Tho ouly witnesses examined were y. W.

The commit tee will contiuuo tho investigation ou tho UHli or 11th. Henry Ward IJoecher luctured to a crowded house at Central mnsio hull. His subject was, "The moral uses of Luxury and Ueauty." He had proceeded in his talk about tweuty-tlvo minutes and when ho reached the pssugo about the dilllculties of rich meu iu attaining sal vation ho Itogun, "There is an impres sion ." At this point ho stopped, hesi tated, and appeared to stagger. Homo one in the audience, seeing ho was about to faint, gave the alarm and lie was helped off tho stage by a gentleman on the platform. 1'rof. Swing, who had in troduced Mr. lioccher, made a brief an nouncement that Mr. lleecher wus sud denly indisposed and moved that he bo excused for tho evening, a motion that was uuuuimouHly concurred iu. Medical aid was summoned at once and it was discovered that Mr. lSeeeher had becu weakened by stomach troubles and that his fainting was brought on by tho close atmosphere of the crowded hall. Appeals for aid in tho regions over flowed by tho Mississippi river continue to pour upon the secretary of war. Uov ernor (iriltenden, of Missouri, scuds a response to telegram t advising him thut additional rations should he sent to each of two points ho may name. Tho secre tary has referred the response to tlen. MotVcly, commissary general of sub sisteuco, directing him to give the noooa cary instructions t curry out sugges tions.

The aerretary directs Oovernor Collom to send lt-diort Wilson to Mound City and informs Lira that It!, 000 rations hava been scut to that point. The secretary also telegraphed Uenerals Macgrem and Hemingway, coinuiisioo rs at Memphis and Arkansas. , The levee at Alexandria, La., broke on morning of the Via.

Representative Harris has completed his report on the bill for construction of new war vessels. The report covers about eighty legal cap pages. It begins by reviowing the present utter inelll oiency.and says the;naval committee felt that tho time for wise and energetic action had come. The work of recon struction must begin and be pushed with vijror, in ordor that now vessels prop erly armed may be ready to till the places of vessels of tho presout navy as fast us they become unfit for further ser vice. It is recommended that thoy bo sold and the proceeds bo used in the construction of new vessels. Tho bill authorizing the construction of veasels of war for the navy and other purposes which this report is to accompany has been amended by the committee since published. A Memphis dispatch of tho 8th says: Tho river continues stationary, lleports of great suffering of the people in tho overflowed districts continue.. Iu reply to an inauirr of the secretary of war as to the number of destitute people in his state, Judge Mungrum, commissioner of Arkansas, replied he had information of about 20,000, but the number was daily increasing. Commissioner Hemming way, of Mississippi, in reply to tho samo interrogatory, named 18,000 as being in needy condition in Mississippi. By adding to these 5000 destitute in Tennes see, there is an aggregate of 43,000 per sons whope condition is such as to do maud prompt attention at tho hands of tho government. Tho change in tho weather bus increased suffering, and many lives must bo lost from exposure Oovernor Hawkins, of Tennessee, has appointed M. H James, at this point, as commissioner of Tonnesseo to receive and distribute supplies furnished by tho gov ornmont for the relief of inhabitants of this stato. Tho Chinese bill was before the senate 'I1, hours, and nearly four-fifths of the entire time wus consumed by Dawts, of Massachusetts, in making a character istic speech. His delivery was exclu sively solemn, uioasured, slow ana mo notonous, His arguments were mostly stale or manifestly absurd, und. as a natural oonsequonoo, after tho first fif teen minutes, very few people remained, either in the galleries or ou the Hour of the Henute to listen to him. When.how ever, about hulf-past 3 o'clock, Edmunds took tho floor, the senate chamber quickly assumod a different aspect. A score of senators who had boeu chatting aud smoking in the cloak rooms, hast ened to their seats, aud others, who wero writing letters ut tLeir desks, promptly bud aside their papers. A crowd of correspondents trooped into the reporters' gallery, and ovcry utter unco of tho famous Vermont senator re- nived undivided and interested atten tion. His forcible remarks were deliv ered in tho weighty but uuufTected stylo of which he is an acknowledged master, aud carried dismay into the pro-Chinoso ranks, for ho wss well ramemnerod as leader of tho opposition to tha 15 passen ger bill, and it wss quite generally ex pected that ho would exert his formid able iullucnco und groat ability against the pending moasuro. The cfloct, theio fore, of his announcing his hearty ad hesion to tho priueiple underlying this bill, and of tho brief but unanswer able argument with w hich ho favored re duction of the period of suspension to 10 years, and advocated the bill as an ex periment. He nevertheless clearly indi cated his conviction that the Chinose have already proved themselves to bo a highly injurious elemeut in our body politic. The l'acitld const senators would doubtless have succeeded in press ing the bill to a final vote, hud it not lieon for tho statement of Piatt, of Con necticut, that ho wished to speak on it, but that tho condition of his health would render it more agreeublo to him to speak ut some other timo. W. W. Duneuhower has received two letter from his sou, Johu Danonhower, of the Jeannette Arctic exploring expe dition. Tho first one is dated at Union, mouth of the Lena. Nov. 5. 1881. There is added a postscript dated Yakutsk, Dec. 17th. The tnn m tho rivor from Union to Yakutsk occupied 30 days aud was llliule on sleitges Willi uirgSi rmiiuucr mm horses. Liout.

