live to see the partial payment of the
advances made to the Pacific rail
roads. The Kansas Pacific has gone
into the hands of the first mortgage
bondholders, and the Government
lien Of 100000 is partially ex-
tinguished. But the bill outlined by
Senator Thurman proposes the exac-
tion of el,5O0,Oo0 each year from
the remaining benedciaries, together
with five per cent. on their net earn
ings, which would balance accounts

Saved by a Play.bilI.

The old saying that everything finds
its use sooner or later is simply borne
out by an episode in Russia's eastern
progress which one may still hear re-
lated at times with infinite glee, by some
veteran OF the Russian army. While
Bokhara was still an independent prin-
cipality under the terrible Nashrullah
Kahn, a small party of Russian engineer
officers from the settlement of the Syr-
Daria ventured into the hostile territory,
in the hope of surveying portion of it
before they could be interrupted. This
hope, however, was speedily disap-
pointed by the appearance of an over
whelming force of Bokharlote horsemen,
who advanced with the evident inten-
tion of attacking them.
The Russian leader, seeing his case
desperate, boldly assumed the character
of special envoy from the czar to the
ameer, and in this character made q
triumphal entry into the capital, escorted
by the very men who had been about to
take his life. Admitted to an audience,
he coolly presented his own gold watch
and silver. handled knife to the savage
despot, as the czar's gift to his "royal
BROTHER" and everything was proceed
| ing with the utmost smoothness, when
the ameer upset everything by suddenly
observing that surely the great czar Of
the Ooroos (Russians) must have sent
letter of some kind along with his
gifts.
At this malapropos remark the self.
styled ambassador turned pale as death
and already felt his head sit loosely
upon his shoulders. A young subalterI
beside him, however, with miraculous
presence of mind, drew from his pocket
book an old play-bill of the Alexander
theater at st. Petersburg, and coolly
read from it an imaginary letter of con
graduation, winding up by handing i
with low bow to the ameer. The lat
ter, who had already seen the czar'
name appended to more than one officia
document, was quite convinced by tn,
sight of the huge " Alexander along
the top of the paper in company will
the Russian double eagle; and tn,
precious play-bill was reverently de
posted among the royal archives o
Bohkara. where it probably remains t.
this day.

to what I shall provide. I've got my
ideas about it, and If you agree I'll GO
ahead, Emeline or no Emeline. It's
going to cost me enough, anyhow"
"Well," slowly responded Bijah, af-
ter moments thought, I'd put on c
clean table-cloth, of course, and I'd
scour up the knives and forks, and bor-
row all the spoons and dishes 1 could"
Yes--that's the way should do"
"Then, I'd have big bouquet at the
head of the table, two more in the cen.
ter and one at the foot. They not only
look beautiful, but they are great deal
cheaper than sweet cake"
"That's the plan exactly"
"Some folks are just mean enough to
turn bridal party away hungry" re-
sumed the old man, "but that isn't my
style. Sweet cake and peppermint
candy and ice cream are we'll enough for
consumptives, but after a person has
hung around for three or four hours to
see marriage go off he's apt to feel a
goneness. Now, if it was me, the found
alton of the bridal feast should be meat
and 'taters."
"Just what I told Emeline p ex-
claimed the woman, rubbing her hands
in delighted way.

good, solid pork, fried rather hard,
fanked by breakfast bacon and ham.
Then I'd have baked 'taters, mashed
Eaters. fried 'taters and Eaters warmed
over"
"I told her so-I told her so |" ex-
claimed the excited mother.
"Then, I'd have o plate of summer
squash at the heed of the table, and a
plate of winter squash at the foot The
edges of the plates can be ornamented
with slices of onions placed half an inch
apart"
"I hadn't thought of that, but I'll
have 'em--have 'em, or bust the we'd

"Well, then, the side-dishes may con-
sist of-of-let's see? Buckwheat pan
cakes are awful nice, madam, for one
thing. A picked pigs foot, placed on
plate by itself and half hidden under
stalks of celery, looks romantic and
tastes first rate. Then cut your pump
kin pie up in small pieces and serve it
with sweet cake. Then"
But isn't that about enough ?"
nervously inquired the woman.
Cali but some more onions madam.
There's where they make a great mis-
take at bridal feasts. The guest who
comes with his mouth watering for more
onions goes away a disappointed and
crushed man. I'd have 'em raw, stewed,
baked and hashed up. Those who don't
like 'em won't touch 'em those who

WILL" replied the woman. "It's me
who is running this bridal feast, and if
Emeline doesn't like it she can be mar
ried out on the commons. Well, Mr..
Joy, I'm thousand times obliged, and
you are hereby invited to attend the
feast"
"Ill come. Don't forget the onions
don't go back on the Eaters and the
solids. And now may all the blessings
on earth attend you and yours, and if
you get stuck for onions can send you
