surviving soldiers of the Mexican war
and widows of deceased soldiers. A bill
was presented for the relief of the Union
Transfer Company of Baltimore. A bill
was passed relating to assessments in the
District of Columbia, extending the
time from July to August. Mr.. Howe,
republican, of Wisconsin, made speech
severely critcising The Presidents policy
House bill for the diplomatic and con-
sular service was reported, with amend
ments, including restoration of the
pay of these officials to that provided by
existing laws. The Senate committee
on appropriations concur in the House
provisions extending the diplomatic
service in South American.
In the House, Mr.. Schleicher introduc-
ed bill to regulate value of subsidiary
silver coin. 1t provides that such coin
shall be legal tender for any amount not
exceeding $40, and that whenever pre-
senied in amounts of 800 the Secretary

tender money. The House, by vote of
yeas 14O, nays 1O2, refused to suspend
the rules and pass bill to authorize the

SOMETHING NEW FOR NORTHERN AM.
ERICA.
The monkey Daisy" at the Philadel-
phia Geological Garden, was safely de-
livered of girl baby monkey on Thurs
day. the hrst one known to be born live
In America north of the Gulf of Mexico.
The father, who is named "Cocoanut," !"
Is 20 years old and weighs 90 pounds, the
mother, "Daisy," is Is years old and
weighs 10 pounds. She has been kept by
herself lately. Both are from Sumatra,
and are of the "pigtaip species.
The baby is christened American
Girl, weighs just II ounces and is about
seven inches long. Its body, with the
exception of the face and hands, which
are perfectly bare and almost white, is
well covered with very fine dark hair.
The hair on the head is fluffy and black,
dding much to Baby's beauty. The
little things bright brownish eyes pierce
the spectators askance az 1t tugs at the
patient mothers breast. She keeps the
baby scrupulously clean by licking it all
over with her tongue, and frequently
gives vent to her affection by kissing the
darling on mouth, eyes, ears, nose and
cheek. No one but Keeper Rslling dare
touch Baby, but even he Is not permitted
TO take 1t from mammals arms, although
he offer never so many "goodIes" az
bribes. The monkeys thronged at the
bars trying to catch Baby in their hands.
but were prevented from doing SO by a
precautionary wire screen placed there
temporarily. Crowds of visitors visit the
little stranger.

The Paris Exposition Job.

1t was easy to foresee that the appro-
priation for the Paris Exposition would
be converted into a job, and the privi-
leges conferred at discretion shamefully
abused. In addition to the grant of one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
money, the act of Dec. 10, 1877, .provld-
ed
"That the President be authorized, in
his discretion, to assign one or more of
the public vessels to transport to and
from France, free of cost, under regula-
tons to be prescribed by the Commits
sioner- -Ge eneral, such articles as may be
offered for exhibition by the citizens of
the United States"
1t was expressly stated during the de-
bate on tins piece of extravaganza, that
not more than two ships, or, in certain
contingency, three, would be needed for
transporting the exhibits. Instead of
two or three, five ships have already
been detailed for this service, and sever
al of them have been fitted out at large
expense to carry passengers at the charge
of the Treasury. The equipment Of the
Constitution alone, with additional ac-
commodations for officers and others on
the free list, cost tens of thousands of
dollars.
The commanders of these ships are al
lowed clerks and other extras, which,
iutttu W ille outlay lol httIliiB tHtll vi
active duty, with full complement of
officers and seamen, will aggregate a
round sum far exceeding the appropria-
ton. When the bills are all footed up,
it will be found that the expense of tran
sporting the articles for exhibition in
this prodigal way will surpass their en-
tire value. 1t is now transparent that
the real object of assigning ships of war
to do the business of "A common carrier
was to provide pleasant places for favor
ed officers, and to billet friends of the
Fraudulent Administration on the Trea-
sury as deadheads.
Every ton of freight could have been
carried on the French line direct to
Havre at mere fractional part of the
expense of fitting out the single ship
| Constitution. This feature of the bill
was wilful deception, for the authors
of it must have known what the actual
cost of freight is from New York to
Havre, and they could easily have ascer
tanned the running expenses of the ships
assigned for transportation. The whole
thing is a Job, and the head of it, while a
Delegate in Congress from Arizona, was
notorious as the manager of the Terri
torial Ring, and also as one of the active
agents of the Washington Ring H9
will be a very proper representative Of
Hayes in Paris.-N. Y San.

TIE sIHSI GIN.

The Republicans OF Topeka held their
primary meeting, for the election OF dele
gates 10 the State Convention, on Saturday
evening last, and selected delegation SOL
id for Col. Martin. Our readers may have
noticed that the dispatches from Topeka
Sunday morning were remarkably reticent
in regard 10 the completion" of the
delegates chosen; we were informed
that the delegates 10 the Congressional
convention were "all for Mr.. Ryan," but
the dispatch conveyed no information as TO
who the State convention delegates were
for. The Governors central organ
is at Topeka, and it would have been very
disagreeable for its editor to telegraph the
fact that this stronghold had gone solidly
for Col. Martin; but such was the result,
