number of measures vetoed during the
session. was four more than have been
vetoed in any one session from the found
alton of the government to the beginning
of the session Just closed While nearly
all of the vetoed bills of the senate were
reported back from the committees with
the recommendation that they pass, not
withstanding the presidents objections
and while similar action was taken on some
of the house bills, only one, that
granting a pension to Jacob Romlser
was passed by the two houses over the
veto. The Des Moines river bill passed
the senate over the veto but failed TO re-
ceive the requisite two-third vote IN the

veto were defeated in the house Inc

A Summary Review of the Work Done Dur
ing the Session.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.--The first session
of the 49th congress, nich ended to day.
began on Monday, December 7th, 1885,
and covered period of seven months
and twenty-eight days, or 241 days, ex-
elusive of Sundays. OF this time the
senate was in session 164 days and the
house 1856 days. During that time there
were introduced in the two houses 13,2O2
measures, of which 1904 we're house
bills and PA house joint resolutions, and
1881 bills and SO joint resolutions of the
senate.
The measures proposed for enactment
into laws exceeded in number by 2,949
those introduced at the first session of the
18th congress, which set for seven months
and four days days of actual work
ing time. They covered all sorts of sub
jects, from the payment of a laborer at
the capitol for extra services TO the com
pick question of tariff legislation and
legislation with respect to national
finances. OF the entire number compar-
atiyely few were of what may be termed
OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE.
The greater number were measures of a
private nature or of merely local i'm port
ance, such as relief and pension bills, bills
for the erection of public buildings, for
bridging rivers, for granting the right
of way to railroads through military or
Indian reservations, for the removal of
political disabilities, for changing judicial
districts, for establishing new land offices,
for changing the names or location or in
creasing the capital stock of national
banks, for printing public documents,
etc, etc.
A very small percentage of the whole
number of bills introduced of either
general or private nature become laws.
comparatively small number succeeded
in getting through the committees to
which they were referred and reaching
the calendars of their respective houses.
Some secured passage in the houses in
which they originated but failed of &C
ION in the other branch and very large
number still remain unconsidered by
the committees to which they were re-
ferred. The total number of measures

Fat Men East and West.

To the student of ethnology few things are
more interesting than the different views
held by the Eastern and the Western worlds
on the subject ofcorpulence. In China cor
puence is considered to be one of tie most i'm
portant qualifications for the holding of any
public office. 1t is regarded as physical
virtue, which imparts dignity to the appear
ance, weight to the judgment and solidity
to the mind. In China the thin man is al.
ways moody and disappointed, he sees him.
self easily outstripped in the race of life by
his stouter contemporaries, and, enraged at the
unjust distribution of natures gifts, he re-
tires usually into obscurity and shuns the
gaze of his fellow citizens. Banting, except
as punishment for great criminals, is I'M
known in China. The most popular gods in
the Chinese Pantheon are those remarkable
for other obesity. With us in Europe how
different it is Daniel Lambert, whom the
Chinese would have sent to q province as a
mandarin, we sent to museum as a mon
strosity. Byron's tendency to grow fat was
one of the secrets of his melancholy and the
declining years of the first gentleman in
Europe were rendered miserable by that
stoutness which even stays could not conceal.
1t is true that Shakespeare intended Hamlet
to be fat, feeling probably that it would be
characteristic of such lethargic nature, but
modern audiences are not ready to accept fat
Hamets; they prefer thin Hamlets, and even
lean Hamlets, and seem to be of opinion that
there is an artistic discord between romance
and rotundity And indeed it cannot be
doubted that this opinion is very widespread.
The only instance to the contrary that we
know of is in the case of the lady who on
being shown the Apollo Belvidere, remarked
that she preferred "stouter statues y but this
lady was from Chicago, and the idea ofmaking
bulk the test of beauty is one purely Ameri-
can, and is not as yet accepted in European
| asthetics-PdR Mall Gazette.

Sunken Irish Cities.

There are numerous legends of sunken
cities scattered throughout Ireland, some of
which are of a most romantic origin. Thus
the space now covered by the Lake of Inchi-
guis is reported in former days TO have been
a popuous and flourshng city but for some
dreadful and unobserved crime, tradition
says, IL was buried beneath the deep waters.
The dark spirit gifts king still resides in one
of the caverns which border the lake, and
once every seven years, at midnight, he issues
forth mounted on his white charger, and
makes the complete circuit of the lake, a per-
Torrance which he is to continue till the sill
yer hoofs of his steed are worn out, when
the curse will be removed and the city reap
pear once more in all its Dygone condition.
The peasantry affirm that even now, on q
calm night, one may clearly see the towers
and spires cleaning through the clear water.
With this legend we may compare one told
by Burlington, in his History of Ireland"
"In Ulster is lake thirty thousand PAGES
long and fifteen thousand broad, out of which
| ariseth the noble northern river called Bane.
1t is believed by the inhabitants that they
were formerly wicked, vicious people, who
| lived in this place, and there was prophecy
| in every ones mouth that whenever a well
which was therein, and was continually cover
ed and locked up carefully, should be left
open, so great quantity Of water would
issue therefrom as would soon overflow the
whole adjacent country 1t happened that
an old beldame coming to fetch water, heard
her child cry upon which, running away in
great haste, she entirely forgot to cover the
spring-and, coming back again to do it, the
land was so completely overrun with water
that it was quite past her help; and at length
she, her child, and all the territory were
drowned, which caused this pool that re-

BE PAYMENT WITH THE LIVING

Sweet friend, when thou art gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the signing
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas! by simply dying!
Then lips too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see,
Shall not defect discover.
Then hands that would not lift q stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed Slumber.
Sweet friend perchance both thou and I,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take this earnest lesson home
BE patient with the living!
To-day's repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience cen when keenest edge
May wet nameless sorrow.
Ills easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamour
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
BE patient with the living!

Duck Farmers in China.

One afternoon we went most interesting
expedition up the river, and then turned aside
into one OF the many creeks, to the village
of Faa-tee, and thence onward in search of
one of the greatest duck-hatching establish
ments, where multitudinous eggs are artiti-
| cially Matched. The first we came to was
closed, but the boatmen told us of another
further on, SO we landed and walked along
| narrow ridges between large flooded fields, in
which lotus and water chestnuts are grown
for the sake of their edible roots. Both are
nice when cooked, but the collecting of these
in this deep mud must be truly detestable for
the poor women engaged in it. Passing by
amazing heaps of old egg shells flor which
even the Chinese seem to have as yet found no
use) we reached the Matching house, in which
many thousands of eggs are being gradually
warmed in great baskets filled up with heat
| ed chatf, and placed on shelves of very open
basket work, which are arranged in tiers all
| around the walls, while on the ground are
placed earthenware stoves full of burning
| charcoal Here the eggs are kept for whole
day and night, the position of the baskets
with reference TO the stoves being continual.

and attempted to proselyte the good
people of Bozeman into getting another
invoice of wives to assist in taking of
the chill of the approaching winter; but
there was feeling in the audience that
the man who represented the Church Of
the Latter Day Saints, was little off in
addressing them on this subject, sc
some of the boys went to a dealer in ole
and rare antiquities and purchased some
eggs that had smell, which is peculiar
to eggs that have yielded to the infirmi
ties of age. The Bozeman boys raised
the windows on the side of the building
and broke eleven and one-half dozer
out of twelve dozen of these eggs
against the collar-button of the orator
and they ran down in graceful lttl,
