lie was gomstliPH! There was no hope, llis lilts eap, and shoes, and jacket, found -it the hank where he had laid tlier.'; when lie went in to bathe — silly cfild! — had not been enough to eo'vineo the mother that her missing b(/-was lost to her. Yet it was close d where the river fell into the sea, ;2d where the tide was strong. How, ilien, could site hope? But this latti' news, the finding of this half-decnf?d body of a little boy, which the finer had been obliged to bury at oneefthis was too plain to be denied. S>he dust give him. up.

Mrs. Beaufft closed her doors and sat down in ter splendid mansion to mourn. Heiservants came and went about lier. J it site would see no one. else. Her ofn kindred were too far­away, acrosatlie ocean in the New World, to cine to her; and she had known thes4 of her husband's people only during tile year be had been master of Baufort Manor.

lie had been separated from his friends, e ’houseless wanderer, and they luul caved nothing for him, till old* Mr. Ieaufoit, the bachelor lord of the manjt. dying, had. to their aston­ishment^ and indignation, left the sweat fitune, -which they had confi­dently jfccpeetca would be divided be­tween two families nearest of kin, to seapeghce, wandering Bernard Beau­fort. g-t for kas this, then, they had flatter^ and lotted the eccentric, cross old Dan! It ,was for this, they had lied .0 him ojer and over, and vowed that they hat expected nothing from him and wauled nothing, and came to see only him,* not the manor. They hadborne lib sardonic grins, when he lisltned to tioir falsehood, only that Bernard Baufort, whom they had never aeknoVledged at all, and their hot, should inherit Beaufort Manor, and all the of man's property, except- the £100 apiefe which he had mock­ingly bequealted his two cousins and their twelve dildren, -nil told.

It was unberttble! And all because Bta'iiard had-rad the art to name his buy Philip, fter the old man. Had each of his Cusins a Philip—her eld­est? But heaid that Philip had giv­en him no ttice of the miming, as they had: lid asked no christening present; and >at he. the old man, hacl heard the elid's name only by acci­dent. There&e it must have been named from sne recollection.

When the ew heir and his wife came home, !ae relations pocketed their wrath star as to visit them. It was not won while to shut them­selves out of f> place because it was not to be. theii

Mrs. Beanfit astonished her new relatives. Tla expected to find a common perst. They found a lady more highly t>d and educated than themselves. I elegant form, habited with exiiuisitiaste: a classical face, purely pale; Hi, dark hair: bright, dark eyes, and|mirably self-possessed -such was tl new lady whom they

went- to criticisand patronize.Scarcely l-.aathe bereaved mother

mourned for hi son a month, when a lawyer's missy reached her, and she awoke to the fit that it was not only her son who w! lost, but tlie heir of Beaufort Manf. The relatives and heirs had allded her to stay so long out of regardp her feelings, and be-

I cause they wfild rather she had pro- ' posel to go, aid they were sorry she hadoliged thei to remindher that,by the ite Philipieaufort's will the prop- ertyjwas to geto the son o f Bernard, andjh case lielied childless, to be di- vide betweeS two cousins, the elder hav|g the limor for life, the eldest sonpf the yoinger to inherit it at his deiJ.

Te childles widow rose up and wei out o f jthe sorrowful home that hatbeen heB hut a year and a half. Naympathyor kindness were offered hejjtow. Titty paid her the moderate prtision that had been assured her,

said “good bye" with no invita- ti| to remain or to visit them. She wjno longer necessary to them, and til could resent her past coldness.

ten wh’en her husbantj. died, six njihs after her coming to the prop­el, she did not much seek their com- pionsbip, though they then redoiib- 1| their attention, as their hopes in- q\sed.

ernard had been an affectionate, 1 a dissipated husband, and i f his t e grieved for him it was not as one l bout hope. Little Philip, her idol, r v two years old, was left her. She t ned to him with all her heart.And now he was gone! Three years

q , and so venturesome! H ow had he dided servants and mother, and play Ates? He had done so, in spite of fery care.’ The river running past teir park had enticed him, and he vis gone. Every effort had been made, :arch, advertisements, rewards offer- i , but in vain: and the finding of that- tie body with the golden hair in

kills about the face had satisfied her. A curl had been given the mother; Itnd putting i t . side by side with one ;:ut from Philip’s head only a month iefore, they could not be told apart.

Mrs. Beaufort did not return to America, as they had expected. She look a cottage near and lived in. i t 3he could not leave the neighborhood where her darling’s body lay, and where his imiocent^soul had taken wing. Shut up hvxliis secluded house which to her was not a home, she abandoned herself to grief. But after

was obliged to,

And ‘ so four years passed. The Bean forts of the manor had taken no notice o f het-; but some of the country families still visited her, and she had many friends. Her means were small,

' but till the poor blessed her, for her kind word and helping hand were tet­ter than gold.

No one saw the lonely night when she wept and kissed those locks of golden hair, and gazed at the minia­ture of her boy's face.

One day the widow had been out on an errand o f mercy, and was strolling slowly homeward in the soft, rich light of a' June sunset. The blossoming hedges were full o f singing birds, the trees bent over, and the air was silent and laden with sweet odors.

