! Uncle Jimmy! Inat a1leCtlonate title
made all at home with him and all
enjoyed his pleasantries.
Many times when wearied by the
monotony Of his store, he would retire
to his room, take down the violin, the
; sound Of which would bring a squad
of urchins into his presence; then he
was in his element All were invited
in and the ball commenced-"Paddy

young hearts being excited by no
greater ambition than fun, frolic and

no one enjoyed this little diversion
more than the fiddler himself 1t
seemed the very nature of this CHEEKY
old man 10 add to every ones happi-
ness, particularly the distressed widow
or orphans.
About the year, 1920, Mr.. Hughes
retired from business and in order to
employ his time and drive dull care
away, commenced larminy few lots
back of town, with his three trustv
colcrcd boys. 1t was quite an anus
ing sight to see Mr. Hughes returning
home after few hours labor bringing
with him these stout, hearty fellows,
imagining because he felt tired, they
also must be tired; and when persons
would tell him these boys We're Young
and could stand work, he would smile
and say-"WcIl, it may be so, but my
rule through life has always been to

CONGRESS.

In the Senate on Wednesday May %,
the outrageous Habeas Corpus Suspen-
sion Act was pa7sed,by vote Of % TO 1j,
supplementary Civil Rights bill, the
Amnesty bill and the Supplementary
Apportionment bill.
Nothing was done in the House.
No business Of general interest was
transacted on the 23I and oath.
The Senate, on Saturday last, by the
requisite two.third5 vote, advised the
President to negotiate an additional
article to the Treaty of Washington on
the basis recently proposed by the Brit
ish government, though in form som e.
what different from it, but not altered
in principle. The President and Secre-
tary Fish were officially advised of the
action of the Senate, aud telegram was
sent by the latter to Minister Schenck
acquaintng him with the facts for the
information Of the British government.
The only action of importance on
Monday was that of the House extend
ing the time for adjournment to June
81.
The Senate on Tuesday last con-
cured in the House resolution to ad.
journ on the Sd of June. The House
rejected the Ku Klux bill, and also the
supplementary Civil Rights bill.

The N. Y, Sun, Republican says of
the investigation into the frauds of the
New York Custom House:
Enough evidence and more than
enough has already been taken in the
Custom House investigation in this city
to prove that one of two things must be
true. Either
/. President Grant has from the first
understood the great frauds and rob.
berries committed by the Custom House
Ring, and its Affiliations, upon the COM
meroe of New York, and has shared in
the fruits of those robberies. Or else
ii. lie has not understood anything
about them, but has been deluded and
imposed upon by his staff officers, crO-
MES and camp followers, who alone
have protited and been enriched by the
large sums of money of which our
merchants have thus been plundered.
If the first hypothesis be true, Presi
dent Grant Is scoundrel.
If the second hypothesis be true,
President Grant Is fool.
Is there any third conclusion which
can possibly bedrawn from the facts do
veloped by the Senate Committee of In.
vestigation and retrenchment? If there
is any such third explanation, will
somebody mention it and state the rea-
sons by which it is supported?
The friends and advocates of General
Grant, without exception, adopt the
second hypothesis. They do not put il
as plainly as we have done, but they
all agree in one way or another in argu.
ing that President Grant is fool.
Which horn of the dilemma will
Grants friends take-rascal or fool /?

The burglars in Memphis, Tenn, do
not seem to have that fear Of the police
which is becoming to people in their
station in life. They broke into the
Office of the chief of the force few nights
ago and plundered it of counterfeit mo-
ney, the pictures of the rogues' gal
lery, a fine assortment of the tools of
their trade, and whatever else in porta.
BILE form they could lay their hands on.
1t seems to be question whether the
police control the burgulars, or the bur-
glars have it all their own way with the
police.

Imnortant for the PeOpIe.

1t is exceedingly important that the
people should keep posted as to the
laws passed from time to time af-
fecting their interests. In this issue of
the paper we refer to number of acts
of the late Legislature which have be-
come laws by the signature of the Gov
ernor. Lawyers, Justices of the Peace
and the people at large will find the
COLUMBIAN Invaluable for this reason,
if for no other. In this article we shall
name a few.
lst. An act to allow all defendants
to be witnesses in their own behalf in
all cases not above the grade Of misde-
meanor, except in indictments for per-
jury and forgery.
End. That all elections for borough
and township officers shall be held at
the places designated before the passage
of the acts of 1869 and 1871, except
where otherwise provided by decree
of the Court or by statute. This act,
for example, will restore the spring
elections to Light Street. .
Sd. The State superintendent is au
thorized to appoint two trustees for each
State Normal School.
4th. Enabling married women to pur
chase sewing machines without the
consent Of their husbands, and maxim
the contract binding.
9th. An act authorizing the Courts tc
grant charters of Incorporation to water
gas, town-hall, and market companies,
and to associations for the preservation
of birds, fish and game.

This is an unfortunate allusion. Judg-

1t Is said that j. Edgar Thompson,
President of the Pennsylvania II. II.
has been threatened with softening of
the brain and has gone to Europe to
avert the calamity. Col. Thos. A. Scott,
Vice President, has been ordered by his
physicians to lessen his labors, or his
life would pay the forfeit. The second
Vice President has already been sent TO
an Insane Asylum. This gigantic
monopoly would seem, therefore, to be
as dangerous to its owners as to the ill.,
terests of the general public.

The Louisville Ledger says that
"there are three political parties In this
country at present-the Democratic,
Radical, and Liberal. The former, by
thousands stronger than either Of the
other two, is asked to hitch on its great
ship to the stern of the latter's tug. boat
and float idly through the campaign"
