burg, is described as perfect floating pal
ace. Her length is $40 feet, breadth of
beam forty feet, and depth of hold thirty
two feet. The steamer Is divi led into
seven wa,er-tght compartments which are
separated from one another by patent doors
and which, in case Of fire, can be put up-
der steam at moments notice. The first
cabin is on the main deck, and Is most
sumptuously and tastefully fitted up. The
grand saloon is amidsbips, extending over
the entire breadth of the ship. The steer
age passengers are well provided for, with
well-ventilated apartments. Off in separ-
ate sections, each accommodating from six
to twenty people, there are also dining
rooms with tables, giving every passenger
seat at table for his meals.
TONE OF CoNGREssNEN.
The Times says the views of the mem
bers of congress now at Washington are
very hazy. They are quite agreed that they
had nothing to do with the late election dis
aster, though some of them concedc that
the late disaster had good deal to do with
them. There is reported indifference to
the financial question, and general dispo-
sition to lie low and keep quiet. The prob
ability of dodging the financial question is
about as great for them as was the chance
of Noah's contemporaries outside the ark
lodging the flood.
The Tribune says of the message "The
spccie-paying theory is adhered to, but no
time for resumption is recommended. The
message is of a negative character. and de-
void of recommendations and declarati ons.
Vice President Wilson will preside over the
senate and an cventful cssion is predicted
by Speaker Blaine"
MIR. BEEchER,
Friday evening, spoke on the points of diff
ference between the Old and New Tesla
ments. He said he thought the tone of the
Old Testament was too harsh and impefa-
tive TO suit the condition of our modern
Christians, whereas the New Testament
provided he means Of salvation for all
upon certain conditions. A careful com.
parison of the two systems would reveal
that state of things.
REPEAL OF TIE LEGAL TENDER ACT.
The Republic says there is no doubt that
the president will recommend the repeal of

condemned according to the different view:
which are held on financial matters by con
greS3men.
