tomcd dignity and decorilmof film: bodywas
pretty well inai'uted, And i dispobltion to “ob-
ject" to about every medics Vthau the
appropriation bills,kllled of! much wise and
some pernicious enactments at the last mo-
ment. In the Housegthere was much that
was utterly indefensible and disgraceful to
the American Congress, As the hours were
away on Wednesday night and the small
llOlll‘S'Of Thursday morning still found the
Sundry Civil or Omnibus Bill, unpassed. it
becalne evident in many ways that there was
an element in the House determined upon
having a regular “spree” of it. And while
the democratic side enjoyed a monopoly of a
too apparent and disgusting ineblicty, candor
compels us to‘ state that there were it few
members who were drunk, who w not
democrats. The clerks and ofiicers had been
greatly overtaxed and worn out with work
and want of sleep, and to keep up their fing-
ging energies, they too had resorted to the
stimulant that intoxicafies, until! taking the
House as a wholebmembers and subordi-
nates—it was about as lively and disorderly
a “circus" as one is ever permitted to see
wrought out of a deliberative body. While
much may be pardoned to the excitements of
the occasion and the severe strain upon body
and brain, it can only be said, that the disor-
ders rampant in the House were simply dis-
graceful and unpardonable. A little before.
midnight Randall lost his temper in his ef-
forts ‘ to maintain order, which the mischiev-
ous element on the fioor instantly took advan-
tage of to still further‘exasperate him. They
called for the useless reading of Bills, and
when the clerk gave out Sam Cox was urged
to go to thedesk and read. No sooner did
he essay this substitute duty than cat-calls
and whoopings of “Lender, louder,” were
shouted all Over the House, until poor Cox
was drowned out and surrendered amide
pandemouium of noise. Next, about every
member was on his feet shouting at ‘ the top
of his lungs, “Mr. Speaker!" “Mr. Speak-
er!" and Randall, scarlet in the ,face from
anger and from. desperate rapping of his
gavel, ordered the Sergemltnt-Arms to march
through the aisles and arrest ,every member
not down in his seat. This officer took his
heavy mace and tugged along with fit as if
transporting a half-grown sapling, and as fast
as'he approached a seat the member would
drop into his chair to rise the moment he
passed on. This farce was played until he
got over on the Republican side, and espying
Ben Butler out of his seat and standing in
the aisle he started 'on a full run for the
Essex statesman. As soon he this was dis-
covered the yells, “run, Butler, run,” “run
you devil,”——“he’s after you,”-——“he'll catch
you,” “dig,” &c., rended the air and echoed ,
all over the chamber, and Butler, seizing
upon or being seized with the hilarity of the
occasion, did run up the aisle into and out of
the cloak room hotly pursued by the Ser-
geant-at-Arnls with his huge club of a mace
dragging after, til! Butler, stumbling com-
pletely over the desk next his own, fell squat
into his own chair like a base-ball champion
tearing for his base, while the whole HouSe
and the galleries, now. densly filled, cheered
and yelled and whooped and whistled worse
than the street arabs, of New York, in the
OldiBowery Theatre pit. The scene was ir-
resistably ludicrous, but the place- and oc-
casion made it none the less painful forany
one to witness who cared ought for the dig-
nity and fair fame of ourhighes: national leg-
islative body. ‘
The most serious consequence of this
night’s dissipation was in its effects upon a
correct enrolling and comparison of the Sun-
dry Civil Bill. The bill comprised ninety-
onc printed pages, and there were many hun-
dred amendments and alterations made by the
several conference committees to be engross
ed on the final parchment. Here a most ex-
traordinary difilculty‘prcsented itself. The two
democratic members on the Enrolling Com-
mittee were drunk and the sober Republican
was Rainey, colored member from South
Carolina whom the demhrafis had tried their
utmost 2:: -. Al. on Wednesday. The clerks,

man was equal to the emergency. He was
both a clear and. a correct copyist and with
his own hand, was much of the sundry ,Civi!
Dill engrossed. Already it'is discovered,
that some serious errors have crept into the
portions of the bill engrossed by the inebriat-
ed clerks, but how great and how many these,
crrorsvinny be, it :wil take time and a careful
comparison to accurately determine.
In the Senate, an angry executive session
was held, over the confirmation of the ~
Monetary-Commission. Gen. Walker of
Connecticut, was confirmed without oppo-
sition. A fight was made by the Silver men
against Ell-Senator Fenton and he was at
first rejected. Surprised at this, Senator
Conkling sprang into the breach and made
one of the most convincing and powerful
arguments ever delivered by him it is said.
The result was theta vote of reconsideration
was carried and Fenton confirmed. The
President and Cabinet remained at the Sen-
ate end of the Capitol all night, to sign him;
and send in nominations.

