agreed to.
Mr.. Sherman moved the Senate to request
the House to return to the Senate the reso-
luton providing for final adjournment May

init of an adjournment then
Mr.. Trumbull objected to the motion and

Mr.. Stevenson objected to any further dis

Mr.. Stewart raised point of order on the
amendment reported by the committee on

that 1t was not germane to the bill.
The effect of the repeal is to allow the
Secretary OF the Treasury to retain the

Gus Pacific railroads on account of the trans
Inrtaton of freight and mails and to apply
the same to the payment of interest Gu bonds
of said railroad guaranteed by the govern

little past noon yesterday, fire was dis
covered in the north chamber of the two story
frame house. Water st. at the head of ''Rines'
Ill.," owned by Robert Doyle. 1t is supposed
the fire caught from defect in CHIN
ney, and as the house was old and dry as tind-
er, it soon burst out in lively fame on the
roof. good alarm was given-the best we
have heard in the city for years, the bells
striking almost simultaneously-an the fire.
men were "on their taps, not many minutes
intervening before the two hand engines, At
lantic and Pacific, had good streams on the
building, drawing their water from the reser-
yor in the square at the junction of Green
and Grove streets. 1t was very fortunate
that the reservoir lad a few days previously
been filled with water to its utmost capacity.
The steamer was placed by the riverside in
rear ofthe railroad shop, and soon flooded the
house. All the fremen worked with will
and determination, and had the satisfaction of
seeing the fire confined to the house. which
was triumph in itself, in view of the inham-
mable and valuable property in its close Vi
cinty. The steamer "Fire-Fly, from the
L. S. arsenal, came to the rescue, kindly
volunteering their services, but were not
needed. The Pacifcs have the honor Of get
ting the first water on the fire. The house
was occupied by three families, Mr.. Doyle,
John Heath and John Brown. They all sue
ceeded in saving their furniture. The lower
part of the house was saved, but in dam
aged condition. Insured for $500, which
will cover the loss and leave a margin of
$780, When the alarm was first given it was
reported that the railroad wood shop was on
fire. and large crowd was attracted to the
scene. The shop was near by the fire, and
the roof was kept well wet down by means Of
hose connecting with the pump that forced
water from the river.

MR.. sTHDMAN's GETTYSBURG


Atthe fourth annual reunion of the Army
of the Potomac, held in Cleveland on the 7tb
inst, a stirring poem entitled "Gettysburg'
was delivered by Mr.. Edmund c. Stedman, OF
of New York City. The close OF the great
fight is Auely described in the following lines:
The guns are still; the end is nigh; we grasp
our arms anew;
o, nov lei every heart be staunch and every
aim be truel
For lookl from yonder wood that skirts the
valleys further marge,
The flower of all the Southern host move to
the final charge.
By heavenl it is a fearful sight to see their
double rank
Come with hundred battle-Rags-a mile
from flank to Aankl
Tramping the grain to earth, they come, ten
thousand men abreast;
Their standards wave-their hearts are brave
they hasten not, nor rest,
But close the gaps our cannons make, and on
ward press and higher;
And, yelling at our very front, again pour II
their fire!
Now burst our sheeted ightnings forth, now
all our wrath has vent!
They die, they wither; through and through
their wavering lines are rent.
But these are gallant desperate men, of oul
own race and land,
Who charge anew, and welcome death, and
fight Us hand to hand:
Vain, vain, give way, as well We msy-the
crimson die is castl
Their bravest leaders bite the dust, theiI
strength is failing fast;
They yield, they turn, they fly the field; We
smite them as they run.
Their arms, their colOrs are our spoil; the fu.
riOus fight is donel
Across the plain we follow far and backward
push the fray;
Cheerl eheerl the grand old Army at last hal
won the dayl
Hurrahl the day has won the cause; no gray
clad host henceforth
Shall come with fire and sword to tread tn,
highways OF the Northl
Twas such food as when you see, along tn,
Atlantic shore,
The great Spring-tide roll grandly in witt
swelling surge and roar
It seems no wall can stay its leap or balk it
| wild desire
Beyond that bound that Heaven hath fixed t.
higher mount, and higher
But now, when whitest hits its crest, mos
loud its pillows call,
Touched by the Power that led them on, the,
Iall, and fall, and fall,-
Even thus, unstayed upon his course, to Get
tysburg the foe
His legiOns led, and fought, and fed, an,

of six started for Bear Gap. and a.
mid day they returned with two pris.
oners, whom they brought face to
face with Mrs. Wilder. She knew
them in a moment, and they sank
down upon the ground, half dead
with remOrse and terror, as they
recognized her.
''Yes, yesr' she exclaimed, wildly,
Il know you, Sears-Mallity-you
killed my husband! You know it!
May you meet with the mercy he re-
ceived at your foul handsr'
Her voice was raised almost to a
scream, and she waved her right
hand in an excited way, as if invok-
ing the vengtnce of Heaven.
Yes, the vision from the Plains
the ghost of the murdered man that
had come from the mountains, and
carried the dreaming widow back to
the Platte riYer-that had reused her
from her slumber with a shrek that
startled the marauders, while in the
act of cutting their way into the tent,
causing them to drop the tell tale
knife-was the means of hunting
down the camp robbers, and their
days were numbered.
A search of their quarters at Bear
Gap had disclosed a considerable
amount of gold dust, which they had
evidently stolen, for they had never
been known to dig much; but worse
than all, snugly rolled up and packed
at the bottom of a sack that was fl
led with other things, were two com
plete Indian outfts-feathers, belts,
wigs of long, black hair, and ma
terials for staining the face. Dis
guised as Indians, the two villains,
Sears and Mallity the murderers of
Abraham Wilder, had boen robbing
the various camps in that vicinity for
months.
Before sunset that evening they
confessed all-ineluding the murder
of Wilder-and the gathering shad-
ows of night frowned on two silent
figures that were dangling hideous-
ly from the boughs of tall tree.
Mrs. Wilder was avenged!
But she spoke with a prophetic
tongue when she said her loved com
panion had called her. Her health
failed rapidly from that night, and
within two months she left her chill
dren there in the mountains and went
over the dark river to meet hin
with whom she had parted on the
banks of the Platte.

