The Presidents Message.

Fellow-citizens OF the Senate and House of
Representatives
The failure of the last Congress to make the
requisite appropriations for Legislative and
judicial purposes, for the expenses Of the
several executive departments Of the govern
ment, and for the support of the army, has
made it necessary to call special session OF
the Forty-sixth Congress. The estimates of
the appropriations needed, which were sent to
Congress by the secretary of the treasury at
the opening of the last session, are renewed
and are herewith transmitted to both the SEN
ate and House of Representatives.
Regretting the existence of the emergency
which requires special session of Congress al
8 time when it is the general judgment of the
country that the public welfare will be best
promoted by premanency in our legislation
and by peace and rest, commend these few
necessary measures to your considerate atten-
ton.

What Cool Courage May Achieve.

Speaking of the destruction of q
British force by Zulus in South Africa,
London letter gives this incident:
The most extraordinary incident con-
nected with the massacre was the mar.
row escape of Oommandant Lonsdale,
who notified Lord Chelmsford. Dom.
mandsnt Lonsdale was quietly return
ing to camp-he had been ill-was tired,
and was slowly jogging along with the
sort OF lazy perseverance characteristic
of tired traveller. He had crossed the
small waterwash TO the south of the
camp, when his attention was attracted
by bullet passing rather near to him,
and on looking up he saw black man
who had evidently just fired. The real
truth was, of course, fer from his mind,
and he merely thought it was one of his
own contingent carelessly firing off bis
rife, and pursued his way. To some
extent the incident seems fortunately to
have woke him up, and, although he
saw what seemed to be our redcoats sit
ting in groups in and around the tents,
he kept his eyes open, and, when abso-
lutely within ten yards of the tents, ht

made him look about him more closely
and he saw that black men, and BLACK

A CITY Of Stables.

Is there, or has there ever been, a
city or town in the wide world possessed
of so many stables as New York? In
addition to the host of private stables
scattered everywhere up town, and
often occupying lengths of fine cross
streets, there are livery stables in near
ly every block in the region between
Fourteenth and Fifty. ninth streets and
Third and Eighth avenues. Instead of
being confined to certain quarters, as
one might imagine they would be, they
crop out in the most frequented and
fashionable parts of the metropolis.
They are not merely unsightly, they
are very undesirable in proximity to
private residences. Their emanations
are reputed to be not unwholesome,
but they are unpleasant, and they draw
flies like sugar-houses. Besides, the
rolling in and out of all kinds of vehi
cles, the stamping of horses in their
stalls all night, and the constant yelling
of stable-boys and grooms, ar not
what private family would rank as an
additional inducement to q neighbor.
hood. The multiplicity of stables is
really a great objection to the city. II
is very difficult to buy or lease house
to which public stable is not contigu-
GUS. Even Fifth avenue can not be
kept clear of them they exhale odors
and make racket beside some of the
handsomest residences. Like vile
weeds, they sprink up on every side,
and in the uninviting parts of town,
where grog-shops and tenements
abound, the streets are habitually used
as stables, being full of drays, vans,
and trucks all night and much of the
day. New York must move on wheels,
it would be thought-the whole popu'
lation must drive. It shows extrava
gance in taste and custom, and a large

A Pig on Board Shin,

While at Ivigtut (South Greenland
cryolite mine), on our outward passage,
the sailors bought pig, which was pet
ted to the last degree, and so jealous
were they OF his rights that the dogs
were driven in all directions that poor
Dennis, as they christend the pig, might
not be disturbed. The dogs made several
attempts to attack this favored animal,
but constant lookout-such as one
could never expect for ice, rock, or land
from any seaman on board-was kept,
and the dogs were driven off at the mo-
ment when victory seemed certain. Pea
soup, broken biscuits, and slops of all
kinds were given to the dainty animal,
whereas if dog attempted to ask for a
share of the remains of the sailors din.

fact, the pig was the pet of the ship, and

chain running out when anchoring, or
the water coming in at the hawse pipe

other pig such comforts showered on
him. But now came change. Oar

Polsnned h1 ChlorIds OF sodium.

Early this morning tremendous COM
motion was created in q lodging house
on Fl street by an inveterate wsg who
ought to be taken care of at once. The
man was lodging in the house, and about
eight O'Clock came down from his room
and told the landlady that her little boy
had found q box OF chloride of sodium
on his washstand and had taken some.
." IF you can get stomach-pump into
him inside Of an hour. he'll live. Now,
don't get excited. Keep cool. Put
mustard plaster on his stomach at once,
and send for all the doctors in reach.
You'll be sure TO find one at home"
BY this time. the frantic mother had
the boy stretched ont on the bed, and
was getting square yard OF mustard
plaster ready. At the same time she
dispatched three boys and little girl
for medical aid -...
Here" said the wag, coolly, "Il
leave you the name of the chemical on
piece of paper chloride of sodium.
Make no mistake; any doctor will know
what to do the minute he sees the name.
It's all right; now don't cry. 1t won't
have the slightest effect under an
hour. Keep cool; don't brighten the
child. I'll go down and send up some
doctors myself" And here the young
man started at brisk pace down town,
and soon had several doctors routed out
Of their offices.
Meanwhile the boy, who was abou
nine years old, was bawling at the top of
his voice, and some of the ladies from
neighboring houses came in to help hold
him on the bed while the mustard plas-
ter was spread on his stomach. Every
woman who came in was shown the name
of the poison written on the paper, and
they calculated, "Mercy on us II
"Gracious mel'' "Oh, myI" and
Merciful heaven |" in concert.
Presently the doctors began to arrive.
DR.. Harris came tearing up the alley
with a stomach-pump, followed by
Webber, Anderson, Conn, Pritchard,
Grant, Heath, Bergstein, and, indeed,
almost the entire medical faculty Of the
city, with medicine. cases, instruments
and stomach. pumps. At the sight of SC
formidable an array the patient (on
whom the plaster was drawing like 6

What has he taken, madam 2" asked
DR.. Harris.
"Here's the paperi" cried the mother
sobbing. "That's the stuff he took"
The doctor read the inscription, passed
it to the next man, with laugh, and il
went around the group. Presently some
one remarked: .----=-=

The Boston Post thinks the plan OF

next November, is one that must COM
mend itself to ZACH CHANDLER and his

scheme could originate only in those
minds whose skill and resources in 1876
turned popular defeat into a returning
board victory, and it offers most valu-
able opportunity for utilizing the negro
vote, which now seems on the way to
