House. WASUINGTON, Dec., 15.-Mr. Morri son, of Illinois, offered a concurrent *r resolution providing for a holiday re- i caes from Tuesday, December 28, until t' Tuesday, January 5th. Laid over for c one day under the rules. Mr. Morri. - son then called up the report of the 0 committee on rules, which was pre- Y sented yesterday, and the proposed n new code and rules wers read at length. p At Mr. Morrison's suggestion the f, reading of the report itself was din. b penaused with and the general debate h was opened by Mr. Morrison with a I short explanation of the proposed re- I vision. There was nothing new, he cl sald, in the proposition. He bad mere- tl ly grouped such of the propositions as Si had been submitted to the House from Io time to time as were believed to be es- Ia =ential to the speedy organization of 1i the Eouse, to the proper distribution y of its work, and to more conservative o1 and economical legislation. oi After touching briefly upon one or te two of the minor changes proposed, he ju argued in support of the distributibn to of the labors of the appropriation com- tr mittee. If the revision was adopted bc that committee would be left with th Jurlsdiction over bills aggregating an w amount 'over half the expenditures of th the government, and it was believed a by the committee on rules that to give F4 diligentand proper attention to ap- co propriation bills involving such an th asuet of money, would require all the ye ukis i l the Industry, ail the intelliga thi WblhtS8ito old be and I abny one I Wtiat-alt of the House. It was I claimed by the minority of the com malta on rtles that this would lead to iaasea~S expenditures. It would be oast ,o, he contended, If the mem bers Who should constitute other commlttees wpe less Intelligent, less honest, Ile vigilant and less capable of performing the duties that devolved on them than the member of the com mittee on appropriations. It was stated in the minority report that since the agtricltural appropriation bill had been transferred to the committee on agrl. culture, the appropriation for the agri cultural bureau had largely increased. This he accounts for by the fact the duties and powers of that bureau had largely Increased and he commented f upon the fact that though the agri cultural interest was the most import ant in the country, the last agricultural appropriation carried only one-twelfth of the money which had been appro priated to erect a public building in Philadelphia. He answered the sug gestion that the only way to get a decrease of expenditures through the Senate was to permit the Holman amendment to stand, by remarking that the Senate would hardly worry itself about increasing appropriations, which were made in the interest of Democratic officials. 'rHE FOOLISH ROOSTER. "Let me tell you a little story-a true, sweet little story-about our old farm," said the passenger from Indi ana. "On our farm we have a big barn, full to the rafters with the fra rgant hay, and back of the barn is a fragrant horse-pond. My father noble old man, with a gray beard, kindly eyes, a pleasant word for every body, and one suspender supporting a pair of baggy breeches patched with red-my dear old father, with his watchful eye for the enconomies of agriculture, concluded that the fragrant horse-pond that glistened in the sun light and smelled toward Heaven would be a good place to raise geese. So he bought a goose of a neighbor and set her on a dozen eggs. It happened that one of these eggs was a hen's egg, and it hatched out a rooster. This young rooster survived the perils of infancy-mumps, chicken cholera, rats, stones, and too big a dinner of potato bugs and Paris green, and grew to manhood's estate a bumptious, crowing, ambitions young rooster. His half sisters just loved him, and the tale of family affection which I now tell you is the prettiest thing I ever saw In t nature, with all her wondrous exam. ples for man. This young rooster got to r feeling very wellone day. He thought f he was about seven feet high, and that c he could.lick the best rooster that ever a walked a dunghill in that township. He crew on the manure pile, and he a crew on the corncrib, and he crew on C the cowshed, and he asked one of his sisters to feel his muscle. Then he r started in the direction of a neighbor, c where he had heard a young rooster b lifting up his voice. He found that o young rooster, and they called each a other names, and made faces at each other, and questioned each other's in- a tegrity for a few minutes, when they a jumped up into the air and came down together. The birds twittered in the g tree-tops and nodded in their nests, the l) bumble bee hummed towar, his home, ri the sun sank alow-down i:, the red jo west, and the boss cows told the steers thiewas the time to shed. But those at gallant young roosters fought on. at Feathers flew and blood spattered, and combs and gills disappeared, but still n the battle raged. Finally one poor young rooster was seen emerging from the smoke of battle. There was a dazed a look in his eyes. What Iiere ?ws$ a left of his tail drooped in the dust. . He - walked as it he were tired, and left a | trail of blood behind him. 'It was our a young rooster and the other rooster Swas after him. He, too, had blood on r his gills, but there was also .blood in a eye. He meant business, but stopped p to crow, "I beg your pardon, sir," said Mr. Swell to a friend, with whom he was e holding a heated argument. "I beg your pardon, sir; I ought to under. stand this matter better than you. I am a graduate of two colleges, sir." "You remind me." replied his friend e "very much of a calf my father used to own who had the milk from two cows." S "Why, how was that?" "He was a very large calf."
