CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-HoUsE.
After the passage of Woods reso-
luton postponing consideration of
the Senate resolution in relation to
time for final adjournment, a de-
mand for the regular order was
made by Blackburn.
1t was announced by the Speaker
to be on seeonding the previous
question on the resolution offered
by Potter on Monday last. The
Speaker put the question to stand
ing vote and announced lis in the
affirmative, whereupon call for
division was made. The tellers re-
ported the result, ayes 12l, nay |.
Then the objection of no quorum
was made. A call of the House was
ordered. The call proved the pres
ence of 260 members. The question
required on seconding the demand
for the previous question and, the
Republicans refraining from voting
and the Democrats being unable to
muster more than 120, the House
was again left without quorum.
Caldwell, rising to question of
order, directed the Speakers at
tention to rule 81 of the House. 1t
provides that every member who
shall be in the House when the
question is put shall give his vote
unless excused by the House.
Caldwell said the language of that
rule is imperative. 1t says that
every member present shall vote.
Fort-I suggest that we are all
paired on this side Of The House.
Speaker-This is not new diff
Guilty. He knew of no power even
by means of the Sergeant-at-arms
or through any persuasive power to
compel gentlemen to vote.
Caldwell suggested that the chair
can order the Sergeat-at-arms to
arrest any member who disregards
the rule and carry him between the
tellers. Derisive laughter and
cries of " suppose you let him try
it," from the Republican side.
Another call of the House was
ordered and showed the presence of
263 members. Another vote was
taken in seconding the demand for
the previous question, anu resulted
in vote of 105. The point OF no
quorum was again made.
Wood moved to adjourn. De-
feated, yeas 70, nays 107, the Re-
publicans voting solidly against it,
being reinforced by numbers of
Democrats. After another ineffec-
tual attempt to secure quorum
the House adjourned without di-
vision.
The Clerk gave notice of Re.
publican caucus, to be held imme-
diately. This announcement was
received with roars of derisive
laughter and the clapping of hands
on the Democratic side and with
demonstrations of triumph and de-
fiance on the Republican side.
There was, for q few minutes,
great excitement; but gradually
the audience and Democrats with
drew, leaving the Republicans in
possession of the Chamber.

PREsIDET HAYES, occupying the

matte role of may, never shake
thy CORY locks at me, thou cans't
not say L did it," He says that his
friends, if they interposed TO affect
the Electoral count in Florida, did
so without his authority. If this
be so, it is somewhat singular that
Noyes, who, McLin says, was
Hayes's go-between in the Florida
frauds, is to-day United States Min
lister to France by Hayes's appoint
meut, that McLin himself was
nominated by Hayes to be United
States Judge in New Mexico, and
that Dennis, one of the other con-
fessors, received al appointment in
Washington through Hayes's writ
ten recommendation. 1t is further
singular that. in Louisiana, Ander-
derson and Wells, who committed
the perjury and forgery by which
the vote of Louisiana was counted
for Hayes, both have lucrative pc.
sitiens in the New Orleans Custom
House, the Collector being their
mere tool. 1t is singular that
John Sherman, who went down to
New Orleans to "5ossn the Louis
lana fraud, is now Secretary of the
Treasury, and Mr.. Stoughtop, who
went down to assist him, is United
States Minister to Russia. We
might extend the subject indefin-
itely, and find every agent of the
fraud in some position of trust,
emolument and responsibility-.that
is, if Hayes's nomination could
place him there. Some of his
stool-pigeon nominees failed TO be
confirmed by the Senate.

IF it were In our power we would
administer very thorough tonic
to the Democratic House of Rep
resentatives. The Hayes fraud
needs searching investigation. The
Democratic party has never since

Congress. Who can fail to recall
Speaker RandaIl's mournful and
masculine speech, in which he an
ticipated the sanction of fraud
which was to follow, but in which
he prefigured determined cru
SADIE against wrong. What Demo-
crat has forgotten the noble pre-
amble and resolutions viii CHI the
Democratic House caused to be liz
scribed on its journal. when the
Electoral Commission had con-
summated its iniquity? 1t was an
eternal protest which certified to
posterity that Hayes, though in
augurated through the perjured
offices of partizan commission,
had not been elected President by
the American people. We confess
that we to-day think that the
Democratic party did right at that
time in combining itself merely to
protest. There is small efficacy in
anticipating. The country above
all things dreaded another civil
war. To-day there is no danger OF
any violence. Hayes could only
be removed by the consent of the
Republican party, for cause. II
cause be shown, the Republican
party would file no caveat to the
election of the wrongful President
from, and the induction of the
rightful President into, the White
House. Events are so shaping
themselves that the Democratic
party will soon, in its turn, be able
to perpetrate injustice, should it SC

Afternoon Men.

There is proverb which saws "What
can be done at any time is never done, "
and applies especially to a class who
have become slaves to the habit of pro-
crastinatiOn, the habitual postponing of
everything that they are not compelled
by necessity to do Immediately. Now
delays are not only damaging to present
prospects. but they are destructive of
ultimate success. A dilatory man is not
to be depended upon. The slightest pre-
text is sufficient for him to disappoint
you. If an emyloye, the sooner he is
discharged the greater the advantage to
the employer. There are those who
who may properly be called afternoon
men, They are always busy getting
ready to go to work. In the morning
they walk around, carefully inspect their
duties, and then say:
"Plenty to do to-day. must 90 to
work this afternoonw
About three o'clock they survey what
they haven't done, and exclaim:
Zone thing and another has prevent
ed me from making any headway to-day
Pll quit, and begin bright and early to-
morrw morning"
One day with them is simply the re-
fection of another. There is nothing
accomplished in whole life; and their
western sun overtakes them, and finds
no preparation for the wants and infrm-
tiles of age. There is nothing to look
back upon but squandered time. One
hours exercise in the morning loosens
the muscles of the limbs, sets the blood
dancing in the veins, and fits man
physically and mentally for the days
activity; while one hours sloth after
breakfast produces torpor from which
it is almost impossible to rally.

