WASHINGTON, June 22.-A bill in
cooperating the National Congress of
met to-day.
The conference report. upon the bill
to ratify the agreement between the
Dawes Commission and the Seminole
Indians was adopted.
Simpson Pop.) of Kansas created
something of diversion by rising to
a question of personal privilege. He
proceeded to read from report of
Representative Grosvenor's speech be-
fore the Ohio Republican convention,
in which the Ohio member was reported
as having said, after a reference to the
opposition to the Republicans in the
House having voted in the interest of
the "reconcentrados'' for the 500 OOO, ,0O0
appropriation, that mine of every ten
of those gentlemen" had voted mo-
upon every subsequent appropriation
bill for the suffering soldiers of the
Union.
Dalzen CR.) of Pennsylvania made the
point that it was not a matter to war
rant the Kansas member in raising
personal privilege, and the Speaker,
upholding the point made by the Penn
sylvanian, remarked with some humor
| that proceedings in the House We're not
ipfrequently subject for outside COM
ment, and that should members insist
upon rising in each instance to a ques-
ton of personal privilege, the House
would have it's time so occupied that
it would be unable to give that calm
and elaborate consideration to legisla-
ton that is it's WON'T
Then, as the Speaker hammered hard
to bring Simpson to his seat, the Kan
SaS member persisted, and declared
'the assertion as regards the vote of
members on this side is false. Every
man on this side has voted for every
appropriation bill and no man would
have cast the reflection upon a large
portion of this House contained in the
speech Of the gentleman from Ohio,
We're he not dead to all sense of honor
and truthfulness, having in his posses
sion the facts with which the gentle
man must have been familiar"
Several private bills were pasesd
and the House then went into Commit

Original Observations.

Orange (Va.) Observer.
Even a blind man can see-saw.
The sermons of many ministers
are lacking in terminal facilities.
God is everywhere, but he has very
little space in the heart of hypo-
critic.
AS counting is called Sparkling"
of course the real fire comes after
marriage.
1t would be an outrage to consign
a man to limbo merely because he is
bow ], e sed.
If common sense was selling at
nothing pound, some people
wouldn't buy half an ounce.
1t is always better to draw people
to you by Il smile than to drive them
from you by frOwn.
The hatred of some people con-
duces far more to your happiness
and prosperity than their pre- -ensions
of friendship would.
Thoughts are born ia the brain
| and require close attention, as other
children do, to make them grow
strong and influential.

The newest imported models, says
New York fashion writer, furnish va

worthy as an exhibition of the dress de-
signer's ingenuity, but whether or not
they will on this side the water Danish
the plain sheath fronted skirt, minus
all decorations, from all but the several
styles of tailor gown remains to be
found out later on, when dressmakers
begin to busy themselves in earnest with
spring gowns. One of the very old styles
revived is the demitrained evening
dress, finished with long, slender pep
lum points, the skirt of one rich ma
terial, the long points of another. These
two fabrics are repeated ON the bodice to
complete the double effect Silk braid
put on cloth skirts ON wide trellis pat
terms, this trimming covering more than
half the depth of the skirt, is very
popular garniture. This elaborate aud
stylish effect is carried out on the full
blouse waist often front and back, or
the crossing braids appear only on the
front Of full blouse vest worn beneath
an open jacket made of the cloth.

LATEST IN LIBRARY FURNISHING.
have the inevitable glass mirror above,
nor a collection of carvings, inches,
arches and shelves for the storage of
pots and shells as it was in the drawing
room of old. The decoration and fur
nishing, while bright, should be re-
strained and dignified. The design may
be made in light unstained oak The
shelf has been dispensed with below
and placed level with the frieze, where
the accumulation of few pots and pos
sibly dusty calendar month or two
behind will not worry one. A cupboard
is continued above the panels and may
be used for books. The panels below are
in repousse copper, representing some
categorical subject. The hood and fire.
place should be in copper and wrought
iron.
The writing table at the side is on
rather unique lines, but we venture to
think it will be found useful. The desk
part is made to let down outward to
form writing table when required and
a reading desk when closed, with book
shelves let in on either side for reference
and other books.
In the wall decoration suggested in
this sketch scarcely any ornament exists
on the frieze, the idea being to keep the
