Bayard renewed the aetioa of Con gress la tae last few rears In regard to the navy, aad continued that It was impossible that Senators should lraore the feet that there was, for one reason or another, a great deal of distrust in the head of the Mary jjepartment. in tae opinion ei many men, Me iresiaent selection or. we inoamoent for that position was not a wise one.

lie, Mr. weald be reluctant to sire pain to any man bat these were pub be questions and shoold be discussed In a plain, open and penile manner. It was In no otsfcr spirit that he referred to this sub ject, it wse paruy ror this reuua that Cob frees kad placed the reatrletlons noon the bonding of the ships now in the coarse of construction. Mr. Hale here remarked that be bad given notice 01 an amendment to toe pending Din wfclen woald throw the protection ot the aets ef U2 sad 1683 around the ships now proposed, anu tost tne amendment was it self suggested by the Secretary of the Mary.
Mr. Hale then offered as a substitute for the amendment ox Mr. MeFnersen the fol tewing: That the said easels shall be designed ana constructed in ail rnspects in accord anee with and snbieet to the eondltions and pis rial on a of the naval appropriation acts of sag. 1883, and March 1883, authonx bk ta construction ol roar steel cruisers. Mr.

As to that prophecy he Sir. Ha wleyl had now nothing to take back.
The distinguished wbihjw tue secretary or tne ravy was wtU snowo, aad when his da ilea were closed his record would compare favorably with that of any Secretary who had ever vied tne mew. After further debate a vote was taken on Mr. MePherson's first amendment, redacing the lumber of proposed ships from seven lour. This was defeated yeas 17, nays ss. Tbe question reouTring on Mr.

Tae Chair stated that the substitute was not at this time in order.
A vote wss then taken on the amendment Mr. Hale to the amendment of Mr. Mc Fberson, and Mr. Hale's amend meat was tto. rhe question recurring on Mr.

providing that the construction of the veeaeis snouid be apportioned between the different navy yards ot the eoun en din debate on the the eeaato went into executive session, and soon adjourned. Mr. Deuster, rising to a question or privilege, sent to the Clerk's desk and had read the resolution adopted by the Committee of the Liberal Union of the German Parliament expressing Its appreciation of the act of the House of Bepreseata tlves adopting the resolutions in nonor of Alward Lasher. The fcpeakc stated that the resolution was not one of privilege, but by unanimous eon sent Mr. Lvuater wss permitted to oontlnue.
Heeald that the Executive Committee or the Liberal Unloa expressed tae sentiments of the people of Germany as here presented. It was pecaliar as seen through American eyes. Prince Bismarck, the autocrat of the German Empire, was the embodiment of en idea antagonistic to American Institutions. He aad returned the Lasker resolution that It might stand to prejudice the German people, but ike resolution of the Liberal Union contradicted that assumption from a ds Atlantic stand point. Death broke down all political feeling, and In the presence of the open grave the nntversal brotherhood of man was the Inspiration of the hour.
The same was true of the Germans as a people, aad if they were misrepresented by a man In a place of power, they bad no other method of setting themselves right before the world than by the resolutions of the Liberal Uaton. la presenting this resolution In his official place, ss a member of this body, as a naU ve of Germany and an adopted citizen of the United States, he desired to express his earnest conviction that the action of the I iberal Union was the true Index of the feeling of united Germany, and that the action of Prince Biemarck would not rise above the dlcalty ot a matter of personal vexation, in no way effecting the kindly relations now existing between the two nations. It mlght4e premature now to criticise the action of Prince Bismarck, but whea the rnclal information thereof was In posses aion of the House, he would endeavor to show that the Lasker resolutions were entirely hind and proper. Mr. Uuenther dnted that the people of Germany were hostile to this oonntry or its institutions, or that the letter of Prince Birnierck returnins; the Lasker resolutions reflected the sentiment of that people.
They did not approve his discourtesy, neitser did they indorse his autooratio action in prohibiting the importation of American products. Mr. Kasson regretted that the Incident referred to be made in any dirree subject to debate. In bu opinion the House would better eoesnlc Its dltraity by watuoe until some, efacial communication reached i it that proper comment had been made upon its action. When it whs Informed that the Interests or the honor of the country had been fleered there would be.
no doubt, perfect accord between the two sides of the Uonae touching the action to be taken. He moved to rerVr the resolution presented by Mr. Deuater to the Committee on For cirn Affairs, and it was so ordered.

