MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, February lS.-The
Senate has confirmed James 81. Black
burne as United States Marshal for the
Middle District of Tennessee.
Secretary Boutwell,, this morning. IN
conversation with leading members OF
the Ways and Means Committee, stated
EN- phatically that he was opposed to the
present reduction of $4,000, 900 of in
ternsl revenue taxation. He thought
the reduction of that amount might be
made after the Government had funded
FIVE or six millions of Indebtedness. He
was exceedingly anxious that the fund
ing bill reported by Senator Sherman
should be passed as speedily as possible;
that there was an abundance of money
now in Europe waiting investment;
that if the bill was passed at On early
day, be had no doubt that five or six
millions could be funded the present
year; and when that was accomplished,
the reduction of the $4,000. 600 of in
ternsl revenue taxes would be advisable.
Secretary Boutwell, informs the House
that the disbursements for Alaska thus
far amount to S5s7, 7s9, aad the receipts
from Customs and postofiices are s2l $50.
The Secretary of the Navy was in con
ference with the House Appropriation
Committee to-day, concerning the spprc-
priations called for by his Department.

RELIGIOUS DEPART IENf;.-
REV. G. u. HEARD, EDITOR.
A Young Mans Mistake,

A few days since we were conversing
with young man who seemed quite
disposed to cavi at religion as illustrated
in the lives Of Christians He manifes-
ted the profound ignorance obliviousness
of facts which in6dels display when
talking on this subject. One Of his
remarks was that he liked that class of
persons who took an intrest in the worl-
dly welfare of their fellowmen, and not
those who were bringing their religion
into everything, instead of supplying
the temporal needs of society and con-
tributing TO their mere amusement
One might have supposed that he had
just been born into the world. so igno-
rant did he seem of facts. We took
him up on his own ground, aud bv refer
ring to the charities of this great city.
rich and poor, showed him that the
very people who are giving their tens
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
for the temporal relief of the suffering
and the needy, are the Christien people
while the worldly millionaires are hoard
ing up their gold for their own selfish
satisfaction. Let any one take the re-
ports Of our hospitals and houses of ref
uge and homes for the unfortunate, and
he will find that in most of them, nearly
every dollar comes from Christian men
and women while the men and women
who are threading alleys and climbing
rickety stairs TO search out aud help the
children of want, are Christians. Who
ever meets in such places an ipGdel
engaged in work like this Such O
thing may be, but if it does occur, il
mnst be by very strange exception tc
the general rule. comparisons are odious
but never so much so as when they arc
untrue; and the eDemis of the Gospe
are very fond of making the false com
parsou indicated above All facts prove
it to be no. only unjust, but notoriousl
untrue. ~. Y Observer.

LEST THEY BE DISC CoURAGED.-A
father had given his son a book, and as
he was going away to preach at distant
appointment, he spoke of the appropri-
ateness of his spending his leisure houas
on the Sabbath in reading. While he
was gone a sudden impulse seized the
boy to win his fathers approval by
seeing how much he could read. So
every moment he could gain he read in
his new book, thinking all the time
how pleased his father would be with
his diligence. When he returned, he
hastened joyfully to meet him, showing
him the mark, and telling him the
number of pages he had read. But
the father was cold and tired, and worse
still, was thoughless. So he hastily put
the boy aside with the words. you shoud
have read twice as much" If 6

would have been a slight injury

Death Of Senator Watt.

Hon. VIM. Watt, member of the
Senate of this State, died suddenly at
his residence in Philadelphia, on Friday
last. His death creates vacancy in
the first Senatorial district of this State.
Mr.. Watt has been for long time an
influential member of the republican
party of Pennsylvania. He served
four terms as representative in lower
house, and was recognized as an able
member. He was about fifty years Of
age at the time Of his death.
Senator Watts death makes the
parties in the Pennlylvania Senate tic
--16 to 16. A special election to
choose his successor must be held under
writ directed by the Speaker Of the
Senate to the Sheriff Of Philadelphia.
THE Constitution of the State requires
The Speaker to issue the writ when the
vacancy occurs, and the act of July,
1889. prescribes that the election shall
be held within not less than fifteen and
not more than thirty days from the issui
ng of the writ. A deep interest will
centre about the election to ELL the
Vacancy, ;t::will be struggle for party
supremacy in the Senate The district
is democratic by asmall majority, as we
think the election returns OF the past
few years will show.
Gen. VIM. McCandless will doubt
less fill the vacancy occasioned BY th'
death of Mr. Watt The spendi(
run which he made in 1866, when h
was elected in the First District by
majority af about 1900 votes over Jerr
Nichols, marks him as the standar'
bearerer in the coming contest.-Den'

THE Corning Democrat says that
about the 1st Of May last, MIR. Nivison
of Watkins, who has devoted a larger
,ortiou of bis life TO the study of geoio
~, became convinced, from repeated
experiments, that the hill contained
mineral deposits that would pay tor in
vcstigation. Mr.. Nivison procured a
lease of the land, and proceeded to ex-
cavate, hoping to quarry stone Sufhcien'
pay expenses. But this hope proved
futile; parties needing stone would
rather buy it of some other man than
do anything to assist an enterprise IN
which they had no faith Only one
man was found whose faith led him tc
assist in carrying the enterprise to sue
cessful issue, and that waa Joseph Hcl
enbeck.
Joseph had faith, and now there Il
