pairing for the Campaign.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-After the
routine morning business, in pursu-
auce of previous notice, a resolution
accepting from the state of Wisconsin
the statue of james Marquette, was
presented. First was read a commune
cation from the governor of Wisconsin
addressed to the vice president, pre-
senting the statue of Pere Marquette
to the United States and stating that
it had already been placed in the old
hall of the house of representatives
now known as stasuary halD. Then
a resolution was offered by Mr.. Palmer
(dem.), of Illinois, and agreed to
giving thanks to Wisconsin for
the statue of james Marquette, the
renowned missionary, explorer and
discoVerer," and accepting the same.
Mr.. Mitchell rep OF Wisconsin, then
addressed the house referring to the
life and achievements of Father Mar
quette Mr.. Kyle and Mr. Palmer fol-
lowed with eulogistic remarks on Mar
quette's character and usefulness. Mr..
Palmer concluded with this sentence:
Il do not assent to the Roman Catholic
theories of ecclesiasticism, but I would
despise myself if the garb of a priest
of that church would hide from my
view the noble, resolute, devout Chris
tian hero within" The addresses were
closed by Mr.. Villas
Irby Differs with TiHmln.
WASHINGTON, April 90 Senator Irby
has returned from South Carolina, and
he has a different opinion as to the
course which the South Carolina dele
gation will pursue at Chicago from
that expressed by Senator TilIman.
Senator Irby said: ~ don't believe
that there is one man in hundred
who will leave the democratic party if
a free silver candidate is not named.
I am a free silver man myself, and I
talked with hundreds of my constitu-
ents on the subject, so that I know
whereof I speak. They want to be
democrats, and they have no sympathy
with the threat of some of the silver
men to leave the democratic party if
they do not get all they want"

WASHINGTON, April 29-The demo
cratic congressional committee is hard
at work repairing the fences for tbs

The most extraordinary of all light houses is to be found on Arnish Rock, StornOway Bny-a rock which Is separat- ed from tho Island of Lewis by a channel over 800 feet wide. It is in the lIebrides, Scotland. On this rock cOnical b"acOn is erected and on its summit u lantern Is fixed, from which, night after night, shines light which is seen hy fishermen far and wide. Yet there is no burning lamp in the lantern and no attendant ever goes to it, for the simple reason that there is no lamp to attend to, no wick to train, and no oil-well 10 replenish.
 The way in which this peculiar light house is s.illuminated is this: On the Is- land of Lewis, 800 feet or so away, is lighthouse, and from window in the tower a strenm of light is projected on a mirror in tho lantern on the summit of Arnish Rock. Thos" rays are reflected to all arrangement of prisms, and by their action are conveyed to n focus outside the lantern, from where they diverge in the necessary direction.
 The consequence is that to all intents and purposes a lighthouse exists which has neither lamp nor lighthouse-keepcr and yet which gives as serviceable a light taking into account the requirements "f this locality-as if an elaborate and costly lighthouse, with lamps, s"rvice-l oom, bedroom, living room, storC-roOm, oiI- room, watertanks and all other accessO- ries were erected on the summit of the rock -TH Bits
