Deaths DOings,

Chief Justice Chase died in New York at
the residence of his son-in-law, on last
Wednesday morning. In his death the
nation suffers heavy loss. as he was a
man of marked ability, unspotted purity Of
life, and in all things Christian gentle
man, he won for himself the respect and
confidence of his countrymen. His death
was caused by paralytic stroke. He was
So years Of age.
Hon. Oaks Ames, member of Congress
from Mass, was also struck with paralysis
on Tuesday last and died on Thursday.

vestigation during the late session of Con-
gress.
Hon. JAS. L. ORR, U. S. Minister to

burg on the 5th inst. His death was en-
tirely unexpected, though he had been i'll

A Disguised Legislature.

The Ohio Legislature is disgusted with
the action of the members of Congress
from that State, and goes for them in the
following resolutions, which passed the
House by 60 to 20:
Whereas, The action of the last Con-
gress in increasing the compensation of
members thereof, the President of the U.
States and other officers, was unnecessary,
uncalled for and distasteful to the people
of Ohio and it is believed of the whole
nation, and its repeal is earnestly demand
ed by the people thereof.
Resolved, That our Senators and Rep
resentatives be requested to zealously use
all honorable efforts to procure the repeal
Of said law, or so much of it as relates to
such compensation at the earliest practical
period.
The senate adopted a joint resolution
ratifying the second of the twelve amend
ments to the United States Constitution
submitted by the first Congress in 1889,
providing that no law varying the compen-
sation of members Of Congress shall take
affect until an election for representatives
shall have intervened. The vote stood 20
to 4.

young man entered the West st. Louis
Savings Bank, and presented letter pur-
porting to be from e. d. Randolph & Co.,
bankers, of New York, introducing James
s. Adams, and endorsing a draft for SO, 900

absent, Mr.. Harker, young man, tempo

and thinking them genuine, gave Adams
$4,000, all he desired at the time. When
too late the bank discovered that the letter
and draft were forgeries.

Crime in Kansas.

Importing Gewgaws.

The foreign goods imported into New
York for the week ending March 31st were
estimated at fourteen million dollars. Over
three and half million were dry goods
and less than ten and a-half were general
merchandise. Merchants appear to believe
that Americans can consume and pay for
an unlimited amount of foreign manufac-
lures; but they will probably find the idea
unsound, and that day of severe reckon
ing is not far in the future. Since the
first of January we have exported $13,-
BAT, 31S in gold and silver. This is at the
rate of $53,3s9,272 year. Besides this
there are indefinite thousands of prosper
GUS citizens of the United States in Europe
spending American gold. There are no
statistics showing the amount of this drain
on our precious metals but it is higher in
millions than even well-informed man
would be likely to believe.

Six Persons Poisoned.

John Gephart, residing in Showers alley,
between Susquehanna and Nagle streets,
purchased some apple butter at market on
Sunday last, and shortly after commencing
to use it, the family, consisting of Mr.
Gephart, and wife and three children, and
Frederick Harwick, boarder, were seized
with severe pains, the result of CASTRO en-
teric defamation. DR.. III. l.. Stickel was
summoned, who investigated the matter ;
and from what we can learn, the result
has been from eating apple-butter, that
was purchased by Mr.. G., at market.
One of Gephart's little girls, who did not
eat any of the apple-butter, manifested no
symptoms of poisoning, and this led to at
tributing their symptoms to poisoning from
the glazing Of the crooks in which the ap-
ple-butter had been kept. They are all
pronounced as being out of danger, except
Mr.. Harwick, whose symptoms were from
the first of a very aggravated character.

Rough on /" Three Cent? Butler.

Rev. James +. Clark of Boston says :
GA little paragraph has been going the
rounds saying have proposed Gen. B. F.
Butler as Governor of Massachusetts. l
have only referred to him once, and that
was in sermon preached in Boston on
Fast Day, on The Humiliation of Mas
sachusetts, in which spoke of the dis
grace which had come upon Massachusetts,
from her treatment of Charles Sumner, the
connection of her members of Congress
with the Credit Mobilier scandal, and their
completely with the salary grab. l then
added that it was understood that q men,
ber from Massachusetts, who headed the
foray on the Treasury, had announced his
intention to be the next Governor of Mas
sachusetts. If he succeeded in this, l said
hoped he would not omit the word humil-
iation in his proclamation, for certainly
Massachusetts, would never be more humil-
lated than by such an event. If Gen. Butler
and his friends regard this as a nomination,
they are welcome to it,"

The Modoc Description Of the Lava

Capt. Hendley, of Washington, has re-
ceived letter dated Lava Beds, April 90,
in which the writer says: have just

which drove the Indians out 5000 infantry

out the loss of one-half of the commands.
Words cannot describe the character of
these beds. Newspaper reporters may try
to do it, but they cannot convey an idea.
Since that fight have been through part
of the bed, and that was enough for me. 1t
is impossible to tell what damage we have
done to the Indians, as they concealed or
burned their dead, and the former is very
easy, as all they have to do is merely to
throw the bodies into crevice, and then
fill it up with rocks. We have, however,
found eleven bodies. The beds are full of
caves, and many undoubtedly are hid
away as every once and a while stray
shot comes out, but the majority have got
out, and there is no telling where they will
turn up. Our cavalry have gone out on
pursuit. We have six dead here, twenty
wounded, and about one half of the latter
number on crutches from sprained ankles,
from falling over rocks. To give you some
faint idea Of the sharp rocks, one half Of

WOmen.-A women always looks young
er in light print or cambria of simple pat
tern. Something of girl-hood and spring
are suggested by them, and yet they are as
available by the matron as by sweet six
teen. A charming young wife once con-
fessed her penchant for these inexpensive
toilets, "for," she said, in closing, "gen-
tlemen like them so WE'LL" They show
very good taste in liking them, as the best
of the feminine sex have found out already.
English and French women wear cottons
in summer alternately with silks, and a
most captivating effect does the latter
know how to make, with her marvelously
fresh cambria, ruffled like spring flower,
little chip hat, and broad parasol, with the
incest and the plainest of boots, and perfect
gloves 1t is girlish purity and womanly
grace combined that makes the charm of
such dress. There are stripes many and
colors many, but the simplest are always
best.
A great variety of these pretty Spring
prints can be found at F. MoRTMER's.

A very large number of persons, old and
young, suffer, in health from inhaling coal
gases in city and country during the winter
months. Whenever the slightest odor is
perceived in dwelling, instant vigilance
should be exercised, and the cause removed
at once. 1t is a bad plan to put coal upon
afre in furnace or stove, just before retiring
at night. The gaseous products, especially
the sulphurous acid, are more copious for an
hour or two afterwards. and consequently
more dangerous. 1t should be rule in
every family, that some trusty person should
examine the heating apparatus carefully be-
fore retiring each night. In dull, damp,
moderate weather, the danger is grea ter, and
the supervision should be more thorough

Oh, what q wondrous, unread scroll
The tbrobbing, human heart;
What love and anguish DER 1t roll
If known, but known in part.
We meet each other day by day,
We look into each Others eyes
We hear the words that each may say
With griet, with pleasure or srrprise.
And that is all vouchsafe0 us now
The thoughts we meier discern;
That cares that cloud the borrowing brow,
The greis that inly burn.
Lives closely twined within our own,
Watched fondly day by day,
Live oft life apart, unknown
Live, love and pass away.
oh, what barrier there lies
Between each living soul
Unfathomed are the mysteries
That life's deep springs control.
