WORK OF ThE DEPARTMENT
The report of the commissioner of agricul,
ture presents an account of the labors of that
department during the past year. and includes
Information of much interest to the general
public. The condition OF forests in the country
and the wastefnl manner in which their destruc-
ton is taking place gives cause for serious ap-
prehension. Their action in protecting the
earths surface, il modifying the extremes
Of climate, and in regulating and sustaining the
flow of springs and streams is now
well understood, and their Importance in rela-
ton to the growth aud prosperity of the coun-
try cannot be safely disregarded. They are
fast disappearing before the destruction of
fires and the legitimate requirements of our
increasing population, and their total extinc-
hon cannot be long delayed unless better
methods than now prevail shall be adopted for
their protection and cultivation. The at:en-
ton OF congress- is invited to the necessity of
additional legislation 10 secure the preserva-
ton OF the valuable forests still remaining on the
public domain, especially the extensive West
ern States and Territories, where the necessity
for their preservation is greater than IN less
mountainous egions, and where the prevailing
dryness Of the climate reullers their restoration,
II they are once destroyed, well nigh impossible.

El.kNaN, Dec. s.

SENATE.--The internal revenue bill was
recommitted to the finance committee, but
not before Mr.. Merrill had offered an
amendment which is substantially the tariff
bill recommended by the tariff commission.
The political assessment resolution and
bankruptcy bill were discussed without final
action.
A bill was introduced in the senate by Mr..
Mcmillan, of Minnesota, to restore to certain
scouts and soldiers ofthe United States army
of the Sioux nation of Indians, the money
and annuities belonging to them confs:ated
to the United States for the relief of the per
sons for damages sustained by depredations
of certain band ofSioux. A similar bill was
introduced in the senate in 1879.
A very important amendment was made
to the pending bankrupt bill by declaring
that any broker or dealer who should sell
options for future delivery in stocks, gain
or other commodity could be thrown into
bankruptcy, unless he possessed the proper
ty at the time of the sale and was able to
deliver it. One of the senators said private
ly that they proposed to close up the stock
exchange in Wall street and the Chicago
board of trade lift was necessary in order to
stop this fraudulent corners business on all
the leading commodities fthe nation.

From the Boston Herald.
An eccentric gentleman visited q
Boston shoe store recently and
got pair ofshoes which he had ordered.
The price therefor was $15. He cheer
fully paid that sum. He then asked for
a sheet of paper, and on it stated that
he had at last got pair that suited MIN.
On the same sheet he wrote o schedule
of what he presumed would be all he
would want during his natural life" in
shoes of various styles, qualities and
patterns; slippers rubbers etc, the ag-
gregate being 256 pairs. He then gave 9
verbal order to have the specified
goods manufactured, and as an earnest
of his sincerity, gave a check for 500 as
partial payment in advance. The dealer
was we'll pleased with his customer, and
declares his intention of filling the order,
which, he admits, was good one.

this simple remedy. A friend finds il
the greatest relief in cases of rose cold, .
the cold symptoms entirely leaving the

thoroughly dried afterward, and not ex.

SENATE.-The bankruptcy bills were dis.
cussed. The principal speech was made to-
day by Judge Garland of Arkansas, who is

Senator Hale offered a substitute for
Beck's resolution on civil service reform
much more sweeping in its character. Sen
ator Edmands suggested that the two reso-
lutions Beck's and Hale') be printed and in
terlined, first line of one and then of the
other to be perfectly fair. After a few
words on motion of Senator Harrison, the
matter went over.
HoUsE.-In committee of the whole the
Indian appropriation bill was under discus
sion. The only new legislation in the bill
provides for buying the supplies in open
market whenever bids!otfered under contract
contained conditions detrimental to the in
terests of the government. The bill went
through Ewith the adoption OF a few
unimportant amendments. Representa-
tive Bayne created a furry by calling up
the bill providing for the cession by the state
of Pennsylvania of the hospital building
and grounds at Erie, Pa, for use as ma
tional hospital for INDECENT soldiers. De-
feated by large majority. The 18th of
December was fixed as the time for opening
