THE HOUSE.

Today the galleries of the House were
packed to overlooking with visiting Py-
thians and their families, drawn thither to
witness the closing scenes of the dying
session, which was to expire at . O'Clock.
The attendance on the floor was very light
however, the great majority of the men,
bers having already gone to their homes.
The resignation of Representative Oates,
recently elected governor of Alabama, to
take effect December 3, was laid before
the House.
In accordance with the usual custom Mr.
Wilson of West Virginia offered resolu-
ton, which was adopted without division,
for the appointment of a committee of three
members Of the House to meet a similar
committee of the Senate and wait on the
President and inform him that Congress
was ready to adjourn and ascertain if he
had any further communication to make.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Wilson of
West Virginia, Holman of Indiana and
Hepburn of Iowa.
The Speaker also appointed the following
committee to investigate the Ford's Theater
disaster:
Messrs. Maddox (Ga.). Brookshire Qnd.).
Pigott Comm, Daniels On. W and Upde-
graft Qowa).
A Point of No Quorum.
The resolution to print the comparisons
of the rev tariff law with the present law
and the Wilson bill as it passed the House
was then called up by Mr.. Richardson
Crenn.), but when the vote was taken, re-
sulting, yeas, ii; nays, 3. Mr.. johnson
(Ohio) renewed his opposition to it and
made the point of no quorum.
AS it was plainly apparent that quorum
could not be mustered appeals were made
from all sides to induce Mr.. Johnson to
withdraw his point of order. But Mr.. John
son was unyielding.
The Ohio free trader and the tall Tonnes
seean took their places tellers and the
few members present sauntered up and were
counted, and then lounged about chatting
in groups and saying their farewells. The
crowded galleries watched the listlessness
on the floor in wonderment. The Speaker
signed a few belated bills rushed over from
the Senate, and occasionally the monotony
of waiting for a quorum that would not
come was broken by the announcement Of

The Number In Camp.

Camp George Washington is equal to the
demands made upon it. The original num-
Der of tents put up by the committee would
have been enough. Three hundred tents
ere unoccupied, and It was not necessary to
have erected the additional tents, which
was done On Sunday. No close estimate
can be made Of the number of men in camp
late this afternoon, but 1t is somewhere
In the neighborhood of 0.bOO.

Upon inquiry at the office of the Southern
Railway Company, Star representative
learned that Charles L. Glasscock had sew
cred his connection with the company a
few months ago, after very satisfactory
term of about five years in their employ.
He was engaged in the freight department
and among his fellow clerks bore a good
reputation, and was regarded as a very
quiet person, and quite attentive to his
he was from North Carolina. The speaker
suddenly remembered that on one or two
occasions a very handsome woman came to
see Glasscock and upon being questioned
as to who she vas. he replied 1t was his
wife. Her last visit was about eighteen
months ago, as near as the gentleman
could recollect. Glasscock had several chill

High Bred Dogs Not the Most Intel
ligent.

SO long as our dogs were employed
in the labor of the organized recrea-
tons of man, the tendency of the
association with the superior being
was in high measure educative. They
were constantly submitted to more
or less critical but always effective
selection which tended ever to develop
higher grade of intelligence. With
the advance in the organization of
society the dog is ever losing some
thing of his utility, even in the way
of sport. He is fast becoming a mere
idle favorite, priced for unimportant
peculiarities of form. The effort in
the main is not now to make creatures
which can help in the employment of
man, but to breed for show alone, de-
handing no more intelligence than
is necessary to make the creature a
well-behaved denizen OF the house.
The result is the institution of a Won
derful variety in the size, shape and
special peculiarities Of different breeds
with what appears to me to be CON
comitant loss in their intelligence. 1t
appears to me, in word, thai oar
treatment of this noble animal, whare
he is bred for ornament, is, IN effect,
degrading -Scribner.

A Tin TO the n lesf.

The smallest Incident, Whlcn,
most people, seems too insignificant
IN notice. has often caused the cap
ture of a criminal or the detection OF
a plot. All things are important 10
certain people. A man tried ms door
the other day to see whether IL was
locked, and caused crime.
He and his wife were preparing TO
90 to the theater. There was no
hody else in the house. His wife
rlanced out of the window and saw
man standing in the shadow OF tree
across the street. She thought moth
ing of it at the time. AS they were
leaving the house the husband cl1cked
the latch of the door, as usual AS
they walked up the woman's, eye
again fell upon the motionless form
In the shadow of the tree
She became suspicious.
"Did you lock the door when you
came out?" she asked of her husband.
Il suppose so. always do" ne
said
Hadn't you better make sure,
dear?"
"Oh, l am sure It's all right"
"But won't you go back and see?
I'm afraid you didn't, and I'd like to
be certain about it,"
So he walked back and tried tho
door. OF course it was locked, but
his wifes anxiety was relieved.
That simple act cost him great
deal The man across the street had
not contemplated robbing that house
before. for he didn't know whether
any person was at home or not
When the person who lived there
went back to try the door it satisfied
him that no one was in it. He crept
back the alleyway, pried open a rear
window and helped himself to the
contents of the silver closet. And
he wouldn't have done it except fol-
that trifiing, natural incident that
told him so much. - Philadelphia

Her Trustin Vaccination and Prayer.


Here is a little story, the incident be.
ing given to US during the smallpox
period and when Winsted was buried
In gloom. 1t happened when things
were at the worst and it occurred in
the household of Mr.. Benjanlin Rich
ards on John street. Mr.. Ridhards has
little daughter and she took 1t to
heart quite forcibly because the
churches were all closed, ;And so she
dressed herself in some Of heJ' mother
clothes one Sunday morning, and
perching upon the stairs pr decided to
hold church services. The little tot
was choir and soprano, and preacher,
all in one. After calling upon Mrs.
Howe to sing a hymn, she p aasonated
well-known vocalist and wing, and
then she did little preaching, and
then made prayer. The prayer was
short, and was as follows:
90, Lord. make the smallpox go
away. Don't let the smallpox get my
papa, nor my mamma, nor me, nor any
of us, O, Lord, we've all been vac
cinnated, and it's working b.e-a-u-t-i-
FULLY on all Of US, amen"
We are pleased to state that the
PRAYER was answered, and that the lit
tie tot and all of her family came
through the ordeal in good order

Chinese Peers.

When, on the death Of a Chinese
peer, an imperial decree has been OBJ
tanned nominating his successor, it
does not follow that that successor
can at once assume the title and
draw his pay. On the contrary he
is required first Of all to 60 Into
mourning for his father, grandfather,
or uncle, as the case may be. If he
is Manchu he can get this over in
hundred days-for the Manchus
were a practical folk, and, though
they yielded something to Chinese
prejudices, would not yield too much
but if he is Chinaman he must
mourn for twenty-seven months
This was the cause why the late Mar
quis Tseng did not, though his father
died in 1872, take up the title until
September, 1874, when he was again
called into second twenty-seven
months mourning for his mother

Do You Wish

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking powde.: :.
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sws..

That baking powder which is both purest ~,
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome

Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the beet

Avoid all baking powders sold with Gift
or prize or at lower price than the ROYAL
as they invariably contain alum, lime Or sul.

Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
