Passage of Important Appropriation Bills— An Election Fraud Witness Wanted—The Chinese Bill a Check to Negotiations—Pos¬ sible Failure of the Army Bill. [From the Baltimore Sun.] RUSHING BUSINESS. Washington, February 18. The House did business with a rush to¬ day, passing two important harbor appropria¬ and the tion bills—the liver and deficiency—under the suspension ol the rules and without a word of discussion. The House can easily dispose cf the ether appropriation bills in a very short time if so disposed, but it does . not look as if there was much to show for the large number of other impor¬ tant measures which are pending. A MISSING WITNESS. The Potter committee a short time since issued a subpoena for Hardy Solo loon, of the Soutli Carolina Trust Company, but it has been returned with the indorsement non esfc. S flo¬ raon was prominently mixed up wn and h the various'investigations, State Federal, which have been made into South Carolina affairs. He is supposed to know a good deal about the impro per expenditure of money by Republi¬ can emissaries pending the action of the South Carolina returning board. THE CHINESE BILL. The Secretary of State expresses him¬ self in very vigorous language with regard to the Chinese bill just passed, and he will strongly urge the President to veto it. i ; • tie feecretary considers the action of Congress as entirely inde¬ fensible. The administration has been conducting negotiations with with the Chinese government a view to modify the present treaty regulations respecting derstood that immigration, the Chinese and it is un¬ government such has evinced a willingness to make changes in the treaty as will he entirely satisfactory. Of course diplomatic ne¬ gotiations cannot be conducted with the same railroad speed at which bills ill-advised are rushed through Congress, and that the and hasty action ol body happy is not calculated to accelerate a cosummation of the negotiations. THE ARMY BILL. There is a prospect that the army appropriation house the other bill may fail unless one or shall recede from its position in reference to the army re¬ organization. The Senate Committee has struck off at one blow the entire feature of army reorganization adopted by the House, and will report in favor of an entirely different plan. Its action will be sanctioned either wholly or partly by the Senate, and it mav be that a conference committee will not be able to reconcile the difference between the two houses.

Tv.o Claiming an Heiress. Two Hundred Thousand Dollars in a Queer Tangle. Vincent Baccigalupo and his wife, an Italian couple, came to the city of Memphis years ago, and opened a cor¬ ner peanut and fruit stand. Their business was lucrative, and in a short time they were able to establish a small barroom, which, by the care and attention of Mme. Baccigalupo, became a favorite place of resort to a profita> ble class of customers. It was not long before the couple moved into a more f ashionable quarter, and opened a still more attractive and showy place,widen¬ ing the circle of their friends until Mme. Vincent’s was known far and wide. Notwithstanding their calling, both Mme. Vincent and her husband were highly long respected, he having been named not ago as a suitable can¬ didate for the office of Ch ief Magistrate of Memphis. this daughter At about time a of the couple, and an only child, who had been at boarding school, returned home. She was a young and comely, her parents rich, and she at once be¬ came a favorite in society, and num¬ bered many eligible young men among those who paid her attentions. About this time, too, a brother of Mme. Vincent, Jas. Brizzolari wss ris¬ ing into notice as a promising lawyer. He was a member of the Democratic Executive Committee,and was believed to have good prospects of a seat in the lower House of the Tennessee Legisla¬ ture. He had an attractive personal appearance and winning manners. In¬ censed by a newspaper article which he construed as reflecting upon him, he challenged the author,’and a duel ensued, in which he was wouuded. The affair caused considerable excitement, it being conducted in an exceedingly dignified manner. It had not ceased tc be the subject of remark when it be¬ came known that Brizzolari had eloped with his niece, and efforts made to dis¬ cover 1 heir hiding place were in vain It was not until some years afterward (hat they were heard of, he as a keep¬ er of a barroom in Fort Smith, Arkan¬ sas, and she, his wife ncf longer, liv¬ ing alone in Little Ilock. Soon after the elopement another Italian, Angelo Marse, came to Memp¬ his and established a barroom that grew into popularity along with its owner. Alter he had been here three or four years he was indicted, tried,and convicted of complicity in the robbery of the office of the Memphis Chief of Police and sentenced to a long term in the Penitentiary. He served three years and was then pardoned in con¬ sideration cf good conduct. He went to Little Rock and, meeting Mrs. Brizzolari, married her. They lived together until recently, when she aban* doned him suddenly and went back to her first husband, her uncle Brizzolari. The yellow fever of last summer car¬ ried off Mine. Vincent and her husband. They both died suddenly and intestate. Their estate is valued at $200,000. Marse returned at once to this city and sent a petition to the Governor pray¬ ing to be restored to citizenship. It was backed by strong recommenda¬ tions and was granted. Just after the papers had been forwarded to Marse, the Governor received a telegram from Brizzolari acted asking that Marse’s Brizzolari petition could be not upon until be heard.from. It came too late, and a suit has been begun for the possession of the heiress ol the Baccigalupo prop¬ erty, each of the men claimins her as his wife. The New Cardinal.— Mgr Julien Florian Felix Desnrez, Archbishop of Toulouse and Narbon ne, who has just been created a Cardinal, was born at Ostricourt, Department of Nord, April 14, 1807, took orders in the Catholic Church about tbe time of the fall of the Bourbon monarchy, was favored by the Government of Louis Philippe, through whose influence he was made succes siveiy Bishop of Saint Denys and of Limoges, gave his adhesion to the Empire, was appointed Archbishop ot Toulouse in 18o9, and created an Of finer of the Legion of Honor, August pq >ht’ lights* 1865 He is a firm upholder of of Catholic clergy in France, | but h«s displayed political moderate since sentiments fall d Ul fog the crisis the tl 0 Ftcpire and he ore/ent is expected to , rl! momxe with He republican government, o J unes Beck, baggage-master of the .

