He was pardoned on rJl^?H 0Un r d t u,t the law prescribing the P. anal JV for burglary had been changed since his sentence; that he had been in the penitentiary over eighteen years, and his pardon had been recommended by two legislative committees.

The house went into committee of the whole on the Oklahoma bill andjdebated it for some time. Pending action the com mittee rose and the morning hour ex pired. Instantly a hush fell over the house ami the noise iu the galleries ceased. All eyes were turned upon Mr. Morrison, who, arising in his seat, said: “Mr. Speaker, I move that the house re solve itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the union, for the purpose of considering the revenue bills.” McKinley, of Ohio—“And on that I de mand the yens and nays.” During the roll call absolute silence reigned in the house and many members with pencil iu hand were figuring up the vote. Messrs. Morrison and Randall were ap parently among the least interested mem bers, each leaning back in his chair within a few feet of the other, while nowand then a pleasant remark was exchanged between them. The motion was lost—yeas 149, nays 154. The announcement was received witli one per cent, as provided in the bill.

Washington, December 18.—The house on motion of Mr. Word, of Indiana, took up the senate amendment to the house bill which authorized the employment of mail messengers iu the postal service. They were non concurred in and n conference ordered. The speaker appointed Mr. Bacon, of New York, to fill the vacancies on the committees on banking and cur rency and expenditures in the state de partment caused by the death of Mr. Arnot. Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, asked unanimous consent to put upon its passage the Hill appropriating $500,000 for a public building at Charleston, S. C.

They have been among tho most active workers and they have, with rave exceptions, been found antagonizing this element in the trades as sembly, to whoso. councils they have al ways hud entree and in which they have wielded material influence. Nelson has been a candidate for pi-esident of tho as sembly, but never succeeded in securing an election. George Rodgers is a member of state executive and district assembly 24 ex ecutive board; and John Foler is on the executive boards of No. 24. The promin ence of these gentlemen gives a tinge of sensationalism to the action of No. 1755 in calling on them to withdraw from the trades’ assombly, and the meet ing of tho latter body to-morrow afternoon gives promise of being a lively one. It is denied in what ought to be uuthorative circles that Grand Master Workman Pow- derly’s order to the knights to withdraw their delegates from the trades assemblies had reached here, but if it has not it iH as serted that it is expected and No. 1755 has forestalled it. It is believed other assem blies will undoubtedly follow suit and that much anticipated intereine war in labor organizations has begun. A Heavy Explosion. IndtANATOLIS, December 18.—Tlie Jour nal’s Kokotua special reports that gas was struck in well No. 2 at that point yester day, and in running tne drill the gas was by some means ignited. A terrific explo sion followed, and thirty-five persons were more or less injured. The force of the explosion threw everybody to the ground, which probably explains why the Injured are not fatally burned. Anotlirr PaKfilor Convtrluif. Norfolk, Va..

There is no other possible reason. Illu sions and hallucinations are frequent in this disease, thus showing that the mind is largely the seat of trouble. One patient sees angels, as Louise Lateau, another demons, another animals, another thinks every thing smells fishy, or everything taste sour, bitter or sweet, as the ease may he; odors arc smelt when there is nothing to smell, and tastes are perceived when the mouth is empty.

This is an acceptance which hold securely to the card a novel little charm, the pattern of which may be either a pair of gold scissors, a gold tea kettle, earrings, or some pretty silver device. Water colors are very popular, and are perhaps the most expensive of the smaller cards in tho market. Numerous pretty holiday cards are sold for five and ten cents. The subjects are artistic and well executed. There is no average price for holiday cards. They range all the way from a nlckle to f 15 and $20. The (Yinged cards are going out offhshion. Tho present mode of giving a finish to the holiday cards is very plain. There is quite a prim look about the edges of the majority of the designs. Plush corners are greatly favored, and light tint® are preferred, although there arc a number of dark rich blues, reds and olive colors, both in satin and velvet. The painted cards now take the lead. ^ ^ ^ Ison AND KAKAH ANY, A Typical Barkey Dialogue Overheard on Tenth Street Yesterday. Yesterday evening at 3:110 o’clock an Enquireiv* Sun repooter stood near a grocery store on Tenth street. Near by an ancient and weaz* n-faced colored mamma kept an “eating stand,” stocked with cooked edibles. A colored man of some seventy winters who wore a battered beaver, and who was about three sheets in the wind with tho fourth one flopping, worm-fenced his way up to the eating .stand and said: “Aunt Harann, wat you charge fur do price of one dem cook fish wid cr half pone er bread flung ecu fur eat wid um? I bin walk nine miles dlseveuin’ and I’m hongry Aim (hie) who laid do rail.” The old colored woman adjusted her head rag, and drew on her reservoir of dignity until it was nearly empty. Turning to the man she said: “Look yer! filer Isom, you da call me aunty ? You best go aunty some yuddor ’oman size mo. You old onuir fur my Aider. Fish an’ bread wuff flfteen cent, ef you aint bein’ spendun all Air dram. You’s too Aruuk fur a church man, brer Isom, you is.

