FROM WAsnINGroN.-Thero is an intense feeling
OF dissatisfaction in the House with the Selec.

A SISTER or CnAHirY.--The Richmond cores.
espondent Of the Petersburg Express writes:
1t is not, perhaps, generally known that the
lion. Edward Everett has a sister nov performing
the sacred duties Of a Sister of Charity yet such
is the fact, and she is about to take the position Of
Lady Superior in the St. Joseph's Seminary in this
city. She will probably arrive nearly at the same
time with Mr.. Everett who is coming to deliver his
grand grafton on the chracter Of Washington.
The HTGHLAND GIRL OF LucKNow.--The story Of
the Scotch girl at Lucknow hearing the bagpipes of
the RELIEVING force is too perfect for a change or
improvement. The true value of such stories is,
that they are close to the fact, true to everyday
speech end nature. and rooted in prose idiOm--and
they can MT more bear versifcation than tho wild
strawberry or wild violet can bear retransplanta.

TIE LATE GENERAL HAvELocK This general
whose deceasa in India has been so much lament
ed, was not only q soldier, but a preacher. He was
q member Of the Baptist church in Calcutta, and is
said By the missionary Kincaid, who knew him
well, to have been u devoted Christian. lie was
accustomed to carry with him a preaching tent, in
which to exercise his personal gifts as a preacher
of the gospel. His Influence was great and good
in the army. Lord Cough used to rely upon his
brigade for the most difficult and dangerous
work and at one time, wien required
to send forward u force on a particularly
perilous and important enterprise. calling Cor great

FOREIGN GOLD AND THE TARIFF OF 46--In the
present ex elements over other matters. we should
not lose sight Of the remarkable disclosures of Mr..
Williamson, of Few York, in regard to the use
made of Foreign gold at Washington, some years
since. He asserts us Of his positive knowledge,
that the great Democratic tariff of 1916 "8as car.
ried by bribing Congressman. Seven million
dollars of British money, and eighty thousand
francs from France, he definitely states, were used
for this purpose.
The statements are made by one who had full OPP
portunity in knowing their truth. This same Mr..
Williamson was q secret commercial agent, sent
out from England, to this country first in 1871,
and continued to act in that capacity for the next
ten years. This fact gives credibility to his testi-
mony, ard unless satisfactorily refuted. his state
ments will be generally believed.
