The amount of work done has been creditable, tni the character of it unusually Impor tant. Overshadowing In Importance other matters, was the hostility shown bykthe House to land-grant railroads, through the most unanimous adoption of the Holman resolution, which Is comprehensive measure for restoring to the public domain all those fast tracts of land donated to railroad , la eases where the roads have not the conditions of the grant. The jority vote was overwhelming, 261 to 18, and may be accepted as the de deration of a fixed policy for the fu ture. It dates the failure of a gigan tic scheme to plunder the govern ment and signifies the restoration of many millions of acres of valuable land to the rightful ownership. Mr. llol mon made this subject a special study last summer and the resolution to based upon his personal observation. Another movement in the direction of reform, was a blow struck at ex- members of Coo grass who have abus ed fthe privileges of the floor for lob bying; purposes. Mr. Anderson of Ksnsas offered a resolution requiring ex-members before being admitted to the ball floor, to obtain from the Speaker an order which shall bejs- sued only by the ex-member declsr- Ing he le net Interested In any corpo ration or person having a pecuniary nterest In the defeat or passage of a measuro before Congress or the com- ralttoes, and pledging thst while the House Is in session he will net com municate with any person having an uteres! In legislation. Violating this pledge the ex-member will forever bo deprived of the pri v lieges of the floor, At times the chamber swarms with ox. members some of whom hsve not been in Congress for years. Others were members of the forty seventh Congress, and nearlj all of them are obbylau ; or ''attorneys" for this or tbstspocial Interest sugar, whisky, claims, and Jobs great and smsll. Hay leg learned the ways of legisla tion la former years, they eoavlnee clients of the vslae ef their rvlnr on the floor, and the Impudence ef this class is appalling. I Nothing short of an Iron-dad oatn will cure this evil, of which every honest Congress man has cause to complain. Speaking of an iron -clad oath re minds me thst one ef the first acta of the House of Representatives this week was to ropeal the 'iron-dad" oath. As the confederate record of a msn In no way disqualifies him for service as a legislator, It was too ab surd to retain on the status books two sets of oaths, one designed to keep out of office persons who had engag ed lo rebellion, and the ether framed expressly to let them In. Mr. Cox of New York spoke lengthily In favor of the movements as one in acoerd with the times ; but the Mil would have come with more grace from the republican side of the aisle. In thje work iog of the amended Sen ate rules which went into operation for the first time Mondsy, there has been a little friction. Senators havo not adjusted themselves readily to the new order. One of the rules Is thst when a bill on the calender has once been called and passed over It eball not be called again until the calendar has been gone through. Certain Sen ators among them,Messers Logan and Blair, who were sponsors, for some on the first called measures, were not lo the Senate at the , time, and seemed much thwarted at not being able to give reasons for the faith that prompt ed them to ask the Senate to pass their bills. Senators revel now in the luxury of a seclusion hitherto not enjoyed. The floor of the chamber Is visited by very few of the persons who have heretofore trained admis sion as the secretaries of Senators. Mr. Edmunds is the draughtsman of the stringent rule paoblbltlng en trance to all but bona fide secretaries, and it Is said he aimed It ax persons who In the guise of newspaper corres pondents used their cards of admis sion to engage in lobbying. The Senate has been considering a number of important measures dur ing the week and has further discus sed the pork question. The House has passed some rather unimportant bills. Committees have discussed pensions, the currency, land grants inter-state cemroerce and territorial boundaries. Indications are that the democrat ic leaders propose to move very slowly and cautiously in formulating tariff legislation. They do not think the Senate would pass, or the Presl- dent'approve any measure , -materi ally reducing existing duties. There fore they want to steer between two points of danger ; not alarming the JCast ncr discouraging ihe West They realize the narrowness of this channel, but they trust the akin of their pilots. Raws is naisr, Five hanlred vessels at a tins save fouad protection in tbo harbor of Ports mo.im, w. u.

