ment United States officers or other per-
sons for loaning deposits, or otherwise
unlawfully using public money or prop
erty for their own benefit. The bill,
passed.
Pile asked leave to introduce o bill to
abolish the Office of Adjutant General.
Glosbrenner objected.
At ten minutes past 2 o'clock, Stevens
rose to make o report from the Commit
tee on Reconstruction.
The Speaker ~admonishcd the specta-
tors and members to preserve order dur
ing the proceedings about to take place,
and manifest neither approval or disap-
prevail.
Stevens made the following report:
"That, in addition to the papers re-
ferred, the committee find that the
President on the 2lst of February signed
and ordered n commission or letter of
authority to one Lorenzo Thomas, di-
recting and authorizing said Thomas to
net as Secretary Of War ad interim, and
to take possession Of the books, records,
papers and other public property in the
War Department. Then follows q copy
| of the order issued to Thomas. Upon
evidence collected by the committee,
which is hereinafter presented, and in
virtue Of the power with which they
have been invested by the House, they
are of opinion that Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, should
be impeached of high crimes and mis-
demeanors. They, therefore, recon-
mend to the House the adoption of the
accompanying resolution" Signed by
Stevens, Boutwell,, Bingham, Hulburd,
Beaman, Fnrnsworth and Paine.
Resolved, That Andrew Johnson, Pres.
ident of the United States, be ~impeached
of high crimes and misdcmeanors.
The report having been read, Stevens
said: "Mr. Speaker, it is not my inten-
ton in this first instance to discuss this
question, or, if there be no desire on
the other side, to discuss it all. We are
willing that the question shall be taken
on the knowledge which you see al.
ready. The fact of removing q mar
from Office while the Senate is in ses-
sion, without the consent Of the Senate,
is itself, If there was nothing else, and
always has been considered a high crime
and misdemeanor. But | will not dis
cuss this question unless gentlemen on
tho other side, desire to do so. If they
do, l shall, for the present, give way to
them, and say what have to say in
conclusion"
Brooks then took the floor and made
q lengthy speech against the resolution.
After the conclusion Of Brooks
speech, one was made by Spanlding, in
support of the resolution.
Bingham hoped to reach q vote this
evening.
The Senate met Immediately and nd
journed to Monday.

TIE all-absorbing topic Of news ~
the formal removal Of Stanton from tue

whom the matter was referred, on the

PATIENCE is o great power in earthly
things. There is no art, besides skill
and steadiness in work, which man is
SO slow to learn, or which he needs
more to learn, than the art of patient
waiting. We scold at Fate when we
encounter disappointment, but true
philosophy counsols silence and contin-
ued effort. For Fate has her own way
and time for rewarding the worker.
And as We cannot compel Fate, how
much better is it to submit quietly and
without repining to her will. No grief
is 80 wearing and of SO little use as
grief over the inevitable. Merit too
often fails to get its due 10 this world
from the mere impotence Of the meri-
torious. We can establish our claim
&c the rewards given by Fate. But no
mar ever succeeded in setting the tine
at which those rewards should be given.
Hence, no man can do a wiser thing
than to wait, if he also work while
waiting.

PRUSSIA is about to become the pos
SCISSOR of the most powerful iron.clad
vessel in the world. Three years ago
the Sultan of Turkey wanted m iron
clad which should surpass all others in
size, speed, armor and armament, and
the Thames Iron Works Company Of
London contracted to build such q ship.
A failure of payment on the part of the
Turkish Government left the vessel in
the hands of the company, and it was
offered at bare cost to the British Ad-
miralty. Circumlocution and red tape
delayed the decision, and meanwhile
the Prussiau Government offered to
purchase tho ship at a considerable ad-
vance upon the price at which it was
rendered to Great Britain. The con-
tract had hardly been signed transfer
ring the iron-clad to Prussia when the
British Admiralty appeared us a pur-
chaser, but too late. Thus this formid-
able vessel, the "King William"
passes to Prussia, and the London Times,
in view Of the possibility of some time
seeing her arrayed against British fri
gates, says: Wo betidc any Of our
vessels of the Warrior or Minotaur class
which shall meet her." This new and
formidable iron-clad is 365 feet in length;
breadth, 60 feet; of G,oOO tons burden;
her engines, nominnlly of 1900 horse
power, can be worked up to 1000 horse
power; and the ship is so armorcd as to
present at no point less than six inches
of solid plate, and generally eight
inches, backed by ten-inch teak, and q
double iron skin. Her armament in.
cludcs twenty-six three-hundred-pound-
ers, and seven hundred men will be re.
quired to man the ship. This splendid
ship, costing s., zoo, 900 in gold, is pro-
nounccd to be in strength and arma-
ment a feet in herself" and her pur-
chase by Prussia may be taken rs an
indication of tho intention of that Gov
ernment to be rs invincible On the seas
as she has lately shown herself to DO
on land.