32d; M. E. Church Improvements
" 'A very radical and most pleasing change
has been wrought in the pulpit and chancel
features of the 2d M. E. Church. The pas-
tor, who has an apt mechanical and inventive
genius, has devised a sliding platform which
runs out from uuddrjthe old. pulpit platform
to the chancel rall~Herc is a neat «and richly
wrought blaekwalnut desk, made by Lamb,
of New York, and presented by E. J. Hill,
I'which brings the preacher some twelve to
fifteen feet shares his hearers. ...0n the
right of thistbvalfie: platform is itoz be
placed ringworm vase, are gift of Mr. ‘snd
Mrs. D. W. Fitch,while on the left is to stand
a:rich baptismal font, harmonizing with the
- flower vaseonthe opposite. This fontisa
memorial gift of Mrs. David W. Nash. ‘ T0'
the rear' of the movable platform and imme-
diately in-fron't of the former pulpit' plat-
for books and water pitcher; one the gift of
Mr. Joseph W. Roscoe and the other of Mr.
Charles W. Hoyt. The new platform is
richly carpeted and bordered, the gift of Mr.
and Mrs. Staph. H. Holmes. A new and very
richly illustrated Oxford Pulpit Bible, the
gift of Mrs. Wm.‘ Lounsbury, adorns the
preacher’s desk, while in front of all stands
a heavy blackwalnut memorial communion
table, presented by .Mrs. Dr. Asa Hill as
commemorative of her' late husband, whose
labors and love for the- church form so con-
spicuous a chapter in its history. In the front
panel, beneath its top, is richly carved in
raised letters, the words, “In remembrance
of me.” On its base rail are the words, simi-
larly carved, “In memory of Dr. Asa Hill."
The most conspicuous change and improve-
ment consists in utilizing all the space occu-
pied by the former pulpit for the church
choir. It is expected that a new and large
church organ will soon grace the wall panel
in the immediate rear of the old pulpit, and
as now,'the singers will range around in front
and on either side, and while in rear of the
pastor in front of the congregation. This is
to our mind the most pleasing and essentially
serviceable improvement in the whole change.
It obviates the old style of twisting one's
neck of to see and hear and enjoy the church
singing. It also greatly promotes the grow-
ing'taste for a general participation .of the
whole congregation,in that important and po-
fienfiia! part of the church worship,'its sing.
lug. .
There are three heavily upholstered and
richly wrought walnut chairs upon the new
platform, the giver of which requested that
his name should be kept a secret, but “ -
ple will find out," and Madame Rumor
charges the generous gift,and very generally,
to our friend Jas. W. Hyatt, Esq. All in all
the changes are most pleasing and beneficial.
It has been rumored that Mr. & Mrs. Ira
Cole presented the chairs, but we are author-
ized to say that they were not the donors.
3 - The platform was constructed by Mr. Platt
Price, we understand free of cost to the
church. , ,

South Norwalk’s new Deputy Sherifi pub-
lishes a letter in Saturday’s Sentinel in which
he “Replies to his Assailants.” The letter
is signed “Jerry Donovan, " but was evidently
written by an up-town man, and reads won-
derfully like an editorial in the Democrat in
.its palmy’ days. ‘ Mr. Donovan seems to feel
hurt because the Gazette did not approve his
appointment. We did not suppose he would
feel much pleased with the protest which we
felt it a duty to make. But, we have had our
say about his appointment, and do not pro-
pose to enter into any controversy with him
—or rather, with his amanuensis. We intend
to wait until he has had a fair chance to
“discharge the duties of the office faithfully,
honestly and conscientiously” to the best of
his ability, “without fear or‘ favor of any
man or set of men," and then if he does any-
thing worthy of commendation we will cheer-
fully givc him‘ all due credit. We would
suggest, on the start, that if he wants
*people to believe that 'he has really retired
from the firm of Donovan & Co., hc.atops
signing receipts for liquor and leaves such
acts for Mr. Co. to perform. Also, if he is
in earnest about performing his duty without
fear‘ or favor, he knows just where to com'_
mence. When he has succeeded in squelch-
ing the headless firm of Donovan & 00., the
people will believe that he means what he
says, and will rise in their might 'to sustain
him. , 2 :1 ‘ '

