Although this was Good Friday , tlic house met as usual. Mr. Saycrg presented for Immediate consld- crollnn a joint resolution appropriating $10- 000 for the salaries and expense ! ) of nddl- tlonnl deputy collectors of Internal revenue to carry out the provisions of the Chinese exclusion act , ns amended hy tliu joint resolution elution passed December 7 last. U was agreed to. After the transaction of other routine busi ness the ntniKglo over tlio O'Neill-Joy con tented election case from Missouri was ro- numcd. Mr. WauRh , repuhllcrtn , of Indiana Imme diately raised the ( iiiostlon of consideration ngaltiRt the report of the committee , and the filibustering began. The republicans repeated their former tac tics by refusing to vote. The result of the vote was llfi to 1 , which showed the demo crats were eighteen short of a quorum. Tlio call of the hoiiec followed. The call devel oped the presence of 2IS members. At this point , It being apparent that a dotnocratlc quorum could not bo secured today , It wan decided to abandon the case until next , week. Mr. Patterson made a statement to the effect that he had a telegram from Mr. IJarthold , republican , of Missouri , Air. Joy's colleague , ( saying ho desired to argue the case and would bo hero on Monday. He therefore gave notlco that he would call up tlio case on Tuesday. Mr. Drown , democrat , of Indiana then called up the case \Vlmtlcy against Cobb , from the Klfth Alabama district. The report of the committee- unanimously confirmed Cobb'H tltlo to the .seat , and without division or debate tlio report was adopted and this case disposed of. A motion to adjourn , made by Mr. Wilson of Washington , was defeated , and then , on motion of Mr. Wheuler of Alabama , the liouso went Into committee of the whole , Mr. O'Neill In the chair , to consider the mlll- tarv academy bill. The amount carried by the bill was $ -100.038 , against $132,540 for the current year. The original estimates for the next fiscal year aggregate $590,103. They were reduced by the secretary of war to $ icr.Ma. , . Mr. Wheeler made a short explanation of the appropriations carried by the bill , which , lie said , were less than carried by any mili tary academy bill for ten years. The bill was then read by paragraphs. Mr. Robertson of Louisiana moved to strike out the appropriation of $ S50 for equipping the natatorltim with tlio six siliuc- llncd compartments with combination shower , spray and needle baths. Ho thought this useless and extravagant. There wan plenty of water In tlio Hudson river for bathing purposes and plenty of water In the natatorlum for use In the winter without putting up these magnificent tubs. Mr. Mllllkcn of Maine thought the at tempt to save this Insignificant sum nig gardly in the extreme. The first Hobcrtson amendment was de feated and the second withdrawn. The provision that no graduate of the academy should be assigned to servo as professor or Instructor was struck out. The bill was then reported from the com- mlttco of the whole to the liouso and with out objection was passed. Mr. Henderson of North Carolina then moved that the house go into commit too of the whole for the consideration ot the post- office appropriation bill. Mr. Heed called attention to the fact 1 there was evidently no quorum present and J the motion was withdrawn , and at t o'clock the house took a recess until 8 o'clock to night , the evening session to be for the consideration of pension business. The night session was occupied with the passage of private pension bills , and at 10:30 : the house adjourned. NEWS ron TIIH AK.UY.

