Nearly 2,000,000 cattle, mostly
young, will be driven from Texas

A device for cheating at cards was
discovered by the San Francisco police
in a room that hud been tised by poker
players. It was a small brass frame
for holding extra cards, so made as to
be fastened in the sleeve ahd slid
down into the right hand by pulling a
string with the left hand. Then the
needed card could be extracted with'
out detection and afrerward pulled up
into the sleeve again.

change, and demanded five more.
The barkeeper explained that the

of drinks. The countryman drew a
revolver, declared that he wouldn't be

A man in St. Paul took out a life
insurance policy for $5,000, one of the
printed conditions being that the
company need pay nothing if he com
mitted suicide. Ho became insane,
and killed himself. His widow sued
for the $5,000 on the ground that, being
driven to self-slaughter by insanity, a
disease, does not constitute a violation
of the suicide clause, which can be
applied to criminal self-distruction
only. The Minnesota Supreme Court
decides for the widow.

A pio eating match between two
notoriously voracious men was con
tested in St. Louis. One had a wide
mouth, ponderous jaws, an appetite
sharpened by 24 hours of fasting, and
was naturally the favorite before the
start. The other was manifestly a
dyspeptic, and his appearance was
against him. Hot apple pies of a uni
form size were used, and the man who
ate most in a half an hour was to be
the winner. The favorite led for
twenty minutes, swallowing eigh pies
in that time, andlcaviug his competitor
a pie and a half behind ; but at that
juncture he choked and was compelled
to rest. The dyspeptic kept steadily
' at work, closing the gap, and then
forged ahead. At the conclusion of
the half hour he was half through his
thirteenth pie, while the favorite was

Washington Letter.
From our regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, March 22nd.
The 46th Congress is now assembled
in extra session. It was a pretty close
shave with our Democrat friends In
organizing the House of Representa
tives, but they pulled through by the
skin of their teeth, as It were, and
Sam Randall once more wields the
gavel and controls the deliberations of
the iopular branch of Congress a
position second only to that of Presi
dent of tho United States. The oppo
sition to Randall In the ranks of his
party was very pronounced, and atone
time seemed likely to be sufficient to
defeat him in the caucus, but his
superior skill at political wire pulling,
with n combination of favorable cir
cumstances, saved his bacon. It may
be claimed as a Tilden victory, or a
hard-money, victory; but In my
opinion It is neither. The only real
issues that entered into the contest
among the Democrats were Randall
and anti-Randall, and tho question
whether the party deemed it exedient
to place au ex-Con federate In the chair.
The question was settled by the ex
Confederates themselves mostly voting
in favor of a northern man.
Tho proceedings in organizing were
tame enough, and hardly repaid the
crowds who filled the galleries and
corridors almost to suffocation. It
was one o'clock when the election of
Speaker was proceeded with. Mr.
Clymer nominated Samuel J. Randall;
Mr. Frye nominated Hon. James A.
Garfield, and Rev. Gilbert De La
Matyr nominated Hon. Hendrick B.
Wright, of Pennsylvania. When the
name of Bradley Barlow, of Vermont,
was cnllcd, he voted for Judge Kelley,
of Pennsylvania. When Blackburn
announced his vote for Mr. Randall it
was met with applause on the Repub
lican side and in the galleries. Judge
Kelley voted for Hendrick B. Wright,
which created something of a sen
sation. Neither Randall, Garfield nor
Wright voted. Randall received 143
votes, Garfield 125, Keley 1, Hendrick
B, Wright 13, showing that 282 mem
bers voted. Just before the vote was
announced Mr. O'Reilly, of New
York, arrived and voted for Mr. Ran
dall, thus giving him 144 votes, which
is a majority of all the votes of the
members elect. Mr. Randall, was
declared elected, and at half-past one
o'clock was conducted to the chair by
Gen. Garfield and Representative
Blackburn. As the three advanced
up the main aisle there was a jyo
longed applause. Judge Kelley being
the oldest member in continuous ser
vice, administered the oath to the new
Speaker. Among the new faces
which attracted the most attention
were those of ex-Secretary Robeson,
who occupied a seat in the last row on
the Republican side; Gen. Joe John
son, of Virginia, who sat to Hie left of
the main aisle, and Godlove S. Orth, of
Indiana. Mr. Blackburn's desk was
literally covered with flowers. One
conspicuous floral present was a mag
nificent basket, having his initials in
the center, made of violets. There
was also a grand pyramid of flowers
on Speaker-elect Randall's desk. The
Senate proceedings were dry and un
interesting, though witnessed by a
large crowd. The reorganization of
the committees was about all that was
done.
The chief topic of interest here just
now is the widow Oliver's breach of
promise suit against the venerable
Simon Cameron, now in progress.
Gen. Butler appears as Cameron's
chief counsel, and there is always an
expectant crowd gathered together
when Butler has anything to say or to
do. The impression seems to be that
the General wiM make it lively for the
festive widow before he gets through
with the case. She claims that Simon
promised- to marry her and make
things comfortable for her generally,
and, with that understanding, he was
granted privileges which; he shouldn't
have had. In support of this eTaim
she presents, among other things, two
or three rather dubious love letters.
The naughty old man, on the contrary
thinks it is a case of blackmail, and
says he has already paid her $1,000
rather than have a fuss about it. To
make it still more warm for the widow,
they present in court Mr. Thos. M.
Oliver, who was once supposed to be
her husband, and who is now alive
and well. This complicates matters
considerably, as it is hard to under
stand how Mrs. Oliver lias been
damaged by the refusal of an old man
like Cameron -to marry her, when she
already had a husband alive and well,
and a better looking man, anyhow.
The Post-office Department has
ruled that a paper started recently by
a Arm, with the intention of adver
tising its business precisely as any
other firm advertises its business in
its own long-established journal, can
not be admitted to the mails at pound
rates though the older paper may be.
By this decision the Department says
the act, if of long continuance, suffices
to remove the bar which it will impose
upon the beginner, because the original
as well as the present, intention is
swallowed up by the act, it being a
pecuniary success. The new enter
prise, in not having reached the point
of true profit, like certain papers and
magazines published by the large
firms of New York, in which are ex
tensively advertised their own bus
iness matters, has no right to the
mails, except by paying transient
rates of postage. This may be law,
but it is so unjust and unequal, and so
much in favor of metropolitan organs,
that we wonder why it is so, unless
the Post-office Department is rnn in
the Interest of papers that are making
money, and deliberately Intends to
discourage the starting of other period
icals by those of limited capital.

The doctrine of personal holiness,
or entire freedom from sin, seems to be
gaining ground in the Methodist
Church. In the Kentucky conference
a few days ago, the venerable Bishop

fifty years a professor of holiness. I
