A HOLIDAY SONG.
THE BLESSINGS or FAMILY KINDNESS.

Though wintry the time of the year
The weather keen, frosty or Hurky,
IT'S the season OF gifts and good cheer

For sacred to happiness still
THU holiday season we reckon.
Condemned let the mortal
Whose heart upon bliss never borders,
W bile gifts, fer the dear ones at home,
OF toys and Of ainkets he orders,
But hest OF all gifts 70 wife,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-The Committee
on Ways and Means reported the Fertilization
and Indian Appropriations to-day, and will
complete others by the beginning of next
week, thus clearing that calendar preparatory
to general legislation. Immediately atterward
the tariff bill will be taken up with the inten-
ton Of bringing forward a moderate and well
considered bill, founded upon the best practical
information, and having stability and proper
discrimination for leading ideas The friends
of protection do not ask any excessive meas
ures, but tariff which will afford revenue and
encourage suffering industry.
Senator Polk having returned, there is now
a majority on the Committee on Foreign Re
lations favorable to reporting the Mexican
treaty: but as the prospect of ratification is
dscouraging, no movement will probably be
made until the arrival of Senior Ocampo, who
is expected in about three weeks, with the
fullest discretion to accept whatever moditica-
tons may promise its success, and to smooth
the way by the many persuasive arguments
which carried the Gadsden treaty through the
Senate against an imposing opposition. AT
that time the Republicans had only Fl action
al representation. Now they have three
votes more than is necessary to defeat any
treaty
Dispatches from Minister Ward, received
at the State Department today, give flatter-
ing account of the working of the Chinese
treaty He states that the Emperor of China
was anxious to grant him an interview without
any ceremony other than is observed on ap-
preaching the President of the United States,
but the matter being submitted to the Chinese
cabinet, the Emperor was voted down by two
majority. The Japanese commissioners were
expected to leave at the time appointed.
The correspondence with the English gov
eminent touching the northwestern boundary
line has been resumed, each party claiming
clear title to the island of San Juan. 1t will
probably be settled by England taking the
island, and yielding some other point as sat
istactory equivalent.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 21.-The overland mail
coach, with San Francisco dates to the Both of
January, passed Malloy's Station at o'clock
this morning. The news by this arrival has
been in the main anticipated by an arrival at
New Orleans, via Ell Paso, of a mail with the
same dates. The silver mines discovered at
Mount st. Helens, in Napa county, has proved
to be of little value. The road between Pla.
ceryile and Carson Valley was unobstructed
by snow, and operations had been resumed in
some of the silver mines. The most unbound.
ed confidence appears to be felt in the extent
and richness of the mines east of the noun
tains.
A company had been organized to construct
ditch, 30 miles long, from Carson River to
the Placer gold mines, south and east of the
valley.
Accounts from Carson Valley say that the
condition Of the cattle in that section was terri
bic. In the vicinity of Worm Spring, it was
estimated that there were 5000 carcases in
sight at one time. The snow was going off,
and it was hoped that the grass would soon be
accessible
The excitement concerning the Washo sill
yer mines continued undated. The sales of
claims was made in San Francisco during the
two weeks previous to the departure of the
mail, and amounted to $50 900.
The judiciary Committee of the Legislature
on the 18th, made a lengthy report in favor of
releasing the suits on the bonds of the Pacific
Co. in the matter of the Sl240O0 defalcaton
of Mr.. Roles. Mr.. Lamar had introduced
resolution asking Congress to grant preemp-
ton letters to actual settlers from the Sd March,
1916, to the Bird March, 1861.
Advices from the Sandwich Islands are to
June It'll. The Queens birthday was cele-
brated as usual on the I'd. Mr.. Williams, one
of the pioneer missionaries who left Boston in
1873, and who has since remained constantly
on the Islands, sailed from Honolulu for New

ALL ON BOARD LOST!

