beautiful and touching. The general

welcome him within Its threshold,

She answered:

said; cit is not 30 bad as that.
Cheer up! The new President can
not part with his mother already"
Very much to her Own surprise she

FORTY.SEVENTH CONGRESS.
EXTRA SESSION.
SENATE,

Washington, r. Kellogg called
up his resolution asking heads of
executive departments for the names
of clerks and employees.
Brown moved to amend by asking
also whether they are white or col
Ored.
Kellogg's resolution regarding ap-
pointments to executive depart
ments, was opposed by Sherman; as
the present expensive register con-
tanned all the information required,
the resolution was superf1uous. The
resolution would be merely handle
to GUST valuable officers.
Bayard agreed in this view, and
moved to refer the resolution to the
committee on printing.
Brown thought the resolution
proper, but McDill'S resolution
would better cover the ground.
Kellogg held that the south had
not been fairly treated.
Referred to the committee on
printing, together with the McDill
resolutions of yesterday.
Hoar offered resolution directing
the election committee next session
to what measures are necessary for
the aScertaining and declaration of
the result of presidential elections,
adopted.
The Senate went into executive
session and when the doors re-
opened, adjourned.

THE LEGISLATIVE chaplains have
been indulging in something like
personal appeals to the throne of
grace the past winter. On Q recent
occasion the Pennsylvania chaplain
prayed: "Give these law makers, o
God, more brsins-more brains
more brninsP' The chaplain Of the
Illinois house asked God to give the
members more wisdom and greater
promptitude;" but the Maine chap
lain, who, like others, had become
tired Of the congressional deadlock,
went beyond his own state in bis
prayer, exolaiming with fervor: 80
Lordl have compassion on our be-
wildered representatives and senators.
They have been sitting and sitting,
and have Matched nothing. o Lord,
let them arise from their nest and go
home and all the praise shall be
thine" When our political prayers
get down TO business in this style, the
effect ought to be good upon all law
makers of high and law degree.

some OF the Minnesota newspapers
are denouncing as mean q party of
travellers who, being refused shelter
at the over crowded hotel put up for
she night in a sohool-house, taking
their horses in with them, and at.

would be ranging about the Willis of
Minnesota on horseback in a SNOW
storm; but if come OF the stories told
about the financial "nearness" of our
late visitors are true. there lie q
striking similarity between them and
the Minnesota travellers. A porter
on the train which brought the fret
party OF Bostonisns over the Union
Pacific is willing to make affidavit
that the iberslity towards him OF the

ing him q quarter and a lady

which be BACKED boots and
brushed clothes enough to have won
from an ordinary company of
travellers at least twenty-five dollars.
In telling his story the porter asserts
that If he knoWs anything of physi-
ology the besn-esters will never die
from enlargement of the heart. The
truth OF this yarn might be doubted
il itsWere not for a well-authenticated
circumstance of corroborsiive evil
denoe which occurred in the city on
the occasion of the visit Of the second
party of Hubites. At one OF the
hotels a lady inveigled a chamber
maid into expanding an hour and
much elbow grease upon q very dusty
suit, and rewarded the tired but e1-
pectant maid with three-cent piece.

soMErEEc r. radically wrong with

SOMETHING Is radically wrong with
modern preachers and modern reli-
gion. In New York Bob Ingersell
delivers q weekly lecture. assailing
the churches, the gospels, the religions,
and even the Deity OF Christianity, in
q most cruel fashion. He burlesques
all our ideas OF God, makes light Of
his alleged teachings and hits preach
ers and evangelists right and left. In
the minds OF Christians his lectures
sre sacrilegious. and violently wicked.
Notwithstanding all this his audi.
ences are large, people eagerly pay
ing Soc. and 81 tor the privilege OF
listening to the abuse of God and
assaults upon religion. On the other
hand the churches are empty, though
inducements, aside from the instruc-
tion in the way of salvation, are held
out TO people to attend the services.
Costly tickets OF admission are not
required al the door, and the pastors
90 about during the week encourage
ing people to come TO church. That
something is wrong is clear enough,
but what that something is we shall
not attempt to say. 1t is not, how
ever. that people are growing wicked
and more immoral. Crime increases
no faster than the population, and
the masses are no more wicked, ac-
cording to the moral code, than they
we're a century ago when the churches
were filled on Sundays, and it would
have been personally unsafe for
Ingersoll to have read one of his
infdel lectures in public.
