THE HOUSE CONTESTS.
Democratic PrOcrastinatiOn--Re
Iican Plans for Pushing Business.

democratic PrOcraStimatiOn--Ke
Iican Plans for Pushing business.
Washington Telegram to Inter ocean,
The daily attitude of the two parties
in the House grows more and more sig
nifcant. The Republicans are trying to
rush things, and Randall and his DEM
ocratic followers are making desperate
efforts to retard business. AS explained
i'll these dispatches some time ago, the
plan of Randall and the Democratic
leaders was originally to make this do
nothing session. The Republicans have
had the majority, and have been crippled
by absenteeism. They have managed,
however, to secure the cooperation of
enough Greenbackers with the two Re
adj1sters to defeat the procrastinat-
ing tactics of the other side. In
this way the reapportionment, the
polygamy question, the Chinese
emigration problem, the tariff and
the Geneva award, have been dis
posed of in succession. It has for some
time been tried, too, to make this Con-
gross amenable to the charge of impa-
tience. Now the fight has come to a
struggle for an hour or day or part
of day. Every measure is fought for
day or two, or a vote is put over til
the next day, or an afternoon is spent
in fllbustering or some pretext in a des-
perate effort to use up the time inch by
inch.
Such has been the course on the tariff,
the Geneva award and the Bank BILL
The Republican leaders decided upon
one Of several courses suggested, which
is to bring forward and dispose of bills
of general importance first, such as
the Agricultural Department, Geneva
Award and the Bank Charter bills.
They can rely upon the neces-
sary appropriations to hold Congress
for them, and they think that party
spirit may with equal safety be relied on
to keep Congress here for the election
cases. Now, Randall's struggle to kill
time is simply to save the election cases.
He relies upon hot weather and the ap-
preaching contests for reelection to dis
perse Congress without unseating the
fraudulently returned Southern Demo-
Gratis. Here comes the battle. The Re-
publican leaders realize that it is of vital
consequence to the organization of the
party in the South to repudiate the
frauds this session, or no hope of gains
in the Forty eighth Congress need be
INDUCED in. They do not intend to adj
journ until these contests have been
disposed Of They have told Randall
that his course will result in but one
thing, the protraction Ct The session,
because they control the committees, and
they do not intend to let the appropria-
ton bills come in until the election cases
are disposed of. 1t has come to a qnes
ton of endurance, and both sides are
mad,

C. A. Arthur" Formerly of Kansas

TO the long list of "formerly of Kan

Chester A. Arthur, President of the
United States. In the summer of 1857
Gen. Arthur, then young man of q,
came to the Territory with view of 10
eating. He spent tWo or three weeks in
Leavenworth and purchased large
number of town lots. He remembers
several of the brilliant young mon who
then resided there, and whose acquaint-

Gen. Arthur went by stage to Lecompton.
Among his feilow-passengers we're Gen.

The Advantage of Two Ives.

In response to the question. "What is
the use of having two eyes ?" the
answer has been given, "to have one
left if the other is hurt" Much as we
may admire the sagacious foresight of
this youthful Psychologist, it will not be
sufficient to rest contented with his ulti-
matum. He had evidently not tried his
skill to find how unexpectedly he would
miss the inkstand while endeavoring to
dip his pen into it at arms length, with
one eye closed. He had not thought of
holding his finger few inches in front
of his face to find what of the wall it
would hide from each eye in succession,
or how differently it would look when
regarded from those two points of view
separately, how much thicker it would
appear when both eyes are open, how
readily he could examine three sides of
it at once, how much more definitely he
could judge its distance; in word, how
much more comprehensive was the in
formation given by two eyes if used at
the same moment. Assuming that he
knows exactly how to account for inver-
sion of the retinal image and the erect
appearance of the object there pictured,
how our visual perceptions are only signs
of what we momentarily feel on the
retina. signs that generally represent
the realities with fair degree of ac-
curacy, but may sometimes represent
almost anything else on demand, how,
if the eyes be healthy, we have no con-
seriousness Of possessing any retina at
all, but instantly and unconsciously refer
every retinal sensation to some external
body whose existence we are obliged to
assume, unless there be special argu-
ments to the contrary-grantiDg all this,
our young Psychologist has not thought
of inquiring now it is that, although
two retina images are produced, we
see but single object, and this despite
the fact that, like photographs of the
same body simultaneously taken from
different stand-points, these two images
are necessarily dissimilar. - Science

Queen Victoria.

Some interesting stories are told of the
early days, when the Queen was obliged
to sign death warrants, before she was
relieved from that odious duty, and a
sign manual substituted by act of Par
lament. On several occasions the Queen
may be said to have begged off the life
of offenders. And on one occasion, with
a hand trembling from eagerness and
emotion, she wrote "pardoned" across
the fatal scroll. A great degree of reti-

A Rattlesnake and a Pig.

