The Mule in Congress.

The following scene, in which that useful
and intelligent animal, the mule, was intro
duced in the House of Representatives, was
presented on the 25th nit.
Mr.. Nesmith moved to strike ont from the
paragraph relating to the debt Of Department
of Justice, the..item of $14O for the care and
subsistence Of horses. and 5000 for repairs to
carriages and harness. He spoke of the At
torney Generals $1,000 landaulet, and re-
marked that lawyers of the Attorney Gen
erals calibre in his city rode on the outside
Of fifty dollar mule. Laughter. There
you put beggar on horseback he will ride
to the devil.
Mr.. Negley objected to a comparison of an
officer of the Government to beggar on
horseback.
Mr.. Nesmith-I simply referred to the
mule. Laughter.
The Chairman-The gentleman from Ore
gon will continue, being careful to keep in
order.
Mr.. Nesmith-I was only quoting the
Spanish proverb, which says: "Pnt beg
gar on horseback, and he will ride to the
devil / have no objection to the termina-
tion of a journey in that particular direc-
ton, but don't want the people to pay for
the transportation. Laughter.
Mr.. G. +. Hoar believed that a reasonable
and decent conveyance should be provided
for the Attorney General, and he asked the
gentleman from Oregon (Nesmith) whether
he would like to have the Attorney General
ride down Pennsylvania Avenue on the back
of tifty-dollar mule.
Mr.. Nesmth noticing the statement of Mr..
Whe eler, said that the voucher showed that
extravaganza had been increasing in the
rates of the difference of a 5000 wagon and
$1,000 one. In reply to Mr.. Hoar, he said he
had seen the Attorney General ride in Ore
gon on mule; that Philip the Second of
Spain rode an AndalusaD mule through the
streets of Madrid when he went to marry
Mary of England, and that sacred history
gave an account of a better man than either
of them, riding on one of those useful ami
mails that had no pride Of ancestry and no
hope Of posteritv.

We have always allied ourselves with
those who defend the nutritive qualities of
hash. Year after year we have listened
to mountains of obloquy heaped upon
this faverite morning dish and we can
stand it no longer. We appeal to every
epicure whether or not hash richly fla
vored and highly seasoned is not par
excellence a. toothsome breakfast dish. The
soupcon of onion, the dash of cayenne pep
per and whisper of Worcestershire sauce,
makes it good enough for anybody. No

1t is positively frightfnl to stand at the
corner of Carondelet and st. Mary Streets
and see one after the other OF those human
freighted vehicles called cars go by at a
speed which threatens the very existence Of
any one crossing the track the week after.
1t takes just about one week for the car to
arrive where the person crossing may be-

to whether the car is coming or not. Chi

TRAVEL RESUMED ON THE JACKSON
RoUTE.-The leading trunk railroad routes
have all suffered in common with every
branch of business in consequence of the
recent storms and overflow but now, after
several days of inactivity, the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern, as well as
the Mississippi Central Railway, resumes
business-the water having run off from
the tracks, and the roads placed in proper
and safe condition SO as to enable the trains
to make their regular connections to all
points North, East and West. Travellers
should call at the Jackson office Camp and
Common streets, under City HoteD, and at
the Pontchartrain Depot ION Elysian Fields
street, for tickets and information. The
cold Reliable" is up and doing, and the
travelling public can again be accommO
dated as heretofore with through Pullman
cars.

The obstinate and intractable juryman is
a heavy burden to the souls of litigants and
to the patience of judges, but justice got one
ahead of him in a case tried before New
York judge. After the lawyers on both sides
had closed, the judge, instead OF delaying
Justice by the usual formalites, ordered the
clerk to enter judgment for the defendant.
=" Gentlemen of the jury, you find for the
defendant said this guileless judge "Stand
up and listen to the clerk while he reads
your verdict And, though the jury pro-
tested that they were not so certain about
that, the verdict was entered in spite of
them. With few more such judges we
might be able to dispense entirely with the
antqua;ed and cumbersome institution of
trial by jury, unless, indeed, it should be
found more expedient to dispense with the
judges.

The Rivers.

