pleased with his school, and especially with the
/ attention given to the health and physical de-
velopmsnt OF The pupils. There are 500 young
| ladies there, and never saw in any school such
a universal appearance of health. There are
| SIX teachers, who board with the pupils in cot

! large dormitories. The young women are
instructed in practical domestic duties, and are
surrounded by home influences such as | have

for the University we are to establish, an oppor-

have the benefit of the experience of Others,
fand it is my intention to combine as
fsr as possible, their various points
| of excellence. We are able to ABORT general
! plan of building, which, though eayable of be-
| ing enlarged from time to time will form a
| harmonious whole, differing in this respect
from the institutions of learning in this and
other countries, nearly all of which have been
| built by piecemeal. The University will of
course, be developed by the demands that are
made upon it. am greatly pleased with the

believe in making education rs thoroughly

this idea to the fullest extent, so that the

may be well fitted for earning their
own livelihood want them to be

I do moi want to take any steps backward.

Congress This Week.
WASHINGTON, June 20th.-Final action
on the naval appropriation bill will con-
sumo TIE first hour of to-morrow's session
| in the House. Alter the call of States for
bills, motion will be made to pass, under
a suspension of the rules, Representative
Muller's bill increasing the standing appro-
priations for the militia. The Invalid Pen
sions Committee will also make an effort
to pass the substitute for the Blair pension
bill. On Tuesday Morrison will renew his
motion TO consider the tariff bill. Nothing
has developed since Thursdays vote to JUS
tify the assertion that the House will re-
consider its action on the subject. Tuesday
afternoon the sundry civil bill will be
called up, and it is probable that the re-
mainder of the week will be consumed in
its consideration.
insist upon action on the bill to prohibit
members of Congress from acting as at
torneys for subsidized railroads 1t was
passed by large majority, and without
debate but is held upon the table by Sena-
tor Hawley's motion to reconsider the FORM
er vote. This motion is notdebatable, under
the rules, but they may not be enforced,
since Senator Beck has expressed willing
ness to hear what the opponents of the
| measure have to say. 1t is likely that most
of the week will be spent in consideration
OF the following measures: The bill to
repeal the pre- -emption law the postoffice
and legislative appropriations bill, the bill
for the relief of E'itz John Porter. If any
time remains after these measures are dis
posed OF, day or more may be devoted to
the miscellaneous calendar under the five
minute rule, or the Senate NAV proceed to
discuss and aci upon the Des Moines river
veto and the open executive resolution,
which stands next after the pre-emption
repeal bill upon the caucus order of busi-
ness. The river and harbor bill will
probably be ready to be reported to NOR
row or Tuesday, bat the Commerce Com
mittee has not indicated a purpose to call
it up this week.