As she walked slotvly along the road a strange, gladness stirred in her heart, for something pleasant had happened that morning. She had met the vicar that afternoon in her visiting—not the first time by tlie means; for Mr. Verson was kind to the poor, and was also n kind friend to this bereaved lady. But something new had shown itself in his manner, or, if not new, it was, at least, shown in a decided man­ner that seemed new.

The Rev. Mr. Vernon had married early in life, and Itis wife had lived but a few years. Ills friends thought that the least said about the latter the bet­ter.- Tlie gentleman had been drawn into the marriage at an early age when lie should have been at bis studies, and it was a happy thing for him that the companionship had been brief. lie had not cared to repeat the experiment, 'With a large circle of admiring friends, and quiet, well-kept house, he said to himself that he would be foolish to change. And lie had not wished to change till now. Ills sympathy had been aroused by the sorrows of the lovely Mrs. Beaufort, and his tenderness by the beauty of her character. But not till within a few weeks bad lie known how deep that tenderness and sympathy were, nor how sweet it would be to have that fair face and form to adorn his home, and be ever in his sight.

To-day, for the first time, the truth had broken out. It was but a word. Seeing her look paler than usual, the young clergyman had asked impulsive­ly, “Are you ill, A lice?”" i t 3vas the first time he had called

her by that name, and the color flash­ed over liis face as soon as the word bad passed his lips. But liis bright eyes dwelt on her face as he saw the answering blush, the sweet, sudden smile, the quick look up into his eyes, then tlie drooping glance.

“No, not ill,” she stammered. “I am very well.”

Others came near, and both inter­rupted and relieved them. Enough liad been said for that time. But when they parted Mr. Vernon took her hand in gentle clasp, and asked permission to come to see lier soon, and thanked her earnestly when per­mission was accorded.

That was all, but it was enough to change, all the world for this tender lonely heart.'

“How good he is to think of me, who have nothing, when so many younger and richer ladies would glad­ly have- had liis preference!”

“There is a little boy waiting to see you, ma'am,'’ tlie servant said, when she entered ilie cottage. “He has a letter for you.”

“ Who is he!” Mrs. Beaufort asked. “He is a stranger, ma’am, .and a

pretty bid. .1 think lie is a sailor like, hut a gentleman’s son.”

“You can send him to me,” Mrs. Beaufort asked.

She entered the parlor, and in a few Aomen ts the messenger stood before lier. She merely glanced at him, scarcely moving as lie gave her a note, and stood before lier, cap in hand, be­fore her while she read.

It was written coarsely by an igno­rant person, and tlie name* signed was that of a man-servant who .had lived at the-manor when she had been oust­ed, a retainer of tier husband’s rela­tives. It was dated Calcutta, and was marked “ inportant.”

“Madaoi : I think you would do well to adopt tlais boy as your son. Perhaps you would like him almost as well. He is a smart little fellow, and has no bad habits, and he has no father. I’ve known him since lie was two years old. I f you want any more in­formation, ask It o f yours to command,

Joins Slade.”A strange enough note, presuming

and inexplicable. " She dropped it and looked at the messenger, a straight, well-formed hoy, with slender hands and feet. His hair was light, and curled loosely like other hair she had seen. His large, violet eyes were like eyes she had seen before, his mouth, the dimple in his chin, the turn of the head—

She gazed on him a moment, like one in a trance, then started.

•‘Heavens, boy! what is your name?” she cried. IVliat are you ?”

“My name is Phil Philips,” he an­swered, with a smile that went to the heart, with a voice that set her trem­bling. “I don’t know who I am. I was picked up at sea when I was three years old.”

“But this man, this John Shade, says he knew you at that time,” she ex­claimed, starting up! “And he has been away only a year.”

“Yes,” said the hoy, looking with wonder to see the lady so agitated; “lie came 'to see me in America, and took me to Calcutta with him. He has been good to me. He told me that my father was dead, hut my mother was alive and that my name was Philip, hut would not tell me what else. He said that you know who my mother Is. I want to find mother,” the boy added tremulously. “I don’t

*like going about the world so.”-What explanation could, he made

she Knew not. But, with a mother’ s intuition, she knew her long lost child. Slie clasped him in her arms. She kissed and questioned him. She lis­tened to a recital of all his recollec- tions, and with every word her assur­ance. grew stroner. His faint recol­lections of the great house, the pony carnage, o f many a little incident which she herself recalled—all were confirmmation strong as proof o f Holv Writ. '

The next morning, Mr. Vernon called to see Mrs. Beaufort, and before he had been with her fifteen minutes they were engaged.

“Oh, my dearest, m y most true and disinterested friend!” she suddenly broke forth, “I have Such news to tell you. I can keep it no longer. Say once again that you love and chose me, poor and alone.”

She leaned on his arm, and looked with beauiful, tearful eyes into his face. .

“I chose you so, my love,” lie said. =“I want nothing with you.”

She leaned as moment , on his slioul-

the Servant, John Shade, charged the proprietor of the manor with having withheld from Mrs. Beaufort the ad­vertisement which described'tlie child tnat had been picked up at sea.

“We did not believe that it was the child,” they said, “and we.thoughtit would only agitate Alice unnecessa­rily.”

It was a lame excuse, hut t ’ne best they had.

