HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, February 1fth.-When the
House met this morning in continuation OF
Fridays session, Willis moved that the
House go into Committee of the Whole on
the river and harbor bill, and pending that,
moved that all debate be limited to one
hour and a half.
A session was ordered for tonight for the
consideration of the legislative appropria-
ton bill.
The regular order having been demand
ed, the Speaker announced the regular or
der to be consideration of the pension bills
coming over from last nights session.
Willis said it was clearly the intention OF
the House yesterday to devote this morn
ing's session to the consideration of the
river and harbor bill, and asked unanimous
consent that the regular order be dispensed
with, but Reed objected.
The first bill coming over was one grant
ing pension of $1,000 per annum TO the
widow of General George II. Thomas, and,
after debate, it was passed-aycs 143,
noes 81.
After considerable discussion the quas-
ton REQUIRED on the motion to limit the
debate on the pending section of the river
and harbor bill to one and a half hours, and
it was agreed 10, and then the House went
into Committee of the Whole on the bill
indicated.
1t was finally decided to devote one and
a half hours to debate on the river and har-
Dor bill, when the discussion arose as 10
how that time should be distributed, and a
long-contipued scene of confusion resulted.
After discussion and without action the
Committee Of the Whole rose and the
House took up the postoffice appropriation
bill under the operation Of the previous
question.
Amendments increasing from 100000
to 81, SO, 900 the appropriation for the letter
carrier service, increasing by $4,000 the
appropriation for star route service, and
striking out the clause granting additional
compensation to American steamships for
carrying the mails. were agreed 10 and the
bill passed.
The House then went into Committee OF
the Whole on the legislative appropriation
bill.
White Of Kentucky moved to strike out
the paragraph for the expenses of the Office
of Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and
criticised the recent action of the Secretary
of the Treasury i'll extending the bonded
period in violation Of Law. and in the face
of the refusal of Congress 10 legaIize such
extension. Without disposing of the mo-
ton the committee rose and recess was
taken until Monday.

Bill APPS Views on Education
Atlanta Constitution.

There's more in the boy than there
is IL the college. In these days of
cheap books any boy or girl can get an
education if they want it, but my OBJ
servatlon is that not more than one in
ten want an unusual quantity. IF tie
family takes a good newspaper and
has bible and few books in the
house and the children do an honest
days work they'll get along about as
well as the college boys in the long
run and do as much good in the world.
Congress has got more smart men
than any place, reckon, but if I was
hunting for honest men I would cruise
round outside a while before went
IN, and if I was hunting patriots who
thought it was sweet to die for their
country I wouldn't go IN at all. The
best people I know Of and the most re-
liable In tine OF trouble, are living an
humble life and making no noise in
the world, and they are not surfeited
with education either

Detrimental TO Beauty.
Post Dispath.

Grief, as we'll as all agitation of the
mind, is detrimental TO beauty. Too
much excitement of the tear ducts
dims the eyes, and traces of the work

face. Those people who are happily
gifted with ar equabIe temperament
grow old uchless quickly than those
whose dispositions are the reverse.

The Hungry Ducklings.
Hartford Times.

A Hartford gentleman and his wife
went down to WethersGeld on the
open horse. car the other day, and
stopped over g few trips to enjoy some
fishing inthe cove. The gentleman
went into private yard near by to
get some bait The gentleman's wife
occupied her time IN watching 3 flock
of young ducks which had been
brought up by q hen. The first shov-
elful thrown up revealed several ang-
leworns, and as the city gentleman
stopped to gather them in those little
ducklings sailed In also. AS there
was not worms enough TO go round,
the fisherman had TO be content with
a fragment of one, which he had de-
prived dUckling Of by snatching one
ers down the little ducks throat, drag
ging 1t about ten rods before he could
gain possession Of it. It was rare
sport for the lady, who laughed heart
lily to see her husband struggling
with the little tornaenters- The next
shovelful produced like results, and
it occurred to our city friend that he
would feed the ducklin2s first ard
then dig his bait. So at 1t be went.
The duckIings responded to his efforts
most nobly, and at the end of half
an hour they showed no signs of fati-
que, while the city chaps starched
suit looked as though it had taken q
bath, and the would~he fisherman
was laid out on a plank trying to re-
cuperate. While the boy he had hir-
ed to dig his bait was at work, he
told his wifene should never again
try 10 satisfy gluttonous little ducks.
