WASHINGTON, March 14.-Mr.Stanley
Matthews made to-day, in the Senate,
three hours'prepared speech in favor OF
the Union and Central Pacific railroads.
He championed the bill for sinking
fund which had been prepared by the
representatives Of these corporations,
and which is entirely in their interest.
j. Gould, G. p. Huntington, Sidney Dill
lon all the lobbyists of the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific railroads were on
the floor of the Senate this morning list
ening with much interest to the argues
ment of Mr.. Matthews, which occupied
the entire time OF the Senate after the
morning.
The House committee on commerce
expect to report the river anu harbor ap>
preparation bill on Monday week, and
will then make an effort to pass it under
suspension of the rules. Through the
efforts of Representative Roberts the es-
Inmates Of the engineers fol Maryland ri

Toledo, Ohio. A petition thirty-nine
feet leng, signed by 1.150 business men
of Toledo, was received, protesting
against Reeds confirmation. The COM
mittee concluded after looking at this
petition to postpone Reeds case for a
week. A delegation from Toledo visited
the President to-day and asked him TO
withdraw the nomination OF Mr.. Reed,
and the President said he would consid-
er 1t and he believed the nomination of
Reed was a mistake.

Lively Demand for Government
Bonds and the Reason why.

WASHINGTON, March IA, 1s7S.-A des-
patch from New York in to-day's papers
reports that there Is q lively market for
and that orders for large amounts are re-
ceived by dealers. 1t should be under
stood that those are not new issues by the
government but bonds sent home from
Europe. The Treasury is selling out
small amounts OF the four per cents, and
the bonds which are, accordingto these,
so eagerly taken in different parts of the
country are mainly four-and-a-halfs and
fives, with a few fours, sent from Eu-
rope on the alarm caused by the silver
legislation.

why Is III

The truths of science and progressive
thought have always been compelled to batter
down the bulwarks of prejudice and disbelief,
or remain forever unknown. Why IS it that
people are so reluctant TO receive facts that re-
late directly to the phenomena of their own
existence! Astronomers, upon discovering
star, assign it place at once, and 1t is forever
fixed. The rule by which a mathematical
problem is once solved becomes forever an ak
ION; but no matter how clearly the principles
which govern health and sickness be demon
strated, some refuse to believe. DIR. Pierce's
Family Medicines, which are now so generally
used, and deservedly popular, were, in their
early days, very reluctantly received by the
people. To-day, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has outrivaled the old-time sarsapa-
rillas, his pellets are in general use in place OF
the coarse, huge, drastic pills formerly so
much employed, while the sales of his DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy and his Favorite Pre-
scription are enormous. Where the skin is
sallow and covered with blotches and pimples,
or where there are scrofulous swellings and al
fections, a few bottles of his Golden Medical
Discovery will effect an entire cure. If you
feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have saliOw col
or of skin, or yellowish-brown spots on face or
body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad taste
in mouth, internal heat or chills alternated
with hot Pushes, low spirits and gloomy fore
bodings, irregular appetite, and tongue coat
ed, you are suffering from Torpid LiCtr, or
"BiliOlLsuess.n In many cases of "Liyer Com
plai1t'' only part of these symptoms are expe-
rienced. AS remedy for al such cases, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has no
equal, as it effects perfect cures, leaving the
liver strengthened and healthy. Debilitated
females who have undergone all the fortunes
of caustic and the knife, and yet suffer with
those peculiar draggi'ig-doeca sensations and
weaknesses, can have guaranteed to them
prompt and positive relief by using DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription; while constipation and
torpid liver, or ''biliousness," are promptly re-
lieved by the Pleasant Purgative Pellets. Sold
by al druggists.

Female Places for Hiding Money.

