NOT ON THE PROGRAMME.
A Saturday Night Bathing Scene


1t is not exactly right to laugh at our
fellows misfortunes, and yet, like the
wag who saw another squirm under the
pangs Of 4 jumping toothache, the thing
was so ludicrously V comical, that we had
to laugh or bust \ party of jolly chaps
in order to cool off after the sweltering
heat of Saturday evening, hicd to the
Monongahela river, Just above the
Smithfeld street bridge, for an old fash
ioned bath and swim. They went di-
vested Of all superhuous gear, and at
once plunged into the inviting waters.
The pioneer OF the party yelled out,
MY God, Frank, but the bottom is
muddy and sticky" but in they went,
wading out as far as the depth would
permit-one unfortunate weight, who
was hairy as Esau, stopping down and
grasping handfulls OF the bottom de-
posit and rubbing it over his body. The
discovery was soon made that the ma
terial was coal-tar, the refuse OF the gas
works, which had been dumped there to
be got rid Of The whole party were
black as Africans in certain spots and
their feet were thoroughly encascd in
the adhesive material. Bathing was
soon brought to an end, and as their
and as their bodies were so coated is to
preclude the possibility Of donning their
garments, they took up the line Of
march for the Merchants hotel with
not even the dignity of a Georgia sum
mer costume,--a shirt collar and II pair
OF spurs Fortunately at that hour
there wereno peeping Johns orprying
members Of the Sorosis, to impede their
sorrowful pace, and with their crumpIcd
linen and outside duds in hand, they
made rapid time.
Arrived at the Merchants, tub of
water was speedily provided in the
saloon, and with firkin of lard and a
box of soap, the scrubbing process com
menced. The tarry substance was ten
acious; and as the victims creased and
scrubbed, washed aud sworc, the scene,
as witnessed by an outsider, was one to
make even dog split his sides with
laughter, and would have furnished to a
Hogarth or Cruikshahk material for
one of the most ludicrous sketches that
ever employed their graphic and ready
pencils. The next morning the whole
party were as melancholy as if they had
Just witnessed the destruction of a still
house-sore from rubbing, and whether
at table to enjoy the ordinary repast, or
in the reading room, striving to reap the
benefit of the cooling breeze, visions Of
the past night would rise up before them,
and they emphatically declared that
the odor of tar wasin everything around
them.

SENATE.

The tax bill came up as the untin
ished business, and Mr.. Sherman, chair
man of the Finance committee, stated
as the result of the consultation in re
gard to the bill, that they had agreed to
let all the income tax go, and as sub.
stitute to retain the tax on sugar as II
is now, and also the tax on gross re,
ceipts He said the House proposition
for classification Of the tax on sugars
had been objected TO by the business
men throughout the country, and the
Senate committee on Classification had
encountered equally strong opposition.
THE remaining sections of the bill
would clear up antiquities in reference
to the special tax on dividends Of cor
porations, such as insurance companies,
and relative to Shakers and other re-
ligious societies.
The income tax section was stricken
out without division.
Mr.. Sherman offered new section
to continue the tax on corporations and
salaries during this year The amend
ment was agreed to, and various Others
submitted by Mr.. Sherman to carry out
the recommendations Of the Finance
committee.
An amendment to authorize the con-
solidation Of collection districts was
agreed to.
The tariff sections having been reach
ed, an amendment striking out the duty
of five cents on chicory, succory, dande-
lion root and acorn coffee, raw, ground
or burned or prepared, and on all sub
stitutes for coffee, was agreed to.
Mr.. Sherman endeavored to with
draw the amendments reducing the
duties on sugar according to the Senate
committee classifcations so as to allow
the rates to remain under the existing
laws.
Mr.. Hamlin objected TO the with
drawal of the section and asked to have
4 vote on it.

mans motion to strike out the reduc-
ton of the tax on sugar was rejected.

A correspondent writing from Alden on the
22dult. gives the following account Of a storm
which has just occurred there, and which has
resulted in the death Of two British soldiers
and several natives, besides great loss of prop
erty:"We have had aterrifc storm for the
last two days. At about P. NJ. the day be-
fore yesterday sand-squall rushed over the
place, followed by a dowr-pour of rain, which
lasted for three hours. At II P. N. the storm
recommended, ushered in with loud thunder
and vivid lightning, and then the rain descend
ed again in torrents till o'clock the following
morning. No such storm has occurred here
since 1916. The report Of the thunder was
awful, and the lightning flashes surpassed in
brilliancy anything which I have ever wit
messed. Two soldiers were struck dead by
the lightning in Caup, where an immense
amount of damage has been done in the ba-
zaar and the native town. The roads, also,
have been washed away in several places, and
are now quite impossible to wheeled vehicles.
The tanks are full to overiowing, but they
have suffered considerable damage by the
huge rocks which were carried into them by
the rush of water from the hills. Many ma
tives and much cattle have been swept into
the sea by the irresistible current and drown
ed. The number Of lives lost has not yet been
ascertaiued, but will send you further par
ticulars by next mail. "

The rivalry for the control of the Demo-
cratic party in Maine which has existed for
several years past between the young element
and the old stagers, eliminated yesterday in
what will prove to be an open rupture like
that which beIel that party in 1856, and it bids
fair to be quite as disastrous in its results
The proceedings of the day are sketched in
another column; but ordinary language fails
to convey to the mind of the reader an ade-
quate idea of the stormy scenes there enact
ed. Like half.whippel bruiser with his eyes
closed by the powerful blows ofhis antagonist,
the party is striking wildly in the hope that
some good luck may come OF its frantic ef-
forts.
Fortunately the party is in good condition
for experiments; il cannot lose much; but
the expedient which the movers of the ad-
journment resolutions have started will fail Of
its intended effect. In the first place Gen.
Chamberlain is not going TO throw himself
into the arms of that party if he is invited.
Secondly, he will not lie invited, for when the
the scene Of conflict is transferred to Bangor
the character of the Convention will be
changed, and the Chamberlain men will find
themselves in a hopeless minority. That is
the present aspect OF affairs and time will pot
soften the feeling of the defeated faction: bu,
they will nurse their wrath and and prepare
for desperate fight and victory on the 18TH
of August.

The Lima, Ohio Gazette says lady in one
of our churches rested her head on the back
OF the pew in front, as all devout people do in
the time OF prayer, but in the pew before her
sat young man who neither bowed his head
or kneeled. A beautiful plume nodded and
danced upon the head of the fair one behind
MN, occasionally touching the neck of the
youth, who evidently considered it flyor
some other troublesome insect. For a time lie
bore the unpleasant sensation without mur.
mur, but at last patience ceased to be virtue,
and from the flash of his eagle eye one could
plainly see that the hour of i" that fly" had
come. Instead of saying "shoo-fy don't bod
der me-" cautiously his hand moved toward
the supposed offending insect; then followed
a frantic clutch and spring behind him. I'M
agine the horror of the youth to find in his
hand the nobby hat of the fair one, which he
had torn violently from her head, sadly disar-
ranging the contour of br9ids and chienon.
The lady was Indignant, of course, and the
youth could have been purchased at an i'm
mense sacrifice about that time. Explana-
tions and apologies followed and the disorgan-
lied was put in order as soon as possible, and
the devotional exercises were resumed.
