WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The resolution intro
duced in the senate to-day to limit debate in
that body is the one adopted by the Republican
caucus, but it presented upon
Mr. Hoar's own motion. So far
as car be learned there has been no action taken
by any number of Republican senators to sup
port the res o,ution at this or any other definite
time, and II has gone, with many others of like
nature, to the committee On rules. which has
heretofore and until now proven the velt-able
tomb for ali such propositions.

The Philomothean Society.

On Monday evening, Dec. 2lst,
we had the great pleasure of at
tending the Normal, to be a listen
er as well as spectator to this
body of young people who are stu
dents in the state institution locat-
ed here, and we wish to give our
encomium to all that took place
that evening. No school in the
state of Missouri can do better
work than is done in this. We
have visited many schoolsin diff
ferent states, and have yet to find
one better than this. Those ladies
and gentlemen who took part in
the exercises of that evening may
be looked for in coming years as
of our ablest men and women.
There was perfect order and de-
corum which shows that the school
is under excellent discipline.
