CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, June 2, two bills relating to
the navigation of Western Rivers, were
passed. The first as to the closing of the
Ohio River, at Neville's Island; the other
as to exempting boats engaged in the
navigation Of the Mississippi and its trIbu-
taries from clearance duties. The Legisla-
tive Appropriation Bill was then taken up,
and the Senate refused to concur in the
House provisions reducing the salaries of
In the House the Indian appropriation bill
was considered, and one or two sections
passed, but before the section relating to the
transfer of the Indian Bureau was reached
the House took q recess until 7:30. The
evening session was for debate on the tariff
bill.
In the Senate, June 3, the bill providing
for an agreement with the Sioux Indians to
give up their reservation for other purposes,
was taken up. IL was amended so as to pro.
vide that the President should appoint n
Commission of five members, who should
visit the Black Hills, treat with the Indians,
transmit to the President any agreement they
may make, who shall, in turn, transmit the
agreement to Congress for its approval; the
Commission to be allowed $50 900 to pay
their expenses. The bill was read third
time and passed. The legislative, executive,
and judicial appropriation bill was then
taken up, and, by vote OF 81 10 III, tne fres-
ident's salary was restored to $4,000 year.
The salaries of the employees Of the govern.
ment, in all its departments, were restored
10 their former figure. The Senate then
went into executive session, and soon ad-
iourned In the House, the Committee on
the st. Louis Trials was, on the motion OF
Mr.. Cate, OF Wisconsin, directed TO investi.
gate the Milwaukee Whisky Ring, with the
intent TO discover whether any United states
officials we're concerned therein. The Indian
Appropriation Bill was then considered, and
the amalgamation OF the whites and Indians
was decided 10 be worthy of encouia agement.
When the section relating 10 the transfer OF
the Indian Bureau to the War Department
was reached, the House adjourned.
In the Senate, June 8, the Conference
Committee on the Consular and Diplomatic
Appropriation bill reported that the Com.
mtttee had been unable 10 agree, and new
committee was appointed, as follows;
Messrs. Sargent, Howe and Bogy. The SEN
ate resumed the consideration OF the unfin-
ished business, being the Legislative,

bill. The amendments OF the Committee
on Appropriations, restoring the compen.

Secretary OF the Interior, were agreed

Sounds at Night.

Every one has noticed how many sim
gular sounds are heard at night-nOises
apparently unexplainable, and cOnse-
quently mysterious. Many ghost
story has sprung from an unaccountable
noise many a person terrified beyond
measure by an unexpected sound at mid
night. Sir David Brewster gives an ex-
cellent account of a mysterious night
sound which would have frightened
many persons, but which proved inno-
Gently harmless when tested by steady
observer. A gentleman heard strange
sound every night, soon after getting
into bed his wife heard 1t also, but not
at the time when she retired, little
earlier than he. No probable cause
could be assigned, and the effect upon
the imagination became rather unpleas-
ant. He found, some time afterward,
that the sound came from a wardrobe
which stood near the head of his bed.
He almost always opened and closed this
wardrobe when undressing, but as the
door was little tight he could not quite
close IL. The door, possibly affected by
gradual changes of temperature, forced
itself open with q sort of dull sound
which was over in an instant. From the
lady not being in the habit OF using that
wardrobe, the mystery became asso-
ciated with her husband only. Had
they given way to imagination, and
ney er investigated the affair, another
haunted house would have been added
TO the long row already standing.

Practical SuggestIOns.

For SICK HEADACHE.-Two teaspoon
fuls of finely powdered charcoal, drank
in half tumbler of water, will often
give relief to the headache, when caused,
as in most cases it is, by superabund-
ance of acid in the stomach.
For CRoUP.-Iake knife or CRATER,
and CRATE or shave in small PARTICLES
about a teaspoonful of alum mix it
with about twice its quantity of sugar, to
make it palatable, and administer IL as
quickly as possible. Its effects will be
truly magical, as almost instantaneous
relief will be afforded.
FLAxsEED LEMoNADE.-Pour one
quart boiling water over four tablespoon
fuls of flaxseed. Steep, not boil, three
hours; cover closely while sleeping
then strain, sweeten to taste, and add the
Juice of two lemons, putting in more

DR. SouENCK's PuLMoNIo SYRUP SEA WEED Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines have un-
doubtedly performed more cures of Consumption
than any other remedy known to the American pub
lie. They compounded of vegetable ingredients,
and contain nothing which can be injurious to the
human constitution. Other remedies advertised as
cures for Consumption, probably contain opium,
which is somewhat dangerous drug in all cases,
aud If taken freely by consumptive patients it must
do great injury; for its tendency is to coniGe the
morbid matter in the system. which, of course must
make cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
is warranted not to contain particle Of opium: 1t
is composed OF powerful but harmless herbs, which
act oa the lungs liver, stomach, and blood, and
thus correct oil morbid secretons aud expel all the
diseased matter from the body. These the only
means 10y which Consumption can be cured, and as