It hss been sent to Woolwicu to ite examined. The detectives have kept a close upon tbe resorts ot Irish Nationalists In London, but have made no discoveries It Is believed that the dynamite conspiracy in msnagea wnoiiy auroaa. and toe conspirators hold no connection witn the Fenian or Natloral circles here. In tbe House or Commons the Home Secretary atsten tliat a tbird infernal metilnr bad been discovered at tbe Paddiugton Railway 8tatlon.
The machine wss of American manufac ture, and contained dynamite. it seems tnat tne cloakroom ciers: at tbe ChartnK Cross station heard a uuiee like tue ticking of a clock inside tbe heavy valise, and he forthwith handed it over to the police. The report that the police found a large quantity of explosives under tae Charlus: Cross Railway Station has not been confirmed, in otfidal of tbe station apprehended that the outrage would be attempted early this morning. The valise contained a tin box, with a quantity of dynamite fastened aroaad it. Within the tin box was a clock movement connected with a loaded revolver and timed to run four hours before discharging tbe revolver.
When the hammer of tba re volver had fallen the cartridge failed to explode and the disaster was thus averted The valise was deposited in the cloakroom on Monday. It contained twenty unds of dynamite. It is believed that the conspirators intended that this machine should explode simultaneously with that at tbe Victoria Railway station. The dock movement was ot American make. The efiicials absolutely deny that any dynamite wss found under the station.
Tue dynamite and the clock were packed in clothes. The vslise was exactly like the valise found at the Victoria Station, whloh is supposed to have caused tbe explosion there on Tuesday morning. There Is no due to tbe person who left the valise In the baring Cross Station. If It hsd exploded it would have doue much greater damage than that at the Victoria Station, as the cloakroom is built nnder the horel. The mschine was inside a valise, attached to a cash box.
It consisted or twenty pounds or dynamite, in wbich were Imbedded sn American alarm clock and a pistol. The hammer of the pistol was elevated. The Tinea's Tribute te minister Host. Loxikin, Feb. 28.

Death Bed Eccentricities of Editor Sinsella. Thomas Klnseila, who edited the Broak lyn and who last week died and was buried, lived a singular lire, some of tue strangest eccentricities of which have not come to light in the papers aereaway. ma plucky fiKbt for recognition; his climb lroui a common "case'' ot the ty pe setter in the office through all the lutoriuadlate positions to that of editor in chief aud man ager au toils nas Deen aweit oti oat his matrimonial and theological versatility tbe local papers have dropped a veil over. Klc sella was an Irishman and a Catholic, as was his first wife, who bore bun live daiigbteis. Ail went well till he fell in with the wife ef a politician aad offloe holder of local celebrity, known as Tom Fields Of her he became deeply enamored, aad alter a short courtship, as it were, divorces were at his Instigation, all I around, and Mr.
Kiuseda an re. Fields ere oly married by Henry Ward Beecber. Fields brought suit against Klnseila for alienating tbe aifeettona of his wife and won the suit, the jury awarding him 930,000. He declared tuat he didn't want the money for himself, but wanted tu deposit it in the name of his eiring spoue. lor her to use whenever her new admirer should desert her.
This he did. and tne kso. WjO has been on intereet ever siaue uil last week. Mr. Kinsella's daughters abandoned him aud fobowed tbe misfortunes of their castor mother, while he and Fieids Klnseila," as she has always been called lu Brooklyn, took a high priced pew in Mr.
Beecher's church, of which tioy became members. This all hsppened some year ao, and Mr. Klnseila was an ardent asp porter of the great Plymouth psstor donug his trials. VTben Mr. Klnseila was brought face to face with death In his last illness, he sent lor Mr.
Beecber, who came and prayed with him and talaed with hiin but it did not eeem to "so to the spot," he said. Tin old menaces of the life to come whloa had been instilled Into him by tbe Catnolic church when a child rose imperatively before him. He was afraid to die, and he adjiUtd iu Ilia latest wife guarded his hauuted bedside, but he Induced some friend to carry a note to a Cath lio priest with whom tto was well acquainted. The priest came, but could not get in. Mrs.
Fields" Kinselia assured him that if she wanted him she would send for him, but that at present his services were superfluous. He retreated reluctantly, was again summoned, and bo rt 1) made, his way to the slok man's bedside. Kiasella warned confession, communion, baptism aud tae rtts of the Catholic church. The caller told him he could not be buried a a Cat holio, except by speedy repentance of his sins, especially the sin of putting away his wile aud mi rylng another. He was iu mortal agony aud mortal fear.
He said he would do aa be was told. Under the urgency ot his spiritual adviser be ceded Mrs. Fields Kiuuella luto tbe room aud formally discarded her, aud ordered hr ta pack up atid leave, aud then Lis inrninr wife was recalit to. hi bedride. The will wss changed.

A correspondent of the Cinolnnatt Commercial Gazette ssys: Do the streams no rise hisber and quicker, and go down soossr from tbe same amount of rainfall, and aa der the same conditions of the ground ani weather, than formerly, when the greater part of the country was In forests 1 I think so, from tbe following causes, namely: Tss now vast amount or tile aoder drains, for tne most part laid In the last ten years oss fsrnier in Ptekawsy county, 8. H. Bagglst, has put in fifty miles of it tbe side ditoaea to tiln ost all of the now improved roads srs graded to csrry fl the water quickly; ths many op farm ditches everywhere, sobs them large and miles la length, eat tbrooKh several adjoining farms; the levees along meet of the prinoipal streams partially confine the flood to the channel. TkfrM' combined drains certainly csrry off st much of the rainfall into the mala streami of the vslleys In two sys as found Its way tbronch the many obstructions, 40 or yesrs afro, in four days. At the latter tams, all the lw ground, a wampa and holes having io natural outlet, had to fill to ever flowing before the surplus waters could get into the stresms.
and then the forest grovnd remained saturated for days, until dried by evaporation, or sunk slowly tsts the eatth. On my own little farm, before it was Improved, there wss no outlet tss watershed of about three fourths of a sills square an til the very low bottom sb swamp and pond were filled to flow ever higher ground between it and Darby Creek, bounding the farm. Another canse ef the streams not rialnf so high before the forests were cut dswa, wss the absorption of no little of the rala fall by tbe leaves, branches, roots.
