The question is asked , says the Chicago Tribune , why the smoking of cigarettes is so much more injurious than the smoking of cigars or of tobacco In the pipe. It may be replied that 1. The cigarette Is smoked by many thou sands of boys , few of whom would indulge In the pipe or the cigar. The one Is too clumsy and the other too costly for the average boy. The use of tobacco In any form does far more harm to the person who has not completed the growing process than to the adult. It tends to stunt the growth of the boy , even affecting the texture of the bones as well as of the muscles and skin , and seems to take hold of the system In direct proportion to the activity ot the as similating processes of the frame , which are most rapid la-youth and most feeble in old age. Hence the constitution of the growing boy may be ruined by the smoking of the same amount and same kind of material that could be used with Impunity If the stuff were let alone till an agr which varies with the Individual from 22 to near 30 years. 2. Cheapness being an essential to large patronage by the juveniles , the poorest kinds of tobacco are used In their manufacture , and th * taste and smell have to be disguised by the use of drugs , added to which the juvenile appetite for sweets has to be catered to. Hence the employment ot sugar and glycerine , per haps harmless apart , but forming a noxious coalition when smoked together into the sys tem. Hence , also , the sprinkling of the to bacco with opium infusions to an enormous extent , while the doctoring of cigars with opium Is comparatively rare , and the quan tity used so small as to give but a trace ot the drug to each cigar that is thus doctored. And It may be possible that cheapness ls ob tained or increased In some cases by the use ot other material , jlmson weed being one of the things mentioned. Also the peculiar make of the cigarette It being open at the mouth end gives free access of the noxious material to the system , while a portion Is arrested by the more closely wrapped mouth end of the cigar and In the stem of all but the shortest pipes of the "dudeen" class , 3. The peculiar fashion In smoking the Civilization for Africa. Captain Moore of the brlgantlne Mary Glbbs , which dropped anchor at pier 40 , South wharves. Philadelphia , tells an amus ing story about his last outward trip. It was from Boston to the gold coast of Africa , and hli cargo consisted of New England rum for the savage Inhabitants of that little- visited region. Oddly enough he also took out as passengers two women missionaries , who had been sent out to exert a civilizing end Christianizing influence on these be nighted people. The brlgantlne stopped at thirteen ports to unload the cargo of rum , which was received with wild enthusiasm by the natives , while nobody e ined to want the missionaries. The latter semed discour aged , but. nevertheless , went stoutly to work to counteract the effects ot the rum. Be fore he could tell what success they were bavins the Glbbs sailed for home. FROM THE FIELD OF MARS A Young Jersejnan's Daring Charge Up a Bleep Embankment , FORREST'S ASSASSIN COWED AND KILLED A. Georgian's Hotly Conrerloil Into n Literal 1'ln Cnnlilon Town's Soldiers' ntnl Sailors' Monnmrnt Stniiigr In- clilcnU of the War. On June E , 1SC3 , the Second brigade ot the Second division of the Sixth army corps was opposite Deep Hun , two miles from Falmouth" . It was a bright , sunny day. A Florida brig ade was cnscouscd In the rifle pits on the op poslte side of the river. A United States battery took a position on the bank of the river on a dead level with these pits. There was furious cannonading , no guns from the confederates making any reply. In fact , they had no guns , writes Congressman Amos J. Cummlngs In the N'ew York Advertiser. The demonstration was made to cover the launching of pontoon boats , used afterward to transport the Twenty-sixth New Jersey across the river. T e bullets from the can non rlcochetted toward the sunken road to Richmond , filled the air with puffs of dust and pent the wanderers of the Florida brigade to the pits for protection. Down the steep bank of the river went the wagons carrying the pontoons. They were launched amid a shower of bullets and quickly niled with Jersey troops. The oars seemed to be from fifteen to twenty feet long. The Jerseymen themselves handled them. As they pushed from the shore some men In the boats refused to work the oars. Throw ing themselves on the bottom of the boat , they remained there deaf to all entreaties to bear a hand. In one boat there was a thin young fellow about 18 years old. He had entered the army out of pure patriotism. He tugged at the long oar for all he was worth. Having some knowledge of a boat , he kept her from drifting sldewise on the current of the river. The shots came faster and faster from the confederate rifle pits and several men were killed. The young fellow cursed at every sweep of the oar. His lieutenant Jn the bow was officer of the day , and the red sash was draw- lug the fire of the enemy. His boat was the second to make