THE HOUSE.
Continuation OF the Debate on the Wills
Tarin RiII.


Tnrin RiII.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Senate bill
was passed for the relief of the Omaha
tribe OF Indians in Nebraska, and TO ex-
tend the time Of payment TO purchasers Of
the land OF said Indians.
The House then went into committee Of
whole on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Buchanan, of New Jersey, opposed
the bill, which he said struck blow at al.
most every industry in his district II
was opposed by the teachings Of Washing
ton and the fathers of the republic. II
was, in It's details, vicious, incquitablc and
illogical. II would increase the surplus by
stimulating importation. II would carry
gain TO other nations and bring loss to our
own. lie denounced, In general and In
detail, the provisions Of the bill, and de-
clarcd that in the contest between free
trade and protection he would be found
on the side Of that policy which, for many
years, had brought prosperity and happi-
ness to his native land.
Mr.. llcmphill, of South Carolina, said
he could not conceive n system more un-
IN irc unrighteous than the protective sys-
TEN. lie earnestly appealed 10 every
gentleman who had the faintcst conception
OF Justice 10 lend his aid 10 the pending
bill, which sought, in some measure, at
least, 10 IN from the bowed down nccks Of
the people Of the country the burdens
that had been laid upon them. II would
be a sufficient epitaph or eulogy for him Il,
when the trials and tribulations Of life
were over, when Us triumphs and failures
were ended, when earth's work was done,
Il could be truly said Of hun that so long
as God gave him strength he had con-
tended Tor the liberty OF the people against
the tyranny Of their unjust opprcson.
Mr.. Osborn, OF Pennsylvania, submitted
an argument against the bill, which lac
characterized as a blow at the dignity Of
American labor. A protective law en-
ablcd the woll-paid laborcr in all industries
90 own his home and clothe and educate
his children, and created for his products
n home market that wis ten-iold more val
liable than any that could b. offered UNI
der free trade. lie protested In the name
Of the great STATE of Pennsylvania against
the passage Of hill which would destroy
lis industries, impoyorish lis farmers and
/ degrade It's laborcrs.
Mr.. Iludd, Of Wisconsin, said that the
Democratic party had placed lis shoulders
against the car 81 tariff reform and would
propcl Il 10 the end Of the journey. lie
denied that boasted system Of projection
had indeed protected American labor.

Several Ways of Making the Home Look
Cory and Attractive.
The mantel-piece was of white mar
bic. and as the effect is much better if
the over-mantel matches the under
part, We saved that belonging to our
set for the drawing-room, and had a
white enamel one made for the dining
room. II WAS not expensive. and As
the effect was very good will describe
it. The carpenter cut Il large square
Of deal of the same length as the
mantel-piece, only with a painted top.
He cut out a square in the center and
inserted a looking-glass. He fastened
a straight shelf below the glass and
sent it home. | then bought a few
yards Of Lincrusta Walton bordering,
about two inches wide, and nailed it
with little tacks round the glass and
round all the outer part Of the wood
work, the painted top and the edge of
the shelf, taking great care to fit the
corners perfectly.
When this was done every thing, ex-
cept the glass, had three conss OF white
enamel. This ought to be put on with
a soft and rather small brush, to pre-
vent any appearance Of lines on the
surface when dry.
As the white enamel is rather ex-
pensive, it is a good plan to let the
first two coats be of ordinary white
paint and the last of enamel. 1t looks
just as we'll, and is much cheaper.
A less expensive over-maptel can be
made by-instead of inserting the

to the center and hanging it on. The
effect is hardly so good.
Ours looked beautiful on the blue
background. And once having begun
to paint, l painted a little shelf to cor
respond; it had a painted back, and was
hung over the door to give 1t height.
Had been going to have pictures in
the room I should have painted their
frames, but pictures would not look
well with our worked panels, which
are pictures in themselves. The room
was lighted by a hanging lamp and
two gas brackets, all made of
hammered iron and white milky glass,
just the thing for our room. The lamp
hangs just over the dinner table, and
Is most beautiful. A great Ease of the

The Wrong and Right Way.

How parents provoke their children
by unreasonable commands, by per-
petual restriction, by capricious jerks
at the bride, alternating with as
capricious dropping the reins Alto
gether; by not governing their own
tempers; by shrill or stern tones where
quiet, soft ones would do; by frequent
checks and rebukes and sparing praise.
And what is sure to follow such mis-
treatment by father or motherP Bursts
OF temper, for which the child is pun
ished and the parent is guilty, and
then spiritless, listlessness and apathy.
Il can not please him, whatever l do"
leads us to a ranking sense OF injustice,
and then to craftsmanship is useless
TO try any more" And when a nan
Or child loses heart there will be no
more obedience. Many a parent,
especially many a father, drives his
child into evil by keeping him at a
distance. He should make his boy a
companion and playmate, teach him to
think of his father as his confident,
try to keep his child nearer to himself
than any body else, and then his au-
thority will be absolute, his opinion
IN oracle and his lightest wish a law.
