There are premonitory symptoms of a
violent uDpleasantness in the happy dem
ocratie family. Congress has now been
IN special session for five weeks, and every
day has made itmore evident that the major
lty has put itself into hole from which
there is no escape except by crawling out
and crawling out backwards at that.
Such an undignifed exit can hardly be
called an escape. From any point of view
it looks like a fatal blunder, and of course
somebody is to be blamed either for get
ting the party into the hole or for the man
ner OF getting it out. The more rational
members of the party are beginning to
talk unexpectedly of the Hotspurs who
recklessly precipitated the crisis, while the
unnamed elements already mutter revil-
ings against the more discreet for their
increasing weakness in the back and
knees, and altogether there is much Wig

A Utah Fish Story.

There is small stream of water which
flows through Mr.. Whites farm on San
yie's Island, and empties into the Will
lamet. The brook passes through the
milking-yard short distance from the
house. For the past month fish known
as suckers and red horse have been run
ming up in such numbers as to almost
crowd each other from the water. a
few evenings since, while Mr.. White
and his men were milking they heard q
loud splashing in the water, and upon
looking aroung saw an immense stur-
geon leap into the air and land upon a
small bridge which spans the stream.
In few seconds they were upon him,
and tugged away to get him safely on
land. The monster struggled with all
his might, and it required considerable
exertion to get him to land, and with q
club quiet his resistance. The neigh
bors feasted several days on the elegant
meat.-SdH Lake Tribune.

Love-Making I'm South Italy.

Love-making by signs is very general.
The method has many recommends
tions; for, as the lovers are not seen to-
gether, ,and dom It write, they are noteasily
found out. Every window opens to the
floor, and has balcony, so that neigh
bors have great facilities for the pastime.
The language of love is very simple; it
is always the same, and always inter-
esting and new The gentleman begins
by taking out his handkerchief, which
he passes over his face, looking all the
time at the lady, and throwing into his
face and eyes expressions of admiration
for her; at the same time he compi-
ments her on her beauty by pushing his
hand over his mouth and chin. The
lady's answer is q blush, hiding her
face, except the eyes, behind her fan,
and pointing to the rear to indicate that
mamma is coming, and retreats. Next
time, the same play on the gentlemen's
side, followed by possibly glance, not
of discouragement, from the lady;
whereupon he hugs his left side, to ex-
press that he loves her to distraction;
and the lady fees, to return the next
day, and observe the gentleman, of
course, to her great astonishment and
displeasure, repeat the previous ges-
lures, ending by showing her
the palms of his hands, and
looking entreaty, which any young
lady, even unacquainted with the par
ticular language in question, would un-
derstand to mean: 81 VOW by, ETC.,
that love you more than, etc. Do you
love mep" The answer to which, OF
course, depends upon circumstances
and thus the ancient comedy proceeds.
1t is understood to be extremely inter-
esting to the dramatis pcrsong. Love-
making, short Of the 'sask-papa'' part,
is frequently carried on in South Italy
in this way; and it not seldom happens
that when papa is inexorable, or the
lady in a convent, the whole affair, in
cluding agreement and preparations to
run away, is transacted solely by ges-
ture-apropos Of which it is on record
that an occasion Of this sort all being
prepared, and the gentleman in the
street waiting at the lady's door with
the carriage intended to carry off the
happy couple, a awfully gruff voice
was heard asking, 'sAre you therep"
The lover looked toward the voice, saw
that it came from the object Of his bal
cony affections. and, utterly disenchant-
ed, hed.--Appletoz's journal.

Business VS.. Sentiment.

While q family from some one Of the
back counties of Ontario were in Wind
sor yesterday, on their way to this side,
a citizen of that town, who was never
known to smile on the outside, looked
over the family, wagon, and long haired
ponies, and beckoned the wife aside.
She was the driver of the team, and it
was easy to see that she run the family.
"Going over to America, / suppose"
began the citizen as she followed him to
the walk.
Eyes, going right over now," she
answered.
You have heard of the new law, of
course? You will have to set value on
your husband and pay a duty of 10 per
cent. on him.
"No!"
"Fact. The law just went into force
yesterday. How much do you value
him ate''
"Well," replied the wife after some
hesitation, "John hain't of much &C.
count, and that's fact. He's lazy, and
he can't plan, and bargain, and get
along. II I've got to set price on him,
l shall put him in purity low. Let me
cali him."
The lathy-legged husband came down
of the wagon at her call, and she ex-
planned the case to him and added:
"Now, John, you know you wouldn't
bring six shillings if you were put up at
auction, and you can't expect me to put
you in for any great sum-"
!" Waal, Helen,'' he slowly answered,
81 know I'm kinder sick, and tired,
and lazy, and l don't suppose I'd bring
much of price these hard times, but
I'm the father o. them three children,
an you can't say was ever cross and
mean to you. l kinder hate to be valu-
ed same as scrub calf, and yet hain't
worth as much as good colt"
The woman seemed to turn the whole
case over in her mind, and finally said:
"John, I kinder like you in spite of
all, and the children all like you, but
when it comes down to business and 10
per cent. that's another thing. I'll split
the difference with you; I'll put the
price in at 50 and add two more for
sentiment. Isn't that fairP"
"That's plenty-more'nI expected"
he thankfully replied, and there was q
sweet smile of satisfaction on his face as
he drew his long legs into the wagon
over the tail-board. Detroit Free Press.

