SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVENTION.
ReDOrfs from Tennessee and the In
dian Country.

REPORTS from Tennessee and the In
dian Country.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 1S.-The
morning session was occupied with reports
from the different States. Those from
Tennessee and Indian Territory were par
ticularly encouraging. Two of the five In
dian Nations were reported as being organ
lied for the Sunday-schOol work, and ar
rangements are being made for organizing
the remaining three during the present
year.
The brother making the report, said he
wished to remove an erroneous impression
that the Indians of the five nations were
savages. The facts are that the Indians of
these tribes are more civilized than many
sections of the country where the whites
have sole control.
National Bible Lessons.
The regular order of the day, National
series of Sabbath-schOOl lessons, was then
opened by B. T. Jacobs of Chicago, in half
hours speech. Mr.. Jacobs made astrOng
impression in favor of the series and offered
the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the Convention appoint
a committee consisting of five clergymen
and five laymen to select a course Of Bible
lessons for a series of years not exceeding
seven, which shall embrace a study Of the
whole Bible, alternating between the old
Testament and the new, semi-annualy and
quarterly, and that the Convention recon-
mend the adoption OF the same to the whole
country"
Several speakers addressed the conven-
ton, heartily approving the resolutions and
advocating their passage. Interest on tie
subject was so general, it was resolved to
continue the discussion of the subject. The
resolution of Mr.. Jacobs was adopted by
an overwhelming majority, and the chair
man was instructed to appoint committee
of five to investigate and report in the
morning as to who should compose said
committee.
At the evening sessions double meeting
was held and both Houses crowded. The
snbiect was "The Sowing" An interesting
discussion of the methods of work was par
ticipated in by number Of prominent men
of the convention in short but eloquent adj
dresses. After singing and benediction the
convention adjourned. The convention
will adjourn tomorrow afternoon.

More Trouble with Alabama Treaty.
CANADA.
A Flshx Family Quarrel.

EAshy Family Quarrel.
OTTAWA, April 1S.-The fishery cores
pondence to be laid before Parliament to-
day will disclose that the Dominion gov
ernment notified the Imperial government
that Canada would not assent to any sale
ofthe fisheries without her consent, and that
Great Britain replied that her Majesty's
Government never had any such intention;
that as the negotiations for the treaty of
Washington proceeded, the Canadian gov
ernment urged the including of the Fenian
claims, and also the obtaining of COM
mercial trade advantages in return
for the temporary use of the fisheries by
the Americans. On these views not being
included in the treaty the Canadian Gov
ernment strongly demonstrated and after
the treaty was concluded the British Gov
ernment appealed to the Canadian Govern
ment to carry out the treaty in the interest
Of the Empire, and to allow Americans to
fish in Canadian waters. The Canadian
Government declined to grant this latter
proposition and placed on record their dis
approval of the terms of the treaty as re-
garded fisheries and the Fenian claims
The British Government rejoined and
eventually the Canadian Government pro-
posed that in lieu of the Fenian claims
against Great Britain and to meet the
anxious desire of the British Government
they would be ready to submit the
treaty for the favorable consideration.
of the Canadian Parliament, provided the
British Government would guarantee a
Canadian loan for four millions sterling to
be applied to the construction of the great
Canadian Pacific Railway and the extension
Of the canal system. The British Govern
ment replied, offering to guarantee two mil
lions and half, and the Canadian Govern
ment accepted the counter proposal in view
of the vast imperial and Canadian interest
involved and in view of the importance of
the association of the British Government
with the Canadian Government in the con-
structiOn of the Pacific Railway and Canal.

A Night in the Commons.
FRANCE.
The Impending Crisis.


LONDON, April 1S.-The daily Teleqrdph
in an editorial article this morning, asserts
in decided terms that its statements made
few days since relating to the precarious
condition of the relations of France and
Germany were founded upon undeniable
facts The Telegraph says:
. "We deem it our duty to declare the GER
tain and solemn fact that upon President
Theirs decision this week depends the fate
of France. We are not speaking rhetori-
cally. We measure anxiously these most
grave and mOmentOus words.
"0n Monday Count Van Armin, the Ger
man ambassador to France, carried an ulti-
matum to Thiers. The purport of this
ultimatum is that Germany sees in the
French army bill and the speeches of Thiers
menaces of Vengence and programme for
the eventual reputation by France of her
Indebtedness to Germany. Bismarck there
fore demands that the ornaments of France
be reduced and the war estimates diminish
ed or the alternative will be the re-occu-
patton by the German troops of the evacu-
ated French territory, and war if necessary"

