THE bill to establish bureau of la- bor was passed by the Senate. It now only awaits the signature of the Presi- dent to become law. This bill at this time neither party could afford to antag- onize, hence its easy passage m both House and Senate. It may work, and 1t may not; it is an experiment. Our opinion is that the very men who urged its passage, the workingmen, will be the first to kick. Below is the bill as passed:
 There shall be established in the De partment of the Interior a Bureau of Labor, which shall be under the charge of n Commissioner of Labor, who shall be appointed by the President, and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Commissioner of Labor shall hold his office for four years, and until hls successor shall be appointed and quail fled. unless sooner removed, and shall receive n salary of S3,000 year. The commissioner shall collect information upon the subject of labor in its relation to capital, the hours of labor and earn ings of the laborIng man and woman, together with the means for promoting their material, social, intellectual and moral prosperity. The Secretary of the Interior shall appoint chief clerk, who shall receive salary of 5000 per sn- mum, and such other employees as may be necessary for said bureau, provided that the total expenses shall not exceed S25, 900 per annum. During the neces- sary absence of the commissioner, or when the office shall become vacant, the chief clerk shall perform the duties oi the commissioner. The cOmmlssioner shall annually make q report Tn writing to the Secretary of the Interior of the information collected and collated by him, containing such recommendations as he may deem best calculated to pro- mote the efficiency of the bureau.

AMONG THE DAISIES.

Tired so early,-when the dGwniug uhmuered white-winged through the room. And the skies were half-awskinE Half m fading starlit gloom. From the heaven of the estarlisht Came the angels of the dawn; And the morning wtnCs were signing, And the curtains eastward drawn, And her sleeping face looked brighter, And a whispering sob said-' GOne. All the daisies were unfolding In the nelts, where never more Shall the rapture of her child-life Run m shout and laughter OCT Ilred SO eariy she has gathered All her elao ness m swift space. She has sung her song and ended Ohlld-nke turning plerding face Back to home when joys are weary Toward the one familiar place. Lay her low among the daisies: Angels knew her moro than we. They have led her home from wandering. Tired with earthly revelry. And above her dalsied pillow Let her simple tale be told; Here the Lover Of the lilies Bade li't.e blossom fold: He that wakes the flowers shall wake her White as snow, with heart Of gold.

TIE action of Mir. Horr in the House yesterday was commendsble. He charged Wm II. English, the gentle man who once ran upon the Democratic ticket for Vice President, with lobbying oa the floor of the House in the interest O' his son, whose seat was contested by one Peel. The Democrats of course defended English. There is not a shadow of doubt but that English used all hi- influence to seat his son. He has been untiring in his efforts, and there Is no doubt in his zeal he exceeded the privileges of the House. Under the circumstances young English can mt expect to receive that honor usually accorded d Representative of the United States.

The Public Domain.

. A dispatch of the l6th from Wash iugtou says a report has been submitted, to accompany the bIll reported from the House Committee on Public Lands, pro viding for the repeal of the Pre-emption and Timber-Culture Acts and for amend ments to the HOmestedd law. The com mittee says:
 We believe it should be the policy of the government to give those of our citizens who are without homes such an amount of the public domain as will make them comfortable hOmesteads, where they enter it with good faith. in- tending to make 1t their homes, cultivate and live on the same for n fixed period of time. and we believe that l6O acres should be the maxlmum under the Pre- emption, Homestead and Timbcr-Culture laws. As they now stand, one person may become the owner of 4SO acres oi the public domain-lGO acres under each. This is too large an amount oi land, in our opinion, for any person to acquire in this manner. We think the policy of the Government should be to furnish as many of its citizens with com fortable homes as long in the future as possible, and leo acres IS sufficient for this purpose. By giving thls amount Y will not be many years tIll our public domain will be taken up. The Pre- emption was passed in 1861. the Home stead law in 1866. and the Timber-Cul. ture law in 1873. When the Homestead Act was passed the Pre-emption law should have been repealed. The Timber Culture law should never have beer passed. We have therefore, m the sub stitute, provided for the repeal Of the Pre-emption and Timber-Culture Act' and amendments to the Homestead law

boiling in the hearts of the rioters, and they
soon returned raging to the attack; but IN
the meantime the conduct of the sheriff had
inspired others with some of his spirit and
raised him up supporters. The judge of the
county, the clerk, and few others took
their places with him at the Jail door, and
when the mob returned the battle was re-
sumed on more even terms, and the defense
was maintained till the rioters were beaten OH
Cotton received two wounds, several OF the
mob were killed and more wounded, and the
law was indicated and took its course with
the prisoner. The affair created great STIR
all through the mines, and the young sheriff
was the hero of the day Governor Bigler,
in recognition of his services for law and
order, appointed him brigadier general of
militia of Northern California.

WHAT THE DIVER SEES.

