WASHINGTON. Fob. 18.-The impatiencs ~ the
House to got mp the Franking bill to-day was
thing ludicrous to see. The bill was the special
order after the morning hour, but there also
three financial bills pending as special orders in
Committee of the Whole on which several members
had prepared speeches which they inpatient
10 delivor Among these the FOrty-four Mill
lion bill. Mr.. WOOdford made earnest appeal In
favor OF laying aside ali Other orders and proceeding
ut once with this BILL saying that the business Of
tho country would continue TO be greatly embar-
rassed until Congress determined the lawful volume
of the currency by taking definite action upon this
measure. He might as well have talked TO a stone
wall The whole body Of new members were bum
ing with desire tO write their undistIngushed names
upon the backs of documents. and not u few of the
old members also longcd for the revival of the dear
old privilege" which formerly enabled them to
supply fow favored constituents with books that
wero vauoloss to read. but very useful for lighting
fires. There was such tremendous shout OF " Yea"
the motion to proceed with the Franking bill
that Mr.. Woodford saw that opposition was useless
The BILL it is fair 20 saw is not nearly bad "a it
might be. and is probably unobectionable rs any
measure could be that provides for the free trans
mission through the mails of books and seeds. Aftor
the packages AFRO franked by the members a special
stamp to DO put IN the office of the Clerk OF the
House or Secretary of the Senate "a the may
be. Tho old provisions Of law permitting the free
exchange of newspapers and tho FREQ Transmission Of
weekly papers within tho county where published
IL revived IA sop 20 the county press To induce II
to indorse the action Of members from tho rural dis
trics in supporting the bill No vote was reached
to-day Robert 5. Halo offered an amendment re-
storing the old ranking privilege entire, and Mr..
Kass0n substitute providing for the distr button
of books and documents on prepayment Of the post
age and cost of printing by tine persons applying Tor
Thorn. The bill Will undoubtedly bo passed. to-Inor-
row or next day.

BEECHER'IS RELIGION.
fEromethe ChicaeHl Tribune.

lFrOmThe lineage lflDune.J
There is altogether too much said Of
t,le harm the Beechcr case is likely to
cluse to Christianity. Beechcr has
prOfesscd to teach Christianity.
Whether Christ, however, would rec.
ognize his teachings in the philosophy
of Beeclier has sometimes been ques-
toned by the orthodox. Certainly
there has sometimes been more OF
Heecllcr than Of Christ in the sermons
delivered in Plymouth Church, Brook
Ign. Most people went to Plymouth
Church as they would 60 to thcater,
not rs they 60 to temple Of the Most
High. They went oftencr to listen to
Becchcr's oraclcs, not to the Orac.cs Of
God. Bccclcr's downfall may, there
fore, he tho downfall OF Plymouth
Church. just as the death of great
actor may be the end of place Of
amusement. The unvciling Of his ny
pocrisy, if he is guilty, can hurt no
ones Christianity but the Christianity
If those whose religion is Beccllerism.
To what sorry condition, in this nine
tecnth century, is Christianity reduced
il the fall of one man can shake it.
Eccchcr's fall does not argue the weak
ness or the sllallOwness of Christianity.
1t proves the depth of Beechcrs n.y.
pocrisy, and it proves nothing more.

MUTUALLY INDIGNANT.

" A writer to tho Portsmouth IN. H.

and the errors into which All honest

resemblance III size and appearance to
the new tifty-cent scrip. A case in
point: On Saturday bought twenty
cents worth ct something somewhere,
and rendered dollar bill III payment.
The storckceper gave me in change
one ten cent and one twenty -five-cent
scrip and one fivc-cent nickel, and,
thinking ] had got two fifty cent scrip
and 4 nickel, thereby being twenty

money in my vest pocket lest the trad

or, when ! found l had only forty cts

NELLIE GRANTS CHILDHOOD.-We
recall the time when General Grant
lived in Galcna, and supported his
family OH 81 200 year. We were
merchandising at the time, and bust
ness made us frequent visitor at the
store where he presided, as well as ac-
quaintcd with the following incident,
which is strictly true and has never
before appeared in print: Among
their near and intimate neighlors was
the family Of a Mr.. f., a wealthy mer-
chant. and both LAYING children there
naturally grew up considerable init
macy between them. One day NeiiIe
was visiting her friends, and remained
to dinner. Mrs. f., a frugal woman,
apol0gized for using napkins fabri-
Gated from a WORKOUT table-cloth, and
said she did not suppose her (Nellie's)
mother would do that. Answered the
Nellie: I'VE don't have

"li"N much do you get:" askl 4 The
King.
..Ei.ht sroscllcn about twenty
cents q day said tho farmer.
THAT IS not much," replied the
king; ..can you get along with 1his!'
.'Gct along. and have something to

..How is tlat:'
'Well, if must tell You, two gros-
chen are for myself and wife; with two
pay my old debts; two l lend away:
and two give away for the Lor.'s
sake.7
"This is a mystery which l cannot

the farmer. IL have two old parents
ut home who kept me when was
weak and needed help; and Pow that
they are weak and need help, keep
them. This is my debt toward which
l pay two groscllen Gay. The third
pair of grosc!len, which 1 lend away,
| spend tor my children, that they
may receive Christian Instruction.
This will come handy to me and my
wife when we get old. With the last
two Groschen l maintain two sick
sisters; whom would not be COMPEL
ed to keep; this | give for the Lords
sake
The king, we'll pleased with his an
swer, said:
''Now will also give You something
to guess. Have you ever seen me be-
turc.'
"Ect,,,' said the farmer.
''In less than fifteen minutes YOU
shall see me fifty times, and carry in
your pockets fifty OF my lillenesses.7
This is a riddle which connot un-

''Thcn Iyill 10 it for .'ou," replied
the king. y
Thrusting his hand into his pocket,
and counting linn fifty ,bran-new gold
pieces into his hand, stamped with
his likeness, he said to the astonished
GARNER. who knew not what was com
ing: '.Thc coin is genuine, for it also
