WARRINGTON.
Xiv CoD9reSs-hecOnd Session.

Senate.
WARRINGTON, Dec. 20-The Chair laid
before the Senate communication from the
Secretary of War enclosing the report of
Major G. B, Comstock, Corps of Engineers,
showing the condition of the work Of i'm
proving the South Pass of the Mississippi
river. Ordered to be printed and lie on the
table.
Mr.. Mitchell (Oregon) presented the joint
resolutions of the Oregon Legislature asking
an appropriation for a geological survey ol
the State. Referred to the committee on
Mines and Mining.
The House.
Mr.. Wood IN. ~ rising to a personal
explanation, referred to the Washington
"Nationsl Republican" as having published
false and calumnious charges against him,
most of which, be said, referred to business
transactions which took place thirty years
ago, and which were then refuted and re-
tracted by their author.
Those transactions which were thought to
have occurred since that time had been
proved equally false and without foundation.
These facts we're known, or should have
been known, to the parties who were reviv-
ing them, doubtless for the purpose of
lettering him from the performance of bis
public duty at this juncture.
he had therefore risen to say that every
allegation In those publications affecting his
personal integrity was void of foundation;
that the charges we're originally made for
the purpose of blackm ailing; that they
were promptly met by him and completely
refuted, without bis yielding to the money
demands made upon him.
They had been revived since then by rolt-
tical and personal enemies for objects OBJ
vious to everyone. He sent to . Clerks
desk, and had read letter from Mr.. Spaf-
ford, the librarian of Congress, contradict
ing one Of the statements made against
Mr.. Wood, and intim ating that their author
was A. L. Stoteldo, late of the New York
Free Lance, journal devoted chiefly to
libel.
The Speaker stat ed that be had inform a.
tion that there was gentleman in the city
who was the bearer to the people of this
country of communication from the Irish
nation, congrstulaling the American people

THE NEW TERRITORY.

The Senate reconsiderod the vote by which
the bill to establish the Territory of Penn.
bins was ordered to a third reading and
passed on the 9Th of August last. The
name of the new Territory which is to be
organizsd out of . portion of the present
Territory of Dekotah, was then changed
from Pembina to Huron, and the bill was
passed.
[The proposed new Territory of Huron is
to consist of that portion of the present
Territory of Dakotah which lies north of
the forty-sixth parallel of latitude. It lies
on the nothern boundary of the United
States, directly opposite the British province
of Winnipeg, which has claimed SO much
attention Of late years. The proposed new
Territory covers an area of n, $50 square
miles, or more than half as much territory
again az the State of Pennsylvania. There
are within its limits 1900 miles of naviga-
BILE waters, including the Missouri, Yellow
stone, and Red rivers. The latter furnishes
communication northward with Manitoba.

Theatre fire, Lorraine Rogers, tho business
manager, testified that his duties were ia

and attend to all business before tho cur
tain.
Ripley Ropes (with sevsrity)-Do you
feel personally free from all responsibility
that may arise from the hre, 30 far - the
stage 10 concerned
The witness-I cay that, and I say more,
that I not feel tnat I faithfully endeavored
to do my duty, but that every man In the
theatre and on the stage, Mr.. Thorpe
included, did his duty to the utmost Of
his ability.
After describing the dre, he added; II
think that those in the gallery were quite
forgotten by those who were trying to save
life in the lobby below.
Mr. Ropes Every severely)-You may 10
well dismiss from your mind, sir, that much
of the theory, to the effect that no effort
was made to save the lives of those in the
gallery. We shall show that there was an
attempt of this kind made.
James w. Thorpe, the stage manager OF
the Brooklyn Theatre, testified that It had
not considered q part of his duty to look to
the safety of the building or It's appliances
for extinguishing fire. He, too, described
the oft repeated scenes in the theatre after
the are began, and added that pack Of
scenery was leaning against the wall over
the plug to which The hose was attached
or BY which 1t was hanging. It was jar
rett Il Palmer's scenery in tho play Of
"JuliusC@sar." They had faithfully promis-
ed to take 1t away that morning, but had
failed to do 30. The stage wss numbered
up by this scenery.
Superintendent James Naughton, Of the
Brooklyn Department of Buildings, has beer
suspended from Office by the Com missioners
The reasons for the suspension are not gtve1
but 1t 10 undisputed that 1t grows out of the
theatre disaster. Mr.. Naughton 10 Or

EGGs-How INcREAsED.-1f an increase
of eggs is desired in the poultry yard, be-
fore large sums of money are expended in
the purchase of everlasting layers, we
would recommend the keeping of no hens
after the first, or at most the second year.
Early pullets give the increase, and the
only wonder is that people persist as they
do in keeping up stock of old hens, whic.
lay one day and stop three, instead of lay
ing three days and stopping one; in some
parts of England it is the invariable rule to
keep the pullets one year. Feeding will do
great deal-a surprising work indeed-in
tue production of eggs: but not when the
old hens are concerned; they may put on
fat but they cannot put down eggs. Their
tales are told, there work is over; nothing
remains to be done with them but to give
them smell of the kitchen fire, and the
sooner they get that the better. OF course
there are some old faverites whose lives can
be spared as long as they can send their
representatives.. Judicious mating, by which
we mean the advantage of a comparatively
youthful cockerel, may be the means oi
even exhibition poultry making their ap
pearance from the eggs of the good old
hen, and here we have the exception tC
the rule we insist upon.-LondOn Agricultural

MACHINERY HALL UNEQUALLED.-An Eng
lish mechanic writing to the London
Times says:
The display of machinery at the Phila-
delphia Exhibition has never been equaled
either for quantity, or for quality, or for fit
ness. The grand effect which it produces
is no mere result of repetition according to
well-known forms of construction, but is
due to abounding novelty, originality and
progress. This department of the Exhibi-
ton has a strongly-marked American char
acter, and can hardly be regarded as an in
ternational competition. Other civilized
countries, it is true, take part therein, and
Great Britain especially, but the aggregate
does not equal one-fourth of the articles ex.
hibited from the United States. There is
also marked evidence of patriotic spirit in
the prodigious efforts made by individual
citizens and firms to sustain worthily the
mechanical reputation of their country
The extent, the money value, the excel
lence and originality of the objects display
ed BY them impress a stranger immensely
and however much he may have seen o
former International Exhibitions on tn,
grand scale, these impressions survive"

tickets and had no cause of complaint during my first

without spare seat, and was forced to stand for

me that was in danger of being thrown into his lap
by the jostling throng And yet he did not seem to
notice or for the awkwardneSs of my position.

Young women, who destitute of politeness as
themselves. On my return to the city number of
ladies as well myself had no seats, while men and
bOus were pleasantly accommodated The women ex-
changed with another to relieve themselves but
the men and boys held on to their seats until they
were about to leave the cars.
have been acquainted with Irish, English, French,
Spanish and American gentleman, and can truly say
that the Delaware and Chesapeake Peninsula on
which was born, and always lived has produced re-
fined men that will favoEaby compare with any that
have seen. Such men would spontaneously have
ladies their seats in despite of any feeling of selfish
ness or fatigue which may have presented itself to
their minds.
We remember of reading some years ago of the un-
polite behaviour in the cars Of this city of women
towards the men. They would take their seats when
No well bred woman would act so. Some thoughtlesS
young girls and some vulgar fine dressed women who
have acted thus are cTterans to judge of ladies