Tho thermometer wasi'a) degrees below tro and it required all Lieut. Danenhowei's persuasive power to induce him to come back into tho hut. At Yakutsk, Lieut, Duneuhower says, he found a man who understood French and was taken to the governor, who treated lam with great kindness and consideration. He detailed a lieutenant with instructions to jjivo the wants of the p;rty special attention. They wero quartered at a Miiall hotel conducted on tiio AmeiiiM'i pluu. Lieut.

Hie eyes were large and brown, like those of an intelligent dog, and it was the pathetic language of those same brown eyes that aroused the compassion of on elderly, well-to-do farmer one morning. . . , Mr. Adann (the fanner) stood on a corner waiting for a car. ana boovo u the din and bustle of the crowd that hurried past he heard a shrill, boyish voice calling: "Htar! Herald! Hun! Dreadful mur der in tho sixth ward! Full account of thetragody! Star! Herald!" "Hello? Survey, soli any yet? broke in a second voice. Mr. A lams turned sharply around, and docidod that the first voice belonged to as miserable a specimen of rags and bonos as it had ever been bia bad fortune to see, and he waitod rather anxiously for an answer, which soon followed in a patient, uncomplaining tone: "Not yet, but the old womau down yonder gave me an apple from bor stall, so I 'm not so very hungry." 'Tore little chap," said the second voice, with real sympathy. "Times is hard on ye, that's a fact. Try that old fellow on the corner; country, I guess." Acting upon this advice, No. 1 approached and spoke up hopefully: "Htar! Herald! Sun! Take one, sir?" "Yes, let's have a Herald," said the old gentleman, diving into hie pocket for change. "What is your name, my boy?" , ' "Harvey,' sir; but the boys and the folks in our alley most generally calls me Htarvcy." "Storvey! Yes, yes," said tho old gen tloman, with another rapid survey of the rags and bonos. "Why doesnt your mothor mend your clothes, and how does it happen that you are so thin? Have vou boon ill?" "Sick, sir? Oh, no; I rather gooss it's because I don't git enough to eat, and mother, she's dead!" This lost in a hopeless tono.with a brush of his ragged sleeve across the brown eyes. "She died last winter, and there's uo ono to look after me now. Thauky, sir," as ho received tho change which the old gen tleman had all this time been holding in his hand. "Here ! don't go i" said that worthy individual, as tfie bundle of rags turned to leave. "How would you like to go home with me ?