At this point we have no change to report
in regard to the condition of the Father of
Waters. 1t remains nearly stationary, the
daily rise and fall being occasioned by the
Gulf tide, the effects of its ebb and flood
being apparent here twice every twenty-four
hours.
The rear portions Of
AlGiers and Gretna
are now almost entirely free from water,
except such as has accumulated from the
recent heavy rain falls.
The Lower Coast.
From Capt. Oliver Canton, of the steamer
Empire, we learned that the Belle Chase
and Greenwood crevasses have been closed,
and that when his steamer passed up yes
terday, the Pierre Collette crevasse at Pointe
a-la-Hache was almost closed.
The Upper Crevasses
remain about as last reported, excepting
those at McCullom's, which have all been
closed.
The Yazoo and Tanahatchie
were falling at last advices.
The Mississippi
remains stationary from st. Louis down to
Vicksburg, at which point it has risen two
inches in the last twerty-four hours, and ia
still rising.
Relief for the Lower Coast.
At 10 A. NJ. next Sunday morning, the fine
side-wheel steamer Empire, under the able
command of Capt. Oliver Canton, will make
an excursion trip to Pointe-a-la- Hache, the
entire proceeds Of which will be devoted to
the relief of the suffering poor of the Lower
Coast, whose places have been inundated by
the present great flood. We hope to see her
back out full of pleasure-seekers.
The Ohio.
At Pittsburg this stream was on the Goth,
falling, but at Cincinnati, Louisville and
Evansville, it continued to rise.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
The Roof Of the New Retort
Of the Gas Company
Falls in.
Many Persons Injured.

Last evening, at few minutes before 6
o'clock, a section Of the roof Of the new re-
tort house in process Of erection on the
square bound by Poydras, Perdido, Clara
and Magnolia steeets, fell in with a terrible
crash that was heard squares away, and
drew to the scene large crowds of people
who came hurrying from all directions,
many wild with excitement and fears of
friends and relations among the workmen,
of which at the time of the accident there
were a large number engaged on the build
ing.
When matters quoted down it was found
that many persons were injured.
As soon as the dust settled and the cOndi-
ton of affairs could be seen, the workmen
who had escaped unhurt from the building
rushed back to the assistance Of their com
rades.
Among the first
Taken from the Ruins
was Mr.. Rufus SilcOt, VIII. was found pressed
to the ground with several pieces of the
heavy iron bars of which the roof was COM
posed. 1t was with great difficulty that
these were removed; but the unfortunate
gentleman was at last released and taken to
the residence of his son, at the corner Of
Clara and Perdido streets.
Dr. j. d. Hunter was Immediately sum-
moned, and, on examination, it was found
that Mr. Silcot had an arm and leg broken
and had sust lined severe internal injuries.
DR.. Hunter says that his condition is criti-
cal, and it is impossible to express any opin-
ion as to what will be the probable result.
One of the skaters, Jas. S. Silman,
colored man, was also taken from the ruins.
He was carried to the Charity Hospital,
where an examination disclosed the fact
that he had an arm broken and had besides
been seriously injured in the back. He was
attended to and was then conveyed home.
Among the other workmen that were
hurt were jeremiah Duggan, severely,
though not seriously, on back and leg VIM.
Nevins, internally, seriously but not
aud Thos. Stern, who was
badly cut about the face and head
1t was COR a time feared and reported that
there were men buried beneath the ruins
but an investigation showed that this was
not the case.
The Building,
looking at the finished portion-which is
still intact-from the outside has the APP
pearance of being very strong, and, no
doubt, so far as the walls are concerned, this
is the case, but the accident yesterday shows
that the roof is certainly dangerous.
The section of the roof that fell in ex
tended from Clara to Magnolia streets. 1t
was of iron, and was supported by iron col
umns, which were snapped off short There
was only one half of it slated.
is said 20 be very great, and it will take
many weeks to repair the damage.
1t is said there will be committee APP
pointed by the Gas Company to inquire into
the cause of the accident, and until their re-
port is made, nothing but theories and spec
ulations can be INDUCED in in reference to it.

WHAT THEY DID WITH THE MONEY.-The
French indemnity paid to Germany on ac-
count of the Franco German war amounted,
together with interest, to $1,O69, 979,797 in
gold. With this sum Germany crea ted q fund
of SO 100000 forinvalid pensions, made com
pensation to the German shipping interest
and to the Germans expelled from France by
the war, established railways in the ceded
provinces, built Notifications, made grants
to meritorious generals and statesmen, dis
mantled French fortresses, paid for siege
material, established Notifications on the
coast, restored railways in France, con-
structed telegraph lines for the use of the
army of occupation, paid for the expenses
of civil administration in the occupied pro-
vinces, and restored about s., 1000, 900 to the
Naval Ministry for war expenses. The sum
total of these appropriations and expendi-
lures, with the value of the ceded railways
of Alsace-Lorraine, was over S432, 600 in
gold, and there remains S636, 100000 to be
divided among the States of tie German
Empire. OF this amount the North German
Confederation will get 1881 ,0OO,0 600, Bavaria
S64 800, 000 and the other States from six to
twenty millions OF dollars each.

The French ''hat" system of houses has
been introduced in Boston and New York,
with considerable success. The houses are
divided into flats or suites of rooms, each
complete in itself, and each house has a
jantor charged with keeping the hall and
entryways lighted and in good order. The
rents for these suites of rooms range from
$500 to $1,000 for the first floor, to $500 for
the third floor. The houses are really
nothing more than large tenements of a
good class, built expressly for the purpose
of being rented out to different families.
