terday Mr.. Aldrich offered resolution
bearing on the withdrawal of U. S.
ships from Hawaii. Mr.. Quay in Of
fering an amendment to the urgent de-
ficiency bill, to test the Constitutional
ty fthe income tax, said he thought
an amendment should be made to the
law requiring the publication of the
names and salaries of employees of the
corporations. In this connection
he created something of sensation
by saying that gentleman high in po-
litical position in Philadelphia had
said as a reason why he could not
preserve plighted faith, and could not
do what ought to be done regarding an
important nomination, that he was un-
der heavy salary from great corpo-
ration, and was compelled to do what
the corporation desired. BY this state
meut Senator Quay formally proclaim
ed that there had been breach be
tween himself and his lieutenant, Da-
yid Martin, who had deserted Mr..
Penrose, the Quay candidate for the
Philadelphia mayoralty nomination.
In the House the diplomatic and
postoffice appropriation bills were pass
ed. The former carries 1852, lis,

COMMUNICATED.

That the streets of the city will soon
have to be extensively repaired is a
fact weliknown to all, and the cheap
est way to do the most work will
naturally be a perplexing problem.
Having seen some remarkably fine
streets, throughout the country, 1 would
suggest that the city purchase stone
crusher and steam roller, put the chain
gang to work digging up cobble stones,
which, after being ground into pieces
about two inches square, can be spread
in the streets, and being forced into q
solid mass by passing vehicles, we can,
in a few years, boast of as good streets
as any city in the Union at nominal
cost. Pro RoNo PURLICo.

If AMERICANS could only put then :
selves in the place of the people OF Eu-
rope, they wouldn't think the latter are
treating them badly by boycotting
their beef and other food articles. This
country, even under the new tariff bill,
imposes almost prohibitory duties upon
foreign products, and as it is only hu-
man to desire to get even, foreign gov
ernments, in excluding American prod
ucts, are doing only what might nat
urally have been expected.

REMARKABLE HANDS OF CARDs.-A
remarkable, although not unprecedent-
ed, case of card dealing was told by a
writer to the London Times last week.
At whist party in a country house on
Tuesday two packs of cards had been
alternately used for six rounds of the
first rubber in its proper order. One Of
them was shuffied, cut and dealt for the
seventh round. The dealer turned the
three of hearts. A prolonged pause
followed, which was not unnatural
under the circumstances.
The dealer then remarked thatit was
unnecessary to play the cards out, and
placed his on the table, disclosing every
heart in the pack. The leading player
then put down o whole suit of clubs,
the second that of diamonds and the
third all spades.

NEARLY ten thousand murders were
committed in this country last year,
the exact number being $500, and yet
only one hundred and thirty-three OF
the murderers were hanged by legal
process. 1t can be readily seen that
law, as administered here, is no deter
rent to murder. The wonder is not,
that there were one hundred and nine
ty lynchiugs, but that there were not
five times that number.

BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.-The State
board of agriculture met again in Rich

chairman of the committee on agricul'
tural aud analytical chemistry, submit
ted his report. A very interesting dis
cussion was brought out by a statement
in the report that the staple crops in
Virginia were grown at q loss. Colonel
Buford and Captain Whitehead thought
that there was calamity howl in the
report that would tend to deter immi.
grafton. Major Koiner said that he
thought that the truth should come
out; that there had been sent out glow
ing reports az TO the advantages Of Nlr-
GINA, which were, in many instances,
misleading, and immigrants had been
deceived thereby TO the detriment rath-
er than to the promotion of the cause
of immigration. The report was amend
ed so as to read that in some instances
farming was Improbable, and as
amended was adopted. Major A. r.
Venable appeared before the board and
urged the necessity of dairy culture in
Virginia.
At the night session of the board Mr..
Andrews, of New York, addressed the
body and gave an interesting talk in re-
gard to his favorable impression with
the advantages and natural resources
of this State and the possibility of flu
ture investments in6Yirginia by north
ern capitalists.
The board decided to appropriate 81 800
for the purpose of testing soils and making
fertilizer experiments, not more than S15O
of this sum to be used by any one congress-
ional district. The board adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning when the body will call

RoAr PARrY,s NARRow ESCAPE.

