ceries to the best advantage, at Peters 6

and therefore the reason that Peters &

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The SPEAKER said he had been re-
uuested to present to the House, and as the
matter appeared to be national In its char
acter, he did present an invitation from the
Executive committee from the National
American Sharp Shooters to attend pub
lie demonstration and festival, which is to
take place at Jones Wood, New York, from
June 27 to July G. - y
Mr.. JUDD moved that the Invitation be
accepted, and that the House be represent
ed at the opening ceremony by five mem
bers.
MIR. STEVENS. of Pennsylvania, hoped
not. 1t was very bad practice to learn
people to shoot sharp. The motion was
agreed to. s.llsa 20
The SPEAKER appointed the following
members to represent the House: Messrs.
Judd, Garfield, Paine, Chanler and Orth.
Mr.. BINGHAM. from the committee on
Reconstruction, reported back the Senate
amendment to the act to admit certain
States to representation in Congress, with
a recommendation that the amendment be
concurred in.
MIR. SPALDING moved to concur in the
amendments OF the Senate, with an amend
ment striking out Alabama.
Florida out of the bill, and gave his reasons
for the motion. He was thoroughly con-
yinced that Florida ought not to be admit
ted with its present Constitution.
Mr.. PAINE argued against the admis-
sion of Florida under this bill.
z Mr.. BUTLER replied to the arguments
of Messrs. Farnsworth and Paine.
Mr., WASHBURNE, of Illinois, remark
ed that he would remand Florida to terri
torial conditions
Mr. BUTLER spoke at some length in
favor of the admission of Florida, and was
followed by Mr.. Hubbard, of New York,
ON the same side. af
: mir. BAKER remarked that the legisla-
tion involved some questions of law and
policy, and five minutes was short time
in which to say anything adequate to the
subject. He would now ask leave to print
some remarks. Granted. - u q - v7osrsf
Mr.. BINGHAM desired the action of the
House speedily on the bill, and would
therefore call the previous question, but
first asked his colleague (Spalding)
whether he desired to offer his amendment
now.

superseding the great variety of miserable
nostrums sold as Bitters. and the probable
ity that the sale of Bitters will soon be
confined to the Constitution. We hope it
will be SO, for they are every way worthy

TOBACCO AND THINGs.-The doctors say
the incessent use of tobacco and the con
sequent constant expectoration robs the
stomach of its necessary saliva, resulting
in indigestion, producing dyspepsia, con-
sumption and general arrangement OF
the system. This saliva is necessary to
health, and cannot be violently wrested
from the body with impunity. The wax
in the ear is for wise purpose; it is deadly
poison to insects and aninalcule, and this
little provision keeps the head and the or
gans of hearing tree and clear. Hair and
down grow in the nose to keep out dust.
The ten thousand different insects we re-
gard as nuisance are made to crawl over
our bodies and poster us into keeping them
cleanly in order that the pores of the skin
may be kept open and nature allowed free
channels by which to slough off impure
matter. Nothing was made in vain.
Even the Eenomous toad yet doth "a
Wear q priceless jewel in its head"
Every little thing was given us in the
creation for wise purpose, and we can
not destroy them without suffering. This
saliva is necessary for our health, and we
cannot. therefore, divert it from its proper
functions with impunity.

A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF SNAKES CAUGHT
BY A NEw YORK GIRL IN THE CoUNTRY.-In
August last, Prof. Agassiz sent gentleman to the
Androscoggn to collect specimens Of snakes,
lizards, insects, etc. The representative OF the
great naturalist was taken sick, and had to go
home before his mission was accomplished.
Sympsthizing with his keen disappointment a
young New York lady. who was spending the
summer down east, proposed to him to leave her
a jar Of alcohol, and she would fill il with her
favorite snakes. He did so, and che sent the pro-
fessor lot Of beautiful creeping things, among
which there are fortytwo different species of the
snake genus.
She says it is the easiest matter in the world to
take snake alive, and describes the process,
which is about as practicable as putting salt upon
. q birds tail. There's no telling what New York
girl can't do Forty-two snakes taken alive !
Strong minded women and weak fanged reptiles :
DIR. Holmes ought to write a new Elsie Yenner.
She says sometimes they were so beautiful that
che hadn't the heart to capture them. That once
she came upon group-a mother and her young
baking in the sun at noon.
AT the first alarm, the mother opened her
mouth, and all the young ones glided down her
throat. After she (the LADY, had concealed her
self and remained for while, ths snake mother
thinking there was no longer any danger, opened
her mouth and the family glided ont again. She
hadn't the heart TO interfere with this happy fam.
lily, presided over by snch maternal care.

TIE LUsUs NATURE OF THE ALASKA CoAsr.-
Abiding TO the fisheries on the coast of our ne Wy
acquired Russian possessions, Sitka correspon.
dent OF the Tribune, says:
must not omit to mention the existence and
peculiarities OF another fish-one not mentioned
In the "books"-wbich is found in great numbers
in the coast rivers, from the Mass to the Stickeen
IL is spoken of as the oolikon" by the Hudson
Bay Company, but is generally known as the
small fish" or a" candle fish" by coasters. Ii ap.
pears annually about the first week of May and
Mr.. Ainsley the pilot of the John L. Stephens,
says that on some days he has known
mouth of the Mass river on account Of the
dense mass Of these fish in the water. Sometimes
an adverse tide or heavy wind lodges tuns of them
upon the shore. The Indians know of their ar.
rival by the fight of the birds northward. They
seldom continue over fifteen days. and during this
time the natives from Fort Simpson and all the
adjacent regions hasten to the feast of fat
things" This fish is six to eight inches long, in
form resembles the smelt has q shining and al
most transparent appearance and Of all the hnny
tribes is the most fat. Its fat has not
the oily, rancid taste Of the other fish,
but has the sweet taste of fresh lard.
The Indians store great quantities OF it, and if
well cared for il remains sweet for months. When
they are dried the Indians often turn them to a
novel and practical sccount-burn them in place
OF candles. They give clear, brilliant light, and
are not liable to be blown out by the wind. Mr..
Manson, the superintendent at Fort Simpson, says
that the tail should be lighted instead Of the head
and that each fish will last about fifteen minutes.
In a dark night the men who took natives for
guides used to reckon mile of travel for every
five fish burned.
Another tISus nature Of the Alaska coast Is
the mammoth crab found in the waters of Cooks
Inlet and Prince Williams Sound. Were it not
well authenticated. one would hardly credit its
size. 1t measures full six feet from tip to tip Of
its claws. Capt. Lemanshefsky, of the Aexan-
dria, caught eight of them, and found that he
could put the bodies Of only three in q barrel.
The legs are about the size Of a mans wrist, and
are filed with palatabie meat. They are not nu.
merous. Having the structure of the common
crab, their size fits them for deeper and safe
home in the ocean.
