About three months ngo, says the
Columbus Times, a little daughter of
Mr. A. G. McCrary was taken sudden¬
ly ill and continued io grow worm
until she had lost nearly all her flesh,
and Iho parents hail almost despaired
of the child’s life. A few days ago
ho sought medical assistance, and the
child wart given some medicine whic h
caused her to throw up a button,
which all tho time had been lodged in
her throat. She began to improve at
once, and will soon regain her entire
strength.
The fallowing truly r markable story
wo get from the Columbus times:
• tuni.tf* : i •G-ttuftO incident occurred on
plant*ton of Mr. O. O. O’Neal, who
lives near Catunlu Depot, on tho Co¬
lumbus and Rotno Railroad. While
one of his hands was picking eotiou a
few days ngo n strange bird, almost
white, with a red head, dropped down,
seemingly from tho clouds, into the
musket into which tho negro was emp¬
tying cotton from his wallet. Tho
bird was perfectly tame, and made no
effort to get away. Tho negro called
Mr. O’Neal's attention to it and he
picked up the bird and varied it home
wffh lam. For sevml days tho bird
ran around tho house and seemed to
bo delighted with fife children. As
O’Neal started out to the field one day
last week tho bird jumped up on his
shoulder, and he carried it out with
him, bat while ou his way the bird
jumped down on the ground,ran along
iu front of him a short distance, and
then suddenly flow up, and continued
to go up, and , up in . a short , . circle . , until
it was out of sight. He haajheard noth-
ing of it since. The bird was set a
l>y some of the most responsible citi-
x ns in that neighborhood, , , , -who , will ...
ttetify to the above factes.”
•&JSUr rrtm
a, Io-(Iay . the iorty -sixth , Congress ,
in ""ton
Wariitngton. Mince tint hotly ad
journed from its recent extra session,
there have ove hern e r cnan,es H.-.n-rr---, in in the mi p «*/• .
$rmnd of both Senate an 1 House. In
the former, the death of Each. Cband-
let lias created a vacancy from Miclii-
gan, and ex-Governor Balcl win, ofibat
State, l*s been appointed, hy the
Governor, in his place until tho posi-
Hon can be regularly filled by tho
State Legislature. Bnt he boing a
Be publican, the political complexion
'iio hc>dy will not be changed at
present. There is hardly any doubt,
however, that Kellogg* who was so
iniqnitcuSly installed by the Ben ate bf
the Forty-fifth Congress ns Senator
from Louisinnna despite tho notorious
fact Hint he was never electee] by the
legal Legislature of that State, will
eventually lie ousted. When he is,
his place will lie filled by a democrat,
and the Senate will then stand 43
Democrats, 32 Republicans and 1 In¬
dependent— David Davis of Illinois.
The changes in tlie House have been
ranch greater since the cxlra session
than those in the Senate. At the close
of that session the House stood: 145
Democrats, 3 Independents, 127 Re¬
publican, 7 Greenback Democrats, 5
Greenback Republicans and 5 vacan-
caneies. Since that time these vacan¬
cies have been filled by the election
of 4 Congressmen from California—3
Republicans and one Democrat—and
by the election of Waldo Hutchins,
Democrat, to fill tbe vacancy in the
Twelfth New York District, caused by
the dentil of Alexander Smith, Repub¬
lican, who died before taking his seat.
The House, therefore stands nt pi ev¬
ent, 147 Democrats and 130 Republi¬
cans, with the different representatives
of tho various factions unchanged;
and counting tho GreenlmekCrs as
either Democrats or Republicans, the
parties will be represented as follows:
154 Democrats, 135 Republicans,
and thqje Independents, Messrs. Lowe,
of Alabama, and Foltqti and Speer, of
Georgia—a clear Detuoc?!Uic majority
of 16. There arc about ten con
tested cases before tbe House

justly and through fraud.
As far as we can judge from tho va¬
rious reports published in tho press
throughout the country, the majority
will be inclined to abstain from tink¬
ering with tho finances to any marked
degree, and’ certainly to no greater
degree than they can help, at this
session. Mr. Hayes, in his message,
has made certain recommendations
regarding tho currency, which will
have to be mot and discussed. In the
present healthy condition of affairs,
however, when business i3 prospering,
specie resumtion is working nlong suc¬
cessfully, and money is quite easy—a
condition of affairs for which the
country is largely indebted to the eco¬
nomical reforms and wise financial
legislation of tho Democracy, aided, of
course, hy the balance of trade being
iu our favor—it is better to “lot well
enough alone,*’ and not hazard legh-
latiou which, from the present stand-
point, can hardly be expected to
accomplish nnv mntcx'iul good, and

Tho question of a revision of the
tariff will be one of the most impor-

decidedly iu favor of at least a consul-

other issue for the Presidential cam-
paign. The party would stand as a
unit on the third term question and
make an aggressive fight against it.
