Baltimore Sun (Dem.)

Baltimore Sun (Dem.)
It is little less than folly to prolong a
session which should never have begun,
and in which no decisive party action can
be accomplished, because a majority can
not be counted on for any proposed polit-
zeal measure. A majority of the whole
Senate also are, It is probable, in favor
of passing the appropriation bills, and
going home at once, but they are prevent
ed from precipitating action in this di-
rection by an irresolute minority, which
does not exactly know what it wants, or
rather has not courage to take positive
position, but will not allow the rest to
act as they want to. Thus the session
shambles along from day to day in pitt
able way, doing nothing, but gaining ev-
cry hour additional certificates of inca
pacity of the chief Legislature of the
country The prospect is not pleasing
one, but it is hoped it will be a lesson to
| members.
The last Congress forced. the President
to call an extra session without first as
certaining whether Mr.. Hayes would con-
| tinue his vetoes or not, and equally with
out ascertaining if he did so if the men,
| bers of the present House would have
backbone enough to let the appropriation
| bills go by default. The consequence is
that Congress has accomplished nothing
at all to forward its own side of the ques-
| t1ons at issue. 1t has forced the President
to take sides with the stalwarts, but it is
! neither willing to pass the appropriation
| stripped of the clauses which are objected
to, nor to go home leaving the appropria-
tions unmade. 1t hangs fire like a foul
gun, and no one can tell whether, if the
charge should finally go off, it will hit the
mark, fiZzle ont, or kick the owner over.
At present writing the latter seems to be
the more probable result, and if it should
be so impartial spectators will be prone
to admit that the punishment was de-
| served.

The history of the coin may be briefly
recapitulated from Mr.. Taylor's state
ment When the New Orleans mint was
taken possession of by COnfederates, in
April, 1861, the original dies of the Uni
ted States were cancelled in the presence
| Of the officials connected with the build
| ing. The Codfederate Cabinet, which was
l then sitting at Montgomery, issued or
ders for design for Confederafe cur
lrenev to Mr.. Taylor. who was the Chief
| Coiner of the Mint. The above design
was submitted approved, and orders were
issued for the striking of of specimen
nieees. Four half-dollars were accord
fngly coined, and these also following
the design, we're approved by the Cabl-
net Then came an obstacle. That body
found thatit had not control of safficien'
I bullion to proceed with an issue Of silver
coins, and consequently, the matter wa
deferred, and temporary issue of paper
money decided upon. The subsequent
route of the Confederates threw the coin
q age project overheard.
Of the four coins struck, one is in tn
| possession OF one OF Cne cnleLS OF the SOli

sented to Professor Biddle, of the Uni
versity of Louisiana; the third to DT

was retained by Chief Coiner Taylor, By

Some Odd Characters in Wash

Pittsburg Dispatch
DIR. Mary Walker and Citizen Cohen,
the Socialist, are fair Representatives of
the reform element, while 'Old Prayers
as the newspaper men irreyerently call
the man who religiously plants himself,
day after day, in the same seat in the
House gallery TO watch Congress for some
opportunity to call down upon it the
wrath of Heaven, is at the head of the
fanatics. Twice within as many months
he has interrupted the proceedings in
loud voice to give his religious admoni-
ton, and twice he has been summarily
yanked ont of the building by the police.
Schneider, the. communistic evangelist
minister, is another of these strange crea-
lures. With voice like trumpet, ard
avid sort of eloquence, this long-haired
Eorator pafades the towlIsweek after week,
exhOrting people at the street corners to
rise and divide the property of the rit h.
But propably the greatest fraud of all is
a big, greasy fellow with hair that falls
over his shoulders in cloud of curls,
who calls himself Tacmentus, the Greek.
| He appeared here about two years ago.
His chief support are the aims or loan he
can raise by means of long yarn of per-
| secution. that he retails to benevolent and
! justice-loving people. He claims to have
| made a great medical discovery in Greece
and published it, but w"s denounced as
/ an imposter by the regular physicians of
| the coHege, ana is member OF secret
society in Italy called the Carbonari, a
king-killing kind of an institution. some
thing like the Nihilists. This made him
a person of mistrust to several govern
ments, and they had prosecuted him by
secret agents ever since. To him the
President and members of the Cabinet
had been especial objects of prey, till he
finally became such an abject bore that
the police and door-keepers We're ordered
to keep him away.

The sand Blast.

Among the wonderful and useful in
ventions of the times is the common sand
blast. Suppose you desire to letter piece
of marble for grave stone; you cover
the stone with sheet of wax no thicker
than a waver, then cut in the wax the
name, date, ETC., leaving the marble eX-
posed. Now pass it under the blast. and
the wax will not be injured at all, but the
sand will cut letters deep into the stone.
S Or, if You desire raised letters, flower
or other emblem, cut the letters, flowers,
ETC., in wax and stick them upon the
stone; then pass the stone under the blast
and the sand will cut it away. Remove
the wax and you have the raised letters.
Take piece of French plate glass, say
two feet by six, and cover it with fine
lace; pass it under the blast, and not q
thread of the lace win be injured, but the
sand will cut deep into the glass wherever
move the lace and you have every deli
cate and beautiful figure raised upon the
glass.
In this way beautiful figures of all
kinds are cut in glass, and at small ex-
pense. The woBklnen can holdtheirzHands
under the blast without harm, even when
it is rapidly cutting away the hardes
stone, but they must look out for finger
nails, for they will be whitfield off righ
hastily.
| If they put on steel thfmhles to protec
the nails, it will do little good, for the
sand will soon whittle them away but i
they wrap a piece of soft cotton around
them they are safe. You will at once SET
| the philosophy of it. The sand whittlei
away and DESTROYS any hard substance
| even glass, but does not effect substances
that are soft and yielding like wax, cot
ton or fine lace, ar even the human hand

1 That it is the sense of this Assembly
that the traffic in alcoholic liquors as a
beverage shonld be regarded by all our
civilized people as an ilIegitimate and
criminal business, against which we
utter our most solemn and emphatlc prs
test.
3 That the church members who will
not be bersuaded to give up all eonnee-
lion with the trafilc and use Of alcohol as
A beverage, and absent themselves, if pos
sible, from places where this deadly Zoe
is kept, should be regarded as guilty Of
unehristian conduct, liable to the censure
of the church.

thousands of the best Christian workers
