A Remarkable and Ending of a Hessaen of the House. WASILINUTON, March 4.-Cengresi ad.;ourned sino die to-day. Tie Repub licans in the House had nale(d theit co *ra to the mast and were determine< to go out of power as aggressive, defian and full of fight as they had been a any time during the session. They were loyal to the opeaker and awaitet the proper occasion to man,ifest the fact It soon came. No Dei-at haviu prepared the usual vote of thanks t< the Speaker, McKinley airose and of lred a rezolttion thanking the Speaker for the able and impartial manner ir which he had perforned his duiQs. Tihe Ifouse, which had been inl a buz: from the many toned whi4kpers of th members oin the floor, lapied momenta rly into something approaching <Iuiet am the resolution was read, and Mills aros InI his place. lIe dsappointed thiose persous who hoped for a vigorous ora torical display, as ie merelv demande< t,m call of the yeas and nays. The cal was proceeded with amid great contisioi duc to the fact that nearly every member had some parting remarks for a n,eigh bot whom lie perhaps might never sce again. When at last the vote was an. noinced the Republicans rose en masse, clapping theli hands vigorously, way. 13 papers and books and making th< air resound with cheers, tihe vohume o sound being swelled by tile app ause il the galleries. The applause was renew ed, more vigorously than before as Speak er R{eed entered thel hall to relieve Berry who was temporarily in the chair. TIle Democrats jeered at the deion stration. Bland and McClammy of North Carolina shouting out ret.orts t; Lhe Iepublican applause that were lost in te cionlsion. A sceei similar to that which followed the declarationl of the speaker that,,the Fift,y-tirst Congress was adjourned without day, it is safe to say, never :occurred before inl a Congress oh the United States. 'lie vocalists of the 1llo oi tile liepublican side of' the chamber gathered in a body near the Iront row ofl desks-headed by CJolemani of' L.ouisiana, Yardley of' Pennsylvania, Stivers of New York and Wade of Mis souri-and as sooni as the 1louse was declared ad.jounded they start.ed up "archiing ThrouIgh (eo-gia,'' which was takenl up by the great mass of Republican lepresentatives who made the hall riini to the great, delight and ediication of the galleries p.rked full of people. 'Tie Democratic chorus. headed by RlepresentatiVe-elec, .Join, J. x'Neiil of . lMissouri, started with the doxology, "Praise God rrom whomil all blessilgs flow.'' .But their voices were soon drowned IIn the superior volume of souil from the press gallery, the re porters having takein upl) tile IIymnIII. Republicaiis and Democrats alike ceased tit ir singing to listen to that of' their Some tinie critics whose full resonant choris was very effective. Burrows and Allen of 1icligan, and Coleman with Yardley, struck ip "Our Fatherland," as tne closing notes of tle doyology died away, and the Republi catis joining in very generally the effect was tine, as was the singing of' "John B rown's iody,'' which was taken up im metiately.

Ni-w Yomi, March I.-Della Pollina Lutgi, Ielest ra Francesca, Gilacomo Con ti and his wi fe Teresa arrived in this city yesterday f1 om South Carolina without money, but with a big story of trials and tribulations. This is the story they tell: Teliy arrived here from Italy, expect ing to get rich very fast, on N ovember 21 of last year. They were met at the Barge Ollico by Donenico Cappello, the agent for a man called Tomasso Scan tone, who, he said, would pay them all big wages if they would go south and do somne ver,y easy work. As this hap pened to be just w hat they were looking for they decided to go South, especially as they were assured that, their traveling expenses woul be paid. They had no idea of where they were going, but they were transported as far as Charleston and then conveyed to a little town twelve miles distant. There the mien were )ut to work in someic pmitiice stone quarries, where the work was very hard Iand where they had to standt up to their waist in water most of the time. 'hey could make only forty cents a (lay, and despite the promise made to them they were "docked" for the aiount of their railroad fares. They were charged exorbitant prices for Iood and for the privilege of sleeping in wretched hovels. T1"hey say they were often beat en and, inl fact.. treated just as if they were prisoners. At the end of three Ionths of hard work and poor living their joint savings amounted to $1.7. They managed to escape from the arm ed guards, who they say were stationed about the camp, anil( made their way to Charleston, where one of them had bank ed Sto which lie had brought front Italy. That sufliced to pay their fares to New York, where, after they had told their tale, they were taken care of by the Ital Lan Benevolent Society, which has its headquarters at No 46I Varick street. The I talian Consul General telegraph ed to the Italian Consul at Charleston to make inquiries. On Monday an agent will be sent from here to thorough ly investigate thw matter. They say there are other Italians in the qua.ries who remain there because they have no money and cannot find a chance to run away.lead 11appy Women. What is it that makes women more smiling and happy looking than men ? We imeet them on the cars, on the streets., in the country, by the seashore, always smiling, teeth a glistening, eyes a dancing. Ah! the secret is they aiin to please. It is an effort in many in stances for them to smile, and we-e it not for a desire to look pleasing and pretty many would "never smile again." Why ? Because in a large mpajority of .nstances they don't feel like smiling. They feel more like cry ing. Witb their nervous aches, weak ness and bearing down pains, life to them is a burden. What a gold-find to many a physician is a rich sick woman. Why should he aim to cure her and -deny hilmiself the pleasure of present .1ing his billi with the usual regularity.