the landing on the opposite side of the Rappahannock. The bank was quite high and the rifle pits some distance back. The high bank shut off the confederate bullets. As the men stepped ashore , the young Jer- seyman found himself at the foot of a path leading up the steep bank of the river. There was neither time nor space for a formation. While others at their paths were disputing as to who was to take the lead , the Jersey boy did not hesitate. He could not have weighed 117 pounds. Shouting "Mohawks to the front , " ho started up the path. The nervous effort required was so apparent in his face that ho was as white as a sheet and fairly frothed about the mouth. Up the path he went with the agility of a squirrel , followed by Corporal Bill Brown , Jakey Drew and other members of company A of the Twenty-sixth , known as the Mohawk Gang. It requires superlative nerve to head the column taking the path. The confederate pits were not fifty yards ftom the edge of the bank above. The first man to show himself on the plateau was almost sure to be riddled with bullets. The boy kept on. As he n eared the top of the bank he made a spring , preparatory to landing on the level , and made a rush on the pits. He miscalculated the distance , faltered and fell back In the arms of Corporal Brown. "Shot dead , " said Brown. "Sure. Jakey , catch him. " The cannons were roaring behind on 'the other bank of the river , and the spiteful sputter of musketry was In front. "Xot much , " the boy responded , "let's gofer for the pits. " With an enthusiastic yell he led the rush. Not a bullet touched him. The Florldlans saw that there was no escape and ceased firing. In less than a minute the union troops were In the pits , while a few of the confederates took their chances of escape by scattering over a wheat field. Several hun dred Floridlans were taken prisoners. This was as brave an incident as I saw during the war. The boy simply nerved himself to do his duty , while many of those around him were flinching. ROGUE OR COWARD ? It is not justifiable to call those acts bravery which are- done under the Influence ot excitement or emotion. Cowards fight " desperately when driven into a corner , and sometimes brave men will hesitate to rush Into a danger that a man of small courage de spises , writes General Thomas Gordon in the San Francisco Call. I consider that an act Is Intrinsically brave when it Is performed calmly , with a due appreciation of Its danger , and an absence of the stimulant of emotion. During the war I recall a signal Instance of true courage. General Forrest ( who prior to that had , single-handed , rescued a young man from a mob of Infuriated lynchers ) re ceived several complaints from the captain of one of his artillery companies regarding the conduct of a young oJHcer , on the score of deficient courhge. Finally , he felt com pelled to Issue an prder relieving the young man from duty with that company ; but out of regard for his feelings no mention was made In the order of the general's reasons for Issuing It. There could be no doubt In the officer's mind , however , as to his com mander's reasons for this step and General Forrest was well aware that the young man understood. He was therefore rather surprised to re ceive a visit shortly afterward from 'this same officer , and he asked for an explana tion. In angry tones the officer demanded to know on what grounds the order had been Issued. The man evidently meant mis chief. His right hand was In his coat pocekt , and the general was unarmed and alone , but he did not tllnch. "Because , sir , you have been reported by your commanding officer repeatedly for cowardice , " he said. With that he turned to go , but had not moved a few paces before the man shot him down. A surgeon was close by and examined the wound. He found that the ball had en tered the spine. "I recommend you to settle your affairs , general , " he said , "you have not long to live. " Forrest bad been lying In a dazed condi tion on the ground , apparently helpless. When the surgeon had uttered these words he Jumped up and rushed to pursue- his as sassin. Disabled as ho was the fleeing man could not escape him. General Forrest caught him and killed him with a penknife , the only weapon In his pos session , although the man had several bar rels of his revolver still loaded. Another Instance cf bravery that I no ticed on many occasions during the bom bardment ot Fort Sumter was the replacing of the flag. The heroes in this case were not men whose family traditions might act as an Incentive to gallantry. They wore recruited from the poorer classes of Richmond , Baltimore and other cities much on the plan of the enlistment. After the works on Ellis Island had fallen Into the handi ot the federals the lira on Fort Sumter. which was within ossy range , became quick and continuous. So hot did the cannonading become that It was not an unusual thing for the flag on the lofty start at the end of the fort to be shot away. Whenever this happened the men vied with each other In being first to replace It. They would expose them