Court, near London, had an old parshios-
er and communicate, whom he had been
visiting during short illness. At last
the medical attendant called and informed
Mr.. 1t that the old man was dying;
whereupon he Immediately went to him to
administer the sacrament. After which
he told the old mans wife that her hus-
band would not live long, and if there
was anything she wished to say to him,
she had better do it whilst he was able to
understand her.
She Immediately went to his bedside,
and said-"John, Mr.. 1t says your
going to dee. l wish when you git to
heavcn you'd look out for my first hus.
band and tell him I've been doin' pratty
well sim he laft me, an l often wish l
might see him az in"
The old man turned his eyes upon his
wife with deprecating expression, and
raising himself little, replied-''Lord
help thee; Meary, how do est thee think
tina. ou'd and la'am as | he l car 90 raang,
ing all DER heaven to find thy first hus-
band?''

Butler and Dawes are engaged in a
sharp contest for the leadership of the
House of Representatives. Our sym.
pathies are with the Hon. Rufus Dawes,
the champion of retrenchment, and the
fearless enemy of corruption and mis-
management, irrespective Of party. But
Ter, by the way of stealing march on
Dawes, proposed, the other day, to re.
duce the allowance for pay and mileage
of members from million and half Of
dollars to one million, and to deduct
from the latter sum the. appropriation
for mileage. The House, however,
didn't seem to see it, and the Hon. Sun.
set Cox made bitter attack on the hero
of Fort Fisher, in which he INDUCED in
some personal reflections on his exploits
that were quite insulting. But Ben.
jamin F. has tough moral cuticle. He
doesn't mind being hauled over the
Goals, and rarely defends himself when
arranged for his misdeeds. On the oc.
casion referred to he merely replied with
a majestic wave or the hand and the
classic remark, '.Shoo-fy. don't bodde,
me-" He did not succeed, however
in his attempt to cut down the pay and
perquisites of the assembled wisdom.
