THE MINISTER'S DINNER.
BY LYDIA JANE PIERsON.

She Reverend Mr. N-was man Of excel
lent temper, generous feelings, and we'll cutiva-
ted mind, but he was eccentric even to oddity.
He was powerful preacher, and his ministratlon
was blest to the reformation Of many in his parish.
At the age of thirty-four, he became enamoured
of beautiful, light-hearted girl of seventeen,
daughter of one Of his richest parishioners, and
who imagined that to refuse the hand of minis
ter would be sin bordering hard upon the un-
pardonable. Well, the marriage was consumma-
ted, the brides fat portion paid and the husband,
as husbands in theirfrst love are apt to do, gave
in to the humor of his wife, and accompanied her
to several festive parties given by his wealthy
neighbors in honor of his marriage
The happy couple were sitting together in their
comfortable parlor, one evening toward spring,
the reverend gentleman studying the Venerable
Bede, and. his wife equally intent upon plate Of
the latest fashions, when she suddenly looked up
with an expression between hope and fear, and
thus addressed her companion
My dear husband, | have request to make.
tWeH, Nancy, any thing consistent
eYeu do not imagine that would make an IN
consistent request, surely 2
No-not a request that you considered incon'
sistent. But come, what is it +"
eWhy, nv dear SIR and her voice trembled-s
little. swe have been to several parties among tht
.neighboring gentry, and now think that to main
tain our position in society we should make

The minister looked blank.
What sort Of party, Nancy = he said a
length.
why she replied, such party as those w
have attended. We must have an elegant dinner
and dancing after it,
Dancing in minister's house, calculate
Mr.. N.
Why, yes, certainly replied his wife coax
ingly { You will not dance, the party will b
mine and ther we have been to similar partie
all winter
eTrue, true,' he muttered with perplexed all
and sat silent for some time as if considering
AT length he spoke. Yes, Nancy, you ma
make a party, give dinner, and if the guests de
sire it, you may dance
Thank you, love, she cried, putting her arm
around his neck ,...,.

CONGRESS-.

On Thursday the bill to revive the act of 1893
for the preservation of neutrality on the frontier
was ordered to its engrossmcnt in the Senate
without opposition.
In the House, Mr.. Gilmer reported bill from
the Retrenchment Committee to regulate the mile
age pay Of members. Mr. Fillmore spoke in
support of the recommendation of the Finance
committee to sell the stock authorised BY the Loan
bill for what it would bring. Mr.. Tillinghast also
sustained the recommendation. MIR. Pickens
took occasion to assail the Distribution bill. The
Administration of Mr.. Tyler, he said, he scorned
for its imbecility! Other members also spoke
MIR. Everett of Vermont, proposed to extend the
loan to 20 years, with proviso that no portion of
it should be disposed of for less than par.
The House has been engaged chiefly during the
week on the General Appropriation bill-and the
Senate has been discussing Mr.. Clay's Re,rencl,-
Inent resolutions.
~ Mr.. Stuart presented to the louise of Rep
resentatives on the l4h the proceedings of a con-
vention of lronmasters Of Virginia, held at Lex
ington, Virginia, in June, 1871, and the memori-
al of committee of that body, praying an in

THE BRITISH STEAMERS.

We are glad to that Congress has taken up
the subject of the British line of Steamers thai
traverse our coast. AS soon as the House was
organised Tuesday the following proceedings
took place
Mr.. Stanly offered the following resolutions:
Resoired, That the Secretary Of the Treasury
be directed to inform this House whether, in his
opinion, any further provision by law is necessary
to secure to American owned ships and vessels
the coasting trade of the United States, and also
the conveyance of passengers from one port there.

United States be directed to inform this House
whether, III his opinion, any further provision by
law Is necessary to secure The Post Office Depart.
ment from loss arising from the transmission of
letters by private persons coastwise from one
part OF the United States to another.
MIR. Bolts said he also had resolution on that
subject, which he submitted, as follows
Reso'ved, That the Committee on the Judiciary
be Instructed to inquire into the expediency of so
amending The navigation laws as to prevent in
reference or competition the part of foreign
steamers with the revenue laws Of the United
States by the transmission of letters from one
point Of the United States to another
The resolutions were all adopted.
We feel 10 further anxiety on the subject. The

Years passed away, when sailor in Maine, oil

since n sailor in Mobile died with similar con-

of the I'd instant the following paragraph con-
corning the same matter:

AFFAIRS WITH ENGLAND

| The news by the Acadia, in reference to the de-
cision Of the British Government in the case of
the Creole is unpleasant enough, and renders a
war between not improbable. The Richmond
Enquirer says-",pc hnow that il 1.-THE news) has
produced the deepest impressio.. at Washington,
and that the members Of the Cabinet are forming
the most unpleasant auguries from the decisive
result Of the Creole question, and that they are
pressing tie necessity of preparing for the
worsi.'
The folowingis from the Executive organ, the
Nadisonian:
Our readers will observe that, according to the
intelligence brought by the Acadia steamer from
England, Il debate had taken place in the British
House of Lords, i'm which the affair of the Creole
was the subject OF discussion. Ii is probable that
the letter Of MIR. Webster had at the time reached
London, and that its contents were known to
Lord Aberdeen; but the members OF the House Of
Lords, who participated in the d, bate, were not
advised OF the views taken by the Secretary of
State in reference to the affair." and acted in all pro-
liability, solely upon the representations made by
the authorities OF New Providence. 1t will be
observed that Lord a. expressed himself very
guardcdly on the occasion, and that Ills remarks
were founded entirely upon the principle, uuIyer-
sally admitted TO have been established by the
law OF nations tina; In the absence of treaty stpu-
IdUoHS 10 IndI effect, no power has fIght 10 de-
mand Of another the restitution Of criminals Gug-
tive from justice. This is the doctrine which The
Supreme Court Of The United States constantly
holds but the truth Of this doctrine does not dis
pose OF, and, indeed, does not touch, the case Of
the Creole. In that case the United States has
made no demand for the restoration of fugItives
iromJus!ice, and, consequently, makes no COM
plant Of the reIusa! of such demands. The COM
plant is, that an American vessel in passing from
one port Of tie United States TO another with
slaves on board, was carried by mutiny into ore
of the British islands, and the local authorities of
that island, instead of contenting themselves with
the performance Of their plain duty Of delivering
the Captain from the confinement TO which the
mutnoers had subjected him, and then restoring
the ship TO his command and control, directly in
lerered, or directly encouraged others to inter-
iere, IN forciby freeing the slaves from the au-
thority the master and assisting their dispersion.
They retained the nineteen persons engaged in
the mutlny and murder, AMI now as was antci-
Dated in Mr.. Webstcr's letter they find they can
rot punish the crime themselves and decline TO
'end them to the United States for trial aud pun

LADIES' FAIR.

The Ladies OF the Episcopal Sewing Society
are to hold a Fair on Monday for the sale of some
of their handiwork; and, as is customary, they
will have tables abundantly provided with refresh
ments. There is triple satisfaction in encoura-
gng these fair Adventures in trade. First it plea
scs them-which is certainly no small considera-
tion-I'hen it pleases ourselves, for we are pref
ty certain TO get the worth of our money in what
we buy-And again, have the qualification to
know that we are aiding by oure expenditures some
prasewor'hy and benevolent object. With such
inducements-(and how ingenious are the contri-
vances of Woman to make the path of duty plea
SAINT to us!)-we doubt not the Fair will be liber-
