Heavy tea drinkers, says the Lan cet, first become "wildly excitable' and "then their tense of hearing goes' A crank is said to be a man who continually thinks, talks, and writes upon the only subject he does not un derstand. Two prisoners. Alfred Hecks and Wm. Taylor, handcuffed together, jumped from a steamer into Teohepont river, La., and were drowned. The new word "jawsmith," intro duced by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, is an expressive and valuable addition to the English language in these days of workmen who labor with their mouths only. On the Upper Sun river, in Mon tana, Miss Jane MoArthur rescued three persons from drowning, and, returning to the water for the fourth, the was sesed in a death-grip by a drowning woman, and both were lost. The republicans are holding their own in the French , elections, and the expectation that there will soon be an other revolution appears to be unfound ed. France seems to be able to get along without princes. Albany is not the only place in the country to have a bicentennial this year. Last Tuesday Kaskaskia, Til., was 209 years old. Once this little place, now numbering 150 inhabitants, was the capital of the State and boasted a popu lation pf 7,000. Who says we have no stately i oins in this couBiry ? It is said that Dr. Leonard Waldo, of the Yale observatory, who has been lecturing in England on the regulation and construction of timepieces and on the time service', attempted to explain to his audience the mystery of the winding-up department of a Waterbury watch, and to this end proceeded to take in the slack of one of them. The eOple stood this very patiently for a one time, then murmurs of impatience began to arise which finally grew into such a howl of indignation that the doc tor was forced to desistfand take up the I next subject. The chief of the bureau of statistics states the value of the breadstuff ex ports in the twelve months ended June 30 at $122 809,379, against $156,451, 831 in 1884-85. The cotton year will not end until September 1, but the ex ports in the ten months from September I to July 1, 1885-86' amounted to $197,854,161, against $191,837,731 in 1884-85. The value of the exports of raw cotton ha been running largely ahead of the values of all kinds and classes of breadstuff exported since 1881, and the excess is increasing, but from 1877 to 1882 the value of bread staff exports exceeded that of raw out ton by $668,924 in 1878 to $75,228, 902 in 1880. A careful analysis of the votes cast at the last general election in Great Britain is very interesting. In the 423 contests by which 444 of the total 669 members were returned, the tories and liberal seceders had a majority of 76, 455 in a poll of very nearly 3,000,000. In the English county constituencies, returning 234 members, the anti-Glad-stoniana had a majority of 11,864 in a total poll of 1,085,306 votes In the English boroughs returning 226 mem bers, the Unionists had a majority of 91,100 in a total vote of 1,215 362. The tory majority in England was 103,- 762. Gladstone had a majority of 11,- 578 in Wales, and 27,421 in Scotland. The new house of commons is composed as follows: Tones, 817; liberal seced ers, 75; Gladstone liberals, 191; nation alists, 85; speaker, 1; total 669 Majority againat home rule 116. A fashion which just at the mo ment appears to be in great favor for young ladies' street suits is that of a short, iamntv tailor-made basque of striped,1 barred, or dotted summer wool i j t . - i- .v.:. canvas, or etamme. Ihe basque is never decorated in any manner except with handsome buttons, and nine out of every ten of these garments open over a chemisette of linen or peroa'e, with natty tie to match, and studs set down the front. W here this style is not fol lowed, there is usually a medium-sised marine collar with sailor-knotted silk scarf and high standing linen collar as a finish. Often the combination u re versed, and there is worn a tailor-made basque of plain dark color, with skirts of striped or checked camel's hair. This latter stvle is a far better form for the maiontT of stout ladies, une styiisn costume of this kind is made of golden brown camel s hair, barred with ecru, with basque of golden-brown livery cloth. Another is of sapphire blue serge crossed with white, and basque of dark blue tricot. As soon as the crops are laid by, advises the Charlotte Home and Demo orat, go along the fences and ditches with a strong grass blade, and mow down the weeds and briers that have sprung up during the summer. They are soft now, and will cut easily, and you can do the work nicely and quickly with a sharp blade. Only be particular, of course, and do not break the blade against a stump or stone, i Let a hand ollow you with pitchfork, to collect the rubbish into heaps to rot, else take it to a hillside or washout, where it will do good in stopping the surface washing and forming manure. A fence or ditch side looks much better with the weeds and briers all out away.

