Special NOTICES.

M" WATERPROOF SYSTEMS. Thick
boots and flannels are necessary AT this season,
but the human frame requires something more
than these to render it waterproof. The inner
man, as we'll rs the outer surface of the body,
must be protected. The raw, moist, chilly
winds which prevail ut this season, transpierce
the warmest clothing and are apt to effect the
health unfnvorably, both through the pores and
the respiratory organs. The surest way to avert
the evil is to strengthen the internal machine,
and thus enable it to repel the devitalizing lnt-
ence of unwholesomc weather. Enrlcn the

the bowels invigorate the stomach, tone the llv-
err, and brace the nerves with Hostettcr's StoEl-
ach Bitters, and no condition of the atmosphere,
however Indictment, no variation of the barome-
ter or thermometer, however sudden, will have
power to disorder the system thus fortified in
advance and put in perfect working order
Damp and cold, acting upon o sensitive or fee
BILE organization, may produce consumption,

is therefore Obvious Persons in delicate health,

moved.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-Senate-It is ap-
pretended that the House appropriation
for the award of the Southern claims com
mission will fail In the Senate for want of
time.
Among the amendments to the tariff was
one providing for the restoration of ten per
cent on all products east of the Cape of
Good Hope, when imported from the coun-
tries producing them. The object of this
amendment is to encourage direct ship
ment.
The House resolution to adjourn June 3
was adopted.
Debate on the amendments to the tariff
bill has been limited to five minutes, but
upon the whole bill the usual privileges
viii be allowed, when a long political de-
bate is apprehended, and the session will
probably be prolonged.
HoatSe.-Mr. Poland moved to suspend
the rules and pass the Senate bill extending
the Ku-Klux bill till the end of the next
regular session of Congress. The motion
was reiected-yeas "a, nays 108. Some
"
Democrats against the BILL Mr.. Poland,
representing the the joint Ku-Klux com
mittee, stated that if majority had voted
for his motion, which required two-thirds
vote, he would have reported, as he had q
right to do at any time, the House bill iden-
teal with the Senate bill, and which would
require only a simple majority to pass
it. but as the vote just taken disclosed a
majority against the bill, he should not re-
port the House bill on the same subject un-
less he was further instructed by the com
mittee to do so. Twenty-three Republicans
voted against the bill, including Messrs.
Morphis, Sypher, Whitley and Sheldon.
Mr.. Maynard moved to suspend the rules
and pass the Senate supplementary civil
rights bill. This motion was also rejected
by l13 yeas, nays 83-less than thirds
in the affirmative. This was a strict party
vote.
A bill passed authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to refund the duty paid on
tea and coffee in bond on the first of July.
The bill extending the authority of the
President regarding the suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus was defeated by "a
to 1873.
Upon motion of Judge Harris. the politi-
cal disabilities of Alexander r. Boteler, of
West Virginia, and John Young Brown, of
Kentucky, were removed by vote of 85 to

Judge Harris, of Virginia, addressed the
Senate committee in favor of the House ap-

The Italian Opera TROUPE.

Owing to the sudden indisposition of
Signor Reina, the barytone of the Italian
Opera troupe, there was no performance
last evening by this company, much to the
regret of the audience, who had assembled
to hear 'n Trovatore." We were disap-
pointed, as we had looked forward
with pleasure to hearing Nine Corani az
Leonora. The performances of this really
magnificent artist have filed our musical
people with admiration and delight, and
any accident which deprives them of an op.
portunity of listening to her is something
to be regretted.
We are told that there will be a grand
matinee performance on Saturday noon,
when I" II Trovatore' will be produced.
This win be their last appearance in New
Orleans, and we advise every lover of
artistic mnsie by all means to hear Nine.
