PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE proceedings
of the House to-day comprise little OF gener'
al interest or importance.
The greater portion of the sitting was &C.
cupied in, tie discussion of the amendment
of the Senate abolishing the franking prive-
Ige.
The amendment is attached to the Post
Office appropriation bill, and may delay the
appropriation for that purpose for seVera
days.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
STREET FIGHT AMONG MEMBERS.
WASHINGTON, Feb 11.-After the adj
iournment of the House to-day, Mr.. Fl. A
Edmouson, of Virginia, abruptly accosteC
John Hickman, of Pennsylvania, as the lat
ter was leaving the Capitol, and endeavorec
to strike him.
Senator Clingman, of North Carolina be
ing in company with Mr.. Edmonson, inter
fered and prevented the blow from taking
effect by grasping his right arm; whereupoI
Mr. Edmonson, with his left hand, aimee
another blow at Hickman, which knocked
off Hickman's hat.
Vice President Breckenridge seeing the
quarrel, came up the square at that moment
and took Mr.. Edmonson away, thus prevent
ing any serious results.
The alleged provocatiOn for making thu
attack upon Hickman, is the insulting ex
preston used by Mr.. Hickman in a recen
speech in the House of Representatives, IL
the course of which he used the insulting
expression that Seventeen men and GOV
| frightened the whole State of Virgins" witt
other offensive comments upon tho alarm
occasioued in Virginia by the Harper's Fer
ry invasion.

A TRIBUTE.

To the Memory of Andrea c. Watson, rho died al
the Medical University of Philadelphia, N JanHd-
~, 1860, in the 22d gear Of his age.
In lifs's sunny morn, ere cloud Ger the SKIES
To dim their pure lustre was seen to arise
In the spring dawn Of youth, ere darkness or gloom
Had shadowed his pathway, he sank to the tomb
No fond eve watched DER him with Borrowing tear
No voice of affection fell soft on his ear;
No loved one bent DER him to kiss the pale brow
That paler and colder than marble lies now.
Where the blue mountains rise to meet the blue
sky;
Where the clear rivers glide, and fair vallies lie
From home, and from kindred andfriends, fur away
Within strange land, among strangers he lay
But Angels unseen came down from the skies,
And heard his last sigh ere they sealed up his
eyes;
Blest spirits from Heaven, full Ct pity and love
To bear his freed spirit to mansions above.
To his own native cline they've borne him to rest
Where his own mother earth now lies on his breast
And coldly above him the night-dews now weep
But he heedeth them not in his unbroken sleep
Thou art gone in thy youth-thy brief life is Ger
The dark river cross'd to Eternity's shore
A brighter goal reached than the Temple OF Fame
Where flowers immortal entwine with thy name
Farewell though fond hearts with sorrow deplOr
thee,
The day soon will dawn, again to restore thee;
Where nights purpling shadows ne'er fteal o'e
the skies,
And the sorrowing tear is wiped from all eyes

Col. FoRYEY.-This recreant time server, the
right bower of the little squatter sovereignty
champion, Stephen A. Douglas, was nominated
and elected Clerk of the House by the Black Re-
publicans 1t requires a very slight transition
for Douglas man to place himself in full afhlia-
ton with he Black Republicans, and to be honor
ed by them, if, indeed, they can honor any one
with office. This man Fornsy was strong sup
porter of President Buchanan in 1856, and aspired
to an appointment to a foreign mission, which
position the President knew he had not the capaci
tv fill and rejected him In the bitterness of hi
disappointment he has been reviling the Presi
dent ever SINCE As he fights altogether for thu
provant he will, after the next Presidential cleo
ton, have two chances for Office If Mr. DougIa
is elected, he could net refuse his pet place
If Black Republican is elected, why, OF course
he has as much claim to Office as any of them

The disadvantages of poverty are forcibly
illustrated by the borrid state of things
among the Chinese and Malays who inbab>
it the celebrated Island of Singapore. Ii
gers so abound in that island and are so
fond of human flesh and blood that they
make regular foray from the jungle and a
man is borne off by them every day, tho ma
tives being powerless to prevent the sacrifice
and too plaguey poor to leave the Island.
This is hard case, when no one knows how
soon he may be converted into tigers meat.
If they only had money enough to purchase
ticket in the Lotteries of Hodges, Davis
&C.,, Macon Ca, they might stand a chance
of drawing capital prize or at least money
enough to pay their passage to this country
where there are no tigers, and where they
might be made lions of. We, however, car
send 50, SIS, IS, $40 or SIG to the Obovt
address and have an equal opportunity will

How LOLA MoSrEz MAKES HER MONEY

How LOLA MoNTEz MAKES HER MONEY.
Remarkable Fact Come TO Light.-The
vicissitudes of the varied life of Lola have
been trumpetod to the world by the press
and by her own lectures. She is a strange
crcature-extraordinary compound z! She
says herself that she has Irish, English and
Moorish blood in her veins. She was born
in Ireland, her military father having mixed
blood, and she has passed her life in many
countries She has married we know not
how many times, and it is none of our busi-
ness. She is a fiery, intelligent, accom-
plished, unhappy, restless, generous, indis-
Greet, and altogether charming being, who
always creates talk wherever she goes,
whether she fights men, tames bears, lee
lures, sets types, talks, acts, dances, or does
anything else. AS she is SO generous, peo-
pie have often wondered where she got the
money, Envious and slanderous people have
made dark insinuatiops on that head, and
told many tale about it--mostly false
The real truth has at last come out, and
glory to the sex to her honor, after all
1t has been said, by some kindly disposed
but imaginative persons, that she receive:
an annuity of s., 500 from the estate of hel
late husband, Head. No such thing!-
Lola has been believer in her star, like
Napoleon, and she has been a trusttul Pur
chaser in the rich and lucky Lotteries .
Hodges, Davis & Co., Macon, Ga, to whom
she incoses from SIS to $40, and receive
the drawing and often large amounts o
money, by mail. We say to every man AM
every man, 90 thou and do like Lola-iI
that respect.-Zion's Herald.
