ALL the congressional investigations yet
held have had no perceptible effect in in
tluencing public opinion. The facts are
drawn out in such an attenuated form-are
given to the people in such homeopathic
doses-are spread cut over such long inter
walls of time that the few who pay any at
tention to them at all, become Disguised,
and finally dismiss the matter from their
minds altogether.

THE most remarkable and exciting game
of billiards ever played was that which
came off in New York on Saturday last, be-
tween Slosson and Schaetfer 1t was n
French carom game of 600 points. At the
fifth inning the score stood: Slosson $50,
SchaeAer 10. No man in the vast crowd of
lookers.on deemed it possible that Schaeffer
could so use his three remaining innings as
to make even a respectable average for n
champion game and this feeling resolved
itself into a certainty, when, at the end of
his fifth inning, he had scored only 80
points. Slosson, who, on his fifth inning
had made the unparalleled run Of AGA
points, took the cue for the sixth inning,
and as he had only fortY-one points to make
it was generally believed that he would run
out but his score was increased only a
few points. Schaeffer, with the odds of
more than 500 points against him, showed
great nervousness at the commencement of
the 9th inning but soon warmed to his
work, and "troze" when he had made score
Of 2G3 points, giving him a total of 800.
Slosson, with forty points to make, "came
to the scratch" confidently. Schaetfcr had
left the balls in good condition for him;
but by a singularly unlucky shot he closed
his inning at IL points, which gave him
total of 571. Schaeffer got the balls in
good Shape, and, as he "nursed then" abo1t
the table with great skill, hopes were in
spired in the breasts Of his friends that he
might, after all, snatch victory from the
jaws of defeat He had passed once around
the table and his score exceeded 200. The
balls were in good shape, and were
handled with such skil-that the lockers on
were kept in perfect paroXysm of enthu-
siasm which knew no bounds, when, at
score of 29S, the scorer called game for
Schaetferm 1t is claimed that Schaeffer
could have nursed his balls indefinitely, or
beaten Slossons score of AGA had the neces-
stiles of the game required it. Upon the
announcement Of the game for Schaef
fer, who is mere boy, the crowd |
became wild. Such shouts and |
yels were never before heard in
New York City. Schaeffer was gathercdupon
the shoulders Of the surging crowd, and |
passed to the table, where he was com
PEELED to stand until each one of the spec
tators had congratulated him upon his won
derful achievement. A wilder or more
tumultuous scene was never witnessed in |
he great metropolis. Schaeffer became the
ion OF the city, and the observed of all OBJ
servers. And now as "puncher of balls
with little sticks" he stands the confessed |
champion of the United States. Schaetfers
average was IS 81 points. Slosson's aver
,ge was 81 Al points.

being lessened every year, without any rea-

from the most lnsignigcant origin. At this

a common thing that in the hurry of every

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence Daily Bulletin.


