THE EXTRAORDINARY SESSION.
AS Soon as Few More Appointments
Are Made They'll Adjourn.

WASHINGTON, April THE APP
proach of the adjournment of the pres.
ent session of the Senate is apparent
from the way the Senator'S are leaving
the city. When the Senate convened
this morning it was found almost i'm
possible to get voting quorum on
call of the Senate.
A quorum was only obtained by the
members switching their pairs and
straining Senatorial courtesy point
or two.
Among those who have left town
are Messrs. Frye, Pettigrew, Dixon,
Gallinger, Hale, Wolcott and Teller.
Mr.. Quay has been in Florida some
time recuperating his health, and Mr.
Villas is off fishing, it having been i'm
possible to notify him OF the death of
his daughter.
1t is not likely that he will return to
Washington this session.
This morning Mr.. Allison started for
his home in Dubuque, Iowa.
Under the circumstance it is easy to
see that the hour for dissolution offhis
session must come soon, and the pas
sage OF the resolutions recognizing
elective officers of the Senate only
brings that hour nearer. There are
now but two II three important for
eign missions to gil and the District Of
Columbia court of appeals.
AS soon as that is determined upon
the President will notify the Senate
that he hos no further business to sub
nit and an adjournment will be taken
at once.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
First and foremost and above all things,
it purifes the blood. Not only in March,
April, and May, when the sarsaparillas claim
to do good, but ell the year round, it cleanses,
renews and invigorates the system, rouses
eve.y organ into healthful action, and drives
out blood-poisons of every name and nature
For the worst forms of Scrofula, the most
stubborn Skin and Scalp Diseases, such as
Salt4rheum, Eczema, letter, Erysipelas, and
all diseases or disorders caused by torpid
liver or impure blood, nothing can equal it
as remedy.

fails to benefit or cure, you have your money
back. Is any thing that isn't sold in this way
likely to be just as goodY"

Doing Ones Fart.

4 witty and misery gentleman who
accepted many invitations without re-
turning them, but who contributed
greatly to the general entertainment by
his bright conversation, once defended
himself by saying:
MY friends give the dinners, hut J
furnish the salt"
If he was parsimonious in the matter
of dinners he was generous with his best
thoughts, his most cheerful and enter
tanning stories, fulfilling one social duty
although he neglected another.
This social duty of giving in CONVEX
sation ones brightest and best, of max
ing an effort to be interesting, and being
cheerful when it is not possible to be
brilliant, is often selfshly neglected.
Life is an affair of mutual obliga-
tons. We have to thank most of our
friends for kindness and patience and
encouragement, and we owe it to them
to remember that often, unknown to us,
they are in need of being made to forget
some trouble or grief, or are in need OF
some fresh, cheering thought, and when
we give them our conversational best
we are doing what we can to supply that
need.

All great successes, l fancy, must be
surprises to the men who make them, for
the discomfort of the artist with his
painting, of the poet with his verse, of
the playwright with his play, is the pen
atty exacted by the ideal for which men
strive, and which all the more surely
eludes the greatest, whose imagination
is the most far reaching. When man
is satisfied with what he has done he has
reached his limit: from that point he