So Mrs. Beau foot went back to the great house, proudly leading her son, and all the people bowed down to her and congratulated her, o f course. And when the clergyman, Mr. Vernon, left the parsonage to marry her, more than one noble gentleman cursed his own stupidity in not having fallen in love with the widow while there tv as a chance.

A Sample Village.I write this from a country village

containing about one thousand inhabi­tants. It is a lovely little town, nes­tled on a side hill to break off the raw winds of winter and the hurricanes of summer. IVlien I arrived this morning it seemed lb me as if there could not be a bad mail or a scolding woman in the village, but four boms have passed and I am a wiser man. I came.here to see old l\Irs. Brown about a pension she wants from the government, and when we had finished our business I said:

“ I see you have, l’om churches here.” “Yes. but we never have any sermons

worth listening to.”“The men look intelligent and smart!” “Humph! They are regular pokes!

There isn’t a man in Farmville who knows enough to ask boot in a horse trade."

“But the women look happy,” I pro­tested.

“ ’Then they look what they ain’t,” she answered. “ I don’t believe there, is a happy woman in the whole village. I f you knew of the awful carryings on here you wouldn’t look for happy wives.”

“ lyiiat awful things do the men do?” “ You’d better ask what they don’t do.

It’s a wonder to me that Earmville hasn’t shared the fate of Sodam and Gommorrow.”

“Do they drink?”“Do they? Didn’t I see even old

Deacon Harris weaving this way and that as he climbed the hill last evening? It’s a slippery path, of course, but sober men don’t climb a hill sideways.”

“Do they gamble?”“ Gamble!” TYliat did Mrs. Potts tell

me that lier brother’s wife told Mrs. Davis not a month ago? Four of the leading men in the place were caught playing checkers for the soda water. That’s a nice example, isn’t it!”

“Is Mrs. Potts nice ?”“Nice! V hy, she’s the worst gossip

in town! It’s a wonder the men don’t duck lier in the mill-pond.”

■“And Mrs. Davis ?”“She’s a hypocrite! She’ll talk sweet

to your face, and abuse you behind yom back.”

“Mrs. George is well spoken of.”“By whom ? I ’ve known her fifteen

years, and I never heard a human be­ing speak well of lier. She eats opium and lies like a. trollop!”

“Isn’t Mrs. McHenry all right?”“ All right! IVliy, no one can live in

the house next to her.”“ The postmaster seems like a good

man,” I venture to remark.“ Good man! A liy, my husband al­

ways believed be was tlie very man who threw a yaller dog down our well. I don’t say that he steals letters, but-1 know that when I sent two three-eent -stamps in a letter to my daughter in B- linoy, she never got them.”

“Blit there must be one good man here?”

“There must, eli! V eil. I wish you'd pint him out to me. I’d like to polish up my spectacles and take a good look at him.”

“And isn’t there a faultless woman ?” “ V eil, I don’t want to seem vain and

A Business Proposition.In Galveston, there is no coin of a

lower denomination than a nickel in circulation. This is, o f course, a great inconvenience Eor instance, yester­day two men quarreled on the avenue. The bigger man o f the two said to the smaller m an:

“For three cents I ’ll give you the confoundest licking you ever got in your life.”

The little man looked wicked. He had his coat off in less than a moment. Then he took out a nickel and tender­ed it to the other-party, who said:

“ I said I ’d lick you for three cents, and I ’R do it. That’s five cents. Gim­me three cents, and I ’ll fix you so the coroner will have to hire a hack to get enough o f you together to hold an in­quest.”

“You can keep the change,” said the little fellow, edging up.

“I ’m like the country. I don’t want any change. I stick to my proposition. Gimme three cents and I ’ll destroy you.”

“Here is fifteen cents. Suppose you lick me five times, and then it will come out even.”

“After I ’ve licked you once there won’t be enough for a dog to leik. I’ni not agoing to rob your widow and or­phans o f twelve cents. Gimme three cents and the trouble can begin right now. IPs not my fault that there are no copper cents in circulation,—Gal­veston News.

detailed by a cleryman on a Baltimore steamboat, is thus reported In Forest and Stream:

A n old couple had supplied them­selves Avith a bottle of pennyroyal oil with which to keep off the mosquitoes. They extinguished their light and re­tired, forgetting the antidote.

The mosquitoes were very bad, and, after standing it as long as they could, the old lady got up and gotaAvell-filled ink-bottle instead o f the oil, and gave the old gentleman a thorough lubricat­ing Avitli the fluid,face, hands and feet; she then anointed herself in a like manner.

They again assayed to court the droAvsy god, hut could only get an oc­casional nap. Finally the old lady got up and struck a light. Giving a glance at the bed she had justleft, she beheld, to ber horror, a colored person, as sbe supposed, stretched in tlie place of ber spouse.

She quitely got the poker, and beat the old fellow over bead before discov­ering lier mistake. Later on in the niglit, we found the old couple on board the boat with ns, he with Ms head nearly as big as a hale o f hay, and she caring for him with the great­est solicitude.

tutions may rise from obscurity and humble life to the most exalted station.

