The New York Tribunt aays that: "Attention ia being called to the fact that moat of the prominent men in this city, in every walk in life, were born aad , bred in the country. Indeed, New York city night almoat be defined as a huge caravanaary in which inanmeraale coun try boys abide while they are makiii" their fortunes.' The same ia true of othei cities, Itia said, for instance, that nine tenths of the clergymen of Louis.ille, Ky., came from rural home. All Ilia judges; all the leading lawyer; ail the well-known journalist, nearly all the bank president, physicians and promi nent merchants and manufacturers of that city were country boy." A celebrated physician haa remarked that every house onght to be pulled down at the end of the sixtieth year, a it ha by that time absorbed all the diseases of those who have lived in it, believing that wood and plaster' absorb gases, foul aii and feverish exhalations as readily at milk or water doe. But a it ia not practictbt - io tear down house every half century or so, it is to be considered if all the wood used io their interior con struction and atl the plain surfaces of plaster ahould not be ao thoroughly oiled or varnished that the power of ab sorption ahould bo almost entirely de stroyed, and the character thus 10 changed that destruction would no longer be desirable.

A ragged beggar called upon Mr. As tor one day at hi office ia Prince street and asked for alms. Mr. Astor reused to give him anything. The beggar per sisted in his appeal; the millionaire was firm in hit refusal. The bcggitr became pertinacious, and spoke of his hunger a he stood la hi 13. Mr. Astor appeared to be unmoved. Finally the beggar, ia turning to leave the office, put ia what he regarded as a clincher by saying: "Remember, Mr. Astor, thtt though yoo re a millionaire and I am a beggar, you are driving out a brother, for w art brothers all the same, as children ol Adam and the Almighty," "Ay J a? ! Hold a minute,", cried Mr. Astor, a he pricked up hie ear, put hit hand ia hi pocket, and took out a cent. "That is so; we are all brother.

At the close of the morning business the bill for re funding the direct tax of 1861 was taken up, the question being on Mr. Chandlcr'i motion to recommit the bill. The mo tion wa rejected. The question waa then taken on the amendment offered by Mr. Edmund, requiring all claims to be filed within aix yean, and it was agreed to. Mr. Berry offered an amendment provid ing that no part of the money collected from individual shall be retained by the United State as a setoff against any state indebtedness. The amendment was agreed to. Mr. Vance offered an amend ment extending the provisions of the bill to the cotton tax collected under the law of 1802 and subsequent law. He said that if the direct tax was to be refunded, this cotton tax, which was also a direct tax, ought to be refunded, if one was a .hardship, the other was equally a hard shlpv The cotton tax waa a tax on ex ports and wa levied on the peculiar pro duct of one section of the country, so that there could be no compensating tax on any other section. Mr. Hampton stated some facta to show that the state of South Carolina had been actually made to pay some $700,000, while her quota of the di rect tax waa only 1303,000.

The House then, after briefly considering it in committee of the whole, passed the agri cultural experiment stations bill. It ap. propriatea 4583,000 to carry into effect last year's bill providing for such stations in connection with state agricultural com mittee. ... i Mr. Wilkina,of Ohio, then called np the bunking bill a unfinished business. An effort was made by frienda and opponent jof the measure to come to some agree ment by which the bill might be open to free discussion and amendment, and the offering of dilatory motion waa aband oned; but it wa unsuccessful owing to the announcement by Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, that be would not surrender his right to antagonize the bill at any time by any means in his power. He raised a Question of consideration, and the House determined yea 150, naya 83 to con sider the bill In the Senate, Mr. Sawyer asked unan imous consent for the immediate consid eration of the House bill "relating to per mbeible printing or writing on second, third and fourth -class mail matter," turn bill having been reported back from the postoftice committee without amendment Consent waa given and the bill passed. The Blair educational bill wa then taken np and Mr. Bowea made a speech in sup port of it. Mr. Blair followed Mr, Bow en ia advocacy of hia bill. Mr. Hnrria interrupted Blair to say that in Mr. Blair' pamphlet the legislature of Ten neee wa represented as favoring the bill. That wa a gross mistake. The legislature of Tennessee had never taken any such position. , Mr. Blair admitted that there might be a mistake a to Ten but he was certainly not mistaken saying that the bilt was favored by the legislatures of Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Caro lina, North Carolina and Virginia. 80 that in those state whose Senaton gener ally attacked the constitutionality of the bill, there seemed to be do such objection to it Debate became general, and was participated in by Messrs..

President Cleveland sent to Congress the reports of the Pacific railroad com mission, accompanying them with a apeclal message on the subject ;. The re ports, he says, exhibit such schemes con nected with the construction and man agement of the subsidized roads to defeat any chance for the government' reim bursement, that any plan of settlement hould be predicated upon the substantial interest of the government rather than any forbearance or generosity deserved by the companies.
