erats that the last named subject should be

to with remarkable fidelity. A new Con
gress and a new Administration may bo
chosen with special refeicnra to their abili
ty to deal with questions Whoso discussion
is now obstinately rr-iresscd, but very few
members of the present Houso will bo able
to claim re election on the ground that they
haye shirked no Issuo In which tho people
wcro vitally Interested,
Tho new National Observatory) which
ought to be a monument of scientific skill)
promises, before it Is even begun) to becotno
a monumental job. The selection of it eitb
and of an architect were placed in the hands
of Admiral ilodgers, chief of the Observa
tory) Representative Morse, of Boston, and
Senator Whyto, of Maryland, The Admi
ral, of couise, dosircs the site to be tho fittest
possible from a scientifio point of view, and
the aichitcct t) bo a man of established rep
utation, but the other commissioners appear
to euro more about favoring somebody in
whom they are interested. One wants to
name a Baltimore man for architect and tho
other a Boston man, neither of them being
known to fame or familiar with the peculiar
needs of this work. Then, too, tho selec
tion of a site is a matter of vital importance,
for If tho observatory is plared on ground
which trembles even from passing trams or
vehicles tho extreme accuracy needed In as
tronomical observations becomes impossible.
Accordingly the officers of the observatory
lmvo been engaged for many months in
careful and troublesome observations to test
tho suitableness in this regard of the vari
ous places offered to the commission. But
it seems that tho two commissioners have
agreed upon a spot out near tho Soldiers'
Home, which for tome reason they aro de
termined to press, though it has been showii
to bo unsuitable, as it is subject to tremors
from passing vehicles. If tho two Congress
men insist on their view there ought to bo
an inquiry in tbo Houso or Senate by some
friend of science as to the reason for sucli
gross misconduct. The now observatory
ought to stand for a century or two. It can
not be moved every 1st of May, and Con
gress intended that it should bo placed
In the best situation for its purpose ami that
it should be constructed by architects whose
established reputation should be a guarantee
of good, proper and lasting work. Both
these objects are likely to be defeated.

It Is reported from Silver City, New

by Indians ncarCummingsonSunday,30th

I station keeper, and a number of Mexicans
I were also killed, and that all communication

company of fifty citizens of Silver City, under

eral Hatch a few days ago, but bo told them
"they had better attend to their own busi

I The feeling against General Hatch in New

Tho House ol Representatives, in Com
mittee of tho Whole on tho Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill, got into a first-class
wrangle-last Friday over tho provision in
the bill-to (pay contestants and coutestces of
feats in -Congress. Tho bill, as reported from
the committee, provided lor tho payment of
Mason end Duffy, of New York, and Curtin
and Yoeum, ol Pennsylvania, euch $3,000,
and Bradley and Siemens, of Arkansas,
$1,500 each. Mr. Morso, of Massachusetts,
moved to strike out all the amounts, which
wus amended by Mr. Keller, of Ohio, to
strike out only Curtin and Yocum. Keifer
said that vouchers wero filed with the Com
mittee on Elections by Yocum for over
$13,000, and by Curtin forover$15,000. Tho
committee had favored giving each of them
$8,500, and he was himself in favor of giving
Curtin and Yocum $10,000 each. Ho want
d the amounts in tho bill stricken out,
tt they would preclude them from getting
more than $2,000. Clymer 6aid both Cur
I tin and Yocum had notice ot tho law which
j iforbids the payment of more than $2,000 to
a contestant or contestco In an election case,
and If these gentlemen incurred mora it
was oither their necessity or their misfortune.
Mr. Weaver said the law limiting tho amount
to $2,000 was tro-artiyc, and that the testi
mony taken in thofetso of Yocum and Cur
tin was Ukcu before the law was passed.
After a scene of great confusion in taking
the vote upon these, propositions, it was
finally determined to strike out the names
of Yocum and Curtin, which will leavo
j them free to put in their bills respectively
for $13,000 and $15,000. Yocom voted to
strike out tho $2,000, so as to leavo open to
him the larger sum.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
UUIt WASHINGTON Sl'KUIAI..
Washington, d. O., May 31, 16S0.
While it is certain that Congress will not
not adjourn on Monday next, as attempted,
yet tbo business of both houses has been
shaped so that the last ot next week may
possibly see the end. The Senate has de
voted most of its attention to llio now joint
rule regulating the Electoral Count, and to
legislation relative to election Supervisors.
The supervisors bill tint has been passed
was drawn by Senator Bayard and amend-
I ed somewhat by Senator Thurman. It leg
islate! all tho present incumbents of these
positions out of offico after July Jst, and
keeps them out, and provides that future ap
pointments rnUBt bo confirmed by the Sen
uto. Very likely tbo President will veto
the bill should it pass the House. Senator
I Conkling, In his speech against tho measure,
said that It was particularly aimed at Sup
ervisor Daveuport, ol New York City, and
that the purposo of the Democrat was an
attack upon the safeguards of the ballot-box.
He said they wero just u bad as they ever
were, but had learned wisdom that made
them more quiet and adroit than during
th extra session of last year. Senator Bay
ard ably defended his bill and labored to
I show its perfect fairness.
An unfaillug sign Of the approaching close
of a session of Congrrss is tho comparing of
note as to the "record" of the two parties.
Without questioning the Justico of what lias
been said about tto Democratic disposition
to dodge the discussion of sundry important
questions, it must bo admitted that neither
party can claim much credit on tbs score of
courageouiHeallng with really vital phases
of national politico. The people have not
forgotten the ridieutous devices resorted to
by the leaders on both sides of the House to
stave oil a vote on tbo resolutions introdue-

