OF the 9G6 bills which became laws 10 the
last Congress 6S2--nearly two-thirds-were
Of private character, Of which 58S were
pension bills. Urgent recommendations
have been made by Presidents Grant, Hayes,
and Arthur in their annual messages to
Congress for legislation that would relieve
both Congress and the departments from
the burden Of large class OF private claims,
but, beyond the passage Of the "Bowman
bill''-which affords but slight relef--noth-
ing has been done. The obstacles In the
way Of independent legislation In the House
have largely contributed to this result, the
"Bowman bill'' only securing consideration
by being made Especial order" under sus-
pension Of the rules. In fact, with the Oxcep-
ton of what is known as the ''Thurman fund
ing BILL" in the forty-nfth Congress, and the
'Edmunds bigamy 6illn in the forty-seventh,
no public measure Of any considerable i'm
portance has been reached for consideration
in the House in what is called the Irregular
order of business since the adoption of
the "Holman amendment authorizing
legislation on appropriation bills, and those
bills which were on the speakers table were
only saved from burial In the committee of
the whole House on the state of the Union
by the rulings Of Speakers Randall and
Keifer
The present code OF House rules has been
harshly but unjustly criticised The re-
vision made by the committee on rules was
in the main, thorough and complete. The
rules were greatly reduced In number, sim
pllfied,and made intelligible,and their work
was not improved in any important respect
by the committee of the whole House ON the
state Of the Union. The defects are few,
but important, and can be easily remedied.
The prohibition of legislation on general
appropriation bills, with the restoration OF
the old rule requiring tho committee to re-
port all its bills within specified time, or
a clause making motion In order in
structing the committee TO report any par
ticular bill on or before certain date,
would be one effective remedy. Another

Some weeks ago, two eagles killed a
goose on the farm of Warren Wheeler
in the Adirondacks, but for some reason
did not carry the carcass away. Using
the goose for bait, and procuring seven
steel traps, the farmer awaited the
birds return. One was at once caught
in the trap. To the surprise of the
watchers, the other eagle immediately
set about unriveting the steel jaws
with its beak, emitting all the while a
shrill, humping sound, as of black
smith at his forge. Soon the steel trap
was loosened, when the men, rushing
on the noble bird which had released
it's comrade, dubbed it to death. On
its neck was a leather medal, showing
that it had once been captive for seven
years in a cage in the blacksmith shop
of John Bugg, where it had evidently
picked up its acquaintance with chilled
steel.-NeW Haren Palladium.

Sunshine
on
the Soil.

After a long and dreary winter the light and
heat of the sun are pleasant and cheering. They
coax back the birds and bring out the flowers.
They also introduce the malarial season, for
malaria is 4 poisonous emanation which arises
from the soil under the influence of the heat of
the sun, and in no other way. In can neither
be seen by the eye nor detected by the sense of
smell. While it chiefly turks in low and marshy
places, it is not confined to them, but may exist
unsuspected in higher spots and in cities and
towns
There is no source of disease so common and
difficult to avoid. All intermittent and remit
tent fevers, and what is familiarly called Fever
and Ague, are caused by it. What suffering
the victims of these complaints undergo cannot
be told. Malaria not only produces certain dis
eases, but it increases and aggravates all 9TH
erS.
We call your attention to Dreshler's Fever
and Ague Pills specific and cure for all
forms of malarial troubles. This remedy has
record of thirty years of great and signal sue
cess 1t breaks up the feverish action and eX-
pels the poison from the system.
Used as directed Dreshlers Pills accomplish
what no other medicine does. We have abund-
ant proof of this from people of the highest
character. If You fear you have malaria do
not let it faSten upon you.
Upon application we would be glad to mail
you our new treatise on malaria-''Sunshine on
