""3 Dan Guerra :-At this writing, (Satur-
day evening); it is not definitely, known
=whether'0oagr‘esa will be able to close its
session on Monday or no. . The most
; probable termination of the scssion‘will be
‘ at12 meridian of Tuesday the 23d, which is
the ’latest limit which can be fixed for
'Mond‘ay’s session. To do this, and pass
”alléh ' bills as ought to become laws before
final adjournment will require a session of
the Senate up to midnight tonight and a 1
,tbrough Monday night also. The House.
quite remarkably, is in this instance in ad-
vance of the Senate, in its required enact-
ment of necessary measures. For several
days anl more especially throughout yes-
terday and today bills have been put
through at the adiourment rush pace,
though in all matters appropriating money
the closest scrutiny has been exercised.
There is now greater danger of deserving
necessary bills failing than of any improper
ones being slipped through.
The President has been at his room at the
Senate all the afternoon busily signing bills
and will doubtless be again closeted there
with his secretaries on Monday and to the-
session's end. It is believed by many that
both Houses will continue their sessions
through Sunday, but there would seem to
be no real necessity for such a violation of
the customary sanctities of the day. '
The Senate has passed the Savings Bank
Bill relieving these institutions from the
Internal Revenue ruling which subjects
~ them to a tax on their surplus dividends.
An old and interesting relic'was exhibit-
ed in the House yesterday by Mr. Hooper,
of Massachusetts. It was the watch pre-
sented by Washington to Lafayette at the
capitnlation of Cornwallis, and afterward
stolen from the patriotic Frenchman while
on a visit to this country in 1825 at Nash-
ville, Tenn. The watch turned up about
four years ago at a pawnbroker’s sale in
Louisville, Ky., and was purchased by a
gentleman in Texas. A resolution was
unanimously adopted appropriating $300
for the purchase of the relic and its restora-
tion to the the family {of the Marquis de
Lafayette. Its ‘genainencss is beyond a
question of doubt. -
The Senate to-day passchle House bill
appropriating the $800 without objection.
The new currency bill agreed upon by
the conference committee is apparently
intended to propitiate the West. It gives
that section fifty-five millions more curren-
cy, at the expense of the East; and an im-
portant inducement to take thisboon would
be that no reserve would have to be held
against the notes, which would make their
issue a much more valuable privilege. * On
the other hand, there is no positive increase
of circulation against which the hard-
moncy party could object.
It is a mooted question at this moment,
whether the President will sign the present
bill or no. It passed the House by 221 to 40.
Gen. Butler had a field-day last night. By
well advertised announcement he paid his
respects to sundry parties who had ar-
raigned him on the Sanborn contracts and
moiety unpleasantness. The General drew
an immense audience. The galleries and
floors and corridors were crowded to suffo-
cation and hundreds beat a reluctant retreat
unable to get within sound of his voice. As
a performance to the delectation of the
crowd, it was an immense success. No
’ such entertainment has been furnished ' the
galleries, this session. The General has an
unlimited amount of courage and is always
quick as lightning and about as fatal in his
repartec. He "last night vindicated :his
right to being the best man in Congress to
let alone, if there had been any doubt upon
that subject before, as there was probably
not.
. The sober second thought, however, seems
to settledownto thc'point that the Essex
statesman has not improved his chances for
' becoming governor of Massachusetts, by
his volunteered assumption of the moiety
and Payne and Sanborn odium.
It has been amusing to witness the wrig'
ling alui squirming to dodge. responsibility
for defeat of the civil rights bill. The best
lawyers in Congress are of opinion it ought
not to pass on account of its conflict with
the constitution. But those politicians who
require the colored vote to make their
elections sure this fall, were nearly frantic,
either sincere or assumed efforts to get it
through. It got on the speaker’s table and
by a lucky parlimentary hitch, which seem-
ed to relieve everybody, it went to the tomb
of the capulets. without any one being able
to point to any one and say “thou did’st it.”
It blocked business all day yesterday, and
when our Mr. Starkweatherdcd the House
up out of the maze, ittook a long yawn of
relief. Gen. Butler tried his lead vigorous-
ly at the refractory child, but ignominiously
failed of recussitstingthe stifled corpse.
Gen. Kellogg got through a most sensible
sort of a substitute for the defunct civil
service fraud. It leaves all examinations,
m., to bemade by the heads of the various
departments, whenever a new employer is
to be appointed and apportionsthe cm-
ployees as far as is consistent among the
several states. This form of the reform
may secure some little fidelity of observance.
. A very gratifying and honest observance
of the professed civil service reform is
locally illustrated in the rc-appointment for
their fourth terms, of Charles Olmstead and
T.= J. Daskam, to be Postmasters of Nor.
'walk'and Stamford respectively. Sixteen
years of continuous service, will round out
a very encouraging oflcial life for our
worthy friends, and exhibits a “stability"
in olllce ail’too uncommon even in goo
, and sensible New England. ' '
Representative" Barnum has - nominated
Edward Beiden Webster of Norwalk, as a
cadet to the Naval Academy. Young
Webster has for many years been a very
promising and popular student at Selleck’s
school from which he graduates to enter the
Naval'Acsdemy, in September next. His
appointment will occasion much gratifica-
tion among his many friends and comrades
and is another evidence of what a studious
and good boy may accomplish for himself.
Mr.'Barnum having nominated him upon
his own personal application and without
the aid of influential parties.
The appointment to West Point from this
district was conferred upon Henry McNeil
of Litchfield, who passed a very creditable
examination at the recent admissiog of
cadets to that institution.

