WASHINGTON NEWS.
Secretary Fish-s'ase Of Pat Woods
The Tax Bill-Indian War Ru-
mOrs.
WASHINGTON. July 6.
SECRETARY FISH.

! SECRETARY FISH.
1t was stated in these dispatches Oh
Saturday last that Secretary Fish would
probably resign this week, and it car
be added now that his desire in that re
spect has already been communicated tc
the President, who is very 10th to &C
cept the resignation. Should Mr.. Fish,
however, insist upon its acceptance, he
will doubtless be rendered in turn a
foreign mission, possibly that to England
or Berlin. As Mr.. Motley is to be re
called at once, it is thought that Mr..
Fish will be nominated for the English
mission. No one hardly presumes to
speculate on the name of the successor
for the State Department should a
change be at once effected, but New
Workers are confident that Edward ;.
Pierrepont is the coming man.
THE TAX BILL
As amended by the Senate, and return
ed to the House to-day, reduces the
tariff and internal taxation between
fifty and sixty millions of dollars, and
leaves the income tax in a shape to be
retained for at least two years more
The Senate rate is fixed at two and a
half per cent, while the House pro
posed three per cent, two thousand
dollars being exempted in each case.
The disagreement will be compromised
in a Conference committee, and the
probability is very strong that the tax
will be finally settled at two and half
per cent. A movement, however, will
be made in the House to restore the
tax on gross receipts, to cut down the
duty on sugar and abolish the income
tax, but in the peculiar parliamentary
rules that govern bill in the situation
of this tax bill, there is very little
reason to believe that such an attempt
will be successful.
THE INDIAN WAR RUMORS.
Notwithstanding the recent alarming
reports from official sources mentioning
indications of immediate and general
Indian hostilities, the Bureau here is in
clined to think, from communications
received from its agents, that the season
has advanced to a period which will
not favor any such movement among
the Indians, and, consequently, regard
the majority of the reports recently
published as by no means entitled to
credit. Major Randall, of the Chey-
ennc Agency, who is here in charge Of
the Sioux delegation, and whose expe-
rience, in Indian matters, gathered this
spring, is entitled to consideration, does
not believe that all the uncivilizcd In
dians on the plains and western reser-
vations will have the termerity to war
against the Government. That vast
numbers of them are so disposed is,
however unquestionable, and some de-
clare that unless the Great Father fills
them up with meat, all the plains In
dians are going on the war path. The
reports are very contradictory, and
while warlike statements come from
one part of the Indian sections, peaceful
indications are detailed from others
The Indian office depreciates the stories
from the West, which are frequent, and
assert that the majority of them an"
very much exaggerated.

The former preparation is many times

"HEART WEEDS"

The weeds ofthe heart, how they flourish
and thrive
] In the beautiful summer OF life;
How they spread their green banners to
catch the bright showers,
And hide from the sunlight the sweet spring
ing flowers
TIL the air with their poison is rife!
Oh gather them carly, dear children i
pray:
The buds.and the blossoms OF sin;
Don't think it sufficient to pluck up the
shoots,
But deeper and deeper dig hard at the roots,
That are fastened so firmly withinI
Tie weeds Of the heart may look stately and
fair,
And glow in their emerald sheen;
But you'll never mistake them for plants
that are rare,
If you weed youths fair garden with pa
tience and care,
And keep all the rosy paths clean.
Dig hard, uproot every vestige OF pride,
Or guilt, in no matter what guise;;
And while you are earnestly pulling up
weeds,
Take care that you scatter abroad no vile
seed,
Again in your garden to rise.
When the weeds of the heart are uprooted
and gone;
Let the beautiful roses of love,
And the ivy OF trust, ard the lilies of truth,
Climb about on the walls of your innocent
youth,
TIL they reach Gods garden above.

This profession of regard for the
craft won the tender hearts of the
printers, and they kindly suggested tt
him the necessity of getting set Of
books for putting down the drinks, as
it was vulgar and only worthy the
lowest grade of saloons for patrons tC

by passing in their checks" all Of
which was satisfactory to the propri.
etor of the "Brinter's Salloon,n who
procured the suggested supply OF
books and commenced his ascent
through allucrative business towards
the dizzy heights of fortune.
Of course it would not be proper fol
him to inquire the names of his Gus

the following parties. We omit The

The Lancet says of the children's
parties of the period: "Children are
excited beforehand, and still more, at
the time. They are dressed INSULT
GENTLY; they dance themselves into
great fatigue; they eat and drink, at
late evening hours, what would try
their digestion badly enough in the
midday vigor, and, worst of all, they
lose from two to six hours sleep.
The Interior consequences of this
disarrangement of their habits and
their functions are paleness, languor,
and the development of various other
ailments. By all means let children
have their own gatherings, but let
them be within reasonable hours. Let
food be simple, dress sufficient and
warm. And above all, let not the
precious hours of sleep be curtailed
just when, by reason of excitement
and exhaustion, they need to be ex-
tended"

Bishop Heber said: "It is fatal
mistake to suppose that there can be
no apostacy from Christ where we are
not absolutely called on to deny his
name, or to burn incense to an idol.
We deny our Lord whenever, like
Demas, we through love of this pres
ent world forsake the course of duty
which Christ has plainly marked out
for us. We deny our Lord whenever
we lend the sanction Of our counte-
nance, our praise, or even our silence,
to measures or opin ions which may
be popular or fashionable, but which
we ourselves believe to be sinful in
themselves or tending to sin. We de-
ny our Lord whenever we fOrsake a
good man in affiiction, and refuse to
give cOuntenance, encouragement and
support to those who, for Gods sake
and for the faithful discharge of their
duty, are exposed to persecution and
slander." fEHr

Times. Four gentlemen were discuss
ing the subject of bores, each declar-
ing that he knew the most disagreea-

growing animated, it was agreed that
the four bores should be brought to-

day was appointed, and each gentle
man agre ed to bring his bore to the
Star and Garter, at Richmond, where
covers were to be laid for eight. The
hour arrived and three carriages drove
up to the famous inn, each with but
one occupant Three of the four gem

without enquiring what the trouble
was. So, patting the little fellow
gently on the shoulder, he said in a
fatherly tone, "What makes you cry,

A day or two before the last mail left
England strange affair occurred in a
private hotel in Finsbury, London.
The inhabitants of the house were
aroused at the dead of night by the
crashing of glass. The landlady went
down stairs, and met the porter, named
Spinas, Ia Germany at the top of the
stairs. He called out, 'EDOn't go down
the devil is therew A policeman was
called, and, upon entering small
room in which Spinas slept, horri-
BILE spectacle presented itself. Lying
on her back, with features all beaten
in and gashed, "the eyes running into
the cheeks, and into one another" ,"
was the body of a woman Her dress
was torn, bloody and disarranged.
She had evidently fought desperately
for her life, and in one of her hands
few dark hairs swere found, cores
ponding to the hair of Spinas. No one
could tell at first who she was, or
whence she came. But the announce
ment of the discovery in the newspa-
pers led to her indentification. She
was girl from the country, young
and pretty, who had taken to dissO-
lutte life. Spinas must have met her,
taken her to the room In question,
and there beaten her to death with
empty champagne bottles. He was
arrested, and if found guilty of the
crime no political influence will suf-
flee to save him from the gallows.

tress, to borrow 100000 for a year,
saving that he must have it, and that
his business would justify him in pay
ing any rate of interest. Mr.. X. told
him that no business could stand a
premium of three per cent. month,
but, finding him hard to convince,
took the following ingenious method
"Why discount for so short time ?'
asked Mr.. King. "Why not make it

at three per cent. month on $780,
