WASHINGTON.
HOUSE.

HOUSE.
Washington, April 19.-The journal
of this morning embodied for the first
time the petitions deposited in the box.
A question was raised by Garfield,
who expressed the hope that this prac-
tice weuld not pass into precedents.
An explanation was made by the
speaker as to the reasons why he had
directed this to be done, the principal
one being that under existing circum-
stances, while petitions and memorials
are being presented, accompanied by
bills, the question as to which commit
tees they should be referred to, became
important, and already differences had
arisen between the chair and members
presenting the petitions as TO their
proper reference. 1t was therefore
deemed proper that the house itself
have opportunity of passing on the
question.
Frye said it might be found there
would be no objection whatever to the
introduction of bills next Monday,
however assured they should be.
The matter was finally referred to
the committee on rules.
The subsidiary silver bill then came
up as unfinished business of the morn
ing hour.
Warner moved to amend the third
section, which makes silver coins legal
tender to the amount Of $40, by adding
the words, "for all debts, public and
private"
After some discussion voting was be-
gun OH an amendment to increase the
amount at which coins can be presented
for redemption from $40 to $50, and
was rejected.
Garfield's amendment to substitute
the words, ''lawful money of the Unit
ed States" for the words illegal tender
money" was agreed to.
Springer's amendment, making sub
sidiary silver coins legal tender to the
amount of 800, instead OF $40, as in the
bill, was agreed 10 by yeas 123, mays 103.
Stephens moved reconsideration OF
the bill before Its final disposition.
Various other amendments were then
offered and ordered printed, and the
bill went over until the morning hour
Tuesday.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the legislative appropri-
alton bill, and was addressed by Price.
Burrows Speech.
Washington, April 19.-The house
yesterday was thoroughly walked up by
stirring speech from Burrows, Of
Michigan, who took part in the last
presidential campaign in California. 1t
was elaborately prepared, and its glow
ing rhetorical passages were delivered
with a magnificent voice in the most
impassioped style, producing an imme-
diate effect, almost disproportionate to
the speakers ability in any other point
of view except that Of magnetic ora
tory. He was enthusiastically ap-
plauded by the republicans in a body,
as we'll as by large proportion Of the
auditors who filled the spacious gal
leries, and at the conclusion Of his
speech was almost overwhelmed with
congratulations

lieve they had any right to demand
these certificates under the circular of
April 10th, but they claimed they had.
To refuse their offer of one-half per
cent. when the certificates were offered
in open market at par and accrued In
terest. seemed rather hard, but they
were compensated for this by having
three months in which to close the
transaction.
1t was manifestly the policy Of the
law to give to persons of limited
means an opportunity to subscribe for
these small certificates, policy in
which Secretary Sherman most heartily
concurs, as do the banks and bankers as
we'll.
The circular issued yesterday gives
notice of sixty days, which ends June
18th, to all persons who desire these
refunding certificates, in which to apply
for them in sums not to exceed 800 to
any person at one time, and efforts will
be made to place the certificates in the
hands of postmasters and every officer
Of the United States who, under law,
can be trusted with the public money.
1t is hoped that within the sixty days
the whole amount of the refunding GER
tificates, about S35, 900, 900, will be sold;
If not, the offer made by the associate
bankers will then be accepted for what
may remain, as the refunding of the
10-40's is mandatory, and it will by
that time be absolutely necessary to
provide means In some way to meet the
calls. A call for the remainder of the
10-40's will be issued in few days.

Washington, April 19.-Chief Moses
and several other Indians called at
the executive mansion to-day and
were presented to the president, who
said to them. "I am glad to see you

will make settlement with you that
shall be satisfactory. We are friendly
towards you, and wish to deal with you
with exact Justice. I hope you will
always be our friends"
Some Umatilla Indians this morning,
at the Office Of the secretary of the in
terror, expressed their dissatisfaction
with the terms agreed upon yesterday.
Chief Moses, however, stands to the
contract.