Washington, May 31, 1880.
The national capital presented a gala ap
pearance on Saturday last, the occasion be
ing tho decoration of tho graves of Union
rSrrtdicrs, under tho auspices of the Grand
Army of tho Republic, Department of the
Potomac. Tho day was all that could be
wished, tho air being delightfully cool, with
gentle winds. Tho day was generally oh
served as a holiday. Tho government de
partments and district offices were closed,
and tho hankers and most of tho business
population suspended their usual vocations.
Flags were displayed at half mast from nil
tho government buildings, the hotels and
other prominent places. A new feature of
Memorial Day was tho morning parade of
tho military and the G. A. It., which was
witnessed by large crowds of people along
tho route of tho procession.
So many members of tbo Senate and Houso
of ttepiesentntives have left tho city that it
would not bo at all surprising if a quorum
was lacking this week. In fact, last week
it was baiely possible lo get a quorum in the
Houso on some very important votes. Sen
ators Conkling, Logan, Carpenter, Hoar,
Jones, of Nevada, and others of the leaders
of tho Scnutc,aro already away. Tho prom
incut Republicans in tho House, including
Garfield, Conger, Frye, Keifer, Butterworth
etc., have also turned their faces in the di
rcction of Chicago. Other members hav
gono to their homes to look after their re
nominations. All who have gone have
mado pairs. In some cases there is a reser
vation that the pairs aro not to be respected
But ho pairs will, no doubt, bo pret
ty rigidly respected, because if Congress re
mains in session until tho Cincinnati Con
mention, as now seems probable, tho Demo
crals will want tho Republicans to return
the compliment.
The Board of Regents ol the Mount Ver
non Ladies' Association met on Wednesday
last in annual session to "look over the
grounds, inspect accounts and make arrange
meiita for tho incoming year." Madame
Bergmanu Laughton, president, and about
six ladies, responded to their names. Tho
council room, wherein the Regents met,
next the family dining room and was oc
cupied by Washington as a librarv. Over
the mantel hangs a fine portrait of Miss Cun
ningham, the first regent tho association ever
knew. It represents her as u mild featured;
pleosant-looking lady. She was devoted;
heart and soul, to the success of an enterprise
whose inception was in her very activ
brain. In this apartment aro quaint-look
ing chairs, an embroidered screen, a curiously-carved
buffet, brass andirons and fender.
Tbo council table, belonging to tbo brother
ot our first president, is covered with cloth
drapery, in each corner of which is cmbroi
t-red tho Washington coat of arms. The
council meets yearly in May or Juno, and
on tho last day of tho session the advisory
board, appointed by tho ladies, meet with
tho board of visitors, appointed by the State
of Virginia to overlook the condition of tho
cstato and make report if the terms of pur
chase can be complied with. A

Tbo Important work of connecting the
stem of triangulation, covering western

Spain, and Algeria. Thus these countries
mvo been united Into one grand tv-tbnt of

manufacture bT ft variety of useful na well as
decorative articles. The new article named
Bousllato," is said lo bo composed princi

compound. By tho addition of various Col
oring pigments, a variety of costly and dec
orative substances, such ns coral, jet, mala

