Congressional Welus,
Exciting Debate in Congress.

The following exciting scene occurred in

Richardson, of Illinois, and Mr.. Burnett, of
Kentucky -
Mr.. Stevens. Of PENNSYLVANIA, from the
Committee of Ways and Means. reported
bill approprating 100000 TO pay the police
organized by the United States authorities
in the city of Baltimore.
Mr.. Burnett. of Kentucky, said as this bill
made an appropriation, he desired it should
first be considered in Committee of the Whole
on the state of the Union. This, be said
was one Of those extraordinary measures
resulting from the extraordinary acts of the
a Administration. The civil authorities 10 the
city of Baltimore have been superseded, auG
military police established iu lieu thereof 10
violation of the express law of one of the
sovereign States. This, too, was done with.
out color or claim Of legal warrant, either
derived from :he Constitution or any other
power derived from law. This was followed
by another high handed act. Private citi

He left Montgomery under private instruc.

made his way to Havana. From that place
he proceeded to Aspinwall, where his over.
inquisitiveness relative to American ocean
and California steamers attracted the atten.
ton and excited the suspicion Of the Ameri-
can consul, who forwarded description of
bis person to Secretary Seward. Directions
were at once sent to Superinte eudent Kennedy,
to arrest the boy as soon as be landed 10

were intrusted with the case. The lad
arrived here, and put up at the Cortlsndt

3. Let the bearing shoots be as short as
possible, aud in immediate connection with
the Duin branches. Fruit growing on the
stem is always larger than that situated ct
the. extremties OF long slender branches.
4. Thinning oot the fruit when too nume.
rous.
s. Shortening the principal branches at the
winter pruning, eud checking 10 the sommer
the vigorous shoots.
6. Supporting the fruit, go that their
weight msy not become strain upon the foot
stalk
Z. Moderatng the amount Of evaporation
from the fruit. Fruits covered by leaves are
larger than those or the same tree not shaded.
IL is necessary, however, 10 order that sba-
ding may not affect the quality Of the fruit,
to expose it when foil grown to the direct
action Of the sun. The diminished evspors.
tion must be attributed to considerable in.
crease Of size which always takes place in
fruit introduced into bottles soon after it is
set. The mouth Of the bottle being closed
after q portion of the branch from the dry
action of the air, aud is constantly surrounded
with moist, warm atmosphere, which keeps
the epiderms plisble, and stimulates the
growth OF the tissues.
8. NJ oisten the fruit with solution of sui.
phate Of iron (copperas.) Oue of Prof. D.'s
pupils, by mosteniug an eastern Beurre pear,
from the time it was fairly set, once a fort
! night, obtained fruit so large that it would
scarcely be recognized.
9. Ringing the shoot or branch immediate
ly below the flowers. This should be done
when the flowers are opening; the longer it
is delayed after this period, the less is the
effect produced. The ncsion should pene.
trate to the wood, and the ring of bark
removed should have width equal to half
the diameter of the shoot. The width, how.
ever, should not exceed one-6fth Of an inch,
otherwise the wood will not close up.
| 10. Inserting on vigorous trees fruit buds.
with a portion Of wood attached. A tree,
which in consequence Of excessive vigo. has
never produced blossom buds, may by this
means be made to produce fruit of large size
from the abundant supply Of cap which the
Inserted blossom buds will receive. But il
will be necessary to pinch the shoots of the
tree 10 summer, which would otherwise absorb
the larger portion Of sap, to the injury Of the
fruit.

The Man with o Snake in his Hat.

DR.. Dixon in his New York Monthly
Scslpel states that gentleman of the high
est veracity related TO him the following
snake story, which beats anything we have
read lately:
"Going into q very public ordinary for din.
ner he was surprised t. observe the extra
care with which q gentleman, who took the
seat opposite to him, took off his hat. He
turned his head as nearly upside down as
possible without breaking his neck then
placing bis hand over the inside OF his hat.
he again turned it, end received its carefully
guarded couteBts, concealed by pocket
handkerchief; in his hand, then gently laying
the back Of his hand on the cushion, he slid
the hat aud its contents off aud commenced
dinner The attention of my friend was
irresistably directed toward the hat, and his
surprise greatly increased. the reader may
we'll imagine, on observed tho head Of a
szabe snake thrust ont and looking sharply
about him. The gentleman perceiving the
discovery addressed him m-My dear sir, | was

DECISION AND Destiny Pizarro the con
queror Of Peru, in one of his reverses, was
cast on the Island of Gallo with few of his
followers. Wheu in a starving condition, two
vessels arrived from Panama for his relief, and
to induce him to abandon his object. Now
came the test Of his decision of character, aud
the determination of his earthly destiny
Drawing his sword, he traced a line with it on
the sand from east to west. Then turning
toward the south, "Friends and comrades" he
said, ION that side are toll, hunger, nskedness,
the drenchipg storm. desoation and death -
on this side are ease and pleasure. There
lies Peru with its riches-here Panama with
it's poverty. Choose, each man, what becomes
a brave Castilian. For my part go to the
South" So saying. he stepped across the
line. He was followed BY eleven others, aud
Peru was conquered.

Bonaparte's Early Poverty.

nj. Theirs, in bis history o! the consulate,
rec:tes some very strange and previously
unknown particulars respecting the early lie
and penury of Napoleon Bonnparte.
1t appears that after he had obtained a
subaltero's commission in the French service,
by his skill and daring at Toulon, he lived
some time in Pars in obscure lodgings, and
in such extreme poverty that be was often
without the means Of paying ten sous (ten
cents) for bis dinner, aud frequently vert
without any at all. lie was under the
necessity Of borrowing small sums, and even
worn out clothes, from bis acquaintances =
III and bic brother Louis, afterwards King Of
Holland, had at one time only a coat between
them, so that the brother could only go out
alternately, time and about. At this crisis
the chief benelsctor Of the future Emperor
and couqueror "at whose mighty name the
world grew pale" was the actor Talma. who
often gave him food and money. Napo.eon's
afterwards 80 famed for its classical mould,
was during that period OF starvation harsh
and angular in its lineaments, with projecting
cheek bones. His meager fare brought on
and an unpleasant and unsigbtly cutaneous
disease. OF type so vrulent and malignant,
that it took oil the asGduity of his accom-.
plished physician CorvSart, to expo, u, .'.e-
duration OF more than ten years.
The squalid beggar, then the splendid EN-.
peror afterwards threadbare habliments

and terror of the wurd-an exile and pri.
soner. Such are the ups and downs Of bis
| changeable life, such are the lights aud sha.
dows OF the great and mighty.
