WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, 1856.
The last session of the Forty ninth
Congress is shaming its predecessor by
industry. There has been a good deal
less talk and a good deal more work
than usual so far. The passage of such
bill as that to give the Indians land in
severallty, that to redeem trade dollars,
that to repeal the Tenure OF office act,
Postal bills and appropriations, reflects
high credit on Congress us a part of its
second week s work.
Besides this legislation, various sub
jects have been briefly discussed, such
as Interstate commerce, the Fisheries,
and the Beck Railroad Attorney bill.
The latter measure of the Kentucky
Senator strikes at the railroad Senators
and Members, and its aim is TO prevent
them from acting as attorneys for sub
sidiZpd railroad corporations while re-
ceivi0g salaries from the Government.
When Col. Morrison called up the
Tariff, hush instantly fell over the
House and noise in the galleries ceased.
All eyes were turned upon him rs he
arose to say: "Mr. Speaker, | move
that the House resolve itself into a
committee of the whole for the purpose
of considering revenue bills The
yeas and nays were then demanded,
and during the roll call absolute silence
reigned in the Hall, and many mem-
bers with pencil in hand were figuring
up the vote. Messrs. Morrison and
Randall were apparently the calmest
men on the floor each leaning back in his
chair within few feet of each other,
while now and then Il remark was eX-
changed between them. When it was
announced that the motion was lost,
there was applause on the Republican
side. Mr.. Morrison's proposition was
voted down by the small majority of
five this time. while last June IL was

1t is said that dull times are not
known by the agents for the great pub
fishing house of George Stinson Il Co.,
or Portland, Maine. The reasoE OF
this exceptional success is found ip the
fact that they always give the public
that which is keenly appreciated and at
prices that all can afford. At present
we understand, their agents are doing
wonderfully well on several new lines.
They need many more agents in all
parts of the country. Those who need
profitable work should apply at once.
Women do as well as men. Experience
is not necessary, for Messrs. StinScn
6 Co. undertake to show all who are
willing to work, not hard but earnestly,
the path to large success. 1t should be
remembered that an agent can do a
handsome business without being away
from home over night. Another ad-
vantage-it costs nothing to give the
business a trial, and an agent can de-
vote all his time, or only his spare mo-
merits to it. Stinson q Co. guarantee
grand success to all who engage and
follow simple and plain directions that
they give. We have not space to eX-
plain all here, but full particulars Will
be sent free to those who address the
firm their full address is given above.

ST. LOUIS, December l9.-A letter
from Sassakawa, Seminole Nation, m-
dian Territory, gives an account of the
death there on the 9TH instant of Mrs.
Susanna Warren, perhaps the Oldest
person in the United States, If not the
world. She was born in the old town
of st. Augustine, Florida, in 1850.
She was slave and was the property
of Spanish masters until 1878, when she
with other Spanish slaves, fled from the
town of Pensacola when it was taken
by General Jackson. She lived in the
Seminole country from then until the
second treaty of peace with the Semi
noles. when she was regarded rs their
common property and was removed
with them to the Indian Territory.
She leaves one daughter living, who re-
sides in Austin. Texas, and is i'm her
97th year. She leaves many grmdchil-
dlen here, some Of them nearly 80 years
OF age.

A GOOD EXCUSE.
o. States.

Why Carl Naglebaum Was Relieved from
Doing Jury Duty.
The judge was worried and irritated
by the many persons who had been sum-
moned for jury duty coming to him with
excuses. When Carl Naglebaum' name
was called, the judge said, with much
asperity:
swell, sir. L presume, like the rest
of them, you want to be excused?"
''Dot is SO, your Honor. I would like
not to serve dot jury on
Nv hat S your excuse, sir?''
II would like to be oggscused because
my wife she is tead.''
''You may go, sir, your excuse is q
good one," said the tender-hearted
Judge, trying to swallow big lump,
and turning away his head to conceal
his emotion. The escaped juror imme-
diately left the courtroom A friend
and neighbor followed him out of the
courtroom and selling the escaped juror
by both hands in broken voice said:
'.Mine Colt, Heinrich, ish dot SO dot
your wife vas tead? Dot vas dreadful.
| feels for you, mine frent.''
The bereaved husband smiled and
said:
Don't weep, Hans; don't weep. 1t

country twenty years ago pefore come
dot America to. Ny present wife vas

ments. 1t is said that Miss Bayard wrote
a letter indicating her approaching death.
There are now in Washington many old
naval officers who remember the interest,"
ing circumstances attending the death Of
Miss Bayard's cousin, Charles c. Bayard,
at Mount Vesuvius. He was the favorite
son Of Richard Bayard, of Philadelphia.
whose father and Secretary Bayard's faith
er were brothers. In 1S43, while ON board
the United States ship Congress, in
company with several young friends
from on board, he made the ascent
of Mount Vesuvius. 1t was the same
Congress that went down in Hampton
Roads before the Merrimac, and in the
party was the same Joseph Smith, who as
Commander of the Congress had his head
taken off by a cannon ball, and of whom
his father said, when he heard that the
Congress was taken: "Then Joe is dead"
In the party also was Lehman B. Ash
mead, of Philadelphia with whom young
Bayard afterward went to Jerusalem to
visit the Holy Sepulcher. While there
they both had tattooed on their arms by
an old dragoman the heraldic arms Of
Jerusalem, with the date of their visit. In
the case of young Bayard the tattooed
cross developed virulent features, festered
and finally he became sick and the arm be-
clared that he would die, and even after it
appeared to grow entirely well he was in
the habit of saying to Mr.. Ashmead and
other friends: ''This arm will be the
death of me yet" Ten years afterward
young Bayard left for cruise in the Col
umbia as flag Lieutenant of Commander
Morris. Before leaving he took sad fare
well of all his friends here and declared to
one and all that ''they would never see
him again" He was very detected and
Respondent. Ten years to day from his
previous visit, in company with young
Carroll Tucker, of Maryland, and few
friends, the Columbia being then at Naples,
he made the assent of Vesuvius during an
eruption. With him were Rear Admiral
Simpson and Rear Admiral Calhoun, who
were then Lieutenants. He had an arm of
PrusSan army officer. He was quite
gay. Just near the Hermitage, where he
had halted ten years before, the party
stopped, finding it would be dangerous to
go nearer the crater. As they were turn
ing mass of lava and rock struck young
Bayard on the arm where he had been tat
tooed, cutting it fearfully and obliterating
the cross, and before the party could reach
the foot of the volcano he died. His
mother is still living, upward of ninety
years of age. His body is buried near the
foot Of Vesuvius.
