WASHINGTON. D. e., Dec. "a. 1884
Both houses of Congress met to- day, but
the session in each was short, not lasting
longer than half an hour. Az soon as the
journal of the House was read Mr.. Moul-
ton asked for leave to withdraw certain
papers, but the chair said the understand
ing was that objection would be made to
transacting any business other than that
relating to adjournment. Mr.. Randall then
moved to concur in the Seuates amend
ment to the House resolution for the Christ
mas recess, making the recess commence on
the Path instead of the Goth, aud on that
motion called the previous question. Mr..
Beach, republican, of New York, one of the
counsel in the famous Tlton-B eecher suit,
objected and said 'let ns debate that point"
The vote being taken, first by the sound,
then by rising and then by tellers made
patent, what everybody knew before, that
no quorum was present, which point was
made by Mr.. Beach. But Mr.. Randall,
withdrawing his call, Mr.. Beach withdrew
his point, aud the amendment was con-
Cured In, and the House adjourned until
tho 9Th proximo. The Senate soon after
meeting went into executive session, i'm
until the same date. Previous to adjourn.

the wound he received in the war. He

place, near Montross. and barring his breast

Mr.. DUNCAN, one of the lessees of the

A STRANGE TRADITION.-Among the
Seminole Indians there is singular tradi-
ton regarding the white mans origin and
superiority. They say when the Great
Spirit made the earth he also made three
men, all of whom were fair-complexioned,
and that after making them he led them to
the margin of small lake, and babe them
leap in and wash. One obeyed, and came
out purer and fairer than before the second
hesitated moment, during which time the
water, agitated by the first, had become
muddied, and when he bathed he came up
copper colored; the third did not leap until
the water became black with mud, and he
came out with his own color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three pack
ages, and out of pity for his misfor-
tune in color, gave the black man the
first choice. He took hold Of each of
the packages, and having felt the weight
chose the heaviest the copper.colored man
chose the next heaviest, leaving the white
man the lightest. When the packages We're
opened the first was found to contain spades,
hoes and all the implements Of labor; the
second unwrapped hunting, fishing and
warlike apparatus; the third gave the
white man pens, inks, and paper, the en-
SlDc OF Inc mluu-LUe uuehu3 vi mulual,
mental Improvement, the social link of bu
manly, the foundation of the white mans
superiority.
PERILoUs POsITION.-The schooner Har-
riet Howarth, of Tappahannock, Captain
Thomas Croswell, went ashore below
Smiths Point, in the snowstorm of the 18th
She left Point Lookout on the morning of
the 18th, on her way to Baltimore, with a
load of oysters. When off Cedar Point she
was obliged to scud down the bay. In
crossing Smiths Point, there being heavy
sea running, she lost both compass and
lead, and was then at the mercy of the sea
aud wind, and night was coming on.
About o'clock she struck on the shore
just below the light and lay there all night,
the crew expecting every moment to be
washed from her decks. Morning found
them hard ashore, and the wind on the de-
crease, and with the aid of a schooner they
were gotten off without much damage, ex.
cept the loss of some of the cargo. The
captain reports that it was the heaviest sea
that he ever experienced. He was washed
from the wheel overheard al one time, but
managed to get On board again. !
