THE orSTKR BILL. A motion was made to reconsider the morning vote passing the oyster bill, for the pnrpofe of differing an amendment, the character of which was uot stated. AD quorum voted, aud the bouse Was adjourned UU 10 o'cloca Thursday morning. ONE POET'S TIUIICJTE TO ANOTHER. The London newspapers now at band contain full reports of James Kussell Lowell's address at the unveiling of the bust of Longfellow iu Westminster abbey.

After thanking Iord Granville in the name of bis dead frteiidV daughters for Lis presence, and recalling tiie fact that in a previous address in the abbey be bad expressed the hope that it might borne day or otbiT become "the Valhalla of the whole English speaking race," the American minister said 1 IHtle expected then that a beginning would be made so soon a beginning at once painful and gratifying in the highest degree to myself with the nust or my iritum. cnoun tnere ue no academy in England answering to that of Krance, yet admission to Westminster abbey forms a sort of posthumous test of literary eminence pernaim as elleoiuil. Everyone of us has his owu private Vahalla, and It Is not apt to be populous, lint the conditions of admlfsiod to tho abbev are vey different. We ought never to be able to ak th question why is so. and here.

We oughtalways 10 be able to answer the question why such an oie is not here. I think that on this occaston 1 but express he united feeling of trie whole Knglish-stttmklng rco In confirmation of the choice that has been made, tbe choloe of oue whose name Is dear to them oil, ar.d who has inspired their ilv-s and consoled their hearts, win has bt-en admbtd to the nre-ides of all of them as a familiar Mend, Nearly 4o years agu I bad occasion. In speaking oT Mr. Longfellow, to stig tsL au analogy between him and the English poet Gray, and 1 have since seen auy ieison to modify or change that opinion. There are certain very marked analogies between them, I think.

In the first place there is the same love of a certain subdued splendor not Inconsistent with transparency of dic'lon; ihore is the same power cf ab-sorht'-g and asidrnilatlng the beiu les of other literatures without loss of originality, and, above all. there Is that g' nlus for sympathy wit. uuer sal sentiments and Cie power of expressing them so that they come home to everybody, both high and low. which characterize h. Th re Is something also In the r-imptictty of st yle, simplicity in llseif being a dlstlnct'on.

11 it Iu style sitri-plicity and distinction must be eomhiped order to th lr proper effect, and the only warrant pr-hapsof perm tnonce In literature is this distinction In stvle. It Is something quite Indefinable; It is like the distinction of od breeding characterized r-Uher by the abrence of rtuiln qualities than by the presence of (toitive one-; aud it seems to nie that the ut! fiction of ftyle is found eminently in the Illustrious poet whom we are mt together iu some sense to celebrate today. This is not, the of cou'-so, forcritlcUm; still less is it the place for eipoRy. for i'ogy Is but too often disguised an dog y. Hat i hive been struck particularly, if 1 may bring forward one Instance, with me of my lat friend sonnets, which seem to me to be among rhe most beautiful and perfect In ihe lan guage.

They remind me of some of those cabinets In which mauy drawers are unlocked by a single kev. I have sen sonnet lu which there was a separate lock for everv line, and, in fumbling among our keys, we sometime fiud ourselves lu a certain confusion. Added to this, there wontd be sometimes a conundrum of secret dr twers. Rut there was nothing of this lu him. His mind always moved straight towards Its object, and was always permeated with au emotion that gave it franknesH ana sincerity, aua, at the same time, most simple expression It seems that I should add a few wordsin fact, i cannot refrain from adding few words with regard to the personal character of a man whom 1 knew for more than 40 years, whose friend 1 was honored to call myself for more than JK) years.

Never was there a privte more answerable to public performance than in Longfellow. Never nave I known a more beautiful character'. I was fa-millnr with the dally the ooustant charity both of bis har and of tils mind. His nature waft const-crated ground, into which no unclean spirit could ever enter. A Hlshop'e III under.

(Pall Mall Gazette.) The absurdity of the existing English marriage law is well illustrated by a piece of persecution about which a question was asked in the house of commons a few days ago. A parishioner at Epping and hi? wife were ref'ised the holy communion by the vicar on the ground that the woman was tbe man's deceased wife's sister. The husband was 83 years oid. and the wife 77, and they had been married flity years, but lr. laugh ton, tbe bishop of the iocese, apparently held that they both came within the defini-nition of "notorious evil livera." aud sustained the vicar in his action.

The attorney however, has now pointed out thaL the marriage, having been contracted before Lord Lyndhurst's act, is strictly valid, and the vicar has been advised by the bub op that the two parishioners "cannot legally be repelled from tne holy communion." 'Had this view of the law been present to my Dr. Clnugh-too, should have been spared the pain no lees to myself than yourbelves, of ordering tbe said repulse." Mr. Bncknera notion that the outlook for the democratic party is a chilly and discouraging one has revived the indorsement of a congressman of the name political faith from Mit-lssippt, who is persuaded that the discord over the tariff is sure to bring defeat, la his own trranhic and sententious language: "There is always some d-i thing in the wav, and this time its the tar ill." oc. aauw TUE CONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE.

Levi Labar of Purdytown, Pa had a battlo with an enormous wild-cat iu bis bed room the other night. A window pane hail lieen broken and the aperture was closed with a cloth nailed to tbe sattb. About midnight, after Labar had retired for the night, lie heard a htrune uoiso in tbe room. He jumped from the led, and just then a yell from the wild-cut made the air Jingje. He seized a stick with which to defend himself.

The animal sprang on bis shoulders, hut La bur shook it off aud struck it with Ms club. For fifteen minutes tho li'ht was furious. The brute leaped from wall to wall, clinging to the paper with iti sharp claws, arid then bounding upon ite adversary, eyes shining like coals of lire. At last Labar dealt the cat a death blow, just as it about to leip on his head from the too of the door. It measured six feet from the tip of its se to tbe end of its taiL Iabar was severely lacerated aoout the face aud arms.

A Cat Molltary rule. (New Yoik Sun.) While some children were playing on the boach at Eltingville, Stolen Island, on February 20, they took a cat for sport, jssed it into skiff, and pushed tbe skiff from the shore. A strong wind and tide carried the boat out of sight toward Sandy Hook. Ten days later a cod smack anchored off Eltingville with the missing beat and cat aboard. Tbe captain of the smack had noticed a drifting skilf when about seventy miles southeast of Sandy Hoek, and on drawing close to tbe small boat tbe crew of tbe smack were surprised to see a cat perched on its bow.

When near enough the cat sprang on to the deck of tbe smack without awiUtauce. and seemed pleased at its rescue. It had been nii days drifting about on the opei sea. It had eaten some flounders that had been left In the boat, an i during three Btorma, which must have buffeted tbe frail craft about, s- nie rain had fallen into a bailing pan that was left in the bo-it. Although the cat was weakened and thin from ite long exposure, it had evidently not buffered very severely from hunger or thirst, The Horajfora Almanac ibj Cock If 00k Mailed free on applications 10 the RumXord Cheap iosi Works, ProYidenoo with each loaa.
