THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

House Bmsiness-A Probable Demand
 for Financial Legislati0n.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-To-morrow being Monday, States will be called in the House of Representatives for bills and resolutions for reference. After that it will be in order to move to suspend the rules. This Is the hour that is dreaded by the average Congressman because he is forced to go upon the record on questions which he has not had an opportunity to properly consider. h fact motions and bills which the House Is asked to vote upon under these suspensions are generally repre- sentation of individual views of some member, or they are suffered solely for buncombe, or in other words to catch the House. Under these motions members have not infrequent1y made records for themselves which they had found difficulty in explaining to their constitu- ents. In order to fight of their votes motions are often made to adjourn as soon as the call of the States has been concluded. Such 8 motion is not improbable tomorrow, but as there has not been an opportunity to move to suspend this session, and as large number of members have subjects prepared upon which motion will not likely prevail. There have been number of financial resolutions pre- pared, and if the chance is given one will be offered declaring it to be inaxpedient to agitase the financial question at this time. As no debate is allowed under motions to sus- pend the rules members will be compelled to show their hands by the process of voting. It will require two-thirds to pass resolutions, but the vote will demonstrats whether a majority of the House is in favor of or against financial legislation.

A Snow Blockade.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11.-For forty-eight hours a snow storm has ragged in the Sierra Nevada mountains, along the line of the Cen tral Pacific railroad The snow fell to depth of eight or ten feet and the wind drifted the cuts full. Three snow slides occurred between Emigrant Gap and Cisco, crushing the sheds and blockading the track. In some places the snow is twenty five feet deep on the top of the wrecked sheds. Five hundred feet of she'd ding west of Tamarack station has been de- stroyed. The overland passenger train from the East, and the Virginia City fast train, which left this city Friday. are 8. Gold Run. The passenger train from the East Is on ths side track at Truckee awaiting for the blockade to be raised. A large force of men and snow ploughs are at work removing the snow from the wrecked sheds. Telegrams report the storm as subsiding, and it is believed the road will be cleared if no further slides occur.

Wagner Said To Re Dying.

LONDON, Jan. 11.-Telegrams received from Bayreuth, in Bavaria, state that Wag- ner, the composer, is dying. His health for some time past has been poor, and short time ago he decided to start for Italy to re- main during the winter. He rented the beautiful Villa Posilipo, near Naples, where he has been expected daily during the past week. His condition, however, has been so precarious that his physicians have refused to allow him to undertake the journey.

Wei Do Meyer's Treatise OF Cata-z--., explains the following important facts: 1. That Catarrhal Colds become pc.- sonoy1s infection, at first local, and finally constitutional.
 2. That, being Constitutional tho infection is beyond the reach of mere local remedies. 3. That impurities in the nostrils, arc necessarily swallowed into tho stomach ard inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning t4e Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs. 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the cous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsia. Chronic Diarrhpa, Bronchitis, Leucorrhcel, and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations, an4 Insoluble Snufs, cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the organs named. 6. That an antidote for Catarrh must pos scss m inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, tho purulent mucous wherever located.
 Based upon these plain theories, y-. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infallible. It not only relieves, it cures Catarrh at any stage. Home testimony: Cured !! Cured !! Cured! Cured W. D wooDs, 4s7 Broadway NY, Cured of Chronic

Trichina.

A New York newspaper says: Doc
cor +. S. Billings has recently written
a highly interesting paper on trichin@
in hogs and in man. From this 1t
would seem that this disease, which
most Americans consider as peculiar to
Germany, is in reality much more pre-
valent in this country than elsewhere.
For example, from an examin alton Of
several thousand hogs sent frum vari-
Gus parts OF the w est, Doctor Billings
found that on an average one in eighteen
of them was diseased in this way; while
out of nearly two million hogs examined
in Germany in 1876. eight hundred only
were found trichinous. That this dis
case is not oftener communicated to man
in this country, is wholly due to the fact
that pork is rare eaten here until it is
cooked. II we were in the habit of eat
ing uncooked smoked pork. in ham or
sausage, as it is commonly eaten in
Germany, the number OF deaths that
would be caused by trichine would be
alarmingly large. The parasites are so
small that their presence can only be
detected by a microscope. and it is esti-
mated that in eating what W ould be the
ordinary meal of a man, Of diseased
pork, it would be easy 10 take into the
stomach not less than one million
triahin@. Doctor Thudichum, in re-
porting to the English privy council,
describes the symptoms Of trichiniasis
in man as folio VS.: Sudden swelling
of the face. particularly the eyelids,
after the patient has for some days felt
PROSTATE and has lost his appetite (this
swelling causes feeling OF tension, but
no pain) fever. with quick pulse and
copious perspiration; the muscles are
swelled and give great pain when moved
or touched. In worse cases the entire
body is immOvable and sensitive; there
is diarrhes, with red, somewhat
covered tongue, inclinipg TO dryness.
When the swelling in the face has sub
sided ~dema of the fee, legs, and
thighs come on; shortly after anasarca,
swelling over the trunk, makes its APP
pearance." Although these are the
phenomina the disease itself exhibits,
it is the opinion of experts that the
muscles of many people, in numbers in
sufficient to produce material trouble.
Certain it is that in several surgical
cases OF late their presence has been dis
covered. Doctor Billings asserts that
the surest way to prevent them is to
have the pork before being cooked. cut
in relatively thin slices. Frying and
boiling are the most effective means of
destroying them; roasting comes next.
Boiling coagulates the albumen on the
outer surface. and allows the heat t.
penetrate less readily, and for this rea-
son large pieces OF meat should be boiled
for ut least two hours.

Could CENSUS BE TAKEN OF those
