W AsIIINGToN, February 9.-Bv ten
o'clock, an hour before the meeting of
the House, and two hours before the
time appointed for counting the cleo
toral votes for President and Vice
President, the galleries of the House
were filled with spectators. the large
majority Of whom were ladies, dcSi-
rous OF witnessing that ceremony. On
the hoora few wooden chairs were
sNndwichcd in between the seats O!
members Tor the accommodation of
Senators, but, otherwise, there was no
lndlcatlon that any save the usual rou-
tine OF the business Of the House was
TO be transacted. The Indifference
shown by the members who seemed
only anxious to obtain seats for their
friends in the galleries was in marked
contrast with the excitement which
prevailed during the electoral counts
OF four years ago.
After reading yesterdays journal
the morning hour was dispensed with
and the House, at Ills, went into
committee of the whole, Carlisle, of
Kentucky, in the chair, on the lewisln-
tive, executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill.
at ll.5o the committee arose, after
having concluded the consideration of
bill. ~
Singleton, Of Mississippi, offered a
resolution according the privileges of
the floor to ladies' who had not been
able to obtain seats in the galleries.
The resolution being adopted, n large
number of ladies entered the chamber
aud obtained seats.
~ few minutes past twelve the door
keeper announced the arrival of the
Nlcr-p resident and the Senate of the
l nltca States. who then filed into the
chamber. Nicr-prcsidrnt Wheeler
took seat on the right hand of Speak :
CT Randall, and the Senators were nc
commodatcu with chairs in the front
rows OF the desks.
The Nice-Prcsident called the assem-
bly, 20 order and said:
"Ihc two houses being assembled
/ m pursuance OF the constitution, thar
the votes may be counted and declared
for President and Nicc-presidcnt ON
the 9Th day of March, 1881, it becomes
my duty, under the constitution, as

Esquimaux Duck Spearing.

The following paragraph occurs in
a paper in .Scribner, by Col. Glider,
second officer of the Franklin search
party, entitled "Among the Esqui-
maux with Schwatka."
A most novel and interesting
method of bird catching is practiced
during the spring and early summer,
while the ducks and geese are molt-
ing and unable to fly. The Esqui-
maux puts his kyack-that is, his
sealskin canoe-on his head, like an
immense hat, and repairs to the lake,
or the seaside, where he has seen
the helpless birds swimming and
feeding in the water. Here he
launches his frail bark, anu, when
seated, which is not always accom-
plished without a ducking, takes his
double bladed oar in his hands and
at once starts in pursuit of the game.
Before him, on his kyack, where he
can seize it at the proper time, lies
his duck spear, together with other
implements of the chase. Cautious
ly approaching the featherless flock,
he sometimes gets quite near before
his presence is noticed; but even
then, before he is in striking dis
tance, there is a great splutter in the
water, as the band scatters in every
direction, vainly beating the water
with the curious looking stumps
that soon will wear their plumage
and once more do duty as wings.
Some dive below the surface and
come up a great way off, and always
just where you are not looking for
them; but as the flock takes alarm
the hunter dashes forward, feeling
the necessity for speed rather than
for caution. He is soon within 10
or 20 feet of the struggling mass,
and seizing curious looking spear,
with three barbs of equal length,
he poises it for moment in the
air, and then hurls it with unerrlng
aim at the devoted bird, impaling it
with sharpened iron or bone spike
in the centre of the barbs. The ham
die of the spear is wood, and floats
on the surface of the water, so that
the hunter can recover his weapon
and game at his leisure.

Elephants Playing 'Possnm.

said Mr.. Durand, Barnum's agent,
the otherday. Not long ago Chief.
tain and Maudrie, top mounters in
the pyramid, and the most cunning
of the flock, suddenly took chill
ling spell at rehersal. The keeper
sent out and bought four gallons Of
whiskey, which the monsters devour.
ed rapidly and with great relish.
The bill came to Mr. Barnum whose
strong temperance predictions you
know. After paying the bill Mr..
Barnum insisted that no one in his
employ, not even his elephants,
should drink whiskey under any
circumstances. In little while the
elephants, when the effects of the
liquor had died away, commenced
shivering again, and apparently had
another chill. They looked long
ingly at the keeper, and attempted
to caress him with their trunks, as
much as to say, Give us another
drink The keeper shook his head
and told them positively, NO II
five minutes every appearance o
ague had vanished, and the animals
were quietly eating hay as usual.
They have evidently been playing
'possom.'
