THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
The Number of Bills, ETC., Passed by
Both Houses.

The precise amount Of the effective work
done by Congress during the whole Of the
Fiftieth Congress has just been ascertained.
There were 1000 bills introduced in the Senate
and las Senate joint resolutions; Of this num-
Der 1,127 bills and joint resolutions passed the
Senate and 554 were either postponed indefi-
nitely or referred to the Court of Claims, so
that the total number on which final action was
taken by the Senate was 1851. The committee
on enrolled bills examined 667 Senate bills and
joint resolutions and sent them to the Presi-
dent and 591 became laws, the number of vetoes,
including pocket" vetoes, being rs.
The House of Representatives passed 1861
House bills and sent them to the Senate, and
the Senate passed ], 347 of them, leaving 214 by
the wayside. The House passed Sc House
joint resolutions and the Senate passed all of
them but 8.
In balancing the account it is therefore seen
that the House passed 2, 1884 House and Senate
bills, while the Senate passed 2,522. That
leaves balance, in favor Of the superior bust
ness activity Of the Senate, of 233.

Bonaparte then dismounted, deeply impressed
with the wonderful circumstance. After some
further conversation with his officers, he said
that he tfusted that since God had given him THIS
signal Indication Of His favor In answer to his
earnest wish or prayer, he asked Him TO give
him another indication Of His sovereign will.
He drew his sword and uplifting IL. he said he
would strike the hard rock before him with the
whole length Of its edge, and II the sw I'd sank
into the stone, all his hesiiancy would be
removed. and he would regard the miracle as
conclusive proof that God guided his hand, and
that he marched TO certain victory. He struck
the stone aud his sword sank into 1t as If it had
been soft clay, tu its whole depth
BCnaparte doubts were removed, and he went
on his way. assured thai he had the countenance
of the Lord OF all the EARTH and he would con-
quer by many or by few.
Now this old man, whom would believe as
promptly and as positively as would believe any
humaH cfe ,ture whom have ever known. says
this thing occurred before he was born, but that
he has heard his parents and many Others who
saw the Who'll uccurr nee relate II often and that
ne has himself frequently seen the prints OF the
horses feet and of the sword in the stone, which
was still lying there when he left his native land.
