A Disreputable Congress.

Forty second Congress came to
its end in almost universal dis.
credit During the last session
it came out that ii number Of its
members in both Houses had been
engaged in corrupt transactions,
and that at least three Senator's
we're implicated in bribery in
procuring their elections. 1t
was due to the American people
that their Congress should FIRE
itself from all completely with
such men. But instead of pun
ishlng them to the utmost Of its
power, it scandalously put itself
toward as their apologist and
protector. The House passed
weak and imperative resolutions
of censnre upon two of its ten
eulprits, and let the others go un-
rebuked. Of the "Credit Niobi-
lier" Senator Patterson suffered
no further than to have a reso-
tuition of expulsion reported
against him to the Senate, which
fell at the adjournment without
action. Nothing was done by
the Senate to vindica ethe honor
of the body.
Besides these Senate Credit

If a Congressman cannot live
respectfully in Washington for
$4,000 a year then Washington
life must be more corrupt and ex-

Paris, or Loudon. The great ma

the members of the Forty-second

live on much less than $4,000 a

however extravagant fashionable

A ROMANCE OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Sarah J. Winemiller, a girl of about
seventeen summers, who was convicted
of and sent to the penitentiary for burn
ing small log-church in one of the
smaller counties of the State, having
been pardohed by Gov. Jacobs, was re-
leased today. The manner in which
this girl got into the penitentiary is pc
culiar. She was enamored of young
man who unfortunately was charged
with stealing horse and was put in
Jail to await a trial therefor. With a
confidence in the charge against her in
amorata and a devotion to him that
were remarkable, she proceeded to COM
NIT the act for which she was sent up
that she might be with him in the peni-
tentiary. But, alas! the man was ac-
quilted last fall when his trial came off,
and he has ever since, up to the time of
the pardon, been engaged in securing
his faithful though rash sweetheart's
release. The facts of this notable ro-
nance are set forth in the petition. The
happy result may be imagined. -

Horse ShOeimg.

An exchange gives the following on
the subject of shoeing horses:
How many horses, valuable horses in
many respects, are spoiled by having
defective fore feet! The general defect
is the fore feet. This makes the animal
tender forward, liable to fall when go
ing down hill, and consequently unsafe.
When the forward feet of a horse are
defective his usefulness on the road is
very much impaired; and in fact there
is no comfort or safety in using such a
horse.
What causes tender feet? The most
common cause is bad shoeing, with i'm
proper care of the animal. There are
smith in fifty knows how to shoe horse
properly. How frequently do boys and
apprentices, as soon as they can drive
nail, undertake to set shoes, without
any knowledge of the anatomy of the
horses foot, or any of the Unborn phil
OsOphy which teaches a man to look at
the reason of the thing. It is shame
and an outrage upon therights of horses
to have such "a state of things.
1t is a lamentable fact that not one
man in hundred knows when his horse
is we'll shOd. Commonly a man leads
his horse to blacksmith's shop, lets the
work be done, and then goes off with
his horse, satisfied, because he has shoes
On his feet.
There are two very common faults in
shoeing horses. One is, the shoes are
too short. How can a horse travel with
ease, unless his shoes are long enough
for him to set his whole feet down on
the shoes? A horse suffers as much
with short shoes as a man does with
boots of an insufficient length. How
can horse travel easily all day over
our rough roads, with shoes half an
inch too short? I do not know how
many times | have been panied at see
ing horses with short shoes on. Have
the shoe as long as the foot; the longer
it is, reasonably, the better support it
will give.
The second faults, shoes are made
cOncace, instead of cORUer. When horse
sets down his foot, if it can, it will
spread little. This arrangement was
made to save the animal from pounding
solid foot on the ground. The foot of
a horse has layers of springs, as it were,
in it, and the shoes should be made ac-
cOrdingly.' If the heel of the horses
shoe dishes in, how can the horses heel
spread when he puts his foot down? It
cannot; but it is bound tighter, so that
it cramps the foot, and after while it
results in pinched feet.
A forward foot shoe should be made
with the heel of it slightly convex, just
enough convex to let the heel spread
naturally when the horse puts his foot
| down.

A lovely but unfortunate woman who
for reasons didn't reside with her 1rus-
band, in Hartford, Conn.,, recently sent
him little souvenir to s0othe his soli-
tude. This token of affection is thus
described: "The box was divided by a
partition in the center, and contained
three pounds Of gunpOwder. The under
side of the cover was spread with sand
paper, and bearing against it were
matches, so arranged that as the cover
should slide it would pull the matches
up with force and cause them to ignite" !"
This aimable casket was suspected at
once, and the matron's little plan to be-
come q widow frustrated.

"AWfMlIy Sacred"
The LATEST CHATTANOOGA SENsA-
TION, WHICH BEATS THE DAVENPORT
BROTHERS.
IChattannnca Times. o5.l

Our fellow citizen, Mr.. James L.
Whitesides,- developed a new power
yesterday which promises to rival the
marvellous performance of the celebra-
ted Davenport Brothers. Those of our
citizens who attended their seance here
will remember how securely their hands
were tied with ropes behind their backs,
and how, in the twinkliug of an eye,
they were released by some unseen
power from their bonds. Mr.. White
sides has discovered that he possesses a
like power.
Yesterday two of our well-known cit
iZens called at the room of Mr.. White
sides. He consented to have his hands
fastened behind his back, which was
done in a very secure manner, six firm
knots being made upon the bandage. A
small bell attached to a string was hung
on hook in q small clothes closet Mr..
Whitesides backed into the closet, it
being just wide enough to hold him
standing upright. In a few seconds the
bell began to ring as if moved up and
down, as usual in ringing a tea bell.
The door of the closet was jerked open,
the bell ceased, the clapper becoming
perfectly still, and Mr.. Whitesides stand
ing bolt upwright, bound fast. The bell
was entirely out of his reach.
The door was closed again, and Billy
Moore was earnestly requested to unite
w, but no response. After q minute
Mr., W. became frightened and called to
his little son, Claude, to ask Billy to
unite him. Scarcely had the request es-
capped Claude's lips when the bell jing-
led and the door pushed open, and there
stood Whitesides unbound, the bandage
lying on the floor and he nearly fright
ened out of his wits.
These gentlemen assure us that the
effect On Mr.. w. was terrible, causing
every muscle to Quiver. His rapid
breathing showed that there was no
sleight-Of-hand. The fact was, he was
awfully scared.

IRONING SHIRT FRONFs. - In O first
class laundry starch is made in the usu-
al manner; to pail of starch a whole
sperm candle is used. When the linen
is dry, it is dipped in the cold starch
and ironed in the ordinary way then it
is dampened with wet cloth and the
polish Iron passed over it. This is an
ordinary smoothing iron, gound off SO
that the edges are all rounding. To this
last manipulation the linen is indebted
for the peculiar laundry gloss which all
admire so much, but which many house
keepers have vainly striven to leave
upon the wristbands and bosoma OF
their husbands shirts. -