Mrs. Hansen put $50 in the oven of
her stove one night, to keep it safe.
Next morning after breakfast the
national debt had been diminished
exactly that much. A student
of the curious would find it interesting
to note the places in which women hide
their money. One excellent and frugal
dame used to tuck her savings away un-
der the corner of the carpet. The tiny
roll of greenbacks grew, fatter and fat
ter in the course Of year or two, when,
the day after it counted $3.50, the house,
took fire, burnt to the ground, and
again the national debt was diminished
by little roll of q woman's pin money.
There was that other careful lady, too,
who used sometimes to hide her dia-
monG rings between two teacups in the
kitchen cupboard, sometimes behind a
certain brick I'M the cellar, and again
under the lining of an old hat. She
had divers other places of safety for her
jewels also, the only trouble being that
she had so many hiding places she occa-
sionally forgot where she had last put
her precious things, and about every
three months would fancy she had been
robbed, and the house would be turned
inside out, and all therein made uncom-
Portable until the missing sums would
be found carefully tucked away in the
folds of the bottom towel of the pile in
the left-hand corner of the lower draw
er in the clothes-press at the east end of
the dining-room. This periodical ex-
element about Mrs. McGillicuddy' IS
diamond rings was the only event which
broke the monotony of an otherwise
rather dull life in a suburban residence.
Shakespear knew-the soul of the sex
when he made the MerryWives of Wind
sor hide FaIstaH ina basket of linen.
Their idea is to hide things in places
where people would n t be apt to look
for them. 1t is unusual, perhaps, for a
woman to have much money to take
care of, therefore she puts it away in an
unusual place. An estimable lady used
to hide her gold watch and pocket book
under the Inverted wash-basin in the
kitchen every night. A few days ago a
New York woman put her $500 diamond
I ring in the folds of lace curtain. She
put it there because that was a place
where thieves wouldn't be apt 10 look
! for it. a servant who was busting the
room shook tAe7curtain, and away went

Left by the Colored Exodus.

A Charleston Is. CO special of the
23d saws: Now that the Azor has sailed
and is probably some hundreds of miles
away, and the excitement attending her
departure has somewhat abated, the
question arises what is to become of the
unfortunate emigrants who have been
left behind and must remain in the city
until her return for the next voyage.
Careful inquiry at the office of the Lii
beriaa Exodus Association develops the
fact that 175 emigrants, men, women
and children, have been left behind and
intend waiting. to take passage on the
next trip. OF this number twenty-five
have sent their baggage and effects to
Monrovia by the Azor ahead of them,
while the remaining $50 have their
goods and chattels stored away in
the lower rooms of the building
in Exchange Street, occupied by the as
ISOLATION. These unfortunate men and
women, with their little children, are
nearly all'from the upper portion OF the
State and Georgia, and have left home
and friends and spent the hoardings OF
years in their efforts to reach the prom
ised land. Having made these sacri-
fees upon the assurance and induce
ments of the Exodus Association the lat
ter is, of course, directly responsible for
their welfare until the Azor returns.
Feeling this responsibility, and know
ing that the eye of the community is up
on them, the officers of the association
have acted with commendable prompt
tude. To-day they completed the pur-
chase of plantation of 270 acres, on
the west side of the Wanda River, in the
parish of st. Thomas and st. Dennis,
about ten miles from the city, where
they propose to place number of the
emigrants and furnish them with oc-
cupation. ~. - --.-ar

Deciphering Secret Messages.