The town meeting of last Wednesday was
the largest held in many years. Mr. M. S.
Craw was chosen moderator. A rcgolution
was introduced to 'appoint a committee to
carry out the vote of the previous meeting
and construct the bridge over tide-mill pond
in accordance with the vote. Mr. Wm. T.
Craw spoke in favor, but us soon as he was
seated a motion to adjourn was made and
carried by a vote of 281 to 183. This sum-
mary mode of procedure natually gave of-
fense to the minority, and we may expect
to hear of the project again sooner or later.

Lockwood’s Hall was filled with a merry
crowd last Tuesday evening, the Occasion
being the annual festival-and hop of Phoe-
nix Hose Company. The Hall was neatly
ornamented with bunting, flowers, fire de-V
partmcnt emblems,1etc. John Starr furn!
ished music,.and the floorwas packed with
dtncers until a late hour.
On Friday evening a fair audience attend-
ed the entertainment givcn in Lockwood’s
Hall by Kabaosa Encampment. The Hall
was neatly decorated, and the refreshment
tables presented a very fine appearance, be-
ing trimmed with evergreens and covered
with a profusion of flowers—evidently ar-
ranged by the “Daughters of Rebecca.”
The first part of the entertainment consisted
of concert music rendered by Fred Wanne-
macher’s hand, all the selections being re-
ceived with.applause. For some inexplica-
ble reason- the “promenade” feature was
omitted; all seemed to desire it. but none
were found with courage _,enough to face
the audience and “open the ball.” Modest,
very. VT‘hc music was all that could have
been desired, the weather cool, the attend-
ance good, the rct‘reshmcntg nbnndant, and
the managers may well feel encouraged to
fOllow up this entertainment with others.
This evening a concert and festival will
be given at Lockwood’s Hall by the young
ladies of the “Mission Band,’ who expect
to make this entertainment compare favor-
ably with any they havc yet given. It is
sure to be enjoyable and to be largely at-
tended by our best society. The music is

Thursday last was a sort of 4th of July
at South Norwalk. In the morning the
Burnside Guards held their annual target
practice, and in the afternoon, headed by
the Stamford Brass Band, and accompanied
by the Old Well Hook ~and Ladder Com-
pany, they made a fine street parade. The
marching of the Burnsiders was excellent,
and they turned out with very full ranks.
This was the first public parade of the fire
company with their apparatus, and they
made a handsome and creditable appear-
ance, all being in uniform and with their
Truck profusely decorated with flowers.

The two companies marched down to
witness the launch of Mr. Frank-Burritt’s
new schooner yacht “Estelle,” which
promptly, without any check or mishap,
slid from the ways into the creek at 2%
o’clock, p. m., amid the cheers of- the as-
sembled crowd. Immediately after the
launch the invited guests, numbering sever-
al hundred, were treated to a sumptuous re-
past in a tent erected on the meadows close
by, ' ' .
The Estelle is a handsome looking
schooner yacht of‘ about a- hundred tons
burden,built of the most durable material
and in the best possible manner, and as
staunch and strong, rs wood and iron can
make her. Her masts are 70 feet and her
iop~masts 35 feet in length, enabling her to
spread an immense amount of canvass. It
is hoped and confidently expected that she
will provcafast sailor. Mr. 'Burritt is a
member of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, and
the .Estellc will probably take part in the
fall regattas of the club. The “Schemcr,”
a. fine little sloop, and which won the prize
for second-class sloops in the annual race of
that club on Tuesday, lay out in the creek
handsomely decorated with an immense
number of small flags and several significant
brooms. Also, anchored out in the stream,
with parties aboard to witness the launch,
was Cashier Street’s noted “Louise," which
this season has been transformed from a
cat-rigged bout to o. slocp~rigged; LcGrand
Jenning’s fast boat ;;and several others, to us
unknown; The launch was as successful
as could have been desired. ‘

The largest and most luscious Strawber-

with the real strawberry flavor—were"
brought into ,us on Friday, afternoon from

variety.” Mr. Davis is evidently successful
with his Strawberry culture, this season.

