I do not know what time it was, but
when Mr.. Jones came into the house the
boy heard him. IIe got up. crept down
stairs, and met Mr.. Jones in the Kitchen.
"Sir," said Sam, ~ broke your saw,
and l thought I'd conc and tell you

II should think morning soon enough
to tell of your carclessness. Why do you
come down to-nightf"

Dir. Jones looked at the boy from head
to foot; then stretching out his hand.t
Shake hands; I'll trust you, Sam. That's
right. Go to bed. hoy. Never fear. I'm
glad the saw broke; it shows the lnettle's

Mr.. Jones was fairly won. Never ,seFo
better friends after that than Sam and
he. Sam thinks that justice has not been
done Mr. Jones. Ifthe boys had treated
him honestly and "above board" he would
havo been good man to live with. IT,
was their conduct which soured and ma,lc
him suspicious. I do not know how this
is; only know that Sam Fisher finds in
Mr.. Jones Q kind and faithful master.

We notice that Colonel Atkinson, Of
Cobb County, near Marietta. Ga, has
grove of several acres of common chest
nuts. from which he proposes, SO soon as
the trees come into bearing, to gather the
fruit for market. We have been sur
prised that some progressive man has not
long since commenced the cultivation of
the chestnut rs matter Of profit t-as
the nuts bring from 81 to SO per bushel
in the markets Of the world, and scarce
even at those prices. Land that is
scarcely fit. or too poor for almost any
other purpose, will produce the chestnut
in luxuriance, it seems TO be the home Of
the fruit. We are glad that Colonel
Atkinson has embarked in the enterprise.
and have no doubt of his success.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The day of adj
iOurnment is not certain. 1t is supposed
the Senate viii ask the House to extend the
session at least to Monday. Otherwise the
tariff fails. The House, however, has con-
troll, and should majority refuse or a
majority fibuster, the sessions will close at
noon, Wednesday. The probability is the
House will indulge the Senate.
Sennte.--A bill reported for the payment
of Kentucky war claims was unanimously
adopted.
The Judiciary Committee was discharged
from consideration Of petitions allowing
foreigners to become President, constitu-
tiOnal acknowledgement of God, and eXclu-
sion from Office Of persons addicted to
liquor.
Consideration of the tariff and tax bills
was resumed. Discussion developed the
fact that the Senate is determined to hold
back action on the appropriation bill, thus
compelling the House to prolong its session.
HeuSe.-The Brazilian steamship subsidy
was again discussed, when Mr.. Dawes
moved to suspend the rule and adopt con-
current resolutions, extending this session
till Monday, the third day of June, at
twelve O'Clock.
He said he had no doubt that unless the
session was extended there would be an ex
ira session of Congress, to which there
would be no limitation, and he believed
that the Senate would get through its busi-
ness by Monday next. The resolution was
adopted by a vote of 1873 to "a.
The conference committee on postal ap-
propriations struck out the Brazilian steam
ship subsidy and the b a passed.
Under a suspension of the rules to-day,
induced by a few pungent remarks, Mr.
Morey's bill dividing Louisiana into two
Judicial districts, passed the House by a
twO-thirds vote Mr.. NJ arey thinks the bill
will pass the Senate before the adjourn
ment.
