The Senate committee on the District of
Columbia at their meeting on the 31st ultimo
agreed to report fayorably the bill recently
Passed by the House prohibiting gift enterprises
IN the District, but a. vet the Senate has taken
no action. 1t will dOubtles, be passed if it can
ever he reached, but cannot something be done
tObring it up speedily? The swindling operations
which 1t is intended to suppress are going on
daily, and the persons engaged in them are only
waiting for the Senate TO act upon the bill to
Put up their shutters and take their depar-
ture for fresh fields and pastures new. They
have already done large amount OF mischief
m our midst and have indirectly encouraged
Crime by virtually robbing the poor of their
seanty wages and leaving them to beg or to steal
the neceSSaTies of life We feel confident that
the President will not leave the bill unsigned
day after If has passed the Senate. Will not the
members of the Senate District committee use
their influence t. have the bill put upon its
passage at once?

The investigation of the school buildings OF
New York city closed on Tuesday last, and on
"Wednesday the results were laid, in a long and
careful document, before the beard of health,
by whose orders the task was performed. The
report states that "not one of the numerous
school edifces has adequate means of thorough
ventilation that s'it is the invariable and per-
nicous practice. whenever the class-rooms be-
come oyerheated, or the air becomes impure, to
open the windows from above, thus ALLOWING q
current of cold air to rush in upon the heads of
the children, producing catarrhal and bron
chial affections" 'the sink throws out offensive
odors;' "sewer-gases escape into the class
rooms" "the walls and ceilings of class-rooms
and halls are generally In a filthy condition"
and much more to the same effect. This gen.
eral indictment-there being no single excep-
TOMS rather a serious matter, and will prob
ably result in the withdrawal of large number
OF pupils from the schools until these objections
no longer exist.
1t is satisfactory to note that public attention
throughout the country is being directed to the
hygiene of the school-room.

IL now seems as if another session of Congress
was to pass away without any action looking to
the betterment of Pennsylvania avenue by the
removal of Riker's eObble stones and the substi-
tuition of wood IL would have been a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished had this reform
been accomplished before Inauguration day.
Ii would have added at least fifty per cent. to
ths appearance and value of the avenue pave
meht, but as II Is our visitors must gaze upon
the unsightly ridge, and wonder why it is al
lowed to remain to mar the beauty of the prin-
ciPal thoroughfare OF the capital of the country
We trust. however, that our citizens tor the sake
OF their self-respect will refrain from exposing
our weakness, and telling our friends from the
states how powerless We are to deal with this
nuisance. Tell them We love cobbles; that we
are sorry that the avenue is paved with wood.
eobbles are 30 much superior; tell them anything
but the humiliating truth.

~ a TALK ABOUT TONES.

The object Of tonic l. to increase the elasticity
and strength Of the muscular fibre and invigorate
the general system. As means of accomplishing
the digestive power of the stomach. These are GER
tainly important considerations; but to cure dyspep
STA, bilious affections chronic debility, intermittent
fever, and other complaints involving arrangements
Of the liver the bowels the nerves. and the secretive
organs generally, something more than a tonic
Is required. H0stetter's Stomach Bitters may be
safely pronounced the best and NEST wholesome in

critics which belong t. this remarkable vegetable
storatiye have much 10 do with the
wonderful results il produces as its tonic
virtues. For example, it has certain alter
alive qualities which literally change the
habit OF constitution, reestablshing the healthy
functions Of the body without causing any
undue evacuation by perspiration emitting or purg-
ing. Its entire effect is to put the whole machinery
OF life in perfect order, to purify all the fluids in
GLIDING the blood and the bile and not only ope

the traveller and the resident in an unhe althy region

disturbances which accrue from cold, damp inclem-

There is q curious legal complication in Bal
timOre- Ii viii be remembered that Mrs. Anne
In Wheat was murdered in that city some
months ago, and that her nephew, Jesse Upper
cue, is still in prison on the charge of killing
ser. From the report of the proceedings of the
Orphans court, as published in the Baltimore
papers, it appears that the cayeators to the will
OF the murdered woman demand trial by jury;
one of the issues upon which the demand is
based being the inquiry whether the sudden
death of Mrs. Wheat was caused BY the wilful
set of Jesse Cppercue, which is what the Grim
inal court is also to determine.

DOES NOT PROPOSE TO REsIsN.-Mr. Eras-
tus Brooks denies in the New York Express that
his brother, Mr.. James Brooks, proposes to re-
sign, and says:
" Mr.. Brooks has done nothing in or out of
Congress to call for his resignation. If he has
made any mistake whatever, il was the pardon
able one of sacrificing his own pecuniary inter
est in stock purchased and paid for by him, at
its value IN and out of market, when not in
Congress, and parted with when he became a
government director in the Union Pacific road,
instead of holding it, as he might have done
with perfect honor to himself and his position
as member of Congress, unless indeed, a pub
lie man is to strip himself OF all income beyond
his pay for service"

may not have the sunny humor Of Senator Nye,
but he is certainly able to express himself with
fluent vigor, as witness the following from his
speech, giving warning to his opponents to be-
ware of the wrath to come:
1.-The venal, licentiOus, cowardly, libellous,
sneaking, interviewing sheet which fattens on
ambitions of its own creation, and wakes fat
upon the indecencies which its vile Imagination
conjures up to defame the just, and which, for
sordid motives, panders to the depraved taste
of the vicious, is a sore upon the body politic
which, sooner or later, will have to be removed
