The Senate had under consideration the I Blslr bill, but as usual, reached sua conelu. w sioa. Messrs. Blair and Reran had rather a heated discussion over the third ques- tion, in which the farmer was decidedly I m I worsted. Ex justlce of the Supreme I Court, Strong, expressss the opinion that the bill is unconstitutional. Senator Hoar has Introduced a service ..... peasion bill, which Is the mast radical measure of the kind yet presented,provld- Ing aa It does that all officers and enlisted I I men who served In the army, navy or ma-1 rine corps, including regulars and voiun- teer. at any time during the late civil war, hall be entitled to a pension of one cent for each day", service, in addition to any pension granted for disability. This, in face of the fact that $75000 will be spent on pensions this v ear .and the further fact that the House Committee calls lor $30,000,000 more lor the same purpose oext ear. Comment Is unnecessary. Both the Senate and the House have paascd the bill approprlatlna the sum ol $585000 to establish agricultural colleges throughout the country. Owing to the absence from sickness.of Speaker Carlisle aad Mr. Mills, who has succeeded Mr. Morrison as the democratic leader of the House, the proceedings ol thst body were less Interesting than usual the past week. Half a day was consumed in oaatfucting consideration of the bill in v.M.iaviiii.M Ol IMC Will III troduced by Mr. Wilkin., of Ohio, to in- j.i-.-i 1 , ... I crease National bank circulation, and the I s s . nuance 01 tne same dsf waa- devoted to speech making over the acceptance of pictures of the three Speakers of the House furnished by Massachusetts, whose counterfeit presentments have been added to the historical portrait gallery that graces the south wing of the Capitol. The prin cipal orators were W. P. C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and ex-Gov. Long.of Massa chusetts, and a great crowd packed the floor and galleries to hear their eloquent utterances. Another day of the valuable time of the House was wasted over the consideration of the Carlisle-Thobe contest. For some unknown reason, thirtv-five democrats 1 ' 1 were absent In New York, and the repub- u .. . I 1 1 l 1 1 1 a suiirn v ret 11 s.i rn vnta 1 nit rsivir ing the wheels of the House. But Mr. Crisp, chairman of the committee on elec tions, announces his determination not to permit the transaction of other business until this contest is settled. The tariff reformers have won the first preliminary skirmish in the Ways and Means committee. Mr. McKinley,of Ohio, who shares with Reed, of Maine, the re. publican leadership of the House, moved to take up his bill to repeal the tobacco tax, but the democratic majority refused to discuss sny specific tax reduction bill proposing to consider that class of bills oaly ia connection with the general tariff reduction bill. This resolution was passed by a strict party vote 5 to 4. Report has it that Assistant Secretary Muldrow is to be made Commissioner of the General Land Office. This would be a promotion in one sense, but not in an other ; tie salary is five hundred dollars less than that now received by the Secre tary, but he would have an advantage in dispensing patranag e.which he has not the power to do in his present position. The Democrat's friend, Mr. G., hands the following, clipped from an Eastern pa per.to us,as a very peculiar incident : MCon- neaut, Pa. The Commissioners of Craw ford county were called upon to pay a pecu liar claim against the county recently. The law compels the payment of a dox tax in the county, and in case of the killing of sheep by dogs the county is bound to pay the owner of the sheep the amount of dam age he has sustained from sheep killing dogs. One of the leading farmers of this township had a dog for which he paid the tax assessed on thcanimal, thus obtaining the right to keep mm tor tne year. A few nights ago the farmer heard a great commotion among his sheep , and, hurrying to the enclosure where they were kept,found seven of them dead and one dying, with the farmer's own dog tearing at its throat. He made short Work of the dog, shooting it dead as soon as he could get his gun I he next day the farmer went to Mendville and put in a bill against the county tor the eight sheep his dog had killed. "It was my own dog that did the damage, 1 know," he argued before the Board of Commissloners'but I had paid tax to the county on him and had a right to own him . If he had killed some other man's sheen the county would have paid for them. He has killed mine,and the coun ty Is bound to pay me the same as it would have paid my neighbor if my dog had killed his sheep." The Commissioners were at first Inclined to laugh off the novel clnlm.but when several lawyers agreed that the farm er's claim had a good chance of being sus tained at law, the Commissioners restrained their mirth and paid for the sheep." g William Dean Howell' facile pen and wit have free play in several places ia Harper's Magazine for r ebruary, but their product, under tne titieot & Mtrae a wise sojourn OBITUARY.

It seemed to be the great aim of his life to make his children comfortable and happy. In 1878 he celebrated his golden wedding, and at the time of hie death left Aunt Clara, the faithful partner of his sixty years af married life, surviv ing him. Mr. Brown was partially, and at the end totally blind for the last twenty odd years of his life, which detracted much from his social enjoyment.

My daughter, ten years old, was afflict ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During the last two years she never saw light of any kind. Physicians of the highest etanding exerted their skill, but with no Sermanent success. On the recommen atton of a friend I purchased a bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which my daughter commenced taking. Before she hadused the third bottle her wght was restored. Her cure is complete. W.
