,Hhen men are once agreed upon
q certain policy, wisdom would die.
tate the expediency of carrying that
agreement into action as soon as pos.
sible. The injury from delay will be
in proportion to the Importance OF
the matter and will increase as the
delay is prolonged. Another propo-
sition is equally true: The men,
whosc .conduct' causes the delay,
are tricksters more or less rs that
CONDUCT is UNNECESSARY.
The country has been looking upon
the action of Congress for two weeks
at first with great interest and not q
little anxiety until 'the complexion
Of tho parties were ascertained
and the policies plainly foreshadowcd.
Speeches were made during the first
Itive or six days Which brought promi.
lnently before the county the points
at issue as well as the argument for
and against each point, and every un-
biased mind, whether Democrat or
Republican, is today satisfied that
The obnoxious laws ought to be re-
pealed and the quicker it be done the
better for the peace and prosperity
or the country. Indeed every good
Citizen Is anxious to see a permanent
settlemept effected and to see the pco-
pie and state once more on the high
road 10 prosperity. Tired of the excite
ment of the past few years and utter
1y disgusted with the political corrup-
ton that existed not only in politics
but entered unbidden the moral and
sociaI elements OF society, the people
expect such revolution from the
pemocratic party as will restore
peace to lhe' land, prosperity to the
citizen, purity to society, and char
acter to the individual. Any delay,
which impairs this expectation by un-
necessarily deferring its fulGllment,
viii be sore disappointment to the
people aIa an abs olute injury to the
party controlling affairs.
And yet Democrats in Congress
will allow Republicans to read
speeches of Two hours length, and
will answer these speeches with 9th
srs equally as long and tedious !;
knowing. that every speech is bit
repetition Of what has already been
said, that not an argument can be
made either Tor or against the pro-
posed legislation that has not already
beep presented, and that rot single
vote can be changed even if every
man makes speech. rffe cry of
fairness does very we'll, if there were
anybody to be convinced, or if such
was the intention Of the speakers !;
but such faI|ifnesss becomes absolute
foolishpess when innocent ;citisens
are being arrestsd, tried and convict-
ed under the very law which is sought
TO be repealed.
The public are becoming tired of
such nonsense, and We are glad that
today will end the farcical scene SO
far 'as lie House is concerned, for, if
we mistake not, this date was ap-
pointed for tlis previous question.

BOILING FRESH FIsH.-All fresh fish
or fresh meats must be put into boiling
water; salt fish or salt meats into cold
water. Before putting in the fish throw
in about two tablespoonfuls of salt for
large fish, little heaped, and a wines
glass of vinegar. This secures the best
flavor of fish, and the vinegar does not
affect the taste at all. The water must
be boiling when the fish is laid in, but
after that it must only simmer. Never
boil fish. II is done when it begins to
crack or cleave apart from under the
gilIs, if q whole fish il only a part of a
fish it will, when done, spring off a little
from the backbone. Don't let it cook a
minute longer after that.

Study to Entertain.

Golden Rule Magazine
Many people seem to think that the
capacity to entertain people and be en-
rertained comes naturally; that certain
ones can make people hsppy because
they are gifted and have extraordinary
eudowments which make it possible for
them to delight people. 1t never seems
to occur to them that in order to enter
tain people one must give thought to it;
that people are not made happy without
efort-wisely directed effort.
Our observation leads US to think
hat half at least of the good compan-
ioaship Of the world comes from the
good forethought of somebody. Some
body has planned it. TIE happy oc-
cuTronce was not an accident it was the
re-ult OF generalization. All the little
aGd sweet social surprises of life; all the
little domestic secrets between children
and parents, which, in their unfolding,
briul the household with gladness; all
the larger and more stately social festiv-
tiles that keep the life OF a neighborhood
buoyant, are only the natural sequence
Of benevolent and good natured thought
on the part Of some one.
Have you invited little company to
your house of an evening, friend
Well, then, how do you propose to enter
:ain them? Do you think that sliced
tongue and escalIoped oysters will suffice?
But how shall you iced the intellects
and spirits Of your guests? Music {?
Yes, if they can sing. But perhaps OF
the DOZEN you have invited, rot over one
or two have voices sufficiently cultivated
to sing in public. Games Excellent.
| Few of US that don't like to play games
checkers, chess, whist, anything that's
/ light, sprightIy and entertaining. Have
you any pictorial books in your library
OF about the house? Il so, be sure 10
place thsm on the comfortable. We've
/ known a single volume furnish delight
| frI entertainment 10 q whole group for
az hour. Have you Chinese top? Il
/ not, purchase one. 1t may cost you
| twenty C nts, ard wei warrant that the
| first evening after you get it, if you be
rightly constructed morally, you will
want no other entertainment than you
will get cut of spinning it yourself. Do
you say " Pshaw tops are Tor boys %
/ All right; Why not be boy occasionally
/ Try it, and see how you ike it. We
dare s1y you have been a man so long
You have fClgottea all about being hoy.
/ How long is It since you slid down hill
Twenty years? We are ashamed OF you
Get a sled and try tomorrow night
What tine you viii have! We wish
we could be with you.

Washington Letter in Chicago Times.
The great conundrum here now is
" How much property did Gushing
leave1" And no one Is able to solve the
question satisfacto lily. His large landed
possessions in the Northwest, which
gave him so much trouble, were taken
off his hands year before last by Gen.
Butler, who thus earned the vote fer
Governor which Gushing gave him at
tie NewburypOrt polls. His Virginia
estate, an old Church-Of- England pars0n-
age, about five miles from the city, he
sold some time before his death to the
man who had carried it On. His house
at Newburyport and his good law Ii
brary will realize something, and it to be
hoped that he has left besides enough to
give q support to a nephew and two
nieces who are in destitute circumstances
He has at times received large fees, but
his OUTLAWS in connection with his West
ern land operations have been constant
and considerable. There was another
constant drain on his purse, but, as We
are told not TO expose the pecadillos of
the dead, / will not enter into particu-
lars. More general information is bur
led in Cushing's grave than any living
American possesses, yet he has left moth
ing behind him to show posterity how
rare and varied were his attachments
except some opinions delivered when he
was Attorney General, book of travels,
and his scathing criticism of old Cock
burn, his adversary at Geneva.

Under Gods shadow.

Many years ago, one stormy winter
day, a minister was visiting one of his
people, an old man, who lived in poverty
ia lonely cottage few miles from Jed
burgh. He found him sitting with the
bible open upon his knees, but in outward
circumstances of great discomfort, the
snow drifting through the roof and under
the door, and scarcely an ember of fire
upon the hearth.
"What are you about to-day, John d

in murder as well as in love. But the
hanging Of Thomas D1wd in ST. Andrews,
n. B., Oh Monday, furnishes q contrary
instance. Dowd and Mrs.. Ward muir
dered Mr. Ward Neither tu1nod states
evidence, and both were convicted.
Dowd maintained to the last, in the face
of most convincing proof, that he alone
was guilty. Although few believed
him, his persisteucy gave a pretext for
avoiding the hanging of woman. and
her death sentence was colnmuted to
imprisonment So Dowd died with the
consciousness that he had saved his
criminal partner from the gallows.
