In the Senate, petitions were presented in regard to the liquor traffic, inquiring the power of Congress in the matter; asking legislation in regard to the traffic iu Itulian children: for the repeal and against the repeal of the bankrupt tlaw. In regard to the latter, Conkling and Logan mentioned the fact that circulars had been sent over the country soliciting signatures, and Logan said, the statements in these circulars that there was a lobby in Washington working for the repeal of the law, were untrue; and he charact erized the circulars as blackmailing documents. A resolution requesting the Presideut to communicate to the Senate any information in his posessiou relative to the occupation of Indian Territory by bodies of men in violation of the treaty stipulation, was passed. The consideration of the bill to repeal the act of March 3d, increasing salaries, was then rresumed, and question recurred on Trait's amendment, which provides that tho pay for the balauce of this Congress shall be such an amount as lo make the total, with that already received, 10,000, $5,000 for each year. The ameudmeut was rejected by forty-fiv- e nays to fourteen yeas. In the House, (he bill to establish an educational bureau and apply the proceeds of the sale of public lands to the education of the people, was taken up. Kasson opposed the bill on the ground that it proposed to take the control of the question of education from States, and to call into exercise new powers on the part of the Federal government. Butler, of Tenn., favored the bill. The message of the President to the Senate, withdrawing the nomination of .Geo. A. Williams as Chief Justice, states that is done at his own request. Williams remains m office as. Attorney General. The nomination of Col. Bris-tofor the position is, in another brief message consequently withdrawn.

Not long ago the youthful Mr. Charles was 'engaged to manipulate the ivory on a church organ not far from the Hub. At the samo church and upon the same occasion a Unitarian clergyman was engaged tt3 officiate in tho culprit. Both of these gentleman left town the following morning by the same train, and both occupied the same seat, the young organist rccosnizins the clergyman, but himself unknown to the cloth. Passing the, compliments of the morning, the cloth queried whether the young man attended the Unitarian church on the preceding day. Organ said he had that pleasure, and asked Pulpit how he liked the music. Pulpit said the music would have been excellent if the organ had not beeu played in so loud and boisterous a Then old Pulpit asked manner. yiung Organ how he likod the preaching. Organ said, "Not at all ; the preacher was too loud and ranting." A gentleman in the next seat who had listened to the conversation, and knew both parties, turned about and kindly introduced the clergyman to the organist. 7.

"Hlio An anecdote is told of Parson Shute, the first minister settled at South llingham, which for ready wit ought not to pass unrecorded. It appears that the reverend gentleman was very loud of pudding, so at a ministerial meeting one day the hostess, in order to gratify the taste of her guest, had pud ling for dinner. Lnlortunately it came very near the fire while it was cooking, so that when it was served it was extremely hot. The Parson, without allowing it time to cool, placed a piece at once in his mouth, and then followed the usual contortions incideut to such au occasion, but all to no purpose. The pudding would not go, so the Parson, who was a polite gentleman, quietly slipped it out of his mouth and into his coat pocket, all of which was observed by his brother ministers, who for the purpose of a joke, said: J .1 n i .. miHlm. flirt into your pofeket, are you?" "Oh, yes, said the Parson, all unmoved; "I put a little piece in there merely to light my pipe with after dinner." The explanation, it is needless to add, was sufficient. . A Great Scoundrel. Wrestling Joe died in Portlcnd, Oregon, recently. He had notoriety and something of a history, lie was a great rascal in his day, although latterly he has been too old to be much of a scoundrel. He had wives at different points in the west; he once ran off with funds that had been intrusted to him by a firm to buy tobacco; and, in short, his only passable quality was great dexterity in wrestling.' One of his wives moved to Oregon upon leaving him, and,un-de- r au assumed name, took up a sec tion of land upon which a portion of the city of Portland afterward grew up. Before any appreciation in the value of the land had taken place, however, she died and left no clue to her identity. As the property in-eased marvellously in value, several speculative men began a search for the heirs, intending to buy a title to it at a low figure. At last they found Wrestling Joe, and got from him a release from all right in the t state, giving hiui in payment a guaiantee of support during his life. ci Mr. George R.

The recent plan of our enlightened Secretary of the Treasury for resuming specie payments with a teaspoon-fu- l of silver halves and quarters, to be paid out in sums not exceeding as long as they $5 to each lasted, reminds us of au incident said to have occurred at a small faro bauk kept by a colored gentleman in St. Louis at the begiuning of the war. The proprietor, a haughty old house-servafrom Virgiuia, aud who had somehow got his freedom aud had strayed westward, although his capital was small and his banking house a humble shanty in the suburbs, inspired immense awe in the crowd of blacks who came to woo chance under his roof, by wearing a terrible frown, a suit of seedy black, a vast shirt collar, and a ruffled shirt, to which last garment the boldest African mind surrendered at discretion. The stakes, as may be imagined,were exceedingly small, being nicely proportioned to the meager capital of the bank, aud ranging from half dimes to quarter dullars, the last being the highest single bet that was permitted. The son of the proprietor acted as dealer, while his dignified sire paced the room during the evening sessions, and kept a general oversight of the gamesters. One evening a couple of army officers induced their black servant by the present of a small fee to smuggle them into this temple of luck, where whites, wcro not commonly tolerated, and, providing that facile menial with ten silver dollars, instructed him to put them on the ace. . The proprietor, who was absorbed in spelling out the news from the evening paper, had not observed the entrance of tho strangers, nor the queer turn the game bal taken. Presently, however, he lifted his eyes and espied the fabulous pile of specie glittering over the painted cards. For a moment he was struck dumb, but recovering his voice, he cried out in a tone of thunder: "Who put dat money on dat ace'" There was a dead silence. The trembling darkies were all afraid to answer. "Who put dat money on dat ace?" repeated the outraged son of Guinea. .There was still no answer, and he went on.: "Whoever put dat money ou dat ace had better take dat money off dat ace and be dam quick about it, too.
