THE BACK PAY GRAB.-The Sergeant-at-
Arms of the House declines to furnish list of
the names of members who have drawn their
back pay. 1t is ascertained however, that the
list of those who have the money still to their
credit on the books is very small. Only one
Pennsylvania member has returned his amount
into the Treasury, viz, Washington Townsend.
Every member of the next House, with one
exception (FOster, of Michigan has drawn his
pay up to the Sd of this month, at the new rate,
which is regarded here as indicating that the
law giving the increase of salary will rot be
repealed next winter.

The INVESTIGATION as to the cause of the
fire in the Navy department was begun this
morning by the examination of the two meu,
engaged in cleaning the furniture In room IL OF
the third floor, whence il is supposed the fire
originated. They denied throwing any of the
cloths, used by them in polishing the wash
stand under it, but admit that they threw their
aprons upon closing work in a corner near the
stand. The evidence was unimportant. 1t is
generally believed by the navy officials and
Acting Chief Engineer Drew, of the Fire de
partment, that the supposed cause of the fire
reported in yesterday STAR is correct The in
vestigation will be sumed and probably closed

We Meet Again.

Tue fat OF Nature il inexorable There
Is no appeal for relief from the great law
which dooms us to dust We flourish and
fade as the leaves of the forest, aud the
flowers that bloom aud wither in day
have no Trailer hold upon life than the
mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth
with his footsteps. Generations of men
will appear and disappear as the grass and
the multitude that throngs the world to-
day will disappear as the footsteps on the
shore. Men seldom think of the great O.
vent Of death until the shadow falls across
their own pathway, hiding from their eyes
the faces of loved ones whose living smile
was the sunlight Of their existence. Death
is the antagonist o life, and the cold thought
of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts.
We DO not want to 90 through the dark
valley, although the dark passage may lead
TO Paradise We do not want to lay down

deep response IN every thoughtful soul. -
