Tho Drawing OF seats I'm
ConUrersss.

Washhstun disprich to the Chicago Tsitune.
The house was in no mood for busi. |
ness % day. tl6th, and practically
gave itself up to n f,ur heurs' folic. |
mostly ON the question of drawing
seats. The choice made last summer
was not satisfactory, OF course, To
those who got poor seats; but Ii WAS
thought that no new deal would be
made at thn present session, for ~
was bciifted tire satisfied men were
the strongest. Mr.. Koss, Of Ill.
however, deemed IL worth while To
try, ahd early in the day pres ented n
resolution for new drawing. On
the first vote it was defeated by fiye
majority; but after u good deal of |
a'iibustering, IL WAS carried by TWEEN,
~ majority, hut not until the yeas
and nays on the matter had bvsn
called no less thsn six times before
reaching u cot oLclus.on. There WAS
much fun and hilarity during the en-.
tire proceedings.
Wben the drawing began, which
took place In the usual manner, Mr. |
BrooTail, Of Illinois, WAS tile first
name taken out of tile box; Sypher,
of LOUISIANA, wax the uext nanlo
cal!e,i, aud ho WAS modest enough To-
take Thad. Stevens old seat--tiio |
best oile In the chamber. The south-
ern nembers were nearly all among
those drawn early, and consequently
most Of them secured very eligible
seats.
After the drawing had proceeded |
Tor about five minutes, a motion WAY
made togive Ex-Governor Thomas,
of Maryland. his old seat. There
was nt first some otjtction, but tho
melton finally prevailed. A motion
to give Il. B Washburne, father of |
the house, and Gen. sschenck, chair. |
man Of the committee on ways aud
means, their old seats, was lost.
Washburne finally got his, however,
fof u was drawn by the Massachusetts,
meinher OF the same name, and then
given mp to him. MIR. Schencii was
one OF the last drawn, and got very
poor seat.
Butler created great laugh by go-
Ing over OH 10 tile Democratic side ar |
tue house, and taking John Norris
scy's old seat, which IN one OF tho
most eligible on that side OF tho
chamber. Jsnckcs. BeampD. Farns-
worth, and two or three other repub.
licans, took seats in the same neigk-
borhood.
The old group of great men about
the middle of the republican side.
consisting OF Schenck, Wash burne,
Butler, Wilton, Garfield, Boutwell,.
Logan, Allison, Paine. etc, IL all
broken up, and scattered In various
parts OF tie chamber
Ross, who mannuversi for tho
Rfw deal, was the next to the last
man dsuwa, and his new seat was q
great deal worse than his old ono.
wbercat he was laughed at most up
roarousiy.
Banks, Logan, Washburnc of Wis.
c"ns'n, and several other prominent
men, were absent. and will have To
take back seats where they can tind

gravely proposed to construct artii. cial

mounted by tall masts with ccnsp;cuors
light and colors, furnished with provis-
ions, telegraph communicating with the
land, post Offices, tool houses, water
tanks, coal shed and materials for rcfit-
ting. SO that vessels in stress of weather
with short supplies, damaged. detained
or otherwise Eaf1ied on their VOYAGES,
may find houses OF! call at regular III
telvals upon their vicSsitous roads =
1t is urged in its tchalf that. il it could
be made success, We should hear less
Of missing ships,' OF underwriters

turers on RATS, of lonely boats founder.
Ing remote from human help, of acct
deuts incapable of repair, of expenses
incurred and time wasted by putting
into out of>the- way por's for food and

aud drifts and calns, Of those countless
Incidents of mischefand danger which
best the mariners existence. The

bic to establish these iron or wooden

great lines Of commercial intercourse.
1t would be ediiyins to know the d-
nensions Of the chains, cables and an,

There is no purer feeling kiudled
upon the alter Of human affections.
than slsterss pure uucontaminated
love for her brother. 1t is unlike all
other affections; so disconnected from
selfish sensuality; So feminine in its
development; SO dignifcd, and vet.
with all, so fond, so devoted. Nothing
can alter it, nothing can suppress it
The world may revolve, and, its revo-
luton effect changes in the fortunes.
IN the character and disposition of the
brother, yet, if he wants, whose hand
will SO readily stretch out as that OF
his sister; and if his character is mali
gned, whose voice will so readily swell
in its advocacy. Next to mothers
unquenchable love sisters is pre-
eminent. 1t rests so exclusively on
the ties of consanguinity for its susten,
ance it is SO wholly divested of pas
sion, ard springs from such deep re
cess In the human bosom, that when a
sister once fondy and deeply regards
her brother. that affection is blended
with her existence, and the lamp that
nourishes it expires ouly with that ex-
istence. In all tic annals of crime it
Is considered something anomalous to
tind the hand of Il sister raised in an
ger against her brother, or her heart
nurturing the seeds Of hatred, envy or
revenge, in regard to that brother. Ia
all the affections Of woman there is Il
devotedness aud a depth which cannot
be properly appreciated by man. Iu
those regards where the passions are
not at ali necessary in Increasing the
strength Of the affections, more sincere
truth and pure feeling may be expected,
than in such as are dependant upon
each other for their duration as well as
their felicities. A sisters love, in this
respect, is peculiarly resnarkable.-