Behold that pale, emaciated figure, with
downcast eye, like some criminal about to
meet her fate! See that nervous, distrust-
full look, as she walks along with a slow and
unsteady step. The pink has left her cheek
and the cherry her lips. The once spark
ling, dancing eyes are now dull and express
sionless. The once warm, dimpled hands
are now thin and cold. Her beauty has fled.
What has wrought this w0ndrous change?
What is that which is lurking beneath the
surface of that once lovely form? Does she
realize her terrible condition.? Is she aware
of the woeful appearance she makes? Wo-
man, from her very nature, is subject to a
catalogue of diseases from which man is
entirely exempt. Many of these mala-
dies are induced by her own care

laws of her being. Again, many Fe.
male Diseases, if properly treated, might
be arrested in their course, and thereby
prove of short duration. They should not
be left to an inexperienced physician who
does not understand their nature, and is
therefore incompetent to treat them. The

FIELD AND HOME.

AGRICULTURAL STATIsTICs.-We clip
the following from the indianapolis
Journal: In the work of preparing his
annual report for 1875, Mr.. Alexander
Heron, Secretary of the State Board Of
Agriculture, has had recourse to many
sources of information. BY correspon-
dence he enlisted the interest of the Hon.
Peter Cooper, of New York, who takes
a deep interest in the culture of fax. At
his instance Mr.. Wilson Watson, of
Brooklyn, has prepared table of the
wheat products of the principal States
for 1874, accompanied by brief showing
of the relative value of fax raising. The
table is introduced by the following
letter:

BUTTER SAUCE FOR MACKEREL.-Half
a cup of -four mixed with cold water till
a smooth paste; stir enough of this paste
into half-pint of boiling water over the
fire to form thick cream; add a little
salt, and stir steadily with an egg-whip
for two minutes; then remove from the
fire and stir in quarter-pound of butter,
two tablespoonfuls Of chopped parsley
and the juice of half lemon. Set it on
the back part of the stove to keep warm,
but on no account let it boil. No sauce
should be boiled after the butter has been
added, or it will have rancid taste !;
and to boil after lemon juice has been
beaten in will turn the lemon bitter.
Having broiled the fish, lay it carefully
into a hot platter with parsley, water
cress, or slice of lemon upon it, and
serve. DO not put the sauce over the
fish, but send it to the table in sauce

THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION.

Yesterdays and last nights dispatch
es leave the Presidential situation still
shrouied in doubt. Seemingly, moth
ing definite can be obtained from any
quarter. Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina are the States towards which
all eyes are just now turned. Our very
latest news is especially encouraging to
Democratic hopes. At l Olast night the
New York Democratic Central Com
mittee gave out Information and sent
1t broadcast over the country, that Til
den had, undoubtedly, carried all three
of the doubtful States. II any portion
OF this dispatch be true, why then tits
a settled fact that we are to have .
change of administration. 1t will not
do, however, for either party to fire
the anvil artillery until something a
little more definite is received. There
are SO many contradictory dispatches
afioat that it is simply impossible to
form anything like a correct conclusion
regarding the result. Both sides APP
pear to be about equally confident, and
such being the case We must all possess
ourselves in patience until the real
status of affairs is known. This will
probably require a day or tw longer.
In the meantime we are prepared to
see the whole thing thrown into a
grand muddle through alleged frauds
in the doubtful Southern States, no
matter which party wins. But let us
wait and see what another day brings
forth,

One Of the Senators from Washoe,
the hold-over, i. an Independent who.
two years ago, acted with the Demo-
Gratis throughout the session.. Lincoln
and Elko each elected a Senator at the
late election, both of which we have
credited to the Republicans. We have
also assumed the success of Skillman
in White Pine, and Creswell in Nye.
Each of these gentlemen were a very
little ahead at latest accounts. Our fig
ures may possibly be a little off, but
we think they are in the main correct.
At all events, there will not be more
than one or two difference in The
strength of the respective parties in the
Senate at the approaching session.
We estimate the Assembly at 90 Re-
publicans aud 81 Democrats. No In
dependents have been returned from
any county this year. 1t is a good
thing for the State that SO many Dem
ocrats have been elected, sSthe Repub-
licans were pretty generally committed
to the repeal of the bullion tax law
ard the calling of a Constitu-
tional Convention. With the Legis
lature constituted as we have estimated
it, there is no likelihood that either
proposition will prevail.
