CLOSING SCENES OF CONGRESS.
The Last Night OF the session or the Forty
Eighth Congress How the Lobby
Pushed the Subsidy Clause

Special sentinel Letter

WASHINGTON, March :. The last few hours
ct a Congress sre always intensely interest
ing ones. The last hours OF the Forty
seventh Congress were spent in wrsngle
over the right to the seat held by Richard
SOD, of South Carolina. Lee, a colored man,
claimed the seat, and the Democrat in the
House refused TO vote thus breaking the
quorum. Richardson was unseated, but Les
vss not sworn in. TIE last night of the
Forty.seventn Congress WAS spent in an ex-
oeedingly noisy manner. and all work was
blocked. The scenes AT the last night session
CT the Forty.eighth Congress we're somewhat
similar. The pending business was the con-
tested election case OF Frsderjcks versus
Wilson, of Iowa, and although the night
Jasssd without single reference to the case,
the fact that it was before the House was
sufficient to Illustrate all attempts to call up
other matters 1t was the general under
standing that this contest should not be
decided. On the Republican side there was
sn unanimous determination to keep Wilson
in his seat, while among the Democrats there
were many who saw IL this an opportunity
TO prevent the consideration of the bill to
retire General Grant. Others on the same
side OF the Cnambe- were not anxious to
settle the contest, because they feared the
Speaker would recognize Morse to
move the passage of the Bankruptcy
bill. The Conference Committees
on the various appropriation bills were busy
all night, and reported progress from time

The Hosse was very orderly and quite
good-natured throughout the night. Con-
tTary to the usual custom coffee was the
beverage most patronized. Groups OF tired
members slept in chairs and upon the sofas
in the rear OF the desks. In the front roS of
seats Potter. of New York, leaned back in

Drilling and Boring Wood.

The hand-drill or breast-drill, orici-
nally intended for the Handwriting OF
metals, has taken its place among
woodworking tools. In many instan-
ces it has displaced the bit-brace, or at
least has filled requirement left un-
satisfactorily supplied by the bit-brace.
The breast-drill may be used for drill,
gimlet or bit, and its speed-on the
best forms-may be changed at will
without change of speed of the hand
1t has its advantage also, in the more
natural motion OF the hand-the yerti-
cal crank movement instead of the
horizontal crank motion. A drilled
hnle in wood, for whatever purpose, i.
better than a bored holp The drill
cnls a clean hole; not merely tinding
its way between the tibres by displace-
ing them, but removing the material
entire as 1t advances. The gimlet form
OF wood borcr is crude al best; a thread
at the end is supposed to enter the
solid wool and by spiral friction pull
the cutting portion of it. The cutting
portion i twist like 4 twist drill or
auger, supposed to deliver the chips
which it never does deliver. The press
ure of the hand is necessary to force the
gimlet into the wood, and the pull OF
the hand is required to release il and
empty the chips. The drill cuts clean
hole, and has none OF the objections OF
the gimlet. Unlike the gimet, it may
be rosharpened so long as it lasts Its
speed in the breast drill is very much
greater than that OF the. gimlet in the

If VT ask WHY lhe Chinese have Ff-
manned in strange aud immoVable
condition for no many centuries. the
answer is clear. though it may at first
seem little inadequate. The Chinese
have no imagination. People without
imagination never change their habits.
The Chinese are clever, cultivated,
skillful craftsmen. admirable imitators,
but they have no imagination, and that
explains everything. They are perfect
~ satisfied with the dull routine OF 4
monotonous, laborious life. so long aa
they have enough to eat and buy
opium, and 10 gamble away a few cash
now and then with the dice OF d0mi,
noes, or over the glorious combat of
two valiant erickets. They are 4
practical folk, and so long as things
are pretty comfortable. they do not see
the use of vain aspirations. They are
content with domestic system which
M imaginative and romantic mind
could not endure. They are happy in
total absence of religion, because
they do not perceive that religion
brings cash. aud they feel no inward
promptings toward the spiritual life.
They have a scheme of morality which,
il carried out, must unquestionabiy de.
serve a very high place among the at
tempts to govern the animal whom
Swift acutely describes as not
rationale but rdfiOnis cdpGT, by the
pure principles ofreason. Here again
the Imagination is wanting; the highest
kind of intellect. which eonnotes
a quick and vivid Imagination.
demands something more than 3
moral system as the ground of conduct,
Let it be theology, a divine life or an
enthusiasm for the great human family,
there must be a sentiment for the
imagination to clothe with compel
ling beauty and strength. The only
sentiment the Chinese possess, the
only trace of the power of Imagination,
is IN their reverence for their ancestors,
and their feeling that whatsoever s
man does brings renown OF shame
npon bis forefathers. This is a more
powerful and ennobling sentiment than
Is generally perceiYed-it is the pivot OF
Chinese life; bnt it is too large and com
plex subject to be now discussed at
length. Apart from this. one redeem
ing attribute, the worship OF the great
dead, the Chinese mind is singularly
pale and colorless, strikingly devoid OF
che TiSiying qualities Of western iptel-
lect, empty of romance, enthusiasm -
in word, without Imagination. .-Ed.n-

Drawing IIcAr.. uu tiic Eukure.

A man ia China endowed with much
forethouyht can make snme provisions
for his own future cumfoit. The priests
have CONSIDERABLY ! organized bank for
the spirit world To This the progidant
may remit large SUMS during their life-
time, aud can draw on the bank az
soon as they reach the dark country.
The priests periodically snnOunce their
intention of remitting money on GER
tain dav, aud invite all who have any
TO deposit 10 bring it. All who feel
doubtful of the generosity of their next
heirs accordingly come and buy from
the priests as much as they can afford
OF the tinfoil paper money which is
current among the spirits. Ii Is an eH-
cellent investment. As for handful CT
brass cash, altogether worth about one
penny. they will receive sycee, 1. e., the
boat-shaped blocks OF silyery looking
tinfoil, bearing a spiritual value OF
about $50. Paper houses, furniture,
and clothes may in like manner be pur-
chased and stored beforehand in the
happy security that neither moth nor
rn-t shall corrupt them; neither shall
thieves break through and steal. When
the depositor lprobably poor coolie
or an aged beggar) has invested his
little savings in this precious rubbish
in the ecclesiastical bazaar he delivers
it to the priest, together with sum ot
real money as commission. For this
the priest gives a written receipt. AL
this din is thrown into large boat Ii
is q framework of reeds With bamboo
mast, and its sails and planking are o.
paper. When all the depositors have
made their payments, the priests WALL
several times round the boat, chanting
some incantation, then simultaneously
set fire to both ends, and the paper
fabric sanishcs in Hash of flame. Th,
priests bid the depositors keep theil
certificates with all care, and give then
to some trustworthy person to burr
after their decease, whereupon the sale
certificates will reach them safely i,
the dark world, and they can draw
their money as required. All thi
seems to be implicitly believed by /