It has been discovered that the addition
of a teaspoonful of borax to each pint of
starch Used in starching shirts, linen, drcss-
etc, will render muslin and all kinds of
fabric, oven the most gauzy find Inflamable
textures uninflamable, to such an extent
:iat they could not be made to take fire and
burn with a blaze. Dr. Kcnzie, of tbo State
Board of health, of Michigan, in a recent
address remarked that if cotton dresses and
underclothing of women and children were
prepared by this simplo method, many dis
tressing accidents and frequent loss of life
from tho accidental ignition of clothing
might bo prevented.
Tho result of experiments extending
through a period of two months, on tho in
tiuenco of the electric light on the growth of
plants, has been reported to the Royal Soci
cicty of London. It is shown that plants do
not require any rest during tho twenty-four
hours, but that their growth may bo matcri-
lly quickened by giving them tho benefit
f tho electric light at night. A light equal
to 1,000 candles, at a distance of 0 or 7 feet
from growing plants, appeared to be equal
n effect to average daylight at this season
of tho year.
Frofessor Frosdocismi,in an ancient ccme
tery lately discovered, near the town of
Este, in Italy, has recently dug up some of
tho finest prehistoric remains ever discover
ed in that country. Many years ago, tho
Romans hud rifled some of the tombs, but a
number of the places of Interment are yet
ndisturbed which contain valuable stores
f pottlcry and bronzes. Tho modelling as
well 03 the ornamentation of tbo pottery re
cently discovered, is said to bo very fine,and
great interest has been excited by the. figures
on the bronzes.
In the excavations being mado for the
widening of the bed of tho Tiber, many in
tercsting archaeological dicovcrics, in tho
way of Roman relies, bavo recently been
made. A perlcct stituo of a Roman matron
was found a few weeks since, and clore by,
another statue of Tiberius, the latter being
broken in several places. Urns, decorated
with reliefs of fruits audiIowers,of fine work
monship, ana many otber articles, unique
and ancient, were also discovered.
It is stated that the soft bluestone rock

The largest grain- elevator in tho world is
being erected at Jersey City, by tho Penn
sylvania Railroad company. It is 145 ftet
wide, 200 lect long, and has a capacity for
storing 1,500,000 bushels of grain. Tho
building will have twenty-four sets of ele

and four "conveyors" will run from the
building to the wharf for unloading canal

In many parts of Southern Europe a flour
is made from chestnuts, which is said dot

There were two women In the party, and
they suggested that tho best thing to be
done would bo to burn down the houso with
tho dead bodies. Tho women gathered
lcayes and straw, carried them into tho
kitchen, poured keroseno over them, and
set them on fire. One of tho women threw
a pot of old pennies into the flames, saying
that it would but do to take all tho money,
but that soino must be found in the ruins in
order to avert suspicion. A later search was
madc,and a number of old coins wcro found,
but these did not allay the suspicion, because
it was proven that a larger amount should
have been found if the firo had boen an oc
cidental one. Tbo Commissioners of the
county therefore took an active interest in

Lyon, In disguise, mingled freely among

tinger, Uriah Moyer, and Mary Hartley, on
charge of being implicated in tho nurder of
an agod couple in Snyder county on Dec.
8, 1877. At last advices by telegram, the
detective was on his woy to Snyder county
from Michigan, where the (trresU were made
on Tuesday last.
Up to Dec. 8, 1877, John KIntzler, aged
73, and his w'fe, Grctchcn KIntzler, aged
75, lived in Adams township, Snyder ooun-
ty. They had lived there about fifty ycors
They bad no children. They owned a farm
often acres, and had accumulated, it is sup
posed, J-2,500. This money they had secro
ted lu their houso, under the carpets, under
rafters in tho garret, in cracks and 'n simi
lar places from tho roof to the cellar. All
tho bank notes they received they iiad ex
changed for silver nnd copper coin. Tills
soon became noised about tho neighborhood,
and became known to the lawless class who
lived there. KIntzler was frequently ad
ylsed to deposit his money In some bank.
but he replied that what littlo he bad was
as safe with him as any wliero else.
On Saturday night, Dec. 8, 1877, bis house
was burned down, and ou Sunday morning
following the charred skeletons of the aged
couple were found among the embers.
thorough search was made among the ashes,
but no money was found. After a careful
investigation a coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that the Klntzlers had been mur
dered and robbed, and their bouse burned
down to conceal tho crime. Six mouths af
terwards a nurnbor of lawless persons who
lived in the neighborhood were arrested,
but they were discharged for want of suffi
cient evidence to hold them, In April of
this year Detective Lyons, who bad been
working up the cose In that neighborhood,
discovered a clue which led to au informa
tion being laid before Justice of the Peace
