WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
June II. '79, (

tits not likely Congress will adjourn
next Tuesday, 17tb, though that date
was agreed upon in the House yester.
day. The heavy dignity of the Senate
demands consideration. If the House
had fixed any other day, nearer or more
remote, the Senate would still insist on
a change. 1t always does. But, un-
less unanticipated complications arise
the session will hardly continue later
than the Goth.
The House on Monday passed the
Legislative bill, there being no oppo.
sition. 1t was the same as that Of
1878. Yesterday, against the furious
efforts of the Republicans, the Judi.
cial expenses" bill was passed by the
House, The Army bill will pass to-
day or tomorrow. 1t is believed Mr..
Hayes will approve the Legislative bill,
and veto the others. Any Republican
intention to allow the Army bill or
the judicial Eexpenses" bill to go
through without debate has evidently
been abandoned. In case of either
approval or veto of any or all of these
measures it is.probable Congress will
adjourn without further attempts tu
present such bills as will please Mr..
Hayes. There is no good ground of
objection to any of the bills, and every
Democrat in the House and Senate is
satisfied with them.
Whether to confirm Sec'y McCrary
or not for the judicial position to which
he has been nominated, is question
that agitates few Democrats here.
But 1 do not believe the opposition to
confirmation will be serious. All that
is said against him is that he agreed
to and perhaps helped to prepare the
veto to the original Army bill. That
was not very grave offense, however
just and proper the provisions of the
bill may have been. The right to We.
to is as good as that to pass bill. Mr..
McCrary, both as Congressman and as
Secretary Of War, has discharged his
duties faithfully. He has the neces-
sary legal knowledge and the fine per-
sonal character to fit him for the bench,
and unless reflections for such Offices
are to be because of differences in
politics, see no reason for one in this
case.
Reports from Ohio are of the most
encouraging character. The admirable
candidates Of the Democratic party
give an interest to the campaign which
was not expected. 1t is not doubted
that tie ticket is stronger than the
party in the State, and the party is
strong enough to carry the State.
Beyond any doubt the Warner coin
age bill goes over to the December ses-
sion. The Committee so decided. and.
yesterday. after q determined efcrt Of
the friends Of the bill to bring il be-
fore the Senate. the Senate decided to
sustain the Committee. DEN

Good Temper.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

There's not cheaper thing op Garth,
Nor yet one-half so dear;
'Tis worth mofe than distinguished birth
Or thousands gained year.
1t lends the day new delight;
'Tis virtues warmest shield,
And adds more beauty to the night
Than all tie stars may yield.
II makeih poverty content;
To sorrows whispers peace;
It is a gin from Heaven sent
For mortals to incr ase. -
1t meets you with smile at morn;
1t lulls you to repose,
A flower for peer and peasant born,
An everlasting rose.
A charm to Danish grief away,
To free the brow from care;
Turns tears to smiles, makes dullness gay
Spreads gladness everywhere;
And yet tits cheap as Summer dew,
That gems the lily's breast;
A talisman for love as true
As ever man possessed. 90 --.
As smiles the rainbow through the cloud
When threat'ning storm bcgips--
AS music mid the tempest loud.
That still Its sweet way wins
Assprings an arch across the tide,
Wherewaves conflicting foam,
So comes this seraph to our side,
This angel Of our home.
What may this wondcrous spirit be,
What power unheard before
This charm, this bright divinity,
4, Good nature-nothing more!
Good temper-'tis the choicest gift
That woman homeward brings,
And can the poorest peasant lift
To bliss unknown 10 kings.

Raspberry jam is an essential element
In the construction of Washington pie,
and as this pie is a Boston institution
which is not frequently met with outside
of circle whose circumference Is fifteen
miles distant from the Massachusetts,
State House, It is not surprising that the
greater portion ofraspberry jam consum-
ed In the United States is made here.
The manufacture of the article has
been increasing of late, and there are
now some eight firms engaged to great
er or less extent In its production, and
making an aggregate of nearly 500 tons
per annum. AS their product sells for
1s cents per pound its total value is there
fore $50 900. The dried raspberries of
which the jam is made costs So cents
pound, and are bought by the jam man
ufactures either of farmers and country
storekeepers, or of Boston commission
merchants. The manufacture ofjelly isa
less prominentindustry here, though sew
eral parties make more or less of that ar
ticle for bakers use. Few Boston concerns
have had the temerity to attempt to COM
pete with Baltimore manufacturers of
cheap 'jellies, ''such as are being whole
sailed all over the country at the pres
ent time at 40 cents dozen, or less than
6cents each. AS the glasses which contain
those jellies can hardly cost less than 2
cents apiece, and as the labels, covers, etc.
are not made for nothing, the price re-
ceived for the " jellies" itself is evident
ly not much above cents per glass. AL
though the demand for this "jelly" has
become large, of late, lit is pretty well un-
derstood that it is principally an animal
instead of a vegetable product, being COM
posed mostly of gelatine, variously color
ed and favored. A story was current that
the consumption of cattle hides in the
manufacture of jelly in London was SO
great as to cause sharp advance in the
hide market. Such an effect could hardly
be produced at the present time, however
since merchantable hides can be made to
yield good deal more money, in the
form of leather than in jelly.
The jelly thatis manufactured in Bos-
ton is nearly all made of apples, and
sells at about IA cents per lb. Apple
now forms the base of an endless num-
Der of jellies, such as currant, raspberry,
peach, pineapple, etc., which are made
by simply adding extracts to flavor the
apple jelly; and SO perfect is the imposi-
tion that the majority of consumers are
deceived by it, or, in other words, cam
not tell it from the jelly made from the
ripe fruit with which this is only flavor
ed. 1t comes much cheaper than the
real article. Real currant jelly, for in
stance, costs somewhere about 29 cents
per Id. The latter is made to some ex-
tent, and is sold by grocers who cater to
the highest class of family and hotel
trade.