London, Feb. 19.—The Third Bat¬ talion ol the Sixtieth Rifles left Col¬ chester this morning for the Cape of Good Hope. The streets were decorat¬ ed with flags, evergreens and mottoes. The corporation presented an address to the troops, wherein the hope was ex pressed that they would recover the colors of the Twenty-fourth Regiment. Col. Pemberton replied. The troops then marched to the railway station, accom¬ panied by four regimental bands. Dr. Butt intends to move in the House of Commons, shortly, the follow¬ ing resolution : “That in the opinion of the House it is essential to the in¬ terests of Ireland that the university institutions of that country should be so arranged that Irishmen of all relig¬ ions persuasions should be able to ob¬ tain the benefit of degrees and advan¬ tages of a university education, without a tions, compromise and that of in their order religious convic¬ this object, legislation to the accomplish is absolutely necessary.” on subject Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 19.—Mayor Patterson, Republican, was re-elected yesterday by over 300 majority.

New Orleans, February 19.—Re¬ ports having been recently published of the existence of yellow fever in New Oleans, a statement is made that such reports are untrue, no cases or deaths during from yellow fever having occurred here this year. Washington, February 19. — The Senatorial committee appointed to in¬ vestigate the causes of the omission ol the Hot Springs section from the sun¬ dry civil bill of last session, unite in reporting it was a clerical error, made by the overworked and exhausted clerks in the last hours of the session. The committee completely exonerated Ssnator Conover from any connection with the omission. New York, February 19. —Spagno ia, a Maltese, on trial for the murder of Martin Brake, by stabbing him with a stiletto, was on the stand in his own defence in the General Sessions to-day. He claimed he was not the man who committed the deed. The World’s Commerce. Professor Neuman Spallart, of Vien¬ na, has recently issued a treatise on the commerce of the world, which contains a carefully compiled statemen of the imports and exports of all countries for the year 1876. Reducing his values to dollars, and stating them in millions, the totals are as follows; Imports. Exports. Europe......... .$5,650,400,000 $4,336,200,000 America....... . 972,800,000 1,107,200,000 Asia............. ustralasia.. .. 489,000,000 011,600,000 A Africa........... . 237,800,000 131,400,000 224.400.000 . 150.600.000 Total...... 484,400,000 $0,526,000,000 It will be seen from these totals that the foreign commerce of all nations combined amounted in 1S76 to $14, 000,400,000, of which $7,484,400,000 co isisted of imports, and $6,526,000, 000 of exports. The total commerce of the globe is distributed among tbe several geographical divisions as fol lows: Europe, 71.25 per cent, of the whole; America, North and South, 15.28 per cent.r Asia, 8.07 per cent.; Australasia, 3.29 per cent.; and Africa, '2.07 per cent.

