| opinion that no quorum is present, and he
can not entertain an appeal now. You can
entertain the decision of this appeal until a
quorum is present. then you can appeal
from the decision of the Chair.
Mr.. WOrrall-I wish to ask the Speaker
if the members can now, by unanimous con-
| sent, agree to take up this question and
argue it, without we get this quorum! l
should like nothing better than to argue on
this question now.
The Speaker wish to remind the
House that there is nothing before the
House.
Another member here came in, which
made the desired quorum.
Mr.. Brown called up his bill in reference
to paying last years vouchers.
Mr.. Stamps moved that it be indefinitely
postponed.
MIR. Hempstead-I desire to say a few
words in reference to the question
Mr.. Stamps-I rise to a point of order
The question of postponement is not before
the House.
The Speaker recognized Mr.. Hampstead
as entitled to the floor, and he continued.
Mr.. Speaker, we all know that many
warrants were passed last year that should
not be paid and great number that should
be paid. Some of them were passed legally
and some were not. A few have been paid,
aud large number the State still owes for,
some that they legally owe. There were
warrants passed last session that the State
las no right to pay. l do not propose, MIR.
Speaker, that the State shall pay spurious
warrants, but l want this matter lnvestl-
gated. / want those persons who are en-
titled to the pas to have it, and those that
we legally owe we must pay l do not
think any honest member of this House
wants them repudiated.
Mr.. Speaker, this is a matter of money; a
financial matter is concerned. l want this
committee to investigate this thing and re-
port back to the House. Their action will
not be final. The House. on receiving
their report, can decide whether or not
they are right. Why not let this commit
made in it. The committee can make
nothing. 1t is but a justifable act, andi 1

A "Knife and Fork Club.o

The London Daily News says The
other day Knife and Fork Club, claim,
ing to mission for the cultivation OF
cookery among the middle and the
humber elias es, had an opening banquet
at Pail Mall restaurant. The Presi-
dent of the society, on the principle OF
Mrs. Crupp, in " David Copperfeld,"
who gave all other things to the contec-
toner. in order to serve up the cheese
and celery as she could wish to see it
done, devoted his mind solely to the
preparation of snipe. The bird, how
ever, does not seem to have given uni,
versal satisfaction. The epicureans have
stated their programme to be far more
general in its scope than might be i'm
piled from the character of their feast.
They wish to constitute themselves, in
fact, an Academy OF Taste in different
sense from that which Mr.. Arnold pro-
.jected for the improvement of litera-
ture in England. They propose to COM
bne practice with theory. People are
to be invited to lectures in the kitchen,
and the professor will ladle out on the
spot to them specimen OF bis craft
These lectures are pretty sure to be
popular If no money is demanded at the
doors. More than this, the artist of the
stew pan is to "suit the acton to tine
word, and cook while he talks of cook

Ingenuity Frustrated.

1t is scarcely possible to repress some
thing like sympathy for a man who
makes either an ingenious or desper.
ate attempt to escape from prison, and
Is baked just as success seems to be as
sured. A recent case at the peniten
tlary at Jacksonville, Ind, is in point.
The contractors there pack their spo<es
in a box about six feet long by two feet
square. for removal from the prison to
the warehouse. A fellow who was serv-
ing term of ten years for burglary re-
moved a sufficient number of spokes
from one of the boxes, crawled in, and
got himself boxed up. Thus he was
transported without being subjected to
serious discomfort. But when arrived
at the warehouse, the box was tumbled
out of the wagon, and its inhabitant
found himself standing on his head I!
Ike was obliged to SCI cam for help, and
when the frightened bystanders were at
last persuaded to open the box and
drag him out, he was, of course, taken
back to the prison.

A Terrible TUSSIe,

pose of having trour lesome molar eX-

operating chair and took her position.
The location was in close proximity to
the window, though the victims pedal

exactly which tooth troubled her, and
the doctor was able to atfiX a pair OF
forceps firmly on account of the cavern
Gus dimensions of the mouth, he at once
took q strong pull and a pull altogether.
The fir yank did not produce any
visible eff ct except causing the patient
to grasp the arms and settle more firmly

The Campbell Murder Case.

'Phehe Campbell is the rather pretty
name of a woman who has just been
sentenced to be hung for brutal muir
der committed in the town of Missouri,
Ontario. On the morning of the
18th of July ult., the body of farmer
named George Campbell was found lying

death if she gave the alarm before day
break, they took their departure. This
highly probable story did not save her
from arrest, and on the following day
she revised her account, and stated that
her lover named Coyle, committed the
crime. On the next day, she retracted
this statement, and accused her cousin,
a man named McWain. Nova n was
actually tried, but was promptly acquit-

and though the evidence was purely
circumstantial, she was found guilty,

The French Ex.Prince Imperial.

The Prince Imperial's time is actively
employed. Up at six o'clock in the
morning, he is dressed and down stairs
at seven, and sets himself to study with
his young friend Conneau and NJ. FIJI

The Use of Tobacco.

A very lively discussion on the use of
tob acco occurred on Saturday at the
meeting of the New York Methodist
Conference, on resolution recommend
/ ing entire abstinence from the use of
the weed. The venerable DR.. Richard
son made spirited defense. He said
that after arriving at manhood he was
attacked by distemper which all
efforts of physicians failed to relieve,
but which was cured by smoking. On
his subsequently, attempting to abandon
the practice, recurrence Of the disea,e
took place, which led him to resume the
habit. He afterward began the practice
OF chewing tobacco, using it in clearly
manner, without expectorating, and he
had lived the age of SO in excellent
health. He felt to bless tobacco every
morning of his life. One member of
the Conference testified that the use of
tobacco had aided to prevent a loosen
ing of his teeth, and that the temporary
REIMBURSEMENT of the practice had been
attended with disastrous results. An
other member recounted the benefits
his wife had derived from the occasional
use of a cigar, which was the only man
ner in which she could obtain relief
from asthma. Despite these arguments,
however, the resolution was passed.

The Latter Day Saints.

A statement is circulating to the
effect that Joseph Smith, Jr., the son
of the Mormon Prophet died recently
at Plano, Ill. This is by no means the
case. The three Smith brothers,
Joseph, Alexander, and David Hyrum,-
sons Of the original founder of the Nor
mon Church, are still living and con
Quoting the temporal affairs of the Or
ganizaton. Joseph, the eldest, is the
actual head of the Church of the Latter
Day Saints, and is man of more than
average ability He is thoroughly sin
cere in his belief. David Hyrum, the
youngest, was born few months after
his fathers violent death, and is known
as " the anointed' among the Saints.
He is very well educated, and unites in
his person the painter, the poet, and the
musical composer. His birth, genial
qualities, uprightness, and accompli h
ments make him an object almost of
worship among the 10000 Josephite

A.d.aIn.

The various mercantile agencies are
obliged to employ men in the large
cities to look up and report business
changes. 1t is customary to divide this
labor, one man being authority on the
shoe trade, while another knows all
about dry goods. One genius named
June represents Bladstreet's Agency in
New York, and was lately sent to find
if any thing was the matter with a GER
tain Beekman street firm, paper dealers.
As is usual in such cases, he sought an
established house in the same line to
commence inquiries and, as it Glanced,
found only the senior partner in the
office, an old man of nearly four-scoie
years, who seemed to know all about
the firm in question, and began telling
of their circumstances in the year 1877,
all June could do to bring him back to
the present time proving entirely inef-
fectu j. Finally the old man seemed
electrified with an idea. My partner"
said he, "has known them longer than

ment door he called, in Il cracked voice ::