J. C, Burrows was born in the town o f Xorth East, Erie comity, Pa., on the 9th day o f January, 1S37. In early life he moved with his parents onto a farm near Kingsville, Ashtabula county, Ohio, where he spent his boyhood years, working on tto farm summers, and attending tte district school during the w in te r A t the age of fifteen he entered Kingsville. Academy, where he successfully pursued his studies for tw<? years, when he was enabled to at- tjnda course o f one year at Grand River institute, supporting himself by teachiug school at intervals, and by doing such odd jobs as he could get during vacations. In 1S35, when but eighteen years o f age, he was employ­ed to take charge o f Madison Semina­ry in Lake county, Ohio. It was dur­ing his residence in Madison that the memorable Presidential campaign of 1856 occurred in which he took an act­ive part, making his first political speech in favor' o f the election o f John C. Frem ont Although he was too young to vote himself, his thrilling eloquence and convincing arguments secured many votes for the Republi­can nominee. In 1857, while employ­ed as principal o f the Union school in Jefferson. Ohio, he commenced the study of law in the office of Simomls & Cadwell, and iu 1859 was admitted to the bar. From Jefferson he removed in i860 to Kalamazoo, Mich., to take charge of Richland Seminary.

In the canvass o f 1860, when the spirit o f disunion spread its dark wings over the whole country, threatening the very life o f the nation. Mr. Bur­rows. then only twenty-three years of age, proved himself one o f the most efficient and earnest advocates of those great principles which moved the loyal Xorth to meet at the threshold the first act o f treason, by selecting Abraham Lincoln President o f the United States, and cast his first vote for that great and good man. It was In this canvass that Mr. Burrows’ great powers as an orator were first felt and acknowledged by the country. In the fall o f 1861 lie commenced the practice of law in Kal­amazoo. The following spring lie help­ed recruit the I7rli Michigan Infantry and entered the service as captain of compauy 11 of that regiment. He served with great gallantry until De­cember 1863, when he was compelled to resign on account of failing health. He participated in the battles of South Mountain. Antietaiu. Fredericksburg, Jackson, Miss., and Knoxville. Term. Returning to liis home, he resumed'his law practice and rapidly rose to dis­tinction.. By invitation of the Repub­lican State Committee he took an act­ive part in the canvass of 1864. He was elected Prosecuting Attorney o f his county in 1866. and was re-elected to that responsible office in 1868, mak­ing the tour o f Europe in the mean­time. In 1872 his services were in de­mand throughout the northern States as an advocate for the election o f Gen­eral Grant, and his speeches were lis­tened to with as great interest as those o f any other orator in the country. Mr. Burrows was elected to the 43d Con­gress as a Republican, hut was defeat­ed, after being nominated by his party in 1874. by a coalition of the Greeley element and the Democracy. During all these years he maintained a high position at the bar o f his State, was called to California in 1875. by the Re­publican State Committee, participat­ing in the canvass of that year. Devot­ed' all o f his energies and great talents to the election o f Hayes and Wheeler in 1876. Ms voice being heard in that campaign from the Atlautic to the Pa­cific. He was elected to the 46th and re-elected to the 47th Congress without opposition. In a speech in the House, on the “ Civil Rights Bill,” during the 4Sd Congress. Mr. Burrows said: “Shall it be said that this grand party, which with determined courage beat back the propagandists of the slave power in their encroachments upon our territory, unfurled the banner of liberty and equality, and achieved the victory o f 1860; hewed with gleaming swords, the fetters from four millions of bondsmen: wiped from the Consti­tution the last recognition of the rights of man to hold property In man: and placed all upon an equality before the law,—shall it now he said that this party falters and fails before a propo­sition to protect the black man in the simplest yet most sacred rights of American citizenship*; I cannot. I will not believe It. For myself, I nev­er will he guilty of such shameless treachery, nor lower the standard of their defense one inch from its lofty- bearing. By their unswerving loyalty- in the 'midst o f treason: by their pa­tient endurance in camp and on the march: by their fidelity which knew no treachery: by their heroism in bat­tle, which made them insensible to danger: by their devotion to the Re­public in the hour of Its .supremest peril, and in the name of the Constitu­tion o f my country, upon which they Stand secure, I demand for them equal Civil Rights and equal protection wherever the shadow o f our banner falls.’ ’

Again in the same Congress in a speech on the “ Force Bill,” " he made use o f the following eloquent and em­phatic language: “B ut it Is demanded of us that all carpet-baggers shall abandon the Southern States. Who are these carpet-baggers? They are the men who fought the country's battles and saved the nation’s life, and when the war was over made their homes in the Southern States. I f there are those from the Xorth, who have settled among you solely for the purpose of eating out your 'substance and plun­dering the people, they deserve the ex­ecration of all good men and shall re­ceive no defense from me. But these carpet-baggers who when the war was over settled in the South In good faith as their future home, must be protect­ed In life and property- They are the men who took up your dishonored flag on yonder heights and carried it to vic­tory: they are your brothers and sons who bore it in triumph from Cairo to the Gulf, and brought it hack floating over a nation protected, and a Repub­lic saved; they are the men who waded through that hell o f fire at the Wilder­ness, and planted the flag in triumph over the field o f Appomattox, a n d ! say for one, sir, that, come what may, though it take the strong arm of the Federal Government, they shall he protected in all the rights of American citizenship wherever that flag o f my countrv floats.”