" Going Home.o

There isn't day in the year but what
one can see just such parting as yes
terday morning took place at the Union
Depot. Man and wife had come down
to the train which was to bear her to her
mothers. The husband had fully per.
suaded her that her health was failing,
and that she ought to 60 home on six
weeks visit. She thought she felt even
better than usual, but husbands know
best about these things, of course. This
| wife seemed to have made her prepara.
tions quickly, and had not yet said what
was on her mind to say. It lacked thir.
ty-five minutes of train time, and as
they sat down in the waiting room she
said:
Now, Henry, the last time went
away"
"Just wait-I want to see if that's our
train," interrupts the husband, as he
rose up. Going out, he was absent sew
en- minutes. When he returned she was
ready to say:
~ wanted to say to you that the
neighbors-''
"Did give you the check for your
trunk9" he suddenly inquired.
She found it in her pocket, restored
it, and began again:
"Of course have confidence in you,
but 80
|" You remember that you must not
change cars at the Junction." he said as
he looked at his watch. sWhen you
reach there you will hear men yelling
change cars for this and that place, but
you sit right STILL"
Haven't I been over the road four
different times, and don't I know all
the stations? Now, Henry, although
there will be no one in the house but
you, have -
Did you forget that lunch basketp''
he excitedly asked as he looked around
and under the seat.
She had it on her lap-an the time. As
soon as she had assured him of its safety
she said:
You now come from the Office every
evening at 6, and, of course, l shall ex-
pect -"
That's our train!" he exclaimed
as he leaped up and grabbed for the
sachel.
Dear me, but / wanted to say to
you" she replied as she followed him
out. He rushed down the depot and
put her aboard the coach as fast as pos
sible, but while arranging the seat she
said:
"Now, Henry, 1 am going away for
six weeks, but want to say that ~ -
"There goes the bell-I'll be left
let me kiss you-good-bye, dear!" and
be was out of sight in an instant.
A man across the aisle, who seemed
to know how matters stood. looked at
his watch and then called out:
!" 1t lacks just twenty-five minutes OF
train-timei"
The wife rose up and walked to the
door, but Henry was clear of the depot,
and all she could do was to give one of
her band boxes kick and mutter:

How to Utilize a Rat.

Large sewer rats get into houses, and
especially into public buildings in which
suits of apartments are let to families
walls and pantries, these ferocious ver-
min are more destructive than wild
beast of prey-and more dangerous,
when cornered. One person who had
suffered much and long from their raw
ages, and whose occasional capture of
one of their number had failed to make
any impression on the general horde, re-
solved to try new plan. 1t is known
that nothing SO frightens a rat as to
hear the shrieks of one of its own kind
in captivity. Having caught vicious
and lively specimen, the experimenter
determined on the cruel expedient of
starving him to death, and to make his
squealing /" tell'' on the others. Caught
in box or wire trap, the rat was there
kept, unharmed except for deprivation
of food and water-and he lived Just
two days and two nights. During that
time, what with the pangs of hunger
and thirst, and the added occasional in
centive to vocal exercises in the shape
of proddings and stirrings-up with a
long pole, the Gagged rat gave forth at
sundry and divers times such piercing
shrieks of rage and despair as only rat
can utter. Probably it wouldn't have
been entirely safe, at that time, to have
given him a chance to smell of your
finger, or get at your thumb; but one
good result was certainly accomplished
by that otherwise too cruel experiment
not rat has been in that room or in
those walls, from that day to this, a
period. we believe, of about half a year.
A similar result is said to have been at
tanned by catching rat, dipping it into
a pot of red paint, and then letting it
run; and also by shearing and singeing
rat and then letting him go.

Commerce. the leading industries in Mas
sachusetts continue to show improve
ment in many instances, and to hold
their own in all. In all the great manu-

mand for labor. The Lowell factories

one or two exceptions, kept fully en-
ployed in orders; and throughout the