selves to a shower of missies , and then one of their number wculd climb up the flagstaff and replace the colon. A HUMAN PIN CUSHION. Another pin has been taken out of Gen eral Clement A. Evans ot Georgia. South ern people , Georgians particularly , have frequently heard the general referred to as "the I'ln Cushion , " That nickname , "Shanks , " which the newspapers have used , probably belonged to some other Evans certainly not to this one , bis friends say , not because it Is Inappropriate , but because the other is more appropriate. The gen eral U literally a pin cushion. Ills body was once full of pins , and for several years he was greatly annoyed at Intervals by the "working out" ot pins , head foremost , point foremost , and all sorts ot ways. Mott of them hove been taken out now. He hopes that they are all out now. He "was rather surprised recently , In fact , tq learn from the familiar symptoms that there was mill another one. It was fortunately a straight pin. The Incident that give the gener * ! his nickname occurred < 4i 'the battlefield , s y * the New York Adv eUWHe held a new paper of pin * In n hraut. pocket In leadIng - Ing * charge he was' rnot off h s home. The bullet had struck IfiV paper ot pins and gone through his WUr.TtarrylnR a number of. pln htlf way. , - - Most of them , of course , were bent K4ne like flrh hook' . The Central was nought to be fatally wounded. He recovered , however. In time to do more fightings-i His convalescence w s retarded by thepins , of course. Some of them had been picked' ' out by the surgeon lion after the wonnfl'"fr 8 Inflicted , others necessitated rubsqurtii1' ' operations before Urn surrender , and others still have strag gled out at discretion. . The general Is till and spare In figure , long-legged enough to suggest the name "Shanks" to a stranger who never heard Mitt .story ot the pin cuthlon. He was a lawyer before the war and has been a Methodist minister ever since. He Is In no sense a politician , be ing as frank and affectionate as a child and as modest as a woman. He Is not an eloquent preacher , nor adceply learned one , but Is earnest and true in his religion and Is universally popular among his neigh bors and the old soldiers. His rank In the rebel army was won by the hardest sort of fighting. He was promoted , step by step , after John D. Grrdon. The per sonal bravery of the preacher-candidate niade him the Idol of his men. IT RAINED "BREAD. " The lines of the confronting forces at the crater front were about 170 yards apart , and so accurate were the sharpshooters that a h t raised on a ramrod ever so slightly above the crest of the parapet was sure to be soon per forated with balls ; indeed , .ceaseless vigilance was the only guarantee against Injury at any point along these lines , and Incredible as It may seem. It is nevertheless true , says Blue and Gray , that soldiers facing to th * > front , and with the earthworks between the enemy and themselves , were frequently struck In the back by bullets Just grazing the edge of the parapet In passing over with downward Inclination , striking some nard substance be hind and glancing diagonally forward. Hence there was not always discredit in being wounded in the back while serving in these trenches. Danger became of such hourly occurrence that its presence made It Jocular with the soldiers. When a broadside would Issue from a federal battery , and the heavy missiles come hurtling toward our works , the cry , "More bread , " would go tip from the near-by soldiers , which meant that as soon as night or a flag of truce allowed the fragments of metal would be exchanged for fresh bread with the Junk dealer and baker from Peters burg ; and these loaves were Indeed a relief from the monotony of hardtack and coarse cornmeal , called "grits , " and often sour. A COSTLY STATUE. Up In the loft of the Woman's temple Sculptor Carl Rohl-Smlth lias Just finished the models for Iowa's monument to her sol dlers and sailors. Governor Jackson , D. N. Richardson and Mrs. Cora C. Weed came to Chicago to Inspect the models and pronounced them satisfactory In every respect. The monument Is to be erected at Des Molnes at a codt of $150,000 , says the Chicago Herald. Sculptor Rohl-Smlth , who made the cele brated statue of the Fort Dearborn massacre for George M. Pullman , will be constantly employed on the Iowa monument for two years or more. The monument Is to be 133 feet high. It Is an Imposing gray granite shaft , surrounded by heroic bronze figures. At the base ot the "monument are four fig ures , each eight feet < hlgh , representing sol diers or the navy. Infantry , artillery and cavalry. Unlike many sculptors. Rohl-Smlth has put life Into these figures. The naval figure represents a sailor swinging back a flag , which sways behind his athletic frame. The Infantryman Is a young soldier , appar ently Just home from' 'the war , and crowned with a laurel wreath.