The recent election for Conucllman in the Third Word, Easton, resulted In n tie vote between J. S. llodenbough, Ito publican, nnd V. H. Wolvertou, Demo oral. Not counting one of these as a member, Council stands leu Itepublicu s nud ten Democrats, hence whichever patty gains the contest will have the ma jority In the body. Ou SUtnrday the Court granted a rule ou W. II. Wolyer ton, to show cause why Mr. Ilodeubough be not declared elected. The counsel are II. C. Stewart and Morris Kirkpat rick. Monday it transpired that the Democrats hud engaged B. F. Fackenth nil and H. W. Seolt to defend their case, nnd some interesting developments nre awaited. The argument will b hai to day (Saturday). The Third Ward has heretofore been largely Democratic. It Is scarcely agreeable to think that the cockronoh could ever becomo an ac tive agent in medicine. Yet it is used almost universally In Ilusslans a lis lo eertain, diseases nnd it is nlso fr - qnentlj used lu i.uiopean meuical prao- tice as a cure for Brigbt's disease. The Prefessir of Materia Medica in Jefferson College recently stated that cockroaches nre not entirely unknown iu tho medical practice iu Philadelphia, though physic ians do not care to have it known that they prescribe so unpopular an insect in their practice, and few druggists will ac knowledge that they keep it in stock. The Professor says that cockroach tea may be used with good eflcct iu certain cases. Its medical properties resemble those of cantharides, and when pres cribed it is iu the shape of a pill, made with tho powder of the dried insect. The cockroach is no more offensive than the cantharides, both being of the same class of insect, and tho smell is not so objec tionable as that of the Spanish fly. Leioh I'tjnt, Superintendent of Sehools in Des Moines, has adopted a plan of giving practical instruction in earning and saving money. In the first place he encouraged all the children to open bank accouuts, nud to learn how lo do business at n lauk. Boys with rich fathers, boys with poor fathers, and boys without fathers or mothers were in cited to earn money in honest and man ly ways. They black hoots, deliver pa pers, shovel snow from sidewalks, nnd carry in coal. Not a few are learning trades during their odd hour-, and many have tools which they work with it home. Those who are doing mecbani cal work that requires considerable skill meet and cempare the articles they have invlc. There is a friendly rivalry to see which will have the largest bank account ml furnish the bekt specimens of handi work. The work out of school is said to have a good effect ou tho work done in school. The boys are getting a reputa, lion for thrift, skill, and economy as well is for scholarship, As predicted several dtys ago Seuator Davis has tendered his rtslgeatlon of the oHoe of President pro tempore of the Bsnate, to take eflect to-day. This step was taken after consultation with lead- iug Republican nud Democratic Siua tor, and indicates that soiuu Uepublicau Senator wbea term w ill not expire before March, J883, will be elected to succeed Mr. Davis without opposition. Senator .Edmunds will probably be chot-ju. Sun ator Anthouy has been talked of, but hU term expires to-morrow, which fact dU qualifies him as a candidate in tho pres, cut situation. In consequence, of tho ac tlon of Judge Davis, there will be an election of his successor to-day (3rd list.,) the Senate thus avoiding n special 1 Boston. Oao other result w.ll be that time will be no change in the Seuutu official corps uutil uext December, to the great disappointment of G irham and hU friends, and the iutenso disgust of Messrs. Mabone and HiddUberger, who will rjot countas important factors In the organization until neit Winter, At the Baptist ministers' meeting in New York, Monday, tho Rev. Harvey Wood, of England, who has just returned from Leadvllle, alter resigning the pas torate of the Leadvillo Baptist Church, said: "When you ask me to speak about Ladville you give me a big text. Brief ly, my experience as a pastor was this: When I was invited to accept the pastor ate in Leadvllle I was informed by Utter that there were 130 members in the ,cblU0b .tbAMbe church building would seal 500 persons, nud thnt n pnnonepe v?iin ready for uio.

