The proposition came in good sea-
son. Jesse was also peusively iuclin-
ed. She bad begun to realize the fact
that, though a woman may sometimes
be naughty without violence to her
conscience, yet she must not be caught
especially with her husband cousin.
She therefore returned loving ans wer
expressing her willingness to forgive
all the wrongs she had suffered aud to
meet her husband at the time aud
place appointed. In pursuance Of this
arrangement, Tomliuson left louisville
on the wings of lOve-or rather on a

"A New York Herald letter from Brazil
gives a frightful picture Of the drought,
famine and pestilence raging in the north
ern portion OF that country for more shan a
wear past. Il is said to be the greatest ca
Iamity in two hundred years. Half mil
lion OF people were swept away by starva-
ton and disease. The smallpox aud black
plague carried off their victims III appalling
numbers, and thousands Of bodies were
rotting in open trenches At 1agoa Funda:
Thousands of other corpses were tom and
devoured by wild animals. The starving
peasants ate their own offspring. Some
places, including The city of Cerea, have
been depopulatod. In the terrible strug-
giles for life, children were abandoned aud
the young souls sold for brosd. Thous-
ands OF living skeletons were to be seen.
The Government aid is tardy, The letter
presents a picture of woe, such as can
scarcely be paralelled in history, excep'
by the siege of Jerusalem, and the black
death which desolated Europe III The -Four
tceuth century.

TIE Pittsburgh Post Of yesterday
week stated in a somewhat lengthy
article that it had reliable information
from Harrisburg that it was the pull
pose Of Tie present Legislature TO ig-
more the provision in the new constitu
ton foI biennial sessions, by so shap-
ing legislation az to compel the Gov
ernor to call an extra session next
January This scheme, the Post says,
is proposed to be accomplished by
limiting the necessary appropriations
to me year, instead of extending them
to t1co years, as contemplated by the
framers Of the constitution when they
provided for session every other
year, commencing in January, 1879.
1t is difficult to believe that the Legis-
lature will so sbuse the public patience
az to deliberately refuse to perform
plain and well understood duty, and
yet, on the same day of the appearance
OF the article in the Post, the Harris
burg correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Times wrote to that paper that
several members of the committee on
appropriations in the House had in
formed him that it was not intended
to report any appropriations for next
year. which means, as the correspond
ent says, called session next January
The difficulty is that if such purpose
is really entertained, there is no way
to arrest it unless 1t be through the
power Of public opinion, which has
been known some times.tO stay the
madness even OF Pennsylvania lie
gislature. 1t is just as easy for The
appropriation committee to embrace
two years as one, and every voter II
the State at the election last NoVem
Der distinctly understood that ther'
would be no meeting Of the Legislature
in 1880. For the members OF tn
present body to render it obligator,
on the Governor in this way to call
together again in order that the wheel
Of the government may not be stopped
would be plain and palpable viola
tien OF their oath OF office.
This Legislature will differ great
? from those which for several year
have preceded it, if it is not veighe
down with sins of omission as well
sins Of comission, when the day Of II
final adjournment arrives, and a
: though the taxpayers have not on
+ occasions as promptly and indignant
t resented the criminal expenditure
! their money rs they ought to ha'
n done, it is not difficult to predict tn
o If All extra session becomes necessal
by making the appropriations GOV
It only one year, instead Of two, th'
? the last straw will have been plac'
e upon the cameIs (people's) back.

SENATOR CHRIsTIASCY, Of Michigan,
recently appointed Minister to Peru,
has written to friend in Washington
that he has sold his property in Lans-
ing. .he capital, where he resided, for
sII 600, having offered it for sale two
months ago for $4,000, without re
ceiving any bid for it. The morbid
anxiety OF Zachariah Chandler to get
Christisncy out Of the Senate, in order
that he (Zachariah) might step into
his shoes, rs he now will, coupled with
The fact that Chandler is very rich,
will perhaps account for the sudden
aud unexpected rise in the market OF
Christiancy's real estate in Lansing
The whole thing has very Chandler
LikeI0sk about it.

The oil producers are about to have
administered TO them n pretty strong
dose Of the ingratitude, not Of the Re-
public, but Of the Republican party.
While thew cheerfuily acknowledged
during the campaign last fall the earn
est and unselfsh suppor: OF their inter
ests by Andrew II. Dill in the State
Senate, and while they were compelled
10 admit the want of such support Oh
the part Of the Republicans in the Le-
gislaturo. they nevertheless accepted
the promises OF Hartranft, hackey,
Ouav. and others, of future recOgnI-
ton and protection-voted against
Dill-gaye Hovt nearly one-half the
majority he received in the State, and
elected representatives every one OF
whom. with two exceptions, voted for
Cameron for United States Senator.
Their reward has come quickly, but
not in the shape they had been duped
to expect Cameron betrayed them
last week in tue Senate on the bill
against discrimination in freight
charges. and in tho Legislature Re
publican member from Allegheny
county has offered, and Republican
committee has sffirmat:vely reported
two bills against which they vehemently
protest az utterly destructive of thei
business and hopes of future pros
peritv. One Of these bills imposes ;
j. tax Of five cents on each barrel o
crude petroleum, and the other require
a the paymcnt Of a license Of $500 70
$ all new wells bored during the pTesen
year, and $3.50 for all wells put dow
