nEALER in Paints, Oils Glass, &c., G. street.
~ Todd's Buildings, Washington, d. c., has lust
received from the original inventors and sole manu-
facturers, a large supply Of the genuine
D0ric Lamp.
This Lamp is simple in its construction, easily
trimmed, and will give light equal to twenty
sperm candles, at cost Of one cent an hour.
It's superiority to other lamps consists in the fol-
lowing advantages: there is no brass other metal
that corrodes which comes in contact with the fluid
the external and internal draughts pass through
the body Of the lamp, producing a more perfect
combustion, and keeps the lamp perfectly cool. 1t
can be used with open doors and will be less affect
ed by wind or currents of air, than any other lamp

In trimming the Doric Lamp the chimney is first
removed and the Lamp taken out of the ring, the
button and cone must be next taken off, and the
cone may be used for stand to set the lamp on
while trimming-after which the wick-holder is
taken out and the wick raised above the tube sufi-
cient to cut off the black or crusted edge, which
should he done with sharp pair of scissors-the
wick-holder is then returned to its place, and the
wick should be perfectly even with tho top of the
tube--fll the Lamp, replace the conc and button,
and it is ready for use.
UJTo avoid accidents, the Lamp should never

WASHINGTON, May II, 1886.

WASHINGTON, May IL, 1910
There was an unusual stir and excitement for
an hour previous to the meeting of Congress, this
morning particularly in the House of Representa-
tives; the attendance Of members was very large,
and the galleries were packed with persons, all
anxious to witness the proceedings.
In the Senate the same anxiety was apparent.
All the foreign ministers were in the lobby, and
also among the visitors was the late minister to
Mexico, Mr.. Slidell, (who has made splendid
faiure,) and the gallant Tecumseh Johnson. The
capitol was filed with ladies. Beauty must al
ways incite chivalry to glorious deeds.
After the reading Of the message, which your
reporters will send you, quite an interesting de-
bate arose on printing an additional number Of
the accompanying documents. in which Mr..
calhoun, Mr.. Allen, Mr.. Cass, Mr.. Morehead,
Mr.. Sewer, MIR. Houston, Mr.. Crittenden and
others participatcd-the expressed opinion was
unanimous, SO far as money and men were to be
voted to meet the present exigencies, but it also
seemed to be the determined resolution of the
Senate, that the Executive and Cabinet would be
Immediately called to account for the harm they
had done. Mr.. Crttenden's speech was very
beautiful and short, and all were sufficiently pa
will contain the debatc.] The message was re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
and TO the Committee of Military Affairs. The
bill to increase the army to one hundred men to
each company was passed, and also the bill to
rinse the regiment OF dragons. sFs..4 ss
In the House, after the reading Of the message,
they had another debate. The Committee Of Mi
litary Affairs reported the bill to raise $1,000
lunteerS and appropriate ten millions of dollars,
which finally passed, 176 to Ia.
There is no additional news this evening from
the seat OF war 1t is probable General Scott
may be ordered to the command. Ed
A very interesting and exciting debate may be
expected very shortly in the Senate.
The intention Of the Cabinet to throw the blame
on General Taylor, falls to the ground 1t is very
difficult for Congress or the people to be deceived
on that point.
The large appropriations now required, and
more to be asked for gives the go-by to the tariff

WASHINGTON, May IL, 1886.
General Worth has been confirmed in his COM
mand as Brevet Brigndier General, and leaves for
the camp in the morning, and will probably take
charge Of the auxiliary troops going to the aid Of
General Taylor. Large sums of money were to-
day placed in the control Of the proper officers,
snd energetic means will be exerted for the active
prosecution of the war.
There has been great excitement throughout
the day, and it is well that Sunday has interviewed,
because the several cliqtrs and the leaders Of the
factions, have been in consultation as to what is
best to be done by each. 1t was apPrehended that
the wings would commence factious opposition,
and express sympathy with the enemy in their
desire to crmnate the administration. ! think
the sober second thought of this evening is, that
the honor and interests Of the country are to be
asserted and vindicated-that whatever censurc
may be considered as due to the past, there must
be no hating as to the present or the future.
WASHINGTON, May IL, Is46.
1t is currently reported and believed, that Brcvet
Brigadier General Worth has been re-ordered to
Texas, to supersede Brcvet Brgndier General
Taylor in command Of our forces. Such being
the case, it would be proper to review the recent
course Of the former, who is known to be polite,
wary, and intriguing
General Worth, in high-sounding letter, as it
the eyes Of his brother brcvet officers, resigned
his comm is sion. Did he wish that his resignation
should be accepted Lctthc following facts de-
eide In the same letter he offered his services
to General Taylor, to act in any capacity to which
nc might be appointed. This was based upon
tho ground of duty to his country. How much
he was influenced to serve his country, IN lieu OF
self, his subsequent acts must prove.
General Worth left the army ~ the south. In
short time he was in Washington. With q view
TO place him conspicuously before the public, an
account Of his interview with the Mexican gene.
raj was furnished for publication by some kind
friend and it was, no doubt, without the know
ledge, wish, or consent Of General Worth--morc-
" the effervcscence Of q spirit that dictated the
Letters 20 com plimentary to General w orth when
on tho ST. Lawrence frontier, and in the Florida
campaign. There could, of coursc, have been no
design in this. His superiority to all other officers
of the army, could alone have prompted it. s
Soon after General Worth's arrival in Wash
ineton, il was published, ashis opinion, that there
was no danger OF collision with the Mexican
troops. How much credit can be given TO his
opinions the result has proved, some will exclain
Not so fast. Docs IL not seem likely TINT he cx-
pressed that opinion to shield himself from the
ccnsurc which would be passed upon him, nao
he stated any other Docs il not seem prooape
that General Worth came to Washington fci 'ne
express and single purpose Of edsctins an oc'cc'
