The joint committee of the library
have under consideration a proposition
to purchase the sword worn by Gener-
al Washington when he resigned his
commission at Annapolis. The sword
is offered for sale to the Government
by Mr.. H. III. Lewis, of Maryland, who
has come into possession of it by inher-
itance, through Major Lewis, neph-
ew of General Washington. The &C
ton of the committee will doubtless
inspire our Jealous antiquaries to res.

which George cut the cherry tree.
A subscription list is being circulated
in the House of Representatives in aid

About seventy-five members have con-

many dollars Of our dads, before it is
sent to the Emerald Isle. In emula-
ton of the example of our national

Washington are organizing with q

ongress Yesterday.

In the United States Senate, yesterday,
a large number of bills were introduced,
and referred. A joint resolution was in
troduced providing for special commit
tee to consider the best means of pro-
noting agriculture. Mr.. Hoar spoke in
favor of his resolution declaring the
democratic programme in regard 10 the
appropriation bills unconstitutional and
revolutionary. AT the conclusion of Mr.
Hoar's speech motion from the demo-
cratic side to adjourn, because of the alb
sence OF Senator Thurman, who has
this matter in charge, was adopted by a
strict party vote-yeirs 81, nays rs.

Virginie, in interfering with the action
of the State judges holding State courts
in accordance with the laws of Virginia,

How to Give a Horse n Fine
Coat.

I am frequently asked the question,
"Doctor, what can l do to make my
horse have a fine coat ?' In answering
that question would say: A little ell
bow grease, with proper feeding, warm
clothing, frequent sweating, and good
grooming, are the essentials necessary IN
producing fine healthy coat upon
horse. Blain, who ls good authority,
saws: "For dressing there are these
things: the curry-comb, which fetches
out the dust; the hard wisp, little
moistened, that tax IS out more dust got
| from HIM, and the felt a little moistened,
that takes out from him more dust after
ward bat the wet hand, which should
be last, takes not only more dust, but a
good deal of loose hair, which is much
better than auy of the former; after this
linen cloth, to wipe them over; and
| then wooden cloth, and so cloth MN up
But the best of all is the knife lscraper)
OF heat for when he is hot, scraping gets
all the sweat and moisture out of him, SO
that he is dry presently after, and as
| that wet would turn to dust, there is so
much labor saved.-Mtch,gan Farmer.

LETTER FROM SAM'L TOWNSEND
For the DELAWARE GAZETTE.

For the DELAWARE GAZETTE.
When | spoke Of representation in this
county and State of Delaware, | mean
according to population; and members
of the Legislature and Levy Court to be
/ rominated and elected in single districts,
each hundred making district, except
the city of Wilmington, and that city to
regulate by wards. But in no event is
New Castle county to have less mum
ber of Senators and Representatives in
the Legislature than Kent and Sussex
both toeether-as the population of New
Castle is equal at least to the population
of both the other counties, and the peo-
pie equally as white and entitled to their
lust rights. Further submission TO Kent
and Sussex is cowardce in New Castle
county; therefore. hencefoIth l advise
the citizens of New Castle county to not
submit to dictations of the two lower
counties not day longer than can be
helped, and if they will not in the Legis-
lature pass an act calling convention,
then the masses of New Castle county
should at once call one, for the power of
| free government rests in the masses, and
we having the majority can originate the
calling of convention in this way, and
should do it.

1t Was The Woman Who DidIt

Did the late Parson BrOwnlow take a
bribe for $4,000 in 1868 ? An investiga-
ting committee of the Tennessee Leeisla-
ture has declared that he did; his widow
Indignantly declared that he did not. To
correspondent of the Louisville Cour-
ier-.J Journal she tells her story of the tran
saction commented upon ny the commit
tee. Briefly: AT tue close of the war
her husband and the late General Thorn
as had exerted their personal Influence
with Washington authorities to secure
the restoration of the Tennessee rail i
roads to the home companies, her hus-
band thinking this of vital Importance to
the welfare of the State, and IN 1866 the
roads were restored. In1866 five railroad
men, four of them Democrats, all neigh
bors aud personal friends, called at the
house, asked for Mrs. s.Brownlow W told her
they were aware her husbands salary
did not enable them to have his family
with hm in Nashville, and handed her
an envelope containing five 81 900 bills.
She saw no improperly in accepting the
present then, and she sees none now. The
committees association thai her husband
subsequently caused a large number of
bonds TO be issued to the Tennessee and
Pacific Railroad is incorrect. The bonds
n question We're Issued, the Parsons
friends assert, under the admins tration

Miss DOsls Again.

