WASnIxNOTON, June 20 -The final adjournment of the two houses of Congress did not occur until 7 o'clock this morning. The sundry civil bill, the last of the appropriation bills, was finally acted upon by both houses before 1 A. M., and the interv, ning time was occupied by the enrolling clerhe of the House in putting the bill in shape fr the signature of tLe presiding officers and the President. It was considered rather provoking that over 300 Senat ors ond members were compelled to remain in their respective chambers all night waiting upon the tardy action of two or three clerks. The clerks did the best they could, as the sundry civil bill was very long, and the action of the con ference committee had changed very much the shape in which it had pas sed the Senate, but it was thought rather strange that extra clerical la bor was uot employed. After 1 o'clock this uorning the disorder in the House became more general, and as it was shown to be useless to attempt the transaction of any business, recesses uere ordered from time to time. It is no more than just to say that there was less i:itoxinatiun exhibited than has here tofore been the case in the closing hours of a session, but still there was enough of it to keep 11p tihe reputla tion Of the [ouse in that line. Dii ring the s'ecesses memnbers amused hmselves by improvised concer s At one time a score of imembe s stod in a row, with tle w leho torce of pages behind them is a chor us, an11d sang with great &usto ' Ilm01IL Sweet Iloe," "'Thie SweectI By and Byv," 'CJohn Brown'a Io(dly Lies Aliouldering inl the (rave," &c. until the roiA fairly echoed with the ounid. Chant agne flowed freely in one ot the committee rooms, "vet up" in pure goodniess of heart by the kiig o: the lobby (Sam Ward) for he in sisted that there was nothiing pend ing in w hich lie had any interest. This beverage seemed to impart ifs own spat kiling q ual ities to those who par'to( k, as flashes of wit and j.epar tee went arounld, and jo one0 was ill hutmiored. WVhile the Ihouse was in actual session the duties of the Speaker' were v'ery arduous, as it dlevolved upon him to do thie dignity for the whole body. The Sergeant at Arms, at the order of the Speaker, several times paraded up and downi with hiis mace, but this ablibition of author'ity always had -the contrary' effect to that which wias intended. After daylight~ this morning, Geni. BIutler', with a twinkle on his eye, rose up and offered a resolution to purebhase for the Speaker' a new gav. ci, in) place of thec one which be had pounded to pieces in (as the reso lution said) bis "fruitless'' efforts to pireser've or'der. This was adopted by acclamation. The crowds in the galler'ies and in corriidor's showed no p~erceptible dimtrinutLion till long piast midnight, aind when the finial ad journment took place there was a goodly spr inklo of spectators in the gal lar ies of both ho~uses. W ithinu ifteeni minutes of' seven, Mr'. R.ainey, of the commn~ittee on enrolled bills nps yecaredJ at the front door of the hall of the house wvith a copy of the en rolled sunidry civil bill in his hand, and as lie swif-ly passed to the Speaker'r desk with the bulky roll of p~archmuent in his hand the members showed their gratification by loud api lause. Thme great anxiety was to get the President's signature to the bill be fore 7 o'ch,ck, so a to obviate t he ne cessity foi- another extension of the time of aidjournmenit. It was at this time abdut four minutes to 7. The President, who bad been at the cap ltol all night, was surrounded by sev, eral memberB of .the Cabinet, 611 bill was handed to him. Ho got Up from the chair, came over to the ta ble, rubbed his eyes, spread out the bill very slowly and carefully, and in the same wanner took up his pen and wrote with the deliberation of a writing master,' "Approved, R. B. Hayes." By this time it was fully 7 o'clock, and there was nothing to do but resort to the familiar dodge of turning back the hands of the great clock which marks time for tie Sen ate. Then one minute was left, which was devoted to executive -session, probably theshortest on record, and noininations for Commissioners to consider the subject of removing the naval observatory were confirmed. The President pro tom. (Mr. Ferry) then delivered the usual brief closing remarks, which the presiding officers appear to think incumbent on them, brought down his gavel, and declared tho Senate adjourned without a day. Impatient of their enforced stay dus ring the whole night, Senators sep, crated very unceremoniously, and in threo minutes the chamber was de, sorted. The Speaker had already de clared the House adjourned sno die, and the members had departed even more quickly than the Senators, and the busy, bustling hall wans given over to solitude. Tho President with his party had left as soon as his signature was pub on the last of the bills. It, was noticed that during the night his room did not seem to be a popular place of resort for the Senators, as has generally been the case when a President is at the capitol. The few Senators who went in did not tarry long, but., after payinl their rCSpects, came out. None of the pi'[omiliet .I'lpublicans were mioIIg thenm, with perlhap1s one or two Cx Ceptions. Thjle Preside:.t made him self as agreeable as po.ssible. lie had refreshments in the shap1e of a lat ge pit cher of ice water, w hicih, however, did not appear to be m1 uch in demand. It was said that moi than onice du rin g the uigh certain imembers of the Cabinet got a little tired of ice water anid frtively made thejir way to an, otheri room not far distaint, where more stimulating bcvera:,ges were dis, penised. Tbc hePresidenut on returniing to the White 11ouse went to bed(, and did not rise uniitilI quite late in the day. Ie did not receive general callers, but gave audience to such Senators and members as called. TOMATO .jEAEs.-A statement comes from South America that ai sin~gular property of t he tomato leaves has been discovered by a fruit grower. Ihaving cut down some tomato vines, he used them as a mulch around his peach trees. ie soon1 discovered that the curculio, which was dlestroying his fruil had abandoned the trees surrounded by the tomato vines, which proved a per1fect protection not only ngainst the curculio, but against other noxious insects, ie found also, by steeping in water some fresh leaves of the tomato and sprink I ng the infusion upon other planits, the innumerable insets which cov'er ed them were driven away. Some gardeners have tried the rcnmedy, some by accident and some by inten, tion, and their success wvas remark, able. One gentleman had his apple trees r'avaged by the cur'culio until last year, when lie secured a splendid crop. IHe knows no cause for his ex emption from the curculio, except the tomato plants that wecro grown for the first timo among his trees.

The Wilmington Star, of June 22, says: The attention of scientists has recently been attracted to the neigh borhood of Mr. A. R. Black, formerly sheriff of this county, upon Middle Sound, some ten miles east of this city, by the discovery there of large quantities of human remains of an unknown race and period, scattered at intervals along the ocean front (f this plantation. Yesterday a party of gentlemen attended Mr. Black, at his request, upon the opeihing of two mounds which he had discovered and which he conjectared contained s0me memorials of the aboriginal inhabitants. Nothing unusual was found in the first mound, but the examination of the second resulted in a very interesting discovery. Digging a ciretilar well in the centre of the mound, at a depth of six or seven feet, there was found a circu ]ar deposit ot charred coals, mingled with fragments of human bones, which had evidently lain there In disturbed for a long period of time, and in their original deposit. The c1 gentlemen enployed verified por- w tions belonging to the human cra- t< nium1, vertebio, tihe clavicle, h1n- G Inmeru ulna and pohalangus. These rI fragnients were, however, too 1miintie u f'or more particular identification.- 0 Among the bones tbev discovered a s< black, glitterin2 and unknown sub- o stance ese.;blihg niea, wl ich t hey reserved for furt her examination, li and a ifine specimen of brown and S tranmsp:a rent qtariz.
