ORCHARD OF RUSSIAN APPLE TREES

warranted until they bear fruit of good size and good
quality.
Don't always be having the blues, and talking Of hard
times and signing.
But buy you Taylor and Farley Organ, that every
body is buying;
And buy Domestic Machine for your wife, she wants
one, you know, if you've tried her;
And buy you orchard of the New Russian trees to
raise your own apples and cider.
You don't want to go without music or fruit in this
plentiful land,
And you don't want your wife and your daughters to
do all their sewing by hand;
And the youths who paternity claim, and are some
times inclining to roam
Will often contented remain when they the attrac-
tons of home.
And when you return from your labor and the day has
been weary and long.
Your evening repose will be sweeter If greeted with
music and song.
Then hurrah for the Taylor FarleyI with their music
that swells on the breeze;
And hurrah for the Hardwick Nursery with big apples
on three years old trees.
Hurrah for Mack the inventor of the Light Running
New Style Domestic,
So practical faithful and true powerful grand and
majestic
And hurrah for the patent Green Mountain THAT by
running both forward and back
Takes the Rubber Ball thunder right out OF the Wilcox
and runs them all off from the track.
And may heaven forbid from this hour, that the old
fashioned single-thread trash
Shall be reailed at fifty five dollars to gobble pool
woman's cash.

CONGRESSIONAL CARELEssNEss-S
900 APPROPRIATED FOR THE PREsI-
DENTS SALARY Washington, March
IL. The appropriation bills were bum
gled a good deal in the confusion of the
last hours of the session, and it appears
that in some instances double appropri-
ations were made. Two appropriations
were made for the salary of the Presi-
dent. The usual amount of $4,000
was first inserted, and then when the in
crease was decided on the appropriation
of $4,000 for the purpose was also
made. The President was the first to
notice it, and called the attention of the
Committee on Enrolled Bills to it when
the bill was presented to him for his
signature. He informed the committee
that he should content himself with
drawing the $4,000 and let the S25,-
900 remain IN the treasury; and that
when Congress met in December he
would call its attention to the oversight
and let the S25, 900 be covered back in
to the Treasury. Double appropriations
are also made for other officers of the
Government whose pay was increased

An Incisivc Comparison.

This is the way the leader Of the
woman's reform party movement puts
the cast anew:
"Suppose some one should take q
beautiful thoroughbred horse, with a
slim body and fine rounded form, twist
up its name tightly on the top Of its
head, and fasten to it five pounds of
hair and with fifty hairpins; put u
dozen blankets over and around it so
that it could not step without coming
in contact with them ; put belts around
its body so tight that full breathing
and circulation of the blood are i'm
possible and vital organs are pressed
out of their natural position; and then
take it to the race-course to run beside
4 strong, heavy-built horse, with 10
impeachment but its weight. Then if
he should say: Nonsense! absurd!
that horse is out of its sphere; take it
back to the stable it is only fit to raise
colts would you not say that such 4
man was an idiot or Insane?

to be robbed of one of its most ancient
rights. During Il long and nobly his
toric past it has been the final court OF
appeal for Scotland and Ireland rs
well as for England, For this 90 ahead
age, however, the House of Lords is
found too slow, and a bill is now before

having Tor its object the establishment
of Supreme Legal Tribunal whose
decisions shall be final. Should this
bill pass into law the House of Lords
will cease TO be the final court of ap-
peal in the three kingdoms. The
change is needed, but such a change
must be regarded as another blow at

his case England is following the
