70 WAsHINGroN, June 25.--In the Senate
Pollard offered a. resolution instructiug
the Committee on public buildings and
grounds TO Inquire whether tract of land
Of about $50 acres adjoining or very near
the City Of Washington can be obtained at
q reasonable price for a public park and
site for Presidential Mansion. Adopted
The tax bill WAS then discussed and passed.
|,Morrill of Vermont from the Committee on
Ways and Means reported the tariff bill
which was ordered to ho printed and made
the special order for Thursday next. A
resolution was adopted increasing the sala-
ries of certain Glasses of employees of the
House twenty per cent. The House
refused to entertain the introduction Of q
resolution calling on the President to inform
the House what stcpsi' ry, had been taken
to interpose the good Offices of the United
States Government with Great Britain in
behalf of tho Fenians recently captured in
Canada. The tariff bill introduced to. day
is the longest ever reported and its consid-
Grafton in the House is likely to last the
whole week as there are many points which
will occasion discussion. Considerable ad-
ditions have been made to the free list, but
MOTTO great extent.
Extensive changes have been made in
leaving specific instead of advalorem duties
The classification of iron is entirely different
and of much more moment than the present
tariff. The duty on coffee and tea is un-
changed, on cigars two dollars and fifty
cents per pound and so per cent. advalorem.
The duty on coal is reduced from one dol
lar and twenty five cents per ton to fifty
cents per ton. The duty on nll kinds of
iron will be Increased from one quarter to
one cent per pound. Iron pegs nine dol
lars per ton; railroad iron which now pays
10 cents per 100 raised to one dollar. Iron
bars one and one quarter cent the duty on
steel of all kinds Will be doubled, on paris
white one ard one half cents per pound
the duty on papers has not been changed but
the internal revenue tax has been taken Off
the duties on cheap papers. None are very
largely increased both on the specific ana
alvalorem tax. The principal fght over it in
the House will be on the iron and steel,
lumber and coal causes. AS general
thing the wool growers and manufacturers
seem TO be satisfied with their clause of the
bill. Pennsylvanian protectionists are
highly dissatisfied notwithstanding the duty
on iron is largely increased,

\ CuRIovS ClLIFoRNiA STORY
a late Issue of the Napa county (Cal.)
Rcgist,r has y singular story
\ family residing in the Napa val
ley havo, within a few years past, lost
tivcpf it's members by death. BY
some curious coincidence a,friond re-
siding in San Francisco, has, at each
dcGcase, been on a visit to the family,
and the fact has been so remarkable as
to attract notice, and, in the minds of
some, create superstitious dread of
him. The year following the third
death, the gentleman paid visit to
the family, and the lady of the house
said in jocular manner on first accost-
ing him, "What misfortune do you
now bring Z" Apparently in good
health at the time, in an hour after
she was corpse. Recently he paid
his accustomed annual visit, and a
dauShter>in-law, who had been linger-
ing with consumption for some time,
died soon after his arrival. No blame
is attached to him as an instrument
causing these deaths, yet that q singu-
lar fatality to the family has been at
tcndant upon his annual visits is most
remarkable. In Italy the supcrsti-
tious people would believe him to pos
sess the fatal gift of the civil Eye"
