The District in Congress.
THE BILL. FOR NEW GOVERNMENT AMENDED

THE BILL FOR NEW GOVERNMENT AMENDED
BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE.
long meeting of the Senate committee on
the District of Columbia was held to-day for
consideration of the District government bill
recently passed by the House. The bill was
taken up section by section. and large mum
per OF verbal changes were made. AT the time
Inc committee took recess for lunch at ID
p. M, the only important amendment which
had been agreed to was in reference to the
appointment OF District Commissioners. The
entire section of the House bill providing for
the selection of District Commissioners, one
by the President, another by the House and
third by the Senate, is struck out. and the
committee will report in favor of the appoint
nent OF District Commissioners by the PreSi-
dent as is now done. The committee will be
In readiness to report the bill with amend
ments next Monday. That section OF the
council will probably be stricken out.
"A NEW MoNsTRosITY was added today to
the collection of four legged chickens, six
legged pigs, eight-egged dogs, and other
irregular animals in the Army medical
museum. One of a litter of seven puppies
which is not all that it should be, was contrib
lower jaw, and consequently no mouth, and
iOr this reason also its large ears seem to be
FAR down on its shoulders. Its nose is remark
ably long, resembling slightly an elephants
trunk, or perhaps more closely the prObOSciS
OF the ant-eater. 1t has no nostrils, no open
lngs in the ears, no eyes, no opening cores
pOndlng to q mouth. Thus finding no open
Tor breathing is of the first Importance, the
puppy died. 1t will be photographed, and then
dlssected and its skeleton placed in the mu-
scum.

CATION must be resorted to five or six times;
thinning and wedding go on in December
and January, but the plant is liable 10 injury
from unusual heat, cloudy skies, strong
winds, deficient moisture, or what in Behar
may pass for frost. Some time in February
the plant is three or four feet in height and
in full flower, and 1t then rejoices the Guilt
vators by capsules, which are about the size
bf ducks egg. Then comes the process of
collecting the leaves of the petals before they
fall, of piercing the capsules with sharp iron
weapon, from two to six times, of collect
ing the exuding juice, of separating the
drug itself from a dark, unpleasant fluid
called pussewa, and of conveying it to the
local factory, whence it is forwarded to the
central agencies at Patna or Ghazipore. Scru-
pulous care is taken 10 record the weight
and quality Of each delivery, and eventually
to see that every cultivator is properly paid.
The return per beega-a local measurement
rather below our acre-has been estimated
from one rupee to fifty rupees. But with
out going deeply into statistics which vary
in each district it may safely be asserted
that with the Behar peasant the contract is
entered into willingly, the cultivation is
neither irksome nor harrassing, and the re-
suit is pecuniary gain.

The tailor lad who had once lacked the
smallest coin, left a princely fortune behind
him, which, both his sons dying childless,
appropriately came, through his daughters,
TO the princely families OF Reues and Schon-
burg. BY inter marriages his blood runs also
in the veins of the noble houses of Stollberg,
Haugwitz, Marwite, Xeten, Bonin, Bis
marck, and many others, which may
account for the milk I'm the cocoS-nut;
meaning thereby the strenuous efforts
of these noble families to remove
tue tailor-tant from their intensely blue
blood. Old George himself though always
reticent about his early days. never gave the
lie direct TO the sartorial impeachment, and
IL is related that when the French ambassa-
dor mt the Berlin court ventured to
allude sneeriDgly TO his original trade, be
sternly replied, putting his hand on his
sword, Yes / am a tailor; and this

In question, humbly deprecated being meas

friends from Dublin, gives an account of a
strange occurrence by which her husband
was saved from being run down in ferry

into the ferry boat to cross the river, when
a large retriever rushed upon him, caught
hold of his trousers with its teeth, and at
the same time kept up a constant howl. II
was only after considerable difficulty that
he could get himself released, and by that
time the ferry boat had been showed off into
the river The gentleman naturally felt much
annoyed at being prevented from crossing,
but his feelings were changed when, min
ute later, he saw the ferry boat run down by
a steamer which lad approached without
noticing the boat The passengers were
thrown IN the water, but fortunately the
crew of the steamer were successful in saving
them all, some being very much exhan5teds
however. While thinking OF the singular
means by which he had been saved from the
accident the gentleman could not help no.
