Colonel T. W. Higginson, Of Boston, was a guest OF
the Draw!ng-Room Club last night. at No. 5Ol Filth
ave. and made q short, suggestive talk on no" u
study History
This is one OF the subjects On which CoIohel
Uigginson Is an enthusiast, and II Is a faVonte theihe
} in his Atlantic Essays a collection OF MS con.
,ributions TO the L" Atlantic Monthly" and Others OF
his better known productions. lie began the at
tcntiye study Of the theme when he was one OF a group
o, boys favored by the special attention OF John
ouincy Adams. In later years he was
n member OF the literary circle that
made Boston famous, and was also an associat',
though younger than they, OF Charles SUMNER au
others ~ the politiral leaders of the time. Tile fact Is
also noted If Mr.. HicCtnsOn. though not r'ceSShIHy IN
evidence Of his literary ability, that he was made colo
mol ~ the second ~ Black Regiment raised during inc

The feature % the talk last night that seemed per
hans most noticcably 70 impress the attentive members
Of the Drawing Room Club was that OF anecdotlc MS
tory. one Of the aids through which Mr.. ltigglnson
urged that the dry bones OF history's skeleton be MADE
to take on the flesh and blood OF life. ING speaker
averr,d hs own constant delight in the fact that tho
- humannesso OF tho Puritan period had been demon
strated beyond question by the story OF how the re
doubtable Puritan preacher. profancly known as HOY
COTTON, outwit,ed the street boy who intimated,
in The old mans oeIIeeO ed' ""i" !" M"
emphatlcally q fool. In Ike manner the bl'SHphi

PASSAGE OF TIE GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL.
Washington, Feb. 26.-At the evening session tho
House proceeded in Committee Of the Whole 10 the
further consideration Of the General Deficiency Ap-
propriatiOn bill. Mr.. SayCrs, OF Texas, moved t. strike
out the paragraph appropriatinG the necessary amount
for the payment to the Pacific railroads for services per
fCmed for the Government.
Mr. Grain, of Texas. vigorously opposed the amend.
mcDt. declaring that the action OF tho Government
in refusing TO pay the debts which it had justly con.
tractcd would be nothing short Of population.
Mr.. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, supported the propo-
stlon 10 strike out. addressing his remarks especially
against the Central Pacific Company, and asserting
that that company was rot only insovcnt, but
fraudulently inSolvcnt.
Mr.. McKcnna, Of California, opposed the amend
mcnt. The Union Pacific road had been paid for pre-.
ciscIv the same kind # service rendered BY the Cen
traI Pacific. Both roads were bankrupt. To pay ono
road and not the other was fragrant discrimination.
After a considerable debate, a TIT took place be-
tween Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Fithian, in the course oi
which Mr.. Fithian said that he would not have his face
published in the papers as the gentlcman's had been.
+, which Mr.. Cannon rctortcd that lie had sufficient
CHARACTER TO defend him against such assaults. There
wa much confusion in the House, but ultimately the
notion TO strike ont was agreed tO-147 10 90. The
nnr-ittoe then rose. and tc bill was passed. Tho
House. at IL O'Clock. adjourned until II O'Clock To-
