WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1888.
Messrs Editors:-Ifthe proceedings
Of Congress during the past week can
be relied upon as a criterion of the fu.
ture, it may be safely predicted that
the days Of long drawn out discussions
Of important measures upon the floor of
the House have passed. In fact, there
appears to have been developed de-
termination upon the part Of the Mem.
bers, that the discussion Of the merits
of pending bills should be confined to
the rooms ofthe respective committees
having the measures in charge and to
allow the report of the committee to
be indicative Of the proper course to
follow in the disposition Of the mea-
sure by the House. Hence, although
the proceedings OF the week have not
been of a character tending to greatly
interest the general public, still a
great deal has been accomplished in
the way Of disposing Of private bills
aud the way thus cleared for consider.
alton of more important measures.
The Senate in Executive session on
Monday last confirmed the nomina.
tion Mr.. Lamar as Justice of the Su-
preme Court, and also the Cabinet
nominations. The vote upon Mr..
Lamars nomination was q party one,
excepting that Mr.. Riddlsbergsr voted
with the Democrats. as did also Sena-
tors Stanford aud Stewart. The dis
cussion was almost entirely confined
to the Republican side and the line
of opposition covered the official and
political record of the nominee, as
we'll as his age, business habits and
legal qualifications.
The Supreme Court room was crowd.
ed with strangers on Wednesday when
Justice Lamar took the official oath
Of office. After the oath had been
administered he was assigned the
chair Of the junior justice at the sx.
trems left Of the bench which has
been unoccupisd since the 4th day of
May 1865.
There has been FIVE important con-
ventiOns in session in Washington
during the week. Probably the most
largely attended was that Of the Ma
tional Shipping League. The meet
ings were held at Willard's Hall and
prominent representatives of the ship
ping interests were present from all
parts Of the country. A series of
resolutions were adopted urging upon
Congress the Importance Of immediate
action in rebuilding and equipping q
strong and efficient navy, not only for
maritime defense but for the security
OF our commerce and carrying trade
upon the high seas The other con-
ventions in session were those Of the
National Board of Trade" Nation.
al Pure Food Association" National
Tobacco Association" and the INA.
tional Association of Window Glass
Manufacturers" Each Of these con-
ventions were largely attended and
measures dieGssed both interesting
and instructive. ! regret that. with.

The young woman with the shy eyes was the hostess. The matrons assembled with their babies were her old townswomen, with whom she had played girls, studied classmates and associated in social life. They had married some of them still lived in the place, many had moved to other points Just now some of the absent ones had come home on a visit, and their old playmate had in- vited them to have a reunion, and spend with her the afternoon. The young hostess was the daughter of wealthy parents, was highly educated, accomplished ill music, was gifted with imitless attractions, and yet was fast verging toward the fatal p years which would leave girlhood behind her
 She was amiable, of 8 splendid family, en- gazing, handsome, and yet unmarried. Nor were there any indications of change in this issingular-for beautiful girl-condition. Gossip connected her name with no suitor nor prophesied a husband in the near future. In fact, her friends, long wonted to her free dom from the attention of eligible men, had learned to consider her as doomed by fate to everlasting spinsterhood.
 It is true that there had once prevailed a report that young and promising law stu dent named Holcomb had been enamored ot her years before, but as nothing came of it. and the two were never seen together, the report had died of hamilton, and the girl had thenceforth moved, as was supposed, ir 'maiden meditation, fancy free"
