A LITERAL RUNAWAY MATCH,

a capital story Is told BY Texas IA.
per OF Runaway match that came of in
that State. 1t seems that couple had re.
solved to get married, Notwithstanding
the opposition of the parents and relatives
oi every degree, and secured the cooper
ation OF friendly clergyman, they all
three mounted their horses and set out for
a trends mansion several miles distant.
where the rites could be solemnized with.
out interference. They had not gone far.
however before their fight was discover.
eu' ana then there was as much mount.
ing, andlacing, and chasing as occurred
on the occasion Of Young Lochinvar's"
celebrated elopement with the Nctherby
maiden. The lovers and their faithful
pastor soon heard the noise oftheir wrath
iul pur,uers and gave their horses the
spur. But alas . their pursuers were bet
ter mounted and gained fast upon them.
1t was evident that they would soon be
captured when felicitous inspiration of
the maiden came to their aid. Can't YOU
marry us rs we run ?" she shouted TO the
clergyman. The idea took and the pastor
at once commenced the ritual. All par-
ties covered themselves with glory" and
Just as the brides father clutched her bri-
die rein, the clergyman pronounced them
husband and wife. When the old gentle
man first learned what had been done, he
was inclined to be furious; but being a
gallant old fellow, and admiring dashing
action, he soon concluded to forgive the
in consideration of the hand
some and novel manner in which they
triumyhed over him.

heatry Irish laugh "Oh, what hand ve

"Iour mother is dead"

Maloney, with a touch Of genuine pathos.

"Sure, the little creature. and she's n

You havn't any fashionable dresses, ei.

fashionable, is it? Oh, yes, ! put a

old hood that We gave me-
You havn't got any lover Mary "
"Oh, be otfwid ye-ketch Mary Malonv
No, no, thank heaven, anti got that to
trouble me yet, nor don't want it"
"What on earth, then, have YOU got TO
make you happy? A drunken brothe er, a
poor helpless sister, no mother, no father.

happiness from?
THE Lord be praised, Miss, it growed
up in me- Give me bit of suns hine, n
clean fure, plenty Of work, and sup at
the right time, and I'm made. That makes
me laugh and sing and if deep troubles
come, why, God helpin' me, I'll try to
keep my heart up. Sure, it would be
sad thing if Patrick M'Grue should take it
INTO his head to come and axe me, but the
Lord willing I'd try to bear up under it,"
The last speech upset my gravity. The
idea OF looking upon lover as an aifiic-
ticn, was so droll But she was evidently
sincere, having before her the example of
her sisters husband and her drunken
brother.

No Loss IN KEEPING THE SABBATH
While the Dutchess of Kent was recently
in Edingbureh, the hotel keeper with
whom she stopped having no biscuit of a
particular kind called Albert biscuit TO
give to her royal highness, sent to the ba.
key for some. As it was the Sabbath, the
honest baker refused TO sell any, even to
royalty. On hearing this the Duchess was
so pleased, that she ordered him .osupply
her household with biscuits during her
stay in the Highlands; and the Queen al.
so ordered him to send forty dozen of the
same weekly to her at Balmoral.

To these amounts there must be added an annual
sum Of about 100000, paid by the Clexk Of the
House Of Representatives and the Secretary Of the
Senate, for stationery, Irvine and hermaterias
used in the folding rooms of Congress Unfolding and
sending away the public documents
The following statement will give some idea OF
the work done IN the folding room Of the House:
There were eJIG6I volumes Of public documents
folded and sent 10 members during the Thirtyfour
Congress. During the same period there were
1884 $50 speeches folded and sent out About the
same number Of each was folded in the folding
room Of the Senate.
Under the foregoing exhibits your committee deem
IL pertinent TO state that the result Of their inquiries
In relation thereto has satisfied them that saving
for each Congress referred TO q over half million
of dollars might have been effected by proper
system.
coScLuHox
From The preceding facts your committee feel an.
thorzed TO say that very large amount of money Is
annually paid to politicians and spectators through
contracts for printing binding, engraving, &C., and
that the mode by which the public work is now done
not only presents opportunities for frauds upon the
treasury but invites and stimulates an unnatural
competition among parties who are willing 20 risk
their reputation in business promising such large
gains.
The injurious effects Of the present plan arc two
fold IL Injuries the private business of the country
stated in the letter of Meesrs. Arthur Co; IL
offers premium for dishonest spectators, and
enables them to Cypress the honest and hard work
ing artizan. IL contributes very largely TO lower
Congress in the estimation Of the public and thus IT
inflicts serious wound upon our institutions
The printing, binding, &C. in connection with
everything else except the legitimate legislation Of
the country, should be removed from Congress, and
beyond Congressional influence. The great objects
OF legislation, involving the prosperity and dignity
Of the nation, are neglected or overlooked in the
pressure of petty details in races after Congress
sional officials, whose love Of precedent leads them
beyond the line Of public economy, and sometimes

expense of the present mode of doing the public
printing, your committee recommend the establish
ment of bureau for the public printing, come cted
with and under the direction Of the Department Of
the Interior, In this way your committee believe
that large amount OF money can be annually saved.
Taking the Congressional and departmental print
ing and binding and the puDhcation OF the pro-
ceedngs ard debates together, we think that forty
per centum On the gross amount, at least can be
saved This amount for one year Oh the cost Of the
usua! and necessary work would more than pay the
entire expenses of establishing the bureau. But
your committee consider this annual saving however
important to the Treasury to be of minor conside-
ration when compared with the many advantages
and benefits 10 be gained by the establishment OF
printing bureau.
The demoralizing effects of the present system Of
public plunderng would be removed, while it would
relieve Congress from the imputations just or unjust
which grow out of the election of its printers and
binders. IL would also relieve individual members
from the opportunities OF friends interested in the
known fact that many of the expensive, but al
most useless works recently published, forced
upon Congress by parties interested in the public
printing
tried and adopted by almost every European nation
Their experience has given entire satisfaction.
In England the work is done by public prin-
tiers under the Royal Charter, and as the
R Eo s certain psa rses sel s
sembles our present plan, but it has given sat
isfaction. In 1881 Lord Nugent and j. Vernon
Smith were appointed select committee to investi-
gate the subject. Mr.. Parks, then the sole manager
of MIR. Clovers great printing establishment gave it
as his opinion that saving of One-half might be
made in the expenses by the establishment of public
printing Office. The committee reported the facts,
but suggested no remedy. From that time to the
present there has been constant complaints, and a
regular succession of select commttees but they have
gained nothing but reduction in the profits Of the
public printer, which was effected by resolution re-
ported by the select committee on the 18th of June
1856.
Trusting in better fruits from the labor of your
committee, they beg to report for adoption the &C
ment of the Interior for the execution of the public
printing, binding, engraving, lithographing and
electrotypng. AL of which is respectfully submit
ted.