Ilsoraa. / don't ktoH what 10 a6 with
you. "Dch't yohi said he, looking
up in her. face, No, indeed, I
don't . % Then. " said he =. If that is
SO, I'll behave" which he according
~ did, marching into the other room
with her. and conducting himself
for the, rest of the evening like
little gentleman She had capitu-
latcd-given up the struggle for au-
thority. He was now behaving on his
own responsibility.
( This case suggests another which
illustrates the same point, but has
grotesque feature of its own. A gen.
tleman in Northampton, with whom
I spent delightful week, and who
belongs to one of the Puritan fami-
lies, told me that for several years he
had tried whipping with his boy, but
found it Intellectual. On one occasion
the boy was caught in his oft repeated
fault. His father took him to his
room. upbraided him for his per-
sistent disobedienee, reminded him
(which was probably unnecessary
that he had several times been obliged
in the way of parental duty, to apply
therod of correction; that it seemed
as vet to be in vain; that he was much
disheartened and was at loss what
to do with him. A bright thought
occurred to the boy. " Father" said
he, " suppose you pray" The father
was a good man, and could not refuse
to do this But having a strong sus-
picion IN his mind that the boy had
suggusied this Christian exercise in
order to escape punishment, he prayed
for the young reprobate first, and
whipped him afteTward. He told me,
however, that he had never becn able
to make anything out of the boy till
he gave up hogging and appealed to
TIE boys sense or what was right and
proper. .,,ra
This seemed to be general expe-
rience in the States. In most of the
American schools, whipping is dis
continued. and in many places, pro-
hibited BY law; and yet / can testify
from my own observation that the
order maintained in these. schools is
more perfect than / have seen in sim
liar schools elsewhere. The precocity
of American children and the demo-
cratic ideas that perVades society and
filter down even into the minds of the
youngest, accounr, probably, for three
facts-frst, that American parents,
guardians and teachers do not expect
the same reverence and unquestion-
able obedience that is looked for and
inculeated with US; second, that the
children there wilk not be governed
by mere authority and force; and
third, that happily, as a counterpoise
they become at an exceedingly early
age amenable to reason.

The far-famed Robert Heller can
not be satisfied Sith his legitimate
triumphs before an audience, but oc-
easionally does neat thing for his
own amusement, very much to the
surprise Of those who happen to be
present.
On Saturday last, while passing an
;tinerant vender of cheap provisions,
Mr.. Heller suddenly paused and in
quired:
8 How do you sell eggs, auntie?"
Dem eggs" was the response;
dey am a picayune apiece-fresh,
too, de last one of EN-; billed 'em my
self, aud know dey's first rate"
Well, I'll try, 'em, said the ma
gician, as he laid down bit of frac-
Iional currency. Have you pepper
and salt?"
Yes. sir. dere dey is" said the
sable saleswoman, watching her GUS
toner with intense inter- st.
Leisurely drawing out a neat little
penknife, Mr.. Heller proceeded very
quietly to cut the egg exactly in half,
when suddenly bright, new twenty
| five cent piece was discovered lying
imbedded In the yolk, apparently as
bright as when it came from the mint.
Very coolly the great magician trans
ferred the coin to his vest pocket, and
taking up another egg, inquired:
And how much do you ask for
this egg?' r-..a.e
De Lord bress my SOUL Dat egg?
De fact am, boss, dis egg is worth a
dime, shuar."
ALI right. was the RESP ouse !;
here's the dime. Now give me the
egg"
Separating it with an exact pre-
cision that the colored lady watched
| eagerly, a quarter eagle was most
carefully picked out of the egg, and
placed in the veat pocket of the ope-
rator as before. The old woman was
| thunder struck, as well she might
have been, and her customer had to
ask the price for the third egg two or
three times before he could obtain a
reply.
Oars no use talkin', mars" said
the bewildered old darkey, can't

than quarter, l declare to de Lord

Very good said Heller, whose
imperturbable features were as sol.
emn as an undertaken, " there is your
quarter and here is the egg. All
right"
As he opened the last egg, brace
of five dollar gold pieces were discov-
cred snugly deposited In the heart OF
the yoke, and jingling them merrily
together In his little palm, the ser.
want coolly remarked:
Every good eggs, indeed | rather
