Sunday schools, and now have under
their care 111,89l pupils many re-
viyals have been enjoyed. The board
reports the organization of 1876
churches, and an increase in member
ship Of 1882, Of whom 1888 were by
letter and GIG on profession Of faith.
Financially, the year had been n Of
hardship to contributors and mission
aries. Long continued financial dis
tress in the country had led to wide
spread discouragements. The receipts,
while twenty-five per cent. less than
the amount called for, were SIT 1866 in
excess of 1877 and '78.

Mcdonald Asks Leave to Intro
duCe an Important Bill
Edmunds Objects.
The Bill to Transfer Cases from State
to Federal Courts.

WASHINGTON, May 2O-SENATE.-
Mr.. Mcdonald (Indiana) asked leave
to introduce a bill authorizing the
President of the United States to
employ the militia and land and
naval forces of the United States to
enforce the laws wherever their xe-
cution are obstructed by combinations
too powerful to be suppressed by the
judicial authorities, etc, and prevent
ing the military from being used as a
posse commieatus except in cases as
authorized by the constitution and
laws.
Mr., Edmunds objected to the intro
duction of the bill on the ground that
previous notice had not been given.
Mr.. Mcdonald withdrew the bill
and gave notice that he should ask
leave to introduce it tomorrow.
Consideration OF the legislative,
judicial and executive appropriation
bill was then resumed.
HoUsE.-The business of the morn
ing hour was the bill to amend the
laws relating to the transfer of cases
from the State to the Federal courts,
and Mr.. Urner con cluded his argu-
ment against it saying; There was
but one power sovereign and supreme
in this broad land, and that was the
power of the government of the United
States"
Mr., Fry moved to lay the bill or
the table.
Mr.. Saunders read a short speech IN
opposition to the bill, that the use o.
Tho military is ne cessary to secure fan
elections in the South.
Mr.. White said the political clause.
Of the bill were not extensive enough
to meet his views, which were opposed
to all Federal interference, civil o
military, in State affairs. In hi
Judgment there is no such a thing as
national election. Elections are eithe

Nine Taglioni's horror of the
wreath of tulle which the ballet dan
Ger of the present day wears around
her waist is quite interesting. And it
is not only in the cause of modesty,
but Of art, that she objects to the
fashion, 1t may well be asked whether
anything more ugly and offering a
greater Offense to the beau of the hui
man form could be invented. Nine
TagliOni would not find it so hard to
approve the fashion If it we're only
~indecorous, instead of being ugly as
well, although she herself was never
persuaded to wear a petticoat which
would show her knee. She has beer
audacious enough to believe that
feminine modesty can be as fasci-
mating as feminine immodesty her
creed being that the very fOunda-
ton Of the art of dancing is never
to forget ones sex as so many dancers
do. Once at Milan, an Austrian gen
tleman, to whom she had a letter of
introduction, when calling upon her,
made this pathetic appeal: "0l
Nine. Taglioni, will you excuse my
asking you whether it would not be
Dossible TO have your skirts ma lie a
little shorter" Madame replied by
another question ALLOW me to ask
you if youi are married p No
he answered. " IL you were married,
would you like to see your wife or
your daughters In such short dress n
Why, no" " Well, said Madame.
" dance not for you, but for wives
and daughters" In Russia, on one
occasion when Taglioni was dancing,
some m told the Emperor Nicholas
that it was impossible TO see her
knee. He was 50 surprised that he
left his box and went down into
the stalls in order TO try and catch a
glimpse Of il. But he was disappoint-
ed, it was impossible the dancers
dress was well calculated to battle
even gazers from the stalls. Taglioni
herself was edited, during the per-
Torrance, by being told that the en-
peror had gone below in order 10 try
and see her knees. The dress which
she wore is one which now looks
