Mr. HAGER, (vem,) of Cal., sald he haa no confi- dence in the policy recently inaugurated, From what he bad heard in regard to these reservations there was not much jattening, but rather starva- lion, in consequence of waich the Indians broke out to get the necessaries o life. The amenaments proposed by the committee Were agreed to, ‘the ‘committee withdrew the amendment authorizing @ computation of the area of the Creek reservation on the north lork of the Canadian River, and appropriating $150,000 from the moneys in the ‘Treasury belonging to the Seminole !ndians to pay for sald tract, Mr. Boy moved to strike out the amendment authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to Issue to the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episco- pal Charen @ patent tor certaim land in the State oi Michigan, Kejected.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS. The Ice in the Rivers and Bay Diminishing. THE TROUBLE IN THE SOUND. The milder weather has appreciably improved the condition of affairs, in so far as the ice-bound pipes are concerned from which {8 drawn the supply of water necessary to this great city, It 18 true that this winter has been an exceptional one; but that some reasonable and common sense plan should be adopted by which the recurrence of the present difficulties might be prevented is now forcibly presented, All ‘he opinions of enginegrs most conversant with the system now in operation tend to show that there are innumerable remedies which might be adopted by which the sufferings experienced so universally during the past fortnight might be mitigated, if not obviated altogether, Some san- guine people, during the sunny midday hours that prevailed in the middie of the present week, were falsely deluded with the idea that an end was about to be expertenced of their troubles. Again, too, yesterday, when the morning broke lowering and obscured, the possibility of a break ing off of THE ICY EMBRACE with which all things have lately been encircled, through the natural action of the threatened snow storm which 1t was generally believed would have to occur before the breaking up of the rigid grasp ot Pere Hiver could be considered as a posstbility likely to eventuate, was hailed with unqualified delight. It was thought that the neck of the winter solstiec, so to speak, had been broken. Aa the day advanced, however, the delusiveness of these hopes was conclusively proven by a consulta, tion of the thermometer; for Instead of finding an unheard of temperatuie registered, it was dis- covered that the mercury was slowly but surely falling again. Ag the night approached a further retrograde movement was the order, and the record, which at three o’clock P. M. showed @ mean of thirty-one degrees, was at seven o'clock P. M. as low as twenty-seven degrees, while tm the succeeding hours up to midnight the same ratio of decrease was main- tained, Even should a thaw set in it would be some days before relief woula be experienced, so deep has the frest entered the earth, In the meanwhile housekeepers may stul do much to mitigate the evils under which they are suffering, or that may reasonably be expected to arise from BURSTING PIPES by, as has been previously suggested, taking time by the forelock and keeping a constant watch on the water connections, There is doubtless even now many @tenantor occupler of a house who, finding the water pipes trozem, 139 still hugging the flattering unction to his soul that all will be weil when the weather | moderates, and that no precautions need be taken or examination made. Such peopie, how- eve, wiil do well to at once institute a thorough examination, and when @ delect is discovered, as Unere doubtless will be, to at once bave it | repaired; otherwise, wien the thaw does set in much annoyance and actuai loss must necessarily arise. It cannot be supposed that the present cold reigu will exist much longer, for the sun is every day gaining a greater altitude, and, therefore, a greater power, And it cannot, if ordinary cal- culations are to be considered of any value, be very long before a change occur: Just now the only imconvenience felt is {rom @ stoppage in the supply o: water owing to the freezing of the pipes. felt in the most annoying manuer in the shape of flooded floors, carpets, 1urniture and ceilings.

AN ELEPHANT BATTLE. The wild animals at the Hippodrome seem to have lost none of their instincts in captivity. Though caged and cribbed, domesticated and trained, as they necessarily are, these creatures | constantly betray their savage natures. The pair of rhinoceroses quarrelled as soon as they met at the Hippodrome, and were with dificulty separated, while the leopards @ few days ago induiged in a battie that ; ended in the death of the weaker one. Yes- | terday the gage of war was between the ele- | phants, a race of animals usually quiet and peace- | able after domestication, One day this week the management received from Europe a small | female elephant named Julia, and she | was placed in the long box appropriated | to that class of pachydermatous, The o!d and new members of the elephantine family appeared to agree with each other very well until yesterday aiternoon. When the matinée periormance was | over Julia was marched into tue pen, being placed next to an elephant called | Prince, who at once began fondling his companion. Julia resented his attentions and with a blow of ner proboscis knocked him off his feet. Prince vecame enraged at this treatment, and attacked Julia a3 sovn as he recovered trom his astonishment, ‘the struggle was a flerce one, and both of the contestants used their trunks | and tusks with rare goed will, and the scene was 80 noisy that the audience be- | came somewhat frightened. Ali of the elephants | trumpeted shrilly, and their commotion ied to { much excitement among the occupants or the | several cages in the menagerie, Before the watch- ful attendants could repair to the scene of the en- counter Julia was vadiy gored by her an- tagoaist, and after peace bad been restored it was found necessary to place her in a@ huge sling of canvas, as she had sustained | agevere wound in the siouider. ‘I'he keepers do not consider the unfortunate beast tn any great danger, though the occurrence 1s deeply deplored. ‘The iact of such & battle taking place 1s considered remarkable, as old hunters say that elephants | have never been known to quarrel in & menagerie before.
