CONGRESS.
Regular Proceedings in Both
Houses.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-HoUsE.-'
As business of the morning consider
alton was resumed of the bill to amend
the law relating to the transfer of
cases from the States to the United
States Court, and Mr.. Mclean con-
cluded his argument in favor of the
bill.
Mr.. Urner opposed the bill on the
ground that one of the sections pro-
posed to be repealed (No. $500 was
virtually the judiciary act of 1889,
which gave force and effect to that
clause of the constitution which au-
thorizes United States courts to pass
upon questions in controversy between
the citizens Of one State aud citizens
Of another State.
The morning hour having expired
before Mr., Urner finished his argu-
ment, the bill went over till Tuesday
next.
The consideration was resumed Of
a bill to amend the statutes relating to
geld and silver coinage and coin and
bullion certificates, the question being
on the third section and amendments
thereto. The first amendment was
one offered by Mr.. Bedford, combining
the privilege of free coinage to the sill
yer mined in the United States.
The committee on foreign affairs
has authorized Mr.. Wilson to report
with favorable recommendation his
joint resolution of April 2lst, provid-
ing for further treaty negotiations
with Mexico.
SENATE-The consideration Of the
legislative, exc cutive and judicial APP
preparation bill was resumed. Among
the amendment agreed to was one
offered by EIr. Voorhees,, from the
Joint com mittee on libraries, appro
priatingS5OO0 for the purchase of works
of art.
The amendment recommended by
the committee on finance, %appropria-
ting $40. 900 for diplomatic and consu.
lar services, to be expended at the
discretion Of the President of tn,
United States, was agreed to. TIL,
reason for this amendment is tina.

with a view to arrange for a bitalli,

aud uxhlrstins emotion. They don't
want 70 40 to the theater to weep, but
TO laugh. Very young people, and
young girls in particular, who have
never known care or sorrow, enjoy
pathetic plays and gush visibly when
contemplating narrowing scenes, but
grown people who have known real
sorrows and perhaps carry about shut
up within them hopes and passions and
pains that dwarf the mimic represen-
tons of them on the stage, grow sick
Of tragedy and want comedy-the
lighter the better. Our forefathers
who lived in the easy-gOing stage
coach days could enjoy the "intellec-
tual acting" of Mr.. Lester Wallack,
but to this hard worked, tired-out,
Geographic, express-train age, theatri-
cal pathos is not a need, while good
fun, whether reached through light
comedy or broad burlesque, is a bless
ing.

DETROIT.
Catholic Pupils to be Restored to the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum.

DETROIT, May 1.-THE committee
appointed by the legislature to inves-
tigate the case of expulsion of Catho-
lie pupils from Flint Asylum for the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind, concluded its
labor last evening by deciding that ar
guments of council be heard in Lam
sing next Friday. The trustees of the
institution passed a resolution rein
stating the expelled pupils and allow
ing them all the freedom and privi-
leges pertaining to their religious be-
lief.
The expulsion is in consequence OF
the refusal Of Catholic pupils to par
ticipate in the commencement exer-
cises at the institute in which they
would be required to join in singing
the English translation Of Mozart
mass, the action of the pupils being
in accordance with the advice of Rev.
r. W. Hainc, Catholic priest Of Flint
parish.

SARATOGA, May 1.-THE report
on ministerial relief showed matters

contributions to the fund are not Suf-
fcient to meet all calls.
The secretary said $4,000 dollars
lad been contributed in twenty four
years. During the past year 1874
churches have given that never
gave before. There are 400 ministers
depending on the fund, besides fam
lilies. r. f. Ellington, commissioner
from Muncic, Ind, made a speech
calling for assistance to the fund, say
ing that he would see that his Pres
bytery increased the contribution 200
per cent. if he paid it himself.

Nov York,s Grent Cnthedral.

4 leading topic of conversation in
New York is the dedication Of st.
Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth avenue,
in that city, and which is to take place
on Sunday, May %. Bishops from all
parts of the United States and the
Uanadas, and some three hundred or
more priests will participate in the
ceremonies. 1t is expected at least
fifty bishops and archDishops will be
present. Six thousand tickets have
oeen issued. Five dollars are asked
for the front seats, three dollars for the
rear seats and one dollar for general
admission. PrOtestants as well as
Catholics have sought anxiously for
admission, and tickets are readily dis
posed of. Cardinal McClosky will
perform the ceremony of dedication,
assisted by the bishops and clergy. "A
grand pontitical high mass, OF which
mass the cardinal will be the cele-
brant, will follow Immediately af-
ter the ceremony of dedication. The
psalms will be sung by the clergy,
assisted by the choir, under the lead
of Father Young, of the Church Of
the Apostles. This choir consists of
100 besides the CLERGY, and in the
grand choir, or regular Cathedral
choir, there will be $50 singers. The
musical programme will be a highly
interesting feature. Besides the large
organ now in the cathedral, another
will be placed in the sanctuary, both
being played at the same time during
a portion of the d~edicatory service.
In the evening, at vespers. the must
cal programme will be on a grand
scale. Bishop Kahn, of Wheeling
w. Va, has accepted an invitation tC
preach on the occasion. One dollar
will be charged for admission. The
wealthy Catholics of New York will
entertain the visiting bishops anC
clerey while in the city.

How Flint ArrOw-heads Were
Made.

Washington cor. Cleveland LEADER
A young scientist over in the Smith
sonian Institute, named Gushing. has
Just made public the discovery OF the
method employed in making the stone
and volcanic glass arrow-heads, dag
gers, knives, axes and razors of the
pre- historic races, Up to this time
this mas been a great problem to all
antiquarian students, but no theory
has ever been advanced showing such
practical results as Cushing's. He
started to solve the difficulty by put
ting himself in the identical
position of the Aztecs or Mound
Builders-without having anything
to work with except sticks,
various shaped stones such as he
could find on the banks Of any stream,
and his hands. After making some
rude implements by chipping one flint
with another, he discovered that no
amount of chipping would produce
surfaces like the best of those he was
trying to initiate. He therefore came
to the conclusion that there was an
other way of doing it, and, by chance,
tried pressure with the point of a
stick instead of chipping by blows of
a stone when, presto /! he found that
he could break stone. flint and obsid-
ian in any shape he chose. Shortly he
had made spear heads and daggers that
would cut like a razor, as good as any
he had before him. which had been
picked up from all over the world.
By a little more observation he
found that the " Taking" which
he calls his process, OH the old
arrow head left grooves that all
turned one way. He produced a like
result by turning his stick the easiest
way from right to left. He therefore
concludes that the prehistorics were
right-handed people like ourselves.
This conclusion is reinforced by the
fact that occasionally an arrowhead is
found that has fakes running from lef,
to right, show ing a lefC-handed person.
The Importance of the discovery is
that it shows the urehistOrics to have
been able to do this thing without the
use of iron or bronze, a thing long
doubted. These facts were given in a
paper which he read before the An
thropological Society of the Smithso-
MAN at its last meeting.
