WARRINGTON, D. c, june 1a-The Senate oc-
eupled couple of hpurs this afternoon in de-
batting the mcrits and defects Of the very cx-
traordinarY Legislative Appropriation bill parsed
on Monday by the House. Instead Of taking
the bill Of similar charaeter which had been
vetoed, and striking out the political legislation,
Mr. Atkins, who is tho Chairman of the House
Committee on Appro prtations, had reported In
that body modified extension OF the existing
appropriation lar with few additions. Atkins
osteusioly did this to saro time, hut really be-
cause be did not fancy some amendments to his
original Appropriation bill made In tho Houto
and Ia the Senate. Senator Buck, not faneying
this wholesale way Of making appropriations,
had prepared naw bill With detailed, items Ia
the usual form; but at Atkins' solicitation -
:: IT WAS NOT H7ronTaD: ;, 'n':.
Mr. Blaine critcIsod the >Atkins' bill IN his
usual mcreiess way, and Mr. Beck hutl to DE-
fcnd It, although every ono knew that he ngrced
with Blaine. After some discussion Mr. Win
dom moved to recommit the bill, that tue bill
prepared by Beck might be reported by the
Committee. On this motion very mutliled
debate tuok place, mud the motion was 6na!iy
lost by party vote,-23 yexs against 81 nays.
So the Atklus House bill was considered, n.Id

stratca how absurtlly imperfect the bill was by

Nelson, of this city, is strongly impressed
with the usefulness of flour as remedy for
scalds. Her little son, Charlie, chanced to
pull over the, coffee-pot scalding his hand
and arm badly. She at once wrapped the
hand and arm in dry flour, and in an hours
time the little fellow was playing about un-
troubled. The flour must thoroughly cover
the burn, and put on thick enough to keep
air from the wound. Mrs Nelson says the
smarting effluvia, which is so annoying in
pairing onions, may be avoided by having
them covered with cold water when cutting
them.
TO Southern minds it is hard to under
stand the ''craze" of the New Workers in
relation to the walking match which went
on all last week Think of the crowds
necessary to make up $4,000 in ent, ance
fees, at 80 cents per head Think Of ten
thousand people standing for hours outside
the grounds to hear the bulletins of the
match Think of there being 100 report
ers present, day and night, to report the
proceedings. Think of all the daily papers
giving page, and sometimes two pages of
descriptions of the match Was there ever
nation like that same Universal Yankee
Nation?"
The match was won by Rowell, the plucky
little Englishman, who won the match last
spring. The score was, Rowell $50 miles !;
