WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Democrats of the
House Committee on the judiciary, after consider
ing the subject among themselves for several
weeks, concluded to make an adverse report on the
Kmmel Bill, and the memorial of the Maryland
Legislature Mr. j. Proctor Knott is understood TO
have prepared the document, which plainly
sets forth that the title of President
Hayes cannot be assailed account of
anything that happened previous TO his
Inauguration. This subject was first brought TO
the attention Of the full committee at one of its
meetings late last week, and the discussion of it
was continued to-day without a conclusion being
reached. Reports were circulating at the Capitol
to-day that the Democrats of the committee
are not so united in their support of Mr..
Knott's report. and especially that part of it
referring to President Hayes's title, they were
few DAYS ago before the Potter Committee began
its sO-called exposures. and before some Of Mr. TIL
den's friends arrived in Washington and made
known his wishes. The committee will have an
other meeting for the consideration of the same
subject tomorrow morning when vote on the
subject may be reached.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-SOme Of the Democrats

AN EPISODE IN WHICH TIE PARAMOUNT NATURE OF
STATE ALLEGIANCE Is EXCTTEDLY ASSERTED.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The House made satis-
factory progress with the Sundry Civil Appropria-
tion Bill to-day until it reached those paragraphs
providing for appropriations for the continuance OF
work upon public buildings. Then every Repre-
sentative in whose district there is an incomplete
public building, many Republicans who believe that
the present is favorable time for the completion OF
public buildings and the dcmagogues of the House
who advocate appropriations of public money Tor
the purpose of relieving distressed labor, joined
hands in an attempt to increase the amount allowed
in each of these cases. Nearly the whole afternoon
was spent in a debate ostensibly upon an amend
ment to increase the appropriation for the Govern
ment buildings at Atlanta but really on the general
subject of liberal allowances for public works the
arguments partakIng of the views of the three
classes of Representatives who spoke.
The House agreed by decided majority TO the
amendment increasing the appropriation Tor the
Atlanta building aud the prospect Is that a similar
increase will be made in the appropriation Tor
each other building.
One OF the most striking episodes OF the discussion
occurred during five minutes speech made by SIR.
Singleton of Mississippi who was member OF
Congress before the war, and an active seceSsonlst.
He announced mis- opposition to appropriations for
public buildings, because, he said, his State never
received any of the benefits from them.
Mr. Charles Foster asked Mr.. Singleton why he did
not remain in the Union in 1860
Mr. Singleton replied with COOL deal Of excite
ment. that his State called him and he Obeyed. lie

for increasing the allowances for public buildings
which made its appearance to-day holds together,
this plan will not succeed.

The United States Lifs-saving Service.

During the year ending June, 1877, the
total number of vessels driven ashore was
one hundred and thirty-four, having one
thousand FIVE hundred persons on board,
thirty-nine, or about two and a half per
cent, of whom we're lost. The total
amount of property saved was over one
million seren hundred thousand dollars
A brief summary &C the. operations of the
service since Mr. s. j. Kimball took charge
of it in 1871 will better show its useful
ness, however. Four hundred wrecks oc-
CURED, imperilling over eleven million one
hundred thousand dollars worth of prop
erty; nearly seven million dollars worth
of this was saved, and of four thousand
seven hundred and thirty lives imperilled
only eighty were lost. Two thousand eight
hundred and sixty-seven days of shelter
were afforded at the stations to nine hun
dred and fifty-nine persons. During 1871
~ the operations of the service were con-
fined to the coasts of Long Island and New
Jersey; in 1872-74 they were extended to
Cape Cod and Rhode Island, and in the
next year they were further extended to
the limits of the present districts.
The stations are nearly all alike-sim-
pie wooden houses, with steep gable roofs,
the only projection about them being the
lightning-rod, and the only ornament
coat of red-brown paint From May until
November they are unoccupied, though all
the apparatus is ready for use; and the
rest of the year each becomes the home of
a keeper and six surf-men, who are paid
forty dollars a month, and are chosen for
their experience on the beach Their du-
ties are concisely stated in the instructions
of the Treasury Department, to which
branch of the government the Life-saving
Service belongs. "During the winter
months the beach will be patrolled by the
surf-men every night. The patrol will
consist of two men from each station, one
following the beach toward the next station
to the right, and the other proceeding to-
ward the next station to the left, and each
continuing his walk until the patrol from
the adjacent station is met. Each patrol
man will carry beach lantern, also a red
Coston handlight; and when an inlet sepa-
rates the stations, he will exchange signals
with the patrolman on the opposite shore.
On those parts CT the coasts where the
two adjacent houses can not be seen from
each other, the beach viii be patrollel
sufficiently to bring them in sight three
times between sunrise and sunset. On the
discovery of wreck or n vessel in distress,
the patrolman viii Immediately burn his
red Coston hand-light, both to alarm the
stations and give notice to the wreck that
succor is near, then returning to the sta
tion and assisting in the preparation of the
apparatus. Boats, etc., will be prepared
for immediate service. '-Harper's Maga-

Rufus Ohoate as an Orator.