HORTICULTURAL.The Berrien County Horticultural

Society met at Preston’s Hall, St. Jo­seph, on Feh. 3d, 1881. President R. C. Tate in the chair.

Minutes read and approved.The committee on swamp land fund

reported a letter from Lansing stating that there was no such fund to the credit o f this county.

Mr. Xowlen introduced the follow­ing resolution, which was adopted;

Resolved, That Representative L . M. Ward and his associates from Berrien County be requested to investigate matters relating to the swamp land funds and to secure, i f possible, such legislation as shall render available, fo r Berrien County, the monies said cojmty is or may hereafter be entitled tofknown as the swamp land fund.

o f having a law in Chicago making it illegal to sell packages without such mark and thought the press o f the city and common council would endorse the law.

Mr. Thomas Mason, o f Chicago, said that every package should be stamped in figures or letters at least one inch across. He said it was a mistake to suppose that small and large packages sold equally well when placed side by side. The hucksters of Chicago under­stood their business perfectly and were quick to detect the difference in size. You could not, fool them. It often happened that the large packages were sold first and the market advanced so that the small packages brought as much or more than the large ones, but i f the market fell or was glutted the small packages had to suffer.

President Tate suggested regulating size and making all packages conform to a scale of sizes.

Mr. Guernsey nged that the price current be instructed to give only sales of standard packages.

Mr. Reeves presented the following resolution*

Resolved. That this society concur in the plan of legislative action requiring all fruit packages used in the State to have the capacitv plainly stampted on the outside.

After a prolonged debate the follow­ing, presented by Mr. Antisdale, was adopted as a substitute:

Resolved, That this society concur in the plan o f legislative action requiring all fruit packages manufactured or used in this State to have stamped thereon by the manufacturer the capac­ity in plain letters or figures.

Mr. Xowlen moved that Mr. S. H. Comings he chairman of a committee to confer with the common council o f Chicago to induce them to pass such an ordinance. The motion prevailed.

Mr. A. R. Xowlen and Mr. S. G. Antisdale were appointed to act on that committee. The committee was also instructed to act in harmony with the committee of the State society ap­pointed for a similar purpose.

Mr. Winchester was requested to talk on raspberries and D. X . Brown on blackberries at the next meeting.

A communication from the President on the Ponca question was read, concluding with lengthy recom­mendations of his own upon the sub­ject. The post route bill was passed. Mr. Knot (Dem., Ky.) from the com­mittee on judiciary, submitted are- port in favor of the right of the Sen­ate to originate appropriation bills; ordered printed. Mr. Townsend (Rep., O.l introduced a hill for the regulation of duties on manufactured iron, etc., the substance of which is given m our Washington dispatches. Referred to the committee on ways and means. The District of Columbia appropria­tion bill was amended and passed, yeas 149, nays 24. The legislative, ju­dicial and executive appropriation bill was reported, ordered printed and re­committed. It recommends an appro­priation of $17,IS 1,000. A struggle en­sued for priority of consideration be­tween the interstate commerce and ap­portionment bills. The House refused to take up the interstate commerce bill, and proceeded to consider the ap­portionment bill. Mr. Cox made a speech upon it, after which the House adjourned.

THURSDAY.In the Semite, Mr. Morgan (Dem.,

Ala.) called up his resolution concern­ing the declaration of the electoral vote for President and Vice President. 3D'. Edmunds, after a brief debate, moved to lay the reolution oil the table. Lost, ayes 22, nays 37, a party vote. The morning hour expiring, the regu­lar order was postponed, and the reso­lution taken up. After a protracted discussion, and the voting down o f an amendment proposed by Mr. Edmunds declaring that neither the Senate, the Senate and House, or the President of the Senate, had a right to make the count, and defeating some other amendments, the roll .was called to as­certain the presence of a quorum, whem 40 Senators responded. The Republican Senators giving indications o f a disposition to indulge in dilatory proceedings, the Senate adjourned.

In the House some o f the Senate amendments to the Indian appropria­tion bill were concurred in and some were non-concurred in. The congres­sional apportionment hill was taken up and .discussed at some length. Mr. Horr (Rep., MichJ took a prominent part in the debate, showing strikingly by figures the advantage the south has over the north in the proportion of representation to popular votes cast. He had tilts with Hammond of Geor­gia, McMillin o f Tennessee and Mc- Lane of Maryland, in all o f which he held his own.' The hill finally went over without action, and the House adjourned..

FRIDAY. ' ’In the Senate, the district appropria­

tion .bill was received from the House and referred. The funding hill was reported withy amendments, ordered printed; and placed on the calenda.iv- Mr. Pendletcii (Dem., O.) reported with amendm'entvhis favorite bill to allow the principal officers o f Jffie executive departments to -hacvgff the

:ess.

toral vote, was then taken up. Sena­tors Edmunds and Thurman, who fire like Daman and Pythias in private, but always nagging each other in de­bate, got up a lively discussion on a point o f order. A fter a prolonged de­bate the resolution was carried, with an amendment by Mr. Hoar (Rep., Mass.) declaring it the duty of Con­gress to institute measures for the due and orderly counting o f the elec­toral vote in the future. Seven Repub­lican aud 35 Democratic Senators voted in its favor, and one Democrat against it, the other Republicans abstaining from voting. The Senate then took up the pensions appropriation bill, and Mr. Logan (Rep., HI.) complained o f newspaper criticism upon his course. The Senate adjourned without action on the pending amendment—the “sixty surgeon” clause.