You best go soak yo* head an’ sleep ’bout cr day an’ night, dat’s wot you want. Yon know wot nil you same si do.” Isom’s two red and swollen eyes shone and shut alternately like a pair of lightning hugs, and his decrepid beaver careened more jauntily than ever on the back of his white and cottony hair. He looked like a superanuated chimney sweep, and he felt like a millionaire. While tho woman was talking to him he tried to step back ward and slipped and fell in the mud. He got up brushing the seat of his imitation pantaloons, and said : /- * “Hugh! Sistah Harann.” Sarah Ann—“Don’t you sistah me nor aunty me outlier. Yon’s drunk, you ole dram guzzlin* back-slider.” “Sistah Harann! I say, sistah Harann!

The alleged con spiracy to defraud consists in accepting as trustees for tenants the reduced rents re fused by landlords. It begins to look ms if the "government had arrangeed to resist the “plan of campaign’* by arresting the trustee under it in every locality where they accept refused rents. MORE TROUBLE BREW1NO. The executive has finally proclaimed the anti-rent campaign. The new Ross board of guardians which was recently dissolved for placing a wing of tlie poor house at tho nationaUlegue’s disposal and for giving special privileges to evicted tenants, lias held a meeting in defiance of the govern ment and resolved that no rents be paid to the new board of guardians and that the treasurer lie ordered not to pay checks. A large number of Kerry moonlighters have been sentenced at Cork to eighteen months imprisonment. u.& KH* IRISH ELOQUENCE. During the past two days every shilling of rent owing by the tenants of Fossell’s estates at Listowell, county Kerry, minus tlie amount of reduction demanded by tenants and refused by landlords, has been collected under the “nian of campaign,” and has been deposited iwith trustees,; all unknown to the authorities. At a demonstration held last night in Kilrush, county Clare, in favor of the “plan of campaign,” Jeremiah Jordan,Par- nellite member of the house of commons for West Clare, and Joseph Richard Cox, Parnollite member for Mast Clare, both defied the government to do ils worst by arrests and coercion against the “plan.” These gentlemen openly declared that the “plan of campaign” would be relentlessly enforced against the largo Vandelcur es tates in County Clare upon which the rents are due to-day. “We will bring Vande- leur to his senses to morrow,” cried one of the craters, “by collecting his rents.” Kerney, member of parliament, also spoke, and said the Vamle- leurs had been murderers ever since 1840. Cox said that the; Irish nu m bers of parliament now relied upon tlie people who united one solid band from the golrlen gate of San Francisco to the se.i- board of New York, from the southern cross of Australia to the ninst northern port were resolved to a polish landlords and to gain homo rule. This agitation, he claimed, would crush coercion with this powerful organization. The Irish parly saw the freedom of Ireland before them in the immediate future. Jordan j declared that rent luid formerly been paid | 0,1 utMI , . , _, nn . li-l !,V remittances from America. The Amer- Wake snakes a.,’ rake tarrapm!

Cox had private conferences to-day with the tenants on the Vandelcur estate, arid arranged a method to lodge the rents in the hands of private trustees, which the tenants are now doing. SENDING THEIU MONEY TO FRANCE. The proclaiming of the anti rent cam paign in Ireland is accepted by the leaders of the National League as a step on the government’s part towards the su sion of the league. The funds ol have already been transferred to France in order to prevent their seizure by tlie authorities, and the rent moneys deposited with trustees will also be secreted to guard against their seizure. France. THE SESSION CLOSED. Paris, December 18.—The chamber of deputies, in accordance with the recom mendation of the government, to-day adopted tlie provisional credits as amend ed by the senate. M. Flouquet read the decree closing the session of 1880. Poor Hiilgariii. Paris, December 18.—Tlie Journal des Batts publishes a dispatch from Berlin stating that Germany, France, Russia and Turkey are in complete accord on the Bul garian'question. The dispatch adds that "Turkey is to continue to have the initiative in advancing proposals respecting the Bul garian question, and that the three other powers named are to accept the proposals made, but does not say whether or not there is to be a previous understanding as to the nature of what will be proposed. In addition to the foregoing, the lies Batts’ telegram contains the statement that < Jar- many advised Austria to join in supporting Turkey’s proposals, and. refused to guar antee her against the consequences ol' a double-dealing policy.