Reconstruction.
LONDON, April 1S.-Bismarck has sent
an ultimatum that the French army be
forthwith reduced to 225,000 men. He
hints that in case of a refusal it will be
necessary for Germany to establish a
French Government which Germany can
trust.
Again.
The reports ofthe Daily Telegraph about
grave complications between Germany and
France are absolutely discredited at both
Berlin and Versailles.
Mr.. Gladstone replied to the question on
the subject from Mr.. Hoar in the House Of
Commons that the government had re-
ceived no information confrmatory Of the
statement in the Telegraph.

CONNECTICUT.
The BOrgIan Trial.

NEW HAVEN, April 18.-Phe trial Of
Mrs. Sherman for poisoning her husband
was continued yesterday. The court ruled
out the evidence as to the previous poison
ing by the prisoner. A son of the deceased
testified as to the condition of his father
during his last illness, and said the deceased
had never suffered from such spasms before
as he was then affected with. He also said
there was some trouble between his father
and mother and that they did not occupy
the same room. DR.. Pinney testified that
he attended the deceased at the time of his
death and found him suffering all the symp-
toms of arsenic poisoning. The case, which
excites great interest, will be continued to-
day.
During the trial of Lydia Sherman, TO-
day, charged with poisoning her husband
the mother, Mrs. Sherman, testified. HeI
testimony was damaging to the defense,
She noticed that after the deceased had
drank cup of tea which the prisoner had
prepared and given him, he was seized with
an intense burning in the stomach, and
then tainted.
G. Fl. Peck, of Birmingham, produced q
sensation by testitying that Mrs. Sherman
bought arsenic at his store two or three
weeks before Sherman died. She said she
wanted it to kill rats with.

AN OREGON ROMANCE.
How an Irish Woman Won n Good
Husband.
From the Portland Bulletin.

From the Portland Bulletin.
There were married in this city last
evening a couple whose loVe-making and
marriage furnish us a theme upon which to
write a romance; but as we are not novel
writing at present we shall narrate the
story as it comes to us, plainly and concise
ly, leaving to some other one the task of
writing the history for publication in book
form:
During the spring of last year there ap-
peared upon the railroad q fair haired,
smooth-faced muscular fellow, with a rich
Irish brogue, who applied for work, express
ing himself as willing to do anything. He
had san Ould father and mother in the
ould country that he wanted to help to
America, and was willing to work hard for
good wages" He was given pick and a
shovel and told to pitch in, which he did
with will. Although he was a little awk-
ward at first, he soon mastered the science of
handling the shovel, and came to be re-
garded as one of the best men on the work.
He hand a pleasant voice, told a good story,
and made many friends among the other
workmen, who regarded him with especial
favor. After a while Mr.. Hallett, the con-
tractor, had his attention called to the new
hand, and, finding him quick at learning,
gave him command OF a gang Of men, and
found that his confidence was not mis-
placed.
In the same camp was another foreman
who was as 1.-the and active young fellow
as can be found in any part of the country.
Between the two a warm friendship sprang
up, and when not at work they were always
together. The other men became some
what jealous of Mike for occupying so
much of Jimmy's company and drawing
him away from their company, but Of
course could not say anything.
The summer passed away and the winter
months, with their rain, came, and when
work got slack and men began to drop of
and come into the city, Mike proposed tC
Jimmy to go to Portland, take a room and
live until spring. The proposition, how
ever, was rejected by Jimmy, who declared
that he did not want to come to the city.
So the two remained at Eugene for several
weeks, awaiting for the recommencement
Of the work.
Somehow OF other during the winter,
Mike made discOvery-that Jimmy was
not what be represented himself to be.
That instead of being man he was a wO-
man. An explanation was made and Mike s
feelings soon underwent change, and he
found that Cupid had pierced his heart. He
proposed to Jimmy to come to the city,
where she would receive her proper habili-
meuts, ard then they would form partner
ship for life and in proper time return to
work on the road as sub-Contractors.
The proposition was agreed to, and last
night saw Mike and Jimmy made man and
wife. They have purchased a tent and
gone down to Cowiltz river for the purpose
of assisting in the building of the North
Pacific Railroad from Humphreys to Olym-
pia. During the coming summer "Jimmy'
will preside over the culinary department.,
unless Mike should get sick, when, she
declares she will go out and "boss" the
men.