Th. following clipped from Mtcbi gsn paper is a graphic sec ntnt of s fight with robbers ia that stsbn, which wilt be of particular interest to many in this county, as Garret K. Cm eon Is a brother of Mr. G. W. Crnson, of Leb soon, and hss friends in various parts of tbe county : "No little excitement and consterna tion was produced in this village Thurs day morning by the rapid spread of tbe news that on the previous night a cou ple of masked men bad made a dasper ate attempt to rob Garret K. Crusoe, Treasurer of Lafayette township, this county. Sheriff Peer, accompanied by deputies Johnson and Wtllougbby, re paired to the house of Mr. Wiener, dis tant about two and a bslf mile, from Ui wd, Werner and his brother being then ia bed at tbe bouse of their broth er in-law, Win. Chiug, only a short d Uu no from Wisner's, where they ar rived about three o'clock yesterday morning, snd asked to be admitted. Sheriff Peat detailed Johnson and Will onghby lo remain at Wisner's to see that the Warn re did not escape, while he preoeeded to Mr. Crusoa's to asosr taia if the sffsir was as it had bean re ported to him. It seems that about 7 o'clock Wedoeedsy evening a rap was heard at Mr. Crusoa's door, snd before aayoae bad time to answer the sum moos, two mssked men opened the door and walked in. Mr. Crnson and his family seemed to comprehend tbe situation at once, and nerved them selves for the desperate hand-to-hand struggle which f olio wed. Mr. C, who has tost tbe use of one eye and is troubl ed with a cancer besides, grappled the desperadoes snd proved almost a match for both of them. His two little sons, aged respectively about 11 and 14 years, also did heroic work ia aiding their father in his encounter with these masked villains, The oldest lad seised a dub and dealt one of them a vigor ous blow on the left cheek, while the younger one hit him with a chair. Finally Mr. Cruson reached out and seizing one of their masks, tore it from the face of the wearer, revealing his identity. Prior to this, however, one v of the would-be robbers fired at Mr. Gnisou, the ball entering his right shoulder, inflteting a painful snd ugly wound, the result of which is unknown st this writing. Upon the mask being stripped frcta one of them, they quick ly put gat tbe light and retreated. Meanwhile Mrs. Cruson began ringing the dinner bell and calling for help. This at once attracted W. B. Rsbertson, s near neighbor) who hastened to tbe scene. He met a horse in tbe road dashing along at full speed, drawing an empty eutter, and this proved to be the conveyance of the masked desperadoes, who, in their hurried flight, were upset in the ditch, when the horse run away. Geo. Flayler, another neighbor, met two men in the road. They were carry ing in their arms a cushion, a buffalo robe, whip, etc Tbsy asked about the horse and passed on. Sheriff Peet hastened back to Wis ner's, when he snd deputies Johnson aad Willoughby prooeewed to, Mr. dung's where the Warners were taken Into custody here about noon. Mr. Cruson is a brother of Ben. and John Cruson, aad brother-in-law of A. Slaughter and Obas. Fowler, who live in this vicinity. Another item states that Mr. Cruson will probably not recover. When s youth begins to use hair oil, to east anxious glances at the looking glass, to get into the habit of feeling his upper lip, when his shirt snd collars do not please him unless thsy are done up at the laundry .when he takes delight in displaying half an inch of cuff out side of his eoatsleeves, and drops into the druggist's evenings to purchase pink perfumed losengers, yon msy set it down ss almost certain that love's young dream has begun, snd there is s young lady somewhere who is probably as much in a flutter most of the time as he is himself. TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT. XDITSO BT THS Chriiliti Temperiflee tuiou f '! MISS WILLKI aids:m roMiKiK. At the Tenth Annual Meeting at Detroit, Mich., October 9 let to Noveinljer 4lh,1883.

Similar institutions should be multiplied, under tbe care of our societies, in sll the leading cities. TOBXOOO. One of the most encouraging pointers that has this year msrked ths growth of publio sentiment against poison ha bits, is tbe law enacted in conservative New Jersey making it a penal offense to sell cigarettes to boys. Tbe Chics go free Kindergarten As sociation, farm. Robert Fowler, presi dent, sad Mies Matilda Ross, priori pal,) established by leading workers and friends of the W. C. T. U., has been an education ia methods to all who were oognitant of its marvelous success. Soventeen hundred little children from beclouded homes have here hsd nature to confirm the good snd fight tbe evil of nature at the earliest moment practice, ble. Tbe result in tbe little one. aad its blessed reflex in their homes bas beea wonderful to see. Forty teacher have also been under training. Ia Han Francisco, I bad the great good fortune to meet Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, not only in her famous Bible class, but also to talk of her best beloved work tbe kindergarten. So profoundly do I be- ieve in this system ss being next to heredity and hygienethe base of our temperance pyramid, that I urged eur W. C. T. U. in San Francisco to es tablish a kindergarten, which under tbe management of Miss Annie Geary, is rapidly justifying its raison d'etre as the beat exponent of ethical culture in the training of the schools. As Mrs. Cooper says : "Tbe kindergarten is a character builder. Its primal aim is s self-government. It is the great corner stone for prevention. It recognizes the three-fold nature of tbe little one as a child of nature, a child of man, a child of God. Self-government ir the foun dation stone on which the republic w rests. But lack of self-control in mas ses eannos breed prosperity, while lack of self-control in the indtvidusl breeds destruction." She adds : "If only we stand in tbe attitude of service, the service comes. We all have a broad place in this age if we are ready to fill it." Dear Sisters : Let us take up the little child, too young for tbe temper ance school, but not too young to team bad habits, .nd as we lead him on we shall perceive, as shepherds always do, that "where tbe lambs go the flocks will folio tbs ABeuTiax or petticoats. It would appear that the doctrines of woman's emancipation from the trammels of feminino dress, promulga ted some time ago with considerable vigor by strong minded ladies in the United States, have recently been en thasiastioaliy adopted by an sasociation of German matrons snd maidens,which, under the significant title of "Clothing League for the Abolition of Petticoats," recently held its first publio meeting in a concert room of the Brunnen strasse, Berlin. A Chairwoman having been sleeted, the proceedings were opened by an eloqnent sfieecb netting forth the inconveniences and disadvantages from a sanitary point ef viow, of the flowing garments hitherto deemed appropriate wear for civilised fsmaLs. This dis course pronounced it to be the sscted duty of every member of tbo association to discard, with the utmost promptitude, such objectionable raiment, typical of all the disabilities wrongfully ascribed te woman by her oppressor, man, and to assume in its stead "a dualisttc form of oovering for the legs as well as for the arms." This daring program of aotion wss hailed with acclamation of approval by all present save one, FiBu Peters, who courageously stood up for the denounced pettiooat, upon the ground that it was far more becom ing than trousers to members of the female sex. Her protesting voice,how ever, was drowned in a storm of indig nant clamor, and a resolution embody ing the sentiments previously enuntia ted by ths Chairwoman was passed by an overwhelming majority of the fair leaguers. oe .
