opeCaI correspondence OF me Bulletin.
WASHINGTON, May 10, 1879.
The senate and house had long sessions
on Saturday, the former discussing the leg
islative bill and the latter the Warner
coinage bill. That is the history, too, Of
nearly every day OF last week. On Mon
day the vote of the Ladd bill came into the
house, and on Tuesday was disposed of,
and thereafter Mr.. Warner and and his
friends pushed their measure with extraor-
binary persistency. 1t is believed they will
get vote soon, and that the bill will fail.
The legislature bill, too will have its
passage and its veto this week. There is not
much disposition among Democrats to send
to Mr.. Hayes, after he vetoes the bill,
the 50 called political sections in a separate
bill. He would simply veto them. The
better way for congress is to furnish gov
ernmcnt temporary supplies, and adjourn.
In December, before which time the princi-
pal elections will be held, congress can re-
new its struggle and then the wishes of
the people will be better known than
now.
There is an interesting controversy in
congress over the public printing. Gov
eminent owns an enormously costly office
here, and it is presided over by an appoint
ed officer. The annual expense of the
work amounts to millions Of dollars. The
bill which now causes CONSERVATION il one
which provides that the senate shall elect
suitable person who shall have charge
OF the work and shall do It for At
least ten per cent reduction from
present cost. While the Republican party
was in power in both branches of congress
the system Of doing the work was repeated
ly changed. They adopted all the provis.
ions of the present Democratic bill except
of course, that which cuts down expenses
Too much can hardly be said in praise
OF Senator Thurmun's speech on Thursday
last. Its ridicule of the two vetoes was of
the finest
Senator VOORHEES,, who sought and re-
ceived a position on the library committee,
has in this short session done much in its
interest His last success was securing au.
thority fer the employment of three more
assistants for the librarian. The enormous
and rapidly increasing library of congress
is very acceptably managed by Mr. spaf.
ford, but the aid now given has long been
needed. The appointments will be made
in July.
Under the regulations now made nearly
wo years will be consumed in payments
lnder the arrears of pension BILL All the
payments could be made as we'll in six
months, but the secretary Of the treasury
seems to regret paying out money which
goes to people other than land holders.

familiar appellatiOn or nickname be at

AN EDITORS DISCOVERY.
A Suggestion as to Architecture
From an Ohio Man.

From the New York Tribune
A Cincinnati editor, going up through
the trapdoor to find the leak in his roof
the other day, discovered new unoc-
cupied world waiting for men to civilize,
and calls the public to look at it as loud
" as if he were De Cana or Nespucius,
fresh from turning up unknown seas or
continents from the hyperbOrean re-
gions. This world is the roof OF the
house. Why, asks the enthusiastic dis
coverer, should we build our roofs slO-
ping, as the Swiss do those OF their
chalets, that the snow may slide of
them? Why, since Americans have
the hot days and MINDLESS nights OF the
tropics, do they not use their roofs as all
tropical people do, for living rooms and
sleeping chambers? There is a great
deal Of practical common sense IN the
suggestion. Rents are dear and stand
ingrOOm scarce in New York, for in
stance; human beings are swarming
and sitting in the close boxes of houses
through these torrid nights; yet the
most airy, coolest part of the house is
given over TO leaks and cats. There
really is no reason why the roof of the
house, II flat, should not he made re-
sort for the Summer evenings or pleas
ant days With very little cost and
trouble it could be made as attractive
as it is comfortable. 4 light parapet, as
in Eastern houses, would serve as pro-
lection and be ornamental as well small
trees, shrubs and flowers would grow
around it as readily as they do in the

waiting for them TO occupy it. Who

of this new Eldorado? 1t needs only a
pioneer to make the first step, and We
all will follow.

Intelligent Marriage.

Our present construction OF society
offers obvious spectacles to people pick
ing out their proper partners. Their
real characters are concealed under the
garb OF fashionable propriety. The real
relation between two parties OF an OPP
posite sex can never be revealed by any
amount of "courting." No matter how
persevereingly the, acquaintance may be
prosecuted, the chances are that the
marriage will prove disastrous ii the law
of temperamcnts has been diSregarded.
1t matters not what love attraction may
exist between the parties-what press
ing considerations may prompt the
union-they will find too late that they
did not count the cost if they are tenn
peramentally untitled for each other.