Sbnat Mr. Sewell, from the committee on library, reported a joint resolution ac cepting from Wm. II . Vender bilt and Julia Dent Grant the objects of value and art presented by the various foreign governments to the late Ulysses S Grant. - They are accepted "with grate ful acknowledgment, and. are to be held by the United States and preserved and protected (in the national museum) for the use and inspection of the people of the United States. Passed. Mr. George moved to Uke up the House bills to remove political disabili ties. Mr. Ingalls protested against what he called a "grab game" in farming out the floor. He suggested either that the Senators should be called alphabetical ly or that the calendar should be taken np regularly. Mr. Cockrell suggested tbatethe House bills on the calendar unobjected to, should be taken up and passed. Mr. Edmunds, opposed the sugges tion, eaymg that the gnatest possible service which the Senate could render today would be not to pass any bill at all. It would be unfair to the President to Bend him a large number of bills at a late hour. The result would be, pro bably, that many of them would not be signed, and then they would be in a worse condition than if they had been left on the calendar. Mr. Ingalls asked Mr. Allison (chair man of the committee on appropria tions) to state the condition of the pub ic business and when the hnal adjourn ment might take place. Mr. Allison stated that the deficiency bill, the sundry civil bill and the river and harbor bills had just been signed by the presiding officer. Ihe Chair: "All three are on their way to the President." . Mr. Allison (continuing) : The forti fications bill has passed, both; houses. The Senate has asked for a conference. but the House has not yet acted on that request. 1 have heard float ng through a i . . i me air id some Bort of cnaouo way mat it is not the intention of the House to pass the fortificaticnsbill at this session. Mr. Dawes: 1 have been informed (unofficially) that the House will ap point a eonferenoe committee on that bill in a few minutes but 1 must agree with the Senator from Iowa that there is little probability of a solution ef that question. Mr. Allison: I think it unnecessary to prolong this session in the hope that the fortification bill will be disposed of. I know of no other business to detain us here except to give the President the necessary time to examine these three ppropriation bills. I see no impedi ment in the way of providing now for adjournment at 10 o'clock tonight. Mr. Chase wished the session pro longed until the bill reported from the postoffioe committee to extend the im mediate delivery system, should be passed. The adjournment resolution (modi fied to ten to-night) was discussed for some time without any conclusion being arrived at. Finally, Mr. Edmunds movea to go into executive session, re garding that in the meantime something more definite as to adjournment might be learned. The motion was agreed to, and the Senate at noon went into secret session The doors were reopened at 12:50. Upon motion of Mr. Eaetis a bill to declare the forfeiture of the New Or leans, Baton Rouge and Vioksburg railroad laud grant was called up for the purpose of making it a special order for some day next December. Mr Eustis moved that it be made a special order for the second Monday in Decern ber. This was agreed to. A message was received from the President returning, in compliance with a request of the Senate, a bill granting an inorease of pensions to soldiers who lost an arm or leg in service. The same measure was received back from the House with 'a verba amendment, which, on motion, was con curred in. The bill was then returned to the President. The Senate took up the Senate bill extending the system of immediate de livery to all articles bearing an imme dfate delivery stamp. Mr. Edmunds asked Mr. Chace if this law requiring the immediate delivery of all articles re ceived with, an immediate delivery stamp would not relieve every bonds man of a postmaster from liability under his bond until a new one was made. Mr. unace said he could not answer the question as well as the Sena tor himself could. After some discus sion the bill was passed Mr. Allison again callel tin the ad jourLment resolution and rtfjrcd an amendment so as to matte the hour IU o'cl -ok tonight Mr. Kenna.h? ped that action would not be forced on the reso lution Bills had just ben sent to the President that he could not read in three days; among them the river and harbor bill, whiph would require a dy to go through. Ho did not know that the President wanted an hour or whether he wanted four or live days. After further discussion Mr.; Allison said that in deference to Senators who represented certain matters he would not uow press the tesolution. Oa motion of Mr George the House bill to remove the political disabilities of J. R. Egglcston, of Mississippi, was taken up ana passea. ' On motion of Mr Plumb the Senate took up and passed the House bill to restrict the ownership of real estate in the Territories to American citizens, with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. (This is the same bill and practically the same substitute on which the conference committee failed to come to an agreement.) A further committee of conference was asked. Mr. Butler asked unanimous consent to take up the joint resolution for one month's extra pay for certain employes of both houses. Mr. Edmunds ob jected. The Senate took up the vetoed pen sion bill of Margaret Marchard, the widow of commodore Marchard, and postponed it until next session. It took up and passed the House bill granting to the Same lady the regular legal pension and it