The Finance Bill Agreed Upon in
Caucus.

THE Payne bill, as adopted by the re-
cent caucus of the Democratic members of
Congress, is as follows:
A BILL to provide for the gradual resumption of
specie payments.
Be IL enacted By the Senate and House of Rep
reSentatiUeS Of the United States of An,erica, in
Congress assembled, That it shall be the duty Of
the Secretary of the Treasury during each and
every year, from ami after July ], 1876, and until
the legal-tender notes of the United States shall
be appreciated to par value with gold and shall
be convertible into coin, to cause to be set aside
and retained in coin an amount equal to three per
cent ofsuch legal tender notes outstanding; and
from the date Of such convertibility as aforesaid,
the amount of coin set aside and retained us
aforesaid shall be held as a resumption fund in
respect to said lega-tender notes. and shall at no
| time be less than thirty per cent of such out
standing legal tender notes. provided, however,
that the coin so set aside and retained as above
provided shall be counted part of the sinkin g

do so, for the little ones were unusually
good, and Mary, after all her kindness,
had taken her departure. But the good
she had done remained behind her. Its
healthy influence was at work in the cot
tage home that November evening
Guardian angels must have drawn near
and brought holy power with theml
Jane Parkins was beginning to see her
faults more clearly; and as the new light
dawned upon her she resolved to guard
against them.
There should be no more gossiping with
neighbors This, she saw, was the foun-
Gation OF her untidy home, and also the
cause of the many quarrels that had taken
bad habit, given up, would leave plenty
of time for keeping her house in order,
and for attending to her duties as wife
and mother.
But where is Tom?" she asks herself
after long and thoughtful pause; "he
certainly ought to be home by this time"
With look of anxiety on her face she
glanced at the large Dutch clock, and saw
that it was half an hour over his time al
ready.
She went to the door and tried to look
down the Row, but the fog that had been
gathering when she let Mary out had be-
come so dense that she could only see a
few yards before her.
Yes, the fog had increased, and walk
ing was most uncomfortable. Along the
crowded thoroughfares people were hast
ening home, cheered by the memory of
the loving faces which would welcome
them at the end of their journey, and
which made home home to them.

How Gas is Made.

THE Marlboro (Mass.) Mirror publishes
a sort of gas catechism, which conveys
good deal of important light" to the ju-
venile mind on this subject:
GLOW do they make gas?'
"First they put some bituminous coal
in long, air-tight retort. This retort IS
heated red hot, when the gas bursts out
like that from Jumps of soft coal when on
the parlor fire. The gas passes off through
the pipes A ton of coal will make 10, 900
cubic feet of gas The gas as it leaves
the coal is very impure"
How do they purify it?'
"First, while hot, it is run off into an
other building, then it is forced through
long, perpendicular pipes, surrounded
with cold water. This cools the gas, when
good deal of tar condenses from it, and
runs down to the bottom of the perpendic-
ular pipes. This tar is the ordinary tar
which you see boiling in the streets for
walks and roofs.
"They now wash the gas. They call it
scrubbing it.
"This is next done by filling large
vessel, which looks like perpendicular
steam boiler, half full of wood, laid cross
wise. Ten thousand streams of cold water
are spurted through the boiler. Through
the mist and rain, and between the wet
sticks of wood, the gas passes, coming out
washed and cleansed. The ammonia con-
densed, joins the water, and falls to the
bottom"
"What next?"
"Well, after it is purified, it is passed
through the big station meter, then
through the mains and pipes, till it reach
es the gas-jet in your room. Then it burns,
while you all scold because it don't burn
better"
