The Moiety Question.

Judge Noah Davis was again before
the Committee of Ways and Means this
morning, and continued the statement
OF his connection with the moiety cases,
particularly the Phelps, Dodge q Co.
case. He gave it as his opinion that
the seizure of the books and papers was
obnoxious TO the Constitutional provis-
ion which secures the citizens OF the
United States from unreasonable
search and seizure. and that the stat.
ute should be repealed. AT
his interview in The Custom
house, with customs officers, December
3lst, in relation to the compromise pro-
csedipgs in Phelps, Dodge u 20. g csse,
the Judge said that Senator Conkling
was present, but he believed by accl.
dent, and that his presence had no
reference to the case. Being present,
however, 10 tell substantially what oc-
Cured, he said that Senator Conk.

HOUSE.

In the House, after the reading OF
the journal, Mr. Dawes, chairman OF
the Committee on Ways and Means,
gave notice that, on Monday next, he
should ask the privilege OF bringing be-
fore the House the consideration Of
what is generally termed the four hum
dred million bill, with the understands
ing that amendments reducing the
amount, would be admitted; he should
himself introduce an amendment to
limit the use OF 1856. 100000.
The Speaker stated that at the close
of the morning hour on Monday the
bill in relation to the Louisville d
Portland Canal Company would be in
order, and after that the bill to prevent
the importation of infectious and conta-
gious diseases After this latter bill
was disposed OF he would recognize the
gentleman from Massachusetts.
The House then proceeded to the
consideration OF the Georgia contested
election case, the msjority report being
that Mr.. Rowls, the sitting member, is
not entitled to seat aud that Andrew
Sloan, the contestant, is. The miuori-
ty report takes an opposite position. All
the Republican members OF the Com.
mittee join in the majority report and
all the Democrats in the minority re-
mort.

A Chinese Newspaper.

A Chinese newspaper has lately been
started in San Francisco. The Bulletin
thus describes the first number "The
San Francisco China NeaUS, as the
journal is entitled, appears in the pan
a0am far'-sSit, a written language of the
Chinese, which is as prolix almost as
the colloquial, and is delightfully."- fexi.
BILE. The journal is composed of four
pages, measuring eighteen by twenty.
four inches each. The first page is de.
voted to an elaborate article on com.
mercial matters, and the second page is
given to the editorial department, ad-
vertisements, and the usual apologetlc
remarks. The editorials are addressed
to the Chinese people of this city, and
dwell upon the necessity for Celestial
organ in country where Caucasian
newspapers are abundant and some.
times influential. The feature of the
editorial page is review of the
Beecher-Tilton scandal. The News re.
grets that in this enlightened age the
high priest of country in such close
proximity to China should become the
subject Of evil report. The editor de
duces a moral from the scandal, and il
a paragraph replete with Apostle ex
pressions, warns his readers not to &c
back on their ancestors. The third and
fourth pages are devoted to their Chins
news. The price of the paper is ter
cents.

A Physician who Healed Himself.

If railroad director were lashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had
to take their own physic before admin
istering it to their patients, fewer peo-
Pile would be poisoned. DIR. Joseph
Walker, of California, took this course
when he first compounded the famous
Vinegar Bitters, which now rank as an
inestimable household remedy in all
parts of the United States. He healed
himself with this specific before he
offered it to the world. He introduced
it with a simple statement of the man
ner in which he had discovered its veg
etable ingredients, and been cured,
while, wandering, sick and poor, among
the California tribes. He stated what
the preparation had done for himself,
and q few sufferers from dyspepsia,
bil1ousness, rheumatism, lung diseases,
and many other prevalent disorders,
believed him, tried the new restorative,
and were more than satisfied with the
results. In this way the sale of the
Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention
the fact as an evidence that in this age
of intelligence and inquiry, nothing
that is really valuable to mankind Car
prove pecuniary failure-even though
it may lack the help of capital, and have
to fight its way against powerful oppos
ing interests. Within two or three
months after its introduction, the ar
ticle became self supporting, and it now

The Great Danger Of Ministers.

The New York Observer, a we'll
known religious journal, says: "The
establishment of such relations between
pastor and his flock as shall secure
for him that intimacy which ought to
exist only in the domestic circle, is an
evil of fearful tendency and unspeak-
able danger. Ministers are censurable
in high degree who encourage their
people, men or women, to come to them
with family matters or secret sores.
Some men are themselves gossips, and
delight to get and give all they can of
social news, and the more secret the
richer the prize. They encourage reve-
lations when their ears should be deaf
to everything approaching to scandal.
All iudicious pastors discourage famil-
iarity on the part of their people. es-
peclally of the female denomination
For this way lies the danger. A
silly woman, pious perhaps, but very
soft and shallow, hears the stirring
words of her eloquent pastor, is reused,
warmed, soothed, exalted-she thinks
edified-and straightway she believes
him to be the man sent to do her good.
She goes to his study to tell him so /;
how much enjoyment she finds in his
words; or she writes him letter about
her gratitude for what her dear pastor
has done rher; how she sis lifted up
by his instructions how she loves him
as friend given to be her guide and
comfort and so on, and so on, more
and worse, running into o mawkish
sentimentality, sickening man
worship, disgusting to every sensible
person, but very nectar to a vain,
worldly preacher, who seeks only to
make his hearers "feel good" Such
people never go to their pastor to ask
"what they must do to be saved" II
is to tell him how good they feel how
he is exalting" them, Ceiling them
with Joy, peace, aud loYe." We cannot
go into particulars without offending
the tastes of every reader. We make
our meaning plain. We wish to be I'M
derstood as saying that what worldly
preachers and sentimental women cal
communion of soul " and "kindred
spirits" "mutual help" and "holy
sympathy" and words in the same
strain, is not religion-it is not even re.
ligious. It is of the earth earthly. Il
is "carnal nature conceived in sin.
1t is simply the lower nature, the
human passion of one creature TOWARD
another. God is not in it.

