The Canal Debate Was Resumed in
the Senate Yesterday.
The House Amends the Bankrupt
Law, After an Unsuccessful
Effort to Repeal.
A NIGHT SESSION HELD.

WASHINGTON, June ls-The Isthmian
canal question was under considera-
ton at yesterdays session Of the sen
ate. Speeches were delivered by
Messrs. Perkins Of California, Gal
linger OF New York. Stewart of Ne
vsis and Morgan Of Alabama. AL
advocated the adoption of the Mica
ragua route, except Gallinger, who
made forceful argument in support
Of the Panama route. He believed IL
was the more healthful. The srgu-
ment OF the senator's in support Of the
Nicaraguan route was made especially
ON the ground Of feasibility and bust
ness wisdom. Mr.. Stewart and Mr..
Morgan both commended that the health
conditions in Nicaragua were superior
to those Of Panama.
The house spent the day considering
bills reported from the judiciary COM
mittee. BY far the most important
measure was that to amend the exist.
ing bankruptcy law. Tho minority
made n vigorous effort to repeal the
present law in toto, but was over
whelmingly deieated-65 to 1877. The
most important amendment is one to
defne preference, to meet the supreme
court decision in the case OF Pire vs..
the Chicago Title and Trust company.
Four additional grounds for refusing a
discharge in bankruptcy also are add
ed First, obtaining property on credit
on materially false statements; sec
oni. making a fraudulent transfer of
property; third, having been granted
or denied discharge in bankruptcy
within six years, and fourth, having
refused TO obey the order Of the court
or refusal to answer material questions
approved by the court. An evening
session was held for the constellation
of bills reported from the Indian som-
mittee.
The night session was devoted to
consideration of bills reported from
the committee ON Indian affairs. Bills
to ratify and confirm the agreements
negotiated by the Dawes committee
with the Creek, Kansas and Kaw In
disns Of Oklahoma was passed and the
bill to rstify the agreement with the
Choctaw and Chiokasaw Indians was
under consideration when the house
adjourned at 1890.
The senate bill to provide for the
sale Of sites for manufa cturipg or in

A letter was read from Secre-
tary Wilson of the Department o;
Agriculture at Washington re-
garding the establishment OF an
agricultural school in Honolulu,
in which he says:
without doubt institutions for
agricultural education should be
established in Hawaii as soon as
practicable. 1t is, however, a
question we'll worth considering
whether an agricultural institution
of college trade is at present need
ed in Hawaii. Experience under
similar conditions elsewhere would
seem to indicate that it would be
better to establish agricultural
schools of secondary grade i'll
which along with the studies or
dinarily pursued in high schools
a considerable amount of instruc-
ton in the theory and practice OF
agriculture may be given. Such
schools should have farms we'll
equipped with live stock and farm
machinery, and instruction in agii
culture should be along practical
lines, with special reference to To-
cal and agricultural needs. The
principals of such schools should
be men trained in Our agricultural
colleges and in thorough sympathy
with industrial education"

A BRAVE BOY.

When the cruiser Boston went
into action in the battle of Manila
Bay, one of the powder boys took
off his coat hurriedly, and it went
over the rail into the water He
turned to the nearest officer and
asked permission to jump over
board and recover it. Naturally
the request was refused; so the
boy went to the other side of the
ship, climbed down the ladder,
swan around to where the coat
was floating, and came back with
it. The action was noticed, and
the officer ordered him put into
the brig. After the battle, the
boy was court-marteialed and
found guilty of disobedience OF
orders, and he made no defense.
Being in command of the fleet,
Commodore Dewey had to review
the findings of the court. He sent
for the lad and asked him in d
kindly way why he had riskcd
punishment for an old coat. The
boy burst into tears and explained
that his mothers picture was in
his coat pocket and he could not
bear to lose it. The gallant Com
modore fairly picked the boy up in
his arms, and then ordered him to
be instantly released and pardon

Editor Journal: The enemy had been
trying TO flank us out Of our works all
day. and we had left several of our regi-
ments along the line on picket duty.
When, late in the afternoon on the 9th
day of October. 1864. as the enemy was
advancing. the Ninth and Eleventh Geor-
gia regiments rushed in just in time to
save our works.
We were four or 1--WE miles below Rich
mond on the north side Of the James
river.
We fired several shots into the enemy
and they squatted I'm an old brick yard,
and since night was rapidly advancing
we were very anxious to capture them be-
fore they could get away. Then it was
that twenty-five private soldiers, COM
posed Of men from the Ninth and Elev-
enth Georgia regiments, volunteered to go
out and take them, and we brought in
four stands of colors and 600 men.
one feature OF the act was no doubt inn
pressed upon every one who remembers
the deed. and that was that among the
men we captured there was the tallest
man / ever saw. He was also a lieutenant
colonel of one Of the regiments we cap
tured. ! now know Of only three Of the
twenty-five men; they are Tom Hancock,
Harris county; Harrison Barnes, Meri-

more of the men and have some OF them
give the names OF others until the entire
list is gotten up. ]. L. WENTHERS,

probably crowd the north somewhat less.
1t would be better for the country that
the north should be overcome gradually
than for it to be outnumbered all at once.
Were 1 asked seriously why an old man
whose education is deficient should i'm
prove it, 1 would answer seriously that he
should do it for two worthy objects: First
to enable him to better perform the in
tellectual and moral functions which re-
main for the exercise of his powers; and,
secondly, to increase his own happiness.
To all who desire a serene and happy old
age 1 recommend mathematical ,contem-
plation--a wide study and survey OF
mathematics, it's laws and relations. II
peace, unvexed by doubt or uncertainty,

shade of gloom. 1t is the first-born, the
eldest, OF all the sciences; and though
not the least emotional, 1t offers to old age
a cordial and healthy congeniality. 1t has
no laugh but wears calm and pleasant

with patient and prolonged assiduitY; and

plants against God. If we had faith in
God we would never complain. Life
would be to Gods children one continued
stream of peace and contentment. True
faith never complains.
II OF what do we complain?
1t is a common thing for Gods people
to complain of their lot in life. This was
the cause of Israels complaint. They
were not satisfied with the wilderness.
but desired to go back into the bondage
of Egypt-to feshpots. We complain
also of Gods providential dealings with
us. In times of sickness, in reverse or
fortune in bereavement, our complaints
are directed against God and His provi-
Dental dispensations. Nothing suits us.
Everything goes wrong. We are at outs
with God because His way is not our
way. In our hearts we sometimes think
that we could improve on the divine plan
and run the machinery Of our lives far
better than He who knows all things
and who does all things well.
No wonder God is displeased with such
sin. It is no wonder that His Judgments
have been visited upon His people who
have been guilty of complaining and
nurmuring against Him.
The history of Gods dealing with His
people In the past shows His determine
ton to punish those who complain
against Him and His providencies.
Let us beware Of murmuring against
God. The punishment is sure. God Wis
tied His judgments upon ancient Israel
for this sin of murmuring against I'm
in the wilderness. He win punish us
sooner or later.
