A Senatorial Joke.

An amusing incident occurred in the
Senate over the appropriation for the
School of Mines senator Seay had set
his heart on securing an increase of Sl0,-
900 for that institution, and had been
bending all his energies to the accom-
plishment of that end. Realizing his
anxiety about the matter, Senators
Young, Mayor, Parish, Wilson, and 9TH
ers, quietly slipped around the cham
Der and made arrangements with all the
Senators to vote '.no' on the first vote
taken on Seay's amendment to add &c.
600 to the appropriation for his pet.
Seay made Il really good speech in be-
half of his amendment. and sat down TO
tremblingly await the result.
Those in favor of the amendment
offered by the Senator from Phelps will
say ave. said Senator Phelan. who oc-
cupied the chair.
"Aye," rang out Seay's voice, soli-
tary and alone.
..Those who are opposed say no.
said the Chair.
"No-o-o,r responded the entire Sem
ate in chorus.
A deadly pallor overspread Seay's face
rs he sank back in his chair with sad
realization that his cherished dream had
fled
1.-The noes appear to have it," said
Phelan.
Division, divisioni'' came up from
all parts of the chamber.
"Those in favor of the amendment
will rise and stand until they are count
ed said the Chair, and up stood every
Senator except Seay, who had not yet
sufficiently recovered from the shock
to have strength enough to rise to his
feet.
GLOW does the Senator from Phelps
vote?" innocently inquired the Chair.
Why-why-of curse | vote aye,
Mr.. President y said Seay, in a bewil-
dered sort of way, as if he could scarce
" believe the evidence of his own senses
at the sudden turn of affairs.
1.-The ayes have it, and the amend
ment is adopted" announce the Chair
Never was there more forcible illus
tration of the darkness of midnight, rs
it We're, in the twinkling of an eye con-
verted into the glorious light afforded
by the splendor of the MONDAY sun, than
Seay's features exhibited at this moment
The painful sadness of the moment be-
fore gave way to smile which seemed
to illuminate the whole chamber There
was then big laugh at the Senator's
expense.-.St Louis Republican.

A Rough Ride.

Otto Mears returned from his trip to
the Los Pinos Agency and Ouray on
Tuesday. He started from Saguache on
the 9Th of February, with ten four-horse
teams, loaded with freight, part for the
Government and part for his store at the
Agency. He was eight days going tn
the Gunnison, and twenty-eight days
from the Gunnisolf to the Agency, a dis
lance of fifty-five miles. From the mid
die cabin to the Gunnison divide, dis
lance OF four miles. took fifteen days, on
account of the depth of the snow, which
was from five to ten feet deep, through
which ii was necessary to shovel most of
the way, and constant storms of wind
an1 snow filed up the road about rs
fast as shoveled out; eight of the ten
wagons were upset, and one unfortunate
wagon turned over five times. Upon
his arrival at the Agency he found about
1900 Indians awaiting his arrival, anx
ious to receive their blankets and other
supplies. OF the fifty-five miles between
the Lake Fork of the Gunnison and the
Agency he found snow only upon fifteen,
and there he thinks there would be no
trouble in keeping the road open if there
was sufficient travel to keep the snow
packed.-Saguache (Coi.) Chronicle.

Was it Hydrophobia.

On St Patrick's Day John O'Neil, of
the Eastern Boulevard and Fifty-sixth
Street, found a fierce-looking dog in his
goat-house As he stopped in the door
way. the shed being low, the dog fast
ened its teeth in his nose and in the flesh
over his left eye. The wounds bled
freely. and afterward healed On Sun
day afternoon Il neighbor invited o. Neil
to take drink As he raised the beer
to his lips, O'Neil felt as though he was
choking. He put down the glass, re-
turned TO his home. and went to bed.
Symptoms of hydrophobia soon appear
ed, and O'Neil died yesterday morning.
"On Monday morning. said DR..
Abbott Hodgman, of 141 East Thirty
eighth Street, Il began to attend 0'Neil
He was convinced that he could not
escape death, and he said to his wife,

was racked by frequent spasms, and
when free from them he could not keep
quiet. A few drops of water that put
into glass in front of him provoked a
terrible spasm. He bounded from one
bed to another In the evening he was
almost dangerously violent. He expec-
torated almost necessarily, the splitting
being almost rs white and thick as wool.
The temperature of his body was 102 -
degrees Fahrenheit, and his pulsations
We're $50 per minute. On Tuesday he
took some medicine. In the evening
his pulsations ranged as high as lao per
minute At O'Clock this morning he
began to threaten those about him, and
he was tied down in bed. He expecto-
rated continually until about daylight,
when the delirium seemed to reach its
height, and about O'Clock he died.

pcrvision OF Rev. O. Ellyson. DR.. Cuth-
bert, OF the First Baptist church at WASH
ington. I am informed. preached several
very able sermons during the progress OF
the meeting. 1t was not my pleasure to
hear them. Several persons areto be added
to the church by baptism tomorrow eve
ming. The pastor, Mr.. Ellyson, is an earn-
est preacher and an excellent man. The
chief objection to him is that he thinks too
much OF Richmond and Petersburg. Isup-
pose. however, it is the duty OF the preacher
to think most OF those places where sinners
"mostly do congregate Thence, Rich
mond and Petersburg are much in minis
terial contemplation.
MONDAY MORNING.
The ordinance OF baptism was admins
istered last night at the Baptist church by
the pastor, Rev. o. Ellyson. The body OF
the house and the galleries were densely
packed with attentive hearers, there being
no preaching at any other church in the viii
lage. The sermon by Mr.. Ellyson, from
the text, "My yoke is easy and my burden
| is light" was impressive and most appro-
pirate to the occasion. Seven persons were
immersed.
| The Christian public is decided here, as
elsewhere, upon the proper mode OF bap-
tism, but there has meyer been time in the
| cypcrience OF the churches when they nave
been more in sympathy than now. This is
attributable to the working OF the Young
Mems Christian Association, whose devo-
| tional exercises arc held alternately Mt the
several churches in the village. Under
these influences, if permitted to exercise
their legitimate power religious and denom-
national prciudices, together with sectarian
bigotry, will be supplanted by united
effort to promote the true, the active, and
living essentials OF noble Christian bro
| therhood. &. NJ. l..
