The mania for suicide in Germany
seems to have reached the school chil
dren; at least that is the inference drawn
by the New York News from an extraor
dinary circular issued by the Gerrnar
Government to directors of schools,
urging them to be more lenient with
backward pupils, on account of the nu
merous cases of suicide among the schol
ars. There is occasional criticism ol
American schools because they attempt
to force the pupils too much, but they
have not reached the stage where the
children take refuge in suicide.

According to Mr. A. C. Hadden, one of
the rules imparted to the youths by tho
old men is: “You no like girl first. If
you do, girl laugh at you and call you a

Mr. Hadden, means that the young muu
must not propose marriage to a girl, but
must wait for her to ask first. This is
quite a different thing from the ordinary

matrimonial transactions among savages.

effect that such alliances lead to tho
multiplication of criminals, and that the
real check to crime lies in breaking up
and isolating the criminal class. Testi

the same direction, and forms an in

Persons having old postage stamps

This is not so, according to the

very few of which are now in existence
in the North, and these are generally
worth more than their face value for col

1870 are as good in the payment of post

ing that iron and steel cotton-ties or
hoops for balling or other purposes, not
thinner than No. 20 wire gauge, shall be

jected—90 to 124. Mr. Breekenridge
(Ark.) moved to fix the duty on cotton
ties at forty-five per cent advalorem tax.
Mr. McKenna, of California, offered as
amendment to the sugar schedule an en

it would sweep away the exclusive juris
diction of the United States over inter
state conjnerco. Mr. Edmunds remarked
upon it as a very curious aud interesting
circumstance that a condition of things
had been reached where, according to the
debate, and according to the judgment
of the supreme court, states had no power
to deal with the subject, and congress
had no power to deal with it. At 4
o’clock the bill was laid aside, aud eulo
gies u|kui the late Representative Kelley the
were in order. Remarks in eulogy of
character and public services of Mr. Kel
ley, were made by Messrs. Cameron, Mor
rill, Reagan, Sherman, Hampton, Haw
ley and Daniel. Mr. Hampton drew a
parallel between the character und long
public services of Messrs. Kelley and

triumph of bis principles and his party.
At the close of the eulogies the senate

ported into the United States. Mr. An
derson, of Kansas, and Mr. Butterwor'h,
of Ohio, opposed the amendment. Mr.
Wheeler, of Alabama, appealed to the
house in these closing moments to adopt
the amendment proposed which by him in to
gradually reduce duties are ex
cess of fifty per cent. During this brief
discussion the house was in turmoil. De
mands of the chair for order were un
heeded. In the midst of tiie confusion,
the hour of noon arrived, and in accord
ance with the special rule adopted, and
without a vote being reached on Mr.
Baker’s amendment, the committee rose
and reported the hi 111 to the house. The
house then proceeded to consider the
amendments agreed to in committee of the

retaining liquors imported considered, into prohibi
tory states taken up and but
he was forced to yield to the prior claim
of the silver bill, which was then taken
up, and ou which Mr. Stewart of Geor
gia, made a free silver-coinage speech. and
The silver bill was then laid aside,

into prohibitory states was again and taken
up. After brief arguments, pro con
by Messrs. Evans, Hiscock and Wilson,
of Iowa, the bill went over. After the
executive session the senate adjourned.
