Of all difficulty with Spnin respecting the Island
Of Cuba, and it is now believed by some who have
every opportunity of forming correct judgment
that the Island will belong to the United States,

We know that negotiations for the annexation Of

we are aware that the representative OF Honduras
is already at the capital seeking admission into our
Union. Never at any previous period in the history
of our country have many important national
measures been brought forward during any one
session of Congress, and yet the journals and
letter. writer's at the North, our correspondent
among the number, tells us that nothing has been

branches of the administration. An examination
of facts will teach them that the administration is
not quite as much TO blame they would lead

Deaf Mute Marriage.

A novel and interesting marriage ceremony
took place in New York day two since
The purtIcs were Mss Tray ToIes, graduate Of
the deaf and dumb ins,u,ion, and Mr.. Lewis
Peet, Of the instructors Of the deaf mutcs.
About two hundred and eighty persons Witnessed
the ceremony. The bride was dressed in elegant
white satin, with tulle over.dress. She wore a
tulI VEIL which fell gracefully over both shoulders,
ard natural wreath Of orange blossom and Of
myrtle leaves in her hair. beautiful boquet of
Write flowers was in one hand, and bunch of
choice flowers IN her bosom. Nothing could
have been more neat, appropriate, and beautiful.
The bridesmaids were each dressed in rich pink
silks, with pink tuIIe over,drcsses. The flowers
were appropriate in color, and profuse in number
and beauty. The bridal party received general
admiration for the taste and elegance Of their
dresses and fine appearance.
The marriage services were simple and without
restraint, very impressive. The bridegroom in.
terpreted in the sign language, TO the lady beside
him, the words Of the aged pastor, and at their
close the BRIDE kissed both her husband and tho
minister who had united ihcm in the bonds of holy
wedlock.
The bride received many handsome presents,
such gold and silver plate. elegant gold brace-

Congress and the Administrati ton
What has been Done?

The weather is beginning 10 seriously affect our
usually calm and unruffled correspondent, as well
as everything else in and about Washington, u.
will be seen by his interesting letter in another
| column. He g ives us vast deal OF Information,
speed with complaints in abundance. In the first
place he finds it very difficult to gather news, be-
cause the weather is so warm and the season so
dull that there IS little stirring at the capita-per.
iectly natural what man thing would STIR these
hot days if it could be avoided? Next, he is dis
posed to find fault with the administration because
Congress negsects to act upon all the important
measures suggested in the Presidents message and
the accompanying documents from the Depart
ments. Why the administration should be held
responsible for the neglect and procrasiinaton OF
Congress, separate and independent body, we
are at a loss to divine. 1t is the duty Of Congress
not the President 10 make laws. However, the
shoulders OF the administration are broad, and as
it would be rather difficult job TO divide and lay
upon each Congressman his individual share Of
dereilctIon. we suppose our correspondent on this
occasion thought it would be much easier and just
well to cast the entire bulk Of complaints upon
the administration, leaving the members thereof
to get rid Of the misfortune in the best way they
can. But, serious v, as our correspondent seems
impressed with the belief that little or nothing has
been done by either the administration or Congress
at this session, let take glance at the calender

his troubled mind.
True" replied Strosser, [" but the debt ofgra-

Al this singular turn in the tide Of fortune, Mr..
Barton fairly wePi for JOY.

Glove tree. not now in its bearing season, has
resemblance to the nut, but the leafs smaller and
the foliage more loose and spreading. AS we drove
through the orchard the warm air OF noon was
