According 10 the report of the proceedings of the
Public Health Association recently held In Detroit
"COonel George E. Waring, of Newport. gave it as
his opinion that the filling up of the marshes at
Washington viii not decrease malaria there but
VIII tend To increase it," Colonel Waring is doubt
less on excellent engineer, within certain limlta-
tons, but, unfortunately for his reputation as a
sanitary expert, the facts In this case cannot be
twisted to conform to his theory. The experience
and observation OF best physical enforce the
conclusion that there is less malaria In Washington
nov than formerly and that, In spite of the dis
furbance to the soil caused by the filling in of the
flats. the cases coming under their treatment and
notice were neither numerous nor so serious this
year as during former seasons Outside OF the
medical faculty here, perhaps no physician or
person In the nited States gave so much and such
Intelligent attention TO the sanitary condition and
possibilities of Washington as did Dr. j. Marion
SINS, or New York, lately deceased, and he was
nrin In the belief that no city in the United States
II In the world. surpassed IL as a pleasant and
healthy place OF residence. SO thoroughly was he
satisfied on this point that he had only few weeks
ago bought land here, upon which he Intended at
once to erect a house for his future home. when
unfortunately death closed his useful and brilliant
Career. a fact like this is worth a cart load OF
Colonel Warnings theories.

One OF the surprising things OF the present age

which the owners Of telegraph lines in this country
insist that underground wires cannot be made to

islature of Nevada, asking ali appropriation
of $3.50, 600 for sinking artesian wells in that
state.
MARCH 1.-The house spent the day on
the river and harbOr bill, i'm committee of
the whole. At the evening session Mr.. Van
VOorhis, of New York, said nobody but q
gambler and q cut-throat would think of
lacking to the bill an item for the improve
ment of the Sacramento river. This was q
thrust at Mr.. Page, of California, whom he
had called mule-driver the previous even
request Of Mr.. Horr, and Mr.. McIIane Of
fered resolution of expulsion. After sew
eral members had spoken, Mr.. Van VOorhis
disclaimed all intention OF being personal
to anybody, withdrew the offensive words,
and apologized to, the house. Mr.. Herbert
insisted on expulsion, on which the vote
stood 66 to 10. The river and harbor bill
was passed
MARCH I'm the house, the bill to per-
init the consolidation of the Southern Pa
cific and other roads was defeated, 1t was
resolved to agree to the senate amendments

ing the item of $lS5, 000 for fast mails and
sation of subsidized railroads. A bill was

the seat from South Carolina occupied by
Richardson, by 124 to ia. The house re-
manned in session all through Saturday
night and Sunday morning, great deal Of
the time being given mp to horse-play, it
having been demonstrated that nothing
could be effected with the bonded whisky
bill or the contested election case, and the
friends of those measures being determined
that no other work except that which was
absolutely necessary should be done. The
last act of the house was the passage eff q
resolution expressive of sorrow at the death
of Governor Stephens, of Georgia. Speaker

MARCH 1.-The senate spent most of the
day on the sundry civil bill. Two items
provoked debate. One was proposition

officials, and, having at last succeeded In
that, have for eight years had their claim
In congress-. The senate again struck out
the appropriation. The custom Is to reject
claim for thirty or forty years because IT
has not been sufficiently investigated, and
thereafter to reject 1t because 1t Is stale. In
the Yellowstone park matter the senate
showed a disposition to give the park pro-
lection, and narrowly circumscribed the
privileges to be granted to any hotel peo-
pie.
MARCH 2-The senate passed bill au
thorizing the ChillicOthe and Kansas City
railway to bridge the Missouri river. A res
Olution was adopted for q select commit
tee to examine into the condition of the
Sioux Indians on their reservations. Mr..
Van Wyck, referring to vouchers for the
expense OF the Star-rOute trials, bore down
very heavily upon Attorney General Brew
ster, and was warned to stop by Mr.. Came
ron. Sometime after midnight the senate

A WOMAN'S AFFAIR.

Mrs. N. H. SMALL, the wife OF the popular
deputy sheriff and assessor of Topsham, Maine,
writes us on May TO- 1883: "That she had been
severely afflicted during several years with kid
ney and liver disease accompanied with severe
pains and backache. Having tried many So
called cures and medicines, and doctors pre-
scriptions, without receiving any benefit, and
while seeking for cure, she noticed the adver-
tisement of Hunts Remedy and decided to try
1t. Having bought bottle at Mr.. Johnson q
drugstore, commenced using it with such fiat
tering results that she continued its use, and
after using only five bottles the improvement
in her health is so marked that she wishes all
who are afflicted in like manner to know OF
this most valuable and reliable medicine; and
she most cheerfully recommends Hunts Rene

bled with the complaints peculiar to the SEX"

Their power is doubled too when they

The economy of grace requires all that is

Even they must learn how to behave. No

publicly presentable. But students gen.

should not object to their taking Christ

of politeness. There are manners of
housekeeping, schoolkeeping, not to speak
of eating, drinking, dressing, talking,

making calls and visits, or of asking and

Good Manners-.-A Gentle Hint.

These are "the happy ways of doing
things" the fine arts which should 90
heart and hand with the useful not mere
etiquette. ceremony, style, fashion, but
the signs of a well-bred, well-trained lady
or gentleman. They spring naturally
from the "golden rule" or from a due re-
gard to the rights and feelings of others.
They vary, indeed, with time, place and
person, but like the "almanacs" can be
Calculated for all meridisns." They are
not simply charm, but power in the
world, nor in courtly circles only, but in
all life's affairs and offices. They belong
to Christian culture, and should belong to
Christian society. Good morals and good
doctrines are hardly more important than
good manners. 1t fares i'll with the very
elect, If they neglect their manners. None
need 80 much to be gentlemanly as the
ministers of Jesus Christ. Good manners
are not easily described. Like delicate
perfumes, they escape and defy analysis.
To some extent they are the gift of ma
ture. But with goodness of heart, or q
genuine Christian love, we may cultivate
them with peculiar advantage; and every
body feels their fascination, every friend,