The lnice of the Tomato Plant as an In
seeiicide.

"a writer in the Deutsche zeStttng states
that he last year had an opportunity of
trying remedy for destroying green fly
and other insects which infest plants.
1t was not his own discovery, but he
found it among others recipes in some
provincial paper.
The stems and leaves of the tomato
are well boiled in water, and when the
liquor is cold it is syringed over plants
attacked by insects. 1t at once destroys
black or green fly, caterpillars, etc.;
and it leaves behind peculiar odor
which prevents insects from coming
again for long time.
The author states that he found this
remedy more effectual than fumigating,
washing, etc.
Through neglect house of camellias
had become almost hopelessly infested
with black lice, but two syringlngs
with. tomato plant decoction throughly
cleansed them.

CRYING CHECK TO LATHRoP.
re is RepuIsed In AN Attempt 60 Get the
Jersey city Bridge Bnn Passed.

TRENTON, Feb. 12.--Judge Lathrop de-
cided to make an effort to secure the passage Of
the Jersey City Bridge bill to-day. Runners were
sent after absentecs. and near the close OF
sleepy afternoon session Speaker Jackson put
the Bridge bill on its final passage. The an
nouncement caused n flutter in all directions.
The bill was read through. and then. to the sur
prise OF the Central Railroad men. the oppo-
nents OF the bridge opened fire in the rear.
Mcdonald OF Hudson presented three remon-
strances bearing over 1000 signatures. and
averring that the residents OF Jersey City felt
themselves TO be 50 deeply in debt that they
prayed tho Legislature not to pass any bills
that would add to their. oppressive burdens.
Fry Dusenbury Lilliendahl, Stlsng, Tango
man. Rouse and Moeks the entire Hudson
County delegation. presented similar remon-
strances. That offered by Meeks was signed 6y
the Mayor and every member Of the six boards
constituting the municipal government OF Jer-
sey City.
The effect Of this on the House was first seen
in tho black looks Of ex-senator Reckless and
the balance OF the bridge lobby. They evidently
felt that they had miscaculated their strength.
but II was too late to bnck out Mcdonald OF
Jersey City moved to recOmmit the bill in order
that 1t might be submitted to vote OF the peo-
fear that 1t would defeat the bill which he favor
ed A sharp debate on the proposition TO re-
commit showed that the 9pponcnts Of the bridge
were strong enough to defeat the bill. and the
motion was lost. 10 to A. six men slipping into
tho lobby without voting.
When this result WINS announced Budd Dea-
con took the floor against the bill. He made AN
effective speech, showing that the bill proposed
to violate tho States contract with the Morris
Canal Company, and that Jersey City could not
afford II. Dominic Robinson Of Paterson fol-
lowed with n bitter speech against the bill, and
]. Meeks OF Union Hill opposed the bill because
OF the financial condition Of Jersey City. and he
did not believe 1t right to tax any city for the
boneilt Of any railroad company.
J. o. Rouse Of Jersey City made q short
speech in favor Of the bridge.
Motions to adjourn in various shapes were
offered until 1t became apparent that thirty
votes were against the bridge twenty y-iour in its
favor. and six uncertain. The necessary thirty
one votes were finally secured to make the bill
the special order for next Monday night
At consultation OF bridge men tonight II
was decided to amend the bill. IL possible. and
try again.

SUING FOR ESCORT sERvIcEs.
The story Charles Dean Tells In his Com
plnint Against Mrs. Ben.

The complaint in the suit of Charles Dean
against Mrs. Theresa Bell. which has been filed
in the Kings County Clerks office. tells the fol-
lowing story; On Jan. 10. 1873 in San Fran
cisco the defendant employed the plaintiff to
travel with her as an escort, and to render such
services as would conduce to her safety while
she was travelling in this country and
Europe. The plaintiff was employed to
protect valuable property belonging to
the defendant. At the end Of six
months. when they were in Paris, she dis
charged him without compensation. The
plaintiff further alleges that after quitting san
Francisco. whore the defendant employed him,
she compelled him to reprcsen, himself AS her
brother. and that she so Introduced him NJ balls
