A ocENE IN CoNGREss.--In the House of representatives at Washington on Thursday. tne Annual Indian Appropriation Bill was ta zen up, and during the discussion, opite m acfImonIous personal controversy arose be- tween Mir Black, of Georgia, and Mir. Cid olhgs, oi Ohio. Mr. G. said the remarks of ltr' b. were 5ow and diriy. Mir. B. replied that no gentleman could even look at Mir. C. without becoming low and dfty.9 qreaJ many expressions of similar character were' banded between them, until Mir Mcdowell. oi Ono, and Mir. Burt, of South Carolina. nierposed and called Mr. B. to order. Here 'se matter dropped for some tilae;. but soon after MT, Giddlngs rose and proceeded to reply to the personalities of Mr Black. He was commenting on something Mir. E. had sad about .' knocking down.n What Mr. G. sad induced Mir. B. (who was standing near hm to eXcialm, '' l'll knock you down. ''- At the same time he was rushing towards Mr. G. and tried 10 raise his cane. apparently with the design to strike Mr. G. Mir. Hammetl. ol Mississippi, seized Mir R.. and drew him outside the railing. Of course there was a great deal Of excitement in the Hall. and for lew moments the proceedings were arrest cd, Mir GlddiDgs finished his remarks, when Alf Black made remark or two Scenes of thi5 klnd are utterly disgracelul to the parties.
 NEws FRont CuINA.-The last arrivals at New York have brought important news from China. Itwill be remembered that the treaty made at the conclusion of the war With Great Brliain by Sir Henry Poainger was silent (as Is not seldom the case in such things on the yefy subject which occasioned hosalt.es. The smuggling of Opium, which the Chinese authorities have determined To put down, was net mentioned in the stipula- tons; and each party remained in statu quo the British East Indies free to smuggle fl they could, and the China authorities free 10 do what they could to prevent it. Their ef- iofts had hitherto proven intellectual; and vast quantities Were sold to the poor wretch es who use 1t; the revenues of the country were delIauded, and the East India merchants exporting millions of specie in return for their ship loads of the poison The last news reports new movement by the Chi namen. Instead of searching up the snug gled goods, they now seize the smugglers themselves, and have already many in GUS tody This 1t is thought, if persevered in. will put stop to the trade. The amount of thls trade Is something near 12 millions of dollars per annum; and the Opium of the Last Indies has more than paid for all the exports from China Of her teas Sc. When this trade Is cut off what will she take in cx- change for her teas? What can she take i; what does she desire to take more than Cor TON and Cotton goods This makes the movement of so much interest And to sup ply this demand which will thus spring up for Cotton and Cotton goods America and Eagland will engage iua a lace of rivalry. = < 4 fair field and no favor ''-and our word for t the unconquerable South and the cun- hing Yankees will beat her from the tract.

TIE CoroN TRApE.-A year two ago, Professor McCay of Georgia, prepared for the Merchants Magazine, estimates of the Cotton Crop of the world, and of the con- sumption in this country and Europe. Re- sults since developed proved his estimates correct. He has therefore been induced to make another attempt for the present cotton season.
 As the subject possesses interest for large portion of our readers, we may state that the Professor's estimate of the receipts of cotton at the southern ports for 1915, is from g. 260.00O to 2,660,000 bales say, 2,460,000 bales. This is 430,000 bales greater than the crop of 1844. The receipts from India he estimates at l50,000 bales. From all other countries, 10000 Adding these items together, we have as the total supply for l845, , 2,750,000 hales.
 The estimated demand of the United States for 1915. is 37a.000 bales or 5J,0tj1 more than the average of the three previous years; and about 30,000 more than the consumption oi iSii
 The estimated demand of American ootsor for France is 420,000 bales, for the rest o the continent ef Europe. lS0.000, for Grea Britain, l,4S0,000.
 Me have the following result;
 Toal supply, 2,loO'G0a bales

APPLE BREAD--A Frenchman has inven- ted and practiced with great success, a method of making bread with common apples, very far superior to potato bread Alter having boiled oue-third of peeled apples, he bruised them quite warm into two-thrds of flour, n- cluding the proper quantity of yeast, and kneaded the whole without water, the fgu!l being quite sufficient. When the mixture had acquired the consistency of paste, he put il into a vessel in which he allowed t to raise for twelve hours.
 INDIAN SLAP JAcKs.-Seald quart of h. dian meal when lukewarm. stir in half pint of flour. half a tea cup of yeast, and a hills salt. When light, fry them h just fat enough to prevent their sticking to the frying pan, Another method of making them- which is very nice, Is to turn boiling milk or water on to the Indian meal. in ihe proportion oi quart of the former to q pint Of the lulier str iu ihrce mhle sPoonsful oi aour, taret esgs well beaten, and couple of iea spoons iuI oI salL