As I did not believe that poiititllug and expounding go together ou Snuday, I went out just before tl e permon nnd asked the blacksmith to stop. The blacksmith told mo to go to n placo considerably warmer than Florida, nad added .that he was working for a member of my church. And sure enough, there stood the Treasurer of the church having his horse tbod. Gambling Is licenced, and so is rum. List year SGG.OOO was paid for rum licenses, nud $10 a table in the gambling bells. I did my level best to get some of my people to go kto some of these gambling places, but thpy were afraid, for murder Is an c very-day affair. I went into many places, nnd I think Leadvllle is tho wickedest town on earth." Our Washington Letter. From orjn Srncut ConrtKsroNiiKNT. Washington, D. 0., Feb. 24, 1883. The Senate Committee on Commerce took final action on the shipping bill yesterday nud ordered n favorable report to be mado upon It. The Committee bnve amende! the bi'l by striking out the thirteenth section, which delegated to the collectors of ports the duties now pi-romed by theshipfing commissioners, and have also ndded a section which authorizes the Postmaster General to contract for tbo carti.igo of mails in orran steamships of American register, prcvid d hat he shall pay not exceeding one dtlhvr per mile lor Mich eerire, nnd pro- vidtd thu gross amount to be paid for tub. service shall not exceed $1,5(J0,000 per annum. Due notice is to bo given by advertisement, and the contracts nre to be nwnrt'ed to the lowest bidder, re gardless of the size of the vessels, only provided that the vessel Is of American register, nnd owned and run by Amcti cms. The section nlso contalt-s u pro vision that n drawback, equal to the amount of the duty, shall be allowed ou nil foreign materials imparted nnd used in the construction or repair ef American vessels. The bill as amended will prob ably be reported In tho Senate to-day. The National Association of School Superintendents to-day adopted resold lions in favor of the federal government giving nid to tho several States "so that nil children within their borders, shall receive at least an elementary education. A committe consisting of Messrs.

The productiveness oflhe persons employed in farming varies burprisingly, The highest productiveness appears in the Padua Stttes, where 110,807 persons ergaged iu agriculture in 1879 produced staples worth $75,811. 422, orSC85 toeich person engaged in the business. The next highest in tho list are tho four Mid die States, New York, Peunsylvania,New Jersey and Delaware, whery 755,033 per sons raised crops to the value of $313, 757,272, or $151 to each pcisou. The Western or Mississippi Valley States come next in order, with 2,316.511 per, sons producing crops worth $913 960,052, or $389 to each worker. New England's poor soil and worse climate cut her pro ducts down so that 301. 815 farm workers produce only $103,313,5G0, or $312 each But the astonishing result is lu the South, Here 4,070,915 laborers produce values aggregating $756,391,308, or only $185 each. The usual celebration In honor of Washington's birthday, took place ou Humility. The publio ouices were closed, and nisi a good portion ofpriv ate onslness houses. Flags nre flyiim patriotically from prominent buildings, and the only phcu where patriotio senti meui una to give uny to business was nt the Capitol, as the expiring Congress has no time to spare for festivities. Th day was observed by the oldest inbabi tants in the old-fashioned way, and military parade wus planued tor the af ternoon It is more than probable that, ns n con scqneLce of Rerdell turning S-atr'seii deuce, ex-Senator Dorsey will he called r.s a witness by the defense.

