Ihe Senate bill amending tho charter Of the
Freedmen's Saving and Trust Company, passed.
The bill regulating the importation Of raw ma
terial used in the construction repairs of ves-
sells engaged in the foreign trade, including the
trade between Atlantic and Pacific ports of the
United States, or built on foreign account, was,
on motion Of Mr.. Frye, amended so as to pro-
vide that copper and spelter, of foreign growth
and production, manufactured In the United
States and used in the construction, equipment
and repair of vessels to be employed in foreign
trade, or built on foreign account, may be i'm
ported in bond, under the regulations as the
Secretary Of the Treasury may prescribe, and on
proof that such materials have been used and
manufactured for purposes aforesaid, no duties
shall be paid thereon. An amendment to ad-
NIT salt free Of duty was ruled out Of order.
The River and Harbor Appi opriation Bill was
amended so as to provide that the Secretary of
War shall cause to be let by contract all public
works provided for in this act, to the lowest re-
sponsible bidders, provided that in the opinion
OF the Secretary Of War the interests of the
Government should not be actually injured
thereby. Three pages of the forty were dis
posed of.
The Senate amendments to the joint resolu-
ton authorizing the President to invite the
government and people Of France to join the
government and people of the United States in

Fernando Wood was followed by the customary
resolutions and adjournment.

After few brief addresses had been pre-
sented to the House on the acceptance by Con-
| gress Of the statute Of Jacob Collamer, of YER
mont, the House went into Committee of the
| Whole upon the River and Harbor Bill. Every
amendment proposed was voted down
| THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL PASSES.
A motion to refer the River and Harbor Bill
| to the Committee on Judiciary, with instruc-
| tions to report it back with an amendment con-
fining the expenditures thereupon appropriated
to rivers, harbors, and streams within the mari
time and admiralty jurisdiction of the United
States, was defeated. The bill was then passed.
As originally reported to the House, it appro-
priated $40. las, 800. The only monetary change
made by the House was to strike out the
clauses appropriating $40, 900 for operating and
maintaining the Louisville and Portland Canal,
$4,000 for operating the st. Mary's Falls
Canal, and $4,000 for operating the Des
Moines Rapids Canal, and providing for per-
manent appropriation for those purposes.
There is, therefore, substantially no increase
or diminution to the amount originally recon-.
| mended.

The real old-fashioned Yankee is still
fixture among us, though some writers
would make us believe that he has been
dead for years. There was a genuine
specimen in the Erie depot yesterday,
and he was explaining to several inter
ested parties:
""Father-in-law lives here in Jersey
City, and I'm on visit like. Thought
I'd bring along few traps and things
and get up dicker or two. Any of We
like to invest in that %
He put out the model Of rat trap and
said:
s'This trap not only catches the var
mints, but it chokes 'em to death, throws
the body out of that back window, and
then resets itself. In the top is an alarm,
to go off any hour You want and wake
up the family Here's an apparatus ON
this side for grating spices. Any of you
like to buy county rights?"
No one did, and he then placed before
them vessel, about which he eA.
planned:
'sThis is now q water-pail. BY plac-
ing this iron cover on the bottom it be-
comes kettle. By inverting the cover
you have spider. The pail is half
bushel measure to a grain. Once around
it is exactly yard. Its weight is exactly
two pounds, and sell the county rights
for $50 each"
The next was boot-jack, which could
be transformed into fire-tongs, press
board, stove-handle, nailhammer and
several other things. He had an auger
which bored four holes at once, gimlet
which bored q square hole; washing
machine which could also be made to
serve as tea-table, and one or two other
things, and as he reached the last he
said: ss
Gentlemen, am full of speculations.
I'll invent anything you want. I'll sell
anything I've got I'll take pay in any
thing you have, and I'll give every one
of You chance to make million dol
lars"

the experience he has had in the fight as he
called it, "for LEISURE The private secretary
he has chosen, from among the hundreds
ex-congressmen and others who wanted the
place, is young man who has made progress
in the world in spite of obstacles similar to
those Garfield himself encountered. He is
the son OF Washington carpenter who strug-
gled along, educating himself, until he found
a position as private secretary to Major Powell,
the explorer The latter recommended him to
General Garfield as good stenographer, and
he has been writing the generals letters for
three years. Mr.. Brown accompanied General
Garfield to Mentor, and has almost been
adopted into the family, so useful, intelligent
unassuming and conscientious has he shown
himself to be. There is not young man i'm

lent opportunity to develop what there is in
him in the responsible and arduous position of

Several years ago Tobitha Screggs and Par

worked in a kitchen. Tobitha married we'll
to-do mechanic; Parthenia married a million
aire. Several days ago these two women met
for the first time since they worked together.
81 am very glad to see you,'' said Tobitha;
Time makes no difference in my friendship"
II remember how we used to throw pieces
Of biscuit at each other and giggle." continued
Tobitha.
II thank you very much" said Parthenia.
"And, Parthena want you to come and
see me. don't live in grand house, with
marvellous trees and enviabie walks but I've
got such pleasant place." t.tf
II thank you very much" said Parthenia,
with thick shadow of dissatisfaction on her
face; Il thank you very much; but think of
your apartments ..a|
"Oh, well," replied Tobitha, pretending
not to observe the allusion to the difference of
situation, II had not thought of that, but the
difficulty shall be obviated. If you feel deli
cacy in regard to my parlor, don't let that
put you out for to keep you in your natural
element, I'll send the servant away and re-
ceive you In the kitchen. You needn't turn
up your nose Parthenia, for you know when
we used to slash billing suds and hack hash"
But Parthenia had tainted. A blue mark
around her mouth told of the violent struggle.
