all white and red cedar. The Centennial
bill was discussed, and the amendments Of
fered were rejected. Mr.. McCreery offered
as substitute for the bill bill calling upon
the people of the United States to assemble
on the 4th Of July next at suitable places and
pronounce eulogies, offer up prayers, etc.,
for the one hundredth return Of the auspi-
cious day. The substitute was rejected......
In the House, Mr.. Banning asked leave to
offer resolution to call upon the Secretary
of War for the number Of draught horses
and mules now in use in the service, and the
cost and places where they were purchased.
Leave was not granted. A bill to sell GER
tain government property at Vincennes was
rejected. The Consular and Diplomatic APP
preparation bill was discussed at consider
able length by Messrs Springer, Cox, Kelley,
and others, and it was understood that but
one more day Of debate upon 1t would be
allowed.
Iu the Senate, February 10, the bill passed
last winter, but not signed, relating TO the
issue of writ OF mandamus by the United
States, was again offered and laid over. A
communication from the Secretary OF War,
inclosing a statement as to the number oil
organized militia, was received. The bill ex-
tending the time for the completion OF the
Northern Pacific Road passed. The Centen-
NAL bill was discussed, but no action taken. A
request was made that final action be taken
on Friday on the bill......In the House, the
entire day was taken up in the consideration
of the consular and diplomatic appropria-
ton bill. Mr.. Blaine delivered lengthy
address on financial matters, and was replied
to by Mr.. Tarbox. Several clauses OF the
bill were considered in Committee of the
Whole, and all motions for amendments
voted down. No action was taken on the

College HOOdluns.

1t is to be feared that Schuyler Colfax
does not now cherish as kindly feelings
towards the students of the Northwest
ern University as he has hitherto. As he
remarked to Mr.. Shuman at the tea-table
the other evening, the aforesaid institu-
ton has a reputation throughout the
land of being one of the few Of promi-
nence whose students are conspicuously
orderly. The warm (if not cordially re-
ception rendered Mr.. Colfax that even
ing, however, has probably caused
change in his opinion of the boys. II
seems that, in his school-bey days, the
former Vice-President Joined college
fraternity, but was unfortunate in his
selection. This society is represented at
the University, but is not popular among
the student community. Mr.. Colfax, to
please the boys, sported the society badge
during his lecture, and afterwards re-
paired to the society hall to shake hands
and take lunch with the boys. This
social seance was considerably disturbed
by an assemblage of rival fraternity men
and outsiders, who raised horrible din
outside the door, threw asafGtida into
the hall, and finally locked the whole
company in. After considerable tribu-
lation, Mr.. Col&x and suite reached the
front door of the building, only to find it
also locked, whereupon he was given
chance to explore very muddy back
yard. Dark as it was, Mr.. @. expressed
his determination to see the authors of
this shameful outrage" and went
around in front of the building, where
he tackled six.footer of twenty-five, as
follows: "Young man, when you are
grown up and get married you will be
ashamed to leave this as legacy to your
children" The "young man" explained
that no disrespect was intended Mr. O.,
but that the demonstration was for the
benefit of the society to which he be-
longed. After Mr.. Colfax had departed
in disgust, the boys had considerable of
a rumpus among themselves, with no
serious results, however.
1t is said that the names of the mob"
have been handed to the faculty by the
injured society, and it is probable that
some action may be taken in the matter.

A Valuable Work.

The Centennial History of the United
States, from the discovery Of the american
Continent to the close of the First Century of
American Independence, BY James ID. Nc
Cdbe, author of A Manual of General
History" " Pathways of the Holy Land"
etc., etc.
There has long been a great and univer-
sally-felt want of History of the United
States suitable for general use. The want
is now being supplied by the National
Publishing Co., of Columbus, o., who
have issued handsome volume, styled
"The Centennial History of the United
States" by James ID. McCabe, we'll
known historical writer. This work will,
undoubtedly, take rank as the Standard
History of the United States. 1t is no
dfs mass of details-no bombastic effort
to inhame the national pride, but is a
clear, vivid AID brilliant narrative of the
eventsOf our history from the discovery
of the American Continent down to the
present time.
We most heartily commend this book
to our readers 1t gives very interest
ing account of the Indians of North
America, from the time of the coming of
the white men. The voyage of Columbus,
the explorations of the different nations
Of Europe and the wanderings of the
Spaniards in search of gold and immortal
youth, are told with graphic powers.
Every step of our colonial history is
traced with patient fidelity, and the
sources of those noble, and we trust, en-
during institutions which have made
our country free and great, are shown with
remarkable clearness. The causes OF our
great struggle for Independence are told
with logical force and ability unsur-
passed in any work of the day. Then fol-
lows clear and succinct account of the
formation of the Federal Constitution (;
the establishment of the Union; the
course of affairs until the breaking out OF
the Second War with England and full
and comprehensive account of that War
and its results. The events of our career
| from the close of that contest to the COM
mencement of the Civil War, follow in
their order. The history of the Civil War
is related with intense vigor, and with a
strict fidelity to truth; and the work
closes with an account of the course of at
Il
fairs since the end of that great conflict.
The author writes throughout with the
calmness and impartiality of historian,
and pleads the cause of no party Or Sec
ton. He states facts, points out the les
sons which they teach, and appealing to
neither passion nor political feeling, trusts
to the good sense of his countrymen to sus-
tain his views. In order to render the work
complete in every respect, the author has
added to it an appendix, giving an &C.
count of the approaching International
Centennial Exhibition.
1t is comprised in one large, handsome
octave volume of 925 pages, and contains
442 fine engravings OH steel and wood of
historical parsonage and scenes. The price
is so low that all can afford to purchase
copy, and each subscriber is presented
with superb photographic engraving of
the Centennial Exhibition Buildings and
Grounds. The book is sold by subscrip-
ton only, and the publishers want agents
in every county. See advertisement in
another column.

1t happened that at one corner of the
table little ten-year old lad was at that
moment industriously employed in put

would do the most good, and so busy
had this urchin been that through the
entire dinner hour he had said not a
