New-York tribune., 1874-06-13
Both these amendments the Ways and Means Com.

Both these amendments the Ways and Means Com
mittee has agreed to.
The House bill contained the following clause for
this relief of merchants whose goods might be seized
as security for fines penalties incurred at former
entries:
But nothiDgI herein contained shall prevent any
owner claimant from obtaining release OF such mer
chandse giving bond with surees satisfactory 70
the Collector or case judicial proceedings satsac
tory TO the court for the payment OF any tine OF
incurred; provided however, that such merchandise
shall in no case be released until all accrued duties
thereon shall have been paid or secured.
The Senate struck out this very just provision,
and the Ways and Means Committee voted to re-
store il.
The Senate struck ont section 16 of the House bill
and disagreed with the substitute proposed by the
Finance Committee. This section directs the Judge
in all actions suits pending for forfeiture OF goods
OF the recovery of any sum of money alleged to be
forfeited for violation of the customs revenue laws
to submit to the jury as distinct and separate
proposition, whether the alleged acts were
done with actual intent to defraud the UNI
ted States and to require upon this propo-
sition a special finding This the Committee
voted to-day TO restore. Section II Of the House
bill. forbidding compromises by United States
officers stricken out by the Senate was restored by
the Ways and Means Committee. In Section Is the
Senate fixed the time after which suits could be
begun for duties not paid in the absence OF fraud,
to three years before the passage of the goods
through the Custom-hOuse. The Ways and Means
Committee have reduced the time to two years. All
that part of the Senate bill relating to salaries OF
officers who have no share of moieties
under the present law was stricken out. The last
section was stricken ont. This was inserted
by the Senate to the mOieies of informers and
customs officers in cases begun before May l, 1874
1t is hardly possible that the House Will reach the
bill before Monday, which will postpone the work
of the Conference Committee upon it until the mid
die of next week. The chief danger is now that the
Senate may be able to prevent action on the Confer
ence report OF make some excuse for non-concur-
nng and sending back for amendment, and so
defeat the bill for this session.

THE DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE.

S"Tears, idle tears, | know not what

And thinking of the days that are no

''Fresh as the first beam glittering on

That brings our friends up from the un-

Sad as the last, which reddens over one
That sinks all we love below the verge !;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no

"Ah, sad and strange as in dark sum-

Indian Eloquence.

The Pail MaU Gazette doubts if
one of Mr.. joaquin Miller's Indian
acquaintances gave utterance to
such inflated rhetoric as "The
whites were as strong as the ocean,
the red men like sand, helpless, 81
lent, run upon, and swallowed up:'
But this sort of .grandiloquence is
familiar to Americans who have
lived on the frontier of all Indian
country. When the lawyers puz-
zled old Red Jacket about intricate
questions of law in relation to land
claims, he walked out in front of
the judge, and with apiece of chalk
drew two concentric circles on the
floor Of the Court House. Passing
his walking club slowly around the
outer circle, he said: "Within that
bound is the white mans knowl-
edge" and then describing the
smaller one, he said, "Within that
bound is the Indians knowledge"
and resting moment on his club,
he wound up his argument by say
ing, "And beyond those two bounds
the Indian knows as much as the
white man."
Indian morality is often of a
strange order. A certain officer of
United States dragons was rob-
bed and murdered many years ago
by the Potawatamies. A trial at a
civil tribunal failed to bring the
offenders to justice, though every
circumstance failed to bring the
offenders to justice, though every
circumstance pointed to their chief,
Dowagiac, as the principal offender.
At last bright young lawyer hit
on a stratagem to get at the truth
of the matter. Dowagiac was sit
ting gazing at the judge, counsel,
and jury, by turns, in the most
stolid manner, when MIR. W., OF
Detroit, sprangin an excited man
ner to the chief, and asked in a
imperative voice, "Dowagiac, did
you kill Capt. Jefferson ?" Eyes"
said tie Indian solemnly. s'Dowa-
giac did kill Capt. Jefferson, but
Dowagiac ron't he."
Indians can brag, too. Tipsy old
Big Kettle, in the streets Of Butfa-
10, once defed the rabble in this
way: "Me's great fighter; mes
a big Indian; Lake Erie my farm,
big Buffalo creek my father, Gen.
Porter my aunt! White man can't
fight Big Kettle; too much sq''a'o ;
too much darSeM.

A HOUSE OF OUR OWN.

Next to being married to the
right person there is nothing 80 i'm
portant in ones life as to live un-
der ones own roof. There is some
thing more than a poetical charm
in the expression OF the wife.
eve have our cosey house; it is
thrice dear to us because it is our
own. We have bought it with the
savings of our earnings. Many
were the soda fountains, the con-
fectionary saloons, and the necessi-
ties of the market we had to pass !;
many a time my noble husband
denied himself Of the comfort of
tobacco, the refreshing draught of
beer, wore his old clothes, and even
patched up boots; and I, O., me
made my old bonnet do, wore the
plainest clothes, did the plainest
cooking; saving was the order of
the house, and to have a house of
our own was our united aim. Now
we have it; there is no landlord
troubling US with raising the rent,
and exacting this and that. There
is no fear harbored in our bosom
that in sickness or old age we will
be thrown out of house and home,
and the money we have saved
which otherwise would have gone
to pay rent, is sufficient to keep us
in comfort in the winter days of
life.
What q lesson do the above
words teach, and how well it would
be if hundreds Of families would
heed them, and instead OF living in
rented houses, which take a large
share of their earnings to pay tho
rent, dress and eat accordingly,
would bravcly curtail expenses,
and concentrate their efforts on
having "a home of their own
Better cottage Of your own than
rented palace:

All the negro members of the
House of Representatives - seven
in number-voted against the bill
providing for general amnesty.
They have been educated in parti-
zanship and hate to such a degree,
that they not only vote against all
the Intelligence in the white race,
but, in this case, even against the
recommendation Of the President.
Such an indication is not hopeful.
They are perpetually demanding a
removal of imaginary disabilities
from themselves, while at the same
time voting to keep them upon
Others. It may be that the African
may in time develope ideas of
craftsmanship. AS far. as they have
progressed, however, the showing
is thin enough.-Ihe Daily Pioneer,

Pop-CoRN AT DEssERT.-l think
T need not tell how to pop corn,
need I? It is the best way to have
a coru-popper; then you can watch
the progress of the corn and vary
the degree of heat as seems neces-
sary. Many imagine that the pop
corn is more tender aud brittle if
taken from the hot fire and shaken
about in the cold air as quickly as
possible. Children are apt to stuff
themselves with popcorn when
they are not in the least need of a
meal. Popcorn is food, and such
a crowded condition Of the stomach
produces discomfort, and 80 pop
corn is considered unwholesome.
1t is quite the contrary if eaten as
food with the regular meal and pro-
perly chewed. Try it with milk
and apple-sauce, or any good fruit
sauce.