He wus called Harvey, now, aud soon ceased to deservo his old appellation. Ho did willingly whatever was given him to do, but his chief delight was the sleek span of bays, "Kitty" and "Jos?," who occupied comfortablo quarters in the large barn. Ho watered, and fed, and groomed them untiringly, and when sitting beside his master m the now spriug wagou, ho was allowed to hold the reins, his cup of bliss was full. But one day trouble appeared in tho shapo of a rough looking fellow who ap plied to Mr. Adams for work. It was in the busy season, and ho was engaged without much attention to references. For a time all went well, but Mr. Adams soon discovered that his new hand had a trick of beating the horses, kicking the cows, and otherwise maltreating the ani mals about tho place, and being a hu mane man he dismissed him with a lec ture upon the wickedness and cruelty of his conduct. Then the furm-hand became abusivo, and swore with many oaths, that he would havo revenge. Mrs. Adams was alarmed and begged her husband to have the man arrested, but he ouly laughed at her fears, saying: "Such talk never amounted to anything." Ono lovely afternoon iu autumn, Har vey had a half holiday, and ho wandered along through tho woods, drinking in tho beauty around him, the gorgeous tints of the trees, tho purple and gold of tho wood flowers at his feet, and the dreamy blue of the sky that sbowod in patches overhead. Suddenly the sound of voices broke the stillness, and Harvey, peering through some bushes, saw tho man who had worked for Mr. Adams, and auother ruau, still mora rough and evil-looking, lounging upon the ground with their guns Is'sule them. They had built a fire, at which they were cooking some rabbits, and as Harvey looked, a doc, hounded through the undergrowth and crouched down beside it. Tho meu were discussing a plau which made Harvey's heart beat so violently as he listened, that he shivered with dread lest they should hear it and discover his retreat." They had decided to burn Mr. Adams' burn, in which was stored nil the fruits of his long summer's work, und the ex farm haud added: "Since he sots such store by his horses and cows, it will be a mercy to send them where they w ill never be 'abused' any more. There's Krindle and Daisy and lt.)se, besides the horses, that ought to keep the family in roasted meat for some time to come." The two wretches burst into a loud laugh at fiis sally, and at the same time the branch on which Harvey was leaning broke with a sharp crack. Even then he might have escaped, but the dog spring up with a low growl, and a moment after he was a prisoner. Boor Harvey! as he looked up into the cruel, scowling faces of his captors, felt that he could hope for little mercy from men who could deliberately plan to roast alive helpless animals. Indeed, the rougher cf the two men advised that Harvey should be put out of tne way at nee. "He's heard what we've had to say, and be U blab. 'Dead men, and yousg . i ones, too, Me'.l no tales,' " he added I grimly, eeeing that li componion losi- U"But we might swing for it," objeoted the form hand. "See here, young one, we'll let you go ecot free, on one condi tion. Yoo hold up your hand and swear like I show you, not to breathe a word of whot you've heard, or, by ! you 11 not live long enough to say your pray ers." He pickeil up hi gun aa he spoke, and held the muzzle against Harvey a Poor Harvey! A sickening feeling of fear and faintness seemod to stifle bis breothing and arrest bia very heart bcota. The cruel, determined faces of the men seemed like demons, and he looked around the lonely woods, then at the gun, and then he took the awfnl oath which the men bade him repeat, that he would not reveal anythiug thoy had ""lie was'at last allowed to go, and the farm hand called after him: "I say, yonng one, you can toll when the deed is done, and don't you forgot it. I want the old man to know who bis good luck comes from," and he added to his companion, "No danger of his giv ing us away, he'e got no more pluck than n chicken, and ho's scar'tmoit to death." When Harvey reached home, supper was laid in the large kitohen. Mollie.the "help," was turning llannel cakos, Mrs. Adams was pouring the tea, and Mr. Adams turned from the sink, where he had been washing his hands, anil Baid with a smile: "Well, Harvey, my lad, did you have a good time? Had a nice walk, eh?" "Yes, sir, no sir, part of tho time," stammered poor Harvey, with such a miserable face that the good farmer stared in astonishment, and Mrs. Adams, noting his pale face and trembling limbs exclaimed: ' "Bless the boy! he looks fit to drop! What's the matter child?" "Nothinr." sobbed Harvey. and burst ing into tears he rushed away from them all, up to his own littlo room nuuor tuo eaves. Pretty soon Mrs. Adams bustled np n-iili a hnwl of hot tea and souio nicely buttered toast, and when she found that he could not eat. sho bathed his aching head, tucked him into bed, and left a motherly kiss npon bis cneoK. That kiss made Harvey feel ten times more miserable than before. How kind they wore to him! How conld ho let them be wronged out of so much of their hard-earned property? Then the horses! Ah, that was tho bitterest of all!

