WASHINGTON.
ErpuIsion on. OF the auestion.

WASHINGTON, February 26. No
members of the House believe that the
resolution Of the Poland Committee,
recommending the expulsion Of Ames
and Brooks, cannot secure even ma
1 jority of the House, much less the two
| third vote required. Some of the men,
bers of both political parties express the
/ opinion that instead Of the general resO-
luton q censUre will be passed affecting
all members of the House who were
concerned in the Credit Mobilier opera
tions. At least twenty gentlemen are
prepared to speak on the subject.
Everybody anticipates exciting pro-
ceedings on Tuesday.
Preparations for the inaugural.
WASHINGTON, February 23.-Prepar-
ations are being made for the inaugura-
ton ceremonies Of the different military
and civil organizations, which will form
parade only equaled at the time that
Grant and Shermanis armies were re-
viewed here at the close Of the war.
The inauguration ball will be the grand
est ever given in this country. The
President, Vice President, Cabinet Min
listers, Senators, Representatives, For
eign Ministers and distinguished civil
ians from all parts Of the Union will be
in attendance on the fifth Of March.
The President, Secretary Of War, and
Secretary Of Navy will review the West
Point and Naval cadets. A portion of
Pennsylvania avenue will be assigned
them for their parade and maneuvers.
As numerous volunteer organizations
viii te in attendance, it is probable that
several Of the broad avenues viii be oc-
cupied by them in their competition
drill. This will afford good opportu-
nity to compare the West Point
school with the volunteer system.
PostOGIee Appropriations
The postoffice appropriation bill was
up in the Senate to-day, the question
being on the motion Of Mr.. Sherman to
strike out the clause providing for in
creased compensation for railroad ser
vice. Mr.. Sherman withdrew his
amendment. The amendment for the
issue of two-cent stamped letter-sheet
envelopes was laid on the table. Mr..
Ramsey offered an amendment author
izing the POstmsster-Genera to appoint
a Superintendent of free delivery, at
salary OF twenty-five hundred dollars.
Agreed to.
Centennial Commission Subscription,
Senator Scott presented the report Of
the Centennial Commission subscrip-
tions, public and private. In Pennsyl-
vania alone they would amount to
about four million Of dollars. This start
would insure success. The exposition
would justify an appeal to other portions
OF the country.

Here. it Is. Here is the whole story
of a well-managed household and a gOoC
housewife on Saturday night:
Placing the little hats all in a row,
Ready Tor church on the morrow, you know
Washing wee faces and little black lists,
Getting them ready aud fit 10 be kissed;
Putting them into clean garments and white
That IS what mothers are doing TO might.
Sewing up holes in the little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are worn through th'
toes;
Looking O'er garments SO faded and thin
Who but q mother knows where to beEin2
Changing button 70 make il look right
That IS what mothers are doing tonight.
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their soft evening
prayer,
Telling them stories OF Jesus OF old,
Who loved to gather the lambs to his fold;
Watching, they listen with weary delight
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Creeping 30 softly to take a last peep,
After the little ones all are asleep;
Anxious 70 know II the children are warm,
Tucking the blanket round each little form;
Kissing each little face, rosy ana bright
That iB what mothers are doing tonight.
Kneeling down gently beside the white bed,
LOwly aud meekiy she bows down her head,
Praying as only mother can pray,
'God guide and keep them from going estray. ,

A friendof ours has kindly consented
to our copying the following extract
from letter Of Governor Letcher, touch
ing the death OF the lamented Com
modore Maury: "The death OF Com
modore Maury was not unexpected, e.
he bad been confined to his room for
months. He died calmly and quietly,
and without a grosn. A great light has
been extinguished, a great man has
been gathered to his fathers. Years will
pass away before another shall come to
supply his place. II is not generally
known, but yet it is true, that he was
nominated as midshipman by General
Sam Houston, and on their way to
Washington passed through this place.
They remained here two days, Houston
having many relations and friends here.
Near q half century afterward Maury
became a citizen Of this county, and
died within seven miles Of Houston's
birthplace. Jackson, Lee and Maury

The following is from financial ar
ticle Of the Journal of Commerce, New
York: "People who sit nervously in
contingencies or behind their goods,
waiting for customers to take them by
storm, and making no effort to let the
world know the bargains they have to
offer, will find the seasons very unpro-
pitious. Many Of those who have spent
large sums in hiring drummers, and
paying for other well-known appliances
of trade, have effected large sales, but
swallowed up too large q share of the re-
ceipts in such enormous attendant ex-
penses. The best remuneration has
been found by those who have returned
to the more legitimate, old-fashioned
methods Of pushing their business. We
say it, not simply because we are inter
ested in this line Of expenditure, but as
our best advice to all who wish to be en-
teTprising, or to secure q large custom,
there is nothing now 30 effective to this
end as judiciOus advertising. We do not
believe that sny man who has valuable
service or desirable property to offer, can
fail of rich harvest by continuous ad-
Vertising on large scale.
