Tho widow then simply told her tale, and
with such truthfulness, as carried conviction
to the minds of all.
Stlll the Judge decided that the fact could
not be controverted; she had paid the money,
only one OF the owners being present; ana,
consequently, the other was fairly entitled to
be Unidentified for his loss.
And then, up rose the young lawyer, and,
assuring the judge that he bowed to his most
wise decision, he addressed his adversary, who
was now conadento Of success, asking him If he
were quite certain that such was the agree
ment, that the money should only be paid in
the presence of both parties.
He replied, he was ready to swear that such
was one of the conditions OF the agreement.
"Then," said the lawyer, by what right do
You claim to have it paid to you, as your COM
panion is not presentf Produce your friend,
bring him hither into this court, and the
money shall be forthcoming Immediately"
The rogue was thus caught in his own snare,
and the lawyer. turning to the judge, request

Justice were despatched in quest of his COM

without much difficulty, with the leathern bag

friend held her slipped from his hand, and she
passed from his reach in q moment, out into
the current, and commenced drifting away.
My friend became instantly excited, and
showed great anxiety about the boat. His
face flushed, bis eyes dilated, and his move
ments were hurried and disturbed. He ran
here and there in an incoherent manner, and
appeared for some moments to lose all selfpcs
session. At last, catching at small coil OF
me the other end to hold then throwing the
stone with all his strength, it fell into the
boat. Eagerly taking the rope from my hand,
he drew it on until the slack was in. Now
came the moment of suspense. The boat was
moving steadily with the current; should the
stone not obtain q firm anchorage inside, but
release itself and be drawn over the gunwa}e,
the little vessel would float beyond our present
means Of rescue But the expedient proved
successful. The stone held with sufficient ten
acity to overcome the pressure of the current,
and soon the pleasure-boat came floating to
our outstretched hands.

session will, as q matter of course, be devoted
to the appropriation bills which General Gar

The short session is scarcely long enough to
consider and pass them. Everything else will
be set aside in their favor, except the jobs
which fail to find ready place among the
multifarious items which 60 to make up the
annual budget Thus there is danger OF
nothing being done outside Of the appropria-
tions except in the way of jobs, and that the
appropriation bills themselves will be the chief
vehicle of jobbery.
All this brings us to new question, which
we earnestly urge upon the attention OF Con-
gress. These annual appropriation bills are
not only becoming q great nuisance but q
grave danger. AS the country increases in
wealth the expenditures of the government in
crease also, so that in few years it will
require the whole time of Congress to mature
plans for spending the peoples money. Both
houses are fast becoming mere appropriation
committees. Some way out of this difficulty
must be found, and that too. very soon. We
must have an annual budget-luminous, COM
prehensive and exact--which can be disposed
of in as many weeks as the present system re-
quires months The loopholes for the lobby
must be closed and the jobbers be taught that
there is no place for them-in the annual ap-
preparation bills, at least. To give us such
system-wise, statesmanlike and practical
would be the glory of General Grants admin
istration, for it would make the task of run
ming the government comparatively easy and
destroy the chief vehicle of corruption. Till
something Like this is done Congress will not
have time to mature important measures af-
fecting the financial, industrial and CONNER
cial interests of the country We want the
committee of appropriations to be only
check upon the disbursing officers, and not, as
it is fast becoming, the great power of the
country opening the doors to corruption and
closing them to necessary legislation.

Father Burke ON Froude.

The eminent Irish Dominican delivered his
second lecture last night, taking as his subject
'lreland under the Tudors." As in his former
lecture. Father Burke opened his discourse by
an attack on the credibility Of the English his
torian. Taking up Mr.. Froude's description
of Henry the Eighth, and examining it by the
Light Of history, he showed that the quality Of
seeing things as he wished them to be was
such marked Characteristic of Mr.. Froude's
mental organization that we could not safely
accept either his facts or his deductions
from them. Under the skilful dissection
of the Dominican the thin veil which
the English historian had drawn over the
character of Henry was torn to pieces,
and Mr.. Eroude's hero stood revealed the
elegant monster that impartial readers Of
history generally pronounce him. This period
of Irish history is so mixed up with the relig-
ious questions which at the time agitated
Europe that it would have been impossible for
even a secular lecturer to have passed them
without devoting to their eluc;dation q con-
siderable part Of his discourse. 1t is not
therefore to be wondered at that church.
man should have regarded the religious
aspects of the period as more worthy of
minute attention than the strictly political
events which agitated the people. But Father
Burke never once lost sight of his antagonist,
and fact after fact either of q religiousA moral
or political nature, was eloquently stated, sup
ported by the authority of English State
papers or of interested English writer's, which
swept away the statements upon which Mr..
Froude based his arguments in support or JUS
tifcation Of English rule in Ireland. Tho
charge made directly by Mr.. Froude that
'shome rule had been tried under Henry
and had proved miserable failure was shown
to be o very disingenuous argument, based
upon the fact that the government of Ireland
had been entrusted to few Of the Anglo
Norman families, who had always be<n the
deadliest and bitterest enemies of the Celtic
people, and who on this occasion showed they
had changed in nothing by Immediately using
their newly acquired power to make war on
the native Irish. These facts were presented
with great ability and address, but, owing to
the time devoted to the examination of
Froude's reliability AS a historian and
the dissection of the character of the
much-married English King that most in
teresting period Of Irish history, the struggle
against Queen Elizabeth, had to be passed
over with very brief reference. This was
disappointing, as the fight against Elizabeth
was the first trial of strength between the
two peoples that could be dignifed as
national struggle. 1t would have been inter-

Fireproof Baildings-The Only Security
Against Disaster.
The best way to provide against disasters
like the Boston fire is now question of the
greatest interest We print this morning
number of suggestions emanating from differ
ent quarters but all bearing upon the point
so prominently brought forward by this great
calamity. One of the correspondents who
writes to the HERALD suggests calamity
fund.- in the principal cities of the country
another wants our Fire Department supplied
with blankets to smother the flames in case of
fire. and another thinks corps of sappers and
miners necessity. One of these writer's,
assuming what is quite probable, that the
Croton supply would be insufficient in case of
great fire, proposes the necessary machinery
for making the North and East Rivers pour
themselves on the devouring element Other
writers suggest other means of averting like
calamity in New York. In all Of these sugges-
tions there may be the germ of q practicable
idea, though few things appear more gro
tesque or impracticable than wrapping
up block of immense buildings in WOOL
len blankets. After all that can
