Congressional Economy.

There is an anecdote of Congress-
man who proclaimed that a rigid sys-
tenn of economy must be practiced, as
the various failures here, there, and
everywhere, had dwarfed the amount
of his annual income. But what am
| to do for party dresses?''1 asks the
anxious wife. .'Leave that matter to
me, my dear, and will arrange it to
your satisfaction, soothingly replied
the legislator. Calling in a reporter,
he set before him a tempting array OF
edibles, with wine enough to send
warmth through his veins, and gener-
GUS throbs to his heart-strings. Snow,

clothed in such gorgeousness as was on
" known to Solomon in all his glory.
Yet her wardrobe was exceedingly cir
cumscribed. OF course, persons present
at the various parties, likewise attended
by Mrs. NJ. c., were amazed at the re-
portorial skill which could, chameleon
like, change her dresses, so consistently
worn, to such varying hues; but the
madam's far distant friends and her
husbands constituents read the descrip-
ton and thought how rich their repre-
sentative had grown and what very
queen of fashion and elegance his wife
had become. And the NJ. G. gloried in
the coup d'etGt which had provided his
wife an elegant outfit for 80 and q din

WOmanly Nerve-A Wife Keeping Guard
Over a Crazy Husband.

Yesterday, says the Brooklyn Eagle,
lady called at the East New York sta
fion and in deep distress told Rounds
man Herbert that her husband had been
acting so strangely ever since the be-
ginning Of the year that she considered
it dangerous to remain in the house
with him. The roundsman sent Officer
Palmer to investigate the matter, and
when he arrived at the lady's residence
he found her husband in an upstairs
apartment. where for minute or two
he conversed with the officer in quite
rational manner. Presently, however,
the conversation and acts OF the unfOr-
tunate gentleman showed him to be in
sane. He told the officer that he wished
him to buy his house in which the in
terview took place, "after which, p" add
ed the mnatic, 81 will set fire to it.,
when | will get the insurance money,
and we can have good time. mean, "
he continued, ''to give employment to
all the poor men in East New York. "
His project for doing this he explained
to the officer. He stated that he would
at once begin to dig canal from Can
arsie Bay TO connect with the Ridge
wood reservoir, and that the streets 'on
either shank were to be paved and
graded. This, he said, would relieve
the suffering that now exists among la
borers. BY urging him to see the au-
ihOrities about having the contract sign
ed for the performance of the work, OF
ficer Palmer got him to the station
/ house. Immediately on arriving there
he went to the wall on which Their
mometer was hanging, and Selling the
! instrument, he dashed it upon the floor
breaking it into fragments. 81 "a --

About 8 O'Clock on the morning OF
the 22d burglar named John Hayden
entered the house of George A. Kent, a
tobacconist on Court Street, in Bing-
hamtof1, My. Kent, hearing a noise,
got1p and found the burglar IN MS ped
room, armed with knife, which Kent
mistook for. q pistol. He told the bur
glar, who was masked, to take what
ever he wanted and 90 away, and to
show that he would not modest him
Kent went back to bed. The burglar
seized watch and chain, and pocket
book containing some money, and went
into the sitting-room, shutting the bed
room door. 9 Kent thereupon pinched
his baby to make 1t cry so that the bur
glar would not hear his movements, and
going to the doorway commenced firing
on the burglar who was standing under
a gas-light in the sitting-room. They
then clinched and Kent fired two more
shots, one OF which took effect in the
muscles of the burglars right arm,
above the elbow, and the other in the
right breast, about ? inches below the
nipple. The last shot took an upward
course, and lodged in the mans side.
The burglar fell with Kent on top OF
him. While Mrs. Kent was gone for
the stove poker to reinforce her hus
band, the burglar freed himself from
Kent's grasp and escaped. He fastened
to the house of John Dunn on Henry
Street, half a mile away, and, repre-
senting that he had been shot and rob
bed by highwaymen, obtained admit
tance, and doctor was sent for to dress
his wounds. The police found the bur
glar at Dunn'S an hour later, and took
him into custody. He is BADLY wounded
and in low condition, and is supposed
to be dying. Hayden had no pistol
but had an accomplice in the house with
him who was armed with a revolver, but
who ran off when Kent began firing

most other objects in nature, he eX-

the thermometer he gets a foot of lon

A Cresus in Congress.

One of the wealthiest of the new men,
beers in Congress is William A. Piper, of
San Francisco, who owns 200 acres of
iand within the city limits, the largest
tractin the possession of single per-
son. He is probable the only man in
Congress of pure Swedish stock, de-
scended from the early settlers on the
Delaware. His mother lived to be one
hundred years old, and died in Franklin
County, Pennsylvania, near Chambers
burg, where Mr.. Piperwas born in 1925.
At the age of fourteen Piper moved to
Kentucky, and thence to St. Louis,
where he picked up the carpenters
trade, until the Mexican war broke out,
when he enlisted in battery and went
off with Donaphan TO chihuahua. Many
years before he had read a speech OF
Daniel Webster declaring that whoever
possessed the Bay of San Francisco
would control the Western ocean, and
his imagination, fired by this speech,
started him to the Pacific coast as
soon as we annexed California. Among
the twelve men who went. at the time
were Anthony, who for a long time
published the Sacramento Union and
controlled the politics of the State, and
Julian, who established another paper
at San Diego. Mr.. Piper became a
house builder and drifted into banking,
and has made a fortune of 81, Zoo, 0O0.
He is bachelor and maintains his
Swedish type of face and mind, so that
he looks us if he might have stepped
out of lrving's Knickerbocker with a
pipe in his hand. He began politics
with the Northerno or Broderick wing of
the California Democracy, and regards
Broderick as the ablest public man who
has yet appeared on the coast. That
wonderful transformation of habits and
character that took Broderick from the
association oflire companies and roughs
to be the temperate, cautions, if tyran-
meal, man of affairs is the theme of all
Californians.-Cor. n. Y. Graphic.