LIGHT RUN OF CATTLE FIRMS "UP PRICES .Market IVxcrlnh , but Sulllrlcntly Strong to Tempt Speculator * Into Competition Activity All Along the I.lnu-llogH Sell 11 Nk-klo Keller. FRIDAY , March 23. Receipts for the week so far , compared with last , show an Increase of less than 1,000 cattle , while the decrease In hog sup plies amounts to over 7,000 head and In sheep supplies to over L',000 head. There was a very light run of cattle and the general quality of the offerings was only fair. As rcvolpls for the past few days have been rather light the dressed beef men were needing cattle , and although the tone to eastern advices was anything but favor able there was enough competition for the fair to good light and medium weight steers to hold prices steady on these grades , fair to good 1,000 to 1,160-tb steers selling readily at from $3.10 to $3.35 , Notwith standing tlio bad markets cast the unusually low price. * proved too tempting to specu lative shippers to resist and In spite of the disastrous experiences of the early part of tlio week they bought quite u few cattle , although generally at lower prices , paying around $3.15 to $3.50 for fair to good beeves weighing from 1,200 to 1,450 Ibs. It Is cer tainly a very peculiar state of affairs and something Is radically wrong somewhere when export cattle , good finished beeves , are bringing very little more than feeders. The feeling on all sides was weak today , but in spite of this fact the movement was free and by noon the big bulk of the offerings had been disposed of. There was considerable activity In the market for butchers' and dinners' stock today. Less than a fourth of the offerings wore cows and mixed lots and as buyers for local houses were apparently all after this class of stock trade was brisk and soon over. Prices ruled a shade firmer than yesterday and Be to lOc better than Wednes day. Kalr to good butchers' cows sold largely at from $2.35 to $2.Sfi , with extreme sales at from $1.85 to $3. Veal calves were In iood ; request ut firmer prices , with sales at from $4.50 to $5.25 , while common heavy stock sold down to $2.40. The market for rough stock showed no particular change , with sales at from $2 to $2.75. In stockers and feeders business was some what restricted on account of the limited offerings , but the demand from all sources was good and prices were flrmly held on all suitable grades. Good young cattle are selling to considerably better advantage than the finished stock. Business was brisk while It lasted today and regular traders have very few cattle left on their hands. Good to cholco feeders are quoted No. Av. Pr. 173 nti-or ! ' , filers 1121 { 3 03 HOGS llecelpts continue light and the quality ot the offerings seems to be improv ing. There were lots of good medium and light , weight hogs here today , but finished heavy hogs were scarce. The fresh supply was not much over 3,000 head , but , Including stale hogK. there were nearly 4,000 on sale. Light supplies , a shortage of 7,000 hogs this week as compared with last , better markets east and a fair shipping and speculative In quiry , In aOdltlon to an active demand from loeal packers , all combined In the sellers' favor and most of the hogs sold pretty close to a nickel better than on Thursday. Tlicro was not much of a range of prices. Fair to good hogs , In fact poor to cholco hogs of all weights , sold at from $4,45 to $4.50 , with n few odd bunches of Inferior light mixed stun * at $4,35 and $1.40. The market was lively from start to finish , the market closing strong at the advance , with the pens empty by the middle of the forenoon. It was a $4.45 and $4.CO market today , against a $4.40 and $4.45 market yesterday , A week ago the hogs sold at $4.45 and $1.50 , the samu as they did today. Representative sales : No. Av. Sh. Pr.

His unusual talent soon brought him repu tation and prominence among his profes sional brethren. In 1835 he was elected to the professorship of anatomy and surgery In the Vermont university. In 1S41 he was appointed lecturer on nmtena mcdlca and medical botany In Dartmouth college. The next year he was chosen professor of tlio chair then vacated by Prof. Hobby , nml occupied the chair , the most important ono In the country , until a few years before his death In 1SSO. He had for years foreseen the dangers of ihc American way of living. He went about to llnd a scientific , common sense remedy to cure the common evils that under one name and another , retiilt from an unhcalthful state of the nervous system , and within a score of years have seemed to bo sweeping over the cotmtry like an epidemic. He succeeded. He gave to the medical profession a celo- biated remedy , which has since como to bo known the world over as Paine's celery compound. It was Dr. Phelps' prescription which ever slnco has been freely used and prescribed by the most eminent of the profession. The WJSAT1IEKFOJtEU.lSTS. .

They found the wonderful remedy- to be exactly what was claimed for It , a great nerve and brain strengthener und re storer. It was demonstrated beyond doubt that Paine's celery compound would cure nervous debility and exhaustion , neurulKla , sleeplessness , dyspepsia , und all blood dis eases. It was as harmless as It was good , and It was the universal advice of the medical pro fession that the compound bo placed where the general public could secure It , and thou sands of people have every year proven the wisdom of his good advice. The recent advice of Commodore Unwell to use this compound , which the commodore publicly i-uld had saved his ovn llfn , and the published testimonials of Mayor .Mc- Shane of Montreal , the poet author Hardy , George Wright , Marie Tempest , Councillor Morse , Mabel .Icnness , and other men ami women of national reputation , has brought the compound Into special notice. As a well known physician In this city , says : "I'alne's celery compound Is not a patent medicine ; It Is not a sarsaparllla ; It Is not a mere tonic ; It Is not an ordinary nervine It is us far beyond them all as the diamond Is btipcrlor to cheap glass.