The House passed the bill for the sale of certain Xew York Indian lands in Kansas, with an amendment fixing the price at $3 an acre. It then went into committee of the whole on the private calendar. In discussion oil a pension bill Mr. Atkins (Dem., Tenn.) declared that the pensions would cost the government a total of more than a billion dollars. Mr. Goode, on request of Mrs. Page, widow of the man who resigned from our nav>T rather than support in war the government which had supported him in peace, withdrew the bill to pay her $136 on her hus­band’s account, and made a parade o f sentiment about it. Mr. Conger (Rep., Mich.) doubted whether Mr. Goode spoke for all his Southern brethren in his professed opposition to war claims, and moved to recommit the bill to the, naval committee to investigate the case. On motion of Mr. Goode the bill was tabled and House adjourned.

SATURDAY.In the Senate a joint resolution was

passed inviting the government and people o f France, and the family of Lafayette, to join in the Yorktown centennial. The Senate took up the pension appropriation bill, with the “sixty surgeon” amendment and Mr. Logan (Rep., 111.) opposed the latter. A bill was introduced defining the duties of assistant inspector of steam vessels. A number of miscellaneous Senate and House bills were passed, and the Senate adjourned.

In the House Mr. Bicknell (Dem., Did.) called upon the Senate electoral count resolution passed February 2, in regard to the counting of the vote of Georgia. A debate followed in which a very large variety o f views were ex­pressed, the difference between Demo­crats and Republicans being as great as that between the two parties. The resolution was finally adopted. I t practically provides for the announce­ment of the result in case o f either de­cision, i. e., whether the vote of Georgia was counted or not, but that in either case Garfield and Arthur are elected President and Yice President. The congressional apportionment bill was then taken up, and debated at length, after which the House adjourn­ed without action.

MONDAY.In the Senate Senators Hamlin and

Thurman were appointed tellers for the Presidential election count to-mor­row. Mr. Thurman (Dem.j 0.) in the course o f a discussion on a night ses­sion, avowed himself in favor of license against prohibition. Senators Conk- ling (Rep., X . Y .) and Butler (Dem., S. G.) had what Mrs. Malaprop would call a '‘nice derangement of epitaphs” over the South Carolina census. The pension appropriation bill was then taken up, and the “sixty surgeon amendment” was ruled out of order. ‘Without further action on the bill the Senate adjourned.

In the House Messrs. Ilorr and Crow­ley were appointed tellers for the Pres­idential election count. Several mo­tions to suspend the rules for various purposes were voted down. Another flood o f bills and resolutions were intro­duced. An attempt was made to sus­pend. the rules and pass the river and harbor bill, but it was defeated, yeas 1G0, nays S6, not two-thirds in the affirmative, 3D. Belford (Rep., Col.) tried to get a resolution passed appro­priating an hour a day to do business by unanimous consent, and failed. The House then adjourned.

TUESDAY.In the Senate the resolution to pro­

vide for the enforcement of the eight hour law was indefinitely postponed. 3Ir. Blair (Rep., X . H.) introduced a joint resolution proposing a constitu­tional amendment prohibiting, after the year 1900. the manufacture and sale, anywhere within the United States, of distilled, alcoholic and intox­icating liquors, the importation and exportation of such liquors, etc. Mr. Conkling (Rep., X . Y .) introduced a resolution, which -was adopted, direct­ing the secretary o f the treasury to re­port to the Senate the names o f all persons nominated by the collector of the port o f X ew Y ork between Janu­ary and December, 1880, for appoint­ment in the Xew York custom house, and whether any appointment had been made in violation o f civil service, rules, etc. The pension appropriation bill was then taken up. A fter consider­able discussion, Mr. Plumb’s amend­ment increasing the pension clerical force was agreed to. Without final ac­tion on the hill the Senate took np and concurred in the House resolutions re­lating to the death of Mr. Farr and adjourned.

In the House the river and harbor bill was reported and referred to the committee of the whole. The legisla­tive, executive and judicial hill was also reported hack and referred to the same committee. A resolution was passed arranging the privileged visitors to the.electoral countceremonyWednes- day. The Senate bill appropriating mon­ey to search for the lost arctic steamer Jeannette was referred to the commit­tee on appropriation with instructions to report it back within a week. After a contest as to the order of business the House voted to go in committee of the whole in the legislative, etc., ap­propriation hill, but witfiout conclud­ing it, rose. The death pf Representa-

Off the Track.—-One of the ears of a freight train going east over the Michigan Central road ran off the rack, near the Bakerto wn crossing, v'es-

terday morning. One truck was down between the rails so that the flange of the wheels on one tide cut off the bolts at the rail joints, and a good number of spike heads, nearly the entire dis­tance between the crossing and the west switch, so that new spikes and bolts had to be put mbefore the track could be considei'ed sa'e.

