NO Prospect That the Succession Bill
VIII be Disposed of Before the Recess.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Since the pres
ent session of Congress- began TBS bills
and joint resolutions have been intro
duced in the Senate, and seven, one of
which originated IN the House, have been
passed by that body. One thousand two
hundred aud torty-seven executive mes
sages, containing about 1000 nomina-
tlOns, nave been sent by the President 10
the senate and been referred to the proper
committees, but no nominations have
been confirmed. Two treaties, one re-
Iatlng to the boundary liEe between this
country and Mexico, and the other pro-
Vidlng Tor the settlement of claims OF GER
tain American citizens against Venezu-
eta, have been sent to the Senate for rati-
hcation.
ON THK HOUSE TABLE.
Twenty-four bills and joint resolutions
nave been introduced in the House of
Representatives, and four two of which
originated in the Senate) have been
passed.
Tomorrow an effort will be made in the
house TO secure the passage of the Presi-
dental succession bill under a suspension
OF the rules. The result is doubtful. as a
w SNobShh VIII liOb bC III OANtI
until after the call of the States for the
introduction Of bills and joint resolutions
snail have been completed. and, as the
members have their desks full of bills to
be introduced, the call is likely to con-
sumo the day.
UNANIMOUS CONSENT IMPROBABLE.
The succession bill may be considered
by unanimous consent, but this is not
probable, as the opinion is entertained by
many Representatives that the measure
ought to 30 regularly to the committee
before receiving consideration in the
House. 1t Is not likely that the commit
tees OF the House, possibly excepting that
on accounts, will be announced until after
the holiday recess.
The Senate, if it has a quorum to-mOr-
row, will probably continue consideration
of the Dakota question until , O'Clock,
and Of the bill fixing the salaries Of the
District Court judges after that hour.
The House resolution to adjourn to-
morrow night for the holiday recess will
probably be adopted by the Senate with
out change.

But here is a young man who takes the
other route. The voices OF sin charm him
away. He reads bad books, lives in vici-
GUS circles, loses the glow from his cheek,
the sparkle from his eye, and the purity
from his soul. The good shun him. Down
he goes, little by little, They who knew
him when he came to town, while yet linz
gering ON his head was a pure mothers
blessing, and on his lip the dew of a pure
sisters kiss, now pass him aud say ::
what an awful wreckH His eyes blear-
ed with frequent carousals, his cheek
| bruised in the grog shop flight, his lip
swollen with evil indulgences. Look out
what you say to him, for a trfle he will
take your life. Lower down and lower
down until, outcast of God and man, he
lies In the almshOuse a blOtch of loath-
someness and pain. Sometimes he calls
out for God, and then for more drink.
Now he prays, now curses, now laughs
as friends laugh. Then bites his nails to
the quick. Then runs both hands through
the shock Of hair that hangs about his
head like the name OF a wild beast. Then
shivers until the cot shakes with unutter-
able terror. Then clutches the serpents
that seem winding him in their coil.
Then asks for water, which Is instantly
consumed by his cracked lips. Going his
round some morning the surgeon finds
him dead. Straighten the limbs. You
need not try to comb out or shove back
the matted locks. Wrap him in sheet.
Put him I'm a box. Two men will carry it
down TO the wagon at the door. With
chalk write on the top OF the box the
name OF the destroyed.
Do you know who 1t isY
That is you, o man, IL, yielding to the
temptations to a dissipated life, you go
out and perish.
There is way that seemeth bright and
fair and beautiful, but the end thereof is
death.
Devote these December, January and
February evenings to high pursuits, In
nocent amusemeuts, intelligent socialities
and Christian attainments. DO not waste
this winter. We shall soon have seen the
last snow-sh0wer, and have passed up
into the companionship Of Him whose raj
ment is exceeding white as snow-as no
fuller on earth can whiten It, To the
right-hearted the winter nights Of earth
will soon end in the June morning of
heaven.
The river of God from under the throne
never freezes over. The foliage of lile's
fair tree Is never frost-bitten. The festi-
walls and hilarities and family gatherings
OF Christmas times on earth will give way
10 the larger reunions and the brighter
lights and the gladder scenes and the
sweeter garlands and the richer feastings
OF the great holiday OF heaven.

tor working the Big Indian wire in the,

overheard the message summoning Dr.
Schley, asked the operator at Big Indian
about the case.
UTILIZING THEIR KNOWLEDGE.
Learning the situation of affairs, and
appreciating the necessity of immediate
medical treatment, he consulted with two
brother operators on duty at the time, whe
had graduated from medical college in
New York. These two operators then
told the Big Indian operator what reme-
dies should be applied, and gave full di-
rections, as 10 the treatment, etc. Follow.
ing their directions, powerful emetics
were administered, which proved effect
i've.
HEROIC REMEDIES.
They also prescribed vigorous rubbing
and whipping with small twigs TO keep the
girl awake. DIR. Schley, who arrived an
hour later, said the girls life could not
have been saved had she not been treated
so promptly. This morning Miss Misner
