CONGRESS,
Abstract Of the More Important Pro-
ceedings Of Both Houses.
TUESDAY. March 9.

In the Senate. the bill for an international
monetary conference caused two hours of ami
mated debate. During the day Senator's elect
Spooner, Of Wisconsin; Fairbanks. Of Indiana.
and Heitfeld, of Idaho were on the floor of the
Senate. The Fertilization appropriation bill
was passed early in the day. The Deficiency
appropriation bill led to an animated contro-
versy over adding number of claims aggre-
eating $685., 800 under the Bowman act. An
amendment covering the claims was finally
adopted. An amendment was also agreed to
appropriating $9l. $50 to pay John Paul Jones
the amount of a claim. The committee amend
ments oil were agreed to. 1t was late at night
before the Senate again got to work on the
Deficiency bill, having considered two confer
ence reports. The bill was passed.

In the House. Representative Dalzell. of
Pennsylvania, took occasion of a lull in the pro-
ceedings while waiting for conference reports
to reply to Mr.. McMilan's attack an Justice
Shiras, Of the United States Supreme Court q
few weeks ago. when the Tennessee member
made some caustic comments on the Justice
for his reversal of position on the constitution
atty of the income tax decision. Mr.. Dazell
was vitriolic. He commented sarcastically on
the elegant and classic" language employed
by Mr.. Mcmillan when the latter spoke of
having penetrated the thick skin of Justice
Shiras. He proceeded to pay high tribute to
the Justice, whom he described as "high-
minded, honorable, scholarly and accomplished
gentleman, aud righteous Judge. His whole
life was an answer to every insinuation, high
or low" Mr.. Dalzell spoke for about an hour
and half, closing by calling OIL the Demo
cratic side to retract manfully the charges so
frequently heard on the stump last year.

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrotuIa Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began to nave sores break out On his right
cheek. We used oil the external APP
plications that we could think OR hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all oyer one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another %scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's ern. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, l began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparille, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. 8. s. WRorEN, Farming

Blackmore, George Macdonald and
Mrs. Amelia. E. Barr have each novels
just out. They are excellent writer's
and noyelists, Inc are not of the ex-
IRENE school of romanticism, but are
strong, graphic and entertaining. You
will hardly find any thing unclean
with these writer's.
Mr.. Hamilton w. Mabie has now
before the scholarly, thoughtful part Of
the reading public seven volumes of
essays and criticisms. We have read
four consecutively and more or less
in all. He is, we are much inclined to
think, the most elegant, graceful and
earnest OF the present school Of
American essayists. His style is re-
markedly finished and engaging. A
young man Of parts would be wise to
read carefully, all the volumes.
Young Arthur Henry Hallam, who
died in his early manhood, is the
theme of Tennyson's immortal elegiac
poem, m Of the glories Of the nine
tenth century, I'm Memoriam." That
and the marvellous 'Idylls of the
King" are the great poets master
pieces probably. The former we re-
gard as beyond question the most
masterful Of all eligies, and the latter
is the greatest epic that has appeared
since Milton published Paradise Lost
a neglected poem in this last quarter
of the century, but the sublimest poem
in any language no doubt. Mr.. Glad
stone was at school with Hallam and
he wrote lately that he was 'the no
blest man he eve knew" To have
Gladstone's highest admiration and
Tennyson's love is enough to exalt the
memory of any man, or any youth
so gifted who died before his talents
had fully Powered.

We like that. It is sensible, true, to
the point. We read recently that in

had her little day. Let her go. The
world has not been improved by her
presence. The refined woman, the

cious manners Of the past that lent

miration and knightly courtesies of the
men, were h glory of the race and
the real patterns for all time. The
noisy, self-reliant. brusque, bold, star
ing women are not the kind who call
out the reverence, the respect, the ad-
miration, the love of we'll hammered
and noble men. Mr.. Calhoun concludes
by saying:
"A few thousand dollars should not
stand in the way of giving our women
all the educational facilities they want,
but the manner of doing this requires
serious thought and not sentiment. 1t
is too serious a question to be treated
lightly.
Il love, respect and admire our wo-
men too much to see them placed in a
position where they do not belong. 1

sible safeguard, and 1 would give my
life in their defense"

