The Rfiwt* committee on tkr District of Co
lumbia h<*l?l a ?TTi?l MMon thi.? morning to
brat arguoi' nu in favor of and against the
plan of the board of nrTey. of which Ca|i'iii
Carlisle Patterson, United Stat* coast surver,
is < hair rami. lor the improvement of th? river
ai <1 harbor at Washington.
?'ol. W. A. Cook resumed his argument in
lav or of the improvement, and showed br legal
ret* rences and numerous derisions of the ITsited
titaUri) SiiprtJM Court that the
( Ub-il'lAKl asbohiocahal company ha*
!*?> TAUD CLAIM
to Und formed by accretion In the Potomac.
He claimed that the original act authorizing
the construction of the canal gave the company
only the right to the land through which it was
to pas*. and did nut confer riparian rights. Be
sides, if any farther reason wh? the company
is not entitled to such rights 1? necessary, it is
found In the fact that private wharves have
b? n built between the canal and the channel,
and until ww the company has never asserted l>
claim to the accretions. He further claimed that
it wat the duty of the canal compauy and not
of Washington citr. to keep the canal betwoen
17th street and Rock creek in navigable condi
tion, and that havii.g failed to do Uu? they have
forfeited their charter. Touching
THE CLAIMS or PRIVATE WHAKf-OWSIIW,
he took similar grounds in regard to accretkms.
He >lw reviewed the claims of the Washington
and Alexandria canal company, and held that
the government has a clear right to carry out
the pre>|?>*cd improvement, notwithstanding tlw
claims of this company. He clos> <l by saying
that no individual or 'artificial claims sln'mltl
stand in the way of the improvement of the
capital.
Col. Cook subsequently said he was re<|uest'-d
to say l>v several claimants ot" "vested rights"
on the river that they are not opposed u> the im
I roveinent of the river, but claim compensation
for any damage which may ensne to them in
carrying out the im|>rovement.
1'KoMiSSOR EAMTMAB, OT THE IAVAL OB*KB
VATOHT,
testified as to the unhealthfulness of the observa
tory. and said that several persons had died
there?their deaths being superinduced by tlie
malaria arising from the caiual and river. He
himself had had malaual fever, and no one on
?lutv at the observatory is safe from it. The su
I>erintendent cannot live there. Several persons
connected with the observatory are now sick
with the chills and feveT, or 'malarial lever.
The unhealthfulne*< of the location is well
know n among the officers on duty there, and no
one can live there either night or day aud retain
bis health. Were it a healthy place, the ofilcei*
could do six hours' work tier day, whereas ttu-y
now cannotdo more than fonr. It is usually fog
?v everv morning. The tilling of the go-ttrilfld
lidwclf Meadows might partially remedy this.
A railroad built along the canal below theobacr
vatory would interfere with observation*.

THE BILL.
Mr. C. R. Church called attention to the fact
thAt the plan of Improvement contemplates the
closing of the westers channel of the river,
which cohUI be done in ten days, and that is>
provision had been made for the commerce of
Washington, which won Id be entirely suspend oil
bv the closing of this channel. He believed that
this matter had been overlooked, and urged an
additional provision in the bill to secure the
commerce of Washington front interruption.
CAPTAIJt TATTERBOB El PLAINS.
Cat-tain Carlisle Patterson, chairman of the
board of survey, explained to the committee, by
means of maps, the various reasons which in
duced the board to recommend their plan for the
improvement, and answered a number of ques
tions relative to the course of the river, the tides,
high water, accretions, Ac. lie stated, as he did
before the House District committee some time
since, that be prefers the government bill, a is I
thought it singular that individual* should in
trrpose objections when it is well-known that
the government always eompensates the owners
of property taken for public uses.
Mr. Horatio N. Easbv asked Captain Patter
sou if he did not thlni Lieutenant Rives' plan
for the improvement of the channel (which pro
pose s to close the western channel and bring the
main channel on the eastern side of the river)
conld not be carried out with as little expense as
the plan of the board of survey. Capt. Patterson
replied that in his opinion the cost would proba
bly be about the same as that of carrying out the
plaa of the board of survey, but that lie 6 utterly
oppoxed to the Kives plan', liecause its execution
would Involve the creation of a large marsh on
the west side of the channel, whereas the plan
of the board of surrey, if carried out, would
reclaim sllthelow lands or marshes on the river.
.Mr. Eaety asked Capt. Patterson If lie did not
Im licve, in case Rives'plan is carried out, that
the intervening channel would absorb the rna
iaria from the marsh on the west side of tke
channel liefwre r< aching this city. Capt. Pat
terson thought not, but said tha' is a medicul
qui stion f*>r the doctors to determine.
The committee adjourned, subject to the call
of the chairman.

