The Recent Deadlock.

The recent deadlock will long be remem-
bered in congress. There has been nothing
like it since the Democrats tried to de
feat the counting in Of Hayes which was
broken by Speaker Randall declining to en-
tertain any further filibustering. He ordered
the clerk 10 inform the senate that the house
was ready to proceed with the count, and it
was through him that the deadlock was bro
ken. An hour after this Hayes was declared
20 have received a majority of the electoral
votes. and he was thus made president just
two days before Grants term was ended
There was u deadlock in the Forty-ffth con-
gress on a contested election, and the Forty
sixth congress died in a deadlock
During the eyentful two weeks under con-
sideration many night sessions were held, and
the Capitol at night is one of the great sights
Of the world. Seated about 500 feet above
the river on the heights OF Capitol Hill, it
can be seen for miles around looking like an
Illuminated temple. Its 1000 windows
blaze with light, spiral form Of burning
Jets runs up into the dome, and the whole
looks like great golden cross with a small,
yellow snake lowering in the air above it.
The view from the front at night is magnif
cent. Standing on the steps OF the Congress.
siOnal library, one sees spread out before
him a great, black, inverted sky, In which
the consultations Of stars beneath vie with
those OF the dark blue armament overhead
Washington, the City OF Magnificent Dis
tances, is lighted from one end to the other
Long lines Of jets mark out its
broad avenues. Crescents and rings
Of flame are seen here and there in the places
Of the numerous circles, and consultations OF
light show its squares and star Lit parks.
Pennsylvania avenue is the milky way across
this black sky, and the red lights of sleet
cars, herdics and carriages fit here and there
over it like the will o the wisps OF the Dismal
swamp. The great Capitol building at
night session is all ablaze. A thousand globes
burn in the lobbies and passages, and their
mellow light bathes the polished marble into
a softer glow. Statuary hall becomes alive.
and the marble figures OF the men OF the past
are vivi6ed. The paintings show brighter

Y. Ozaki is the name OF u Japanese jour
nalist who was recently banished from Toxic
and from Japan for having printed in his
newspaper something that did not please the
mikado. Liberty OF the press" he says, sis
privilege which Japanese journalists have
not yet secured. Their business is transacted
under excessively severe regulations, and
woe betide the unlucky scribe who ventures
to criticise the government through the col
umns OF his paper The obnoxious passage
no sooner meets the eye Of the official censor
than he hurTies to the Office, seizes and burns
the edition, and frequently suspends the pub
lication Of the paper for weeks" Mr. Ozaki,
whose paper is The Court and Country, is
also president OF the municipal council OF
Toxic, but that fact did not save him from a
sentence Of three years in exile.-Philadel-

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases Of the throat and
lungs than any other. It is probable that
every one, without exception, receives vast
numbers Of Tubercle Germs into the system
aid where these germs fall upon suitable
soil they start into life and develop. at first
slowly, and is shown by slight tickling
sensation i'll the throat aud if allowed to con-
tiuue their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing consumption, and to the head,
causing catarrh. Now all this is dangerous,
and If allowed to proceed will in time cause
death. At the onset you must act with
promptuess, allowing cold to go without
attention is dangerous and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,

Miss AIcott's Private Papors

Despite the fact that the late Louisa NJ.
Alcott ordered that all her manuscripts and
papers be burned after her death, some very
interesting material has been selected by the
remaining members Of the AlcOtt family for
publication in a biography now being written
and shortly to be published. Miss Alcott's
chief aim in ordering the destruction OF her
papers was that no part Of her private and
extensive correspondence should see print,
and this wish will be carried out in every
particular. But number Of other papers,
unpublished and most interesting, will be
given to the public. These manuscripts arc
scraps Of autobiography which doubtless the
author herself wrote for publication at some
time, as they were found neatly tied in a
package apart from the papers which she
desired should be destroyed New York

solenoe Solved the Puzzle.

A Meriden clothing dealer recently offered
a spring overcoat to any person solving the
"anti-rattle box" puzzle. This consisted Of a
short cylindrical wooden box, securely
sealed. The point was to shake the box with
out rattling the contents. On the box was
printed "You can't do it; but it can be
done" Those who got hold of the boxes,
after shaking them in different ways, cut
them open and found the contents to consist
Of pieces Of tin Of different shapes As nc
method Of doing the trick could be thought
of, it was generally supposed that the puzzle
could not DO solved Charles N. Fairchild,
assistant to Superintendent Fitzgerald, of
the Meriden Electric Light company, came
into possession OF one Of the boxes. He dis
sected it, noticed the bits Of tin, thought a
moment, and then, taking a piece Of mag
netized iron, replaced the cover on the box
and applied the magnet to one end 1t was
strong enough to attract all the small pieces
Of tin and hold them fast to the end OF the
box, however violently it was shaken. He
got the overcoat Hartford Times.

po,,.l ceromonv Of reet Ivashinc


Not long ago at the Hofburg the emperor
Of Austria went through the annual Maundy
Thursday ceremony Of washing the feet Of
twelve old men, In former times the cere-
mony was double, as the empress washed the
feet Of twelve old women; but Of late years
her majesty's health has not permitted her to
endure the fatiguea-of this function. The
ceremonial takes place in the throne room OF
the palace, and is preceded by the serving Of
a meal in four courses To the almsmen. The
dishes are placed on She table and removed
by the emperor and the archdukes. There is
no eating, but the dishes. plates, glasses, nap
kins and covers are all placed in boxes, EN-
blazoned with the imperial arms, and these
are carried to the residences of the old men
A prayer is then intoned and, the right leg Of
each man being barred by court servants, the
emperor kneels and pours little water out
Of a golden basin over each mans foot and
concludes his pious office by hanging purse
ful Of coins around every old mans neck.
This morning the ceremony was attended rs
usual by tho principal ministers and court
officials and by several members Of the diplo-
matte body, including the ambassadors of
Italy and France.-Foreign Letter.
