HOUSE.
As soon as the House met in order to
prevent the direct tax bill from coming up
Mr.. Cox, OF New York, moved to adjourn.
At the demand OF Mr.. Reed the yeas and
nays were ordered on this motion. The
motion was defeated by a vote OF 40 to
131.
The scene which followed the announce
ment OF the vote, resulting in failure to ad.
!ourn the house, was the most exciting
that has occurred during the long deadl ock.
Naturally, the Republicans expected de-
1eat alter the caucus action. and the re.
fusal OF the house to adjourn, was 81 great
surprise. AS one man. 132 Republicans
began to applaud, while their roars OF
laughter, intermingied with yells
rang out into the corridors like
storm. The speaker pounded
his desk for order. A half dozen Demo-
Gratis sprang to their feet and began de-
mand for a call OF the house. Mr. Ran
dali arose and attempted to make state.

and sat down amid the din.

bedlam There was a crowd about
Mr.. Sowden, OF Pennsylvania, the
only Democrat who refused to
stand by the caucus action, and
ne was l1nplored to move a reconsidera-
tion OF the vote by which the house refused
to adjourn. This he would not do, but Mr..
Mcmillan OF Tennessee, soon moved a call
OF the house to compel the attendance OF
absentees. Mr.. Reed attempted to makea
point OF order against the motion, but the
speaker decided against him
On viva voce vote, the demand for q.
call was defeated and on the standing vote
the democrats suddenly changed tactics
and voted against their own mott on in or
der to allow another vote on adjournment
which was moved by Mr.. Cox in the
hope that stragglers enough had come in
to the house since the first vote to change
the result. The motion prevailed by a
vote OF l4S to 1877. When the vote was
announced both sides began an almost
deafening applause. Members rose and
hurled documents letters and scraps OF
papers in the air, and screamed with de-
light. The Republicans seemed to enjoy
the occasion quite as much as the victors
and amid the noise which prevailed, hurled
good-naturcd taunts across the hail. The
speakers declaration that the house
stood adjourned until - o'clock to.mor,
row, could not be heard 20 feet distant.

Worth Noting.

Professor Thomas Davidson, distin-
guished Scotchman, said in sermon de-
livered last Sunday in Washington
Zone of the strongest proofs OF the
existence of the soul is that it cannot be
discovered; 1t is immaterial, the micro
scope and the crucible do not reveal it..
What we mean by the soul is the COM
mon principle OF will, yolition, thought
and feeling Each one must be to GER
tain extent conscious of snch soul. We
signify the soul when we say -
Here let me point out the almost
universal fallacy that time passes. 1t is
the succession OF events that passes, not
time. All time is always present. There
can be no measurement Of the ilhmlta-
bic hence no measurement OF time,
merely OF the passing OF events.
And many other striking things.