was passed. The Senate took up the vetoed pension bill of John S. Williams. After a long discussion a vote was taken on the passage of the bill and re sulted yeas 19, nays 15 ; no quorum. Mr. Allison, from the eonferenoe com mittee on the surplus resolution, sub mitted a report. He called attention to the fact that the only change made in the resolution as it passed the Senate was the substitution of the secretary of tho treasury for President of the United States, as the person who Bhall have the right to postpone (not suspend) calls; also the omission of the trade doll r olause. He presented a summary of the ef fects of the resolution if it should become a law, assuming that the revenues are the Bame as last year and that the expen ditures are keptjwithin the apropriaiions (which are $33,000,000 more than last year) Inhere will be paid during the current fiscal year $107,500,000 on the public debt, or within $291,000,000 of all the debt that can be paid until 891. Judging from the past, no detri ment is likely to occur if this joint reso- ution is likely to become law. By this joint resolution $100,000,000 in gold has been absolutely donated and dedicated to the payment to United Spates notes, and for no other purpose whatever; so that, keeping in mind that i x il f i . . . we are to nave a law (in mis joini reso- ution) which will put it out ot the power of the secretary of the treasury to touch one dollar of that $100,000,000 fave for he purpose of redeeming United states notes, and considering the fact that we had, August 1, a surplus over and above that amount in gold money and bullion of aboui $59,000,000) wrfcan apply $107,000,000 this fiscal year to the payment of the public debt. Messrs. Beck and Kdmunids dissented altogether from Mr. Allison's assump tion that by the joint resolution there was any dedication of the hundred mil lions or any change of the law whatever in relation to the reserve for United States nptes. What the law in that re spect was before, it still remained. Mr Call declared that if he had supposed that the effect of the joint resolution would be to dedicate this hundred mil lions absolutely to thatjpurpose he would have voted against it. Ihe eonferenoe report was agreed to without a division and the Senate, rejecting a motion to go into executive session, adjourned until tomorrow at 11 a. m. HOCSl. Mr. Morrison offered and the House unanimously adopted the following reso lution "That the House of Representa tives of the United States, has heard ith profound sorrow of the death of that eminent and distinguished oitiien, Samuel J. Tilden." The Senate amendments to the forti fications appropriation bill were non- concurred in, aud Messrs. Forney, Ran dall and Butterworth were appointed as conferees. Mr. Morrison called np the confer ence report on the surplus joint resolo- tion. Mr.. Morrison thought the resu- lution as it passed the House had been a wise ana conservative measure oi puD lio interest. The resolution, as agreed upon by the committee on conference, was, it seemed to mm, not bo good a measure, yet in the present condition of the treasury and bonded debt it would accomplish all that would have been done under the resolution aa it passed the House. The resolution made provision for the call of such bonds as were pubject to the call There were $132,000,000 of three per cent bonds remaining un called By ten million calls they would all be taken up in thirteen months and the resolution would have executed itself. There would be no publio debt until 1891 to which it could apply. In those thirteen months $50,000,000 of the $i;J2,000,000 would be taken up by the sinking fund. In those thirteen months the surplus receipts of the government would exceed $32,000,000, so that only 850.000.000 of the present surplus fund would be required to be taken out of the treasury in the thirteen months, to extinguish the debt; consequently, at the end of thirteen months, all tho debt that could be paid would have been paid and there would still J)e $30,000, 000 surplus in the treairury. There fore the ettict would De tne same whether the resolution were parsed with the 820,000,000 amendment or not. Another amendment substituted the secretary of the treasury for the President in the exercise of discretion in regard to postponing the calls, be cause the treasury department was one denartment which was required to do what the two branches of Congress directed it to do. He would not have left bo large a discretion in the hands of the secretary ; mat discretion was only to bo exoroised in an extraordinary emergency. He confessed that he did not know and had not met any one who did know just what it would amount to such an extraordmarv emergency. the United StaU s had cut throats with Mexieo and had a fishery war in Canada and this money was paid oat, it would not be a surplus in the treasury. But the Senate had assumed that there might be a contingency in which be necessary to postpone the might calT. Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, agreed that the original House resolution was a wise and conservative measure, but the confer ence report lacked in wisdom what he supposed it made up in conservatism. There was nothing on earth left of the original resolution but an accretion of power to the treasury department. Nothing could be gained by the passage of the resolution as now reported. It was a complete back-down and an abne gation on the part of the House and an insult to the public sentiment which had impelled the passage of the original res olution by a magnificent two-thirds vote. