In Nellie Grant's list of bridesmaids we see the names of Sallie linghuysen, Minnie Sherm: Fannie Drexel, Bessie Conkling. Lizzie Porter, Madgte Dent, Anna Barnes, and Eath Fish. Why Anna Barnes is not Annie Barnes, and Edith Fish is not Dithie or Edie Fish, is something difficult to understand, un- less the mystery lies in a typographical blun- der.

Mr. Carpenter sa‘d a'l such bills were ancoa- stitusional and should not be passed. It mat- tered not what the object was, it conferred ex clasive 7 which the coastitation pro hibited. bill was pasted here a few day> Ago, allowing some one to import paintings frex of duty. It was jast as proper to pass a bil authorizing John Smith to import coffee an tea tree of duty. One was for the beneit of th: fine arts and the other fur the benefit of a goo. breuktast.

He thonght it bigh time some action was taken on the subject. Mr Marbury said the removal of night-soll niet Lhe new system had cost already £12,000 in eight month+, and that the contractor bad vol been paid one cent. He believed fret in paying off a man before discharging him. Tr. \erut Sndoraed thess remarks Dr. Cox eaid he bad offered the resolation tn good faith, avd be didn't want to be lectared for his action. He had waited for weeks for = report from the committee, and only unimpor- tant and partial reports bad been thus far made.

Dr. Cox.—I am very glad, sir, that we have the records to refer to; { am not lecturing the chairman of the committee, but [ want t say that he is acting in a very unbecoming manner. Dr. Cox didn't think the t contract shouid be continued because it was expensive and took nearly all the District appropriations to pay for the removal of night soil. He moved to refer the resvlutious to the committee on ordinances, Prof Langston (Mr. Marbury in the chair) then arose and gsid the reeolutions were most remarkable, aud their introduction a curious occurrence. Dr. Cox. —Debate is not in order. Dr. Langston continued, saying the resola- tions offered by Dr. Cox ‘are remarkable and have been coolly drawn and deliberately offered to ceneure the committee on ordinances. Dr. Cox.—Where are you censured? Prof. Langston.—In every line, sir; and your remarks, too, censure the committee. These resolutions have been coolly drawn to ce: the committee.
