AT A STAND STILL.
A CRIMINAL COURT AND ISDIAA
BUREAU STOPPED
For the Want OF u United States MArshAl
and u superintendent Sentiment
IN Favor ofAn Executive Session
AmOuE the Republican Sen.
aIOFs-BenAte OOInES,

WASHINGTON, April ls.-Some OF the
Republican Senators now express them
selves in favor OF an Executive session for
the confirmation OF certain nominations,
and the general belief seems to be that
this policy will be adopted, and that this
conclusion may be reached without the
necessity Of holding a caucus.
No criminal cases can be tried in this
district because there Is no United States
Marshal to serve processes, and the In.
dian Bureau Ia embarrassed for want Of a
legitimate head to direct it.
PROCEEDINGS IN THR SENATE.
The Vice President laid before the Sen.
ate the unfinished business, the resolution
for the election Of Senate officers.
Mr.. Harris referred to the article recent
ly quoted by Mr.. Malone from the Inter.
national Review, to the effect that the State
oil Tennessee repudated Sll ,000 900 OF her
debt, and asserted that there was no truth
In the statement. Tennessee had at no
time repudiated single penny OF her
debt, 1t had been said that Porter, OF the
Census Bureau, had been the author OF the
article, thus giving 1t q semi official char
aCter.
Porter had, indeed, been the author, but
had, in communication to him Harrisl,
denied that 1t was an official statement Of
the debt OF Tennessee, and corrected vari.
ous misstatements In the article.
A nn inin
was lost-yeas 20, nays 81.
MIR. Johnston was permitted to offer a
resolution, which was adopted, calling on
the Attorney. General for certain papers In
relation to the report Of special agent oi
the treasury Department touching the
Western Judicial District OF Virginia.
After some time consumed in roll calls
aud various dilatory motions, Mr.. Dawes
said he did not care copper whether one
officer or another was IN office, but he de.
sired 10 have 1t settled before the country
whether this was government OF the
majority or not.
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Dawes Salisbury, Burnside and Beck.
The latter argued against the right OF the
mSjority to elect officers at the extra ses.
sion, and declared that in December next
they would be willing 10 consider the reso.
luton, but in his judgement Mr.. Riddle.
berger would not be made ssrgeant.at.
arms In December. The Virginia election
would then be over, and II the Republic.

tender for Sergeant.at.arms some one who
WAS conservative Republican. who had
fought through the war In the Federal
army, who would be here with his wounds
on him, and then then the Republicans
could choose between the Confederate
repudiating RiddIeberger and that man
who would be rendered to them, he
thought, by a Republican :Seuator.
1t might as we'll be understood that
in December next the Republicans would
not put Riddleberger I'M any promises
which he might make In Virginia that
would prove iallaCious.

new points were developed, the Senate
adjourned,

Ladies' Fall and Winter Dresses.

The earliest importations of French
dresses are made up of short dresses
for day wear, with very long trained
skirts for full dress; the medium demi-
train does not appear in the first in
voices. Very rich fabrics that give the
greatest appearance of warmth are
used, such as the polka-dotted velvets,
brocaded velvet with large detached
figures, and plush, with cloth for plain
er costumes; the warmest colors also
appear in abundance, especially in the
accessories that form trimmings, though
many beautiful costumes are shown In
two tones of the same color, especially
when heliotrope or other puppies are
employed. The dull copper reds are
very stylish as an illumination for black:
heliotrope and lavender are also effect
lively used with black. The satin en-
ployed for draperies is very soft, and is
called Surah satin, though its lustrous
surface requires close weaving that
conceals the twills that are the special
feature of Surah silks. The corsaees of
new dresses are made with as few
seams as possible, and are therefore of
the simplest shapes. The short side
forms of the back are used almost with
out exception, though some modistes
still prefer having two side forms in the
way introduced by Worth several years
ago. Skirts of French dresses are

Died as u King Should.

J. E. MURDOCH has written book
on the stage, in which occurs the fol-
lowing story:
Mr.. Macready was fond of telling the
following story as his experience of
American independence. exempliied in
a western actor of the self-satisfied
kind: lin the last act of Hamlet"
said he, II was very anxious to have
the King. who was rather of a demo-
cratic turn Of mind, to fall, when I
stabbed him, over the steps OF the
throne and on the light hand side, with
his feet to the left, in order that when
l was to fall I should have the center
OF the stage to myself. as befitting the
principal parsonage of the tragedy. No
objection was made to this request on
the part of the actor; but at night, to
my great surprise, he wheeled directly
round after receiving the sword-thrust,
and deliberately fell in the middle of
the scene. just on the spot where was
in the habit of dying. Well; as dead
man cannot move himself, and as there
was no time for others to do it, the
Kings body remained in possession of
my place, and was forced to find an
other situation, which I did, and fin
ished the scene in the best way I could.
When I expostulated with his Majesty
for the liberty he had taken, he coollY
replied: Mr.. Macready, we Western
people know nothing about Kings ex-
cept that they have an odd trick Of do
ing as they please; therefore, thought
as was King had right to do
whatever I pleased; and so, sir, fell
back upon my kingly rights, from
which, you perceive, sir, there is no
appeal retired,'' said Mr.. Mac

A New JERSEY fox that had been
tanned secured the friendship of dogs,
but, from his peculiar odor, cats kept
aloof from him. They would not walk
upon any spot where the fox had been
standing. He used his knowledge of
this to cheat pussy out of his breakfast.
AS soon as the servant poured out the
cats allowance of milk the fox would
run up to the spot and walk around the
saucer, well knowing that the rightful
owner would not touch it. Day after
day the cat lost his milk, until the trick
was found out, and the milk placed in
spot where the fox could not reach it.
After he had been stopped from rob-
bling the cat he tried his cunning on the
dairymaid as she was bringing the pals
from milking. As she was passing along
the fox went up to her and brushed him
self against one of the milkpails. The
milk became so ta;nted with the smell of
the fox that the maid dare not take it to
the house, and thoughtlessly poured it
into pan and gave it to him. The crafty
animal repeated this trick several times,
but when he found that the spoiled milk
was given to the pigs instead of to him.
self, he gave up his attempts.
