The United States Senate was not in

thursday until Monday. In the House
a bill was reported providing for def
ciencies in appropriation for the service
OF the government for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1873; the bill appropria-
tes 81 1888, AS. Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsyl-
vania then made lengthy reply to the
speech made by Mr.. Garfield a few days
ago, and Mr.. Garfield rejoined, both
undertaking to discuss finances. The
House then proceeded to the con-
sideraticn of the diplomatic appropria-
tion bill. The bill appropriates VI .036,-

Eating His Note.

1t is easier for a lawyer to eat his word.
than to chew forged signature. An in,
surance attorney in st. Louis undertook
last week to have note for $500, bear.
ing the endorsement of j. o. Brodhead
discounted. A banker said there would
be no trouble in disposing of 1t, and
call again. A bill-broker who happened
to step into the office pronounced the
signature forgery. Colonel Brodhead
and detective were sent for and the
guilt of the lawyer established. As the
forger's arrival was expected every mo-
ment the Colonel stationed himself be-
hind door in the office. The lawyer
soon came in, and when he was accused
OF forgery exclaimed, " tell you, sir, that
Colonel Brodhead indorsed that note. I"
The Colonel stepping form his hiding
place said emphatically, "And tell you,
sir, that did not" The lawyer seeing
the note in the bankers hand snatched
1t away and tearing it in half, stuffed the
peices into his mouth and tried to swal-
low them. The police officer, however,
seized him by the throat and checked him
that he was forced to spit out
one of the fragments, and this was the
half which bore the signature.

At the close of his sermon he announced
that he desired a collection for the fund

busy putting down the fifty and twenty
five cent subscriptions that the desired
amount was over-reached before he had

American Exports of ofFurniture
Collins, etc.

We are indebted to our ingenious
brothers at the other side of the Atlantic
for vast variety Of "Yankee notions" )"
In the shape of inventions. They have
supplied us with machines for sewing,
washing, knife cleaning, egg beating,
cinder sitting, ,apple eparing, window clean
Ing, and many others, from nut crackers
to quartz crushers. These wo have util-
ized and appreciated. But it is not only
III patented inventions that our American
cousins have befriended US. A new trade
has lately grown up between Europe and
America, which must, sooner or later, be
felt in an important branch of native in
dustry. 1t is not generally known, but
such Is the fact. that American upholster-
ers are now exporting TO Great Britain
andthe contintntIargs quaint ties OF ready
made furniture, from kitchen chairs and
tables to the most elegant accessories of
the drawing room. The facility with
which these objects are turned out is al
most marvellous. The native woods of
America are easy to work, and suscepti-
Die OF fine polish. This wood applica-
Die to the better class furniture Is so
abundant that it is wholly superfiuous to
use veneens. The consequence Is, that
the objects are manufactured solid, and
oear much more wear and tear than ar
ucies Of similar class made in England.
Inc Prices are also much more reason
able, because skilled labor Is, to great
extent. dispensed with, and cheap ma,
chinery Is substituted for manual dexter.
ity. But 1t is not only in the matter of
household furniture that competition is
to be dreaded. The Americans are now
sending us window sashes, doors, skirt
ing boards, panel work, wainscots, and
all descriptions Of joinery. With this
assistance, the builder may regard with
more composure strikes among the car