BOAT PARTY'S NARROW ESCAPE
Information has just reached Oman
cock, Va, of a perilous trip and a mar
row escape from death of a party of
persons who, during the cold and stormy
weather several days ago, made trip
in sailboat from Wachapreague, on
the seaside, to Revils Island, ten miles
away. There is clubhouse on the
island, owned by party of northern
gentlemen, who spend much time there
during all seasons Of the year. Mr.
George Cox, OF New York, one of the
members of the club. and his friend
and guest, Mr.. James A. Rome, of
Liverpool, England, had come down to
spend some days on the island. They
reached Wachapreague about noon,
and started at once for the island in 3
small sailboat, in company with Capt.
Bulman and Miss Lula Wicks, the
fourteen-year old daughter of Mr.. Chas Wicks
the manager of Revils Island Club, who was
returning from Onancock, where she is a
supil in Margaret Academy. When they
Teached Bradford's Bay fierce northeast gals
set in and drove them into held OF floating
ice. CAPTAIN Bulman, in attempting TO keep
Che boat off. was Knocked overheard by the
sail, and msnaged TO save himself from
drowning only by c,inging to the side of the
boat till it went aground in the shallow water.
The waves had broken over the boat repeat
eddy, and had filled it half-full of water and
ice. All were thoroughly drenched and
chilled and Miss Lula Wicks was so benumb-
ed by the cold that she had to be kept from
filling asleep by the constant efforts of the
gentlemen in the boat. After three hours of
uerilous toll and suffering they reached the
island. Miss Wicks was then in an uncon-
scious condition, and had to be carried to the
c clubhouse in the arms of her father. Her
shoes were frozen TO her feet and had to be
thswed out with spring water before they
could be taken off. An hour longer out in the
water, and all would have persisted.

THE CURRENCY BILL.

AS stated in the GAZETTE of that
date the Carlisle currency bill, which
has been under debate in the House of
Representative for about two weeks,
was ditched yesterday, when by vote
of 129 to 124 the order for the previous
question on the bill was defeated. This
vote is regarded as meaning the aban-
donment of the bill. The vote, how
ever, does not change the parliament
ary status of the bill. 1t is still the
regular order and can be called up
again whenever desired. Mr.. Springer
SAYS it will be taken up again next
week aud another effort made to OBJ
tain vote. The temporary withdraw
al of the bill has been for the purpose
of affording the leaders an opportunity
for consultation and also for the incl
dental purpose of testing public senti-
ment concerning it. The prevailing
opinion upon the democratic side, how
ever, is that the whole currency plan
has been effectually rejected by the
House. An analysis Of the vote shows
that all of the 124 votes in favor OF the
motion were cast by democrats; while
50 republicans, 80 democrats and s pop
ulists voted against it. Of the 80 dem
ocratic votes against the motion, il was
pointed out that 81 were cast by demo.
Gratis defeated for reelection.

THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. 10. 10 5.
AN EXCEPTION to the rule that Judge

AN EXCEPTION to the rule that judges
are more reliable than juries, has just
been afforded in Washington, where a
Judge decided that club, composed OF
newspaper writers, should be compel
ed to take out license for the liquor II
consumes, though not drop Is
sold to anybody except its own mem
bers. but where jury, to whom the
case was appealed, very properly re-
versed this decision, for the good and
sufficient reason that the club is not en-
gagged in the liquor trade, does not
profit by the sale of liquor, and that
every cent it receives for its consump-
ton is used solely for toe purpose OF
keeping up the supply thereof. As
we'll might mess formed for economy
be compelled to take out license for
the beer its members drink at their
own table.
