The Next Congress.

After the 4th of March the new adj
ministration will begin business with a
new Congress, in which the Republicans
will have a majority in the Senate and
the Democrats a majority in the House.
In the Senate the old party leaders will
experience no change. Morton, Ed
munds, Conkling, Cameron, Morrill,
(Vermont), Anthony, Sherman and ALI
son, with Blaine transferred from the
House, will remain to lead the Repub-
icans, while Thurman, Bayard, Herman,
with Lamar, Gordon, and others from
the South, will represent the Democratic
party. Among those whose return to the
Senate is yet an open question are Logan
(Illinois), Ferry (Michigan), and Ere
linghuysen (New Jersey. Mr.. Beck, Of
Kentucky, an experienced member OF
the House, will take his place in the
Senate after the 4th of March on the
Democratic side.
In the House the changes will be nu-
merous. Among the experienced Dem
ocratic members viii be Randall, Morri-
son. Cox, Wood, Potter New York;,
Clymer, Eden (Illinois), Springer, Hew-
lit (New York;. Sayler (the present
Speaker), Luttrell California;, Ben Hill,
Proctor Knott, and most of the Southern
men who have been conspicuous during
the last year. The Democrats will ex-
perience the loss of the veteran Holman
(Indiana), and Payne (Ohio), Scott Lord
New York;, and Hancock CTexas).
Among the Republicans OF the new
House will be Ben Butler, Garfield,
Kelley, Banks, Burchard (Illinois), Chit
tenden (New York;, Halo (Maine), Gen.
Cox (Ohiol, and others well known to
the country. 9
Each side will have a fair complement
of it's old leaders, and both parties have
elected number of new men OF cons1d-
cradle reputation for ability. The Lines
will be closely drawn and ably contested.
There will be close voting, and conse-
quently close attendance, and no meas
ures will be likely to pass without the
scrutiny of minority strong enough to
prevent and defeat any dishonest or
questionable scheme or job Chicago

Chinese Superstition.

Western nations can form no concep-
ton of the strength with which the super
stitious ideas of the Chinese are now be-
ing developed. Fashionable circles are
greatly exercised by the doings of the
revived secret society originally founded
for the purpose of cutting off the adored
pig-tails. Although this crusade may
appear iaughable to us, it is q very seri-
Gus matter to the victims. The members
of the society believe that the habit of
wearing long queues tends to efeminacy,
and they began their operations in the
South of China several months ago, ex-
tending them so rapidly to the northern
parts of the empire that the terror has
become general. To allay, if possible.

ANYTHING, but some had a great desire
from that time to own traps as fine as
their neighbors. So they fell to making
I long trips around fields and barnyards,
and some of them never came back, just
as you might expect. Perhaps you re
member how many owls were killed That
winter, and it was all because the one
which carried off Fred's trap wOuldn t
own that he had made a mistake. For
some time this vain old fellow flew about
the woods with grand airs that the young
owls marveled to see. And then he took
to sitting all day long and all night long,
on the same limb of the same tree, star
ing straight before him at nothing at all.
Once his feathers were light and fluffy,
but now they were matted down heavily,
and his eyes grew bigger and bigger
every day and that means good deal
when you talk of an owls eyes. He was
growing wiser, his friends thought, but
his wife said:
SITS killing you taking care of that
trap. I'd throw it away, for my grand
father said owls would keep away from
traps, anyhow"
f" Your grandfather was very foolish
for an owl, my dear, and I've decided to
wear it on my left foot forever"
But he didn't boo-hoo once. He only
looked at noUhing, and his eyes were SO
big that his wife was frightened, and flew
away and found her Oldest son, and told
him never to try to know more than hls
grandfather, for he'd surely die If he
did. $4,000
But the owl didn't die of much wis
dom, nor lame foot, either, and he
lived till the next spring, just after the
snow went off. Tom was out in the
woods cutting poles one day about that
time, and Fred was skipping around IN
the driest places he could find; and,
since he couldn't do anything but talk,
he talked. vol
"Tom," he said, "Tom, whose
souirls is these? They're ours, amt
they? and they're goin' off to Mr.. Ham
Inns lot and carrying our beechnuts wild
'em. Here, you little fellers, you'd bet
ter stay to home. Tom, what do squirls
grow out of? Little kittens wild long
tails to 'em? Tom, what's that noise e
And Tom stopped to listen. Then he
motioned Fred to keep still; then he
quietly took his gun from a stump where
it had been leaning, and pretty soon
something ratified through the branches
of tree and fell not far from the log
Fred was standing Oh.
"Fred, come here" said Tom and
when Fred went to look he saw big
owl lying dead on the ground with a
rusty trap fastened to one OF his feet.
When Fred. understood the facts in
the case his fingers fairly seemed to snap
themselves, and as for his feet, he
couldn't keep them still at all.

ties have decreed that any person found
with scissors in his. hand In acrowd shall
be strangled. At first the Chinese, when
their cherished appendages disappeared,
as if by enchantment, while they were
sleeping in their beds or walking the
streets, believed they were the victims
of some evil genii, but now that the
most ancient sectof pig-tail cutters has
been revived they are sure that some
terrible national calamity is impending.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Do Your Best.


The heart and mind of man and man
Must differ, it il true,
And SO the deed our neighbor does
Perchance we ne'er could do;
And thus, in climbing fortunes helgnt
To reach the fame in store,
IF people only dotheir best,
The world will ask no more.
Does then the little hummingblrd
Its tender song forsake,
Because the nightingate's sweet voice
May softer music make2
Or does the tiny, twinkl1ng star,
Which lends to earth it's light,
Repine because some kindred orb
May chance to burn more bright?
Ar so thro' life we find that some
Are clad in praise and fame,
While others meekly plod along.
With naught TO gid their name;
But when each life is reckon'd up,
Its doings counted DER,
IF we can say, " did my best,
Our God will ask no more.
