THE special Mississippi river committee and

means so nearly alike as their names. The
special committee has majority for show

A bald-headed gentleman, with gray side
whiskers, occupied n seat in the private
gallery yesterday afternoon during Senator
Logan's speech, next to Mrs. Logan. He took
very lively interest in what was said, bury
ing his face in his hands several times and
dropping his chin upon his breast frequently.
Word was passed around that the gentleman
was none other than Fitz-John Porter, and
he became the cynosure of many eyes. The
discovery was made later that it was a case
of mistaken Identity Every time gray
haired Or bald-headed man with mutton-chop
whislzers put in an appearance, however, dur
ing the remainder of the day he was regarded
with curiosity by the crowd. So far as is
known, Porter kept away from the senate
chamber.

Lest there are some who imagine that there
might have been some foundation for the re-
port that DR.. Bliss would not take the $4,000
awarded him for professional attendance upon
President Garfield, it might be well to state
that he drew the amount very soon after the
award was made. Hcsays that just about re-
imburses him for money actually paid out by
him during the presidents illness, leaving
him out of pocket $4,000 or $4,000 he would
have earned during those nine months.

There is to-day no man in either of the
houses of congress whose retirement after the
fourth of March next will be more universally
regretted than that of tho Hon. julius G.
Burrows, of Michigan. His absence from the
halls Of legislation can only be temporary, for
a man of such talent and ability cannot long
be spared from the national council His de-
feat for reelection is n loss to the state OF
Michigan and the nation. His congressional
service commenced with the forty-third con-
gress and was marked by success that rarely
attends a man entering public life for the first
time. During this congress he made notable
speeches upon the civil rights bill, interstate
commerce, and the security of southern cleo
tions lie was defeated in 1s1by n coalition of
the Greeley element and the democracy. He
reentered congress in 1873, and made rapid
progress toward the position he now holds.
His speech in the forty-siXth congress on tho
attempt of the democracy to cOerce the pres
ident," has been characterized as one of the
most eloquent and finished orations of tho
session. AS public man Mr.. Burrows has
been unusually successful, and none can inn
peach in any particular the record he has
made. He leaves congress, as he entered it,
with private character beyond reproach, and
a reputation unsullied by any of the tempta-
tions that surround public man. He will not
remain long out of the halls of congress.

Ben lie Fevrc, of Ohio, numbers among his
constituents a large population of German
farmers, and cabbage production Is one of
their greatest specialties Mr.. lie Fevre has
won the hearts of the Teutonic voters by the
generous and thoughtful distribution of seeds
among them paying special attention to cab
bage seeds. Not content with sending out the
seeds allotted to him by the agricultural but
reau, amounting to 1000 packages annually
he appropriates and sends out (by arrangement
of course) the supplies Of several city congress-
men who have no use for seeds, and in this
way cements the friendship of the German
grangers of his district binding them to him
by bonds of gratitude. The able Buckeye met
Tom Ochiltree, the newly-electod member
from Texas, yesterday. He remembered that
Mr.. ochiltree was from section of the coun-
try moro noted for stockraisng and battles
between cowboys and marauders from across
the border than for agriculture and this made
him very glad to see the statesman from
tho Lone Star state. He would
have been glad any way, but a
vision of possible 1000 more packages of
seeds may have infused additional enthusiasm
into the slap upon the back which accompa-
MED his exuberant greeting of Ochiltree.
Tom, am really glad to see you," he ox-
claimed, beaming all over; 81 congratulate
you heartily on your success Isn't there
something can do for your You won't take
your seat, of course until next March, but
don't you want to do something before then
Don't you want to send some seeds to your con-
stituents for instance I --O "No I guess
not" responded the buxom member.elect
from the wind.swept district on the Rio
Grande; "but if you have any influence with
the ordnance department you might get me a
few thousand boxes of cartridges. My con-
stituents would know what to do with seeds
of that sort. They wouldn't have to be taught
what use TO make of them" Mr.. lie Fevre
waited to hear no more. He suddenly saw a
friend across the street to whom he had some
thing of vital Importance to communicate.