. 2 The Methodist Festival.
The Sunday Scoool Festival of the 2d M.
E. Churc , as a matter of cont”. proved a
most gratifying success. On Tuesday even-
ing, notwithstanding the unfavorable aspect
of the weather, the attendance was very large.
The‘stage had been extended in front to
accommodate all the members of the large
school, and was crowded with merrychil-
dren. A long refreshment table running the
entire length of the room presented a temp:-
ing appearance. A million of daisies—more
or less—strung on strings, hung in festoons
around the Hall. Ex.-Burgess Gerardus P.
Adams, Superintendent of the school; took
charge of the exercises, making his first ap-
pcaranee in this capacity. Mr. Henry Price,
who trained the children in singing, had
' entire charge of the musical exercises. The
programme embraced singing by the children,
recitations, dialogues, quartette singing, doc.
This part of the entertainment passed OR
to the general delight of the audience. Dur-
ing the} social reunion which followed, the
quantity of ice cream consumed was aston-
ishingly large. On Wednesday evening the
Hall was fairly packed with people. The
elrercises were substantially the same with
the addition of a Charade. On both evenings
all the Sabbath School children were ad-
mitted free and generously suppli with
ice cream. The Society must have cleared a
handsome sum for the treasury.
More Accidents to Boys.
A young boy named Brown, son of a tailor
living on Chapel street, fell from a cherry
tree on the Clark place, opposite the Congre-

He was thought to be seriously injured and
was taken home on a truck, but was out
again on Sunday.
The same day, at Mr. Selleck’s School, two
boys, Harry Redmond and Marshall Perry,
sustained fractures of the arm, while playing
in the gymnasium. Both are able , to be
around. Don’t tempt the laws of gravitation
too. severely, boys.

King of the Lawn.

The manufacturer puts-.-ferth the following
claims in regard to its superiority over all
other machines now in the market l—lst, Its
cheapness; 2d, Its construction; 3d, Its
working qualities. The points are well taken

tained. We used it on a lawn never before
from ten to twelve inches in height, and
found it easy to work. As its working parts
. are entirely protected it is impossible to clog,
It is Composed of the least number of pieces
of any machine now in use; two large cogg
wheels, into which the reel fits, and the driv-
ing wheels. There is no pin to get out of
piece; no spring to wear; no. nut to loosen,
in its working parts. It is put together so as
to Work almost noiseless. The open reel is a;
decided advantage over the fan reel, as' the
blows the grass from the cutting, bar, causing
the short growing clover grass to be passed
over uncut. The mechanical parts are under
during the Centennial Exhibition, and had
an opportunity to see the working of difier-
en: machines entered for trial. Send to Mr,
Cotter for circular, stating price, etc. '

Among the fourteen Democrats in Congress
who voted against the resolution which was
intended to give peace and confidence to the
nation and to deprive the Potter investigation
of its revolutionary character, we are sorry to
see the name of Hon. Levi Warner, re resen-
tative from this district. We think t t the
better class of voters throughout the district,
irrespective o‘fvparty, will unite in the opin-
ion that Mr. arner made a mistake in thus
utting himself on record in favor ‘of revo-
- ation—Bridgeport Standard. .
Warner votéd both ways on the Silver Bill, so
as to be right half the time. It is but fair to
suppose that he expected another chance to
have done, bud not the opportunity of voting
on the otherlside also, failed him in this in-
stance. He voted wrung the first sound, of
course, from a sort of natural instinct.

each person after reciting placed a branch of

Wednesday, June 25th and 26, and Thursday
the 27th until 12, noon. The Doctor is ac-
knowledged to be the most reliable clairvoyo
ant now before the public, and possesses
wonderful healing powers. To those who
have tried other'physicians and failed to find
relief, I would say that whlle there is life
there is hope, and the right physician may be
found at last. The Doctor is constantly cur-

Important to Consumptives.
I: is said' Dr. S. D. Howe, (now stopping
at the Norwalk Hotel), celebrated for- the
remarkable cures, he has made with the Ara-
bian Milk Cure, Tonic and Pills, especially
of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrah, 8.10.,
has during the la'sfi‘80 years examined not
less than 50,000 patients. This great practi-
cal ?experience, ,‘must‘ certainly, give the
Doctor the advantage over the average family
physician. The doctor does not claim to
raise the dead‘ nor work miracles, but believes
80 consumptives out of every 100 can be re.
stored to comparative health by proper Hy-
gienic care, and a regular use of his Arabian
tpreparations. Persons having the least sus-
picion of their lungs being weak,- should not
fail to have the'advice of Dr. H. for which
there will be no charge whatever, but for a
thorough examination with the Repirator,
(from which you me expect to learn the
exact state of your ealtb), the charge will
be $2.00. which includes two bottles of the
needed medicines. Dr.
cures all other diseases of the Liver Kid-
neys, Heart, Nerves, Debility, Female Weak-
ness, etc. He remains only a few days
more, call and see him. He comes highly
endorsed by some of the first Physicians and
Clergymen of New York and other cities.
Youwill find him a gentlemen worthy of
respect'and confidence, and he has already
made many friends in our city—Sentinel.