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, said those who voted for the measure were voters for a measure which would bring the country to a silver basis as sure as the sun would rise tomorrow. The discus sion was oontinued by Messrs. Beard, Breckenridge, Hiscock.Cannon.Browne, of Indiana, Butterworth, Evans, Sow den and others. Mr. Randall closed the debate in support of the conference action and in the course of his speech he presented a tabular statement showing the appropriations made by Congress at the present session. The report was adopted; yeas 120, nays 63. Mr. Belmont, of New ibrk, from the committee on foreign affairs, reported the Cutting resolutions. ' which were ublishcd this morning, and received unanimous consent to have them imme diately considered. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, said that the resolutions seemed to be a unanimous report of the committee on foreign af fairs. The resolutions had been adopt ed by the committee yesterday when the correspondence upon which they were based were in manuscript, and when the only information before the committee was contained in the report of the secretary of State. In that re port it was stated that a demand had been made for the release of i Cutting, not that the Mexican government had refused to release him. Acting upon this he (Mr. Hitt) had assented to the resolutions. Sinoe then he had read the correspond ence and instead of the Mexican gov ernment having refused the demand of the Unmted States, it had shown every spirit of compliance. There was no vision; there was lo d nance: there was very nearly humiliation in the tone of that feeble government before the udden, defiant demand of the secretary i state, in the name of the President. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, inquired whether Cutting was not still in jail. Mr. Hitt replied that he was, but said that upon the interference of the Mexi can minister of foreign affairs he had been offered his release on bail, which he had scornfully refussed. That w a the work of a mischief-making counsel there, who made speeches to crowds in the streets about vindicating the rights of his country. That was the incarna tion of indiscretion Who had charge of our foreign affairs there ? Cutting, acting by the advice of counsel, de clared that his case was ho longer an individual one, but an international af fair, and he insisted in sitting in. his prison when he could walk out, anv moment he pleased. Mr. Cram, of Texas, said that so far from declining the c ff r to be released on bail, Cutting had been convicted and was now awaiting sentence. Mr. Hitt said that Congress had no official information about that He had heard three or four versions of that to day from various newspapers and various persons, and one man bad told him that the Mexican authorities expected to get at the end of the case todaj and that the man would be at liberty, bnt he did not know that there was a- word of truth in any one of these stories. The gov ernment was doing in this case what it had done in a hundred other oases; in terfering to secure the release of one of its citizens. There was every prospect of eordial co-operation by Mexico, and he did not. believe that a democratic secretary of state was so incompetent that t il l e it . l ne couia not succeBsiuiiy carry on inis case with Mexico, when he had been so successful in other oases. Could Mex ico, like England, bring a fleet to bombard New York? No, ard the gentlemen's own minds might suggest an answer to the ques- question. Why, in the case of one country, were matters conducted slow ly, and in case of the other great swift- i a w-r a i j i ness was used r tie had connaenoe in the secretary of state. He believed the secretary was competent to manage diplomatic complications. The demand he had made had been answered in a friendly spirit. It was for our own in terest; it was for the sake of our own people; it was for the sake of all nations that we should preserve peace. The secretary knew that he had the backing of all Congress and all Americans in defending the rights of Americans everywhere. .Never has there been an uncertain tone of voice uttered by this or any other Congress on that subject. Mr. King, ol La., said that consul Brighpm was a constituent of his, and he knew him to be a man of high stand ing and learning, and one: fully quali fied for the position he held. Mr. Belmont, of New York, was somewhat surprised that his colleague (Mr. Hitt) should have changed his opiniou on this subject. His friend de nied that Mexico had refused the de mands of this country, but he could find no better authority than the secre tary of state, and that officer had de clared that Mexioo had refused to release Cutting: He commented upon and de nied the correctness of the extra-territo rial position of Mexioo, upon which the case hinges. Pending further discus sion Mr. Morrison moved that the House take a recesi until 10 o'clock tomorrow, and the hoar of 5 o'clock having ar rived, the House adjourned. toa oruxa tklsgkafhio hxws bu foueth raai.
