The Tariff Bill.
The amendatory tariff bill now before the
Committee of Ways and Meaus will probably
be completed tomorrow. 1t relates to about
twenty articles. Some amendments have been
made to the silk section of the present law
All goods, of which silk is the component ma
teriai of chief value irrespective Of classified
ton and previous laws or of their commercial
designation have been classed by the Commit
tee az silk. The Committee change the duty
on all still wine in cases from So to $1.50 and
fix the duty on manufactured steel at two
cents pound without regard to classification,
which is slight reduction. Turin and sugar
beat seeds are to be free of duty, and hops to
paw ten instead of five cents. 1t is thought
the changes proposed will not make any APP
probable difference in the present receipts and
some proposed changes are to simplify parts of
present laws.

The Temnerance nIaxement.

The usual prayer meeting was held at the
rooms of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
| ton yesterday morning, Mr.. Fl. A. Hart in the
| chair. A discussion took place as to what
| should be done to awaken interest in the move
ments in the churches. After some time it was
decided to make the Monday, Wednesday and
Friday prayer meetings permanent thing.
| The district committees had no reports to
make. The subject of prayer was taken up for
| discussion. The movement was said to be a
| praying movement, and any success that we
have must come through earnest, sincere
| prayer.
| 1t was announced that any and all ladies
| that would like to meet at the rooms, with the
men, would be cordially received. After
season Of prayer the meeting adjourned
The ladies held their regular meeting in the
vestry of Chestnut street in the afternoon. The
vestry was so damp and dismal that it cast
| gloom over the whole meeting. There was
| about the same number present as at previous
| meetings.
| A number of committees reported that they
| had visited the homes of many of the liquor
| dealers, but not one signed the pledge. One
lady said that she had visited forty Places
some of them twice. The trouble appears to
| be to get the committees to call the second and
third times. But very few places have been
visited the third time One lady presented
lot of pledges which she had had printed.
They were given to the committees. The
meeting closed with season of prayer.

tain as yet how badly he is injured He COM
planned of his head troubling him last night,
| and his friends fear serious results may follow.

Discovery Underground.

Employees of the Panhandle Rail-
road company have been digging a
we'll at the edge of Alum Creek, for
water supply at the new rouud-house.
Twenty feet below the surface of the
water, the workman found the skele-
ton of an animal, the like of which is
not now to be found. Not knowing the
value Of this remnant of antiquity, the
laborers beat the main body OF the
skeleton to pieces, but an appreciative
gentleman came along in time to save
the bones of the head, which are in an
excellent state of preservation, and not
torn apart. Many of the teeth are still
in their places, though loose. The skel-
eton was found after digging through
six feet of yellow clay and two feet of
blue clay. The blue clay was deposited
in the glacial and iceberg periods, and
scientific gentlemen modestly estimate
the age OF the skeleton at fifty thousand
years, or more. The head is now in
Secretary Klippart's Office. The bones
of the nose indicate that it belonged to
roofing animal, and it is assigned to
the hog family, although it is different
from the heads of porkers of this age of
the world.-lO. s. Journal.

Boy and Chandler's Boy
From Danbury News

The other evening Arnold's boy and
the Chandler boy were sitting in the
kitchen in the dark, telling stories of
Captain Kidd and other Free Traders,
when Arnold senior sang out for the
eleventh time within the last half hour !:
benjamin Franklin, go down stairs
and get that kindling immediately
Chandler's boy had just got to the
part of the story telling how the free
and easy sailor before mentioned used
to mix his grog in a coffin, and slice
small boys for favOring.
Now Ben never fancied going into q
cellar at night, and his fears were in
creased tsn-fold after hearing the weird
romance of the "Bloody Pirate" So
when he heard the suggestive tramp of
the governors boots In the hall, be qui-
city slipped into the closet, leaving
Chandler's boy sitting by the fire.
Arnold senior came in, and seeing
Ben as he supposed, not even stirring
for the cellar, he walked up to him,
and lifted him by the ear.
Easy! Easyp shouted Chandler's
boy in surprise.
'Easy?' shouted the :old man, COM
pletely dumbfounded by Ben's sup
posed audacity: easy and he covered
his presence of mind sufficient to kick
Chandler's boy into the coal-hod and
out of the door before he discovered his
mistake.
Chandler's boy says he is going to
knock the stuffing out of Ben as soon as
the swelling goes down and his north
ear gets the crook out of it.

Gov. Dix Oh the Third Term.

From the Chicago Times.l
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Cooper Insti-
tute was crowded this evening by the
elite of the Republican party of this
city, large number of ladies adding
brilliancy and tone to the gathering by
their presence. The event of the meet
ing was Gov. Dix's speech. Hardly
had he began his remarks when he
came to the subject of the third term,
much to the surprise of all present.
This surprise and interest were very
manifest in the solemn silence which
prevailed when the drift of the speak
er's remarks was caught by the vast
assemblage. The dropping of pin
could be heard after his first allusiOn to
this alI-absorbing political topic. There
was nesting down in the seats, and
it was evident in the minds of all that
what was to follow "meant business"
Old men put their galsses nearer their
eyes, and bent forward, as if eager to
catch every word; young fellows, the
hard-wOrkers, nudged each other in
here-it-comes style; men on the plat
form, most of them feeders at the Ad-
ministration crib, put on an illy-con-
cealed air of Indifference, but worked
Cnelr ears 10 KNOW IL dll. All tIdt pOlul
of his remarks where he referred to the
eminent topic of the Union soldierly,
and asked for them proper recogni-
ton, there were loud and repeated cries
of "How about the third term ?" "Let
US hear about that, General" 1t was
very apparent that this interruption
was unexpected by the speaker as it
was sudden. Old shot-him-On-the-spo
seemed capsized, and hesitated for some
time, but the audience was demonstra-
tive, and urgent in its demand, and,
like the ghosts in Macbeth, the cries
would not down. The speaker straight
ened himself, and, with now-Or-never
air, said, "As the question is now can
didly put to me, j answer it frankly,
lest misconstruction should be put upon
my silence. say then, distinctly, that
am not in favor of the third term"
The effect was electrical. The great
mass rose as a body, and cheered and
applauded the plain, frank answer to
the important conundrum. One gen.
tleman Oh the platform cried out:
"That settles it," "Had Gen. Grant
been present." remarked prominent
Republican to your correspondent after
the meeting, "and heard those words,
he would have known how New York
stands on the third term"