The first sensation in descending under wa
ter in suit of armor is the sudden, bursting
roar in the ears, caused by the air driven into
the helmet from the air-pump. The flexible
air-hose has to be strong enough to bear a
pressure of twenty-fv to fifty pounds to the
square inch The drum of the ear yields to
the strong external PRESSURE the mouth opens
involuntarily, the air rushes into the tube and
strikes the drum, which strikes back to its
normal state with sharp, pistol-like crack.
Peering through the google eyes of glass in
his helmet, the diver sees the strange beauties
about him clearly and in their own calm
splendor. Above him is a pure golden can
opy, while around him and beside him are
tints and shimmering hues, including all col
ors, which are indescribably elegant. The
floor of the sea rises like golden carpet,
inclining gently to the surface. The change
in familiar objects is wonderful. The wreck
of ship seems studded with emeralds gilt
tering in lines of gold; piles of brick assume
the appearance of crystals a ladder becomes
silver, every shadow gives the impression of
a bottomless depth.

A gang of New York ruffians who make a
practice of going to Jersey City on Sundays
when the weather is fine, for the purpose of
playing ball, has been the cause of great an
noyance Last Sunday number of them
got drunk, and took possession of the street
cars running to the ferry. They fought
among themselves, refused to pay their fare,
and shouted and used bad language Another
party, which went to New York by the Cen
trail railroad ferry, got into fight and broke
several windows in the boat, besides terror
izing all the other passengers. Preparations
were made by Chief of Police Murphy to re-
ceive the roughs on Easter Sunday, and q
large force of policemen in citizens dress
went to the ball grounds, which are near the
Central railroad at the foot of Jersey avenue.
Unobserved the police formed circle around
the crowd, and at signal closed on the play
ers and spectators. Chief Murphy had given
instructions to capture all the men, if posi-
BILE, and the result was the arrest of thirty two
prisoners.

much sleep, and if they do not have it, suffer
in consequence. I do not think, says an au-
thority, person should be wakened in the
morning, and for this reason-when man falls
asleep, he is 9 in the shop for repairs, as me-
chanics say. His frame and all its intricate
machinery is being overhauled and made
ready for the next days work; the wear of
the previous day is being repaired. Nature is
doing that herself. She knows what the tired
frame needs just as she knows how to make
the heart throb and send the blood coursing
through the veins. Then she takes the tired
frame, lays it down on bed, surrounds
it with the refreshing air of night, covers
it with the soft darkness, and lets the man
rest.

LOTOS LAND.

oh, land beloved Oh, land unknown,
By what blue Rhine or rapid Rhone,
Or any river man hath known,
Shall arrive at thee?
Or by what mighty trackless seas,
Where the unweared northern breeze
From dumb and frozen cavern fees ~
Triumphant to be free?
Or by what desert, red and vast,
Breaking the fervid tropic blast,
Shall my too lingering steps at last
Attain to thy sweet shore?
o, plains serene 0, rivers rolled
Like babbling streams DER sands OF gold,
Fair birds that do your pinions fold,
And singing, cease to soar!
= Skies, where such slumbrous mists are shed
E, The heart forgets it ever bled,
And sleep lies on the lonely head,
Forgetting and forgot.
There nothing has been or shall be,
But all things are eternally,
The tired soul may not think or see.
Such quiet rules the spot.
For there is neither hope nor fear
No hated thing, nor nothing dear,
Nor any troubled atmosphere,
Nor anything but rest.
Such utter sleep, such thoughtlessness
As might "a mortal life redress,
And set aside its deadly stress,
From even woman's breast.
O land, dear land! sweet-visioned shore
That no mans footsteps may explore,
q Nor any but fool deplore,
Yet would I sleep in thee
The jester tires of cap and bells,
The disenchanted laughs at spells,
The past all future lives foretells,
Dear land, come true to me

which was formerly the property of the Colqu-

wall ended at this point. The marble shaft
which we see standing near its crumbling
battlements is monument erected to Henry
Bell, who ran the first steamer on the Clyde
or, indeed anywhere in Europe, except a
small one on Dalswinton loch. Bells steam

Greenock and Helensburgh. The following
was the owners advertisement "Comet
steamship will sail three times week (weath-
er permitting to Helensburgh. Passage
money four shillings." The same distance
can now be travelled three times day for six
pence. Dunbarton rock and castle now come
in view. The castle is built on a rocky,
cone-shaped hill, about mile in circumfer-
ence and about two hundred and fifty feet
high. The ground around its base is very
little above the high water mark. 1t was
here that Wallace was confined after he was
betrayed by Monteith. In the neighborhood
of Dunbarton stands the village of Renton,
the birthplace of Smollet, who SO we'll de-

Those Little Birds.


Mr.. Talmage. In his sermon recently,
illustrated some of his remarks with the
following picturesque anecdote 81
have been told that the Cathedral of st.
Mark s. stands in a square in the centre
OF the City of Venice, and that when
the clock strikes II at noon, all the
birds from the city and the regions
around about the city fly to the square
and settle down. 1t came about in this
wise: A large-hearted woman, passing
one MONDAY across the square, saw
some birds shivering in the cold, and
she scattered some crumbs of bread
among them. and 20 on from year to
year, until the day Of her death. In
her will she b~equeathed a certain
amount Of money TO keep up the same
practice; and now, at the first stroke of
the bell at noon, the birds begin to
come there, and when the clock has Just
struck II the square is covered with
hem
