Congressional Work and Adjournment
WASHINGTON, May 24.-!The hopes Of
Representatives who expect to adjourn Con-
grsss between the 10Th Of June and LIST Of
July are based upon the expectation that the
appropriation bills will all be passed before
the Goth Of next month. Randall says that
the legislative, sundry civil, general def.
cheney and river and hartor bills will be
passed by the House within the next three
weeks. There will certainly be bitter
6ght between the two Houses before the ap-
preparation bills are passed, aud the session
will b. either greatly protrsctsd or Congress
will adjourn without voting the necessary
funds for the next fiscal year. The sevsrest
contest between the Senate and the House
will be upon the consular and diplomatic,
naval, and Legislative bills. In the latter the
House has dictated to the Senate how Its
contingent fund shall be expended, an intru-
sion which the Senate will resent. The Re-
publicans are proceeding upon the assump-
ton that the Democrats will hardly care to
assume the responsibility Of adjourning
Congress without passing oil the appropria-
tions, and that therefore the result will be
they will be victorious In all the importan
contests. The policy Of early adjournment
does not meet the approval Of the Western
and Southern Representatives,. They came
here pledgad 10 revoke the unsarned land
grants, to lsgislate against monopolles, and
DO all sorts Of business that the futile At
tempt to revise the tariff has prevented. A
quiet but innusntial lobby has been at work
here all winter 10 prevent the passage Of any
Of the land grant forfeiture bills, and Is the
time for adjournment approaches these men
are publicly Boosting Of their victory. They
say IL does not matter now what the House
Will do, ~ adjournment Is assured before the
Senate can act favorably upon any Of the
HOUSE bills. These boasts, however, may
prove illtimsd. There are Republicans Is
well = Democratic Senators who say that
for the sake Of saving few weeks in the adj
journnsnt, Congress should not neglect to
act upon the bills for the restoration of lands
TO the public domain. Il ID seldom, how
ever, after the hot Washington summers b.
gin, that Congress can be kept long in sss-
sion, aud the fact that the majority would be
glad to get away before the Democratic Ma
tional Convention 10 held, and that the Con-
grsssional campaigns In many Of the districts
win open earlier than usual this year, leads
70 the Impression that Congress will adjourn
not later than the 18th Of July.

The General Takes II Hard.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Ths World says:
A gentleman who saw General Grant q few
days ago, said yesterday: "Hs Is almost CON-
pletsly broken down by the disclosures
which havs become public since his failure.
The shock will shorten his life many years.
He convsrses freely with his intimate friends
upon his trouble. He seeks seclusion as
much as possible, and fears he has lost the
respect and confidence of the country at
large. The General 10 so sensitive he shuns
the Newspapers; therefore ne has still to
learn the magnitude of the collapse, and the
almost unparalleled extent Of Ward'A fraud
ulsnt operations"
The Herald says 1t Is announced upon au-
thority that General Grant refused to re-
ceive back the property turned over to Van
dsrbilt in payment Of the $4,000 loan. So
much sentiment Is connected with the per-
sonal misfortune Of the General, and his at
titude toward his creditors, that the Wander
bilt incident Is becoming . matter of great
interest. It Is known that General Grant
has been very much borne down by the
whole affair, but he insists upon paying his
debt TO Vanderbilt. His sons have person
ally assumed all the debts which they con-
debt contracted by the General. His wife Is
IS DESTROYS Is her husband that the obliga-
ton should be discharged, although 1t ruins
both of them, aud leaves them the income Of
the bonds purchased by friends As their only
property. He Is transferring all bis property
by mortgages to Vanderbilt. Besides his
Philadelphia property, he has mortgaged two
brick buildings in Washington, one on o
street and the ether on Vermont avenue,
worth together about $4,000. He will not
rest satisfied until the obligation Is secured,
beyond oil doubt or question, TO the utmost
farthing.
A distinguished friend Of the Generals
said yesterday: 81 am satisfied from what
know that when all the fictitious claims
against Grant il Ward have been eliminated,
and all the real assets, which undoubtedly
belong TO the firm, are received, there will
be enough money to pay every proper crsdi-

one could tell how things stood. am sure
that when oil the absurdities Of the heavy
claims against the firm are sifted, the assets
will balance the liabilities. You may rely
upon what say"
The General receives offers Of assistance
and letters Of sympathy from all parts Of the
country. -

whatever about the workings Of The firm Of

REMARKABLE PICTURE.
That OF a Tiger in the Act OF Kill.
ing Buffalo.

From the London Telegraph.
A tiger photographed In the very act
Of killing buffalo is probably an occur
renee unparalleled in the annals Of the
camera. Yet that such photograph
has actually been taken is vouched for
in the Indian press. The artist, 1t ap-
pears, had focused on the buffalo, which
was tied for the occasion to tree-stump
in the middle Of field, and had just put
n dry plate into the camera, when the
tiger brought up to the spot for the pur-
pose went at 1t and struck down the
great horned beast with single blow
Of his right paw. "My instrument
says the photographer, twas about
seven yards from the buffalo, and the
tiger might just as well have come at me
II he had chosen to do so, but he pre-
ferred the beef, and taking advantage of
the moment he had sprung upon his
victim, 1 released the spring shutter
just as he had given the buffalo his
knock-down blow.

Its huge prey. The buffalo, though
fatally struck, had not even had time to
fall before the "sun picture" Of Its dying
moments was fixed upon the faithful
plate, and so there 1t stands with IT'S
knees just giving away under 1t, and its
great head dropping in death. A quar-
ter Of second later, and II was lying ON
the ground lifeless, but on the photo

actual attitude of dying, and at the in
slant when 1t is drawing Its last breath.
After staying the buffalo the tiger
stretched Its head round over the neck,
and slipping its mouth down to the but
falo's throat, lay across 1t, sucking its
life-blood. This fact Is an extraordinary
one, for 1t has long been decided, upon
what were considered indisputable OBJ
servations, that the tiger never by any
chance commenced its meal at the
throat. Sometimes, II there were a
fight, 1t would wound its adversary in
that spot; but as rule 1t trusts to Its
blow to break its victims neck, and
