Total number Of boats on all canals,

Total number OF boats on all canals 1926
1t appears from the foregoing, that OFT OF
nineteen hundred and fifty boats on the
Erie Canal and at tide water there are only
33S within 200 miles Of Buffalo. The un-
usually large number at tide water, equal to
S22 is undoubtedly owing to the high prices
of freight last fall. And the large number
between Syracuse and Troy, equal to $50.
is undoubtedly owing to the same cause, and
are doubtless mostly boats with down cargoes
frozen in last fall, and whose cargocs came
down by railroad.

DEL1EUM TREMENs. The New Haven
Fountain speaks Of case of this disease in
which the wretched victim actually gnawed
off his tongue, conceiyingit to be a horrible
reptile that had crept into lis mouth. There
is nothing in the slightest degree incredible in
the account. We have seen man who was
laborng under the iacpient stages of this
disease, and who imagined that he had swal-
lowed lizard or some other monster, which
was making frequent efforts to crawl up into
his mouth. Under this belcf,hc scraped and
gougcd at his uyula, or pendulous palate, I'M
til it was fairly lacerated in his endeayors to
tear it away. The clots of blood which were
detached, served to convince him that he had
succeeded in securing portion Of the reptile

4 Doc GOING TO CHURoH. 4 poodle dog
belonging TO gentleman in Cheshire, was in
the habit of not only going to church, but
remaining quietly in the pew during service
whether his master was there or not. One
Sunday the dam at the head ola lake in that
neigDborhood gave way, SO that the whole
road was inundated. The congregation in
consequence consisted of a very few, who
came from some cottages close by,but nobody
attended from the great house. The clergy
man informed the lady that, whilst reading
the psalms, he saw hisfriend the poodle come
slowly up the aisle, dripping with wet, hav-
ing swan above a quarter Of mile to go to
church. He went to the usual pew, and
quietly remained there to the end of service.

RENT PAID. A colored man in the West
indies, who, while slave, always drank his
halfpint Of rum per day, was employed when
he became free by his old master, who notic-
ing that he took no rum, inquired the reason.
"O" said the emancipatod, sing half pint a
day just pays my reM." How lamentable that
so many white men in our land have not
the discernment, sense, and sof-control OF this
colorcd man. Their pints would pay their
rent-bills, and bid harmony and thrift walk
into their dwellings, and shame, strife, and
rags walk out

Congressional proceedings.

WEDNESDAY, Feb "a
SENATE.-The Three Million Bill was taken
up and Mr. Benton commenced his speech Mr..
Benton launched out at once against Mr. Calhoun
and in vindcation OF the President charging the
former with the responsibility of the War. His
remarks were directed chiefly to review OF the
Treaty OF 1919, and in defence of the Rio Grande
being the true boundary.
Mr. Calhoun replied, and said that only one
thing was important in the speech of the Senator
from Missouri, and that was the admission that
this war was unpopular, and that being unpopu-
lar, IT would soon be terminated. The rest of
his remarks, Nj Calhoun said, was the weakest.
trashiest attempt at argument that he ever heard.
HoUsE.--A great number of reports were
made and several bills were passed-one to Gre
ate new Collection District in Texas.
The House went into Committee of the Whole
on the bill TO establish Post Routes in different
States and Territories. Numerous amendments
were moved and adopted, and finally the bill, as
amended, was reported to the House and like
wise an additional bill, increasing the compensa-
ton OF Postmasters in certain circumstances, and
amending the Thanking privilege Of Members of
Congress and others on all maIable matter, dur
ing the recess of Congress. Both these bills af-
ter considerable discussion, were passed by the
House.
The House refused to suspend the rules to per-
nit G. -. lngersoll to introduce resolution pro-
vididing that the U. S. ship Pennsylvania, and
other U. s. vessels not employed, should be sent
to ireland, for the purpose of carrying grain.
From THE ARMY. Tampico dates OF Feb
9Th have been received. The ship Ondiaka hav-
ing on board four Companies Of the Louisiana
Volunteers, was wrecked about thirty miles south
OF Tampico. The soldiers and crew were all
saved, but destitute Of clothing. The wreck was
seized by eight hundred Mexicans.
Gen. Scott was still at Brazo. Santiago The
health of the troops at Tampico was good, with
the exception OF a malignant fever which was
confined to the hospital. Col. Price had had
severe battle at Chihuahua with large force of
Mexicaus There was great loss on both sides
but the Americans finally triumphed over double
force, and took possession of the town.
The ship Katherine from New York with
troops had arrived at Tampico.
General Patterson had received dispatches
from Commodore Conner, which were supposed
to relate to proposition for peace between Mex
leo and this country.

