" Crutcbfield, of Tennessee, asked leave
to offer an amendment to tho supple-!

penalty against any woman who refuses
an offer of marriage on account of raco,
color or previous condition of servitude.
[Laughter.] Butler, of Massachusetts,
objected. In tho oonrse of his speech,
Butler said: If he might be allowed to
speak for the Republican party, he j
would embody the aootrino in a sontence
?not that all men were equal, but that
evory man had a right to be tbe equal
of evory otbor man. All constitutions,
all laws, all enaotments, all prejudices,
all caste, all custom, all thought againBt
tbat, in oontravention of that, were
unjust, wioked, unchristian and certain?

* bill only removed all impediments to
* evory man to be tbe equal of every
other man, if God had given him tbo
power to b3 tbe equal.
Monroo, of Ohio, from tho Commit

baok adversely tbe resolution offered
yesterday,*bj Sypher, of Louisiana,
directing army rations to bo issued for.
relief of tbe starving poor in the South?

over the matter fully and freely, and
tho Tosult arrived at was, tbat tbe com?
mittee did nut regard it as tbe sphere of
Congress to enter into a general system
of providing for pauperism in the
States. If this precedent were estab?
lished, it would soon be found that Con?
gress had entered on the whole business
of taking charge of pauperism gene?
rally throughout the States. The report
was adopted, and tho committee was
discharged from tbe further considera?
tion of tbe eubjeot.

How Briggs' Bady was Treated ?
Thomas Briggs, of Twelfth street, has a
boy baby about ten mouths old, who is
admitted at the beginning of this article
to look just like his father, and to be
the smartest boy baby of his ago in De?
troit. Yesterday morning, the child
was sitting ou tbo floor, playing with
live or six big coat buttons ou a string,
und taking uu occasional nibble at an
apple to bring out his first crop of tooth.
Mrs. Briggs aud a neighbor were talking
away as only womeu can gossip, when
tbe baby hid the buttons under a ma*,
and started to finish tho apple. A bit of
the bkiu got iu his throat aud ho gave a
cough and u whoop and pawed the air
and rolled over on his head. "Ob,
them buttons! he has swallowed them
buttons!" cried the mother, as she
yanked him up and shook him. "Pound
him on the back I" yelled the other
woman, trying to hold thu baby's leg*
still. "Bun for the neighbors!" cried
Mrs. Briggs. "Oh, he'll die! he'll diel"
screamed the other, as she ran out.
And the neighbors came in and made
him lie ou Ins stomach and cough, und
theu turned him ou his back aud
rubbed his btumach, and joggled him
about all sorts of ways uutil he
got mul uud he went to howling.
Theu a boy ran for Briggs, aud Briggs
rau for a doctor, aud the doctor cum?
and choked th.< baby, and ordered sweet
oil aud mustard plaster, and told them
to hold him ou bis back. Everybody
knew that those six big buttons were
lodged in that baby's throat, because he
was red iu the fice, and because he
dtrang'ed as ho howled and wept. They
poured down sweet oil, aud put mus?
tard across him, and wept over him, and
the mother said she could never forgive
herself. Boys drove by calling out,
"Slab wood for sale!" and tbo scissors
man went by shouting, "Sburp! sharp!"
but that distressed crowd held tbe baby
dowu and bhed their tears over his
whole leugtb. The doctor was looking
serious, aud Iiriggs was thinking that
he hadn't dune unything to deserve such
a blow, when one of tho women pushed
thu mat und discovered the buttons.
Then everybody laughed and danced,!
and they kicked tbe sweet oil bottle
under the bed, threw tbe mustard
plaster at the doctor, and Mrs. Briggs
bugged the howling angel to her bosom
und culled him bor "wopsy topsy hopsy
dropsy popsy little cherubim."

Spiritualism and Faro.?Some years;

racing going on, eo be could give tbe
subject bis undivided attention. He in?
vited a frieud to go with him and see
Foster, or some other circulating me-!
dium, und my friend went. But he told;
me that it surprised htm very much to
see Mr. McGrath slip u fml deck of:
cards iu his pocket before starting. It.
scarcely seemed possible that Mr. Mc-|
Grath intended to propose a game of ,
spiritual saven-up, or to attempt to beati
some uuhappy ghost out ot every rap1
he bad at draw poker, which is sup
posed to be au emphatically blue grass!
game. Well, uwuy they sailed, andj
found Foster in. I found him out once,1
immediately after finding him in. Fob-,
tor gave him his usual circus, aud Mr. j
McGralh sat it through in solomu awe.
and silence. Sometimes a shade of im?
patience was visible, but his face looked1
radiant at the conclusion. "Mr. Fos?
ter," ho said, as ho laid tho usual honor?
arium down ou the table, "this is won-:
darful, uud you deal a yquare game, you
do, 1 do beli-.vo. But there's just one
thing more X want you to try, and if'
you do it and I don't givo you just the
best farm in Kentucky, my name ain't
Price McGruth," aud down went his
hands into his coat pocket, and out he
tidied the pack of cards. "There,"
giving them a scieutiiio bluo grass
shutile, uud slapping them ou the table,
backs up. "You just tell me what the
first card is without turning it over,"
and his breath came slowly in expecta?
tion, Price McGrath's did. Foster
couldn't, and Mr. McGrath turned sadly
away, leaving the cards behind him iu
his bitter di.appointment. "If Foster
could jnsta-tuld me what that curd was,"
he said to my frieud, as they slowly
walked up Broadway, "I'd a-just made
our everlasting fortunes. I'd u-tuken
him with me, und we'd u-busted every