The coroner’s jury in the case of Major Joss, who was killed by the over­turning of the A ir Line passenger train last week, appeared rather brash on the railroad company. The evi­dence given before the jury shows that two freight trains had passed over the broken rail before the accident occurred, and that the company had full knowl­edge of the defect but failed to notify the managers of this train. Poliow­ing is the verdict as rendered by the jury:

A t an inquisition held on the 2d and 3d days of February, A. D. iss i, in the township of Howard, county of Cass, before Almon Gott, a Justice of the Peace in and for said county, upon the body o f John G. Joss, then and there lying dead, to inquire into and deter­mine the cause of his said death, we, the undersigned jurors, duly empan- neled upon our oath, do say that said deceased was killed by the overturn­ing of a passenger car on the Air Line Railroad near Barron Lake, Howard township, Cass county, Mich., and we further find that the cause of said car being thrown from the track aud over­turned was a broken rail, and we fur­ther find that some one or more of the employes (unknown to us) of the Mich­igan Central Railroad Company, were grossly or criminally negligent in not notifying the persons in charge of said passenger ear of said broken rail, or in not causing the same to be repaired before said car was allowed to pass.

at the Ilaskin House one night last week, representing that lie was run­ning for a boot and shoe house in De­troit. In the morning he left a square package very nicely done up, with the landlord and said he would go to the depot and get his samples. He went, took the train and skipped out. As soon as the landlord assertained he had gone, he examined the package and found two chunks of stone coal wrapped up in an old newspaper.

“Basswood Miller, o f Benton Harbor, claims patents on certain pieces of ma­chinery placed in the Buchanan Excel- sior.Faetory, and' will make it hot for the Buchanan Company unless they comply with his demands.”

AYhy, bless our souls! Did you ever ?

AYe try to treat our neighbors well when they come to see us; give them a good square meal, show them through our manufacturing establishments, never refusing them adinittance for fear they will steal some of our valuable patents or infringe on ns by using them; show' them our com­fortable residences, stores, and anything else we have that might interest them; invite them to come and live where people sleep with “one eye open” for the “main chance,” and send them away (if they do not conclude to stay) rejoic­ing. Come and see our Excelsior Fac­tory. Mr. Alirror, and bring Basswood Aliller with you. AYe will give him a chock on the Fanners’ and Manufactur­ers' Bank for all he may claim from us for infringements on his Patent Bass­wood Curled Hair Excelsior Machinery.

ThS nationally gratifying fact that Edwin Booth has just made so y%>able a Mt In London in “Eicheher/^iills to mind, says the San Praneisco Aews- Letter, a little story told by our leading star to the. writer one Sunday during Ms visit here, while taking a look at the Golden Gate from the lantern of the Point Bonita light-liouse.

“ Once, during the days o f my early struggles in the profession,” said Booth, “ and while we were ham-storming down in Virginia, an odd thing happen­ed. which illustrates theshiftsto wMch the ‘poor player was then put in order to get along. AYe were playing—‘show­ing,’ they called it then—one night, at a little place called Lee's Landing, and the tobacco warehouse we had impro­vised into a theatre was crowded by planters from miles around. We had arranged to take the weekly steamer which they expected would arrive late that night', and between the acts were all busy packing up. The play was ‘Merchant o f Venice,' and we were just going on for the court scene, where the .lew insists on Ms pound of tlesh. when we heard a whistle Mow. and the man­ager came running in to say that the steamer had arrived ahead of time, and would leave again in ten minutes.

" i s that was our only chance o f get- tinglriown to the Chesapeake we were naturally in a terrible quandary. ‘ I f we stop right here and explain.' said the manager, ‘ the audience will think they are being cheated and go in for a free light. The only thing we «u i do is for you fellows to get up some sort o f a natural like, impromptu ending for the piece and ring down the drop. Go right ahead, ladies and gentlemen, and take your cue from Xed here.’ and he hurried away to get the lirggage on hoard.

“ I f it had bran in any other quarter of the country 1 wouldn't have had the assurance to do as he said, but the ig norance o f the elay-rarers or ordinary Virginians o f that day was something marvelous: so when old George Bug­gies. who was doing ‘Shyiock.' got to where he sharpens his knife on his shoes, I walked up solemnly to Mm and raid:

"You're hound to have flesh, are yon?”"You bet your life,” raid George, un­

der the impression that he was impro­vising very skillfully indeed.

“Vow. I'll make yon one more dicker.” I continued. “ In addition to this hag of ducats I ’ll throw iu a shot-gun. two kegs o f niggerliead terback. and a coup­le o f the best coon dogs In the State.”

“ I'm Mamed if I don't do it,” said •Shyiock.’ much to the approbation of the' audience, who were tobacco raisers and coon Mutters from the ground up.

“ And to show there is no hard feel­ing." raid Portia, turning up her legal robe., "w e will wind up with a Virginia reel.”

And as the prompter struck up "Money Musk” on his fiddle, we danced a couple o f figures and made a break for the boat amidst thunders of ap­plause.

"When we got on board, the steamer's captain,, who had witnessed the conclu­sion of the play with great delight, ten­dered the troiipe the compliment of a hot supper, and remarked, as we sat down to wliat was a rare treat in ‘ those palmy days of the drama:'

"I'd like to see the whole of that play some time, gentlemen. I'm blamed if I thought that fellow Shakespeare had so much snap to Mm.”

