EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS PROBABLE.
Senator from the Pacific coast is au-
ihOrity for the statement that an extra SeS-
.;0n of Congress will be called within sixty
.I,ve. The purpose Of calling the extra
session is stated by the same gentleman to
ne the intention of the administration to
force issues on the Cuban business. This
report startles many, but its getting out is
merely believed TO be premature, not in
correct. 1t became known by private in
timations being given TO far West Con-
csressmen not to be in too great hurry to
90 home, they might be needed. They
50 far credit it as to defer, In many cases,
their departure and await events There
may be other reasons at the bottom of the
intention to call an extra session. The
Cuban business, however, is accepted as
TIC most plausible and probable reason

l.. can be authoritatively stated that the
President has been made aware since
Thursday that ii very formidable expedi-
ION is openly preparing in this country at

With the avowcd design Of proceeding to

expedition declare that the government

More of the extent and existence Of this
enterprise can he found out in New York
than here, because there are its material
and personnel concentrating. This fact,
united to the report, believed to be well
founded, that an extra session Of Congress
is to be called for the 4th Of July ensuing,
warrants the expectation OF the gravest
events in the history Of the country which
have occurred for years.

Insanity of Bishop Duggan. OF Chicago.
The Chicago Journal of the 18th inst,
says:
The many friends of Right Rev. Bishop
Duggan, of this Diocese, will be panied to
learn that strong fears are entertained that
the reverend gentleman is losing control
of bis mental faculties. Since his return
from Europe last fall his associates have
observed a change in him, which became
more marked whenever church matters
pertaining to his die, sse lin which there
have been some unpleasant occurrences
were brought to his attention. He has
become the victim Of the hallucination
that he has violated the laws, and that
officers are lying in wait to arrest him.
The medical gentlemen who have exam:n-
ed his case pronounce it necessary for him
to have change of scene or surroundings,
and his friends will, if possible, induce
him to travel for time, hoping that his
mind may be restored to its proper equi-
ibrium. Upon other matters rather than
those of the church the Bishop is as ra-
tiOnal as ever,

Soon after the opening Of the Court OF
Special Sessions, yesterday morning, a
lawyer appeared TO defend prisoner for
petty ttfense. Justice Bowling took a
sharp look at the lawyer, and after a while
inquired his name. Andrews" replied
the lawyer.
"Yes, l thought so. But you are 80
much altered with your whiskers shaved
off that hardly recognized you" Theu
raising his voice, Justice DoWling con-
tinued in very determined manner,
"Well, sir, you can't practice in this court.
l have told you so dozen times. Now,
clear out"
"But cir" put in Andrews, al am a
member of the bar"
al don't care whether you are OF not, |"
thundered the Judge. ~ say you can't
practice here, and that is eaough."
"Win your Honor then please remand
the prisoner until my partner can be sent
for to defend himY
al don't want your partner here. Isay
that will not allow you to practice In my
court. Now get"
The lawyer, amazed, hastily made his
exit
"Prisoner," continued Justice Bowling,
"seeing that you are your own counsel
the Court discharges you"

A young man had been sadly iptemper-
ate. He was man of great capacity,
fascination and power, but he had pas

strated with him, but in vain ; as often, in
turn, would he in vain urge his friend TO
take social glass On one occasion the
latter agreed to yield to him, and as they
walked up to the bar together, the bar
keeper said,-
Gentlemen, what will you havef"
"Winc. sir" was the reply.
The glasses were filed, and the two
friends stood ready to pledge each other
In renewed and eternal friendship, when
he paused and said to his intemperste
friend
"Now, If drink this glass of wine and
become drunkard, will you take the re-
sponsiblity9"
The drunkard looked at him with se-
verify and said,-
"Set down that glass"
1t was set down, aud the two walked
away without saying q word.

sequences Of the first glass Even in his
madness for liquor, he is not willing to
