had three Territorie. on its
borders-Mexico, Texas aud Canada. He
thought, therefore, that the United States
owed these three countries different and
more special law than the law Of 1915. His
bill was intended to act upon those three
eonferm'Hus countries and not upon foreign
powers whose Territories did not border on
our own. The trade in arms aud munitions
of war between distant countries and our
own he wished to leave as ii was, bot to
make an alteration which would meet the
alleged interference between us and the Ter
-i,ories which bordered on our own Terri
ory. To that end he had framed his bill,
which was unanimously recommended to
he Senate by the committee on Foreign
Affairs. Il

MONDAY, January %.
The House met at 3 o'clock, Il. NJ. pnr-
suant to adjournment.
Sundry accounts presented from the
Committee on accounts and claims, and
allowed.
Vote passed on petition of Newport Artil-
lery to loan said corps sixty stands of arms
The House postponed the farther action
on the Penal Code, till to- morrow.
Petition of Wm. Ii. Beecher for remis-
sion of forfeiture, for having united a couple
in marriage in the town of Newport no,
legally published, while settled as clergy
man in that town.
Mr.. Cranston stated that the petitioner
had performed the act alleged soon after
his settlement, and without any intention ol
Violating the law.-hIr. Beecher, he stated
WAS poor, having, like ministers generally
nothing but books and children. 1t wa,
minated by him, that the prosecution was
probably measure of retaliation. Nc
conviction had been had, and no trial, and
the forfeiture was ofrecognizance.
Mr.. Crans,on moved the House to grant
the prayer of the petition.
Mr.. Turner, of Newport, counsellor for
the prosecutor, opposed the petition, on le-
gal grounds.
Mr.. Cranston, and Mr.. Randolph, both
advocated the prayer of the petition-rep-
resented Mr. Beecher as very ami able
and honest man and as having acted, in
the case referred to, merely in accordance
with practice which very extensively pre-
vailed in Newport, AT the time, and without
intending harm. They also represented
that he had always been willing to surren-
der himself, when his surety might call for
him to suffer whatever the law might de-
mand, for an offence he is conscious of hay
ing committed, but without any evil inten-
ton.
The snbject was still farther debated
and finally the prayer of the petition was
granted, and the House adj. 10 Tuesday.

ABSENCE OF MiND.-The following whimsical anec-
dotes told Of the Duke de Fras the new prime mi
mister Of Spain -
"When he was Spanish ambassador at Paris, he re-
ceved important dispatches from the government
and instructed to demand audience Of The French
King, and make some proposals which, it was supposed,
would induce that monarch to support more efectuay

dered his carriage, and proceeded to the Tulleries
The audience lasted for nearly hour and he returned
the embassy apparently delighted with his interview,
and was only dinner that he recollected that he had
not opened his lips to Louis PHILIPPE the subject Of
his dispatches.
When tho duke was simply peer Of the kingdom he
in the habit Of passing part of his evenings at
coffee house in the Gale de Principe, which then
frequented by several young asprants for poeca fame
One night he observed TO rise suddenly from his
CHAIR and enter into the following dialogue with Of
the walters Duke: " Do you know me? 7" Waiter

the duke. .'The Duke Of Fras," replied the other

for it, and tell the coachman to here if not, bid
the porter to have il sent for at once.n

Reasons why Ladies sAosd moi Walls. --Bscsuss
the delicacy thereof is not unquestionsble,
Because many men who waltz, declare that they
should not be willing to their wives and sisters do
so.
because ladies who waltz, often ask, "do you think
there is any harm in waltzingi"
Because after few turns, the lady wazing breathes
hard-her face and neck flushed, her Handkerchief
her forehead all Of which is sadly unbecoming
Because the expose made in waltzng like that made
by the French opera dancers
Because the propinquity in any would be held
outrageous and though this called watzing-"A
by any other name." &c.
Because il dus that quick Of shrinking delica-
cy, without which women cannot be charming.
Because the relative attitude Of parties gives to the
optical "angle Of incidence" unwonled license.
Because the loyeliest woman in the country (....s
t'-'t.) does not waltz, and oil who would be deemed
lovely should aim to be like her
Because It's not half SO graceful asa

Shade Iyees-We copy the following article in
relation 70 the transplaning Of trees from Of
exchange papers, for the benefit OF those Of our
citizens who may wish to ornament their grounds
with shade trees.
Be careful transplant before the leaves have
fallen-as soon after as you please.
The trees should be taken from open ground. IL
taken from the dense forest they will NOT bear the
exposure.
Select trees of sound growth they have better
tops and better roots than the first.
Transplant the trees entire. The leaves are the
lungs OF the tree, and affect lis growth much as
The roots. The frequent practice of hoping of the
top Is very bad
BE sure and get all the roots. Remember the
small hbres are what absorb nourishmeni Tor tho
Iee strip of these, and the main body Of the root
becomes only contrivance 70 hold the Tree up. Do
not expose the roots 10 and air longer than Is
necessary Let them carry with them a. much Of
the old soil as they can hold on Co.
In setting out the trees be careful 10 make the hole
so large that the roots shall not be coiIed, neer
let them be crowded together, for then tksy win
decay. - TN
Throw upon the roots at frst strong mould, never
any manure; then throw on water, and shake the
tree till the mud has filed up all the niersices be-
tween the roots. Aner the ground Il somewhat dry
fill up the hole and tread down the earth. Never
leave tree SO that water can stand over lis roots.

Religion 49, Conceive an arch wanting only
the keystone, and still supported by the CEN
tering, without which il would fall into pan.
less heap. 1t is now held up merely by the
supports beneath it. Add the keystone, and it
will stand thousand years, although every
prop should be shattered or fall in dust Now,
IL is idle to say that this change in the prin-
ciple Of the structure was accomplished
by the mere addition Of one or more stone.
The difference is not only that of ncreaes,
but also that of almost magical transmutation
No stone before helped to hold up its neigh
Dor; and each having its own prop, any one
might have been removed without shaking
the support Of the others-Now, each is
essential to the who'd, which is sustained,
not from without, but by an inward law. So
is it with religion. 1t not only adds new
feeling and sanction to those previously exist
ing in the mind, but unites them by different
kind of force, and one for the reception of
which all the invisible frame was prepared
and planned, though it may stand for wears
unfinished, upheld BY outward and temporary
appliance, and manifesting its want of the true
bond and centre which il has not yet received.

We look with wonder at the spectaeles
which astronomy presents to us, of the thou
sands of worlds and systems Of worlds weav-
ing together their harmonious movements into
one great whole. But the view of the hearts
of men furnished by his history, considered
as combination Of biographies, is immeasu-
rably more awful and pathetic. Every water
drop of the millions in that dusty stream is
living heart, world of worlds How vast
and strange, and sad and living thing, he
only knows at all who has gained knowledge
by labor, experience, and suffering and he
knows it not perfectly-Ibid.
