Just past, have been comparatively few aud IN
importants the passage OF a bin to encourage
tree planting on government lands; and three
days afterwards, the passage Of the so-calied
Little Deficiency Bill The net result OF the
weeks work Is. therefore, almost invisible.
The House passed a bill to reform the adver-
Using Of mail contracts. and the Naval Appro-
priation Bill, whose specifications are minute
beyond precedent, and therefore we'll calculat-
ed to prevent abuses in the expenditure Of
moneys.
Senator Howe's speech against the admins
tration created some temporary excitement ;
but that has all blown over; and that reminds
me that, while travelling out west during the
last election, saw this dignlied and venerable
Senator, whose christian name is Timothy o.
Howe, billed familiarly as Tim O'Howe," in
some obscure town in Wisconsin, where he was
announced to speak and where the Celtic
element is decidedly predominatng. Such is

does not the heather worship false Gods as an
assurance of supreme being. OF being
greater than man? Again I would ask: Are
the followers OF the Arabian Prophet Mahamed
to lose their reward for knowing nothing of
the religion OF Jesus Christ and the Bible? 1t
always seemed strange to me, why the religious
world should be constantly wrangling over
Christianity. II the Bible is the only true word
Of God and the emblem Of righteousness, why
not all look at it and read it alike.
Net long since two ministers Of the gospel
one Disciple (who was preaching discourse)

Baptism. One claimed he could baptlze into
his church only whilst the other claimed be
baptised for the remission of sin After
wrangling over the subject for half an hour or
more, to the disgust OF the entire congregation,
services were closed by the benediction and all
went home in ignorance OF the law-ministers

To attaining the condition.
That an upright course makes sure

That their Lord. allwise. should choose

When He gave them form and birth:

In His hand still holds the earth:

And though friends He should commission

Bob Burdette Lying Around Minnesota.

One of the lions of Lake Minnetonka
is Crane Island. Nobody lives on it but
the cranes. And, singularly enough,
you never see or hear of q crane on any
other island on the lake. But on Crane
Island, which is heavily wooded, there
are millions and millions of 'em. The
boats that ply on the lake run close to
this island and whistle to scare up the
cranes for the amusement of the tour
lists. The cranes used to live IN daily
terror of the whistles, and when they
were blown the startled birds would dy
up in dense clouds, shutting out the
light of the sun and making the whole
lake so dark that you couldn't see
torch-light procession on it. But they
are more accustomed to it now. When
the Hattie Mays whistles were blown
the other day only few of the birds
came ont. One was o very large, petp--
liant old fellow, who stretched himself
above the tree tops and said: cav,
give Us rest" And several imperti-
nent young cranes advised us to ego
and chaw iron," and to ego sun your
selves" But even this was very anus
ing, and the passengers enjoyed it inn
mensely. There are cranes ON this is
land more than 200 years old. Some of
them are 16 feet high.-Bursington

"He'd Been Oar Bef0'.'

A tall, gaunt, gray haired negro, who
was driving mule attached to q dray
along Pratt Street yesterday, when near
Light accidentally dropped his hat di-
rectly behind the heel of the animal.
The mule was tall and gaunt like its
owner and was the possessor of two
mammoth ears that lazily tapped to
and fro as he walked. The negro, in
stead of adopting the simple expedient
of driving past his hat, stopped and
climbing off the rear of the dray, walked
cautiously to the front, and, after gazing
anxiously at the mule, stopped and
slowly stretched out for his head COW
ering. The mule quietly watched his
motions until his hand was within few
inches of the hat, when the tall ears
dropped and the hind leg of the animal
was launched viciously at the darby.
The latter, evidently made wise by ex-
perience, at the first motion of the ears
Frustrated himself on the ground and
the flying hoof passed over him without
injury. A crowd had collected and
were watching the scene with interest,
and to them the negro, after picking
himself up, exclaimed, with evident en-
joyment: "Yah! yah! No he didn't.
Use been dar befo'." While speaking
he turned his back on the mule and un-
consciously approached the dangerous
hindquarters of the animal. The ears
before mentioned again fell, and the
next instant the jubilant negro was roll
ing over in the gutter, bowling with
pain, amid roars Of laughter from the
crowd. Jumping up, the man made
wide circuit around the dray, Chamber
ed on by the rear, and seating himself
with great tenderness, which, however,
did not prevent his making q grimace of
pain, he drove rapidly of, lashing the
mule with heavy cart-whip.-BaAi-

An Unassuming Philanthropist.

About one month ago the Andover
Theological Seminary of Massachu-
sets and Dartmouth College,
New Hampshire, received each a dona-
ton of $4,000. The munifcent gift,
coming to these respective institutions
not only unsolicited but entirely unex-
pected, and from q donor unknown to
the officers, was an event SO much out
of the usual channel of bestowing gifts
that it has caused a general interest to
ascertain the name of the unostentatious
donor. Recent DEVELOPMENTS disclose
the fact that this person is Mr.. Henry
Winkley, who a quarter of a century
ago was a merchant in this CITY, where
he acquired handsome fortune. Since
retiring from business Mr.. Winkley has
devoted large share of his time travel
ing both in this country and in Europe.
Naturally the public was curious to be-
come acquainted with one who so close
ly follows the scriptural injunction,

It is an established rule in the cafes
and restaurants of Paris that the walters
not only receive no salary, but pay q
daily stipend to the proprietors for the
privilege of waiting upon customers. It
Is customary in Paris and all over Eu-
rope for the customer to give 2 or 8 sous
to the waiter, which in the course of .
day, amounts to quite handsome sum.
In some of the restaurants an urn iskept
on the desk of the cashier and each Of
the walters as he receives this gift money
is required to drop it into the urn. At
the close of the day it is taken out and
divided among all the walters, the pro-
prietor receiving one-fourth of the
amount. In other establishments each
waiter keeps the money he receives, but
pays the proprietor from 2 to 10 francs,
according to the run Of custom. A Gu
rious incident of the absurdity Of this
custom occurred at the Paris Exposition
