U-jy 't t tori" la a romantic narrative, illustrating
th? .horrors of tbe Slave Trad*, as carried on in th*
Coast of Africa. Th? author haa ferved in the navy
-and the d<w-riptioni and characters are painted
from personal acquaintance with them. The story
is foil of exciting i a teres t and adventure as the oeJ
ebrsted work of Def je, "Robinson Crusoe," ?.nd hat
tie advantage over that g'orlotu Action, inasmuch
aa it is founded on facts m every day occurrence ?
The history of the heroine of tbe story, Zuleika the
Circassian Slave, purchased at Constantinople, edu
cated and married by the reckless, yet chivalric Sey
raoar?the commander of the Albatro s, is simply
the narration of a fast painted from the life, and all

DAILY EVENING STAR.
THE ALTXRAXIOH OF THE MIWX80TA
LAJTD BILL.
That the readers of the Star may see
precisely how far the Hon. Mr. Stevens,
of Michigan, is involved in this affair, we
extract from the official account of the
proceedings on the case, as follows :
Mr. Stbvxxs. A charge has been made
against me, and it is for that reason that I
desire to make the explanation. It has
been stated to me that my name has been
connected with the matter upon which a
special committee has been appointed
this morning, in reference to the altera
tion of the records of the House.
I, as the member of the Committee on
Public Lands who reported the bill to
the House, feel myself called upon to
make a statement of such facts as have
come within my knowledge, or so far as
I personally know them?and I do so
upon my honor?in reference to these al
terations.
After this bill had been sent to the !
committee of which I am a member, and
after it had been referred particularly to
me by that committee, gentlemen who
were connected with the bill called upon
me, and requested that before it was pre
sented to the committee for their report,
certain alterations should be made in the
third section. They explained the alter
ations which they desired made. Of the
design and object of the alterations I was
then, and am even now, ignorant. One 1
was to effect legislation in Minnesota in 1
regard to lands which might be granted (
by Congress to that Territory. To de !
so, I myself struck out the word 44 fu
ture." The other alteration was in refer- j
ence to the construction that might be '
given to the word 44 or" as it then stood {
in the bill. After hearing what was 1
said on the subject, I thought it proper 1
to strike out that word, and in its place 1
to insert44 and." '
I knew, Mr. Chairman, that I had!1
stricken out the word "future," and IJ1
thought that I had substituted "and" for IJ
4'or." I presented the bill to the com-1 *
mittee. It was adopted, and I was in-1c
structed to report it to the House. I did Ic
so. It passed this body, and went to the I f
Senate. When in the other branch of I ^
Congress, my attention was again called I *
to it f1 and it was remarked that, a6 it |
was before the Sen%te, tue bill did not I
contain the alterations which I supposed 11
that I had made. I then conferred with I
one or two members of the Senate on the I
subject. They rather spoke to me on the I
subject, and I told them frank'y that 11
when I reported the bill to the House, 11
told them, in addition, that I had stated I [
the substance of it, and, as I thought, I
the alteration was made, and that, if it 11
were possible, I should be glad if the 11
changes indicated were made. This was I,
the last I heard of it while I was in the I
Senate. Subsequently, one of the clerkb I
)f the Senate, General Patton, came to 11
me in the lobby, just in front of the cen-1
tre door, and holding out the bill to me, |
isked whether it was right. On looking I
it it, I replied that I was of opinion it I.
lad passed this House different from what 1 f
it was then. I think that I said: "Gen-1 '
eral, you will find, by looking at the ori-1 _
ginal draft, that the word "and" is sub-1 f
stituted for 4or.'" Asking me to go to I
the clerk's room, I went with him there, I
and to the desk of Mr. Sproule. The IJ
matter was talked over, and there I made 11
the statement that I had supposed I had I {
altered the original draft in the wav in-11
dicated, and that when I voted for it on 11
its passage, I was under the belief it con-11
tained that very alteration. The ques-1 e
tion then arose, 4'Could the alteration be I j
made?" And I might remark just here 11
that several Senators, whose names I shall I \
not mention, stated that mere verbal al-1t
terations might be made, and that such I f
alterations were frequently made. 11
Mr. Hunt. Name them. It is your 11
duty to do so as part of the truth. 11
Mr. Stevens. I shall do what is hon-11
orable; aud I shall do no more. The|(
clerks referred Co, at once said that they 11
did not know that they had the power to 11
make the alteration. After further con-1
versation, the matter was adjourned to I
Mr. Forney's room. I went with General 11
Patton and Mr. Sproule to Mr. Forney's 11
room, and made a statement similar to 11
the one which I have already given. The I i
matter was discussed, and Mr. Forney H
asked General Patton how it was about I j
such things ? General Patton replied: I ?
44 We frequently make such alterations." I j
Mr. Forney then said that perhaps it had 11
better be made, or something like that? 11
I then left the room. I presume the al-1 s
teration was made in consequence of what I,
took place on the occasion. I'
I have stated this matter fairly and can-1 <
didly. I wish to withhold nothing. II]
wish to state everything which took 1 ]
place, however much 1 may be implicated | ?
in the transaction. However much I may I
have erred as a member of this House and I
a gentleman, I wish gentlemen to know I
it If I have erred, the error is one of I
judgment and not of the heart. I intend-1
ed to do nothing wrong. I am fully con-1
vinced that Colonel Forney, in yielding I
his assent to the alteration, supposed that I
he was only doing that which was right I
I wish to say here, that that was the I
first and last interview I had with CoL I
Forney upon the subject. I never had I
talked to Mm before about the bill, so]
help me God. I do not know what wasl
the design of the gentlemen who spoke J
to me about having the bill changed from I
its original form. 1 allude to those who I
spoke to me b3fore the bill was reported
from the committee. I say that the word
"futuer" was stricken out by me. I
intended to have stricken out the word
"or," and inserted "and" in its place. I
was not aware that it was left out until
I was informed by some gentlemen of]
the Senate, or by some person who had
learned the fact from the Senate.
Mr. Facixnbb. I wish to ask the 1
gentleman from Michigan if he has any
local or personal interest in the matter ?
Mr. SrovxNS. I have none in the
world, except that the road connects
the waters of the Mississippi with the
waters of Lake Superior ty steam nav