The heat of snmmer. as we'll as the

The heat of summer, as we'll as the
sudden changes of temperature incident to
autumn, coupled with the use of unripe vege-
tables and fruits and other unwhelesome
articles Of food, result every season in pro-
ducing much suffering from Diarrh@a, Dyson
terry, Cholera Morbus, Collie and other derange-
ments of the stomach and bowels. A remedy
that will promptly relieve these sufferings and
restore tone and normal action to the relaxed
and debilitated alimentary canal, is surely a
boon to the afflicted. DR.. r. Y. Pierce whose
Family Medicines have acquired worldwide
reputation, by long study and careful chemical
experiments has succeeded in extracting, by a
cold process, from Smart-Weed or Water
Pepper, Chat modest little plant seen in wet
grounds by the roadside and in neglected
grounds and pasture fields) q remedial principle
which, when skillfully combined with the ex-
tract of Jamaica Ginger and other pleasant
modifying agents, in what he calls his Com
pound Extract of Smart Weed, forms a most
reliable specific for all such arrangements and
sufferings. 1t is pleasant and safe to take, yet
powerful to cure. Its wonderful efficacy is a
further confirmation Of the Doctors idea that
God has caused to grow, in each climate and
region, those medicinal plants best calculated
for the cure of the diseases that prevail in the
section Of country where those plants are
found-that the leaves we're for the healing

What the Birds Did.

Frederick H., of Prussia, was one
day walking along the terrace at Sans
Souci and noticed that his beautiful,
large grapes were suffering severely
under the appetites of the sparrows.
Enraged at the impudent thieves, he
offered price for their heads, and in a
few weeks there was not single spar
row in the royal gardens. In the fol-
lowing year, however, not single
grape ripened, and the Prussian mon.
arch found that as soon as the sparrows
disappeared the grubs, caterpillars and
snails began to commit their depreda-
tions unmolested, and the king found
out that, although the sparrows were
great thieves, their useful qualities fal
more than counterbalanced their bad
ones. He repealed his former edict
and since that time sparrows and
grapes have prospered abundantly al

A Sad Home.

In her evidence before the Beecher
investigating committee, a question was
asked relative to the trouble caused by
awoman who visited Mr.. Tilton's house.
Mrs. Tilton, in reply to the question,
told the following touching incident of
her life: think she hurt me more
than yam one in the world. She was
more severe, and treated me with
greater contempt than anybody else
ever did, and to such an extent that L
could not speak of it to my husband, as
he never took any side; nor could I
tell mother about it. I did not feel like
revealing to her all this trouble and
embarrassment and humiliation. I did
not feel that there was place for my
head to lie down on in that house, and
frequently went out wandering in the
streets. Night after night I walked,
with my waterproof cloak on, and
would go back and creep into che base
ment and lie down anywhere, feeling
utterly wretched. Once I went away
from home, thinking that I would not
come back, but I found that I had left
my purse at home, and had to return

The Rattlesnake's Enemy.

OF all enemies with which the rattle
snake has to contend, except man, the
hog is the most destructive. An old
SOW with litter of pigs to provide for
will hunt for reptiles with a persever-
ance and sagacity truly astonishing,
tracking them by their scent to their
hiding places and never letting them
escape.
In the West, in early times, and now
throughout the country, if rattlesnakes
become troublesome in any locality,
drove of hogs are turned into their
haunts and the snakes soon disappear.
The hog, when it sees rattlesnake,
instantly erects it's bristles and back,
and commences rafting it's tusks. The
snake accepts the challenge and pre-
pares for defence.
The hog seems to understand what
parts of it's body are invulnerable to
poison, so it gets down upon it's knees,
and in this awkward position deliber-
ately crawls, by a sideling motion, up
to the enemy.
| The snake darts forward and the hog
dexterously catches the fangs in the fat
of the jaws-the blow is repeated, and
the hog having been smitten on one
cheek, deliberately turns the other.
This the animal continues to do until
the snake has not only exhausted fol
time being it's poison, but also its
strength.
The hog then deliberately rises from
its knees, and now regardless of conse
quences, seizes the serpent near the
head, and putting its forefoot upon it,
squirming body, strips the reptile
through its teeth, and thus tears it t.
pieces. If the hog, as is sometimes thu
case. happens to be very lean, and thu
poison fangs thereby strike circulation
it will die from thewound, but the con
junction rarely take place.