HALIFAX, Feb. 90 Evening.-A large steam
er went ashore last night on Cape Ledge, west
side of Cape Sable. No communication has
been had between her and the shore
HARRINGTON, N. s., Feb. co. p. M-The
steamers lights were seen at o'clock this
morning, and at daylight she was found to
be ashore half mile from the Island
The sea was so rough that boats could not
reach her A vessel is preparing to go to her
assistance.
The American Consul proceeded at once to
the steamer, but has not returned. We shall
probably have particulars in the morning.
HALIFAX, N. S., 21.-The brig Cygnet,
which has arrived at this port in twelve days
Nfrom New York, when lying to in thick
weather on Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, off
Liverpool, Nova Scotia, saw a large screw
steamer steaming to w. N. w. Hence the
steamer ashore at Cope Ledge, is probably the
steamship Hungarian, Capt Jones, from Liv-
erpool, Eng, on the 9Th inst, for Portland.
The agent of the Associated Press has sent
special messenger to the scene of the disaster.
He has also just received the following
"BARRINGToN, N. S., Feb q. The Consul
arrived from the Island last night, but nothing
is yet known as to the wrecked steamship.
1t is supposed that all on board are lost A
vessel has gone round this morning"
HALIFAX, Feb. 21-Evening. follow
ing is the only news yet obtained from the
scene of the wreck The wrecked steamship
is the Hungarian, from Queenstown 9th inst,
and Liverpool the 8th. The crew and passen-
gers are all supposed to be lost. Small por
tons of her hull are now visible at low water
There is nothing like news for the Associated
Press unless it be i'll the mail, a small portion
of which has been saved in a damaged state
One passenger ticket found had on it the name
of Ellen Shcehan. The following has been
sent from Cape Sable to Cunard Co. =
"The steamers lights were seen Monday
morning at three o'clock. On Cape Ledge, at
daylight, spars and smoke pipe were standing 3;
at ten all gone by the board ; then the ship set
tied fast. A heavy sea running and breaking
mast high over her, communication with the
ship was impossible All are lost unless
boats left the ship before daylight, which is
not likely. At low water part OF the ship
still is visible"

From WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--The Senate, in
executive session to-day, ratified the treaty of
amlty and commerce with Paraguay. The
one previously ratified is for inde unity. The
Mexican treaty was reported and read, and its
consideration postponed till next Monday.
Senator Mason, chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, gave notice that he
should move from day to day, to go into exec
utive session. Several Republican senators
are known to be in favor of the treaty. The
views OF Senator Seward, a member of that
committee, are subject Of speculation.
large number OF strangers have arrived,
to witness the proceedings attendant on the
Inauguration Of the equestrian statue of Wash
ington.
The bill introduced by Senator Seward to-
day provides for the admission of Kansas I'M
der the Wyandotte Constitution. He gave
notice that he would call it up on Wednesday,
18th inst, when he will express his views on
the subject. This announcement will satisfy
the numerous inquiries which have been made
as to whether he intended to make a speech.
Among the business OF the House commit
tee on foreign affairs to-day, the resolution for
the acquisition OF Cuba and the Canadas, and
for commercial treaty with Cuba, together
with the French Spoliation bill, We're referred
to Mr.. Corwin; the resolution relating to the
seizure of the barque Amistad, to Mr. Burlin-
game; the bill for an international copyright
to Mr.. Morris of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Florence presented in the House, to-day,
memorial from the Philadelphia Board of
Underwriters, asking Congress to pass law
for the purchase of selt-righting life boats, and
for other appropriations necessary for the
equipment of liie-saving stations on the coasts
of Long Island and New Jersey. 1t was ap-
propriately referred to the Committee on Com
MERGE
Messrs. Barr and John Cochrane presented
memorials from citizens OF the state of New
York, praying for the freedom Of the public
lands to actual settlers. The number of such
memorials are largely on the increase.
Some OF the papers enormously represent
Mr.. Adams of Kentucky, instead of Mr..
Adams of Massachusetts, as member of the
House select committee on the Senate bill
abolishing the franking privilege.
