Er this letter reachea you the Forty-Ninth Congress will hsve ex pired, and I had as well write its obituary a few hours In advance of Its demise. M my "criticisms aud slurs and fllogs have been leytdcd at it during the two brief year of Its existence, and many attempts have been made to abow that it has an unworthy record. But as a matter of fact It makes a much better ahowlng than any recent Congress has done, espe cially when it la remembered that it was Democratic in ouo branch and Republican In the other, aud conse quently urn-quipped for harmonious and rapid progress. One reason that It was constantly derided and reviled as a failure was Decause extravagant promises were made for It and more Was expected than could be accomplhhod, where one House was under the control ot a vigorous aud alert opposition. Tne Forty-Seventh Congress waa Rtpuh- ican In both branches, and vet it did nothing that la worthy of mention, while tbe llltlu that it did was done very badly. Tbe Forty-Ninth has enacted a hw providing for the PnaldMtlaJ uccessioD ; u law for silver certifi es te : a l w reduciiiL' the feo for money orders ; a law forfeiting un earned land grants and restor rig aliout seventy-five millimi acrtM to the public domain open for actual aet- tten fa hw in the interest of the merchant marino ; a Uw providing for a valuable addition to the Navy , a law for a Natioiiul Library ; a law allotiog land? in severalty to the In diana ; the Interstate Commerce law; a law establhhinr; arbitration In labor controversies; and It has redeem n trude dollars and extended the freo delivery system. While then- Is llfei here is bope,nd while I am writing the Forty-Ninth session hu- three more hours to live. It is frantic in its efforts to in tke the most of this brief period of grace,nd bills are rushing through rapidly. It l-i hoped and expected thut among them will he the one changing Inau guration dy from the bleak, windy 4th ol Murch to the soft balmy day that the 30th of April brings. At thh moment tho reform measure has not passed. There have been night sessions in b th ends of tbe Capitol during the week and lively scenes have occurred In the House through the wild efforts of member wanting little bills through to catch the Speaker's eye. Ii is amu&ing and oven pathetic to see the eagerness with which mem bers stand In their places after morn ing prayer and wait forSpeaker Cr lisle to finibh laying before the Hou-e the documents and personal requests that accumulate on his desk. When he Is through and his eye is supposed to be abroad in thw House, the anx ious members flourish hits of paper alo(t in order fto attract hijjglance, while occasionally one impatient man calls "Mr. Speaker," before the prop er time, and then half a hundred others shout "Mr. Speaker," "Mr. Speaker," all at once. The Speaker is Imperturable and his voice is always calm and steady, no matter bow exciting his surround ings. At lat evening's session ti ore of members rushed into the Eights ALBANY, OREGON, ipacu in front of the clerk's dek,uud waiving tiitdr bills wildly in tho air, vociferously ilainfed recognlitoo.The coufuilon on the floor, added to tbe hues of conversation In the gallerie, which were tilled to their utmost ca pacity, was so grent for a time lht( busiueaa had to be aUHpendud, and II wan only by loud rappitigs of the gavel and repeated appeals to the merattera to preserve the proprieties, nevdstfHl by the efforts of the S'Tg-imt-at-Arms and his deputies, that tbe Speaker succeeded In restoring com pare 11 vo order. The President Is overwhelmed with work, and remains at hta desk during a greater portion of tbe night. These an tho busiest days of tb year, If not of his whole term. Con. greaa must adjourn at noon to-day, and any bills In his bands undisposed of at that time must fall. For the (mat fw d-tya he baa had more than a hundred bills lying before him moat of tho time, fr as fast as ho could dlsprwe of them others were brought In. Many of them require close ex. aminatlon which consumes much time. Three important incidents have oc. curred to keep alive the intereat in tbe ('resident's nomination of Jame Ma Trotter, of Hyde Park,lfaas.,to be Recorder of Deeds In the place of tbe eolored appointee from Albany, recent- ly rejected by the Senate. First, he arrived here from Boston, then his nomination was acted upon adverse ly, and he was appointed, a little later, by tho present incumbent, Deputy Recorder of Deeds,aJ! on tbe same day. TKtXY HA1I). The Pur'.land World makes tho fol lowing sensible tf marks : If it H true, as stated by Waahing. ton correspondents aad circulated by the uwepere, that President Cleve land is taking rsvenge on Democratic Congressmen who saw fit to override bis veto by vetoing aud otherwise iotetfer lag with bids introduced by them, then be it playing bthy to srt extent we ceo- not think poeiblin th d-rving head of a gteat nation ; a nation, the ground plan of wbcee exiteoo is freedom of thought, word and action. But the WorM not credit the rumora.