FRENCH PRINCES The Steele, of the nth,
draws rather a singular sketch of the constraint
in which the sons and daughters-n-law OF the
Royal Family Of France are kept, It says:
"The Duke OF Montpensier would be glad to
give brilliant parties, to which he would admit all
Paris; but, unfortunately, he is not at liberty to do
as he pleases. The least desire, both of himself
and his brothers, must be submitted to higher ur-
isdiction. They cannot take the least step, the
least recreation, without official permission to
do so. Thus, for example, if they go to theatre,
1t must be with permission The restraint OF
family authority is exercised TO the fullest extent
and to it is also joined the authority Of military
hierarchy, consraining the general officers to the
rules Of discipline. The Princes barracked at
the Tuileries cannot go out in the evening, with
out obtaining the ten o'clock permission, or the
midnight permission. Much less can they give
parties, without permission from the supreme au-
thority. Although they are past the age when
persons become free from guardianship, they are
not entirely masters OF their own actions, or their
fortunes. A wise and prudent control presides
over allthe expenses, and fixes the use OF their
own Income Thus the Duke of Montpensier 10
not at liberty to spend, as he pleases the magni.
ficent income with which his marriage had en-
lowed him nor can the Duke dAumale lavish,
with the liberalty Of youth, the rich heritage OF
the Prince of Condo. II seems, however, that
the dowery OF the Duchess Of Montpensier is not
as rich as has been supposed, and generally stat
ed The thirty -four millions have undergone an
unexpected modification. They are not so MANY
frances as was supposed, but only reals-Span-
ish coin, worth only fourth part Of a franc. But
the Duke OF Montpensier, in spite Of this diininu-
ton OF his dowery, esteems himself happy TO have
married SO illustrious and charming Princess.

Plus TX. AND THE CLERGY OF chill

H..
We lind the following good story in the Paris
ian Gossip of The Courier des Estats Unis:
1t is barely year since there came to the
Court OF Rome the report Of great immortality
among the clergy of part Of South America,
particularly Of Chilli the Arch Bishops, the
Bishops, the Curates, and even the lowest Friars
INDUCING in the least Catholic Of habits
living publicly with white or black women, and
surrounded by children OF all colors. In order
to put an end to these abuses, and to punish the
delinquents, Gregory XVI, sent out the most
severe and capable Of all his Cardinals. His en-
inence Mastai-F Ferret, was the choice of the Ho
ly Father for this mission. Armed with plenarv
powers IRON the successor Of st Peter, the Rev
erend Prelate showed himself worthy OF the con-
fdence which had been placed in him, and pun.
ished the offenders with severity and Justice al
most all the high ecclesiastical dignitaries were
changed, the others smartly reprimanded, and in.
formed that direct oversight would in future be
maintained upon them. All went well, and order
was restored as long as the Cardinal remained In
the country; but hardly had the vessel which
bore him homeward lost sight of the coast OF
America, than the punished offenders rebelled
for the purpose OF reganing their places. and a
horrible confusion ensued. After violent con
test 1t was agreed that the matter should be re-
ierred TO the Supreme Judge, that the prelate
whom the Pope had sent to re. establish order
had brought nothing but trouble and almost civil
war with him, and that an Embassy should be
sent to Rome TO have the author OF the evil pro.
perly punished. All these battles, discussions
and arrangements occupied Of course a consider
able length OF time finally the ENJOYS departed,
but while all this was going on in Chill much
more grave events were taking place at Rome
Gregory XVI. was dead and Cardinal Mastai-
Ferreti had inherited the tiara of the Holy Faith
er. The new Pope learned secretly both the ar
rival Of the Chian Ambassadors and the pur-
pose OF their voyage, and hardly had they set
foot on the Roman soil when, without having
time to speak TO any one, they received an order
to appear before the Pope. This seemed to them
a good omen, and they promised themselves the
speedy downfall Of the impudent Cardinal who
had presumed to NEEDLE with their affairs In
this frame of mind they arrived at the Vatican.
They were introduced at once after the usual
genuflexons and salutes they raised their ewes
but only to recoil with astonishment and embar.
rassment, for the Holy Father before them was
the very man whom they came to have punished.
They stammered few words with dificultv.-
Plus w. teigned to be ignorant of their design,

DETECTION OF VOLUNTEERS. Two of the compan-
les of the North Carolina volunteers have determined not
to enter the service. One of them the Rowan company
have disbanded and gone home; the other, the Neck
enburg company, have resolved to offer themselves TO
the President as dragons in the regular army. The
cause OF this detection is said TO be the action Of the Leg
islaure in voting the money to the volunteers and dis
satisfaction with the field officers

u A huge oak log. measuring FIVE feet six inches in
length was taken to Rochester the l8ih TO be sawed

We were led to query, reading the above, what
there was in the incident mentioned to make it worthy
OF recoTd-whether it was, its being huge log, its
length or It's being taken to Rochester, the time he
18TH II was taken there, because it to be sawed
into plank. We finally concluded that the interest of
the matter consisted in the fact that the owner of the
log should have cut just fire feet sir inches long rather
than Sir feet fire inches any other particular length
At any rate, the fact that ii FIVE feet inches long
may justly be considered "werry remarkable" one.
