The oldest diary in the world, &C
cording TO a japanese paper, is that of
tt.e Hozaka family. landed proprietors
of the province of Kaschin. The diary
has been conscientiously kept by the
various heads of the family for more
than three centuries. II was begun at
the time of the fall of the Takedas,
who were masters of Kaschin under
Yoritomo, the great Japanese ruler
The pages Of the ancient books fail TO
show that the Hozakas were especially
distinguished either for inte llect or
prowess. There is no doubt, however,
that they were conscientious in the dis
charge of their duties. and lived the
peaceful lives of Japanese gentlemen
The state of the weather was natural
ly a matter of great Importance TO
them, and each day they chronicled its
condition. But the books have other
entries as well short time ago a
dispute over precedence took place be-
tween two branches of the same fam
lily in Kaschin, each claiming to be the
original line. The contestants appealed
to the Hozaka diary and found the rec
ord of dinner given several hundred
years ago by the head of the family TO
the founder of the side line. The rec
ord even contained the names of the
dishes eaten at the dinner, and effectu-
ally settled the dispute. The various
volumes of the diary now fill eight
chests and form the chief treasures of
the wealthy Hozaka family.-Chicago

four hours of roll calls. interspersed
with some of the most exciting passages
of controversy which have occurred
during this congress.
Immediately after the prayer by the
chaplain, Mr.. Catchings Miss asked
for immediate consideration of the or
der. To this Mr.. Tracy IN. Y. } objected
on the ground that it was not in order
until after the journal had been read.
Upon this Speaker Crisp ruled that
the order was in order at that time,
from which Mr.. Tracy appealed and
supported the appeal in an emphatic
and impassioned speech.
After some discussion, during which
Mr. Cleveland's former law partner,
Daniel Lockwood, of Buffalo, declared
that the rules of this house ARE more
arbitrary than the rules of the Fifty
first congress as applied by Speaker
Reed, Mr.. Tracey's appeal was tabled
by vote of 1893 to %.
After the announcement of the vote
on his appeal Mr. Tracy raised the
question of consideration. This was
promptly declared out of order by the
speaker. to the apparent astonish-
ment of Mr.. Tracy, who ejacu-
lated: why, Mr.. Speaker In
support of his demand, Mr. Tracy
read the sixteenth rule, which, he as
serted, gave to any member the right
to raise the question of consideration
upon any matter. The speaker ex-
planned that under the rules as he
understood them the motion made by
the gentleman from New York was
dilatory and therefore out of order.
From the ruling of the chair Mr..
Tracy took an appeal.
Mr. Catchings moved to lay the APP
peal on the table.
The vote on laying Mr. Tracy's APP
peal on the table was: Yeas, l16;
nays, 81.
Speaker CRISP then stated Mr.. 0atch-
ings' motion to take up the order and
demand for the previous question.
Mr.. Tracy then moved to recommit
the order to the committee on rules,
with instructions TO amend 10y chang
ing the date for the consideration of
the Bland bill from March % to De-
cember - The motion was defeated
yeas. 20; NAYS, 202.
As soon as this motion was defeated
the anti-silver men gave up the fight
and the question came directly before
the house upon the adoption of Mr..
Catchings' resolution.
Half an hour was consumed by each
side in brisk five minute speeches, one
of which was made by exSpeaker
Reed in his most sarcastic vein.
A fter further debate, participated in
by Messrs. McKeighan, Townsend and
Boutelle, the yeas and nays were or