A Putnam county farmer, while walk
ing along the edge of an oak scrub not
far from his house, heard loud squealing
from a Young pig. Hurrying to the
scene OF trouble, he found that large
rattlesnake had it by the throat. The
pig was making desperate efforts TO re-
lease itself, but the snake had its tail
twisted around bush, which held him
fast. The snake was dispatched, and

A REPUBLICAN JUBILEE.
How Ninth Ward Politicians Celebrate
Their Victory.

How Ninth Ward Politicians Celebrated
Their Victory.
Ninth ward people are still talking over a
little occurrence of Sunday last which took
place over there. An effort has been made
to keep it quiet, but it has gotten out and is
now very generally known.
1t seems that on Sunday, a well known
Republican ward worker In the Ninth, had
two or three kegs of beer conveyed to his
house, and invited the friends of the cause
around. They were not all Republicans, at
least not all Republicans of very long stand
ing. Some of those present were those who
only the day before had voted the Repub-
lican ticket for the first time, and not long
before had been Democratic candidates,
while some had been known all along as
Democrats, and who yet all along had voted
with the Republicans.
Well, it was a Republican gathering for
all that, and Councilmen and would-be
Councilmen. bosses and would-be bosses
had good time. There was general feast
of reason and flow of soul, and when the
boys got playful there was a good bit of
muscular demonstration. 1t is stated that
two or three people were badly pounded in
the overflow of playfulness, and that disor-
der, until one more able to stand the intoxi-
eating beverages than the rest carried them
of, reigned supreme.
There was another fight among Ninth
ward Republicans at Fifteenth and King
streets the other night.

The new steamer Corsica, built in Will
mington, Del, for the Chester river route,
reached Baltimore yesterday morning between
q O'Clock by the outside passage. The
steamer would have arrived Tuesday night,
but was delayed off Cape Henry by rescuing
William Stewart colored man, in a canoe,
who had been driven out of his course. He
had started from Yorktown to Norfolk, Va,
but at the mouth of York river a stiff breeze
carried away his sails and swept over
board 30 empty barrels which
his canoe was carrying as cargo,
In this plight he drifted out to sea, and
sighting the Corsica, hoisted his shirt on an
oar as a signal of distress, and was thus
happily rescued, though his canoe had to be
abandoned. Stewart claims to have been
the servant of the late Captain Herndon
Gather-in-law of President Arthur who
was lost September 12, 1857, on board his
ship, the Central America. The steamer
Corsica is calculated for IL knots an hour,

THE SUN.

The Sun for 1882 will make Its fifteenth
annual revolution under the present manage
ment, shining as always, for all, big and
little, mean and gracious, contented and
unhappy, Republican and Democratic,
depraved and virtuous, intelligent and
obtuse. The S,aa's light is for mankind and
womankind of every sort but its genial
warmth Is for the good, while 1t pours hot
discomfort on the blistering backs of the
persistently wicked.
The San of 1868 was a newspaper of new
kind. 1t discarded many of the forms and a
multitude of the superfluous words and
phrases of ancient journalism. 1t undertook
10 report in a fresh, succinct, unconventional
way all the news of the world, emitting no
event of human interest, and commenting
upon affairs with the fearlessness of absolute
Independence. The success of this expert
ment was the success of The San. Iteffected
permanent change in the style Of American
newspapers. Every important journal
established in this country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after Tie Sun
Every important journal already existing has
been modified and bettered by the force of
The SUMS example.
The San of 1882 VIII be the same outspoken,
truth-telling and interesting newspaper.
By liberal use of the means which an
abundant prosperity affords, we shall make
it better than ever before We shall print all
the news, putting it into readable shape and
measuring its Importance, not by the
traditional yardstick, but by its real interest
to the people. Distance from Printing House
square is not the first consideration with
The SHR. Whenever anything happens worth
reporting We get the particulars, whether it
happens in Brooklyn or Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions and
we are accustomed to express them I'm
language that can be understood. We say
what we think about men and events That
habit is the only secret of The SUMS political
course.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages
the best matter of the seven daily issues. An
Agricultural Department of unequelled
merit, full market reports, and a liberal
proportion ofliterary, scientific and domestic
intelligence complete the Weekly SH't, and
make it the best newspaper for the farmers
household that was ever printed.
Who does not know and read and like the
Sunday sam, each number of which is a
Golconda of interesting literature, with the
best poetry of the day, prose every line worth
reading, news, humor-matter enough to fill
good-sized book, and infinitely more varied
and entertaining than any book, big or littlel