lumber made at the yard for some time past,
during the absence ot the firm, have been left
entirely in his hands, an account of which, with
all money*, was required to be rendered at the

lumber to be bought at the yard. Each note
they took nod care to mark in such a manner

one afternoon about one week since to this yard
with orders to purchase a load of boards, and

Handkfrekieh.
In judging of p?ople by their belongings, th*
pocket-handkerchief gives a wonderful cine. A ,
hat is not wholly without a kind of human ex
pression. It piits on something of its wearer's j
manners: it may be pert. gra\e, or apologetic.
One has been seen before this, the yep turn-up
of whose brim insulted every other hat within !
"ntbestTeet.
and again a coat is mot with that has
something decidedly characteristic in its
wrinkles. Boots betray disjosition; they turn
up at the toes and swav dewn at the heels, till
you could identify their owners from them, lint
tlie pocket-handkerchicf is the visible emb sli
ment of its user. Watch n man handling it, and
you know his character at once.
To some nervous men the pocket-handkar
chitf is really a sort of other self. They arc for
ever putting It forward; they mori about be
hind it; they pass through the world partly
under cover of it. It is a semi-disguise, a shel
ter, without which they could do nothing com
fortably. Have they to enter a room, out comes
the pocket-handkerchief, and the tir?t thing
vMbie of their entrance is its appearing through
the doorway.
Another very different class there ;c ?-*ir) ef
fectively display their harsher disp it- by
continually ill-using their pocket-handkerchiefs.
If they have to put th? m into their jswkete
they crush them In; if tliey have to pull tliani
out", tliey drag thein forth. They savagely
crumble them up. they positively make hard
balls of tliem, or else thev will shake them out
with a fillip that gives a crack like a horsewhip.
Others will weakly betray their characters bv
a neglect of their "|>ocket-handkerehiefs. At
times they allow the unaiipreciated article to
draggle out of the tail-pocket, part wav to their
heel*?limp, helpless, ruined; or they may show
no signs whatever of having such a treasure, it
being burled a wav at the very bottom of the
i<ocket; or they will let it drop loose from the
Land on scat or floor, actually losing it. A man
who exhibits such a want of appreciation of a
pocket-handkerchief as this is not to be relied
upon. He will just as easily pass over, forget,
or drop you.
A different kind of man there Is who, without
l?eing either a tyrant or a slighter of his pocket
handkerchief, is never upon good terms with it.
A perpetual tiff seems to exist between them;
they are always visibly at cross-purpose*. The
handkerchief will not come out as it ought to
do; it will not unfold properly. It will not go into
thr pocket again without compulsion.
Hut worse than any and all of these, a few in
explicable people are to be met with who pro.
duce their iiocket-hsddkerchief* hesitatingly
from unexpected places about them, and i-e
them hastily, apologetically huddling the pockct*
handkerchief away out of sight, as If ashamed of
being seen with It.?Journal.

He tokl Pomeroy that his constituents threat

awl so it would be necessarv for him to tell out
lor enough to insure his neck. He further said
that If he voted for Pomeroy he shonM never
dare to live in Montgomery county again, ami
hence he must sell out for enough to enable him
to remove to some other locality, and to indem
nity him against any sacritic*: of property he
might have to make In disposing of his effects in

Chronic nature, aad caaea given up aa incurable. H.a
treatment ia peculiar to himaelf, although there hav*
been men in all agea who have had the aaiao Mag
netic Power over tlie diaeaaea of the body aad mind.
Some call it the "GIFT OF HKALIKG," yet few
have poeeeeeed it to au< h an extent over nearly all
diaeaaea and persona. The practice ia baa?d up- u tlie
moat atrict principlea of acience; there ia nothing
miraculone or aupernatural about u; ia in karmjc>
with all natural laws.
By thia treatment it take* bnt a few minutes for
inveterate caaea of almost any curable Chronic dia
ease; and ao sure ia the effect that but few diaeaaea
require a second treatment.
