THE EXTRA SESSION.

Speaker Randall has been reflect
ed speaker Of the House. The SEN
ate has now also democratic MAORI
tv and bus elected new officers. Pres
ident Hayes sent in q very brief mes
sage stating the necessity of an extra
session in order that the government
might be supplied with means, and
expressing his opinion that the pub
lie welfare will be best promoted by
permanently in our Legislature and by
peace and rest. The indications are
that the political questions IN dispute
will te settled by compro mise between
the two branches. The President is
expected to concur and IA long session
will be avoided. People Of all par
ties undoubtedly want rest from con-
grsssional monetary agitation.

the Baptist church. She was wait

TIE WALKING CRAZE

Whittier are we drifting? The
ouiet business life Of men and house
keeping life of women, seems to be
getting too hum drum and monotou
Gus. Nothing short Of Il craze OF some
sort will suffice now DAYS to keep
people from utter stagnatlon. The
walking craze isnow at Its very height
Not only the champions, bnt all their
sisters, and their cousins and their
aunts, are rushing into the sa~.dust
arena. Four hstv women are now
traipsing around Gilmores Garden in
n. Y, drawing quite AZ enthusiastic
crowds as did RoweIl Ennis and Ilar
rinan last week. In Philadelphia
three more are al the five thousand
quarter hour work, and the crnz3 is
rapidly spreading to all the smaller
towns throughout the country. Moth
ing so exciting has turned up for a
long while. 1t is a paving business
too. The gate money runs up to
thousand, and the bar profits to as
many Thousands more.
Where have all these female walk
lists sprung from so suddenly That's
the wonder. Some Of them are de-
scribed az fair blondes, or brown bru'
nettes, fleet as deers, while others are
more of the square dutch build
Generally they have not enough high
style beauty to excite the enthusiasm
of the reporters. 1t is sad to think
that many Of them, gifted and cul.
tured, may have started in life with
bright visions Of fame and fortune as
poetesses. But the poetic craze has
not yet come on the country. They
were not appreciated, and their poems
unread. But in the bright lexicon OF
youth there's no such word as fail
The new craze inspires them 1t is
like a circus. They find limbs pay
ing better than brains, The walking
track has lie poetry Of motion, the
next thing to the poetry of soul and
ima4inaton. And thus pedestrian
,sm, becomes their high mission. they

Tho Extra Session Of Congress

The Extra Session Of Congress.
President Hayes has summoned Con-
gress to convene ip extra session on tho
18th of the present month. A clash
on "test oaths," "supervisors," and zap
propriations" appear to be the fermen-
ta,ion or uphcaval that seems to call
forth such disturbance in the political
body. We trust that the sensational
articles that have gone forth about the
Presidents war upon the Democratic
oarty, arc more of the thigh fly" than
the genuine order. Mr. Hayes deserves
we'll for many things, and none of his
previous acts would receive better
praise tban his quiet acquiescnce in
what must DO the inevitable. 1t IS no
use to kick against the pricks. Catching
1t straws, to a drowieg man, always
results in suffocation.

NEW . ITEMS.

john J. PATTERSON says that Cor
bins crew started the story that he
{ (Patterson) had received full pardon
from tho Governor ofSouth Carolina
for oil the misdeeds charged against
him; but intelligence FROM Charleston
charges Patterson with <having started
the. report himself. W. believe he is
rascal enough to do anything.
SINE the de6asc in' tho U. S. Sen
ate to exclude Jefferson Davis from the
benefit of the Mexican pension, the
Mississippi delegation are seriously con.
templating sending him to the United
States Senate 10 1881 to succeed the
colorcd Senator, Bruce. This would
cause the Radical aends-such as Blaine,
Eamunds and Oonkling-to lift up
their hands in holy horror, and swear
that the Union was gone forever. We
will wait and see what time will do.
DEMOCRAT vs.. REpUBL1cAN.-On
NJ ,nday morning while Stephuey Riley,
the rromiuont colorsd Democrat Of this
city, was walking along Broad street,
Warren Minton, a eolored Republican,
an ex-Customhouse official, walked up
behind him and took off his beaver,
with the purpose, it is presumed, Of
trying to insult him. Miuton then
handed the beaver back, and Riley, to
show his contempt for the perpetrator
of the indignity, flung it into the mid
die Of the street, and told Minton if he
wanted hat he could have it. Riley
then walked into Plengs's and pur>
chased a new has.-Ne,rs and Courier.
MAssAeREs IN BURMAH.-The state
of affairs in Mandalay is creating great
anxiety. The garrisons in British Bur.
nah have been doubled. The Burmese
have interrupted the telegraph line
between Rangoon and MaDdalay, and
the situation in upper Burmah is re-
garded as very serious for the European
residents. 1t is stated that while the
recent massacres, at the instance of the
king, only amounted to forty, the kill
ing was attended by every possible
atrocity. The victims were beaten and
kicked, and the women were shamefully
abused. The royal princes were re-
served to the last, and made to witness
the torture and death of their families.
The bodies of all the victims were
thrown into old wells.
THE TURN IN THE TIDE. Accord
ing to the New York EUening Post, the
general feeling among business men
there is that bottom has been reached
10 prices, and reaction has set in. The
probability is that moro dwelliDg-houses
will be built in that city during 1879
than have been erected during any pre-
vious year. At present, inquiry with
reference to real estate and dwelling
houses by persons now living IN New
York or the suburbs is very active, and
,ven by capitalists living in other cities
Rents and prices will in oil probability
'emaiu substantially the same as last
,ear. There is a clamor for lower rents
md over prices, but owners are un- !
fielding, and last years prices will
doubtless be given and received. 1t is
oted that there is much inquiry made

