THE LENGTH OF THE SEssIoN-There is a
great difference of opinion among members of
Congress as to the probable length of the pres
ent session. General Banks says that he never
saw House with less disposition to transact
business promptly than the present one Gen.
Banks does not think that Congress will adj.
lourn before the middle of August MIR. Kei-
ley, Whols the father of the House, and has
had an opportunity to observe the workings of
various Congresses IN the past says that he
does not think that Congress will adjourn be-
lore the middle of July, unless the weather
becomes hot enough to drive members ont of
town. Senator Mcpherson believes that Con
gress will not adjourn before August. Senator
Thurman thinks the present session will be
pr0tracted into hot weather. 1t is generally
believed that the discussion On the Pacific
railroad sinking fund bill will not be concluded
within two weeks time. 1t is said that there
are fifteen Senators who are yet to speak upon
the sinking fund bills. The Pacific railroad
bills will consume great deal of time i'm dis
cussiOn in each of the two branches of Con.
greSs., A month at least Is expected to be Oc.

A Tree Toad's Comfortable Quar-

Mrs. Mckay, on Center street, has
beautiful fuchsia, which has on it
at this time over. 200 blossoms and
buds. Among the foliage of her
plants on the veranda, snugly en-
sconced in a geranium leaf, is di-
minutive specimen of the little ba-
trachian commonly called the tree
toad. The leaf, unaccustomed to its
strange burden, has changed its hue
from green to pale yellow, aud the
little animal has changed its color to
correspond with that of the leaf.
We never knew one to leave the trees
or bushes before. This one sings his

Campaign Amenities.

1t is decidedly refreshing, highly
edifying, and extremely amusing to
read the editorial comments of some
partisan newspapers, the editors of
which sllow thef political prejudicss
to get the better of their sound judy
ment. The yarns which they spin,
and the inyectives they use against
candidates Of the opposition, show
that neither truth or polished Ian
guage are regarded as essential in
gradients Of their verbose and de-
famatory illusions.
This method is not confined to any
one locality; and it has become a
generally accepted theory that the
man who runs for Office, he it town
constable, Congressman, Governor, or
what not, is supposed to be an i'm
pregnable target at which the point
ed shafts of wit and calumny can be
hurled with impunity. 1t is depre-
cable that such is the case. A can
didate for public Office should be
free from unjust attacks or foul allu-
sions. His public acts, and his pri-
vste life to some extent, should be
open to a fair and candid criticism
no more. If he be weighed in the
balance and found wanting, the fault
Is his-not that of those who make
the comments. The maligning of a
man is as unjust as it is unwise, and
ii generally recoils upon those who
seek to iDjure others by false or ma
licious statements.
Some writer's and speakers unfor-
tunately mistake scurrility for wit,
and invective for strength of Ian
guage, but they ultimately discover
their egregious mistake. 1t is quite
common, too, for public speakers
while on the stump to make illusions
to opponents in such language as
would under no other circumstances
than in. heterogeneous political
gathering be tolerated. This is all
wrong, and we hope the day may ar
rive when il shall cease. The Senti-
mel is a shining example in.lthis re-
gard, and one worthy of imitation
by every journal in the land. 1t has
ever been the settled policy of this
journal to misrepresent no aspirant
for public place, be he political friend

A Tough Dog Story.

An old fellow just up from the Kern
river country, says that one day while
down in that region he went out hunt
ing. He procured fine gentle horse
and borrowed dog that was highly
recommended as q noser-out of almost
any kind of game, from quail to a
full grown buck Indian. He was told
that the dog once belonged to some
Mexicans who had taught him to ride
and that in case Of his becoming tired
he might be taken upon the horse un-
til likely place for game was reach
cd. The hunt was indiforently suc-
cessfnl, though the dog seemed to be
quite industrious he was long bod~
led, short legged, long tailed animal,
of on old fashioned yellow color. He
showed no desire to ride until O start
was made tor home, vixen he came
whining about and was taken up on
-the horse behind our hunter. All
went we'll enough for q time, but pres.
emily the horse started off on keen
run. When stopped he stood quietly
enough but as soon as started up he
broke into a ran again and could not
be held in.
Says the old man: "What had got
in to the tarnal critter, didn't know;
but presently, happening to look back,
l caught that Internal yaller dog stan.
din on all fours, whippin' the boss
jiSt as hard as he could lay on with
that long, Timber tail O. his'p, he was
bound to get out of that boss all the
run there was in him."

a Horrible holocaust.

IL appears that on the night Of
Thursday, the Sd instant, q house on
the plantation Of Mr.. D. p. Sprawls,
some three miles from Williston. s..
O., was consumed by fire, together
with the occupants, Stepen Enecks,
his wife and two children. On Sa--
turday an inquest was held by Cor
oner Jack Fleming, which was adj
jonrned until next day on account
OF the absence OF several witnesses.
From the evidence of the witnesses
and the circumstances connected
with the burning, it was presumed
that the fire was accidental In ite
origin, and that there was no foul
play connected with this cad affair.
The matter, hover, underwent in
ves,igation, developing suspicion
which terminated in the arrest of
two negro men who confessed to q
crime, the wanton cruelty and re-.
voting villainy of which have hard
ly ounterparts in modern criminal
depredations. The parties suspected
were captured Thursday in Barn
we'll, and according to their state
ments the object Of going to Stephen
Eneck's honse was 10. steal asum of
money which he was Said to possess.
Their first act was to murder Ste
phen and his wife, after which they
proceeded to ransack the. house in
their plnndering scheme, This ac-
compiished, they returned to their
victims and covered them with bed
clothes saturated, With turpentine.---
Aster firing this mass they locked MP
within the house an infant and q
little child to perish upon the funeral
pyre of the burned parents, and tho
sum of their fendishness was COM
