THE SPEAKER SPEAKS.
Reception to the Hon. Samuel ]. Ran
dali in Philadelphia Last Evening.
He Eulogfzes the Recent Session of Con-
gress on the Character Of ITS Work.

PHILADELPHIA, July This evening
reception was rendered the Hon. Samuel
]. Randall by the central democrtic asso-
citation of this city. Letters were read from
a number of senators and members OF con-
gress. expressing regret at their inability to
be present Representatives of the best
classes of the democracy of this city and
vicinity were In attendance. The guest OF
the evening was escorted into the re-
ception room by ex-Mayor Richard c.
Vaux and s. Davis Page, ESQ.,,
the orchestra meanwhile playing Hail to
the Chief" After a few coDgratulatory re
marks by ex-Nayor Vaux, Speaker Randall
delivered an address in which he took occa-
sion to eulogize the recent session of con-
gress on account of the character OF Its Iegis-
lation. none of which, with a single excep-
ton, could be fairly condemned. He
reviewed the various acts passed by
congress and congratulated the country
especially upon the passage of the
army bill which he said will prevent
a president from hereafter using the army as
a posse comitstus over the free people of
free state. The act which secured the settle
ment between the United States and the
Pacific railroad companies was also spoken
of as q good piece of legislation; also the act
which provides that all southern claims
shall be settled by judicial court; the repeal
of the bankrupt act: the reconciliation OF
silver; the financial legislation, and other
measures His remarks on the tariff
question were listened to with particular
interest. He said that the bill was presented
to the president of the American iron and
steel association of the country, and he had
made suggestions which were adopted. The
speaker claimed that the rates on iron were
practically prohibitory; that which Pennsyl-
vania wants now is a market for her produc-
tioDs, the supply being greater than the de-
mand. He did not want anybody to sup
pose he had the least idea favorable to free
trade. He would candidly say that he
always set down a man who talked to
him of free trade as being either
an ignorant man or a deceiver. Con-
tlnuing. the speaker defended the presi-
dental investigation, remsrklng that while
congress held the title of Mr.. Hayes TO be as
valid coming from the electoral commission
as though received direct from the people,
yet congress, sitting as grand inquest, had
an inallenabe right to investigate the cir
cumstances surrounding the election of Mr..
Hayes The speaker discussed the postal
bill, and condemned those features of it
proposing to re-establish the ranking privi-
lege and TO grant exOrbltant rates to railroad
companies for carrying mail matter. Con-
corning the proposed Brazilian steamship
subsidy, he said it would be better to let
commerce between nations come by natural
causes and not by subsidies.

General sherman's Sons Choice.

The Ave Maria, Roman Catholic journal,
gives some further particulars concerning
the decision of General Sherman's eldest son
to become Jesuit. 1t says: From pri.
vate letter to one of the friends of the family
we learn that Mr. Thomas Ewing Sherman,
eldest son of General Sherman, commander
in-chief of the United States armies, sailed
from New York on the 5th inst. for England
with the intention of entering there the
novitiate of the society of Jesus. Mr.. Sher-
man, now entering on The twenty-second
year OF his age, is a young man of scholarly
attainments, and has taken his present re-
solve only after mature consideration and
with the consent of his parents Hav-
ing asked his fathers permission, the latter
informed him that as much as he disliked
the separation. he could not refuse his re
quest. He bad always shown himself a
dutifui and affectionate son, and his happi-
ness could not fail to supercede any selfish
or human impulse in the hearts of his
parents. Mr. Sherman began his studies
early in boyhOod az Notre Dame, Indiana.
When his family removed to Washington
he entered the Jesuit university at George
town, ID. c., where he graduated with honor;
thence went to Yale college for a course of
law, which he finished at the university of
st. Louis. Mo. He has chosen England in
preference TO the home branches of society,
as he is likely TO meet with less distraction
in his chosen career ar.0ng strangers than
here among friends and the companions of
his youth"