- The cavalryman bears an upraised sword , -entvclned with flowers. The artilleryman , with cap doffed , holds a swab aloft. One one. side of the base a statue of Iowa appears. " The figure repre sents a young mother , with hands clasped to her breast. The coaf of arms ot the state and other emblems are appropriately ar ranged about the figured The figure History , a stern old man with' 'a child at his knee , unrolling the blank scroll , appears on the opposite side of the monument. , Above these groups and surrounding the base of the shaft propef'are four "equestrian figures. Generals Dodge. Crocker , Curtis and Corse , Under the -gables of the base are figures of Generals Belknap , Hatch and Winslow - low , the fourth space being reserved for the coat of arms of the state. There are two bas-irellefs , on the base of the monument , one portraying the battle of Fort Donelson and the other the battle of Shlloh. About this base are arranged thirty-two portrait medallions of Iowa officers. These have not yet been selected. The granite shaft is ten feet In diameter. At the base it is sixty feet. Above all a heroic figure of peace , twenty-two feet high is to be raised. This figure rests on a capi tal twelve feet high and thirteen "feet wide. FARRAGUT AT MOBILE. A great deal has been written relative to the position of Farragut In the Mobile fight , and the Incident of being lashed to the rig ging has occasioned considerable contro versy. Certainly no question concerning the post occupied by Farragut could arise among those who were on board the flagship and witnessed the engagement. In the port main-rigging , a few ratlines above the sheer-pole , where be could clearly observe all that was transpiring about him , stood Farragut. As the smoke Increased , rolling above and around the admiral , he mounted the main-rigging higher and higher , until his bead was on a level with the but tock band , says Blue and Gray. At that point Captain Drayton , , fearing some accident might occur , sent Knowles with a piece of new lead line to make the admiral more secure. This honest old sailor. In speaking of the Incident in 1SSO , at which time he was quartermaster on the United States steamer Phlox , stationed at the naval academy , ex pressed himself as follows : "Pilot Freeman , who was apt to talk too much , I know very well ; but that man Bald win , w ° ho yarns It about the admiral and puts him In the starboard main-rigging , under the top , he does not know what he is writing about. I was chief quartermaster of the Hartford and the man that lashed the ad. inlral to the rigging , and I ought to know something about It. "When we got close up to the forts I heard Mr. Kimberly , the executive officer , tell Mr. Watson , our flag lieutenant , to have a rope passed around the admiral. I was busy at the time with some signal flags for the mon. Itors , when I was ordered to goup the port maln-rlgglng and put a rope around the ad miral. I cut a fathom or two from a new lead line which was lying on the deck , went up the ratlines to where the admiral wa * standing , with field-glasses in his hand. Just under the buttock shrouds , and made the for ward end of the line fast. As I took the after end around the admiral he passed the remark that the rope was not necessary , but I went on and made the after end secure. I don't think he noticed"lh rope around him. as we were square abfjeast of Fort Morgan , and It was pretty hoVwork ; but when the ships got clear of the forts the admiral bad to cast the rope adrltt'DGtore , he could come down. " , t , ROUT OF THE BANNOCKS. On the wall near ' .me hangs a recently published map of VJyputfng on which Big Horn county stands out'as ' large as life and twice as natural , as the fcaylng goes , writes the editor of the Bonanza Rustler , Away up toward the Montana line , well within the boundaries of the basin , Uic draughtsman of this map has located ] qeneral Miles' battle with the Bannock Indians , leaving out tbo date of Its occurrence/ < > This battle took place In 1S7S on the1 taut bank of Clark's Fork , a short dlslanct teOfn where Bennett's creek empties into CUc .former stream. IK the winter of 1877-7& ( ( it Bannock Indian known as Bald Face-w - stopping with his family on the Shoshonereservation. In Ui spring he was advised to return to his own reservation at Fort Hall and go to work. Bald Face did not fancy the Idea ot going to work and Immediately upon his return to his own kinsmen began to organize rebellion. With quite a band that be had gathered about him he started out on a raid , heading In westerly direction. General Howard , who was In "Command of the Department of the Pacific , took the field against Bald Fac and his warriors , who succeeded In eluding him and doubling on their trail back east , erly.

