A Nice PIaythiug.

At Pawtucket, r. l., there lives a
certain young gentleman aged eighteen
months. The other day this youth
kept quiet an unusual time, and his
mother, suspecting all was not right,
went into an adjoining room to look
hlm up, Here she looked upon sight
which almost curdled her blood with
terror Upon the floor, by an open
bureau drawer sat this ''precocious
youth, with loaded and capped and
self-cocklng revolver in his hand. and
he was amusing himself by ramming
the muzzle of the piece down his
throat, working at the trigger and ham
mering it upon the floor. AS soon as
the mother recovered from her fright
she took the weapon from the child,
anda administered remembrance which
will doubtless deter him from another
such exposure of his precious self to
instant annihilation. 1t is almost a
miracle that the child had not killed
itself upon tbs spot, but, strange to
say, not barrel was discharged.

The Old Turnpike.

We hear no more the changing hoof'
And the stage coach rafting by;
For the Steam-King rules the travel worio,
And the old pixies left to de
Ths grape creeps DER the h1nty pain,
And the stealthy daisies steal
Where once the stage-horse, DAY oy day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stager breads
The toll of the coming morn;
No more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn
For the dust lies still upon the road,
And the bright-eyed children play
Where once the Gathering hoof and heel
Ratified along the way.
No more we hear the cracking whip,
And the str ong wheels rumbling sound,
And ah the water drives us on,
And an iron-horse is found
The coach stands rusting in the yard,
The horse has sought the plow,
We have spanned the wosld with an iron rail;
And the Steam King rules us now.
The old turnpike is pike no more;
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made US road for our horse to stride
And we ride at flying rate;
We have filed the valleys and leye1ed the hills,
And tunneled the mountain side,
Aud around the rough cras's dizzy verge
Fearlessly now we ride.
on-on-on with naughty front,
puff, a shrek and boun d;
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To echo back the sound;
And the old pike road Is left lone,
And the stagers seek the plow
We have circled the earth with an iron rah,
And the steam-Ktng rules us nov. n

Congressional Matters.

The Senate has adopted resolution
instructing the Committee on Finance
to examine, during the recess of Con-
gress, the subject of taxation, with a
view to reporting amendments to the
pending bill repeating certain duties,
making large reductions in taxations.
The House has passed bill for the
removal of all legal and political disa-
bilities, excluding only members of
Congress who withdrew from Congress
and aided the rebellion; officers of the
army and navy who sided with the re-
bellion; and members of the state con-
ventions who voted for and signed the
ordinances of secession. The vote stood
yeas 134, nays 46.
The House has passed a resolution
declaring that the true principle of
revenue reform points to the abolition
of the internal revenue system, which
was created as war measure, to pro-
vide for extraordinary expenses, and
| the continuance of which involves the
employment, at cost of millions of
dollars annually, an army of assessors,
collectors, supervisors, detectives, and
other officers previously unknown, and
| requires the repeal at the earliest day
consistent with the maintenance of the
faith and credit of the Government, of
all stamp and other internal taxes and
that properly adjusted rates should be
retained on distilled spirits, tobacco
and malt liquors so long as the legiti-
mate expenses of the Government re-
quire the collection of any sum from
internal taxation. The vote stood
yeas 130, nays 81.
SpeakerBlaine has appointed the fol-
lowing standing committees in the
House:
Committee on Rules-The Speaker,
Messrs. Banks, Garfield, Cox and Ran
dali
On Public Buildings and Grounds
Messrs. Halsey, Starkweather, Tyner
Platt, Morphis, Orr, Getz, Wells and
Perry.
The Senate has passed the House
bill for the suppression of the Ku-Klux
in the south. The vote stood, yeas,
45, nays, 10. The vote was party one,
except that Hill, Robertson, Schurz,
and Upton voted with the Democrats
against it. The following amendments
were added: Extending the time with
in which the President may suspend
the writ to the end of the next regular
session of Congress assessing damages
to persons and property upon localities
in which outrages are committed; to
strike out the clause repeating the test
oath for United States jurors.
Inthe Senate, on Friday, Howe made
personal explanation respecting his
course toward Sumner. He said that
he had indulged in remarks upon the
Senator's course, which were prompted
by the conviction that he was striking
a blow at the Republican party, but he
(Howe) had learned from the Senator's
speech on the Ku-Klux bill that his
sympathy was still with the party, and
he was glad to make the acknowledge
ment. Sumner replied that what he
had said on the subject of San Domin-
go he had said from a conviction of
duty, and because he did not wish the
party to be loaded down with measures
that were injurious to the party and
the country. He had no hostility to
Senator Howe, and no intention of
leaving the Republican party.
During the past week the House was
principally engaged in considering the
Senate amendments to the deficiency

which I returned home and delivered it

which I returned home and delivered it
up to the proper owner in due time
1t was fortunate for me in every way
that | pursued the course I had adopt
ed. It appeared that the money had
been obtained from the bank after bank
hours, in the absence of the teller, from
one of the officers. There were no
loose notes on hand of the larger de-
nomination, but there were sheets of
thousands and five hundreds signed by
the president and cashier. Either two
sheets were picked up in mistake for
one, or the wrong batch of sheets Sc
lected from-that is, thousands were
taken instead of five hundreds. The
notes were hurriedly clipped, strapped
and endorsed "$5, OOO," without re-
counting, and SO enveloped and handed
over to me. The bank had discovered
the error, and no doubt was entertain
ed but that the missing money was
with me. Whether I should have had
the face to withstand the imputation,
even with the apparently undisturbed
condition of the envelope in my favor,
is more than 1 can say, but [ doubt it.
But the notes, in pursuance of pre-
caution still in use in some banks,
were payable to the order of one of the
clerks, and had not been indorsed by
him. could not, therefore, have used
them, or if so, they could have been
traced back to me. 1 found also, that
the numbers had been carefully ascer-
tanned of all had taken with me, and
thus another chance of detection exist
ed. What an escape!
Upon returning and entering the
counting room [ handed the surplus
back to my senior, with feeling some
what of pride, but mixed up with other
feelings not easily described.
My precaution of having the money
opened by the agent IN my presence
was highly commended, and the pos
sibility of his misappropriating the
undue amounts very little personal
knowledge of him was possessed by the
firm was duly discussed. What was
said on this point brought bushes into
my cheeks.
In course Of time my senior account

no telling whether she will marry Mr..
Allison, or the minister, or the grooms-
man, or the sexton, or some of the
spectators.
