FRAUDS AND CoRRUpTIoNs.-Tb country will
be astounded by the developments of the COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Sherman is chairmaD.-
Such abuses, corrupt combinations and spoliations
of etressury, have never been traced 20 directly
through all their ramifcstions before. Asippls
fact, by way of illustrating the manner in which
the Navy Yards have been converted into poit-
ical pesthouses. In May last, 1900 men were
employed at the Navy Yard at Brooklyn. In
November on the eve of the election, the num-
Der was increased to 2,40O. In Philadephis, l..
100 men were employed at the Navy Yard, and
onthe 10th of October, the number was increased
to 100, the difference being more than the
claimed majority for Mr.. Florence, the democrat
ic representative from that district In both these
instances, the men were reduced to about the
standing number, soon after the election, thus
clearly establishing the service for which they
were temporarily employed. These abuses had
to be authorized by the Secretary of the Navy
and he is therefore directly responsible for them.

TIE CUBAN SCHEME. IA gentleman who has
recently spent some time iu Cuba, writes to the
New Orleans Picayune that forty times the
thirty millions asked for by the President, would
not much facilitate the purchase OF Cuba under
present circumstances. He doubts, moreover,
whether any portion of this country, except the
Northern Commercial States, is greatly interested
in its acquisition, and that it would be injurious
rather than beneficial to the South. From his
own observation, moreover, he says be is satis-
fed that with the exception of American resi-
dents in Cubs and exiles or politicals malcon:
tents in this country, the people of the Island
are decidedly opposed to annexation to the
United States.

CONGRESSIONAL HUMBUeGERY.-At an evening
session Of Congress last week only z members
were at one time present and three set speeches
were nominally made in fifteen minutes. a
member would rise, read few minutes, and
ask leave of the committee to print the rest OF
his speech. 1t was granted, of course, and two
others followed in the same manner. Fifteen or
eighteen columns of the Congressional Globe
wore loaded down few days after with these
efforts, and constituencies are thus deluded into
the belief that their representatives are really
making figure in Congress, when not one menu
ber in twenty may know, even by accident, that
another has spoken.

POETRY.
The Country Lassie.

The Country Lassie.
She blossomed in the country,
Where sunny summer filings
Her rosy arms around the earth,
And brightest blessings brings;
Health was her sole inheritance,
And grace her only dover;
never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet a flower.
Far distant from the city,
And inland from the sea,
My lassie bloomed in goodness,
AS pure as pure can be:
She caught her dewy freshness
From hill and mountain bower,
never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet flower.
The rainbow must have lent her
Some of its airy grace;
The wild rose parted with blush,
That nestled on her face
The snnbeams got entsngled in
The long waves of her hair,
Or she had never grown to be
So modest and so fair.
The early birds have taught her
Their joyous matln song,
And some of their soft innocence,
She's been with them so long,
And for her now if need be,
I'd part with wealth and power;
I never dreamed the wild wood
Contained so sweet flower.

INDIGNATION AMoNa TIE CATHOLICS Con-
siderable indignation has been excited among
the French Catholics of Richmond, Virginia, by
the Conduct of Bishop McGill relative to the inter-
ment of Mrs Duquesne, member Of his church.
The Bishop refused to permit the body OF the
deceased to enter the church for the usual funeral
rites unless her husband first secured for her re-
mains burial place in the Roman Catholic bury
ing ground, which he declined to do. The de-

to spoil the comfort of the whole circle. A PEN

sometimes keep him quiet for you for an hour,
while you are talking, or in corner he may
build block house, annoying nobody. If be

balance which is the greatest evil-to be dis
turbed by him now or when he is q man.
Of all you can give your Charley, if you are
good man or woman; your presence is the
best or safest thing. God never meant him to
do without you any more than chickens with
out being brooded.
Then let him have some place in your house,
where he may hammer and pound, and make all
the litter his heart desires and bis various
schemes require. Even If you can Ill afford the
room, weigh we'll between that safe asylum and
ore which, if denied, he may make for himself
in the street.
OF all devices for Charley which we have, a
few shelves, which he may dignity, with the

up shells and pebbles and stones, all odds and
ends, nothing comes amiss and If you can give
him pair of scissors and little gum, there is
no end to the labels he will paste on, and the
hours he may innocently spend in asserting aud
arranging.
A bottle of liquid gum is an invaluable resource
for various purposes nor must you mind though

which he will do of course, if be does nothing
worse A cheap paint box and some engravings
to color, is another; and if you will give him

nature of the institution; you are only to choose
between safe and wholesome trouble, and the