How strange It teems that a remnant of the once powerful confederacy of Pnwhatan should actually exist at this day not very far from Washington ! This last fragment of a nation which , at the time of the land Ing of Columbus , occupied all of the region hereabout. Including a large part of Vir ginia and Maryland , consists of about 110 Individuals. They call themselves the Pamunkey , and dwell In what Is known as "Indian town , " which Is tltuated on and comprises the whole of a curiously shaped neck of land extending Into Pamunkey river and adjoining King William county , Virginia , on the south. The "town , " says the Washington Star , consists of 800 acres , and Is almost entirely surrounded by water , being connected with the mainland by a narrow strip. The comparative safety af forded by the situation In time of war Is doubtless accountable for the presence of the-tribe In this spot ; very likely their sur vival is due to the protection thus given. On the death cf Powhatan he was sue ceded by Opechancanough , chief of the Pamunkey. The tribe was at that time the most powerful of the thirty warlike tribes which composed the confederacy. The en tire nation had 2,400 warrior * and com prised about .000 Individuals. Of this pop ulation 1,000 were of the Pamunkey contin gent. The disa trous attacks on the early settlers of Virginia by the savages under Powhatan are well known to history. Powhatan was a chief of remarkable valor and Judgment. The confederacy organized under the direction of his savage genius was one of the mot-t notable among the many unions of native American tribes. The prominence of this aboriginal nation In tlie early history of this country Is partly due to the fact that Captain John Smith was a writer as well as an explorer. Opechan canough hlmtclf was a man of unusual ability. Ills leadership in the massacre cf 1C22 made him the moit dreaded enemy ever encountered by the colonists of that period. The Pamunkey Indians , whose distinction It Is to be the only Virginia tribe that has survived the encroachments u ! civilization , has excited the Interest of the bureau of ethnology , which has Just Issued a bulletin describing them. Oddly enough , their number has varied hardly at all during the last century. Jeffer- 'son , writing in 1781 , est'mated tne popula tion of Indlantown at 100 , and Howe , near ! } seventy years later , placed It at the same figure. No member of the tribe Is of full blood. While the copper-colored skin and the straight , coarse hair of the aboriginal American show decidedly In some Individu als , there are others whose origin would not be detected by the ordinary observer. There has been considerable Intermixture of white blood and not a little of that of the negro , though the laws of the tribe now strictly forbid marriage with persons of African descent. The Pamunkeys have a great deal of race pride. Though they acknowledge the whites as equals , they consider the blacks far be neath their social level. Their feeling toward the negro is illustrated by their recent in dignant refusal to accept a colored teacher who was sent to them to conduct the free school which the state of Virginia provides for them. They arc very anxious to keep their blood free from further mingling with that of other races , and how to accomplish this purpose is a serious problem of theirs , inasmuch as they recognize the danger of too frequent marriages within the pale of consanguinity. To obviate this difficulty the chief men have been trying to devise a plan by which they may Induce Immigration from the Cherokeei North Carolina. The Indian blocd In the Pamunkey tribe is esti mated at from one-fifth to three-fourths of the whole. The Pamunkey Indians are not particularly strong and robust , perhaps because of fre quent marriages between relatives. They are temperate , moral and peaceable. There is good feeling between them and their white neighbors. They are exceedingly proud of their lineage , and love to tell how bravely and stubbornly their forefathers resisted the encroachments of the whites. Opechanca nough is their hero. They take great de light in reciting the familiar story of how this noted chief , when old and Infirm , was carried on a litter to battle that his pres ence might Inspire his men to deeds of brav ery. Aside from , their mode of subsistence , presently to be described , there is nothing peculiar In their manners and customs , un less It be an inclination to excessive use of gaudy colors In their attire. Their homes are comfortable and well kept. They all belong tothe Baptist denomination and at tend church on the reservation every Sun day. day.They They obtain their living for the most part In true aboriginal styte. Their chief occupa tions are hunting and fishing , primitive dug out canoes being used. Farming they do on a small scale , but for manual labor they entertain a truly aboriginal dislike , fre quently hiring negroes to atterfd to their little truck patches. Considerable numbers of rac coons , muskrats , otters , and evendeer _ are captured on the reservation. The skins are sold In Richmond and Baltimore , as well as many of the fish they catch. They take shad. bass , herring and other fishes In large numbers by means of seines. In the autumn they hunt reed birds In a very curious fashion. They have what they call a "Eoni horse , " resembling a peach bas ket in size and shape and made of strips of Iron. Before they had Iron , clay was util ized as the material. The "horse" Is mounted on a pole stuck In the marsh or placed upright