WasutsGToN Feb. 20, 1883 It is scarcely orlh while to speak of what Congress is doing, lor the tariff question still occupies almost the entire lime of both boubts, nnd at the present stage the situatirn to-day may he widely changed to-morrow. Tuere is nt this moment a geuernl feeling that possibly the Seuate bill may bo passed uefero the end, if tbo iron iutirestLavebeeu placat, ed us reported. It is also confidently ns. serted that a bill roduumg the whisky tax to fifty cents will be put through at the last moment, together with the bank tax repeal. It Uwhistisred also that one ofthesofiue days the Southern Pacific mtltt'av .nn tr.HHnltnt, cnl.uitiA la nnltin In j v-,v....-..w- -v. bv,vh . be slid through Congress, Next to the millions of acres of publio land this woild enable tho combluatlou to gobble the meat in that legislative cocoanut lu sectlou i, wbicb provides, that "the right to fix, from time to time, as the puoiio tmerm my require, iue rales ior carrying passengers nnd freight on the consolidated road Is hereby reserved 10 Oorjgrr&s." That clause takes It out of the power of the half dozen or more States through which the consolidated rends will run to meddlo with the rales, and concentrates the power In Congress. The Pacifio railwHy combination has heretofore found it u comparatively easy matter to defeat hostile legislation In Congress, nud It had rnther take chances there than to buy up state legislatures. These state commissioners nre giving the railway companies no end ol trouble, nnd In tbo near future you will see them coming to Congress for protection. Then it will be worth tho while of a thrift) man to bo a Congressman. This tariff thing Is becoming unendur able. The Senators andR-prr seutatlves, for nil they talk so knowingly on the floor of Congress, when ontside acknow ledge that they know bext to nothing about it. They can do nothing but fly down to tho bureau of statistics, nnd the driven nnd overworked clerks say that if there is nu extrn session of Congress noil the tariff continues to be tbo subject of debate there will bt nothing lei t lor them but to behead the chief of tho bu- an, set firo to He building, burn all the statistics nnd themselves perish in the flumes. Every Monday morning the six dny' go-n-you-pleane talking match begins. It ia bad enough in the House, where debstd can bo choked off, but wheu it encounters the frigid atmosphere of the Senate, wbe.ru s trntorial courtesy obliges tlieni to listen to fourteen vol nmcs of talk from every mnn there with out any resource buta motion to adjourn ll is enough lo make Senator Hoar use bed words. The fights in the House en liven things a little, nnd Mr. Haskell h nnd Mr. Townsend's wordy wnr was on oasis of excitement in n desert of dull ness; but in these times there isn't any. body left iu the Senute hardly that can Irritate opposition, aud thtre will be fewer still after tho 4th of March. For however well the millionaires may im ngino tbey will look iu their senatorial chairs, they really look like just what they are vulgarly rich nnd severely commonplace. The galleries have been well filled the whole session. There are two reserved galliries in the Senate kuown ns the Democratic and Republi can naileries, where ladies of the same political faiths congregate. The pres. ence of the gentler sex is informally recognized, as it were at the Capitol. Two pretty rooms ore set apart for them in the north wing, wherein tho, foot of man has never yet profanely entered. They open directly into the gallery and command one of the fiuest views from the Capitol. They are very quaint and pretty.lhe windows being deeply recessed and really square port-boles high up from the floor. Comfortable lounges nnd chairs nre spread around and one may even take a nap between times. The restaurant in the basement has also room where ladies unattended may get lunch, Senator David Davis' approaching marriage has been the subject of dispute among bis most intimato friends. A number of them have denied the possl bility of such a marriage with such em phasis as to givo their-denials an nir of authority. A denial telegraphed from Illinois the other day came from the Senator's principal business partner. Naturally these denials from people holding such intimate relations with the Senator have had an effect. The real truth of the matter is tbo judge is natur ally very reticent about his privato af fairs. He has not yet notified any one outside of his family of his upproaching marriage. The fact, however, of the marriage is now unquestioned. J'idge Davis will go to North Carolina immedi ately after adjournment and marry Miss A E. Barr, who lives near Fayetteville, in that State. The wedding will be a private one. After ths wedding the uevly-married pair will go to California for a several weeks' visit, ' The operatio cyclone bus struck Wosh- ington thin week. Ou3 can hear Patti warble for $7. Tho seats are $7 for arm chairs, $5 for first gallery nnd something less for the second gallery. The lower bnxi-s are offered for $150 the season. There was a great rush of wealthy journ alists for thine boxes, but unfortunately there were not enough to go around, and most of them had to put up with nine or ten $7 seats