THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.

A lively scrimmage between the Sen
ate and the House took place at the
close of the session, relative to the cut
ting down Of the Presidents salary to
the old figure Of s2s. 900 per annum.
which resulted in signal victory for
the Senate.
Four years ago. Congress. upon the
OCCASION Of Gen Grants entry upon his
second term. voted an increase Of 100
per cent, on the Presidents salary, rails
ing it from SIS COO to $4,000 year.
Last year. as part Of the ante-election
retrenchment programme, this WAS re-
duced to the old figure again, but Gen.
Grant naturally asserted his privilege
In the case and vetoed the bill.
The Democratic House. however.
has maintained its struggle over
the point, and in the Legislative and
governmental appropriation bill drawn
up for the current year. tho item OF the
Presidents salary was fixed at 1000.
The Senate amended to $4,000. The
House by an overwhelming majority
refused to concur, and the bill went to
. committee Of conference. BE-. the
Senatorial party in the committee were
firm - sdamant. and at the last mo
ment. the House. to avoid worse dead
lock than tina. of last July, with many
wry faces, were forced to recede from
their disagreement. aud the bill went
through as amended. President Hayes,
therefore. tfor the first year, at least. and
probably through the term. will draw
the same salary as his predecessor.

a Russian Story.

The Russian princes in Paris are all men of
large incomes, but generally spendthritts.
One ut them borrowed the sum of ten thou
sand francs from money lender, giving his
note for the same. On the day it fell due the
holder presented it for payment, and was told
by the prince that he had no money to waste
in paying debts At the same moment a gen
teman entered, and the prince handed him
twenty thousand francs to meet the losses OF
the night before at the club The lender tore
up his note of hand, and said when going
out: "Now, prince, there is nothing between
US but a debt of honor" The prince bowed
and handed over the money without a word
The second begins in the same way, but when
the lender presented his note the prince flew
in passion, called him hare names, and,
drawing a revolver, made him eat the note of
hand A few days later the lender received
his money, with a thousand franc bill thrown
IN as interest. Shortly aiterward the lender
received a letter from the prince, telling HIM
he was again in want of money, and telling
HIM to present himself with 10000 francs and
stamped paper upon which to write his infer
nal notes of hand. The lender came with the
money. Here it Is, PRINCE" said the lender,
drawing large cake of ginger bread from his
pocket The prince laughed at the joke and
shortly afterward paid the debt with interest

that while IN Scotland last year he purchased

liquor, which he brought home as baggage
Finding that he had little too much of the
article on hand for family medicinal purpos

Willard Hotel in Washington, to exchange
about thirty gallons Of the imported fire wa

proprietor said all right, and the trade was
contaminated Then 1t was that the fun he.
gan. The non.secretive hotel man told his
bartender about the trade the bartender con-

Old jim Baldwin was inspector of the mar
ket at Dayton, Ohio, for many years, but he
laboied under the disadvantage of being very
hard of hearing, and like many men similarly
afflicted, he was exceedingly sensitive in re-
gard to his deafness. John Duwey was the
pest Of his life, and he was constantly getting
off some joke at the old fellows experse. One
spring morning about O'Clock, John saw
jim on the other side Of the street; he ran out
into the road ana commenced working his
mouth as If he was yelling at the top of his
voice, but at the same time not uttering a
sound. Old Jim saw him and came running,
and says he, What the h are you yelling
tor? I'm not deaf"
1t does John good yet to tell the joke
