HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr.. Hale rose To q privileged
question and read q letter addressed
to him from J Madison Wells and
Thos. c. Anderson, stating they
were confined III a damp dark dun.
geOn of the cellar Of the capitol:
that Yesterday by order OF the
Speaker they had been transferred
to a much better room and that they
had been brought back to the cells
by order of the Sergeant alarms,
and that on account of the bad air
In the cell Coy. Wells was now
sick in bed.
Mr.. BALE said his attention mad
been called by this letter to the
matter. He had gone to the cell In
which the prisoners were confined.
and had found ita damp, dark room,
into which the sunlight could never
penetrate, which had to be Illumin-
ated by gas. The air was poison.
Gus, and one of the prisoners, an old
man, over 20 years Of age, Iald on
his bed OF sickness. 1t was inhu-
man to keep them in such q room
and he therefore offered q resolution
the sergeant-at-arms to re-
move the prisoners toa well lighted
and ventilated room, where their
health may not be endangered.
Mr.. Cox said that it was in this
same cell that the Republican Con-
gress had incarcerated Stewart and
Irwin. The prisoners were confined
and in close custody by the sergeant
alarms, but they could release
themselves by simply purg'n
themselves Of contempt Of the house

DIRECTIONS.

When objections were called fol,
David Dudley Field srose and sent
to the clerks desk to be read q vo-
luminous document, which partook
more OF the nature Of an argument
than an objection. The ciets could
not be heard we'll, and not much
attention wss paid to his rhetoric,
anyway. The Republican objec-
tons were presented by senator
Sargent and Representative ksseon,
there oeing one for each Of the two
democratic returns. They were
shof., embracing no argument.
Then Senator Jones, OF Florida,
arose and in his owh individual be-
half presented an objection to the
vote of one Of the Republican slec-
tors, on the ground :hst he was a
Z. &. commissioner
Thus ended the objections, and 1t
was at once apparent that nothing
more was to be done. Mr. Ferry
announced that under the law, the
dIsruted Florida returns must go to
the tribunal for decision, and that
pending their deliberations, the
Joint convention stood adjourned,
The Senate %thereupon withdrew,
the House resumed its separate sit.
Ting, and the initial proceedings In
the struggle to seat q President were
at All end.
1t is thought the case of Florida
will occupy perhaps a week before
the tribunal, when the convention
will re~-assethble and take up the
balance of the States ih order.

True as Gospel.

The Mew York Nail in a long arti.
Gle on dead heads says "Members
of the press" are literally hunted down
by all sorts OF people who have axes
to grind. The managers Of 4 public
meeting who do not find the reporters
at the table, suffer s,ings of disap-
pointment the judge who sonorously
blows his nose before the stenograph-
ers the preacher, who descants upon
some special subject, loses spirit if the
representatives of the press are not
there even the burglar on the way
to the state prison, coyets 4 talk with
the newspaper man." Yet the out
sid barbarian thinks all newspaper
men are dead-heads, and cnvies them
the fine times they have in the way of
free dinners and free tickets to all
manners of shows. There never was
a greater mistake. People do not
seem to realize that, on the part ofthe
journalist, it is merely matter of
business that the editor or reporter
goes to these places, so attractive to
the outsider, much as the horse goes
to the plow-because he must do SO.
We venture to say that four-fifths of
these entertainments are TO journalists
intolerable bores. The press is the
victim of the public's rapacious and
unceasing demands for services with
out pay. Let us have the boot on the
right foot.

Kindness to Animals.

Van Amburgh could handle his
lions and tigers with impunity. No
animal will fail to respond to kind
ness and uniform good treatment.
And especially will the noble horse
respect and coniide in and faithfully
serve master who deals gently and
kindly with him. We have ourselves
taken spirited Morgan mare which
had been rudely handled and became
unmanageab,e through harsh treat
ment, and, by appealing to her intelli
gence and respecting her needs, in
three weeks time made her entirely
safe and reliable for wife and children,
and all would treat her kindly and
handle her gently, and we have after
five years, seen the same mare resume
her old vicious habits when again un.
der the control of one who resorted to
arbitrary Or brutal treatment Always
appeal to the better instincts of the
horse, the mule, the OK, the COW, as
well as the dog and other domestic
animals, and they will never become
vicious or unmanageable - Semi

AT THE DAWNHNG.

Lies on the ground the winter snow,
Wreathed is the churchyard yew
With shroud Of white, and on the stones
Glittors the bright ice-dew.
From yonder latticed easement, see,
There CLEANS a gentle ray
A midnight lamp that burneth low,
For passing there away,
There lieth sweet, gentle girl,
One pastors daughter far,
The child of many atender toar-
OF many pious prayer.
Life's hour-glass turns, the sands run out
Their tale is nearly spent,
Yet beameth on that white, still face
j. look Of such content
AS giveth heaven alone to those
Who rest on the Savior 3 breast
ThoEo whom the loving Husbandman
Doth garner up his rest.
Folded the wasted fingers white,
Move the pale lips in prayer;
Though Deaths black wings oershroud tina
couch,
Life is triumphant there.
The dawn-glow lines the eastern sky
With crimson and with gold;
Run from the glass the last frail sands,
The story brief is told
OF that young life. Yet-glorious thought
The Everlasting King
Shall cause to bloom that withcred flower
In His eternal Spring.

AS fond mother, when the day is DER
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to bo LODI
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassurod and comforted
BY promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please
him more;
SO Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings, one by one, and by the hant
Leads us to rest 80 gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full Of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what

A MEMORY.
If he had come i'll the early dawn,
When the sunrise flushed the earth,
would have given him all my heart,
Whatever the heart was worth.
If he had come at the noon-tide hour,
He would not have come too late;
would have given him patient faith,
For then had learned to wait.
Ii he had come in the after glow,
In the peace of the eventide,
would have given him hands and brains
And worked for him till | died.
If he comes now, the sun is SET
And the light has died away,
will not give him broken life,
But will turn and say him "Nay."
