Meredith vs. Cranberry Iron and Coal Company. j . Plaintiff was a hand engaged an a train of two small cars, each carry ing a cord of wood, in trans porting wood for the defendant. The train ran by its! own weight down a grade, and its speed was controlled by brakes, Tone man being on each car. A stick of wood would sometimes elide from its - place, and if the tram was not mov ing rapidly it could be caught and replaced without danger; but if mov ing rapidly, to catch it was danger ous. Other wood previously hauled had been piled near the track, j On this occasion the train was moving rapidly, a stick began to slide off the car, plaintiff tried to catch it, one end Btruok the wood (piled oti the side of the track and the other! end knocked plaintiff off, and he suffered the damage complained of. Plain tiff bad frequently been warned against letting the car move rapidly. Plaintiff contended that the defend ant was negligent in having the wood piled so-near the j traak. The Superior Court Judge charged the jury that "If a stick of wood slipp ing from the car struck, the wood so negligently placed and was hurled against the plaintiff and so caused the injury, the injury would be the result of negligence of defendant.? Held, That under the facts pre sented 'in evidence this charge did uot sufficiently direct the attention 1 of the jury to the aspect of the case: that plaintiff was himself negligent in lulling toe tram run fast, and in seeking to catch the stick of wood when the tram was movinir raoidlv.

The Methodists of South Car olina propose to build an "editotial par sonage," to be located at the place of pub lication of the Southern ChritUan Advocate. and to be occupied by the preacher who is appointed to edit that paper. Richmond Advocate. It giv.es food for sad reflection to recall the instances' history furnishes of continents lost to Christ through these ' oc casions of stumbling" which came by His professed disciples. The scents of the missionary labors of Paul and the other a post k 8 in Asia, and the northern part of the continent of Africa, all of which terri tory became Christianized in the first six centunes of the Christian era, were after wards totally lost to Christianity, and again became enveloped in the darkness of pa ganism or Mabommedanism By the thir teenth and fourteenth centuries of this era China had so far been evangelized by the Nestorlans that it wa as near Christian as France or Italy now is, professing Chris tians being found in the very court of the Emperor. . But it was so completely wiped out "as when a man wipeth a dish, turn ing it upside down. N O. Presbyterian. - Many years i ago 1 we heard a sermon from the Rev. James D. Coulling.a Methodist preacher Of decided ability. In the course of the sermon Mr. Coulllns told several pointed and pertinent anecdotes in illustration of his sublect. Upon leaving the church, we walked a little way with a Presbyterian lady of considerable intelli gence and some culture. We were accom panied by an elderly gentleman of uncom mon sagacity and wide reading. The lady criticised the sermon severely. Said she: 1 don t like to bear anecdotes from the pulpit. I do not call that preaching I want to bear a preacher reason. There was a slight pause. w ben our tlderly friend said very quietly: '-A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves. The Preacher that told that anecdote is supposed to have known how to preach, aud He was very much given to telling anecdotes." This remark closed the discussion. Richmond Religion Ueraia.

It would not do for the friends of tbe Administration to assert that thij was an attempt on the part of tbe Presi dent and bis friends to modify, revise, or comet the tariff No such intent on tbe part of the President could be gathered from bis message. It had been received every where, at home and abroad, as an attack, not on a defec tive tariff, not to remedy inconsistencies, but to destroy the protective system The President himself had spoken of that sys tem as vicious, inequitable and illogical. His former Secretary of tbe Treasury had spoken of it as a brutal method. The defen ders of tbe message la tne senate and else where bad spoken in terms of approbnam. coulempt,deleststioa, cot of the tariff or of its inconsistencies or incongruities, but of tne protective system. It was therefore ua- oer stood (outaiue or tne senate cnamoer) to be an attack on the system which protec ted American labor and American manu factures against competition with foreign labor and foreign capital. The motion to refer the message went over without action. Other bills reported from Com mit ecs and placed on the calendar, in cluding tbo House bill for the purchase of the sword of Gen. James Shields. Tbe Senate, after a brief consideration of the Undervaluation bill, beard brief eulogies upon late Representative Maffett, of Michigia.aud adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The House wtnt into Committee of the Whole for tbe consideration of Senate amendments to the Urgent Deficiency bill. At ur several amendments had been dis posed of, some concurred in and others re jected, a discussion arose upon that strik ing out the clause (inserted in the House on motion or Mr u fieui, oi Missouri.) di recting the Public Printer to rigidly en force the eight hour law. The Committee on Appropriations recommend non-concurrence. - Mr. McComas said that while as a gen eral thing be was opposed to reiterating the existing law, he was in favor of the clause because the Public fnnter deserved tne censure which was contained in it. Of the 2062 employes of his office. 664 were, re quired, in open defiance of the express terms or law, to work, ten, eleven and twelve hours. Congress should take hold of the abuse and insist on the law being en forced. Mr. Burns said he bad never bsfore heard it intimated that the Public Printer had violated the eight-hour law. There was do violation of that law in permitting a man to work as many hours as he might desire, and tbe speech of the gentleman was a gratuitous attack upon the Public Printer. Mr. O'Neill suggested that his colleague did not know What the eight-hour law was intended for. Mr. Burns replied that bis idea of the law was that when a man was to be paid for a day's work he was to be paid for eight hours work. The law was not to be con strued as stopping a poor dtvil from work ing wben it was necessary for nim to work to support his wife and children. Mr U'Heill declared that if the eight hour law was not passed to set a good ex ample, that would be followed in private business, its passage was a piece of bvno crisy to play upon the working classes. It was passed in tbe hope that thousands and thousands of idle men would be absorbed in the ranks of industry. That was the spirit of the law The Public Printer violated it in the Bureau of En glaring and Printing. ine senate amendment as non con curred in, and pending further considera - tion the committee rose and the House ad journed. SENATE. Washington, March 16 Mr. Hale in troduced a bill authorizing the President to appoint and retire John' C. Fremont as Msjor General He brkfly alluded to Gen Fremnnl'a nminrnt nrirwi In military and civil life, and expressed the belief that every senator wno nao known nim could have nothing but regard and affection for him.

