81 WAS SICK AND IN Prison, AND HE CAME
UNTO Me. The funeral services at the Allen
Mission Chapel yesterday afternoon were deep
ly interesting and touching. The circumstances
of the conversion in the County Jail and the
imprisonment and pardon of the young man
who had so recently been taken from prison
and kindly cared for by Christian people until
his death, were themes which seemed to inspire
the Rev. Mr.. Luce with increased power to pro-
claim the truths of the Bible. The select piece
''He is not lost, but only gone before" sung by
Christian volunteers, added much to the So
lemnity and profit of the occasion. s.

THE WOOL INTEREST
THE ENGLISH QUESTION.

The Cabinet to-day discussed in an informal
manner the recent reports from England with
reference to the treaty of Washington. The
unanimity of sentiment was to adhere to the
position assumed by our Government relative
to the Alabama claims. At that time the ref
erence to the subject in the Queens speech was
not known. There were through the day many
inquiries in all circles as to the tone of the
speech towards the United States, and general
satisfaction was expressed when it was ascer-
tanned to be friendly. There is no disposition,
however, in any quarter to consent to modifi-
cation Of the position our Government has taken.

| A NIGHT ON A DESoLATE ISLAND IN Snow
SToRM.-On Saturday of last week two men
named Taylor and Coolbroth, residing at Tur-
ner Island, Cape Elizabeth, left home in small
dory in pursuit of sea-fowl Going outside the
| harbor they landed on Ram Island, desolate
| rock, with little grass on it in the summer time
Pulling the boat up out OF the reach OF the
tide, as they supposed, they left their guns and
ammunition in the dory and walked over the
island to ascertain the prospect for sport
| When they got back to the shore the boat was
| gone The rising tide had tioated her and she
| was far beyond reach. Here predicament.
| The day was cold and the sides of the adjacent
| islands showed no signs of life, and no signals
of distress could be seen. Meanwhile it came
ON to snow furiously and the wind was bitter
| cold. They got under the lee of some project
| ing rocks which seemed to break the force of
| the Storm and kept life in themselves by NOV
| ing about. All that terrible night they walked
| to and fro on that desolate rock, and the morn
| ing dawned with no signs of relief. In the af-
| ternoon, when the storm had passed over, Mr..
Smith Hadlock discovered them from his house
on Peaks Island, and he knew that some
| thing was wrong. He put off in his boat and
frost bitten and could not have survived through
| another night Mr. Simon Skillings saw them
from the same island soon after they landed,
and knew their errand, as the island is favor
lite place for sportsman but did not know that
they were deprived of their boat, and allowed
the incident to pass from his mind.

fellow subject. The galleries were crowded,

the amendment the spectators gave loud cheers,
The galleries were closed by order of the Speak

ported the bill and hoped it would pass.
Messrs. Goodrich Stevenson and Shanks
(reps.) supported the bill.
Mr.. Dawes (rep) advocated, not the details, but
the general scope of the bill He wished every
unoccupied acre of public domain were, by this
bill, consecrated for such good and noble pur-
pose. Those who had witnessed the mode in
which the public land had been preyed upon
and spoliated for the last ten years by the ac-
ton of Congress, could not but regret that a
stronger resistance had not been made to such a
system. He himself had voted for lands to the
Pacific railroad, but had resisted all other like
grants. To the charge that the bill was meas
ure of Capitalization, he said there was nothing
that men were SO slow to acknowledge as that
the country was becoming great nation, not
only in name, but everything which goes to
make up nation
The gentleman on the other side attributed
that tendency to political events; but, in his
judgement, it was the result of force hidden
in the very growth and developement of the
nation which nothing could hinder and nothing
could stay. The railroads that traverse the
country, the telegraph that made the man who
spoke in the House speak to the whole country,
the currents of trade running from one end OF
the country to the other all of these made
State lines only imaginary lines The people
are one people, the nation one nation and
events of the last ten years had only precipita
ted the results which was inevitable. He did
not desire to hasten that result, but it was theil
duty to acknowledge the result of those forces
They should see to it that those who had beer
clothed with the ballot in the South, should
have the means of casting ballot intelligently
In conclusion, he quoted that proverb of Solo
mon which says: "There is that scattereth anC
yet increaseth. There is that withholdeth more
than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty"
| The debate was closed by Mr. Perez of Miss.
who defended the bill and its details, and ex
| pressed his conviction that the whole fun(
| would be permitted to go where it was mos
needed to the Southern States.
The first question was ON Mr.. McNeely'
amendment putting printers ink, type meta
and printing paper on the free list.
On objection by Mr.. Hoar, the amendmen
enue which must first be considered in Com
mittee of the Whole.
The vote on the bill and pending amend
ments went over until tomorrow, and tn
House adjourned.