HOUSE.
An International Tunnel.

An Int national Tunnel.
A bill passed, permitting tunneling Nj
agara river for the Buffalo water works.
The Utah Railroad.
The bill incorporating the Great Salt
Lake and Colorado railroad, and granting
the right of way through the public lands
came up, and the main question was or
dered.
There was considerable debate, during
which Mr.. Clossett, of Montana, supported
the bill as one which will result in enabling
others beside the Mormons to obtain foot
hold in Utah. He said the Utah Legisla-
ture granted every foot of land and every
valuable right and franchise in Utah to the
MOrmOnS.
Mr.. Hooper denied the assertions of Mr..
Clossett and defended the MOrnons as en-
terprising, industrious and patriotic.
An angry alteration between Messrs.
Clossett and Hooper ensued.
Mr.. Hooper, of Massachusetts,, desired to
say that he did not concur with delegate
HOoper's admiration of the women and in
stitutions of Utah, in order that the latter's
speech might not be attributed to him.
[Laughter.1
The bill then passed.
The civil service reform bill was taken up.
Civil Service Bill.
Mr.. Lynch offered a substitute for the
bill requiring all recommendations for ap-
pointmens to or dismissal from Office to be
made in writing, stating the reasons there
for, such recommendations to be regarded
as official, and be at all times open TO the in
spection of members of Congress. He pro-
ceeded to address the House in support Of
his proposition.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts,, moved to
recommit the bill.
Without voting on this motion or any of
the pending amendments the House ad-
iOurned.

NOVEL VIEWS.

To the Union and American:
A writer in morning paper signing him
self "Ex- Confed High Private, entertains
us with some novel views Of matters and
things. For instance:
awe all know that Tennessee occupies a
rare geographical position in the UEion, has
a most excellent climate and soil, and
should naturally invite population and
wealth. And yet, in the streets Of her cities
business is stagnant. OF One-half Of her
tillable land is under cultivation. Her young
men are every day leaving her borders for
the great West. And yet we know that
thousands of able-bOdied, brave-hearted
men are landing at our seaport cities daily,
seeking occupation in the new world. They
too 90 out TO the great West. Why do they
90 there and refuse to come here? There
must be a reason. 1t is to be found in the
fact of Democratic organization"
This is certainly a most wonderful dis
coVery, and it is great pity that its pro-
mitigation has been so long withheld from
a benighted people. In decades past, we
were told that slavery was our great draw
back, and on the same principle we might
suppose that white laborers and mechanics
are still unwilling to come in competition
Wild Ir6Gulu6U. IN LIlbS0 ldI6E years We
might suppose that Radical Ku-Blux stories
had some effect in deterring immigration;
and we ali know that, without regard to
slavery or politics, the immigrant agents
who swarm Castle Garden have for years
chimed in chorus that our Southern climate
was unhealthy for whites and that negroes
alone could labor under our 'brOiling
skies" But all these explanations vanish
before our High Private's Democratic bug
bear.
This same correspondent says the Dem
ocracy has "robbed him of four years of his
manhood; and impoverished the South"
and owing to it ''for seven years since the
war commerce and business of all kinds
has languished." This is not so novel; but
the tale is not half told. The Democracy
caused the sacrifice of a million lives; if
robbed the South of two thousand millions
ofslave property; it saddled the nation with
a debt Of three thousand millions. We
have heard the story before; we have heard
it in the halls of Congress. But we heard
it only in the mouths of Radicals. 1t was
their answer to Democratic demands for
reform, and for the relief of the people
from oppressive taxation.
Very respectfully,
ORIGINAL UNIONIST.

IT will be remembered that the most ter
rible satirist who ever made human nature
the mark of his scorn, represented state
of existence in which horses were the supe-
rior beings and men degraded to Yahoos,
the most repulsive of human Creatures
An Illustration of the partial truth of this
satire was seen in the streets OF Dubuque,
Iowa, the other day. a man in state of
intoxication was leading horse. The an
imal watched his master closely, and when
he staggered almost to falling, would catch
him by the coat collar and hold him up.
Once or twice the man fell and was helped
up by his superior being. By extreme
care and watchfulness, the horse succeeded
in Getting his master home safely.