The Relieving Troubles.

BELLEvHLE, Ill, May 3l.-Brig. Gen. J.
N. Reece, Col. j. H. Barley, and Lieut. Col.
Mills have made an affidavit which has been
forwarded to this place to the coroner hold
ing an inquest on the rioter killed by the
militia. They say the first shot fired in the
Reinecke mine, at Dutch Hollow, near Belle
vile, the evening of May 20, was fired by one
of the mob into the window at
the troops before the train stopped.
The second shot was fired at
Deputy Sheriff Anthony By one of the mob
Just after he had alighted from the car in
front of the mob, and while he was calling
upon the rioters to surrender to the authori-
ties Several pistol-shOts were fired in quicl;
succession by the rioters, when the fire was
returned by the troops under orders of the
deputy-sheriff.
The troops have all been withdrawn from
the disturbed district as it is believed the
civil authorities are competent to preserve
the peace hereafter.

THE MARKETS.

CHICAGO, May 3l.--Rodiger & Co.'S mar,
ket letter of this evening says: Wheat
opened this morning at decline of &c from
Tuesdya's closing prices, improved about s4c
and then declined a cent, the dealings
throughout the day having been with
out any special features. Transactions
on the call this afternoon showed
a shade of firmness. As stated in previous
letters we think the leading bulls have real
lied freely and so far We see no evidence that
they have bought back what they sold. New
ertheless the market shows great resistance
and after the June deliveries have been dis
posed of we expect the market will assume
more decided tendency again.
Corn opening at Tuesdays closing prices
improved and has been stronger, ano
more animated than we have seen it fol
some DAYS. Receipts were again compar-
atively large being over 700 cars, but ex
erted no depressing influence, it being gen
orally understood that they will fall off aftel
| the beginning of the month.
Oats assumed better tone and were strong
| this morning on lighter receipts, but weakened
| on the call under liberal offerings. Provisions
! showed no special feature. They tirmed VI
| this forenoon in spite of large receipts of hogs
but lost more than the advance this after
| noon.

The Iron workers.

CHICAGO, May 31.--At the hour Of 70 to
night the 800 men employed at the Calumet
iron mills will quit work and disperse to their
homes, and will settle down to idleness and
consequent hardship for a period of two to
three months, because the Amalgamated As
sOciation of lron-W orkeIs, of which they con
stitute a part, have demanded wages from
the manufacturers which they say they are
unable to pay at the present time, and the
union has therefore ordered all its members
out Mr. David c. Bradley, secretary and
manager of the Calumet works, said it was
impossible to pay the wages demanded with,
out losing money.

of the iron manufacturers and the Amalga
mated Association committee has been called
for this afternoon, when it is believed a set
tlement will be effected and a strike aveIted

Cheap Telegraphy Abroad.
Demorests Monthly

DeTnOfbSls mOulhl5.
In Great Britain a telegram of twenty words,
with the address, can be sent to any part Of
the kingdom for one shilling, about twenty five
cents of our money. On the Continent where
the governments have control of the telegraph,
the rates are much cheaper. In Belgium and
Switzerland, for instance, there are half franc
telegrams-that is, something less than ten
cents of our money--while in Paris the tele-
graph system is supplemented by pneumatic
tubes carrying postcards for half a franc.
The English government paid Gl0,OOO,0OO
for what was worth commercially not much
more than 81, 000,000, yet so great has
been the increase of business due to govern
ment control that the shilling rate is soon to be
reduced The address will, as heretofore, be
free, IL cents will be charged for six
words. Is cents for twelve words, and
25 cents, as now, for twenty words.
Telegraphing in this country Is under corpor-
sto control, and we are charged more than any
uthar country on earth.