for each evening. The nov elty of not being iu $150 boxes will com' pensate them, however, for going into tbo Democratic, orchestra-chairs and dress circle. Dom PjlSbo. Our New York Letter. Regular correspondence of Advocate. Nkw York, Feb. 27, 1883. A rnther singular aud let us hope for the sake of humanity, improbable rumor hss made its nppcarance apropos of the panic in the German Catholic School on Fourth Street. It Is claimed that the firo which caused the disastrous alarm was not tho result of au accident, but the work of a fiendish Inceudl.iry, and that the villain was a member of the Socialists and Ci.inmnnists whoso headquarters is in tho Geiiuin section e.f tho city. One of the sisti rs claims that when she came out of her sehool-rorni niter the alarm had been giveu she was knocked down by a slrange man who was in tbo corri dor at the tlme.Hnil the fiist of the would- be rescuers.nbo rushed lutothe building and did so much barm that they could not have done worse hud they tried. The poltcs nre quietly working up themitter, aud ubonl I it be found to be true it will gi hard with the fiend. These German socialist'.! nre a very bard set, nnd al though tht-v profess to be wouderfully enlightened iu their views, nnd liberal in their ways und Ideas, they us n body (for t lere are of conrsa superior exception-) manage to show as utter hcnrll-jssness aud mental depravity as to fairly horrify one. Wben the fourteen litllo victims of the disaster were burled last Tlinriday.a nun iu the crowd, who was known to be a shining light iu the pnity yelled out, 'msy fiio aud destruction oouie down on everv church, every convent, and every school in charge of the priests and nuns," I and the bystauders in the vicinity took ' Hits n . a null.. r a-. .. . rvi. ,u,- BA tuaiiG, u uijuito. iuo rumor alluded to above may not be true, but the source to which the alleged crime is I attributed is so thoroughly bad that it Is readily recivej credenoe among the non- ; eommuuutio residents of "Little Ger- rainy." An tnterestlDB literary event ii the publication of tho correspondence be tween Emerson and Carlyle by the Oj- goods. This Is the most remarknble book that has been issued this year, nnd al though it did not make its appearance until Saturday, yt I nm (old that the edition has right well been taken up. Strange, how these two men admired olo nuothcr.nml yet they seemingly had noth ing in common but their love of the iruo and tbo goo 1. Yet hero in these simple unadorned letters we seo how these two minds the one cynic, dyspeptio nnd com bative and the other calm, serene and loving, yet had points of contact and thereby clung together with nil tbo fond ness that mutual admiration ri the high est order can iusplro nud mutual esteem cemeut. The Letters" are among the most remarkable contributions to the Literary History of this oentrry, nnd in addition to tbnt they nro n perfect store bouse of facts nnd gossips about somo of the most leading men who shaped the affairs of England nnd America during the last half ceuturv. Ex-Governor Tilden'a new house in town for that it practically is is rapid y approaching completion. Something over a year ago Mr. Tilden decided to transform his two fine bouses, Nos. 13 nnd 15 Gr.i mercy Park into one, and pro posed to expend about $50,000 for that purpose. The work has been going on siuce then, but the expenditure already tools up nearly 52U0.000. The new structure is not one of those pretentious nnd showy affairs which the Vnnderbilts, the Californlnns nnd the nouvenux riches generally nffect, but it shows general good taste and familiarity with archltec lure. The main style is Gothic. although the excellences of every other known style of architecture are introduced. Ti e house has a frontage of CO and a depth of 110 ,'oct. On a basis of Jersey brown stone rises the superstructure of delicate pink Scotch sandstone. Narrow belts of highly polished Maine granite unite the two. The main entrance which is the Governor's old house is a fine specimen of architectural design. Four columns of polished Maine granite support tbo porch. On tho columns rest four half length figures representing the seasons of the year. They uphold a graniteslnb forming the roof of the porch. Two bay wiudows run np to the third floor, and between U a panel of brown stone, in the centre of which is cut the head of Benjamin Franklin, The heads ol Shakespeare, Milton, Goethe aud Dante, occupy the four corners. Stained glass windows will admit the light in all the lower floors, nnd some of these nre mar vels of this revived art. The interior ia finished throughout in hardwood, and particuhrly tfce library is being fitted up with all that a quiet aud refined taste can suggest. Mr. Tilden has not exactly' n large or a rare library. It contains about twenty thousand volumes, but outside of bis law books, it contains a largo number cfvaluablo rare volumes immeasurably useful to tho student. There nre no curiosities there simply for the sake of being curious, everything must have a purpose The Poll-Kernochnn escapade, the se cret marriage and nbrnpt departure of two of the shining lights of oiii so-calcd society. Mr. Henry Pell and MUs Katheriue Kernochau has afforded plenty of material for good wholesome Lenten gossip to their comrades within the charmed circle which imports its maimers from England. Now, however tbis little romnnco will end as usual with the killing of the fatted calf and the utterance of the conventional "Bless yon, my cbildion," on the part of the irate parent, Dr. Kcrnocban. Thoyoung couple have hied themselves to Rnncocas the far famed stud farm and couutry seat of Mr. Pierre Lorillard, the uncle of the bride, aud there they nre weathering the storm. 