What We are Coming To-A Gigan.
tic Air Gun Two Thousand AfiIoa
Long-The Scheme Of the Age.
Of all the untOpian schemes ever
submitted to the consideration Of an
indulgent Senate, says the New
York World, perhaps the most auds-
cious in that composed in a bill in
troduced OF the 18th Of March by
Mr.. Wilson "tO authorize the con
struction Of a pneumatic tube road
between the cities of New York and
New Orleans" The corporators in
this magnificent scheme are as fol-
lows: Albert Brisbane, Thomas J.
Dursnt William Mullins, James C.
Sayery, John F. briggs, James NJ.
Ashley, Calvin Cone, H. NJ. Barnard
and John B. Alley. The capital
stock is moderately fixed at lone
million shares of 500 each, or $780,
100000 in all" and lest this should
not prove pneumatically adequate to
the wants of the company, they are
authorized Sat any time, by q two
thirds vote or approval Of the stock
holders" to increase the stock ad
libitum, or to Issue any amount OF
bonds at seven per cent convertible
into stock at pleasure. Apart from
the glory attending such stipend
Gus overtaking, the above named
gentlemen have, on previous occa-
sions, rendered themselves cOnspi-
cious by being identified in pursuits
which, if not so brilliant in coneep-
ton as the present one, were quita
as chimercial. At a former per-
iod of his life, Mr.. Albert Brisbane
turned his inventive faculty to pneu.
matte science, and ultimately evolY.
ed a plan for propelling letters and
small parcels with almost lightning
velocity through hollow spheres,
It must not be imagined, however,
that the Aforesaid named gentleman
was the discoverer of elastic fluids,
for the idea is quite a hundred years
old and was first started by q
Frenchman named Papin. Mr.. Bris
bane obtained a patent for his
scheme in 1859. None of the var
ious notifications of the invention
hitherto applied have been extend
ed beyond the limits of single city,
nor have they been found so impoF-
tant by the combination of quick
transit with the economy of work
ing, as to lead to any general adop-
tion Of them. The principle on
which they are operated is very sim
pie, and depends upon the action Of
air pressure to drive solid piston
(which in most cases is the car
riage) through Vacuum. e., an
air exhausted tube. In 1861 the
first pneumatic dispatch was carried
into effect in London by the postal
authorities, who established a tube
from the chief Office to Euston
square TERMINUS, a distance of about
two miles. The system met With
the appreciation Of the authorities,
and is still in use. Similar contri-
Vanees have been Wo4king in Paris
and Berlin. In the light of these
facts the reader may form some faint
conception of the boldness Of the
grand scheme Of a National Paeu-
matte Tube Company" to build
tube road, sin combination with hol-
low spheres" all the.Way from New
York to New Orleans, or over two
thousand miles, while the largest
tube road now existing is less than
two miles.

A correspondent writes to the
Philadelphia Ledger that the use Of
earboie acid as q disinfectant and
curative agent in smallpox and
other contagious diseases should be
universally known. DR.. Burgess, of
San Francisco, says, in. the Boston
Journal Of Chemistry, ain the late
fearful epidemic of smallpox / have
tested the disinfeetant and prophy-
letic power of carbolic acid in a way
that leaves no doubt in nv mind Of
its superior merit. Indeed, during
the latter part of the course of the
epidemic, I trusted to it exclusively.
In thirty-six Instances of its ex-
elusive use, the disease spread in
hut one, and that was in a family of
very filthy habits, where cleanliness
and proper nursing were unsttain-
able"
Carbolic acid in fluid form is s
cheap article. To disinfect- an
apartment two or three teaspoonfuls
may be put in a small bucket OF wa
ter, and scattered about with q Rhisk
broom. Or the same, or even small
er quantity, may be placed in dish
and mixed with sand. Or even
smaller quantity, may be placed in q
dish and mixed with sand. The
evaporation from this viii disinfect
the air. If the air should become
too strongly charged. the evapora-
ton may be checked by covering the
dish more or less, as required. This
atmosphere, containing czrbolic acid,
is healthy, and soon becomes quite
agreeable, especially when assoeiat-
ed with its power as s destroyer of
infection.
The bed clothes, blankets. : etc.
and clothes worn by persons having
the disease, or coming In contact
with such, may be washed with soap
now manufsctured containing car.
boIie acid. Or eomon soap may be
used, with two or thres teaspoon.
fals of earbolic acid added to the
suds. Thus may complete diainteo-
tion be produced in bed clothes or
body clothes of patients subjected to
SMALLPOX or any other infectious
disease.
