A Washington letter says: "Nobody here will speak seriously of the bill introduced by (tol. Frank Wolford, ef Keutuckv, to grant aniflcial legs and arms to Confederate soldiers and sail ors, or ibelr equivalent in money. It is considered by Democrats from both Ndrih and South as the idle diversion or vagary of an eccentric man. Colonel Wolford has many personal friends wbo admire him for his simplicity, manhood and fine war record, but tterais not a Democrat in Congi-css who does not think he made a bad break in intrdducing this bill. This wet on the port of tte gallant Kentucky Optone! tea subjected him to no end of diaagreealde discussion. Tbe di*- enaaion created by tbe act, however, is only aorious as for as it relate- to the Mcaffarftlte of Colonel Wolford.

Columbia’s # population, metaphori cally speaking, poured en mueae into the Opera Uuuse again last night, all eager to catch the last words that fell from Mr. Moody’s lips and to hear tbe sweet svmp|iony that came from Mr. Sankcy’s voice. As on tho pre ceding night standing room was in demand. The services were opened by sing ing "Along the River of Time We Glide.” Messrs. Bliss and Sankey both took part in tbe vocal exerciteu. "Christ Ileceivntb Sinful Men” was next sung; alter which the congrega tion was led in prayer by the Rev. Jas. H. Thornwell. In response to a number of requests, Mr. Sankey sang the "Ninety and Nine” with his ac customed sweetness and exprcssioH* "Ring the Bells of Heaven” was then sung by tbe whole assemblage, and Mr. Moedy stepped forward and made a short preliminary address before goiqginto the regular sermon. These remarks were made mainly in the intore«t of tbe Young Men’s Christian Association, with a view of strength enlng the 'work of this organization and of enlisting sympathy iu its behalf. He was strongly in favor of tiie Y. M. C. A. and, said he, "I want to com mend it to you. It is s great institu- tdtiou and should have your warmest sympathy. Such an organization with a nicely arranged place for young men to meet and spend their evenings 'I think is needed. There should be a well equipped building in this city, costing from ten to twenty thousand dollgr*, for tho use ot the Y. M. C. A. with reading rooms, gymnasium am such like, that would attract and interest the young. Your churches are closed at night through the week, but your saloon* and places of vice arc not. I don’t think it is the love of liquor, hut that innate desire lor sociability, that attract* young men They waul tome place to spend their evening* and meet their friends, and they’ll find it. Uusiness men should take hold of this matter; it’s a good invastuient. But you say “it costs something.” To be sure it does; hut are not your young men worth *pend iug something on? It cost 910,000 in Penuaytvauia not long ago to hang yonng man. Don’t you think it much better to pay tor saving than hanging him? The Y. M. C. A. had been tbe mean* ot accomplishing great good, and he hoped it would be upheld here. When he had concluded Udt little talk he announced the text for his farewell sermon Mark, 12th Chapter, part of the 84th verse: "Thou art not far from ike kingdom of God.” Mr. Moodf commenced by saying that H e men that thought they were neared tho,kl6gdom of God In Chrid’s day. the Ptetloec*, were in fact the farthest from it. They believed in Ihefr external devotion, but these are of little consequence. There are a good msny here to-night that I believe are not tar from God’* kingdom. The t»*i*t tew lilght* I’ve seen it in this hall. 1 want you to become truly persuaded to-hlght. Thousands make shipwreck oi their soul* by trying to compromise with God. You can’t get Into His kingdom without making a full, clean •weep. There are onl v two roads in thi* world, dear friend*. One lead* up to heaven and the other down to hell, if you are holding on to an\ secret sin may God help you to give it up right now. U' there are any here to-night who have made up their minds not to become ChrUtian* it were bein r for them never to hear another sermon. The gospel either hardens or sodeii* That is the teaching of God’s word. There are preacher* here to night who have people in their congregation that nothing will move. They have be come so hardened that preM-iiiug has no effect now upon them. May you make up your minds ibis hour not to be sausiied by being near (lie kingdom of God, but may you tfake up your mind* to enter in. My friend*, we may never meet again, but I beg, whatever you do, do not miss Gotr* kingdom. We bear the cross here for only aiitUe while and lay it down to lake up our crown in httven. Are I 'ou going to let some companions augh you out of becoming u Christian ? If any one want* to sneer at Chris tianity let them suuer, bat I beg you to take your stand for Christ. This brief and disconnected synop sis gives but a faint idea ot this mag uifleent and feeling discourse. It was listened to with rapt and sincere at tention, tbe dosing sentences were fraught with pathos and touched deep ly the emotions of the vast assemblage. A* soon as lie finished his sermon Mr. Moody took his leave from the Opera House, iu order that lie might r fo to the inquiry meeting at the Wa-h- ngton Street Church. The Rev. Coke Smith led the service* for LKOUUMTIMG ABOUT LABOfe.

John Holman, of Indiana, who lias been engaged iu organizing the agen cies for the collection of the Hendricks monument fund, reports very ifcvora bte news from ali quarters. The original idea, he -ays, was to try ant raise a fund of $100,000. To accoin pli-h this ten thousand agencies werp established and an average of ten dol lar* each was desired. The contribu tions were to be as small as people wanted to give. The time set for the re port was the first of April, and quite a number of reports have already been received from small agencies of from 912 to 915. About 95,000 will be the result in Washington and perhaps as much from Philadelphia and twice aa much from New York. On tbe basis of present returns the fund will be up wards of 9150,000.

