HOW THE HOUSE SPENT THE DAY.
TWO PROPOSITIONS ABOUT THE INDIANS DEBATED
WITH SPIRIT.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The House spent the day
upon the Indian Appropriation bill, and passed it,
The discussion was mainly confined to two PROPOSE
tions The first was to make Appropriation for
the expenses of the Peace Commission and the sec
ond to prevent the President from colonizing Ind-
ans in the Indian Territory except by special act Of
Congress.
On the question of the Peace Commissioners and
their compensation the Southern Democrats were
particularly bitter. They thought it was enough
that the Peace Commissioners should know that
their names would be handed down through the
statutes TO future generations as intelligent and
patriotic men. The House. however thought that
the expenses at least, of the Peace Commissioners
ought TO be paid. and voted to allow them 81, 800
each for that purpose.
The proposition with regard to colonization pro-
vided that all Indians should be sent to the Indian
Territory, and that sufficient military force should
be stationed there to preserve order among them.
very animated and sometimes bitter contest sprang
up during the discussion of this proposition and 1t
was finally defeated. An amendment was adopted,
providing that no Indians from Arizona and New
Mexico should hereafter be coOnized in the Indian
Territory unless it should be authorized by special
act of Congress-,

plete answer to some of the accusations that have
been published recently in regard to alleged frauds
in the Government Print ng Office Among
other things it has been announced that
nine stitching machines had been purchased
for something less than $1,000. In examining wit

that Mr.. Finley had idea that the machines were
similar to q common sewing machine, while In
fact they are large and expensive, and
used for fastening sheets of documents together by
means of small pieces Of wire The statistics pub

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-1he House Committee on
Civil Service Reform of which Mr.. Carter Harrison,
of Chicago, is chairman, has completed its report
upon the alleged corruption in connection with the
passage of the bill last session to provide perma-
nent form of government for the District OF COlnm-
bia. The assertion, made by 4he Washington IOst
last Summer. and republished i'll other parts of the
country, was that a large sum of money was raised
by persons interested IN the 365 bonds of the Dis
trict, to which the First National Bank of New
York contributed, for the purpose of bribing men,
bers of the District Committee of the House to re-
port the bill favOrably. This accusation re-
printed in Chicago, and was used by the political
opponents of Mr.. Bretano to prevent his renomina-
tion to Congress-,
In order that he might be vindicated Mr. Bren-
tapo introduced a resolution at the beginning of the
session directing the Committee on Civil Service
Reform to make an inquiry. In the report to the
House to-day, after saying that the Editor of The
Post the writer of the article the president of the
FIRST National Bank of New-York, the members of
the District Committee and Others had been eXanl-
ined, the committee remarks:
Your committee earnest in It's endeavor TO bring

LATE HOURS.


All animals, except those that prowl
at night, retire to rest soon after the
sun goes down, from which we may
conclude that Nature intended that
the human species should follow their
example. 1t is from the early hours
of sleep which are the most sweet and
refreshing, that the REORGANIZATION of
muscular energy and bodily strength
takes place, as we'll as that due excita.
bility of the brain Indispensable to the
eXertion of our waking hours. Sleep
has been called the chief nourisher in
life's feast but how few find in such |!
In order that sleep may be refreshing
it is necessary to take sufficient exer-
else in the open air during the day, TO
eat light supper, or none at all,
avoiding tea or coffee late iii the eve
ming, TO sleep on a hair mattress, with
light covering Of bed clothes, in a
room freely ventilated. It is we'll
known that the Duke of Wellington,
till hale old man, was accustomed to
sleep on narrow hard pellet; and VIC
believe the couch OF her Majesty is also
o! the simplest possible construction.
Il is reported that the Duke justified d
the narrowness of his resting place on
the plea that when man wishes to
turn, it is then high time TO turn out.
We seldom hear the laborious peasant
complain of restless nights. The in
dolent, pampered epicure, or the man
who overtasks bis brain and denies
himself bodily exercise, is liable to
sleeplessness.

-&S0n1f ~ omy-O -O00 49,
In this broad land has heard
In favor of down-trodden boys
One solitary word?
We hear enough Of :" woman's rights
And rights OF working-men,"
or" equal rights" and nations rights -
But pray, just tell me when
Boys rights were ever spoken Of?
Why, we've become so used
To being snubbed by every one.
Aad sliEhted and abused.
That when one is polite to us.
We open wide our eyes.
And stretch them in astonifhment
To nearly twice their size!
Boys seldom dare to ask their friends
To venture in the house;
It don't come natural at all
To creep round like mouse,
And If we should forget ourselves
And make little noise,
Then ma or auntie sure would say,
"Oh. my those dreadful boys"
The girls bang ON the piano
In peace, but the boys
Attempt q tune with fife and drum,
It's-"Stop that horrid noiser'
That horrid noies ~ just think Of it!
When sister never fails
To make . noise three times as bad
With everlasting scales"
Insulted thus. we lose no time
In beating retreat!
So on we go to romp and tear,
And scamper in the street,
No wonder that so many boys
Such wicked men become;
'Twer better far to let them have
Their games and plays at home,
Perhaps that text the preacher quotes
Sometimes-''Train up q child,''
Means only train the little girls,
And let the boys rnn wild.
But patience and the time shall come
When We will all be men;
And when it does rather think
Wrongs will be righted then.
