Inc House at 10 o'clock went into
committee on the sundry civil bill, and
after various amendments were made, to>
DAY session began and the sundry civil
Dill continued under discussion. Thele was
long discussion on Mr., Morse's amend
ment to Increase the Atlantic coast geode
tic survey to $500 600, Mr. Blount arguing
that it was not practical benefit to most
of the people.
Messrs. Hawiey, Garfield and Hooker
advocated 1t aud the amendment was
adopted. The amendment was adopted.
The amount for the Pacific coast was in-
creased from $l6l,000 to $lS0,OOO. The
item for furniture for public buildings
was increased to $lSOOO0
Messrs. Finley, Sparks and Blount
opposed extravagant appropriations.
Mr.. Blount urged the Democrats who
were voting with the Republicans not to
urnish them with campaign ammunition,
Mr.. Oalkins hoped the Democratic
Whippers in could not control the Dem
ocratic Independents.
The amendment as amended above
was rejected. A discussion arose as to
the Secretary of the Treasury's request
for an appropriationfto build a place. to
store the $64. 100000 of silver coin.
Mr., Garfield thought is as necessary
as the appropriation for the clerks desk.
Mr.. Wright said ''pay the public debt
with it,"
Mr.. Blackburn sustained this and said
the Secretary went on.hoarding this coin
when he might pay it out,
Mr., Buckner moved to redue the
amount appropriated to $50 900 and pro
hibit the increase of enc and two dollar
United States notes, and directing the
Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
bonds of 1881 with any surplus coin over
$780, 100000.
Mr., Wright moved to amend by requir-
in the Secretary to buy bonds with ell
eoi1 for which there is not storage. Both
these amendments we're ruled out.

Of the Treasury's object was 20 discre6it

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, al first local, and finally
constitutional.
?. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
8. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhoea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption.
5. That Smokes. Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble Snufs. cannot possibly remove in
fectious infAmmations from the organs named.
6. That ansantidote ior Catarrh must pos
sess an inoculative affinity for, and the quality
Of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
