WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 17--Among the
bills introduced in the senate yesterday
were two by George of Mississippi one pro-
viding that employees Of companies engaged
In interstate and foreign commerce shall be
entitled to damages from the company when
inquired through the latter's carelessness; that
no agreement shall render the employer free
from this liability; and that injury re-
bowed in coupling cars shall be prima facie
evidence of neglect on the part Of the
company The other bill makes all patents
purchasable by the government, and de-
rlares II valid defence in cases of infringe
ment that the defendant purchased the article
Tor use or consumption. A long debate on
Buffers resolution TO deport negroes TO
Africa took place, and at its conclusion an
executive session was held and the senate
adjourned.
A Vote on the Worlds Fair.
The house spent the whole day on the
Worlds fair question. The committee on
rules reported q resolution to create a special
committee on plan and site, and Cannon OF
Illinois made minority report referring the
matter to the foreign affairs committee, and
with a provision for the decision first OF the
question whether the fair shall be held east
or west of the Alleghanies This last clause
was later stricken out by Cannon, and his
resolution was agreed TO. A vote was then
taken ON the substitution of the majority
resolution agreed 70 for the original reso-
luton referred to the committee on rules,
and this was defeated by a tie vote, where
upon Springer moved reconsideration
Mckinley moved to lay that motion on the
table, and pending a vote the house ad-
journed. The debate was participated in by
many members, and those who favored New
York voted and talked for the majority res
olution of the rules committee.
A Case of Miscount.
When the vote on the substitution of Can
mons resolution for the minority report was
first announced IL was-yeas, 14O; nays, 142;
defeating Cannon's measure. Springer, ris-
ing TO a question of privilege, said that he
| had kept a close tally of the vote, and his
| tally did not agree with the official tally. He
asked for a recount. A recount reversed the
former result and the substitute was agreed
to-yeas 1877; nays, 1S4
Again, when the vote on the substitution
of the majority resolution, as amended by
Cannon's resolution, for the original measure
referred to the committee was nearly COM
pleted, Springer saw that it would be tie.
He therefore changed his vote to the mega
tive so that he could move a reconsideration.
So Springer may be credited with saving the
day, so far as it was saved, for the west.

She Sits Up, Means, Falls Black Dead. and
is Buried.
NEWPORT, Ky, May 22.-The wife
of John Korb, 40 years of age, living
on the river road near Four Mills,
was to appearances dead last Monday,
after a long spell of sickness. The
body was prepared for burial, and on
Wednesday, while the pail bearers
wcre carrying the casket rem the
church, they heard a noise inside the
coffin, and upon removing the lid the
woman was found to be alive, but too
weak to speak.
The greatest CONSERVATION among
relatives and others in attendance en-
sued. When the woman opened her
eyes women screamed and ran about
as if demented. Some tainted.
Many of the men lost their presence
of mind, and it was only when the
woman sat up that aid was extended.
She could not speak, and was evl-
IDENTIFY frightened at her situation;
She was taken Tito the church and
made comfortable while a physician
was sent for. Before he arrived the
woman moaned, started toan upright
position, and then fell back dead.
Thephysician on arrival pronounced
her dead. and she was buried at once.
There is much excitement IN the
neishbothood, and many believe she
should not have been buried.

Monkeys and Their Prey.

The wav in which monkeys catch
and land crabs is described by q sports
man who made an expedition to the
Jungle around Singapore, and there
he enjoyed sport which makes the
contemporancous records OF Indian
experiences pale into insignlhcance-
The monkey lies down fiat on his
stomach, feigning death From the
countless passages piercing the mud in
every direction thousands Of little RED
and yellow crabs soon make their ap-
pearance, and after suspiciously eyelng
for a few minutes the brown fur OF the
monkey they slowly and cautiously
sidle up to him, in great glee at the
prospect of big feed off the bones OF
Master Jacko. The latter peeps through
his half-closed eyelids, and fixes upon
the biggest of the assembled multitude.
When the crab comes within reach out
dashes the monkeys arm, and OH ne
scampers into the jungle with cry OF
DELIGHT to discuss at leisure his clever
" eorned dinner. Rarely did the
MONKEYS seem to miss their prey, -
adds tie describer of this scene y
saw. however, one old fellow do so,
and it was ludicrous in the extreme to
see the rage it put him in. Jumping
for fully minute up and down on ali
fours at the mouth Of the hole into
which the crab had escaped, he posi-
lively howled with vesation- Then ne nc
set to work poking the mud about witt
his fingers at the entrance to the pass,
age, fruitlessly trying every now and
again @ to peep into it" These same

describing the snow storms in the
Sierras. says: The tlakcs come down
as large as I mans palm. Ihey catch

while all above is mass of exquisite

He says when the government be

Thursday morning, when the public Is
allowed to the roof and dome, or, il
we have written permission, any day

series of very easy steps brings us to the
roof, which IS of great extent, and has
on it small domes, and also houses IN
which workmen and other persons EN-.
ploved in the church have their homes.
Above this roof the great dome rises to
the immense height OF 3OS feet.
Around the outside of it we see strong
iron bands that were put there 100
wears ago, when it was feared that the
dome might be cracked by its OVID
enormous weight. There is an inner
and an outer dome, and between these
winding galleries and staircases, very
hard on the legs, lead to the top, which
is called the lantern, where we can 60
out on the gallery and have fine view
of the country ali around. Those who
choose can 90 up some narrow iron
steps and enter the hollow copper ball
at the very top OF everything. WheD
we look at the bail from the ground II
seems about the size OF 4 football, but
it is large enough to hold sixteen per
sons at once. On our way down, be-
fore we reach the roof, we will step
upon au inside gallery and lcok down
into the church, and as we see the little
mites of people walking about on the
marble floor so far beneath US we may
begin to wonder, that is some OF us, il
those iron bands around the outside OF

The explosion caused the widest

The conduct Of the authorities is
the subject of universal praise. The
highest officials have incurred per-
sonal risk in conducting the search