The French Marriage Law.

The Boston Post of Thursday says: "a
few days since lady called at the May
or's Office and requested that the mar
riage intentions of two parties residing
in Paris should be posted in the office.
Not understanding exactly the exigen-
cies of the case, the Mayor sent to the
French Consul for information on the
subject. The latter drew up two odd
looking documents in the French Ian
guage and sent them to the Mayor, with
a full explanation of the case. 1t ap-
pears that Pierre Reintjet, a Frenchman,
residing in Boston, has a minor son,
Henri, who resides in Paris. The latter
desires to marry Hortense, a minor
daughter of Laurent Carrot, who lives
with her parents in Paris. As both par
ties are minors, the civil marriage laws
of France require that the marriage in
tention shall be published for two weeks
at the residences of the parents of both,
and therefore the intention of Henri
must be published in Boston. This is
probably the first case where the per-
mission of the Mayor of Boston had been
held necessary for the marriage of q
Frenchman to French woman, both of
whom reside in Paris. The two dOcu-
ments referred to were notice of the
intention, which is now posted in a con-
spicuous place in the Mayors Office, and
a certificate, to be signed by the Mayor
and sealed with the city seal, stating
that the intention has been published
for two weeks, and that no objection has
been made"

Take Time to Rest.

Most men and women must keep in
the traces, and keep pulling the year
round. All the more, therefore, it is
their duty to take things easier as the
longer days come on. Take longer rest
at noon. Put on less steam when you
are at work. Snatch a Sunday now and
then from the middle of the week. You
can't? You can. People find time to
be sick and to die. These can lust as
easily find time to rest and keen well.
All does not depend on finishing that
dress or fencing that field; or putting
up so much fruit, or catching so MANY
customers. Better that the children
should wear old clothes than that their
mothers should be laid aside by a fever.
Better that the corn crop be little light
er than that there should be no one to
harvest it. Put up the store shutters
earlier at night; prepare palmer meals
IN the kitchen. Take a MONDAY nap
yourself, and give your employees a chance
to go fishing of an afternoon, now and
then. That only is duty which the Lord
lays upon us, and he is not so hard a
master as we do sometimes suppose.

sent, the youth advances, takes the cor
ner of her handkerchief in his hand, and
leads his lady round and round. No
word is spoken and no laugh is heard.

girl moves heavily by herself, going
round and round, never allowing her
partner to touch her hand. The pipes

merit in this "circling," as this dance is
called, is given by the spectators to the

HOW To Be Handsome.

Most people would like to be hand
some. Ali cannot have good features
they are as God made them; but almost
any one can look well, especially with
good health. 1t is hard to give rules
in very short space, but in brief these
will do:
Keep clean-wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act free, and it
takes care of itself. Its thousands of
air-holes must not be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough-not
too much. The stomachs can no more
work all the time, night and day, than a
horse. 1t must have regular work and
rest.
Good teeth are help to good looks.
Brush them with a soft brush, especially
at night. Go to bed with cleansed teeth.
Of course to have white teeth it is need
full to let tobacco alone. All women
know that. Washes for the teeth should
be very simple. Acid may whiten the
teeth, but it takes off the enamel and
Injuries them.
Sleep in cool room, in pure air. No
one can have cleanly skin who breathes
bad air. But more than all, in order to
look well, wake up mind and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the eyes.

Weather SIGNS.

Many of our farmer friends have GER
tain signs by which they claim that they
can foretell the character of the coming
winter. Among them are the character
of the corn husks, thin ones indicating a
mild winter and thick ones the reverse.
A plentiful supply of acorns and other
nuts indicating hard winter and a short
crop light, open one. An unusual
number of spiders during the fall are
taken as harbingers of mild winter.and
their absence the reverse. On the other
hand an immense supply of caterpillars
indicate hard and severe winter. when
squirrels are idle and listIess il betokens
a mild winter, but much business on
their hands indicates a hard winter. If
the breastbone of a goose is white. we
will have mild winter, but if it is dark,
look out for deep SHOWS and cold wealth.

Quarters early it is to be considered as
token OF a severe winter; and we might
extend the list much further. In look
ing over the many country papers which
pass through our hands We have kept
record OF these weather prognosticatorS,
and give as a result from the reports
made to said papers that in Greene coun-
ty they will have a mild winter, because
the husks are very thin; in Washington
the winter is to be mild, because spiders
are plenty; near by in Allegheny. they
are to have it very severe, because the
breastbone OF goose was very dark; in
Lancaster it will be severe, because the
squirrels are busy, but in the adjoining
county of York, it will be mild, because
the woodchucks have already gone into
winter quarters; in Delaware county,
the husks are thick, and hard winter
may be looked for, but in Bucks it will
be light, because forest nuts are scarce :;
in Salem county, n. j.. caterpillars are
plenty and indicate hard winter; but
across the river in New Castle county,
Del, they may expect a very mild win
ter from the absence of nuts. And vet
any one of these can furnish positive
proof that his theory has been proven
correct many times. The trouble usual
" is that persons observe the cases in
which these or other signs prove correct,
but fail to note the cases in which it
fails.