In a boat. At night a flre Is kindled inside of It The light attracts the reed birds , and they fly around it , while the Indians knock them down with paddles. Every year white hunters visit the reserva tion for the purpose of shooting reed birds , employing the Pamunkeys as guides. CALAMITY YAEN. Coats Spring , a I'ropheti of Krll , Again Active. The people of Bridgeport , Pa. , are perturbed over what Is believed to be a cer tain indication of war , which manifested Itself on Tuesday , says a dlspach. A spring on the farm of Samuel Coats , In Upper Merlon township , near the borough line , has been sending forth a copious flow of water after being dry for nearly thirty years. James Henderson Is the tenant ot the Coats farm , and on the spot where the spring Is bubbling he had some wheat , as he did in the rest of the field. The land slcJpcs from the top of a high hill , on which Is the reservoir of the Bridgeport Water com pany. Supposing , when he first beheld the gush of water , that the reservoir was leaking. Farmer Henderson ran to Bridge port and notified his landlord , who Is super intendent of the water company. The latter , when he learned that "a big spring of water was flowing In the wheat field , " did not feel the least concerned about the water com pany's property , but he did become alarmed for the safety of the nation. Landlord Coats , who Is now a justice of the peace , carried a gun during the rebellion. The year before the war began the spring flowed then as It Is flowing now. When the civil war was over It became as dry as a powder horn. 'Squire Coats' father , when he saw the water burst forth In the wheat field one day late In the fall of 1S59 , remarked to the neighbors that there would be war , and war there was. The elder Coats , whose Christian name was Lindsay' , saw the spring flow once before , and then his father told him that there would be war. That was In the year 1811. At that time , too , the spring flowed freely until after the battle ot New Orleans , when It again became dry. The reason why Lindsay Coats predicts war with such unerring certainty Is that there Is a legend In the family that ths periodic gushes ot the spring are precedent 10 and continuous with a hostile clash of the armed nation. The squire's father Is now deceased , but the squire remembers hearing him tell of the spring's action In 1811. Coupled with that is the direct evidence of his own eyes In 1SCO , In 1869 , during the ; reat rain , the spring remained dry Squire Coats Is telling bis neighbors to prepare for any emergency which may arise.

WASHINGTON , July 6. The ways and means committee met at 2 p. m. and took up the tariff bill. Chairman Wilson and his democratic associates endeavored to re port back to the house at once in favor of a disagreement with the senate , but Mr. Reed and his associates Insisted on reading the senate amendments. The session of the committee lasted through the afternoon and Mr. Wilson was compelled at last to abandon the hope of reporting back the bill today. During the discussion' Mr. Reed poured hot and bitter criticism at the bill and Its supporters. He moved at the out set that the bouse collar and cuff petition In book form be laid on Chairman Wil son's desk as a protest to the bill , and as a means of obscuring Mr. Wilson himself. The chairman did not like the jocular mo tion , and refused to entertain it. Mr. Wil son's plans were made clear late In the day when he Introduced the following special rule : "Resolved , That after the passage of this resolution the committee on ways and means shall be discharged from further consideration of house bill 4SGS , with sen ate amendments thereto , and the same shall be considered In the house ; that after two hours of general debate It shall be In order in the house to move to concur to the sen ate amendments to said bill and agree to a committee ot conference as asked for by the senate on the disagreeing votes of the house , and the house without further delayer or motion shall proceed to vote on said bill. " The committee on rules meets at 11:30 : o'clock tomorrow morning to consider this rule , which will be reported promptly. The ways and means committee meets at 10:30 : tomorrow , and unless Mr. Wilson se cures a vote in committee to report the bill back the special rule will operate to take the bill away from the committee. The two hours allowed by the rule for debate insures a brief but very animated tariff debate before the bill goes to conference to morrow , Tariff 1)111 It frrreil. WASHINGTON , July C. The bill for state taxation of green-backs occupied the atten tion of the house all day , and It was passed by a very largo majority. The only point of Interest In the day's proceedings was the taking of the tariff bill from the speaker's table and Its reference to the committee on ways and means , but this was unattended by any excitement. Several unimportant bills were passed. The house took a recess until S o'clock. The evening session was devoted to private pen sion bills. 84'iritn Atljuunifil lintll Moiuliiy. WASHINGTON. July C.
