THE Senate committee on finance on
Tuesday had under consideration, and
afterward reported to the Senate, a
bill for the relief of the wrist of Con-
rad N. Jordan, the treasurer of the
United States. Mr.. Jordan and the
assistant treasurer, Mr.. Whelpley,
have thousands of checks, drafts and
other documents to sign every day,
and when the labor is divided il is not
much Of tax upon them, but during
the recent absence of Mr.. Jordan in
New York Mr.. Whepley was taken i'll
and las since been confined to his
bed. As a consequence, the accumu-
lation Of documents which require the
the treasurer's signature became SO
great that since Mr.. Jordan's return
from New York he has done nothing
but write his name from early morn
irg until the late hours of the night.
The result Is that the muscles of his
wrist are so infamed aud swollen as to
give him great pain, but he has to
keep on signing. No signature but
his or Mr.. Whelpley's can take the
money out Of the treasury and If Mr..
Jordan's good right arm should give
out the government would have to
suspend payment. The pending hill
is to authorize another person to sign
checks. The committe reported it
favorably. but it was recommitted be-
cause Of a technically discovered by
Senator Wilson of Iowa, by reason of
which the proposed additional check
signer could escape responsibility for
his acts. The bill will pass, however.

suor,.. Of IN. Piau.a St. Marco.


Piazza st. Marco, as you know, II the
heart of the Queen OF the Adriatic, and
glorious square II is, with its many brill
iantly lighted shops displaying Venetian
art; its handsomely decorated cafes, and
animated life-the resort OF tourist, pa
trician and plebian, who assemble here
to drink wine. sip coffee, and promenade
this their queen boulevard. Falling into
the fashion ! take coffee. and notice the
different characters congregated here,
while the dark-eyed Italian flower girl
deity inserts rose into the button-hole
Of the lapel of my coat and charges
cents for il. All nations seem to be rep.
resented, and fearful mixture of Ian.
guage Is heard. The Italian women are
not beautiful, prepossessing nor grace
full. They delight in smearing some
kind Of PREPARATION that looks much
like flour over their dark faces, giving
them the appearance Of negro who has
profusely powdered her face with lilly
white. The huge earrings they wear
elongate the ears, and look painful, but
they rather seem to enjoy it.
The pigeons which resort to the piazza
daily to receive the corn and crumbs
from the strangers who delight in feed
ing them are called the sacred birds Of
Venice, aud are so tame they hardly
move ont Of your way, alighting upon
your shoulders and arms to receive a
crumb from your hands. They were
formerly maintained by the government,
but now subsist wholly upon the bounty
Of the visitors. Tradition has 1t that
some admiral, while besieging Gambia
received intelligence from the island by
means of carrier pigeons, which genera
ally facilitated its conquest. He then
sent the birds to Venice, and their de.
scendants are the the ones we see now

OUR LAND LAWS.

Neither the pre.emption, homestead
nor timbeI-cuiture laws have been re-
pealed. Bills we're introduced In boih
houses Of congress, repeating the pre-.
emption and tinber.culture acts, and
amending the homestead laws. none Of
which however, haye become laws.
The last three commissioners Of the
general land of6ce have recommended
to congress the repeal of these acts.

THE WESTERN HORSE TRADE,

The magnitude of the western horse
frade that has been done this seas n
astonishes us all. Since the first day oi
January last over eight Thousand head
nf horses have been shipped east owe,
the Union Pacific railroad and probably
more than two thousand have hpen
driven. All of these have fonnd .
sasonably really market At good prices
ard still they are cunning in great
numbers
The limited number brought east last
YEAR demonstrated the fact thar western
horses possessed hone. muscle and great
endurance and hence they are meeting
with more ready sale this year.
There are thousands upon thousands
Of horseH in Utah, Nevada. Idaho
Oregon and Washington territory, and
very large per cent Of them are well
bred. serviceahle and stylish ANIMALS
In some localities there has not been
sufficient attenti paid tn breeding M
and the old cavnae stock controls. But
this rlass # horses il in the minority.
The breeders of Iudan ponies had
better stop production for there IL really
no market for such. Really pooa, all
purpose horses are in large demand i,.
bnth the EAST aud he old west, and IL
western breeders will use sound discre.
ton in the matter Of stock horses they
Will find II market There must, how :
ever. he a change in the manner a.
Fhandling II the east looked to for a
market. Aa rule when one wants q
horse il is for immediate use and the
prize is not 20 much an object AZ the
adaptahiliiy of the animal for the uses
intended. No active man wants to hny
horse that v i'll require time to ct him
for service. Ifthe intending purchaser
had the time ard the disposition Ia
break a horse still he does not want II
60 to that tronble and fnd ont. afte,
weeks of labor, that he has o buggy

lishment of large breaking and training
farms by middle men who have IN.
money to hny large herds Of nnbrokt
horses and fit them for market before

The r ,cky mountain country and tbs

Nevadas will produce the mnss hardy
horses in the world and they ars
destined to rapidly bnild for the emselvel
