About sixty prominent members of ootii House* of Congress are in at tendance uptn the National Coiiven- ti< n at St. Louis. Many more would have been there had iUey not been unwilling to leave the pending tariff discussion in the lower House. Three days of the past week were deviHedi to the consideration of the tariff hill hy sections, under the live minute rule, hut owing to Republican ohstrue :ion, there was very little progre « made. Lumber was the main stum bling block. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, made an interesting point by reading from the Record of ls6S, showing that at that time Blaine \v;-« a fierce advocate of free lumber. But the result of this was that most of the evening was spent in discussing Blaine’s taritf record. The 1. st thing done by the House on Saturday w:is to discuss tlie Agri cultural Appropriation bill. It got into a little row over tlie question of increased salaries for clerks and offi cials for that Department, ami there wds the usual iuss about the appro priation for seeds, hut as usual the political seeds-iuen came out victori ously.

It was a very pleasant one indeed. The day passed oil' very quietly and everybody seemed to enjoy it hugely. One of the marked features of the day was that we had no candidates with ns which is not usually thu ease at picnics. There was one thing that seemed to be regretted verv much by all who were present. That was that we could not see the faces of our loving and lovable pastor and bis dear, good wife. I need not say they were miss ed. They are always missed when ever they are absent. I went to Darien Church the fourth Sunday and Saturday in this month for the purpose of preaching for oar dear brother and servant of Christ, Rev. J. A. Hegler, who has been very ill for sometime.