1 nm told by somebody well uc quaiuted with the circumstuuccs of the whole affair that iu about two weeks tbey will return, nnu meanwhile their friends and they have many are at lending to the feeding of the choice young heifer whose career is to end on tbeir return. The whole objection of Dr. Kernochan to Mr. Pell, is that in ad dition to being somewhat fast, rapid as tbey call it now his blood is but ap proaching a very light blue. Iu the slaug of Wall Street he Is nickel plate. Now Dr Kernochan is au aristocrat of the darkest of dark blue blood, aud looks down upon such new applicants for admission to (he ranks of the Ameri can peerage, I believe his ancestors sold fish about tho same time that the found er of the house of Astor peddled matches, and the original Stnyvesant mended his own leather breeches. The Electrical light in a very short time will supersede gaslight to a great extent in private honses. It is already in use in a number ot fine e stablishments, ami the absence of heat generated by the current, has been found to be a gratify ing change from gas. Iu ball rooms this is invaluable. In one or two of the bouses, alluded to, the light is filtered through colored glass aud the effect Is charming indeed. The application ot" electricity to photography ia rapidly gaining in favor, and the improvements iu the methods of taking pictures by the electric light are keeping up steadily. Wien first likenesses were taken with the cold white light between the carbon points, the pictures were apt to be harsh and lack that nice distribution of light und stiaele as well as that warmth of fin. ish which are maiu esscutiala to the per fect photograph. I was shown some pictures Ihe other day, which were won. deifully good and could scarcely be dls tiuguishtd by even the most experienced eye from those ti.keu by tbo aid of sun light. The old light-houso at Thogg'a Neck in Long Island Sound, familiar to travel ers on the Rhode Island, Stouingtou and other Sound Steamers, is to be pulled down, nud another one substituted in Ha place under an appropriation of $10,000 Irom Congress for that purpose. It was established iu 1820, ud since then hss guided many an anxious mariner through the difficulties of the channel extending from Hell Gate nrouud. It consists of a wooden tower, sixty feet high, and shows a whito light of the filth order visible eleven nautical miles away. The stmctuie is rotten and unsafe for the keeper and ought to havo been removed years ago. At the same time by its re moval we will lose another interesting lindmark. Tbogg'gKtck in the vlciuity of the light-house used to be a rendevoui for gunners up to about Uu years ago, nnd beforo that many were the ptiro fights nnd chicken fights fought will in tbo shadows of the old lamps wblih guided the pilot fifty years ngo. INCREASED PENSIONS. WiSHiKOTON, February 28. The Senate spent mnet of the day and a good portion of the night on the bill to Increase th the pen sions of one armed and oue-lrgced soldiers. Mr. Mitchell eatd that when the bill passed the House It wus stated that the Increase would amount to $1,500,000. The Senato committee estimated It at over $500,000 more. A motion to Indefinitely postpone was voted down, 10 to 31. A1I torts of speeches were made anil all sorts of amend ments were voted down and finally a sub stitute offered by Mr. I'lntt was adopted. Tho final vote on the passage of the hill was 27 to 14, and tho Seuate nt 10.30 ad journed. The bill as passed is In tbe following language: "That from nnd after the patsnge of Ihe art all prrsmis on tbn pnilmi roll, and all persons herenfier granted a pension, who while in the military ur naval service of the United States and in the line of duly shall have lost one hand or one foot, or been lot ally or permanently disabled in tbe tame or otherwise so disabled as to render their Inconaeitv to perform manual labor equiv alent to the loss of a hand or a Toot, shall receive a pension of twenty-four dollars per month; that all persons now on the pen sion roll and all peisons hereaflrr cranio I n pension who in llko manner shall have been lost either an arm at or above the elbow or a leg at or above the knee, or shall have otherwise so disabled as to be incapacitated for performing any manual labor, but not so mucn as to require regular am aim at tendance, shall receive a pension ol $30 per month; provided that nothing contained in this act shall be construed to repeal section 4,01)9 of the revised statutes of the United Stales or to change the rate of $18 per month therein mentioned lo be proportion alelv divided for any desires of disability established for which section 4,CU5 makes no provision NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