Alexander II. Stephens writes in the
Baltimore Gazette Il entered Congress
in 1943, when l was of the age of thirty
one years, when the second generation of
the great statesmen were still on the boards,
tapping the Revolutionary age. They were
then in the full vigor of intellect, and still
figuring prominently on the public stage.
John Quincy Adams was a member of the
House of Representatives. Calhoun, Clay
and Webster were the three great leaders
of particular political ideas.
They were known as the great Ameri.
can trio of their respective schools. One
of the first deep impressions made upon
my mind was by Rufus Choate, of Massa-
chusetts. Early in my first session l had
gone into the Senate to see Mr.. Berrieu,
of Georgia. While l was about leaving
the Senate Chamber the order of the day
was called, and before l reached the door
the tones of the voice of speaker attrac-
ted my attention. 1 turned in the direc-
ton of the orator, and saw before me a

pallid cheek, a bearing as if fully charged

Rufus Choate.
l soon became very much interested in
his speaking. His manner and style we're
grand, and became more so as he progress
sed. Every one was enraptured with his
eloquence. He was replying to a speech
made by Mr.. Buchanan on a resolution to
give notice to the English Government of
termination of joint occupancy of Ore
gon. Mr.. Buchanan had taken the ex-
treme view, calculated to arouse a war feel
ing. He spoke of deep-seated enmity
in the breasts of our people over the wrongs
inflicted by England in former days, and
that ill,blood and hate existed in this
country in consequence of these wrongs.
The Globe of 1843, in reporting the reply
of Mr.. Choate, says it can not finish the
report of the speech, owing to the sudden
indisposition of its reporter. | can repeat

Almost every morning, the osprey, or

and fishes in the shallow water near the

as the king6sher. have seen him dive
dozen times or more into the water be-

and around in the air; at last fixing his
eyes upon fish, he swoops down, making
the water splash around him. His feet
are large and powerful, and he arranges
his long toes In the form of scoop as he
plunges into the river; this scoop is his
tishing-tackle with which he brings up
his finny food. After he has succeeded
In catching a fish, bald eagle often
swoops down from some tall tree, where

force compels this honest fisher to gve up
his hard-won prey. The eagle is consid-
erably larger than his victim, being about
three feet in length, while the osprey is
only about two feet. Il is quite a grand
sight to see these two large birds wheeling
through the air-the osprey trying to elude
the eagle, diving first one way and then
another, until at last, when he sees the un-
encumbered eagl gle must oyerpower him, in
tit of desperation he lets the fish drop,
and the eagle catches it before it reaches

Hunting the sea-otter in Alaska.

The sea-otter, which constitutes the sole
means by which these, the only civilized
people of our new Territory manage to
elothe themselves as we do and maintain
their Church, may be appropriately men
toned in detail It is an animal, when
full grown, that viii measure from three
and half to four feet at most from the
tip of its short tail to its nose. The gen
eral contour of the body is much like that
of the beaver, with the skin lying in loose
folds, so that, when taken hold Of in lift
ing the body out from the water, it draws
up like the hide on the nape young
puppy-dog. The skin is covered with the
richest of all fine deep fur, Jet black,
with silver-tipped hairs here and there
scattered, as is so well known to our ladies
of fashion.
The sea-otter mother sleeps in the water
on her back, with her young one clasped
between her tiny forepaws. Frequent at
tempts have been made to rear the young
sea-otters, as they are often captured alive;
but, like some other species of wild ami
mails, they seem to be so deeply imbued
with fear of man, they invariably perish
by self-imposed starvation.
The Sannack islets aud reefs constitute
the great sea-otter-ground of Alaska. and
hither come native hunting parties from
Oonalaska on the west, and RaleeFslsi to
the north, where they camp on the main
island, and venture out in their bidarkies
fifteen and twenty miles in every direction
to sea. Fires are never built here unless
the wind is from the south, and food re-
fuse is never scattered on the beaches.
The sufferings to which the native hunt
ers subject themselves every winter on this
island, going for many weeks without fires,
even for cooking, with the thermometer
down to zero in a northerly gale of wind,
are better imagined than described; while
the various shrewd and skillful articles by
which they outwit the otter in capturing
1t, would make lengthy chapter if fully
enumerated, for this animal, Of all wild
animals, seems to be possessed of the great
est aversion to or dread of the presence or
even the proximity of man.
The natives, when they 90 from Ooua-
laska to Saanack on hunting trip of this
character, usually make up party of
from forty to fifty men. They travel in
light skin bidarkies, two men in each, and
are gone usually three to four months at
time before returning to their families;
they haul their kyacks out from the water
every night as they bivouac along the
coast, and sleep in gales of wind, which
are ALWAYS loaded with rain sIaaf and foo,
without the least covering, and almost in
variably without fire. All rude indeed
is the country of the Aleut, but he is as
rugged, and the bleak, precipitous islands
stamped with his name are all the world
to him. He wants no other, and he is
happy where we would be supremely mis-
erable.-Hdrper's Magazine.

slamming it.
2. Never stamp, jump or run in the

the same to you.
5. When told TO do OF not TO do thing
by either parent, never ask why you should
do or should not do it.
6. Tell of your own faults, not those of
your brothers or sisters.