Charles Comstock, the veteran Strawberry
raiser of this vicinity, laid us under our an-

choicest fruit that made onc’s mouth water to

Here is a collection of counsels freely
given by Bishop Wiley to the under shep-
herds of the Methodist flock in Jersey:
“The preachers should not divide their time
between life insurance, real estate, cranber—.
ry patches and the salvation .Of‘ men.” '
also cautioned them against. undue familiar-
ity in their pastoral visits. They ought
never to kiss any person outside of their
own families, not even a child. A whisper,
he added, would ruin: the reputation of a
minister.” ,

set in he heard the cars coming, and rolling
up a bundle of clothes he set them on "fire.
The engineer saw the light and stopped the
train just thirty feet off. Then he pried the
fellow out and took him on board. All of
which is lively but slender. Why did not
the fellow take out his knife and cut his

that the sum total of their contributions
had been :$6',961'.62,’an‘ ‘ annual average fof
$331.50. ‘ For the last year they were
$571.59 ; in the year 1871 they were $727.54,
including a special collection for sufferers
' by western fires. During the last fourteen
years the‘fuu'ds-‘ha've been mainly appropri-
ated to the missionary work of the Ameri-
01!] Sunday Union in .the West, amounting
to $5,662.50; forthe :last three years,$500‘
a year. The balance" has been paid over to
various Catholiocharin‘es. ,
We emphasizé the: wOrds Catholic chari-
ties, because,first,‘thcir expenditures have
all been for purely bonsoolent purposes, with
the single eze‘gpfion‘qf $18.70 bestowed on their
own sohoolfand secondly, they have not
sought sectarian results, but have given al-
most cntirely on broad catholic principles
for general union ends. During the four-
teen years in.which they have contributed
to the support of two Missionaries of the

neither has been of their own denomination,

two million beehives in the United States.

price at which honey .‘is sold is 35 cents a
pound; so that, after paying their own
board, the bees present as with a revenue of
$8,800,000. To reckon it another way, they
make a clear gift of over a pound of honey
to every man, woman and child in the Uni-

CARBON AND MILK—In spring and early
summer milk is apt to have a. garlicky or
gniou-liko flavor from someodorous shrub
atcn by thecows. To absorb this peculiar
taint drop-a piece of wood charcoal, three

“The sprightly and talented actress, MiSS
May Gallagher, appears Thursday night at
the National in a new play entitled “Chat,”
written expresslv for her by Mr. Francis C.
Long, of' this, city. Mr. Long is doubtless
known to most of our readers as a poetical
contributor to some of our leading periodi-
cals, and particularly as the author .of a
‘number of fine poems which have appeared
at various times in the literary columps of
Sunday Chronicle and other papers in this
city. The play which he has just produced
is said to be full of" good points and
._ admirably adapted. to exhibit to the best
advantage the versatile talent of the gifted
little actress, whose previous successes in
this city afford an assurance that the theatre
will be well filled during her present cu-

condition, and 6,456 have been condemned.
During the three years that the parking
commission has been in Operation under the
direction of the Board of Public Works,
therc' have been planted 24,062 trees, ora
little more than one-half of the whole num-
ber in the city, and so successfully‘has the
work of planting been done that the num-
ber of trees lost is very trifling. , In the re-
serve nurseries in the eastern section of the
city, the parking commission have now
about 73,000 young trees of thirty different
varieties in course of training, which are in-
tended for future use. The cost of each

District affairs, the President stated that the
organic act of the District of Columbia had
many defects: that it was both cumbersome
and expensive in practice, and should be, as
contemplated by Congress, very materially

and the District more positively defined.
He thinks that \Vashington, now the politi-_
on], is destined in the immediate future to
be the literary and art center as well. He
believes in the liberal adormcnt of the capi-
tal, and with a properly designed govern-
ment, economically administered, he thinks
it would be the finest city in the world.

. . Iperccive that the Norwalk Gazette in-
quires how I pronounce my name. I sup;
, pose ofcourse the editor must be writing a
poem of which I am the hero, and he is a
little uncertain about his rh mes. I have no
objection to saying that-if were engaged
in such a work I should make Adeler rhyme
with “saddler,” and he is at liberty to do so
if he has alsaddler anywhere in his plot.
He mieht perhaps make the scowiing villian
a saddler, and represent him as prowling
about the country trying to strangle his en-
emies with a lasso composed of a hitching
strap and a scrupper. But this is as far as
loan go. I cannot conscientiously permit
him to take liberties with my charactcl'istiCs
in order to make outhis story. Ifhe intends
to represent me in that poem as armed with
.a battle-axe and forked down over a yellow
horse, upon which I pursue the saddle, who
is escaping with the heroine; and if he pro-
poses to make the dash madly over a frown-
ing cliff for the purpose of rescuing the un-
fortunate girl from the clutches of that
diabolical saddler, he does not know me.

can be no doubt, for I Was out with the Penn-

screamed once when. the , 'on my left in

toes, and he did it oncerevery day for months.
But when it comes to charging over cliffs

it about 40 feet from the edge of that cliff.
