mttee held it's first meeting in Washington on
the 21st of June. James E. Anderson was the
first witness summoned, but he positively
refused to answer any questions. He
told the committee that if Senator Mat

questions the Matthews committee might ask
him but otherwise he would remain dumb as

uniting to me the following questions connect
ed with the circuler received by you from the
Congressional Campaign Committee, asking for
contributions to the campaign fund: Whether
you are obliged to pay such contribution {;
whether you are permitted to do so; and
whether your doing 80 or not doing so will af-
feet your official standing and prospects in this

stated, will not affect in any manner whatever
your official standing or prospects in this de-
partment. G. ScHURz.

A Crab and a Lawsuit.

A curious case came up before q
Baltimore Police Court the other dav.
A naughty boy named John Wilson, ii
appears, delights to tease his compan-
ions, and, the other day, possessing
himself of live crab, he gave into it's
grasp the nose of a boy named Eagan.
Despite his utmost exertions Eagan
could not rid himself of the crustacean.
and it was only when The bystanders
rent the crab piecemeal that the boy
was released. To avenge this insult to
her offspring Eagans mother soundly
whipped young Wilson, who thereupon
had her brought before a court for as
sault and battery. The Judge, however,
apparently considering honors easy,
dismissed the suit.

It is expected that the Berlin Con-

A Berlin dispatch says the congress
as decided to admit Greece, with consultation

The powers continue to act in groups, but not
necessarily in a hostile sense. Austria and
England from one point of view, and Turkey
from another, oppose Russia's claims. Ger
many, France and Italy adopt medlatoGy at
titude. There can be little doubt OF thorough
understanding between England and Austrla,
or of the likelihood of its continuance during
the entire deliberations.
Queen Mercedes, OF Spain, is so Ill

st. Petersburg advices are to the effect
that the Russians are greatly annoyed at the
agreement of the congress that the Turks may
garrison the Balkan passes. In st. Petersburg
Schouvaloff is seriously blamed for the aban'
donment of some of the important fruits OF the
war.
A Berlin correspondent of the London
TS,nes says Beaconsfeld informed Bismarck
with extraordinary energy that on the question
of fortifying the Balkan passes and garrison

Done Brown.

It seems incredible that a man born
and raised in Annisquam, Mass, should
have been done so concededly brown as
the particular Caleb described to the
Drawer, as follows, by lady:
A well-to-do resident of the village,
Capt. W, wished to employ Caleb
to saw some wood, three cords and a half
in all, and promised to pay him so cents
day. Caleb owned no saw, but as the
Captain had a good one it was agreed
that Caleb should hire it, and pay for
the use of it at the rate of ninepence a
cord. At early dawn the next morning
it was in July-Caleb was at work.
Those were the days of wide ire-places,
and each log needed to be sawed but
once. Before night he had finished the
job, and went into Capt. w rs house
to settle. IL oh 3j@~
"Let's see" said the Captain; 'tyou
we're to have so cents day; we'll call
it day, though it isn't shutdown yet.
That's 80 cents for you. And you were
to pay me ninepence a cord for the use
of the saw; there's 49, cents due me. /
say, Caleb, you don't seem to have
much coming."i So 1.l: 39uu939>
Caleb looked dubious. He scratched
his head lthoughtfully, but presently
light seemed to break in upon his mind.
"How unfortnit." said he, "that you

of a guild known as guardian angels
who are always within call, and this
guardian angel takes the drunkard

An Heiress' Degradation.

In the Municipal Court to-day, Jo-
sephine Frail, who has comedy intelli-
gent face, but possessing no other &C.
compartment of responsibility, was ar
raigned for drunkenness. Josephine
Frail - is not her name, it is merely an
alias to hide her shame from friends and
relatives, who occupy proud position
in the most influential and cultured Cir
cles in New York city. From her own
statements, which are abundantly con-
firmed by competent and trustworthy
testimony, there appears to be no ques-
ton that Josephine Frail" is the
daughter of ex-Mayor VIM. F. Have
myer, of New York city. and, therefore,
heiress to a portion of the handsome
property left by this gentleman at the
time of his death, only a few months
ago. What induced her to leave home
where she had everything in the world
necessary to make her comfortable and
happy, where she could have remained
an honored and respected woman, sur
rounded by kind friends and loving rel
atives, is mystery which she utterly
refuses to explain. It is known, howev-
er, that she has led very dissipated and
degraded life FOR the last three or four
years, and descended very far down on
the broad road to ruin. It is really one
of the saddest cases of "fallen human
nature" which the old dock, so familiar
with human wrecks as it is, too, has
contained for years. Josephine was
fined So and costs, but, Notwithstanding
she is heir to thousands, she was unable
to pay the fine, and is now in the House
of Correction. Boston Herald.
