Bachelor CoRsressmen.
D@G"CHVE tFrom the Washington Letter to the Cleveland

[From the Washington Letter to the Cleveland
 Leader
 The bachelors of the House are aumer- ous, and many of them would make first class husbands. There is Perry Belmont with his millions and his blue blood, and, if you prefer New York Republican instead of g Democrat, on the other side of the House hall you may find Ira Davenport. Ira is 45 years old. He has thin face, slight form, and red head. He is rather cold in his bearing, and the New York Sun has called him the red-headed iceberg. But a lovely woman would probably thaw his reserve; and he is millionaire. He has good habits and good tastes. He does not go into society much, and he has very pleasant country place at Bath, N. Y. Tim Campbell is an other New York bachelor. He is a dark faced, white-necktied fellow,a sort of cross between preacher and politician with bright black eyes and well-trained mus tache. He is of Scotch-I1ish blood, is a successful politician, and is 46 years old Napoleon King, of Louisiana, is a bachelor, as are also Charlie O'Neill, of Philadelphia, and Jack Hiestand. of Thad Stevens old district The woman who narries any one of the three will do well. In the Ohio dele gation Ben Le Fsvre is unmarried, and gay, E has a heart big enough for half a dozen women. He is tall portly, and not bad looking. The only objection to him is that he is so much interested in sending ont seeds to his constituents that he might ask his wife to help him in this work. Oscar Jackson, of Pennsylvania, a dark bearded young man, whose hair stands on end like that of John c. Calhoun, is one of the new bachelor Consressmen, but I am told that his affections are already engaged to a young lady in his district. Glover, of St. Louis, is another bachelor, and also young and of good promise He is short, sallow, and full bearded, and they say in St. Louis that his courage is such that he permits no one to make improper remarks about himself or his friends. Glover's colleague, John J. O'Neill, the funny fellow of the House, is an eligible young widower, whose only incumbrance is bright boy of 6, who has all the wit of his father. and there is in the New York delega- ton little bachelor named Merriman about feet inches high, and of about 100 pounds weight, who would be big diamond in any womans crown of love.

A Great Victory A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
 Cured by
 Hoods SarsapariIIa

s' In the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms At one time had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever Finally, on the recommendation of W. J. Huntley, druggist, of Loclkport, was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and the abscesses have all disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully lesS.' I do not know what it may have done for others, but l do know that in my case, Hoods Sarsapar1lla has proved an effective specific indeed. As an evidence of my gratitude I send these facts unsolicited, and am ready to verify the authenticity of this cure, by personal Correspondence with any one who doubts ito CHARLES A. RoB- ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
 This statement is confirmed by W. J. Hunt ley, druggist, of Lockport, N. Y., who calls the cure c greet victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla. Send for book giving statements ofmany cures.

FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, March 12, 189

ASH1NGION, 1dICu 1S, 1Oe'V.
 HoUsE-The chaplain invoked divine bless ing upon the country in this critical hour and prayed that the right of all persons should be recognized and strife and bitter ness promptly overcome.
 Mr Weaver, of Nebraska, asked leave to offer preamble and resolution which recited that nearly every Congress embraces at least one crank, that the present Congress is no exception to this rule and that it should not be in the power of an idiot, insane man or crank to prevent the consideration of any measure, and resolved that the rules of the House be so amended as to require at least two members to object to consideration of a bill. The reading of the resolution was greeted with applause, but MT. Springer ob- jected to it on the ground that it was not respectful to the House.
 MT. Swope, from the Committee on 1nva- lid Pensions, reported favorably the bill granting to the widow of General W. S. Hancock pension of $2,OOO per annum; private calendar. The House then went in- to Committee of the Whole on the private calendar At 4:25 p. m. the committee rose and 8 few private bills were passed.
 The Speaker announced the following committee to accompany the remains of Senator Miller to California: Messrs. Me Kenna, Spriggs, Coulitt, Morgan, Hepburn, Laffoon and Milliken.
 The House then at 4:35 took recess until 7:3o. the evening session being for the con- sideration of pension bills.