1t is said that Senator Sharon has
made complaint that messages sent to
him in cipher have been deciphered and
their contents given to others specu-
lating in stocks, and the other Resident
Director, ID. o. Mills, has ordered an
investigation This deciphering of dis
patches of large stock spectators is not
new business, but, on the contrary, is
an old one, and one of the admitted
evils that follow stock gambling. In
the DAYS of the suit between the PotOsi
and Burning Moscow mines, a telegraph
operator was sent from here by some of
the mining magnates TO tap the wires at
Sportsman Hall, locality about twelve
miles distant from Placerville. In those
DAYS, the only Geographic communica-
ton with Virginia City was by this route.
The operator was detected, arrested and
finally sent to prison for term Of two
years. A few years since one OF our
present millionaires, who was then not
so rich in worldly goods, but fertile in
resources, made arrangements with an
operator in Virginia City to decipher the
dispatches to Senator Sharon, those
especially relating to Chollar. The
Senator then, as in the present case,
was not only surprised, but indig-
nant that what he considered
his sole and private information
was in the possession of this other
stock operator long before it had reach
ed him. After spending some time in
trying to find the ''inwardness" of this
marvel, he resorted to strategy. He in
structed the Superintendent of the
Chollar to forward cipher dispatch, as
usual, but which was understood be-
tween them to mean to the contrary of
what it was used for formerly. The re-
suit was the stock broker got the inform
alton first, as usual and made such a
demand and purchased so largely of the
stock that it was advanced many dol
lars per share, and at the very highest
figure was he loaded and his friends !;
but, unfortunately, Sharon was too
hasty and ''let the cat out of the Bag
the first day. Had he but kept the STRAIT
egy secret for three days there would
be to-day one millionaire less. The OPP
orator was detected, and when confront
ed with the evidence, admitted he was
the one who deciphered the dispatches
of Sharon and forwarded them to the
broker here. There were also well au-
thenticated stories adoat years ago Of
how Hayward's dispatches from Grown
Point were deciphered and several well
known brokers connected with the tam
pering 1t is to be hoped the present
investigation will be thorough, and
check that betrayal of confidential mat
ter which operators by oath bind them
selves to keep secret.-AltG-C California.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-05-02

"My poor girl, forgive me and help
me to bear this bitter, bitter punish
ment. From this moment, be Cyril
alive or dead, | will make amends to
you and him. You shall be to me as
much my daughter as though you were
Cyril's wife. But as long as Cyril was
not reported dead, there may be room
for hope. He may come back to us
yet"
Hilda caught eagerly at the ray of
hope.
"Oh, tell me truly" she said clasp
ing her hands in her intense eagerness,
until the nails almost cut into the ten
der skin, "could it be possible that
there was mistake? Do they ever put
the wrong name DOWN."
{" L have known of instances of one
officer being taken for another in the
haste and confusion of battle, and this
telegram was sent while the conflict was
still raging
So they tried to hope-even while
every one else was thinking sorrowfully
that the kind, bright-faced young mas
ter was lying with his face to the stars,
no longer ignorant of their voiceless
mysteries, in his solemn sleep.
Hilda remained at the manor. 1t was
a comfort to the old man to make, as
he thought, this expiration for his fault
In order that Hilda's position in his
household might be fully understood, he
announced her to be his sons betrothed
wife, and invited Lady Hargrave, his
widowed sister, to come and lend the
sanction of her presence to the young
girls residence in his home.
The next telegram brought cheering
news Cyril had lost an arm, but was
doing well, and was, as soon as he
would be able to bear the journey, to
be sent home, wearing on his breast
decoration earned by his own bravery.
After this there was happy house
hold at Atherton Manor. Lady Hargrave
was versed in all the womanly accom-
plishments, and she found Hilda an apt
pupil.
The Squire could hardly show enough
fondness for the gentle girl who had
been so patient and tender in care of
him through his tedious illness. The
sight of her pretty face bending over
her embroidery, or engaged in weaving
some delicate crochet pattern, seemed
to him like a tangible promise that he
was not to be left lonely, childless old
man.
So the days wore on until the pale
young soldier came home. Then there
was quiet wedding the festivities CON-
sequent upon the marriage of the heir
of the manor being reserved until the
return of the bridal pair from a length
ened tour in Italy, when it was fondly
hoped that Cyril would be fully restored
to health and strength, so that the
tenantry could be made happy BY his
presence. .n.

A Washington Millionaire.

There is one ex-Cabinet Minister in
Washington who cares not a fig for pub
lie opinion, and that is j. A. j. Cres-
well. He owns and occupies mansion
worth 100000, and its contents are
taxed at 100000 more. During the
four years that he was POstmaster-Gen-
eral he is said to have expended $4,000
for dinners, balls, ETC., under his own
vine and fig tree. His salary at that
time was S32, 900. He is now President
of Washington bank. His uncle, Mr..
Tome, of Maryland, gave him 81, OOO,-
900 some years ago. This fortune has
since doubled. He received about $780,
600 for his services as Government at
torney before the Court of Alabama
Claims, and for five years past he has
received $4,000 year as one of the
Commissioners to settle the accounts of
the Freedmen's Bank.
