HARRISON, as chairman of the Military Com

He said that one of the heads of the bureaus
had sand that foreign government was ready
to give any amount Of money TO obtain the IN
formation contained in them.
AT three O'Clock the committee rose.
A motion was made 10 rescind the resolu-
ton OF this morning TO terminate the debate at
this hour, and the yeas and nays were called
on the question OF reconsideration, resulting
yeas Sc nays 96. So the resolution was not

Bartine,s Lotion.

I'm cases of GOut, Rheumatism, S,oelLinss of all
u kinds, DELEGATIONS and Fractured Bones, Byt.i-
ses, Cuts, Contusions attended with pain and in
fammation, Poisonous Biles and Stings, Burns,
Scalds, Chiiblains, Corns or Bunions, and Wounds
Of every description, it affords immediate and per-
manent relief. II is, perhaps, the only article that
can be depended upon in the cure of those Pains
in the back and side generally produced by taking
cold after violent exertion and overheating. For
GAmdular Iunsors, Lumbago, Erysipelas, Tstter
or Ringtuorns, and all kinds of Eruptions Of the
Skin, 1t is most excellent remedy. For FeUer and
Ague, Ague in the Breast and Face, Cyamp IN the
Sfomach, and Headache, it acts like charm. But
above all, in the cure Of Tendinous and Capsular
injuries, Sprains, and Wounds of every description,
it shows in most astonishing manner, its magical
powers. i2 1kl
In addition to the benign influence the Lotion ex-
erts the infrmities of man, it has been found
no less valuable in similar complaints to which in
ferior animals subject, particularly the Horse.
In some cases. where it has been applied to this fine
creature for slight INJURIES it has, in addition to an
almost instantaneous cure, given apparently new
animation, to such an extent that in various in
stances the winning Of a race has been tenacously
ascrbed To its stimulating and happy effects.
The Lotion is composed entirely of the medicinal
properties of vegetable substances concentrated and
rendered most pure by distIation and other chemi-
cal processes. AS an inward medicine, it is Of the
most innocent, wholesome stimulating and cheer
ing character, and will expel, instantly, those DULL
heavy and hypochondriacal feelings to which many
are SO subject and give life and animation to both

WHO DOES THE MOST aGooDs

rr ,h;s canton were male the staHdard of
excellence BY which men were measured--in-
stead of who has the most money--this world
would. in some degree, resemble the beautiful
garden inhabited by our first parents, ere sin
dashed the cup OF happiness from their lips,
and sent them forth, exiles, TO earn by the
sweat OF their brow, that food which sprung
spontaneous from the earth, ere the curse Of
the Almighty rested upon il and them. Why
is not this the standard of excellence in man
1t is the only true standard and is the one by
which we shall be judged hereafter. Men have
set up for themselves false slandards-by
which to measure one another-there IS the
fashionable standard-and that most danger
Gus s,andard-.Manm0,-- bow to the
former, and, strange, but true, men OF sense
judge by the latter. Is there no intellectual
standard @! the myrads who bury their tai
enls in the earth who pervert the means Ode
signed by Heaven for noble and philanthropic
ends) to selfish and contracted purposes. There
is (or ought to be) but one standard Of excel
lence among men, and that should be, Who
does the mos! good! Who relieves the most
distress-who dries the orphans tears and
ministers consolation to the widow! Who
are lovers of their fellow men? This is the
standard before which all others vanish-the
standard which will hold good in the great
day Of account. This is the Bible standard.
the Christian standard from the ex-'
ample of Him who went about doing good.

To the Editor Of the Columbian Fount4in--
SIR: My attention was yesterday called to your
report Of Congressional proceedings, in which it is
stated, no prayer was offered in the Senate Tues
day. Being the officiating chaplain this week, l
feel it due to myself, as well as to my colleague. to
say that this is mistake 1t is frequently the case
in the Senate, that quorum is not present at IL
o'clock, at which hour religious exercises are inva-
Iiably attended to though it sometimes happens
that this body does proceed to business for
minutes afterwards. Hence the mistake of your re-
porter. Yours truly,
w. H. MILBURN,
Chaplain to House Representatives.