IA R i v a l to' K ero se n e .i f . Kordig, a Hungarian, has been

lately perforating Some experiments, at scientific meetings in Paris, with a vol­atile combustible liquid, which is of- ] fered for lighting purposes. Having arranged on the table several lamps in which the thud bums with a beautiful bright flame, M. Kordig states that the substance presents no danger of fire or explosion, and he gives the following- tests: He pours a quantity of theliquid on 1ns hat and lights it, where­upon a long flame springs up to the railing. l ie puts Ms hat on Ms head and waits till the flame goes out, and the lint is then shown to he intact. Next he pours some of the‘ liquid on the floor and on a handkerchief, and lights it: the floor and the handkerchief are no ways damaged. Some drops may he put in the hollow of one’s hand and burnt without producing appreciable pain. These facts are readily explain­ed. M. Kordig’s mineral essence boils at about 35 degrees C., and the tension of its vapor is considerable, so Uuit it is not the liquid that hums, hut its vapor. The new liquid is said to he obtained from natural oils recently discovered in Hungary. It has a slight smell of petroleum and produces on the hand a cold sensation like ether.

St. Elmo's Fire.The following account of an electri­

cal phenomenon which was witnessed on the British ship John O'Gaunt ap­peared in the San Francisco Bulletin on January 13. over the signature of H. Foord Clark, the ship's physician:

"During the evening of Xovember 23. 1SS0. tlie atmosphere had bran disturb­ed and had presented to our gaze five wonderful waterspouts, one o f great size and volume. After the excite­ment -consequent on watching the wa-

when the chief officer came to rail hie on to the poop. t>n my arrival there I perceived a bright globe of light at the niizzen royal mast, o f a clear yellow tint, burning steadily, and unaffected either by the motion o f the ship or by the wind, the globe Wing about the size o f a large limiter. I recognized it as the magic fire o f St. Elmo. I ob­served it carefully for some time, and was wisMng that I could climb the mast and make a nearer view of this magic flame when one of our midship­men came forward and volunteered to ascend. Here, then, was my chance of making an experiment through a medi­um wMch I believe has never before been attempted, and in that way aiding the knowledge of my fellow-men.

Love Behind the Bars.An interesting ceremony took place

in the jail yard at twelve o'clock yes­terday. whereby Mr. George Smithson, of Sh'eihyville, was married to Mrs. Bet- tie Dunn, of Gallatin. Justice A. D. Creighton tied the nuptial knot in the presence of the jail officers. Justice It. K. Adams and three members of the city press.

The groom was arrested some three years ago upon a charge of horse-steal­ing. in '.Sumner county, but being ac­quitted upon a fair trial, "before a jury of his peers." he was then taken to Mielbyville where a similar charge was pre ferred against him. There lie was tried, found guilty and sentenced to ten years imprisonment, and is eoiitined in jail here awaiting a hearing before the supreme Court.

iVhilc confined in Gallatin it was re­ported that the prisoner was an exceed­ingly handsome man. aial Mrs. Dunn, the widow o f Dr. Diuiu. of that place, made it convenient to meet Mm. She seemed to he infatuated with the pris­oner and continued to visit Mm "in liis dungeon cell.” Smithson began to cherish a tender passion for the lady, and although a few years his senior he courted and was accepted by her. Up­on hearing of what had occurred the relatives o f Mis. Dunn bitterly opposed the union, but her devotion to her im­prisoned lover overcame tlieir entreat­ies. and she came down to Nashville and was married to Mm yesterday, as above stated. The groom, although still good looking, shows the result of long eonfiuement. He wove a dark suit of clothes, while the bride wore a ma­roon colored dress. Mack dolman and a black hat with a white feather in it. As som as they were pronounced "hus­band and wife,” he kissed his bride and she left the prison. It is her intention to remain in Nashville until he comes out o f liis trembles.—Xa-vhrilh Ameri­can, January 25.

A Cheap Magic Lantern.A simple magic lantern, from the

construction and use of which a good deal of instruction and amusement may he derived during winter evenings, is described in the Scientific American. A small box. a kerosene lamp with an argand burner, a little fisli-globe filled with pure water, and a common double or plano-convex lens are all the materi­al necessary to make it. A hole is bored in the top of the box to permit the chimney of the lamp to passthrough and allow the heat and the products of combustion to escape. In the side of the box a round hole is cut large enough to admit a portion of the globe wliieh Is suspended inside the box close to the lamp. A piece of common window glass Is then moistened with a strong solution of sulphate of soda, and placed on a stand or clip so that the light from

| .the lamp will he focused on it by the globe. The image of the glass will thus he thrown upon a screen when the lens is properly adjusted. The formation of the crystals o f the sulphate of soda will he seen clearly on the screen, and ap­pear like the magical growth o f a for­est. Any ingenious family can readily devise a great number of interesting experiments with this inexpensive lan­tern.

It is a standard medical preparation, of known and acknowledged curative power, and is as cheap as its careful preparation aud due ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians, knowing its composition, prescribe it in their practice. The test of half a century has proven its absolute certainty to cure all pul­monary complaints not already beyond the reach of human aid.