That is all the interest I have ia the

The Japanese "Upper Ten." The
Tapanese are fond of eggs; they boil them
lard, and eat them at the dessert like
ruit, frequently with oranges. Soma
imes they boil them in soup with vege
Ables. For people of distinction, fowls
ire kept in rooms, where they lay their
>ggs, and are fed with rice. The great
people would not eat the eggs of fowls
bat run about at their will and pick up
vhat they can find. Many keep also
swans, geese, and turkeys, but merely
or pleasure, as we do peacocks, which
iiey also have. The gall of the bear is
nade by them into a solid mass, and
i$ed as a strengthening mcdicinc, for
weakness in the stomach, and other dis
)rders. It is highly valued by the Jap
inese for its medicinal virtue, and paid
for at a high price.

Norwegians on a Propeller.?On the
ast up trip of the propeller Oriental, a
arge number of Norwegian emigrants
were on board, among whom the ship
ever suddenly broke out, and, before the
trip was ended, carried off fifty of them.
They had endured a long and tedious
ourney from their fatherland, the con
inement of closely packed cars overland,
ind where fully prepared for the incur
sions of a disease which is never satisfied
rith a few. Every attention was paid to
-heir wants by Captain Squires and his
:rew, but for which many more have
perished. The deaths occurred princi
pally on Iakf Michigan and Lake Huron.

Seasonable Advicr.?Use chloride of
Lime freely if the premises or vicinity of
jrour house is impure. If bed-bugs ai
noy you destroy them with corrosive
sublimate, beaten up in the white of on
egg, and paste it on the wood-work in
fested. If roaches abound, moisten and
sweeten bread crumbs or boiled potatous,
mix red lead with them, spread on sheets
of paper, and scatter them about in the
evening to be gathered up in the morning.
If rats or mice be the pests, use good
traps. In poisoning them you may poi
son greater folks, and if you do destroy
them in this way, you create bad odort
in the house.