Frasier of Rat.dolph.Obio, says that s small smount cf the oil of iunaraoD applied with a sirs, or lioy brush, is tbe tery best remedy for bee stings. It will blister tkeskiu, but will destroy the poison. A foolish woman at Butler, Q., buried $1 10 in bills in the v oodvard for sate keeping, and when she dug them up f.r use, found that they had been so bsdly aaten by Wocdlioe aa to render them almost lieyond rrooguitioo.

Coal oil should be cheap : Tits world now uses forty thousand barrels of coal oil daily, and America has enough on hand to keep up the supply for three hundred years. The newspapers of the country have now had their say about Beecher. Remember this fact,the U, S. has only had one Beecher. A witness in the Goldensen murder case in San Francisco, was fined $500 for refus ing to answer a question asked him in ref erence to his brother's (the murder's) sanity. A Salem paper says that city had better look out or Kiofeue will get ahead of it in building matters. Both of those cities had better look out or Albany will soon leave them in the distance.

The following waa related by a well knowo lawyer In Portland, who, baa lately returned from an eastern trip. While tiaveltng through the northeast part of lows, or. his return Journey to Oregon, a hurley, red-faced English man about t0 years of age.g t 00 the train. He was a Jolly, fleasant man, and he and onr Portland friend foil Into talking-, lie aald be was one of tne many English, who had come to Iowa under the auspices cf the Close brothers ; thst he had a large family of boys and girls growing up around him, and waa well satisfied with his prospects. After a long and pleasant talk, dinner was announced. The Englishman asked tor some beer with his dfoner. Tbe waiter remind ed him that they were In prohibition Iowa and coutd not get any. Tbe Buntie4ttaaeM perslsteu, He coUKl ana would have some. Tbe waiter stead ily refused, aod left him. Our Port land friend said, "How Is it, yon liv ing In lows, ere trying to get in this fashion ?" The English answered : "Tbe truth Is I like a glare of beer ss well aa ev r I did and I thought I might get some on the train, aa I hoard eucb things were done ; out I suppose It ts all right, certainly there seems none to be had." The Portlunder aald : "Why do yon slay in Iowa, a prohibition State, If you want your beer all the time V The Englishman replied ; "Wnyslr, I woutd not move out of s prohibi tion Into a liquor State if yen would offer me a farm free. That sounds strange, dees It not ? Well Til toll you. When the prohibition campaign came on, fought It all I knew how, and put some money Into the fight, too. I thought the place would not be worth living In unless I could get my beer aa usual. Why, sir, we had a barrel on tnu iu tbe cellar ever since we came to this country untlj this law came into force. But now we hnve had two or three years of prohibition, I've this to say, that if It took three-fourths of my farm to keep Iowa prohibition, three-fourths of my farm would go. Why, do you say ? For this reason, sir. I told you I had both boys and girls growing up around me and there isn't n lounging,driok Ids place within tweuty miles of us my boys and my neighbor's boya, either stay at home evenings, or 1 they gi out, wo know they are in safe places and when my girls get mar ried, the cbatieea are they will get buba' d brave as my boya are So that's the reason why I had rather go without my beer for the rest of mv life than have my boys run chances of perdition from saloons." r w Here the temperance talk ended but tho Portland lawyer made a note of It, and told it at Sdetn.and add he would like it told everywhere. He added, that as far as he could see prohibition prohibited In Iowa,let the liquor men talk as they please. THE POWER OF LETTERS. The Illinois W. 0. T.

' 1v At a late convention of prison auer- intendeuts in New York, Dr. T. C.