NO TRAINS YET RUNNING.
The Managers Unable to Secure Crews
 On the Gould System.


 On the Gould system. SEDAHIA, Mo-, March 12.-Superintenden Tracy was engaged all the forenoon at the roundhouse making preparations for sending freight train east this afternoon. The en. zine selected for the trip was found to be disabled and the necessary repairs are being made. It is announced that a crew has been secured and no trouble is expected on the part of the strikers. State Labor Commission CT Koehtitzky arrived this morning and has been in consultation with the Knights and the railway officials since early this morning. When asked what action he proposed taking he said he did not see that the strikers have any grievances and because of this assertion his presence was not welcomed. He will re- main until tonight and then go to St. Louis. It is predicted that troops will be sent here inside of twenty-four hours if the attempt to resume traffic proves a failure.
 ST. LOUIS, March 12.-An important de- velopment of the evening was the failure to successfully run out the Washington accom- modation at 5:30. The engineer and fireman declined to take it out and other engineers refused to do so.
 ALvARADo, Tex.-Receiver Brown of the Texas Pacific was hung in efigy here last night. The strikers are orderly. They spend much of their enforced vacation in playing base ball.
 PARIS, Texas, Magah 12.-Everything is quiet here. All the road hands are on strike and traffic is suspended. For several days not a car has been moved. The order recefv- ed by the agent yesterday to accept all freight was countermanded today. The men are confident of success
 FT. WORTH, Texas, March 12.-The Tex as Pacifc is in operation from New Orleans to Fl Paso. The Knights are blue over the fact. They will it is said try to induce the men to quit by offering them money from their fund.
 GALVESTON, Texas, March 12.-A special to the News from Austin says Leading Knights from local assemblies called upon the capitol commissioners to-day for a copy of the contract by which convicts are employed in quarrying stone for the new capitol It is presumed there is trouble ahead on this issue, though under the terms of the contract convicts can only be employed at granite quarries.

Vignaux in the nineteenth inning pounded ont 93. He left the balls in good position and Schaefer went in and beat the record. At 100 he was
 cheered, but when he reached 196 (the best recorded rum the audience howled. He did not stop until he had made 230 caroms and some of them phenomenal ones.

M MODJESKA.

A Sketch of the Life and Career of This Distinguished Artist.
 Helena Benda Modjeska should properly be called Medrzejewska, the name of her first husband, which she adopted when, at seventeen, she went on the stage at the little town of Bochina, in Galicia. She belongs to an artistic family, among whose members have been players, authors and musicians. Her father, scholarly musician of renown in Cracow. where she was born, had been very carefully and completely educated. She played seven years in Warsaw, appearing in dramas she had herself translated from Shakespeare, Corneille, Moliere, Goethe and Schiller. She was married a second time at twenty-four to Count Charles Bozenta Chla- powski, a prominent Polish journalist, who had frequently given offense to the Austrian government by his patriotic arti- cles. Soon after they resolved to immigrate 10 the United States, and the result was that they settled on ranch in southern Califor- mia. They knew so little of farming that they soon lost most of the money they had accumulated, and to repair these losses she learned English, obtained engagement in San Francisco and drew large audiences. She received many offers of engagements, made her appearance in the metropolis eight years ago, and immediately won high honors in public favor, She expects to retire soon, the object of her re-adopting the profession-pecuniary independence been nearly gained. Few women are so cul- tivated and accomplished as she. She is in timatelv acquainted with Greek and Latin. She speaks and writes fuently, in addition to her own tongue, French, German, Italian, Russian, Hungarian and English. She paints and carves; is a thorough musician, performing on several instruments, and de- serves to be ranked as a scholar Both she and her husband are burning Poles, and have not surrendered hope of the independ- ever, to make their home in this country, of which the count is, we believe, naturalized citizen, as well as an acute thinker and an ad- vanced liberal in politics. He is striking exception to the ordinary stage husband- New York Commercial Advertiser Feb3 'SS