House calendar. I The House finished the consideration of the Senate amendments to the Urgent Da flciency bill - and incorporated a, new amendment appropriating $927,000 to re imburse Texas for expenses -of ! repelling invasion and Buffeting Indian hostilities. ! In speaking to one of the amendments, Itfr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, branched off to the subject of the tariff, and read a memorial addressed to the Committee on Ways and Means, signed . by the j working men and women in a New Jersey! pottery, staring that they note' with alarm that a bill has been presented to that - Committee which will : greatly reduce the duty on pottery, and lead to a ruinous reduction, of their wages. - These pe titions, said.

J I The House insisted upon retaining tbe clause appropriating $100,000 for the pur pose of lengthening the dry dock at Brook lyn Navy Yard, and Messrs, Burnes, Say res and McComas were appointed conferees. Half a dozen bills of a private character were passed. " i Tbe House then, at 5 o'clock, took a re cess until 7 SO, the evening session being for the consideration Of pension bills. j At the evening session tbirty-five pension bills were passed, and at 10.30 the House adjourned until to-morrow. J Washington." March 17. Senate not ia session. - . i HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Bills were passed increasing to fifty dol lars per month the pensions of the widows of Rear Admirals Wyman and Welles. Bill were reported from committees and placed on the calendar as follows': ! By Mr..Cri8p, from the Committee on Commerce,' to authorize .the construction of a bridge across the Tennessee liver near Decatur. i t I By Mr. Barry, of Mississippi, from the Committee on Pensions, granting pensions to burvivora of the Indian wars between 1833 and 1842. I j i B. Mr. Peters, of Kansas, from the Committee on Post Offices, (adversely) a resolu: L,u requesting tbe Postmaster Gen eral to return to the use of the terra-cotta colored two cent stamp. ! Tbe regular order being demanded, Mr O'Neill, of Missouri, from tbe Committee on Labor, called up the resolution assign ing March 20th and 21st, April 1 18th and May loin, for consideration of labor bills. He said that the Labor Committee bad been allowed but seven minutes during the entire session of the 1 preceding ! Congress, and Labor bills bad been throttled. I Mr. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, inouired if it had not been the fault of the so-calltd Steering committee? ! j Mr. O Neill replied that it had been tbe fault of tbe House. It had "side-tracked" the committee by refusing to vote a Quo rum wben an effort was made to get up its bills. i I Mr. Mills said that the resolution ought to make an exception for approDriation and revenue bills. ' Mr. O'Neill replied that the cause of la bor was as important as either of those matters j i Mr. Holman also appealed to the gentle man to provide that the order sbou.d not interfere with bills to secure public land to actual settlers. t Mr. O'Neill If the gentleman will in troduce these bills and refer them to tbe Labor Committee we will report them back in five minutes. Laughter, He then re fused to allow any! interference with the order. ! i Mr. Cox, of New York, could not say that the gentlemen who were anxious to secure action upon appropriation and revenue bilis bad been derelict, but here was a commit tee having charge of ; the interests of all of our people. It was not fairly treated during tbe last session and was entitled to at least four days now. It was not a ques tion of the merits of the bill. He believed that the principal work of this Congress had been for the South and West, and had not tended to help people and laborers in large cities. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, believed that the proposition contained in the resolution to allow each speaker on the bill but fifteen minutes imposed too great a restriction. Mr O Neill replied that if a man talked sense he could get more time if he wanted it. ! ' Mr. Mills moved that the resolution be referred to Committee on Rules, to report next Monday. I At nr. Grosvenor s suggestion tne yeas and nays were ordered, and the House by a vote of 182 to 55 refused to refer the re solution, s - : ' Mr. O'Neill then moved the previous question, on which the ayes and noes were taken, resulting ayes 207, noes 21. Mr Kogers, of Arkansas, moved to re consider the vote, and the morning hour having expired the resolution went over until next Tuesday. I Mr. Taulbee. of Kentucky, asked leave o offer for reference a resolution for the appointment of a commission of seven members to inquire into the condition of the civil service in all tbe departments and branches of the government, and whether the Civil Service act has been at all times since its passage been observed and carried out, and what beneficial results, if any. have inured to the civil service Of thegov- ernment by reason of said act.