American ExpOrts---Wonderfui Gains

Joseph Nimmo, acting chief of the bu-
reau OF Statistics, has given to the public
a most gratifying statement of our export
trade. Without following in detail the
array Of facts presented, we cannot deny
our readers the pleasure they will derive
from brief summary Of the encouraging
condition of onr foreign commerce. The
tables are Of great value, and full of les
sons which it would be well for everybody
to study. Indeed they point to a rapid
recovery from commercial depression and
encourage us to still further effort for the
- Since 1865 our export trade has been
gradually increasing, and few years
since. began to exceed our imports. Com
ing at once to this last and most crafty
ing statement of our commerce with other
nations, we find that the total amount OF
our exports for the fiscal year footed up
the enormous aggregate Of $3.50, 0,G83,798,
being an excess of $25T T,7S6,964 net i'm
ports. This is more than three times that
reported for the fiscal year 1856, and
gain of $156,000000 over last year.
These exports are largely made up of
breadstufls, provisions, coal oil, and petro-
leum. 1t is especially gratifying to note
the increase in the exports Of Agricultural
implements, leather iron, and steel Much
Of the value of the latter items are given
by American ingenuity and invention
alone, and it is pleasant to reflect that
they are rapidly working their way into
the markets Of the world.
The falling off of imports since 1873
has been remarkable, aggregating in the
five years $202, 100000, or 80 per cent.
1t is especially noteworthy that Of this
falling off $72, 100000 is credited to tex
tile fabrics, $4,000 to iron and steel, and
$2,462,000 to clocks, watches, jewelry,
etc. Could anything show more plainly
the increase growth Of or manufacturing
interests. Last but not least of the good
things that Mr.. Nimmo tells us is that the
decline in the importation of railroad
bars is from $19,740, 702 in 1878 to $3.50
in 177S. Verify this Is a good showing,
and one upon which the whole country
will felicitate itself.

Agricultural 4 Notes.

Those who use poisonous compounds
for killing ticks, or for scab or other ami
mails, should be careful to keep it where
it may do no injury to farm animals. An
English journal gives a case where cattle
were poisoned to death, and upon search
being made of the field, the remains of a
packet Of dipping powder was found
which had been left on the ground after
being partly used last summer. 1t was
evident that the cattle which died had
made free with the remains of the powder,
traces of the same remaining about their
mouths. Those who use poison in any
shape, can't be TOO careful in taking care
OF it.
The different breeds of sheep, as we'll as
the methods of feeding, have much to do
with the best production Of the best quail
tiles of mutton. A large-framed, coarse
wooled, fat sheep, produces a coarse
grained, dry, and but Indifferent favored
mutton; while the middle wooled, round,
plump thick sheep, generally found in the
Southdown, Leicesterand Cotswold breeds
produce the closes grained, tender, juicy,
and high-fiavored mutton, especially when
they are allowed to feed upon the short,
sweet grass of the hills, with the addition
of subsequent stall feeding.
Depend upon this assertion: A good
well hung gate will save its cost the first
year in the time saved by stopping to put
up bars whenever any one passes. Farm
gates are pleasant for master and men
and in England there are good, substan,
tial ones into every field on the farm, and
all have good, safe latches made to oper
easily with riding stick or whip, 50 thai
farmer can 60 ali over his farm without
dismounting. There are no wagon ways
of any kind without gates for the coryen
ience of equestrians.

A Novel Fight.

A New Orleans gentleman tells the fol-
lowing curious anecdote: In Natchitoches
parish, a pedestrian noticed on lonely
road frog fighting desperately with a
tarantula and the tarantula returned the
compliment by singing the frog. Every
time the frog got stung he would hop to
the side of the road, where some green
plantain was growing, and nibble off a
piece, after swallowing which he would
hop back to the fight. This being re-
peated about half dozen times, the hu-
man spectator resolved to satisfy his curl
osity, took out jack-knife and Topped off
the plantain close to the roots, while the
frog and tarantula were carrying on their
duel When the frog got stung for the
seventh time he leaped to where the plan
tain had been, and not finding it, uttered
a peculiarly helpless cry, staggered a
little, vainly tried to hop into the high
grass, shuddered, fell over on his side and
gave up the ghost

diseases OF S;OCE.

Epidemics among the human races are
frequent and destructive. They come no
body knows how, and pass away nobody
can tell why. History records so many
of these, and we all remember enough OF
them that it is useless to dilate upon them.
This being so, it is hardly to be expected
that beasts will escape similar visitations.
Yet some people seem to expect this, for
when an epidemic breaks out among the
beasts of the field, it produces about as
much commotion in the community as the
prevalence of cholera among bipeds. Ey-
ery sort Of resource is had to counteract
it, County conventions are held; Legis-
latures appoint commissioners to investi-
gate the distemper and find out remedy
or a preventive; impracticable laws are
demanded, and the whole agricultural
community effervesces as to what is to be
done for their safety.
Suddenly the epidemic vanishes; the
discussion as to the causes which pro-
duced it, filling newspapers and periodi-
Gals with mass of speculation which not
one person in a hundred ever reads, as
suddenly comes to an end. All seem to
be willing to let bygones be bygones and
drop, mem. con-, the all-absorbing ques-
ton.
In the common course of things we
must expect to be visited by these cpl
denies. Horses, cattle, sheep and swine
according to their nature, will get sick and
die. There is no exemption. This is q
loss all who own beasts must submit to
And when an epidemic assails them, it is
useless to discuss whether it came from
abroad or is indigenous, or where it ori.
ginally appeared. The first consideration
should be to study its diagnosis and ap.
ply remedy. 1t must be remembered
that there are losses and misfortunes il
every business. Untoward circumstance:
cannot at all times be avoided or controll