She Shows hop TO Make an Orerton
Puddiny, Scotch iSc0nes and Apple
F2iHers, and hoU TO BroH Mutton
Chops.
Miss Dods appe ared again in the lee
tire room of the Grand Opera House,
yesterday afternoon, with her gas stove
and cooking utensils, and gave another
cookery lecture TO the large number of
ladies present.
She first prepared an Overton pudding,
making crust with ounces OF -four,
three ounces of butter, one half teaspoon
ful Of baking powder and gill and a
half of water. In the crust she mixed
two table-spoonfuls of bread crumbs, one
gill of milk and one egg, to which she
added two table-spOonfuls of preserves
and two ounces Of sugar. She baked
this compound twenty-five minutes, and
the result was pudding of delicious
flavor and spelendid appearance.
Miss Dods next prepared some of the
famous Scotch scenes. She took one
pound OF flour, added good pinch of
salt, mixed in one ounce of butter and
kneaded the -four we'll. She then put in
half ounce of sugar, a small teaspoon
ful Of carbonate Of soda and two tea
spoonsful OF cream of tarter, mixing
them on plate before putting them in
the flour. Nearly IA pint of new milk
was added, and the flour worked into a
moist dough, after which it was cut in
half and each piece of dough rolled
into cake about a half inch thick. The
cakes were cut across twice, about a
quarter Of an inch deep, put on slightly
Toured baking tin, and baked for twenty
minutes. They were then taken out
brushed with the yolk of an egg, ,sprinkled
| with sugar AID returned to the oven Tor
one minute. They were then taken out
again nicely Drowned and looked good
enough for king to eat.
| Miss Dods next made some apple fit.
tiers, aud showed how to brol some
mutton chops and make a nice brown
sauce for them. She also made some
Dresden patties. and closed with some
suggestions in regard to making bread
and preparing coffee. During the lee
ture the ladies' were busy taking down
the recipes and other notes OF the lecture
| and number of questions were asked
which the lee urer readily and cheerfully
answered. The cooked articles were
sold at auction by b. 5. Clark, Jr. This
evening Miss Dods will deliver another
! lecture, commencing at 7.30 O'Clock.

Rushed Aiong-7he Farmers Bank
Birectors-Mr. Rust Put Right
The Funtling Scheme Killed, dc.
Special Correspon de nee of the Gazette.
DOVER, March 25, 1879.
The Legislature is gradually legislat-
ing itself out of existence. Signs Of an
approaching end are noticeable every
where. The hurried rush of business,
the promptness of the reports of commit
tees, the suspension Of the rules to read
bills more tines than one and the grad
ual dwindliog away of the measures yet
to be acted upon all give evidence that
the session is drawing to a close. Every
body mutually agrees that the Speakers
gavels will fall for the last time on
Friday next, although no day has yet
been fixed. The House is letting the
Sena e's joint resolution to adjourn on
tomorrow quietly alone, and is SO busy
that it considers such things of too little
Importance to be ever spoken Of More
business of useful and distinct nature
was done by both houses to-day than on
any previous day during this session.
The House held an evening session.
TIE STATE FARMERS BANK DIRECTORS.
| There was sort Of a hitch between
the two houses in relation to the State
directors. The resolution appointing
them was adopted in the House last Fri
day all the old directors were continued
except Loxley II. Jacobs whose name
was withdrawn from the Board Of George
town directors and that of Ebe Trunnell
substituted. The Senators did not like
this action very much and but Mr.Jacobs
back in his place. The House refused To
accede to this and asked The Senate to
recede from this amendment. The Sen
ate did rot like this and asked for COM
mittee on conference.
MIR. RUST RIGHTED.
Mr.. Rust takes exception to my allu-
sion to him in my letter published in
Saturdays GAZETTE. He thinks the
letter is likely to convey the idea that
by introducing the Railroad Commission
er bill in the Senate when similar one
was pending in the House he was endeav-
oring to gain force for the movement III
small way. He says the introduction
Of the bill sanctioned unanimously by
the Senate aud if the members voted
against it, it was not 10 ,ause of any ir-
regularity on that point, but because they
were opposed to the measures. l am
really sorry that Mr.. r., should construe
the article as an intentional reflection up
on him and only too glad to correct any
impression, detrimental to him, that may
have gone forth. Those who know Mr..
Rust best will not for moment barbor
such an idea, and in closing on this point,
will say that it was the farthest from
my intentions that such construction
should be placed in what said.
BRIEF MENTION.
The Lottery bill that was INTRODUCED
on Monday and synopsis OF which was
published in to-day's GAZETTE does not
enter into the general discussion of Leg
isatve doings. The principle urger OF
the movement, is j. IL. Harding Of
Philadelphia, brother of w. w. Hard
ing of the Inquirer.
With little difficulty Mr.. Hall sue
ceeded in getting the Funding Debt bill