To Dance and Yet re Prudent.?Be
very careful not to pull down your
shirt sleeves, or up your collar, or, iu
fact, to do anything to your costume as
you enter the bull-room. It implies
nervousness or uneasiness with yourself
to do eo; and your one great endeavor
in all societies should bo to lippeur tho
roughly at your ease, and satisfied, with?
out vanity or coxcombry, with your
dress und appearunce. Do not stand
idle; but do not dance over-much. Tho
one implies a small number of friends;
tho other wastes valuable time, and pre?
vents your keeping thut constant look?
out all around you which is essential to
success. Be introduced to kuowable
people quietly; thero is no necessity to
advertise to by-standers that you did not
know them before. Never talk much to
a woman you have only just made the
acquaintance of, nor eagerly. She may
be allowed to suppose you wished to
know her, but not that ber acquaintance
is any particular acquisition to you.
Above all things, my dear boy, I ou treat
you not to stand iu tho doorways, nor
herd with other men upou the lauding.
It is simply advertising yourself a fail?
ure. Tie yourself to tho veriest wall?
flower, gossip with the dowdiest mo?
ther, dance with the most disappointed
of the maidenhood, rather than sink to
this. Sitting in corners comprises a
very hirgo subject, or, rather, array of
subjects. To kuow how to sit in corners
well and prudently requires a vast expe?
rience and a steady head; so, until you
have much exteuded your acquaintance
and your knowledge of humanity, I
would recommend to you to avoid that
most agreeable of tho pleasures of ball
going. It is not for u novice at once to
penetrate to the inner depths of fashion's
mysteries, and I shall therefore put off
my advice on this subject until 1 come,
in a future letter, to tbo great subject ol
flirting, which of course comprises the
art of sitting in comers.

Strikes.?What uro now popularly
known us strikes in this country uro of
no recent origin. It is ouly within a
fow years, however, that they have as
yumed the character of efforts for an in?
crease or against reduction of wages.
Iu England, during tho past century,
several trade demonstrations occurred
on grounds that look most frivolous to
us of this iige. That at Tiverton was
caused on account of tho introduction
of worsted yarns from Ireland. Iu 1791,
tho buckle-makers of Birmingham pe?
titioned Parliament to prohibit the use
of shoe-strings! Ou refusal, a "shoe
string riot" resulted. When composi?
tion rollers were introduced iu the Lon?
don printing houses, about 1821, in lieu
of "halls," u general strike ensued
among pressmen, followed by riotous
demonstrations. When tbo first rail?
roads were being made iu England, the
owners of coach Hues incited bitter ani?
mosity against them, and the workmou
frequently Lad to be protected by mili?
tary force. Wo might cite muuy ench
cases in England, but wo luow of none
similar iu this couutry. It was long the
short sighted view of iguoraut men thut
new labor-saving machinery, railroads,
etc., would make their "occupation
gouo;" but experience shows that the
men, horses or capital killed in oue
branch .of industry aro soon diverted
into othors. Nay, more, that froquoutly
new branches of manufacture uro cre?
ated, requiring an immensely larger
number of men and more capital. The
American people realized ? this much
sooner than the English people, oud
hence tho superior development oi in?
ventive genius among us.

Ouo of the oldest aud best citizens ol

iu tbe death of Mr. Hampton Watts
We hardly remember any Christmas J
holidays marked by murders as those of j
1S73 have beeu. We do not intend to |
oatalogue them, or to say of them more
thau that New England seems to bare u
little above a fair share. It cannot,
however, ba denied that much more
than a moiety of these tragedies appear
to have bad their origin in bard drink?
ing; nor is it all a new thing for men
and womeu to make merry Christmas
mournful by getting drunk. In this
reapect, however, Christmas does not
differ from other festive days, iuuioding
tbe Fourth of July. Somehow, merry
making is always thirsty.
