tion BILL
Washington. April 16.-Under call of
committees, Mr. Stephens, chairman of the
committee on coinage, weights and measures,
reported bill for the interchange of sub.
sidiary coin for legal tender money in sums
OF ten dollars and the multiple thereof, and
making such coin a legal tender in all
sums not exceeding $40. The report of the
committee states that the bill is based On
petitions.
Mr.. Conger raised the point of order that
no bill on the subject had been sent to the
committee, and therefore the committee had
no right to make report.
The morning hour expired, and the bill
went over.
Some annoyance is shown by members Of
the committee on banking that the petitions
on which the bill had been based had not
been referred to that committee.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the legislative appropriation
bill.
After discussion, the amendment to repeal
after March, 1SS0;the act creating the SOUTH
ern claims commission, and to transfer to
the court Of claims all cases then pending
before the commission, was rejected.

off without carrying his original inten-
ton into effect. The bank building was
thus saved. There was no attempt to
save any of the furniture or other things
in the public buildings burned. Mr..
Armstrong, who was Secretary of War,
had told every one week before the
British came exactly what they would
do. and no one was surprised; indeed,
they expected that they would burn
more than they did.
"Was any one shot by the British in
this city?"
"Yes, one man; and only one, if |
remember correctly, and he was crazy
man. He had gone insane in cOnse-
quence of fright at their coming, and on
the day they arrived he had rugged HIM
self out in a full suit of officers clothing,
Generals uniform, l believe, with all
the regalia, straps, epauletS and other
traps. He marched down to their camp
the nextmorning in full uniform, ,and, tax
inc a good position, he cursed them clear
out of sight, and oh! how he did swear
at them. They stood it some time, but,
the fellow getting worse and worse, some
of them shot him. Ross said he was
very sorry about it when he learned that
the man was insane. They should have
arrested, but certainly did not have any
RIGHT to shoot him. | saw his body as it

No red-cOat ever went to Georgetown,

mercifully after they sailed from this
city on their way to Baltimore, where
they were whipped at North Point on
September IA. They agreed they would
not fire on Alexandria if every thing
they asked fot was given them, and then
proceeded to steal'all the tobacco, whisky
and negroes they could carry in their
ships"

Fainting-The Cause and Cure OF This
Common Malady.

Painting is so common with some per-
sons, particularly women, and the cause
of it is so little understood by nOn-pro-
fessional people, that some knowledge
on the subject often proves valuable.
Faintness consists in temporary fail
ure of the activity of the heart, the blood
not being properly circulated in conse-
quence. Although it does not reach the
head, the sufferer loses all clearness of
vision, and, if not prevented, may fall,
the fall not unfrequently restoring the
normal condition. There is no convul-
sion, and though he-mOre probably she
can hardly be called conscious, he is
not so profoundly unconscious as to be
incapable of arousal, as happens in cpl
lepsy. There are all degrees of faint
ness, from merely feeling faint and look
ing somewhat pale to positive and COM
plete swooning. In some cases, one
faint is no sooner cured than another
and another succeed, hour after hour,
even day after day. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to saythat such cases are serious
and need @pfompe treatment. The
causes are various. Some persons are so
easily affected that they swoon
if they cut their fingers or see
any one bleed. Their defect
is oversensitive nerves and weak
muscular fiber. The heart is essentially
muscle, which isfeeble in some, strong
in others-feeble generally in women
and strong in men. Whatever weakens
the heart and muscles commonly pro-
duces faintness, close, foul air being an
active cause. Whatever greatly affects
the nerves, such as bad news or the sight
of the disagreeable or horrible, may in
duce a swoon; and loss of blood is an
other and a serious incitement. Sound
health, naturally accompanied by firm
nerves and muscles, is the best prevent
i've of faintness. The majority of Wig
orous men 90 through all kinds of Sc
we're and painful experiences without
fainting, while delicate men and women
swOon at trifes. American women,
whoused to faint continually crowds,
at bad news, at scenes of dishess-noW
faint comparatively seldom; and the
fact is ascribed to their REIMBURSEMENT,
for the most part, of the habit of lacing,
to their better physical condition. Not
one American woman faints to-day
where, 80 years ago, 25 women tainted,
and the diminution of the disorder, al
ways the result of direct causes, is anun-
mistakable evidence, which other things

Agreeable Women.

Why is it that pretty women are
spoken of as if they, of all others, were
the elect? The term is merely conven-
tional, for she who is interesting from
whatever cause is generally called
"pretty" by her masculine friends,
though her feminine ones are not quite
50 ready to accord her the title. She
who has graceful manners, or style in
dress, or cordial, bright ways, is fire.
quently termed pretty, though both face
and figure may be very ordinary. A
really plain woman who has talent for
conversation, style in dress, tact, and
quick sympathies, will prove a very for
midable rival to woman who can
boast of only a beautiful complexion
and regular features. A woman must
possess something more than merely a
beautiful face in order to charm her ad-
mirers for any length of time. The
first favorable impression she makes
may be entirely spoiled by loud voice
or a coarse laugh, or manners which are
not agreeable.
1t is extremely difficult to say what is
the real criterion of beauty in women.
In the Sandwich Islands only very
fat woman is considered beautiful; the
Chinese admire deformed feet and black
teeth. A woman must wear ring in
her nose and be tattOed sky blue in or
der to win the admiration of South
Sea Islander; and African Princes insist
upon having the teeth of their brides
filed like those Of a saw. Thus it will
be seen that all men do not have the
same opinion as to what constitutes
beauty in women.
Most girls possess personal attractions
in sufficient degree to render them
agreeable to somebody. The same face
-e}t0eSs- not wear the sdTnU aspect TO every
beholder. The eye of love will discover
attractions which would surely escape
the eye of the casual and Indifferent OBJ
server. 1t is well it is so, or there would
be no matrimonial chances for the hope
lessly ugly girls. They depend upon
their powers Of being agreeable, and if
cultivated in the right way this power
will be of more use to them than any
other.
There is great partiality shown in
the cultivation of the head over the
heart. But the culture of the latter

Useless Medical Skill.

Some months ago a couple of our fast
and reckless young men tried to make a
very short turn of the corner of Cherry
and St. Charles Streets, while the horse
was going at rapid gait, The buggy
was upset and the young fellows thrown
out with a great violence on the side
walk. One Of them remained motion
less. A crowd collected, and one of our
well known German physicians was
hastily summoned to attend him. The
doctor worked with him patiently for
some minutes, when a bystander eX-
claimed in an agony of impatience:
"Oh, doctor, can't you, can't you
bring him to?'
"Oh, YAH" said the doctor plegmati-
cally, as he stopped to wipe his heated
forehead; "yah, | can prinS him to ;