Horn® of th® B««aUfttl Might* That Glad- ' A®it the Gag Italian Maart. ( from the Saturday Review.) On a bright day, it cannot be denied that thesu carnival procession* are a pretty sight. Almost ail thq house* which they pa** are gayly decorated. Some of the occupants arc instigated to take tbe trouble and expense by public spirit, others by the hope of gaining a prize, ami others again by (tie mercenary consideration that they will he able to let their windows at a higher rate if they look strikingly attractive. The pavements are throng ed by a crowd of spectators, among whom there is a fair sprinkling of masks. As the procession moves slowly forward a shower of bouquets pas* to aud fro between the cars and tbe balconies, tyid a hailstorm of coriandoii descends on the crowd below, by which it is returned with interest. The sugar aud the fiowera are generally intended for the ladies who grace the festival with their presence, but many a handful of sweetmeats fall into the eager hands of expectent streetboys. Everywhere There is life, iflovement, sunshine antF good humor. Of a rainy carnival it is he’ter not to speak; it is enough to have endured one. * These processions take place on three or four different day* appointed by tlie committee, the last and chief being always fixed for Shrove Tuvs- day, the concluding day of Hie feast. They are too boisterous for ladies of gentle birtli and breeding to take part in them, except from the compara tively safe seclusion of a window. .The corsl di flori which take place on other days are aristocratic iu their character. The ladies wear masks, unnecessarily it would seem, as ihcy usually occupy their own private car riage-, ami they pelt and arc pelted by their pas-ing male acquaintance* with nosegays. A lady of exceptional beauty or popularity will often return from a drive of this kind covered by such a heap of ttowefs that little more than tier head rises above them. A. pa it of the sum collected for the carnival is unusually set apart for iho amusement of the poor, and it is spent really in amusinv them, not in impiov- ing either their minds or their estate*. It has no relig ous or moral hearing; it* object i* not charily, but fnu. The most popular of the game* that carni val thus bring- to those who have n >thing to -p nd on cars, fancy dre-ses, ma-k*, or coriandoii, is in Naples known a* the Petche. In each of the -cciious of the town- a place is chos.-ii by the committee. It may he a itov- ered ball or an open . square, which is for the time fenced on from public traffic. In tiie midst of either a circu lar spi^ce is enc[o-ed, iu the copter of which, if the game takes place in tlio open air, a strong (Mile with a revolv ing disk at the top, is erected; if n co\j- < red place is chosen the disk is either lastened to the ceiling or roof of the room. All round it* circumference are placed hooks, with strings attach ed, ai Hie end of which parcels are hound. These are made up a* neurlx as possible in Hie same size and form, but their contents differ widely. Some contain a small sum of inouev, or even a silver watch; others small article* of clothing, other*cheese or smoked «ans- ages u id others again nolhiug of any value, or, whut is worse, a fool’s cap m*de of ti*>uc pajK-r. These are the fi-lies which the players have to catch. SUNDAY SERVICES AT THE CAPITOL How tkc Hab'iath In Oburirreti Among th« Publlr Mei* in HtiNhlngton From the beginning of the govern ment down to the time of the war, *a\* the New York Herald * Washing ton correspondent, there always was a Sunday religious service at the capitol. The House of Representaliv >s was con sidered a national church. The down fall of this custom dates from the introduction of politics into religion. Frior to that tiour the chaplains had been chosen by a joint resolution of tiie Senate and House, and neither took final action until the other had agreed upon its nominee. Then the service in each house was held by the chaplains alternately. But with Hie era of the war rose a theory that Hie chaplain must belong to a certain party. As one parly was decidedly in the majority, that simply meant ihat the chaplain mu>d be a Republican. In time it came about that a caucus wa» held (as i* now done) lo agree upon a represeiuaiivc of tin- Deity. —It is now said (hat the tariff re formers will content themselves with reporting u hill that will reduce Hie f irice of.food and clothing used by the ■boring classes, and leave other ques tions for future consideration. This move is said to be iu the interest of the workingmen who are making so much trouble throughout the country at E resent. During tbe recent hearing efore tbe ways and means committee it was observed that tbe representatives of labor, wbo appeared before tiie committee, talked very plainly to tbe members of the committee aud made a very deep impression upon some ot them- — Matters have assumed a serious aspect in the strike at Fort Worth, Texas.

The next step wa* to choo-e the chap lains from the city pastors. This was the death knell to n national place of worship. Anxiety to draw large audi ences to their city cltnrches prevented the preachers from going to the Hou*c of Representative* to deliver a sermon. How different from the beahtiful cus tom of former times! Meeting the blind chaplain of tho House, the liev. Dr. Milhunt, this afternoon, I asked him about tiie matter. "It is as you sky,” he answered. "I was here forty years ago, during Pres ident Polk’s and a part of President Pierce’s administrations. The Sena tors, Congressmen and Justices of the Supreme Court were largely repre sented at the Sunday morning service in the old Hall of Representatives. John Quincy Adams was regularly in his place. The services were always unusually impressive. It seems to me foat (hi* would he an excellent custom to revive.” —The Chicago Herald 1 1 Washington correspondent savs that the President does not use the \Vhito House contin gent fund for any expenses whatever that may he construed as personal. The ofttco expenses are paid out of it. General Grant paid for nearly every- thing out of his salary, holding the cotiiingcnt fund, except tor clerical work aud a few other expenses, as sacred. Mr. Lincoln selaom drew u|H>n this fpnd except for the most common expenses of the office. It is said that Mr. Haynes lived almost entirely out of the fund, and retired from the office with his 9200,000 sal ary.