How to Cuke Warts.—S ome two months since I noticed in a country paper a simple remedy to remove warts. As I had no less than twenty ■ large seed warts on my hands and j , smaller ones, 1 applied this! J remedy, as published, cutting taking a common Irish potato, it in two and ap plying the juice over each wart from two to three times a day. Mine have all disappeared, all, I and, thought as this remedy is handy for it worthy of republishing. " - ; Senator Bruce says he was treated ‘like a white man in Europe, What is Honor. Mr. Frodthingham in his Sunday lecture, thus talks: “Honor naturally rises to its own dignity, and becomes what it is, the last aroma of the noble in character; the latest achievement of the great in mind. What the plant is to the fragrance and bloom of the flower honor is to the minds of those who are noble in nature. Honor is honesty transfigured. Honesty will make no false invoices, will not cheat the government, is satisfied with the letter of the law and the contract ; but there it shuts down the gates and goes no further. Honor, on the con¬ trary, reaches beyond the letter of the contract, and while recognizing busi¬ ness to be business, kindness still holds its place. In politics the honest politician has a single object in view ; his eye is on the emoluments of power ; he means busi¬ ness; he will not do anything dishonest —to be ashamed of—or allow himself to be tripped up, but he will get w hat be can and remain honest. The man of honor goes further ; it is the welfare of the country that is in his mind ; he gives his aid and co-operation, not for party politics alone, but in order that his honorable principles may be trans¬ mitted to future generations for the good of posterity, Mark the difference between honor and honesty ! The one considers only the power of the ballot ; the other the force and utility of great ideas. The one comes with his narrow prejudices to the pursuit of politics; the other brings to it a wider range of thought and seeks to widen the horizon of his mental vision. The difference is that honor concerns the integrity of the and honesty that of the will. Both Satisfied. A Kansas widower, who had iced water rather than warm blood in his veins, was engaged to a widow, but his affections was so lauguid that he was in no haste to marry her. A friend from neighboring town happening to pay a visit and to meet the charming fell in love with her, and avow¬ his willingness to marry her on the The widower offered to sell out rights, privileges and appurtenances for the sum of $250 in hand paid. His friend closed the bargain without hesitation. The money was paid, title and formal notice of widow. the change was given to the She assented to the basis of exchange, was married to the second lover, went to his house and was apparently happy. Meanwhile, the widower was moping. So long as the widow was close at hand the development of his affection had been slow enough, but when she left the town and he could see her never more, his love for her grew and and bulged out like an egg¬ plant in Florida. His blood became first tepid, then steaming, and finally it boiled. He went to the village where his charmer was cooking griddle-cakes for his friend. He hung about the he made love to her, he eloped with her. The injured husband had lost his purchase money and his wife, but he did not take it amiss. His affection, once so tropical in its rank luxuriance, had withered during the He is willing to call the “square.” He does not ask to the money returned. A Day at Andersonville. A Stroll Through the National Cemetery.

The famine is even worse than the pestilence, though both have raged—the pestilence being the p’ague.

Two ladies, both of them a little dull in the hearing,were in church the other day when the minister had for his text, “Except ye repent, ye shall all like¬ wise perish.” They listened patiently enough, but when they got out the one said to the other: “Janet, wasna yon an awful text the minister had the day ?— ‘Excep’ we pay the rent we’re a’ to be putten o’ the parish.’ ” One is a little surprised to read Quebec that the first railroad leading cut of was opened for travel on last Monday. Quebec is one ol the oldest cities on the North American continent, and has a population of seventy-five thousand in¬ habitants, yet the people ships have and hereto¬ horses fore been content with as a means of transportation. The new railroad connects Quebec with Mon¬ treal. On ordinary winter weather in Paris the services of 2,500 publicly paid street sweepers are employed, with 2,000 aux¬ iliary hands at half wages. In very bad weather 7,000 sweepers, besides in¬ spectors and chiefs, are ready at a mo¬ ment’s notice to ply their brooms in all the streets of the city. They begin at three in the morning and end at four in the afternoon. Sometimes, however, they work for twenty hours. Mr. Spurgeon regards his Pastor’s College as his favorite work. It began with one pupil, and now numbers near¬ ly a hundred. The first requirement for admission is that a man shall have preached two years; no special stand¬ ard of literary excellence or social po¬ sition is enforced. Mr. Spurgeon says the policy has been “to imitate the florist by planting a large number of slips in the hope that some of them would strike.” Among the exhibits at the French exhibition were several flasks of vege ta bi e milk, sent there by the Venezue for government.