The Republicans of maine are ende.

The Republicans of sMaine are endeay-
oring to create the impression abroad that
they are majority in the state-that they
are, in fact, the people of Maine. and the
alleged fraud" of Gov. Garcelon and the
council is blow at the right of the people
to rule. The facts may as well be stated.
The Republicans are not In majority; if
they were their candidate for governor
would have been elected and the election
would not have deyolved upon the legisla-
ture. They claim that majority of the
RepublicaR candidates for the legislature
were chosen on the face of the returns
and this is true. but they we're in minor
ity on the vote for governor; the combin-
ed votes for the Democratic and Green
hacker candidates outnumbered them, and
it is clear case OF false pretences for
them to claim to be the people of the
state. II they should rise ia rebellion the
act would not be a revolt of the people
against their rulers; it would De revolt
of a minority against the constitution and
laws of the state.

From the Detroit Free Press


On Grand avenue car the other day a
lady suddenly discovered that she had
lost her purse. The other passengers con
sisted of an old man and six women. Three
of the women chuckled at the loss, TIVE
whispered to each other that they dldn't
believe it, and the sixth looked around or
the floor with eager eyes. The old mans
sympathies were aroused from the first
and he asked:
Did your wallet contain any money!"
'Of course it dbl" she sharply replied.
Did it also contain photograph of your
deceased husband, and other relics of nc
value to any one but the owner?"
No sir; my husband is not dead

over So and winter right at our doors

let in your-in your pocket?'
did you stop in any tobacco store
down town."
She gave him blast with her eyes and
refused to answer.
Because he went Oh, 81 allus lose my
wallet in tobacco store. If anywhere. |
don't think you will ever see your lost
wealth again. Have / your permission to
take up collection on this car for your
benefit?"

The New York Tablet says the majority
of the people imagine that it is the sim
plest thing in the world to edit a newspa-
per. A man may have grave doubts
about his talent for public speaking; may
freely admit that he cannot turn tune OF
recognize one turned by anybody else;
may confess that he is no poet, not much
of a scholar, and nothing of an artist; but
there is no creature SO poor spirited as to
avow his incapacity to edit newspaper,
On the contrary, this is work to which
every man seems to have a manifest call.
No matter what his actual business in life
may be-preacher. lawyer, physician,
butcher, baker, or candestick- maker-he
chance ne could make newspaper little
bit spicier and livelier than anything in
the shape of public journal that las ever
come in his way. This is one of the most
modern times. The number Of people
who are infected by til known only to
publishers, just as the extent to which
opium-eating is practiced is realized only
by druggists and physicians. The drawers
and waste-baskets Of every leading news
paper Office in the country overflow with
evidences of the ambition and harmless
vanity of the vast public wbo scribble by
stealth and patiently toll over reams of
compositions which nobody can be induced

The Hartford Times says that if tho
lndigDationists of Maine will cone to
Connecticut and look over the records they
will 6nd ample Republican precedent tor
what they call an outrage in Gov. Garce-
Ion. It gives several instances, among
them these: In 1862 the vote for town
clerk OF Pennington was as follows: Henry
l. Rood, Republican, 23I; Allen G. Brady,
Democrat, 325, A, 6. Brady. 6; & Brady,
/. Rood was declared elected by Re
pubiicaH moderator, although Brady had
the majority. In the same town in 1876,
for the same Office, Chas. f. Church,
Democr received 232 votes; Gideon Ell
WEIGH, Republican, 229; g. Fl. w elch. 3;
u. Welsh, l. Dir. WEIGH was declared
elected by a Republican moderator,
although By the former decision the Office
should have been given TO Church. The
