from tlie committee on post offices
and post roads some days ago, provid
ing for tlie recluslttcation of mail
matter, and readjustment of tliecom-
peiuatioii paid to railroads for tlie
transportation of mails. It will be
substantially tlie same provisions as
wore agreed upon in the post route
bill of last year, which bill failed to
become a law on account of the Bra
zilian mail subsidy and other objec
tionable amendments thereto. In

Sad as tlie loss of our troops is still
graver is the peril, which must arise
with their defeat. The Zulus will be

MORE OF THE ZULU VICTORY.

London, February 11.—The fol

port my disastrous engagement on
the 22d of January between the Zulus
and a portion of No. 3 column, which
was left to guard the camp about ten
miles in front of the Rorkes drift.
Tlie Zulus came down in overwhelm
ing numbers, and in spite of the gal
lant resistance by five companies of
tlie fourth battalion of the twenty-
fourth regiment, one company of the
second battalion of tlie twenty-fourth
regiment, two guns, two rocket tubes
one hundred mid sixty-four mounted
men and about eight hundred nutlves,
overwhelmed them. The ejunp con
taining all surplus ammunition am!
the transport of No. 5 column was
taken, anu hut few of its defenders
escaped. Our loss, I fear, must lie
set (town at 50 officers, and about 500
1,000 here alone. At the camp where
the disaster occurred the loss of tlie
enemy is estimated at over 2,tx)0.

Taking the Vole In the House of t om-

Tlie piode of taking u division is
really very remarkable, as described
by the great authority on these sub

ent Clerk of the Coininmis). It is as
follows: No member is permitted to
vote in the division unless lie was
present when the question was put.
To be in either of the two lobbies is
not to lie "ill tlie House.” Tlie offl-
raoftho House clear tlie lobbies of
all members; any member may retire
to rooms beyond tlie lobbies, if they
wish neither to quit the building nor
to vote. The next step Is to Issue all
order for strangers to withdraw. The
rule is less stringent now than it was
half aeentury ago; us it will suffice
if strangers withdraw from behind
the bar and from tlie front gallery.

is very quiet. Two thousand men are
engaged in tiie movement hut it is
expected that they will return to
library, refreshment-rooms, waiting-
rooms, ike., and members who wish
to take part in the division hasten
Into the House before the two-mlmite
glass bus ceased running.
Tlie division proper is a curiously
managed ceremony—very round
about in the estimation of many per
sons. After the .Speaker bus cried
"Order! order!" tlio sergeant-at-
arms, with Ids doorkeepers and mes
sengers, close and lock all tlie doors
leading into tlie lobbies, corridors,
passages, etc. No member outside
can enter, nor any within make their
exit; the number within the cham
ber is tlius strictly definite, and all
must vote, t'ntil 1838 it was the
custom for one party or section to go
into a lobby, while tlie other re
mained in the House; but since that
year the Ayes have been directed to
pass into tlie lobby at tlio .Speaker's
right hand, while the Noes walk into
tlie lobby nt his left. The Speaker
names members to net as tellers, se
leeted Impartially from auioiig the
supporters and opponents of the mo
tion, two of each ; and tlie members
named are not allowed to shirk this
duty. They place themselves at the
lobby doors, two by two, each to
check tlio counting of the other. Two
clerks as well as two tollers are placed
at each door, holding alphabetical
lists of nil the members of the
House printed on large sheets of
stiff pasteboard or cardboard.
As tho members return into the
House from the lobbies, tlie clerks
mark off the names; while at the
same time the tellers count tlie total
'number without noting names. (If
nay one is disabled liy infirmity from
entering and quitting the lobbies, lie
is counted ut Ills seat in tho House.)
Wlieii all have re-entered from the
lobbies the four tellers approach the
table; one of them belonging to tlie
majority on this particular question,
announces tlie numbers; mid when
tlio Speaker has endorsed or sanction
ed tills announcement, the important
but slowly managed ceremony ends—
often amid loud cheers from those
meniTipRi Who constitute thu Tflajrrrtty j-
on that particular question. A mem
ber sometimes goes into tlie wrong
lobby through Inadvertence; there is
then no escape for him; nolens nolens
his vote is recorded according to tlio
lobby in which lie finds Id nisei ft
During the past session, instances of
such misadventure were not infre
quent. Iustanees have been known
in which even a cabinet minister’s
vote is recorded on tlie side which lie
really intends to oppose—much to ids
own mortification. A member thus
awkwardly placed usually takes some
mode of making the facts known to
Ids constituents and tlie public; hut
the official record remains unaltera

One time, Henry Ward Beecher

tlie afternoon lie went into a barber
shop of great tone and refinement
to be shaved. The barber was a gar
rulous little fellow will) entertained
Mr. Beecher while ho lathered his
face, with intellectual conversation.
He asked, “Are you going to tiie
lecture this evening? Going to the
lecture?”
“Oli,”.Mr. Beecher replied wearily,
as a mull who didn’t take much stock
in lectures, "I don't know; who's
going to lecture ?”
“Why,” the amazed burlier
claimed, "Kev. Henry Ward Beecher;
of Brooklyn. Going to lecture to
night, in Music hall.”
Mr. Beecher roused up a little with
an air of iudiflerent interest. “Oh,
well," lie “if lie is going to lecture, I
guess I'll have to go.”
“(lot your tickets?" tlie burlier rat
tled on. "Got your tickets? Got your
tickets?”
“No,” Mr. Beecher replied, “I have
no ticket.”
The barber laughed merrily, “Ha,
lui, ha,” lie shouted. “You'll have
to shisd op ; you’ll have to stand u|
Heats all gone two days ago; you’ll
have to stand up.”
“Well, now,” said Mr. Beecher,
with an air of grave vexation, “do
you know that is just my luck? I
was in Brooklyn last Sunday, and
went over to Plymouth church twice,
to hear that fellow preach, morning
ami evening, and both times I hud to
stand up all through tlie sermon.
And us lie went away, tlie still un
enlightened burlier laughed at tiie
man who would “have to stand up’
at Mr. Beecher's lecture.
