The senate finance committee, has au-
thorized Bayard to propose as an amend
ment to the pending legislative. executive
and judicial appropriation bill, that 800
600 be appropriated for the diplomatic and
consular service to be expended in discre-
ton Of the president. The purpose of appro-
priation, is for establishing if possible,
through diplomatic agencies common in-
ternational ratio OF value between gold
and silver coinage.
At cabinet meeting to-day the subject
of the double standard was discussed at
considerable length, with the more recent
ly expressed views Of European nations on
the subject, and it was understood that
Secretary Evarts would reopen CORES
pondence with foreign governments, look
ing to fresh negotiations for the adoption
of dual standard
The question of payment of another in
stalment to Capt Eads, on account Of the
Mississippi jetties, was also discussed, the
point turning upon his being required to
maintain depth OF channel Immediately
above the ietties and the gulf. From re-
ports received it appeared the river has
shoaled above the jetties to depth of 90
to "a feet. No fnal decision was reached
as to the liability of Captain Eads.
Inc senate committee on finance to-day
considered the house bill concerning sub
sldIary coins, and authorized Bayard to
report 1t back to the senate with recon-
mendation for its passage, with two amend
ments. One fixes the amendment for
which subsidiary silver coins shall here
after be legal tender, in full payment Of
all dues public and private at $40, instead
of twenty. as proposed by the house Of
representatives, or S. as provided by tho
existing law. The other amendment
makes provision of the fourth section o.
the bill applicable only TO silver coins o
face value, of 25 cents and under.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, day 13.-Mr. Shelly
made personal explanation, asserting
that the election in his district was fair
and peaceable.
Mr.. Russell also made an explanation
regarding the speeches of Messrs. Kit
chen and Davidson. He attacked Mr..
Kitchen severely, declaring he held seat
and drew salary to which he was in no
way entitled, and was called gentleman
by courtesy of the house.
MIR, Kitchen fercely denounced Mr..
Russell as one of those men from the south
who had deserted their race and country,
and bone ana flesh, and joined the rag-tag
and bob-tail Of creation. Being called to
order by Mr.. Stevenson, he proceeded
characterizing Russelfs charges as totally
| false. He asked Russell if lie had not
been court-martiaied and dismissed from
the confederate service, to which Russell
replied, "he had been, but that it was for
whipping conscriptiou officer and that he
had been restored to the confederate ser
vice by Jefferson Davis" This raised
a laugh at Mr.. Kitchen and when he was
about to reply he was cut off by point oi
order made by Mr. Gibson and sustained
by the speaker, that he was not making
personal explanation.
Mr.. Davidson followed with his persona
explanation, and denounced as false tht
statement made by Mr. Russell
Mr.. Knott then called up the veto mes

The November number of the Princeton
Reute,o completes the second volume OF
1879, three numbers comprising one
volume and making very handsome book.
But the excellent "get-up" of the Reticto
is its least merit The contents of the six
issues of the year are a marvel of solid
discussion, offered by an imposing array OF
distinguished contributes. A great variety
of topics is presented, embracing litera-
ture science, art and economies as well as
it's chief features of philosophy and
theology, These volumes have a perma-
nent value for re-reading and reference,
besides their timeliness and current value.
The present number contains a compre-
hensive article entitled "Bimetallism"
by Prof. W. G. Summer of Yale College
The subject is one of paramount lmpor-
lance in our legislative councils and Twill
probably demand a large share of the
attention of statesmen during the present
session Of congress. The views of the
monometalsts are here presented with
clearness and fullneas. Prof. Goodwin
Smith adds a contribution to the endless
educational question by review of the
situation of university education in Eng
land which involves several pertinent
questions applicable in the United States.
Robert 2. Porter of Chicago con-
tributes another one of bis remar-
kable statistical articles in reference
to the growth Of the United States
| 1t comprises statement of the growth OF
population, territory, industries, &c, and
| pointing out the peculiar advantages OF
New England, of the South aud of the
West for special industrial progress.
| Nothing can be more important than that
| the people themselves should understand
the material condition and resources of
| the various sections of the country. These
are deliberately set forth. MIR. Porter Is
| greatly helping to bring about more en-
| lightened public sentiment, perhaps the
greatest need the welfare of the country
| has. The other articles relate to philos
optical subjects but particularly those
that have practical religious and moral
significance. Ex-President Mark Hopkins
encounters Mr.. Tyndall upon the latter s
views respecting the origin OF the material
universe. President james McCosh meets
Mr.. Herbert Spencer in reference TO his
views upon scientific morality. President
Noah Porter combats Mr. Huxley's state
ment as to Mr.. Hume's, Mr. Locke's and
Discartes' philosophy. Principal Dawson
shows how scripture does agree with the
settled theories in physical science. Prof
| Lyman Fl. Atwater discusses with a
former contributor to the ReU5tU the
m easure of the Office Of the conscience in
| Christian judgments.
This is the Revtcae-a solid publication
| from beginning to end 1t is set before
the public for two dollars year. The
Office of publication is at 81 Park Row,

Do not produce sickness at the stomach, nausea

agreeable in their action that a person suffering
with sick headache, sour stomach, pain in the
bowels, is speedily relieved OF these distressing
symptoms. They act directly the liver, the
organ which, when in a healthy condition, purifee
the blood OF the whole body.
They perfect preparation of that great and
well-known remedy, Mandrake Podophyllin, a
remedy that displaced the use of mercury, as
well many other poisonous drugs, in the practice
of every intelligent physician.
Prof. John King, of the College of Medicine, of
Cincinnati says: IN Constipation it acts upon
the bowels without disposng them to subsequent
costiyeness. In Chronic Liver Complaint there is
not Its equal in the whole range of medicines being
vastly more useful than mercural agents arousing
the liver to healthy action, increasing the flow
OF bile, and keeping up these actions longer than
any other agent with which we are acquainted -