The moonlight foil broadly upon it. nau not Mis. Adams Baid that- God hated liars, and had ho not solemnly sworn to keep silence?" Harvey never forgot tho terrible hour thut followed. Ho heard tho family re tire, and waited fearfully for any sound ... ... . - i I.. i .i outside. At lasi no sneii, aim piaji.-u earnestly that God would show him somo way out of his (rouble. Then ho went to 'tho window and looked out at the great baru. Suddenly a thought flashed into his mind. He stolo softly down stairs, seizod the tin horn which Mrs. Adams nam! to cull her husband to dinner, and letting himself out, ran swiftly across the moonlit space between me nouso aiu 109 barn. Ho Ktnnnnd a moment to think, and then climbed up over the mows and hid himself in a nook under tne ratters. One hour passed! two! Harvey's cour aire seemed to ooze out at bis finger tips. If they came thev would surely kill him, and then Ah I what was that? A stealthy tread outside, and the groat doors creaked softly as they were shoved apart, then a whisper which seemed to freeze Harvey '6 blood: "Here! pour on plenty of ile, and " Toot! toot! tooooot! "It's that devil's brat?" exclaimed one of the men with a furious oath. "Help me find him quick, or we shall have tho u lighbors on us." loot! tooooot! toot! toot! went the old h rn. Bow! wow! wow! came from the dt j in his kennel, and tho chickens on their roosts near, by i?et up a tremendous cackle. Tooooot! tooooot! toot! The two ruf fians seeing that their game was np, rushed for tho door, but , were met by Mr. Adams and a crowd of tho neigh bors, who, half dressed, had rushed out to discover tho canso of the commotion. Well, "Kitty" and "Joss" were saved, the men wero sent to prison, and to-day Harvey writes his name, Harvey Adams, with a flourish, and calls the farmer and his wife, father and mother. He goes to school, and his teacher assures his proud parents that ho is a fino sdiolar and will be sure to make his mark one of these days. A Mrert Car I).appoli tui?nt. A lady alighting from a street-car met an acquaintance who said to her: "You appear to bo excited?" "S I am. I had to stand np tho whole way.'' "Did nobody offer you a seat?" "Yes. ono man; but I declined it; thinking he would urgo me to accept." "And he didn't?" "No; the beast went on reading and never looked np again. Bah ! if there's anythiug I bate it's hoggishness in 0 horx'-ear." A Ivicinaw man pleaded guilty to driving his horse faster than six miles an hour, and paid S-Vfine. That puts us in mind of another Saginaw man who drove what ho considered a fast horse, and one day he got a friend to complain on him for fast driving, aud then pleaded guilty and paid the fine. Being asked why he did that, he said it would add $100 to' the value of the horse, to have it reported that he was arrested for fast driving. "But why did you plead gnilty?" "Well, the fact 11 I was afraid it couldn't be proved by anybody." Mr. Hendricks confides to a reporter that "I am done with polit'ra forever." Seems as if we had heard Thomas make such a remark aa that before. EYE & EAIt LNFIlUlARt aJtr SANITARIUM, OR HOME FOR THE SlCi MMMloaa Hood bet. Patter mmt WM .. ' atk I'artlMMl, Or. Pr.
