FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
House Of Representatives..

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-SOon after assembling
the House went into committee of the whole
on the postottice appropriation bill, and Mr..
Blount explained its provisions. 1t appropri-
ated 49,, $50, 0O0 an increase of about 49, OOO, :
900 from the estimates, and an increase OF
1,OOO,OO0 over the appropriation last year. But
for the legislation of the Democratic House the
last three years, the appropriation this year
would have been at least SO, 900, 900 larger than
it was.
MIR. Baker, of Indiana said last year he pre-
dicted when the postotTice bill was before the
House that the appropriation insufficient
and would end in deficiencies. That predic-
tion had come true, and with equal certainty
the same prediction might be made about the
present bill. Any attempt to cripple the rail
way mail service steamer service was a crime
against the country.
The bill was then read by sections for amend
ments.
MIR. Blount would increase me appropriation
tor postottice clerks from So, $50, 600 to $685.
Mr.. Baker, Of Indiana, offered an amend
ment to the amendment increasing the sum to
$500, 900, asked for in the estimates. Agreed
to, and the amendment amended was then
adopted.
the appropriation for letter carriers from
$1,000, 900 to 81 900, the amount of the es-
innate
Messrs. Townsend (of Ohio) and Harrison
supported the amendment. asserting that the
free delivery system was not only self-sustain-
ing, but brought q large revenue into the treas
ury.
Mr. Blount opposed the amendment, saving
there We're only four cities where the free deliv
cry system brought any revenue. After further
discussion the amen tlnent was agreed to-7S
to 50.
Mr.. Waddell offered an amendment directing
pOstoihce employeS on railways who cancel
stamps to keep an account Of stamps so can
celed, the same to be credited to the postm aster
at the station where the mail was put on the
cars, for the purpose OF fixing the basis of pay
OF pOstmasterS. Adopted.
Mr. Money offered an amendment increasing
the appropriation for transportation on star
routes from $500, coo to So. 100000
Mr. Biount called attention to the fact that
during the last eight years the Republicans had
control of the House they had only made an
annual increase of $50, 900 in the matter OF the
star service, while since the Democrats had OBJ
tanned control they had added some 1850 900.
Mr.. Fem advocated the amendment, and
mentioned the case Of the populous mining
settlements IN ldailo where miners had to con-
tribute S90 per month 20 get mail.
MIR. Chalmers characterized the economy of
his own side OF the House as parsimony. It
reminded hlm OF a man coming home from his
luxurious club and finding fault with his wife
Tor having two candles burning. It was ':tal-
low candle retrenCLncnt.'
Messrs. Durham and Blount defended the DO
sltlon taken by the commit tee on approDria-
tions, and argued that the sums recommended
Tor railroad service and for star service were
liberal and ample.
After further discussion, Mr. Moneys amend
ment increasing the appropriation for the star
service to S., 800 ODO adopted. the commit
tee rose, and the House adjourned.

RENO'S RETREAT.
1t Is Described by Capt. Myles Moylan, and
Claimed to Have Been Perfectly JUS
Especial Telegram to the Glohe.l

Especial Telegram to the Glohe.l
CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Capt. Moylan, who is
perhaps one of the most entertaining of the
witnesses thus far examined in the Reno case,
was again on the stand to-day. Amongst the
questions asked him were whether the command
of Reno could have been so formed when the at
tack was first made as to protect itself. He did
not think it could have been so disposed as to
hold the position and protect itself under the
circumstances. The object Of getting out of
the timber was, In his opinion, to save the
command. The witness believed that in view
OF the uncertainty regarding support the re-
treat was less in furious than it would have
been to remain in the timber, for he did not
believe the command could have remained there
thirty minutes longer without loosing MANY
more men than it did, of course pursued. He
thought further that if the Indians had fol-
lowed up the troops, and closed in upon them
on the hill, the command could not have held
out against them until relief came, for its
ammunition would have g iven out. He did
not know how many men were killed at the
river crossing, and did not think the crossing
was covered bya organized body of men to
protect the rest in getting over. It was about
an hour after Reno got into position on the hill
that the witness heard firing in the direction
OF what afterwards proved to be Clusters bat
tleteld. The firing was faint, and Captain
AlcDougall, whose attention was called to it,
said he supposed it was Custer fighting at the
end of the village, down the bottom. As to
Renos conduct in the bottom, whether brave
or cowardly, the witness said: sat times Major
Reno rode at the head of the column, at other
times at the center, and again at the rear. In
all the orders which he gave to witness he man
ifested as much self-possession as any man
would under the circumstances, and he saw
nothing in Major Reno's conduct Indicative of

annihilated.

HOW To MANAGE CELERY.

plants should he six inches apart in the
row. and pains should be taken to have
the soil pressed firmly about the lower
part Of the root If the ground is thor
oughly moistencd at the time of planting.
there Is no occasion for shading the plants.
All that is necessary in the way of cul-
ture for some time after transplanting is
to keep the soil well stirred between the
rows When the plants have attained a
height of from ten to fifteen inches, com
mence the operation of ''earthing up.
The soil is first thoroughly loosened upon
either side Of the rows then as all the
leaves Of each plant are gathered togeth-
er held i'll an upright position, the soil Is
gradually drawn around it TO the height
of several inches. The operation is very
simple, vet. like everything else, re-
quires some experience before ii can be
skilfully done. In our own practice We
have found that three men, or two men
