A Lively Senate Session-MahOne Defends
Himself Against His Assistants.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2S.-The
announcement that Senator Malone
would to-day address the senate in vim
dication of his action, and in ex-
PLANTATION Of the principles of the Read
jusser party in Virginia, had the effect
of drawing TO the capitol large audi
dienee, and as early as 10 O'Clock, the
doors leading to the galleries were sur
rounded by an impatient crowd, and
within ten minutes after they were
opened every available seat was taken
with the exception of those reserved for
the diplomatic corps; they were, how
ever. occupied before the hour of the as,
sembling of the senate. On the floor in
rear of the senator's desks were seated a
large number of persons. many of them
representatives elect; while in the vari-
Gus corridors, those who had the mister
/ tune 10 arrive late, congregated and be-
walled their i'll luck.
The journal of Saturday having been
read, the vice president laid before the
senate q resolution for the appointment
of the senate officers, stating that the
senator from Virginia had the floor.

speech by expressing regret that lie

greatly mistaken. President Garfield
has never concealed from any one
either in New York, Pennsylvania, Oh
elsewhere, his plan in dealing with
the Republicans in the distribution OF
the patronage under his administration
Months ago he announced his determin.
alton TO recognize all elements of the
party which contributed to its success
last fall, regardless of what occurred al
Chicago, and that it was his purpose to
do all in his power to heal differences
and make the party q harmonious Or
ganization. To do this he decided to rec
ognize the leaders without reference to
which faction they might belong. In
the conference at Mentor with Senators
Conkling, Cameron aud Logan and all
others who talked with him on the sub
ject, he Stated explicitly what he pro-
posed to do in regard to this matter.
Neither of these gentlemen made any
objection, but indicated their entire ac-
uuiescence in his views. After his arri-
val here, and before he was inaugurated,
he reiterated the same idea, and has re-
peatedly announced the same thing in
talking with all the different elements
of the party since his occupancy of the
White house.

Iabitual Mouth Breathing.

Many people sleep with the mouth
open, and thus make this organ per-
form duty which should be transacted
by the nose. There are many objec
tions to this, and DIR. Wagner clearly
points them out. The air in passing
through the channels of the nose, for
instance, is raised to the temperature of
the body before it reaches the larynx.
Thus breathing, now matter how low
the temperature may be, the sense of
cold is never felt below the border of
the soft palate. But when one breathes
through the mouth on q cold day the
eensation proceeds as far as the larynx,
and an irritating cough may be caused.
Then, again, in nose breathing the air
is mosLened by the natural secretions
which cover the turbinated bones in
condition OF health, and the short
bristly hairs at the openings of the nos
trils act as q filter TO arrest impurities
and reduce the likelihood of laryngial,
bronchial or pulmonary disease. In
fants, athletes, savages and animals
breathe through the nose; the ordinary
civilized man employs the mouth to an
unnecessary, and often to very iniuri-
Gus, extent.
The causes Of mouth breathing are
myriad. Complete or partial closure Of
the passages, polypus, congenital bony
closure, enlarged tonsils, protruding
teeth, adhesion of the soft palate of the
posterior wall of the phaiynx-all these
are sufficient causes of mouth breathing.
| The indications are not so subtle as not
to be readily recognized. Retracted
lips, open mouth, receding gums, pro
tfuding teeth. shrunken alae, decreased
eize of the nostlils' orifces, wrinkles at
the eyes outer angles, and lines ex.
tending from the alae to the mouth
angles are the predominant signs. The
effects of mouth breathing upon the
pharynx are often most deplorable The
mucous membrane becomes much irri-
tated. A chronic engagement of the
blood vessels may take place, until
permanent Utilization of the vessels is
produced, and so on until the disease
known as clergyman's sore throat is
produced. The writer devotes o part
of his space to showing the bad results
of sleeping with the mouth open, and
suggests an appropriate remedy. If all
snorers were to adopt t one of the most
disagreeable noises Of the night would
be silenced, for people who breathe
through their noses while sleeping never
snore. The fifty short and clearly
printed pages of which this monograph
consists appear to exhaust the subject.

Temper.

Happy is he who can command his
temper even under trying circum-
stances. The evils wrought by un-
bridled tempers are beyond calculation.
The violent temper of fretful and iras-
chile man gives his friends much con-
cern. His conduct while under it's in
fuence renders him unamisble, and, of
course, greatly diminishes their regard
for him. And this is not all. If he has
any real responsibility, the emotions he
feels ire as painful as those he causes
in the breasts of others. When the
calm of retirement succeeds to the bus
tie of company. his solitary moments
are embittered by very mortifying re-.
fections; for it has been well remarked
"that anger begins with folly and ends
with repentance" A few bitter words
spoken in anger may rankle for q life
time. Self-command, besides prevent
ing their utterance, enables us to main
tain the dignity of our nature as intel
ligent beings by establishing the empire
of reason over passions. 1t renders a
person the master of himself under all
the various circumstances of life; in
prosperity, cheerful without insolence;
and in adversity, resigned and calm
without detection. 1t gives an effectual
check to all the vicious propensities OF
envy, malice and anger; and in the
same proportion as it restrains them, il
encourages the growth of virtue, pre-
vents them from running into extremes
and fixes their due bounds.
