Spirits With U.s.
RY SARAH o. JEWETr.

IL sometimes happens that two friends will meet
- AND with a smile and touch OF hands, again
Go on their way along the noisy street:
Each is so sure of all the friendship sweet,
The loving silence gives no thought of pain.
And SO, think, those friends whom we call dead
Are with u.s. 1t may be some quiet hour
Or time of busy work for hand or head
Their love fills all the heart that missed them so;
They bring a sweet assurance of the life
Serene, above the worry that we know;
And we grow Drawer for the comfort brought.
Why should we mourn because they do not speak
Our words that lie so far below their thought?

Congress Yesterday.

In the United States Senate, yesterday
an order was adopted directing the sec
retary of the Senate to attend before the
Potter Investigating committee with the
papers in regard to the election of presi-
dental electors in Louisiana, and submit
said papers to said committee, the Senate
reserving all questions touching the regu-
larity of the action of the committee in
calling for the papers. An amendment
was adopted to the % sectionlof the army
appropriation bill, (Which proposed to
transfer the Indian bureau to the War
Department. providing for the appoint
ment of joint commission of three sena-
tors and four Representatives to inquire
into the expediency of such transfer.
In the House, after personal explana-
tions from Messrs. Kelley and Wood, the
general deficiency bill was taken up, and
when that portion of the bill making ap-
preparations for the payment of claims
against the bureau of engineering of the
Navy Department was reached Mr.. Will
lis, (democrat,) of New York, led the
movement in favor of wholesale increase
raising the amount from $476,548 to ST.
423, ,S76, and his amendment was adopted.
Among the bene ficiaries by this increase
is John Roach, who put in claim for
$685., 900. Another amendment offered
by Mr.. Willis and adopted raised the
amount for the payment of further claims
against that bureau from $558, ,354 to 1881, :
134, of which Mr.. Roach is to get $500, ,318
An evening session was held, which was
remarkable chiefly for the disorder which
characterized the proceedings, the dis
pute being over what business should be
considered. Finally, without accom-
plishing anything, the House adjourned.
The daily gazette., 1878-06-08
Notes of the Day.

Some one suggests that Fernando
Wood may go take walk now, or go on
his summer vacation since the Tariff bill
over which he wasted SO much midnight
OIL is defeated,
The New York Tribune says that such
monstrosities as the Wood Tari II bill
seldom survive their birth, and hence it
is remarkable fact that this one actual
ly lived five months.
General Gordon's reelection to the
Senate seems foregone conclusion. His
friends claim that his election will be al
most unanimous, Notwithstanding his
vote in favor of the John Roach sub
sidy.
Postmaster General Key in CONVEX
sation with a Chicago Inter Ocean report
er the other tday, gave it as his opinion
that the Republicans will have a MAORI
ty of the next House. With Mr.. Key the
wish is doubtless father to the thought.
The jury in the suit of Mrs. Kate
Sprague against Welch, for the posses
sion of "Edgewood" farm, gave verdict
on wednesday for the plaintiff by order
of Judge Humphreys. "Edgewood" was
formerly occupied by Chief Justice
Chase.
A thief entered Senator Burnside's
house in Washington Monday night and
made off with pocketbook containing
$3.50. He was probably hunting for the
senator's incompatible side whiskers
under the impression that they were
false, and were taken off and put on like
a wig.