WASHINGTON, d. c., February 10, 1879
The house has disposed Of all the appro-
pration bills but three-the sundry civil
the one known as the deficiency" bill, and
the legislative executive and judicial. Over
these, however, it is thought there will be
considerable discussion and delay, even be-
fore they 90 to the Senate to receive the
inevitable additions Of that body On Sat
urday the house passed the army appro-
priation bill, embracing the proposition to
reorganize the army, but one thing that to
transfer the Indian Bureau to the War
Department 1t had also attached an
amendment permitting railroads, which
have telegraph lines for the transaction Of
their own business, to open them for public
use.
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, who
lately introduced an amendment to the
Texas Pacific r. r. bill, is himself friendly
to the original bill, and presented the
amendment "by request It's an extremely
gratifying fact that this Texas Pacific road,
which offers to the South probably its last
chance to secure government aid for Pa
cifc connection, is gaining friends every
where in that section.
The investigation of the Tribune cipher
is over All these Democrats who were
supposed to have sent cipher dispatches
from South Carolina, and FLORIDA have
been examined, and Mr.. Tilden, against
whom no charges, but thousand insinua-
tons, had been published, has made a
statement and submitted to cross-eXamin-
alton, Mr.. Tilden's statement was specially
clear and emphatic as to his own innocence
Of any connection with any attempt to pur-
chase electoralv votes in any State, and it was
in all respects confirmed by what the
other witnesses said.
Among the few bills finally passed at this
session am very glad to note that which
went through the senate on Friday, which
allows women to appear as attorneys be-
fore the L. S. supreme court. The first APP
plcation for such permission was made by
Mrs. Bclva Lockwood, OF this city, several
years since. The passage of the bill through
the house and senate has been due in
great measure to her unremtting eXcruons.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Hayes will ap-
prove the bill.
The commissioner Of pensions now est
mates that $34,O00,0O0 will be required to
pay the amounts due on existing pension |
certificates, under the late arrears of pen
sion act, and he also believes there will be
required an increased appropriation each |
year hereafter From present appearances
though congress will doubtless make an APP
priation before adjournment it is not likely |
any of this $34,OOO,OO0 will be distributed
for many months,
Apparently Mr.. Hayes has even less con-
fdence in the Democratic senate of the 4Gth
congress than in the Republican of the 45th
He is having furnished him list of all the
important officers whose terms.will expire
soon, with view, no doubt, of filling their
places before the 4th OF March.

1he Pyramids.

The Pyramids continue to puzzle
mans ingenuity, not only as to their
methods of construction, but as to the
purposes for which they were built.
Mr.. Smyth, whose astronomical views
imbued everything he looked at with
his favorite science, ,endeavored to show
that tho pyramid was nothing more
than an everlasting monument, with
tho beneficient intention Of keeping for
ever fixed the unit Of length--a sacred
oubit standard. The last idea Is that
the pyramid Is simply a cairn. and
that as cairn it will be resolved some
day, and will crumble to the ground.
The labor employed on the Great pyra-
mid was equivalent to lifting $685.
600, 900 Of cubic feet OF stone one foo
high. If accounts can be relied upon,
1t took 100000 men twenty years to
complete 1t. AS contrast, in con-
structing one Of our earliest lines of
railways there were lifted $4,000, ,000,-
600 cubic feet of material one foot high.
The road was built by 10000 men in
less than five years.

Strange Mexican Animal

The banks OF the Rio Fuerto arc lined
with stately bignonia trees; and here l
saw for the first time the singular rep
tile which the Spaniards call iguana and
the Portuguese eaymam do motto-i. Q.
'trcc-alligator.' The latter name may
have been suggested by the formidable
appearance Of an animal which atttalns
a length Of seven feet and a weight Of
sixty-fve pounds, and jumps from tree
to tree with the impetus OF tiger.cat;
but there is no doubt that the iguana Is
the most harmless creature Of that size
which ever jumped or flew or swan on
this planet OF ours--the most harmless
creature Of Its slze, we might say, for
the little goldfish and the robin red
breast are boasts Of prey compared with
tho tree-alligator they will hurt fly,
but tho iguana Is strict vegetarian,
and like an orthodox Hindoo endeavors
to prolong his life without shortening
that of a ow-creature. Still, with
Its saurian beak, Its preposterous claws
and the row of brlstles along It's back
bone, this giant lizard Is a scandalous
phenomenon.

Charmed by Il Snake.

For some weeks the parents of Bertha
Miller, near Mt. Vernon, Ohio, had noticed
that their daughter was showing marks of
declining health, evidenced by an incrcas-
ing palcncss and cmacation and accompanied
by a melancholy mood. SO marked was
the change becoming that they began feel
ing great solicitude concerning her and con-
suited physician about the matter The
physician visited the girl, but was unable
to explain the cause of her decline or to
render her aid. 1t also fell under the OBJ
scrvation OF her mother that each afternoon,
about three o'clock, the girl would leave
