Conversational Notes.
WASHINGTON, July 19.--After the ex.
piration Of the morning hour, the Sen
ate resumed the consideration of the
articles of impeachment against the
Secretary Of War.
The Senate adopted the conference
report on the army bill. There are now
left the legislative, sundry civil, diplo-
matte, West Point and river and harbor
bills.
Mr.. Brown, of Kentucky, who has
charge Of the Platte VS.. Goode report,
will call it up on Saturday. 1t is sup
posed argument will occupy three days.
The Judiciary Committee report favor
ably on the bill placing the assignees Of
awards of the Mexican Claims Commits
sion in the same relation to the Govern
ment as the originals.
These claims, for about seven millions,
are now held at 80 and 35.cents. and no
purchasers. Should the proposed bill
pass, they will be worth 81 cents, be-
cause the great savings and insurance
companies can then invest in them.
Large amounts have been sold conrin-
gent upon the passage Of this bill.
The Judiciary Committee in the case
of Congressman Hayes, from Alabama,
report that while the evidence was not
sufiicient to find that he willfully made
a fraudulent certificate, it still excited
grave suspicion, and shows in any pos
sible view carelessness that should
not be tolerated; but taking the testi-
mony altogether the committee recon-
mend that no further action be taken
q the matter.

Something New About Pears.

Mr.. p. T. Quinn tells us the
following story in his "Rual Top
les" in Scrabner for July: A few
years ago, gentleman living in
the Suburbs of New York, anxious
to hrve large pcar-trecs that
wou d bear fruit soon, contracted
with Il tree agent for some Bart
let's, the price OF which was liked
at $40 apice. The trees came in
due time and We're set out. In
two years from time of planting,
they bore small russet pear, that
hung on the trees until late in Oc-
tober. About this time, the very
same agent made his appearance,
and being reminded ofthe contract
to furnish Bartletts, he asked to
be allowed to examine the trees
and fruit, the latter hanging on
the trees.
He examined both carefully and
suddenly turning toward his vic
tim said with stern expression,
"Well. sir, when | sold you those
trees, l supposed you were a we'll
read, intelligent man; but now |
am of different opinion" This
very singular remark brought
forth the query, "Why:!" from the
owner. "Why!" was the rcponse
