"there was centipede on her bed" The
gas was at the time turned down quite
low, but the men could see the insect on
the bed, and doubling towel several
times, one of them cast it over the cent?

escape. One Of the gentlemen was some

ardently to preserve the centipede as a
specimen. Accordingly, the captured in

store. The druggist poured chloroform on
the towel to stupefy the creature and to
prevent the possibility of its escape, and
one of the clerks stood by with an uplifted
club, to strike it should it attempt to get
off. The towel was opened, and the ex-
pectant lockers on, were astonished to find
that all the fuss had been made over a
little strip of calico.

MR. DA YVES ON THE FINANCES.


The tax bill came up in the House yester'
lay, and Mr.. Dawes opened the debate in
IN elaborate speech on the present financial
condition of the Government. Constan,
study and research had supplied him with
all the data for making clear exposition
Of the subject in hand, and in consequence
IN exhaustive array of facts were presented
10 the House. During the course of his
speech, Mr.. Dawes needed little rhetorical
establishment, but aimed to clearly exem-
pllfy the condition of the Treasury and the
eauses of its depletion; but he did not pro-
pose any method for the revival of prosper
ty beyond the return to an economical ex-
penditure of public money and general re
form in the Governmental service. he
stated, however, that only two methods
presented themselves-one an increase OF
taxation, the other the mourning of addi-
honal obligations by borrowing money in
The markets of the world. In accounting
hr the embarrassment now prevalent, he
relieved the executive branch of the Gov
srnment from all blame, and ascribed it to
The law making power, which has been too
prolific in money bills, leaving no option
with Cabinet officers but the expenditure of
he sums legally placed at their disposal.
During the delivery of the speech the men,
bers gathered around his desk, and although
nearly three hours were consumed in the
presentation of the varied information
gathered, the attention was undivided until
ne had concluded. 1t is rarely the case

A NEW YORK DISPATCH to our bright even

James Gordon Bennett has given thirty thou.
sand dollars toward the establishment of soup
houses for the poor of that city. The suffering
among the working classes of the commercial
metropolis seems to be very great. Thousands
of poor clerks, male and female, and of me-
chanics are out of employment, with no imme-
diate prospects Of work. Mr.. Bennett has set
a noble example to the wealthy men of New
York, which, it is to be hoped, they will not be
low to initiate.

"ALL QUIET 4LoNG THE lPo-
TOMAC TONIGHT" -

The original of the following poetic gem was
found in the pocket of a soldier of the southern
army who died in camp on the Potomac during oul
civil war, and was subsequently pubifshed very ex
tensvely in the journals ofvboh tie south and the
north: ssss
|" All quiet along the Potsmae, they say
Except now and then stray picket
Is shot as he walks bis beat 10 and fro,
By rifeman hid in the thieket."
Tis nothing; private or two, now and then,
Will not count in the news of battle;
Not an officer lost-only one of the men
Moaning alone al alone the death rattle.
All quiet along the Potomac Tonight,
Where the soldier is peacefully dreaming
Their tents in the rays of the clear autumn moon,
Or the light of the watchfres are cleaning.
A tremulors sigh as the gentle night wind
Thro' the forest leaves slowly is creeping
While the stars up above, with their glitering eyes,
Keep guard-for the army is sleeping.
There's only the sound of the lone sentrys tread,
As he tramps from the rock to the fountain,
Thinking of the two on the low tfundle bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain;
His gun falls slack-his face, dark and grim,
CLOVIS gently with memories tender,
AS he mutters prayer for the children asleep
For the mother, may heaven defend her.
The moon seems to shine as brightly as then,
That night when the love yet unspoken
We're pledged, to be ever unbroken; es&
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes,
He dashes off tears that are yelling,
And gathers his gun up to its place,
As if to keep down the heart swelling.
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree,
The fOotst pis tagging and weary,
Yet onward he goes through the broad belt of light,
Toward the shades of forest so dreary.
Hark Was it the wind that rusted the leaves?
Was it the moonlight so wondrously flashing?
1t looked like a rifle" Ha! Mary good bye"
And the Efe-blood is ebbing and splsshing.
All quiet along thePoto mac tonight, a#.
No sound the rush of the river,
While soft falls the dew on the face Of the dead
The pickets off duty forever!

were not many white men around Green
Bay, Wis, at that time. Five was a
crowd, and dozen n convention. There
were several at Kaukaulo (now called
Kaukauna) one day in that year. A blue
bird was observed in the dim dis ance
TO fly and alight. Col. Tullar, Of Green
Bay, expressed the opinion that he could
shoot it. The idea seemed ridiculous,
but the Colonel picked mp Kentucky
yiae about six feet long and blaz9d
awav and the bird fell. An investiga-
tion proved that the bird was shot in
the head, and that the distance was
about mile and aquarter. The Colonel
was a good shot, but this triumph was n
mere accident. George w. Lave kept
a house at that point, and it was hero
where the feat bad been performed. An
Indian stood there, clad solely in n
breech- -clout, and when the result was
made known the Indian privately in

He answered, Fright between tho

off his sole article Of dress and laid IL ON

Rarbarous Nomenclature.

Charles Nordhoff writes in Harper's

gin to be assailed by the most barba-
rous names imaginable. On your way
to Olympia by rail, you cross a river
called the Shookum- Chuck; your train
stops at places named Newaukum, Tum-
water, and Toutle; and If you seek fur
ther you will hear of whole counties Ia
beled Wehkiakum, or Snohomish, or
Kitsar. or Klikatat and Cowlitz, Hoo
kium, and Nenolelops greet and offend
you. They complain in Olympia that
Washington territory gets but little i'm
migration but what wonder? What
man, having the whole American conti-
nent to choose from, would willingly
date his letters from the county of Sno-
homish, or bring up his children in the
city of Nenolelops ? The village Of
Tumwater is, as l am ready to bear wit
ness, very pretty indeed but surely an
emierant would think twice before he
established himself either there or at
Toutle. Seattle is sufficiently barba-
rous Stelicoom is no better; and sus-
pect that the Northern Pacific railroad

cause it is one of the few places on Pu-
