A Bra Ptltj.?Kentucky has able rep? resentatives in both houses of Congress. Mr. MoOreery stands in the front rank in the Senate, and Mr. Beck among the foremost in the House. The latter gen? tleman made a speech recently on the naval appropriation bill, a specimen from' whioh is very good reading, and shows the quality of the man. He said: "Twenty millions ought to produce something; and we have given that amount every year to the navy. Let the gentleman from Maine [Mr. Hale] tell his people in the next eanvass tbai Oongress has given to the Navy Depart? ment over ?20.000,000'a year, raised by taxation on the products of labor, for the last four years, while not a new ship has been produced; and lot him oxplain what,an immense sum 820,000,000 is. A Bhorfc time ago, I asked tho director of the mint, 'Why do you not ooin silver, which yon can get at a discount for greenbacks, at the rate of $3,000,000 a month, so that wo oun have silver for ohange, instead of fractional currency?' 'Sir,' replied he, 'do you know that a million of dollars of silver weighs thirty tons', and that it is no easy thing tp handle ninety tons of silver in a month, and make it into ten oonts, quarters and half-dollars?' Let me tell tho gentleman from Maine, what ho might not think prudent'to tell his pooplo, that during every year for three years, we have boen giviog tbo Navy Department $20,000,? 000?or, in plainer terms, 600 tons of silver coin \ so that if you should load wagons, with a ton of silver eaob, and allow twenty yards to bo oocupied by each wagon, they could not drive through the gentleman's district in single line in a prooeesiou sovon miles long. Letsnoh aprooesnon drivo through the gentleman's district, in view of his constituents, so that they could realize these facts, and let him tell tho people that all this went into the navy every year, and that for Bach expenditures we have nothing to show?nothing but navy yards and their civil establish? ments, nothing but voters, nothing but rotten hulks?and there will be a Demo? crat in bis place in tho next Congc/?ss to a certainty." [Laughter."] Does the Bible inhibit suicide? Sbuk Hpeare makes Hamlet exclaim, "Ob, that the Almighty hud not sot his canon 'gainst self-slaughter." The word sui-j cide, of course, is not in the Bible; and, if old Gruden was not guilty of tho sin of omission, the Anglo-Saxon syno? nyms, self-slaughter and self murder ore not there. Samson's immolation made him hcroio to the Jewish mind; Ahnb is nowhere denounced for self-murder, and even the "taking oil" of Judas Is cariot is merely mentioned as a natural Bfrquence of a weak aot of treachery. Of course, tho deoaioguio inhibition of mnrder would cover tbo case, but not as an express oommnndment would have done. Now, is this omission referrnble to the rarity of suicide among tho Jews, or did Moses rocoguizo tho fact thatl suicide may in some cases be commend? able? Borne of the early fathers of the' Christian church expressed their ad mi ra? tion of suolr snioides as those of Aria,1 Virginius and Socrates. It has been charged that many of tho early fathers themselves wero equivalent suicides,' and henoe Dr. Donne's lliathanalos, it* so often tortured into u defence of sui-i cide on general principles rather than on special oases it was intended to vin- i dicate. "It snows," oried tho school boy yes? terday, and he notonly cried "itsnows," but he would pick up handsful of the snow, turn it over two or three times in the palm of his hands, and then scud it whirling at some uufortunuto pedes train who was trying his best to navi? gate through the storm. And just be? fore the snow-ball would leave' the bands of the boy, ho would shout, "Look out I" and tho pedestrian would turn around just enough to eitch the ball on the tip of the noso. In case tbo ball missed its mark, it would be sure to go ornohing through the glass window of a store near by. What few sleigbs we have in tho city were all out yesterday, I and their owners were having as much fun as they could out of what snow there was and the soft ground tbut is covered, A|| tbo fun tbnre was filnighing, yester? day, was in turning ovor tho sleigh, I and onr strioot crossiugs are fine for do? ing [that, for all you havo to do is to turn tho corner short and over you go. An unpleasant sensation bus been oc? casioned in Pittsburg, Pa., by tbo dis? covery there of several cases of poison? ing criminating a physician of that city. The number of deaths in a portion of the oity, known asTcmperancoville, has led of late to muoh gossip among the residents, and soon there wero whispers of foul play, which by degrees assumed the form of direot charges, und the per? son branded as being instrumental in hastening off the populetion is n well known praotioing pbvsioian, named Dr. Wm. Smith. I JJWhss the cock and the fox went on board the ark they hud no fear of bag? gage smashers; for one bad a comb, and the other had a brush, and tbnt was all the luggage they bod between them.
