" Domestic Life in the Orient.

In this lecture, the listener is taken
to those Oriental lHnds over which his
tory, poetry, and song have thrown
their brightest charms. He brcathcs
pcrfumed air, lounges in goIden'domed
kiosks upon divans Of richest cloth Of
Damascus, woven with silver threads,
and wrought with finest gold The
tairest daughters Of Circassia sat at his
feet and sing their sweetest songs. He
sips his coffee from the tinest cups,
smokes the bubbling nanghcli: listens
to the bubbling Of Of fountains, the tink-
ling of silver bells, and the song Of the
bulbul, as he walks through groves Of
cocoanut and palm, oranges and pome-
granates, and beholds in city and coun
try the barbaric spIendors OF the East.
But there is another side to the pie
turc. The listener is taken in to the
homes Of the poor, to see their daily
life lie sees the single room-house'
and stable in one occupied by men,
women, children, goats, donkcys, cats
and dogs The daily life Of the women
is portrayed the work Of the women
is portrayed the work Of the wife,

Washington correspondents say there
has been a very decided change Of opin-
ion by congressman since the last SEES
sion on the questions of Il return to spc-
Gle payments and general amnesty. and
that it is not unlikely measures will be
taken this winter to ensure resumption
during the next year and that Il gen
eral amnesty bill will be passed. Gen
eral amnesty is all that is needed now
to complete the work of reconstruction
and take the subject entirely out Of pol
itics and many of the best men IN
Congress are beginning to see that it
would not he prudent to 90 into the
next presidential campaign without be
ing able to offer to the country the fact
of a resumption of specie payments as
the browning good work Of the repub-
lican party. The bill of Senator SUM
ner, offered Monday, has for one object
the contraction Of the currency,-by
wearing it out, while providing that no
more can be printed,-So that specie
payments will gradually be brought
about though it also has other impor-
tant provisions.
The clothing house of Philip Wads
worth e. Co. at Chicago has suspend
ed with liabilities of $5OO,OO0, and as
sets for the same amount.
A colored man at Newark, New Jer-
sey, has been arrested for coveting a
neighbours bologna sausage, and the
damning evidence was found in his coat
tail pocket. He said the sausage must
have stuck to him when he passed the
butcher shop. Thus our confidence in
bologna is shaken.
The young man who confessed to
numbering Mr.. Nathan is not having so
much fun of it as he had anticipated.
He is in Jail in Dedham, Mass, as a
vagrant, and his father has written to
the authorities to keep him as long as
possible, and give his parents rest.
President Grant is very bitter against
Senator Schurz because the latter
adopted u policy that lost Missouri to
the Republicans for couple Of years.
Well, Grant himself has acted so as to
lose dozen States to the Radicals for
ever.
DR.. Flagg will be at the Eagle Hotel,
Woodstock, Dec. 23d and oath.
Rev. DR.. Clement preached at the
Congregational Church, Woodstock,

Proctorsville is to have a Catholic

measures and advocated a policy of concilia-
tion on the part of the government. Senators
Thayer, Edmunds and others spoke on the
Georgia bill until five O'Clock. when the Sen
ate took rece SIS until 7:30 Pm.
In the House, Mr.. Stevenson called up
the contested election case from the first dis
trict of Louisiana, the majority report being
that j Ii. Sypher is entitled TO the seat.
Mr.. Kerr hoped the previous question would
not be seconded. He wanted a reasonable
time to present the case. The previous
question was seconded by "a yeas to 55 nays.
Mr.. Eldridge moved that the House ad-
journ, remarking that if 20 900 majority was
overruled under the previous question, popu-
lar elections might as well be dispensed
with.
As there were indications on the democrat
ic side of an intention to fili5uster, and as
Mr.. Kerr stated that they would be satisfied
with two hours, Mr.. Stevenson withdrew the
demand for the previous question, and pro-
ceeded to state the case in behalf of Sypher
Mr.. Kerr addressed the House in Opposl-
ton to the report of the committee.
Mr.. Stevenson closed the argument, when,
at quarter before 5, without disposing of the
case, the House took a recess till 7.3O, the
evening session to be for consideration OF the
tariff bill
