COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.
Mapping Out the Work for the Coming
Session of Congress.

Mapping Out the Work for the Coming
Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-Ishe House commit
tee on appropriations met to-day at the Capitol
to map out their work for the next session.
Chairman Randall and Messrs Ellis Towns
bend, Fdllett and Ryan were present, and
Messrs. Keifer, Holman and Farney were repre-
scented by others. The estimates for the six an
nua bills, namely-the postofice, the Indian,
the consular and diplomatic, the army, the navy,
and the military academy-were placed in the
hands Of subcommittee, and it is expected one
or more of these measures will be in readiness
for consideration by the whole committee when
the session begins on Monday. The subdivision
of the committee as agreed upon to-day, is as
follows;
Legislative Executive and Judicial BiIl-Sressrs
Holman Hancock and Cannon.
Sundry Civil Service-3Iessrs. Randall, Forney and
Ryan.
Army-NTessrs. Forney, Townshend and Keffer.
-Navy-N1essrs. Hutchins Randall and Long
Postofice-Messrs Townshend Holman and Horr.
Indan-Messrs. Ellis Holman and Ryan.
Consular and Diplomatic-Messrs. Burns Towns
Military Academy-aTessrs Keifer, Fo.ney and
Ellis.
District of Coirmbia-Aessrs Foett, Hutchins
and Cannon.
Defciency-Messrs. Randall, Burns and Long.
Observation-Disclosures Horr Ellis and Hancock
Mr.. Randall will have conference with the
Secretary of the Navy tomorrow on the subject
of navy appropriations for the final six months
ee the current fiscal year. 1t is thought proba-
bic that last years appropriations will be CON
tinued for that period, as was done last session
for six months from July l, and that thus the
question of making appropriations for the pro-
posed new cruisers, on which the two Houses
came to a dead lock last session, will be left for
the next Congress. Mr.. Randall, however,
wouldnot express an opinion on this subject, CT
as to any part of the policy of the committee
remarkiug simply that he did not yet know
what would be dorlo.

cept for him in advance, and say the President
elect is greatly pleased Mt Mr.. Arthur's courtesy.
There are few Republicans who are inclined to
resent Mr. Arthur's course and few Democrats
who think that Mr.. Cleveland cannot afford to
accep5 the Inequalities Of Republican Presi-
dent" Happily their number is not very large
of either side The majority of
Republicans applaud Mr. Arthur's determi-
nation, and not many Democrats will find
fault with Mr. Cleveland for accepting an invi-
tation so generously offered. The friends of
President Arthur say that he believes the prece
dent established by Hayes to be good one, and
that it should be continued irrespective of party
lines. -Four years hence remarked Mr.. Ar
thur, pleasantly, to a friend, MIR. Cleveland
may be asked to perform the same duty for
Republican successor At the dinner in Mr.
Cleveands honor there will be an imposing
gathering of political giants of both parties. The
invitations may extend, it is said, to Gen. But
Ter and Belva Lockwood, although it IS gener-
ally believed that st John will be left out in the
cold, on the ground he would not feel easy at a
dinner where anything stronger than cold water
is served The dinner will take the nature of a
lovefeast, but how long amicable relations will
endure among the political warriors after the
4th of March need not be stated. 1t will furnish
strong contrast to the ption tenderedby Presi
dent John Adams to Thomas Jefferson. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Adams rode out of Wash
ington on horseback tho night of the Sd of
March, in order not to be present to witness the
inauguration Of his successful rival

RAvAGED BY RODENTS.
A Pennsylvania Township Oyerrun by an
Army of Rats.

TowAKDA, Pa, Nov. "a number of years
ago a farmer living in Burlington township, this
county, received as a present from friend in
England, pair of peculiar rats. They were
about one-third larger than the common mouse,
and their fur was Of a dark blue color. The
farmer kept them in large cage, where large
litter of young were born. These scattered over
the premises, and in year not only the farmers
place. but the whole neighborhood, was overrun
by the rats. All attempts to exterminate them
failed, until pair Of pet Norway rats belonging
to another farmer, escaped with a large family
of young from their cage. These rats also in
creased rapidly, and commenced at once war
fare against the English pests In a short time
the latter were entirely exterminated About
year ago farmers in different parts of the town
ship noticed and then rats of enormous
size, and Of O breed never before seen in the
county, about their premises. They were nearly
as large as muskrats, and of bright gray color
They exhibited very little fear, and at times bold
ly disputed possession of barns and outbuildings
with their owners These rats are now swarm
ing the vicinity in immense numbers and have
become source of much terror and apprehen-
sion TO the inhabitants. They undermine cellar
floors and walls, and the foundations of build
ings and have destroyed many cisterns and
ruined milk houses. Many farmers had to aban-
don their cellars Granaries and barns swarm
with them day and night Farmers say that
damage to the amount OF thousands of dollars
has been done by the pests this season. A farm
erls boy entered a corn crib in which he had dis
covered number Of the rats and attacked them.
They turned upon him and Fought him so fiercely
that he was compelled to retreat after being
badly bitten about the legs and hands A farm
er's wife awakened one night by screams
issuing from a room where two of her small
children were sleeping She found that three
rats had attacked the children while they were
asleep The rats stood their ground when the
mother came to their rescue, followed by the
father, who killed two of them. The children
were both bitten on the hands and in the face
alarmed by the bold and destructive ncursions
of these rats that they intend to hold meetings
to devise some means to rid the community of
them.

The Care of Harness.

Correspondence Country GentIemNn.
1t is of little benefit to leather to oil it when
dry, but wetting it appears to open or expand
the pores and interstices, and allows the part-
Giles Of oil to take the place of the water as it
evaporates.
wish to add another matter of much benefit
in the article of harness. If harness leather is
taken in the trough, and the grain curried or
shaved off sufficiently to leave velvet surface
and that side BACKED with oil and lampblack,
avoiding the use of copperas, which has been
much employed In backing the grain side of
harness leather, it will last much longer wear
smoothly be more plisbe, and not crack. Har-
ness made of leather BACKED upon the grain,
invariably becomes cracked by use and expos
ure, and this cracking extends more or less into
the more solid parts of the leather. The grain
of leather, as all leather makers know, has
very little strength, being porous, and when
dry, very brittle The additional cost of finish.
ing harness leather in this way is very small,
and is more than repaid in its durability and
pliability. If could obtain the unrefined but
pure cod liver oil, should prefer it to any other
for oing harness Oil which is sold by the
of Fish oil, is generally whale OIL and is
inferior to cod liver oil.

have the pleasure of meeting Professor Faw-
cett twice at his own house; once at lunch it
May, 1872. and again at dinner in May, 1873, he
having during this interval removed his resi-
dence and enlarged his domicile. The impress
sion on seeing him led into the room by his fair
little wife was that of blinded Titan, so inn
posing and overpowering his aspect. His height
was colossal, he ranked in this respect with
Thackeray and Charles Sumner; and he had a
voice mightier than the two combined. 1t seems
as if all the vigor and self assertion
of the mans life had been concen-
trated, after his eyes were lost these
powerful tones. His very blindness seemed
to enhance his strength of utterance; when he
had anything to say, he simply said it, and all
else was drowned; as he saw nothing, he paid no
attention to any Interference. There was no
discourtesy, no unwiliingness to hear inter
rHptiens, but not noticing them, he talked on.
His mind was so rich, his knowledge so immense
his vitality SO ovsrpo wering, that it was simply
impossible for hiEn TO take any but the conspicu-
GUS part that was his by right. When he asked
acquisition he coaFteously needed the answer
bnt when he began in his turn, he went on.
Yet this busy and vehement giant was held in
