LIBBY PRISON- Tho Famous Structure to Bo:Plac ed on Exhibition in Chicago Ciik'aoo, Feb. 5. A new departure in ! thii line of relic warsliip has been taken in this city. The preliminary steps for tin? formation of ft corporation whose ob- I ject is the purchasa und removal to this i ity of the famous Libby prison, of Ku h tnand, Va., were taken here yesterday. The corporation will have a capital of $100,000 ami has already secured the option from the owners of the buildings. Dbriiijr the war this old prison having a dimension of 9,03'. feet, and built with 600,000 brick, had confined within its bare walls more than sixty-six thousand union Koldierri. The company propose to take the building down in sections, pack it carefully and remove it to Chi cago where it will be sent up precisely ns originally. They will surround it with another building wirh a glass roof and on the wall opposite the rear of the pris on will have a panoramic viow of the St. James rivrr and the country beyond. The company expects to complete the re moval and setting up this year. Congressional1 Probabilities. Wasitixutox, Feb. .. The education bill begins its fifth week of consideration in the senate tomorrow, and Mr. Call has the floor for a speech upon it. It is like ly to le set aside temporarily "as hereto fore for n variety of purposes. Senator Sulsbury proposes to call up tomorrow his resolution relating to inter national coinage for debate and action. Senator Flatt has given notice of his purpose to speak tomorrow upon the tariff and the president's message, though lie may be delayed by the Saulsbury res olution until Tuesday, and Senator Tel ler, if a good opportunity occurs, will address the senate on the same subject later in the week. Senator Beck is booked for a reply at an early day to senator Senator Brown's speech upon internal revenue. Senator Davis expects to call up for action during the jveek the dependent pension bill. Senator Allison i3 expected to make a report upon the undervaluation bill Tuesday or Wednesday but will probably ask that the measure be recommitted for amendment before it is brought forward for consideration and action. Senator Riddleberger promises to be heard at some length by his colleagues, and, if htt can effect it by the public as well, upon ths British oxtraditiou treaty, and secret sessions. Tiie Indiana contested election case will come before the housi tomorrow as unfinished business, and several hours of the time will be at the disposal of those members who wish to speak. If any time remains afterward Mr. Crain will seek to have passed, under a suspension of the rules, the proposed constitutional amendment fixing the 1st day of JanuarT as the date for the assembling of con gress. The urgent deficiency appropriation bill will probably be pressed to the point of passage early in the week, and if Mr. Foran shall have sufficiently recovered, he will ask the house to take up and pass the pension appropriation bill, which is in his charge. Miners Resolve to Striko. Pes Moines. Ia., Feb. 5. All of the miners in eight mines south of this city have agreed to begin a general strike to morrow. They demand pay at the rate of 4 cents per bushel or $1.00 per ton. They have been paid 3 cents per bushel or h0 cents per tun and insist o:i the in crease, which ii very generally refused, Tiie Pioneer mine has bscu paying the price asked, but the miners there have been induced to join the strike to help force the other companies into making the raise by making the strike general and threatening a coal famine. If the strike is inaugurated tomorrow it will throw about fire hundred men out of work. For Crant's Monument New Yohk, Feb. 5.

Prentlco Sfulford's Argument on tlio Neces sity of lUchcs The Law of Success. Mr. Mulford opons by eonce-dimr that it is right and necessary thiit wo should have tho best of tho world's goods; he concedes that wo do not get the elegan cies of life from excessive toil and drudg ery, and ho adds: "That weidth is absurd, that refine ment may be mixed with cfTcminacy, i.i no proof against the great ur.o and neces sity for having, using and enjoying wisely the best the soil can raise- and tho best of all nian'u art and f kill, or i.i other words, the lest of ail wo can do f.ir each other, and in the coming kingdom of heaven, which ia to be the kitigdojn of earth, that in what men and women will bo joyfully doing for each other; but not witltout system, not without order, not without the recognition and practice of the law that a righteous and religious business consists in such an interchange of commodities lietweeii man u::d man, so that ho who gives shall feel paid by what he receives from another. Thou sand sa ve and scrimp, and deny them selves of luxuries and necessities, to lay up every spare penny, and are poor all their lives. They call it economy to walk a mile to save a five cent fare, and in so doing probably expend enough force and strength, which, rightly applied, would make 10. AH material wealth is gained through following a certain spirit ual law, or by the use, in a certain way, of human spiritual forces. 'Your prevailing order of thought is a force which bring3 its like in physical things. If you live in a $3 per week hall bedroom, and j our thought every night and morning is, 'Well, 1 suppose I must always live in this barren den,' you are by such despondent t;tate of mind creat ing in the invir-ible, but most powerful element of thought, a power which will keep you in that ro:nn, and in a cheap, inferior corresponding order cf life. 4 'If you say in your thought, and keep saying it, and keep so far as j-ou can your mind in the state to say this, '-I accept this room only as my temporary abode; I will have a letter one, and after that a better one still, and everything el.-e better, you are then, through the mys terious agency of your -own thought power, bringing tho Iielter to you, "You have then set a magnet as real, though invisible, as the loadstone at work drawing the better to you, and you will find, as this state of mind is persisted in, that you will gradually drift away from cheap and relatively unsuccessful people into a more aspiring, broader and suc cessful order of mind. ' ' Boston Herald. Fashions in Rlbbosis, Of all that fluctuate rapidly none are more volatile than those which govern ribbons. The greater proportion of these fancy but necessary articles of woman's toilet come from Europe, whence we get our fashions. The round that a certain kind of ribbon makes is curious to note. It gets its prestige in Paris. In two months it is in New York and four months later in St. Louis. Four months afterward it reaches Denver and the far west. You can't get a novelty in ribbon here by telegraph as you do news. It must bo about six months behind Paris or New York. This ij an axiom. Globe-Democrat. Seward, Clay and Webster. "When Sidney Smith saw Daniel Web ster m England he remarked: ' 'Heavens! he is a walking cathedral." The same thought seems to have been suggested to William II. Seward. He was one. day discussing the relative merits of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, and said : ' 'They could no more be compared than a Gre cian temple to a Gothic church." Seward is said to have had a great objection to equestrian statues, on the ground that the horse w-as more prominent than the man. New Yprk Press. The Southernmost. Capital. It is not generally known that Wash ington is the most southern of the capj tcds of tip great nations pf fku Noithfin Ilemisphere. Madrid, Constantinople and I tome are even further north, while Paris is up in the latitude of Newfoundland, and London and Berlin are on the line of Labrador.

Asking as our itatiit books declare that death by hanging is the punishment. fer mureler, it behooves us as a sober minded, not to say a civilized com munity, to see to it that this, like all things, be done decently and in order. A trade's a trade the world around, and as with vessels, some go to honor and tov.ic to dishonor, so with men; all Gorts and conditions are needed to make a sym metric whole. Inexplicable as it may be, the fact remains that certain men in r.il times have been found to whom it was a pleasure to wield the headsman's ax, to apply the torch to the martyr's faggots, to draw the bow s'rriag, to turn the bat ton, to adjust the noose, to cut the rope, to draw the bolt; yet in this great country, CO. 000.000 of people, with three ccore of independent sovereignties, with hundreds cf cities where criminals sibound, w here murders are of daily e.-c-currence and hangings are common, there is absolutely no regulated custom, slid less any law. making it the duty & any tipe-cilieel individual- to personally conduct the awful ceremonies of judical killing.