Greek influence, except as regards few
frontier districts. 1t is feared not single
power will defend the cessation of Crete to
Greece. Much will be attained If the
Turks can be induced to accede to trifiing
rectIfcation of her frontier. The congress
will certainly pay little heed to Turkeys
passive resistance to Austrian occupa-
ton. The Turkish plenipotentiaries, who
neither have received nor Will receive fresh
instructions, will sign the treaty of peace
without difficulty.
A Vienna correspondent expresses a SINH
lar opinion, and adds that the Emperor
Francis Joseph is expected to arrive in
Vienna Tuesday, when military preparation
for the occupation Of Turkish provinces
Will commence, but troops will not be ready
for the march for II or 10 days. A Belgrade
dispatch states that the governor of Bosnia
is arming the population en- masse to resist
the Austrians.
ABerlin correspondent says it's not thought
that any power will support Russia's claim
to Batonm, AN attempt to enforce whichwould
surely cause bloodshed. The same CORES
pendent asserts that Silestria is coded to
Roumania by the congress, but this is doubt
full.
PRUSSIA AND THE POPE.
LONDON, July 1.-The Times publishes
signed by Prince Bismarck, to
Pope Leo's notification of his accession.
The emperor rejoices TO gather from the
papers friendly sentiments that he will use
his influence to induce Catholics to observe
the law. Another letter signed by Crown
Prince Frederick William and countersigned
by Prince Bismarck, dated the 10th of
June, declares the conditions proposed
by the pope on the 18th of April
that the charter and laws of Prussia be mod
flied in accordance with the exigencies OF the
church TO be inadmissible. The crown
prince, nevertheless, continues to hope that
the concilstory disposition on the part of
both parties will open to Prussia the road to

The Texan TaranfuIa.
Galveston TEX News.l

An irate shyster last year was called a
Texas tarantula by a newspaper, under the
idea that the expression conveyed the no.
ton of venom. The Fort Worth Standard,
without reference to the frontier pettifogger,
undertakes to correct writers on natural his
tory as follows:
The tarantula, a species OF spider, may be
found in great numbers on our praIries. II
water is poured in their holes they will come
10 the surface for the air, and may be caught
with a sharp stick. We have asked a num-
Der of old settlers if these tarantulas were
dangerous, and thus far we have heard of no
one being bitten. They keep in their holes
during the day and forage for insects dur
ing the night. The mouth is near the CEN
ter of the body, next to the ground, and
1T can not bite unless it springs upon you.
The tarantula is a much abused, inof
fensive spider that attends to his own bust
ness"
The last remark might apply as well to
the rattle snake, whose motto is given "a
Don't tread on me-" All beasts and rep
tiles are harmless toward those who do
not come in contact with them. What is
known of the tarantula in Texas and
other southern states is quite rs large and
formidable creature as its Italian cousin,
of the poison OF which so many miraculous
stories used to be told. The Texas
;arantula has the form of a spider
with a body two inches long and
an extent of legs amounting to four
inches. Naturalists say: Its poison is
active and might cause troublesome symp-
toms in man if the fangs could be opened at
an angle to pierce the skin" Cases of per-
sons having been bitten by them, as well
as by smaller poisonous spiders, appear
to be well authenticated, though rare.

ST.. PAUL, July special dispatches re-

An Important Function stimulated.

The kidneys exercise most important func-
tons, which are so wearisome that they tax to
the utmost the strength and endurance of
these busy little organs. Every breath, every
pulsatton of the heart, every movement of n
limb, every thought, makes waste and neces-
states the development of new atoms. The
used up particles in the blood are slfted from
ii and dissolved in a watery fluid by the kid
neys. which then discharge this fluid into the
bladder. A train of disasters to the system
would follow If these "ashes," so to speak,
were not thoroughly strained off and dis
charged This is the case when the kidneys
become inactive. Hostetter's stomach Buffers,
