Representa tive McMillen, of Tenn., will at the first opportunity introduce in the House a bill to pension the survivors of the Mexican and Florida wars. The national board of health has decided to ask congress to re-enact the quarantine laws which expired in June last. A bill has been prepared with this object in view which also provides for the restoration of cer tain lapsed appropriations. Dr. H. A. Johnson, ix member of the board from Chicago, has tendered his resig nation. The air is full of rumors regarding the appointment of members of the various House committees. No defin ite statements are given out, even by those most intimately associated with the new Speaker. They assert that they know nothing of his intentions, and that he has made no promises. An old member said this morning that new men were seeking positions on the ways and means, appropria tions and judiciary committees, in fact that they wanted to be connect ed with all of the important commit tees. It is generally conceded by the Democratic members of the House that Representative Morrison, of Illi nois, will be given the chairmanship of the ways and means, and Randall that of the appropriations commit tees. As associates of Morrison on the ways and means committee, are men tioned the names of Hewitt of New York. Randolph Tucker of Virginia. Curtin of Pennsylvania, Geddes of Ohio, Herbert, of Alabama, Seymour of Connecticut, or May bury of Michi gan, v. ox, of New York, of Hurd of Ohio. Democrats, and Kelly of Penn sylvania. Kabson. of Iowa, and Has kell, of Kansas, Republicans. The Democratic members of the House do not unanimously favor Morrison as a selection for the ways and means chairmanship, the ground of opposi tion being, as expressed by a protec tionist that his appointment closely follnwincr Carlisle s election to the speakership would precipitate the tariff issue for 1SS4. and. added the gentleman, it is not in the province of the Speaker, nor for that matter, of Congress, either, to force a political issue upon the country. The opinion is expressed that the committee on elections will be ap pointed at an early date, possibly the first of next week. While the others will not be announced until a short - a. r time prior to an adjournment ior the holidays. For the chairmanship or tne com mittee on elections Cobb, of Indiana, and Doris, of Missouri, are mention ed ; Reagan, of Texas, is spoken of for the committee on commerce, anu Perry Belmont, of New York, is also mentioned in connection wan tne chairmanship of tbe same commit- ee. if he does not get on tne commit tee of foreign affairs Cox. of New York is considered as the probable chairman of the latter committee. It is thought probable that Hewitt, of New York, will be placed at the head of the committee on naval affairs, a position tor which he is especially well fitted oy re;ison 01 uie promi nent part he'has taken in naval legis latioii. Next to Hewitts name that of Leopold Morse, of Massachusetts, is ofteuest heard in connection with the naval chairmanship Buckner. ot .Missouri, wno was chairman of the committee on bank ing and currency, when the Demo crats last had control of the House, is mentioned for the same position again, and liatcn, uiso oi Missouri, is spoken of as likely to be chairman of the committee on agriculture. Tucker, Of v lrgumi, because ot his ong service in the House, it is be lieved, will be given the judiciary committee, though the frieuds of Hurd, of Ohio, say he will be made chairman. Speaker Carlisle is receiving advice at the rate of 200 or 300 letters per day, but it diligently keeping his own counsel in respect to his pur poses. A Methodical Failure. Fort Smith, Ark, Dec 6. Plunkett dc Wright, leading merchants of La voa, in this county, failed yester d!V ; liabilities $40,000 with no assets. It is alleged that they have been sell ing goods regardless of cost.

It is pumping, pumping, pumping, all the time, day and night, winter and summer, hot days and cold days, storm and sunshine, pump, pump, pump goes that industrious organ. What is the heart pumping f It is pumping your blood. Every four minutes, at the outside, every drop of blood in your body passes through coat wonderful pump. From the heart the blood is sent out through the arteries. These are large tubes, branching into smaller ones. As the blood goes through them it receives from the lungs its supply of air. Your lungs are bellows, and they aro working all the time, taking in pure air, and send ing out the breath which h laden with the impurities the blood has brought back in its journey home to the heart by way of the veins. What is this blood that is pumped f It is your life. Your vital fluid. Let it run out, and you die. Im poverish it, and you become weak, and puny, and pale, and miserable. Let it be laden with impurities, and you are unfitted for work, for duty, for enjoyment, for life. Keep it pure, hearty, and vigorous, and your step is firm and elastic, your mind is clear, vour digestion o-rwt nnrl v,r r. tite natural. ' 0 ' J t'i There must be iron in the blood that is pumped. Iron gives the color to the millions and millions of HttU that are in the blood. These corouscles are so small tViaf t --. r.r u when placed in a line make an inch in length. Small as they are, they must be kept in prime order, or you fail. To keep the blood from becom ing mm or impure, urown's Iron Bitters is the thing you need. This builds up the system by eivine to the blood the onlv ever successfully made. It is the great family remedy for weakness, de bility, and indigestion. Buy it of your druggist. .0 We have a kinds for good assortment of Rubber Garments of all Two L.ves Taken Over a Ditch Dispute. Cincinnati. Dec 6. Near Anderson, Ind., last evening John J.

The Programme to Reduce Southern Strength in the National Republican Convention. Washington, Dec. 6. To remedy in some measure what is regarded by many as a very grav injustice of the fresent representation in the Repub ican national conventions which gives to States and districts all over the country the same voice re gardless of the Republican vote, when in some districts in the South where even the form of nominating Repub lican candid ites for Congress is not even pursued. Senator Frye, a mem ber of the national committee from Maine, will propose at the next meet ing of the committee on Dec 12th inst, a new basis of representation as fol lows: Each State shall be entitled to four delegates as now, each district to one, instead of two as now, to one additional delegate for each ten thou sand votes cast within its limits in 1880, for Republican candidates for presidential electors, and to one ad ditional delegate for majority frac tions of thousands, and tne votes for presidential electors is taken as the best indicating the real strength of the party in any district, being less liable to be affected by local causes. The effect of this proposition if adopt e" upon States and upon congression al districts is shown by a table com piled by an application of the presi dential vote of 1880 to the districts as then existing, to bo in States where any change will be effected, as fol lows: The States w hich w ill gain, and the number of delegates gained, are t onnecticut o, f ennsylvama 12, Illi nois 11, Iowa 4, Kansas 1, Maine 4, Massachusetts (5, Michigan 2, Minne sota 1, New Hampshire .3. New Jer sey 5, New Hampshire 3, New York 16, Ohio 17, Oregon 1, Vermont 4, Wisconsin 5: total for Northern States 113. The States which will lose are Alahama,7, Arkansas 4, Geor gia 9, Kentucky 7. Louisiana 5, Mis sissippi 8, South Carolina 4, Tennes see 3, Texas 11, Virginia 3, Rhode Is land 2; total 61. The number of dele gates on the proposed basis is 87, on the present basis of 830 ; increase 50" The application of the same rule to the present districts under the late apportionment could not jut now be readily made, owing to the lack of necessary and accurate information, but it will not materially change the relative strength of several States, and will only increase the total mem bership of the convention by about 80. Desperate Attempts at Suicide. Cincinnatti, Dec 6. A.
