FORTY NINTH CONGRESS.
AMERICAN OFFICERS TO IN-
 STRUCT COREA.
Permitting National Banks to Change Their Names--A Postal Bill
 General NewN.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-After the trans action of routine morning business, the senate proceeded to the consideration Of bills on the calender.
 Among the measures taken up was 8 joint resolution authorizing the president to grant permission to one or more officers of the army to accept temporary service under the government of Corea to instruct and drill its troops, the officers not to re- ceive pay from the United States during their absence.
 MT. Sewen moved an amendment re- quiring that no leave of absence under the authority of the joint resolution should continue longer than three years. This was agreed to.
 The joint resolution was then changed to the form of bill and temporarily laid aside to give time for the preparation of an amendment suggested by MT. Ingalls,, permitting such officers to receive pay from the government of Corea.
 MT. Merrill called up the house bill per mitting national banks to change their name, location, and capital by vote of two thirds of their shareholders.
 The bill makes the changes subject to the approval of the comptroller of the currency.
 MT. Beck thought such important changes ought to be made subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.
 MT. Hoar said the present banking laws placed banks under the supervision of the comptroller of the currency.
 MT. Harrison believed that the provision for change of location was too broad. It would authorize bank to change from one state to another.
 Senator Miller, of New York, today in- troduced 8 bill to establish a postal savings depository as branch of the post office department.
 Senator Frye from the committee on foreign relations, reported favorably the bill authorizing Bear-Admiral Nicholson to accept the gold medal conferred upon him by the king of Sweden sor kindness and attention shown to Swedish subjects during the bombardment of Alexandria, Egypt, by the British.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 24.-The Dominion Government are experiencing considerable difficulty in keeping out goods manu- factured by prison labor, which are being largely imported from the United States in violation of the law carried last session prohibiting such importations. A number of heavy seizures have already been made and Customs detectives are working up other cases which will probably lead to the names of several prominent merchants being identified with attempted infringe ment of Customs law.

AN AFRICAN SLAVE PEN,

There are rows upon rows of dark naked ness, relieved here and there by the white dresses of the captors. There are lines or groups of naked forms upright, standing or moving about listlessly; naked bodies are stretched under the sheds in all positions; naked legs innumerable are seen in the perspective of prostrate sleepers; there are countless naked children, many mere in- fants, forms of boyhood and girlhood, and occasionally drove of absolutely naked old women bending under basket of fuel, or cassaVa tub, or bananas, who are driven through the moving groups by two or three musketeers. On paying more attention to details, observe that mostly all are fet- tered; youths with iron rings around their necks, through which chain, like one of our boat-anchor chains is rove, securing the captives by twentIes. The children over ten are secured by three copper rings, each ringed leg brought together by the central ring, which accounts for the appar- ent Hstessness of movement observed on first coming in presence of the curious scene. The mothers are secured by short CT chains, around whom their respective progeny of infants are grouped, hiding the cruel iron links that fall in loops or fes- toons over their mammas' breasts. There is not one adult man captive among them. Little. perhaps, as my face bet ayed my feelings, other pictures would crowd upon the imagination; and after realizing the extent and depGh of the misery presented to me, walked about as in a kind of dream, wherein l saw through the dark ness of the night the stealthy forms of the murderers creeping toward the doomed town, i,s inmates all asleep, and no sounds issuing from the gloom but the drowsy hum of chirpiug cica as of distant frogs, when suddenly flash the light of brandished torches; the sleeping town is involved in flames, while volleys of nrusketry lay lo~ the frightened and as' onished people, send ing many through short minute of agony to that soundless sleep from which there will be no waking. H. M. STANLEY.
 Senator Edmunds has introduced a bill into the Senate providing for Postal Tel egraph System. After all the civilized world has been enjoying it's advantages for score of years, it would seem to be time for Uncle Sam to ask "why his nephews may not have cheap transmi, sion of messa- ges by telegraph as we'll as by the maiis ?'' The measure has been recommended by successive Presidents and Postmaster-Gen- erals. Every man, woman and child out side of Western Union stockholders and their allies of the Associated Press have a direct interest in it's passage. But the vast power of that combination has been able thus far to stop all legislation on this sub- ject.-0ur Country.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 24.-The idea of sending a flying column through tue Northwest to finish the work which should have been done last spring when the Government had 5000 troops ill the country, Is generally condemned by the military authorities with the-exception of Sir Adolphe Caron.

PROPERTIES OF VEGETABLES.
Some Points that May be or May not
be Valuable.
From Good housekeeping.