farmers experience this year. Mr.. w.
c.. Daniel raised rs barrels OF corn,
1000 pounds Of tobacco. 80 bushels OF
oats, and 125 bushels OF wheat with one
horse this year. This will not amount
in value to less than 500, and may
ven reach $500. Putting tobacco at
only 10 cents a pounds average and the
other products at current value his
output aggregated 1872. Putting the to-
bacco at Is cents average it will make
duct on one horse. Probably he made
potatoes, peas. ETC.. not included.
In 1870, Mr.. Dickin. an Edgecombe
farmer, made himself with one horse,
he received 81, 100. This is a fact. 1t
is very doubtful il this farming has
been equalled in North Carolina, and
possibly not in the south. About 1876
county OF Mr.. Daniel above referred
to) made a crop of tobacco himself for
which he received 81, $50. He Of course,
raised corn, peas wheat and potatoes
as is the custom in that once greatly
prosperous county. Some fine farming
has been done in this state. We have
often told Of Dennis Tilley. of Gran
vile, averaging considerably more than
500 a pound for nineteen tierces of
tobacco he grew. We have told, too.
OF Mitchell Currin's two boys aged 16
and IA (aided by a sickly brother of
12), making a crop OF tobacco hat
cleared the old man $1,000. That has
not been equalled often If ever on this
continent. It helps to give character
and fame to a state to publish farming
statistics that are absolutely reliable.
We asked Mr.. Tilley about 1875 if he
did not average $1,000 to every hand he
worked in tobacco, and he said he
thought he did. The average of those
times are not prevailing now. The
cigarette trust and perhaps other
causes have prevented such splendid
results. But there is good farming
still with fine returns in the state in
spite of hard times, low prices and bad
government.

ATRUE GEORGIAN ON co EDUCA.

It is a healthful sign for h south
ed people have given into the northern
fad Of c~o-education, sending young
women n young men to the same col
leges and universities. h old, ia
nous, great English universities have
not yielded to this craze for novelty,
and the twenty-three colleges consti-
tuting the University of Oxford are not
crowded with young women. 1t is so
with the other great university, Cam
bridge. Harvard, and we believe,
Johns Hopkins also, as yet have not
yielded to the latter-day folly and
opened their doors wide to women as
we'll as men. We have aforetime given
some views of northern teachers, and
not all favorable to this c~o-education
fanaticism. We must hope tina this
mania will not take complete posses
sion of southern institutions of learn
ing. A distinguished teacher in Geor-
gia, Professor William P. Calhoun, a

mand it, it is the duty of the state to
supply them with every educational

so. But, observation-disclosures forbid. The
trouble with our day is not that our
girls do not receive better education
than formerly, but that the tendency
is to make the girls one of the boys in

quence is that delicacy of name for

If women are supplanting men in

spinning, the knitting, even the weav-
ing, the making of garments, all of

almost entirely by women. These oc-

Secretary Gage leaves no doubt as to
his position in favor of early legislation
for the gradual but complete redemp-
ton of the outstanding greenbacks. In
the view Of the secretary this is essen
tia to any and every substantial plan

there are too many influential men in
the republican membership OF congress
who are opposed to any measure in
volving the redemption of greenbacks,
and whose opposition threatens to de-
feat the recommendations of the sec
rotary of the treasury. But defeat of
the secretary on this question would
completely destroy the ~pretensions Of
the republican party as the peculiar

ARCHITECTURAL RUINS IN SOUTH

ARCHITECTURAL RUINS IN SOUTH
AFRICA.
The London correspondent of The
Birmingham Post says that the forma-
ton Of an Ancient Ruins Prospecting
Company in Rhodesia, which encoun-
tered some criticism from archaeolo-
gists. has had one result which will be
heard Of with interest by those who re-
gard the scheme as h work of COM
mercial vandals, for the travellers en-
ployed by the company have discovered
a number Of hitherto unknown ruins.
Messrs. Neale and Johnson, who knew
of no fewer than 200 separate ruins al
together, have on a recent expedition
located IS. One is particularly inter-
esting, as. though it resembles Zimba-
bye in shape. its walls, about fifteen
inches thick and fifteen feet high. are
made in a novel name They do not
consist Of bricks or tiles, but seem to
be in n solid piece Of glazed mate
rial, which looks as IL it had been burnt
after being placed in position. This
strange style Of architecture suggests.
Messrs. Neale and Johnson think, a
different race Of people from the or
binary ancient workers. 1t is clear from
the character of the ruins hat they
had attained a high standard Of ex-
cellence in building. Even more re-
than the news Of this find is
the report OF Messrs. Neale and John
son that they have verified the story
which has been always current among
the natives as to the existence Of an
ancient building, which possesses mas
sive stone doors, still in position and
unopened. The explorers state that

To Cure

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications. Catarrh is
a constitutional disease. and can be
successfully treated only by means of
a constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarasaparilla, which thoroughly puri-
fies the blood and removes the scrofu-
lous taints which cause catarrh. The
great number of testimonials from
those who have been cured of catarrh
by Hoods Sarsaparilla prove the I'M
equalled power of this medicine to con-
quer this disease. If troubled with
Catarrh give Hoods Sarsaparilla a
fair trial at once.