There is no reason why every house.
keeper and cook should not have knowl-
edge of the chemistry OF cooking and of
the healthfulness Of different articles of
food. At this particular season of the
year nature bOuntitullY supplies us with
much that is cooling in the way OF vege-
tables, which are not only delicious arti-
Giles of food, but are really health preserY-
ing, for often a slight indisposition ofchil-
dren or elder persons can be readily cured
by the free use of these culinary remedies.
Spinach has a direct effect upon COM
plants OF the kidneys; the common daa-
deliOn, used as greens, is excellent for the
same trouble; asparagus purifies the
blood; celery acts admirably upon the
nervous system, and is a cure for rheu-
matism and neuralgia; tomatoes act
upon the liver; beets and turnips are
excellent appetlzers; lettuce and
cucumbers are cooling in their effects
upon the system; beans are very nutrI-
tiOus and strengthening vegetable, while
onions. garlic, leeks, chives and shallOts,
all of which are similar, possess medical
virtues of a marked character, stimulat-
ing the circulatory system, and the con-
sequent increase of the saliva and the
gastric juices promoting digestion. Red
onions are an excellent duretic, and the
WDlJe ones are recommended 10 ne eaten
raw as a remedy for insomnia. They are
tonic and nutritious. A SCUM made from
onions is regarded by the French as an
excellent restorative in debility of the di-
gestive organs. We might 20 through the
entire lot and find each vegetable possess
ing It's special mission of cure, and
it Will be plain to every hOusekeeper that
a vegetable diet should be partly adopted
at this period of the year, and will prove
Of great advantage TO the health of the
family. With vegetables, as with every
thing else, much depends upon the cook
! ing and the care and preparation before
hand. Washing in several waters IS alb
sOlutely necessary to prepare nearly all
kinds of green vegetables for the table,
and great care must be gwen examining
spinach, lettuce, greens and cauItlOwer,
as often very minute insects are lurking
! in or under the leaves of these. 1t " i'll
be found a good plan TO wash them in
weak salt and water, after which they
should he put in ice water for few miu-
utes to prevent their becoming tough and
Wllted.

The True InMardness of the Sale OF
the oil Mill.

CHARLESTON, May 2S.-The property OF
the Charleston Oh Mill Company was sold
at auction Yesterday for S20.l 100, which
ends the career OF that concern, The mill
was started in 1881 with capital stock Of
500 600 for the purpose of manufacturing
cotton seed OIL For several years 1t had
a prosperous business, but the rapid In
crease in the number of similar esi ablish-
ments in the South and the rise in the
price of cotton seed caused losses, and
/ in January last the company went
/ to protest. The sale was made
under an assignment for the benefit OF the
creditors, and the proceeds will pay less
than 80 per cent. Of the Indebtedness,
which aggregates $4,000. The mill was
purchased by Mr.. A. q. Black, of New
York, representing a New York syndicate
of capitalists who will turn their atten-
ton to the business of controlling the
cotton seed oil manufacture in the South.
They had purchased large tract of land
here some time before the present
company had become embarrassed, and
had announced their intention to erect
cotton seed oil mill. IL is said that they
will own a controlling interest in most OF
the oil mills South and West, and will by
that means be able to control the produc-
tiOn and price of oil and the other ma
terlal produced by these mills.
THE NEW TERMINAL FACILITIES.
A new departure in the terminal tacili-
ties OF Charleston is announced to-day.
The New York and Charleston Warehouse
and Steam Navigation Company, COM
posed of New York capitalists, have exc
cuted mortgage to the Central Trust
Company. of New York, to secure an
issue OF $l500,000 6 per cent. bonds, the
object being to secure additional terminal
facilities for the South Carolina Railway
Company of which the Navigation Com
pany is an off shoot. The company has
splendid water front on Cooper river, with
magnificent warehouses, wharves, ETC.,
and owns a controlling interest in the
New YORK and Charleston and the FlOri-
da steamship lines which comprises the
four steamships, City OF Columbia and
City of Atlanta, plying between here and
New York, and the Palatka and Month
cello, running to Florida. The tendency
Of the trade centre of the city is toward
the northern limits, and the object Of the
navigation company is to move up
town, to bring the railway to
the water and to build additional
wharves and warehouses. The City
Council is disposed to object to the rail-
way running through the streets, but the
railway company at the last session of
the General Assembly secured the pass
age of an act giving them authority to run
their track through the city, and is dis
posed to disregard the city's OBJ
jections. The Council at its last meet
ing, however, decided to fight the
matter in the courts, and the police have
been instructed to prevent any attempt
to lay track through the streets. The
fight promises to be an interesting and
exciting one, with the chances OF win
ming in favor OF the railway company.
