In 1143 there was quite an anti tea agitation
IN Scotland where it was pronounced by the
famous Duncan Forbes to be "in many respects
an improper diet, expensive, wasteful of time
and calculated to render the population weak
" and eliminate" During that time there
was n vigorous movement all over Scotland
for abolshlng the use of tea. Resolutions
were passed by town councils and the inhabl
tants of villages condemning it and advocat
ing beer Sir William Fullertons tenants in
AYRSHIRE entered INTO the following bond
I'VE, being all farmers by profession, think II
needless To restrain ourselves formally from in
dulglng in that foreign and consumptive lux
ury called tea for when we consider the
slender constitutions of many of higher rank
among whom 1t is used, we conclude that 1t
would be but an improper diet to qualify lis
for the more robust and maGly part of our
business and therefore we shall only give our
testimony against it, and leave the enjoyment
of it altogether to those who can afford to be
weak, lndOeRt and useless.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent

WASHINGTON, ~. u, MdrCn ~, ISSU.
The House on Saturday attempted to make
show toward weeks work. and managed
to refer quite q number Of bills reported from
committees to the calendar The Consular
and Diplomatic appropriation bill was then
taken up and the general debate concluded,
and the reading of the bill by sections tor
amendments begun, which cuts the debate
down to five minute speeches and gives some
assurance of the speedy disposal of the bill.
( Having accomplished this much, the House
closed the week, most fruitess in results, by
adjournment TO this noon. The Senate had
adjourned on Thursday to to-day,
The argument, If such it can be called,
urged by the advocates of the pulp and paper
monopoly, that the increase IN the price of pa
per is only that which is marked in other ar.
ticles, and means return of healthy business,
| is as weak as it is impudent.
| 1t Is to be observed that the jumping up of
values so, without parallel, in the last eight
months, is confined to such articles only as
Congress has given monopoly by prohlbi
ton IN duties that has taken them out of the
list of revenue and made them simply boun
ties While iron, steel, paper and few other
staples have gone up, wheat has not jumped
nor corn, nor any other product OF an agricul
tural origin, although such industry Is the un
derylng prosperity of the country.
Keen, active agents of the press are watch
ing carefully the progress of this contest, and
the names of the members daring to aid in
this monopoly will be duly taken down and
forwarded home for publication, so that the
papers may publish to their constituents the
wrong done. The remedy lies IN the propo,
stlon made by Senator David Davis, of Hi.
nois, to admit not only the raw material free
of duty, but the paper itself There was a cry
of free breakfast TO the poor man when the
duties on tea and coffee were abolished Now
let us have free reading for the poor man in a
land where food for the mind Is considered of
vastly more importance than stlmuants for
the stomach
1t seems to be understood that General PANE
will not retire from the direction of the Patent
Office for some time to come as there Is con.
siderable business that he desires to close up
personally There are many names mentioned
as the probable successor of General Paine
and tits very doubtful whether the right one has
been suggested. The civil-service theories OF
Secretary Schurz would lead TO the belief that
Mr.. Doolittle, the present assistant commits
siOner, gentleman well qualified and popular
in and out Of the Department would be pro
NOTED TO the position, but it is rumored that
the Sherman boom will have a prcponderat
ing influence in the selection of a commits
sloner.

One of the most striking char
acteristics of woman is her cheer
full perseverance in looking under
the bed for o man. No man in his
senses ever looks under the bed
for a woman, but there are MIL
lions of women in this country
who would find it quite Impossible
to sleep in any bed under which
they had not previously searched
for concealed man. Experience
is lost upon them. The average
unmarried woman Of forty years
of age has usually looked under
the bed at least $500 times, with.
out ever once finding the expected
man, but she is not in the least
discouraged by so long a course Of
failure; and it would be easy tc
find women of eighty or ninety
years who still nightly search to'
the man whom they have never
found.
Miss Johnson, of Evanston, Ne"
York, will hereafter be famous al
woman, whose long perseVer
ance has been signally rewarded
It would be indelicate to inquire
into her precise age, had she no

sufficiently to ease her mind, she
addressed him upon the wicked.
ness and folly of seeking to rob
| her. In vain did the man protest
| that his motives were innocent;
that he had mistaken the house.
and had merely intended to TAXI
a quiet nap under his own bed
stead, where the flies could not
find him. Miss Johnson sternl7
told him that he could not make
her believe any such nonsense,
and that she would let him
know" and would also "sbow
him."
These threats were carried out
by a renewal Of the humping pro-
cess, until the man yelled for
mercy so loudly that the neighbors
were aroused, and rushed to Miss
Johnson's house with the firm
conviction that gang of burglars
had murdered that excellent wo-
man, and were quarreling over
the division of her spoils. It was
not until strong force, armed
with clubs and hatchets, had
recklessly entered the room that
Miss Johnson surrendered her
captive, with the remark that
the sooner they took themselves
off the better, and that if any
other man would like to hide un-
der her bed, she was entirely
ready to knock a little sense into
him.
Thus this intrepid woman not
only defended herself with the
most signal success, but she
pointed out the true way to deal
with man under the bed. Most
women would have tried to poke
the man out with broom, at the
same time requesting him to
"shoo." The result would have
been to expose themselves to an
attack at a very great disadvan-
tage. Miss Johnson's plan, on
the contrary, places a man under
the bed entirely at the mercy Of q
cool and courageous woman, and
those women who may at any
time hereafter find man under
their respective beds will do we'll
10 initiate her example, and share
her well-earned glory.

you, dear Mary Mr.. Stewart said
raising her hand to his lips and
then drawing her nearer. 4 have
felt like kissing you many times
I might as we'll begin now
And before Mary could object,
the kiss was taken; and with a
merry laugh, the first she had
ever heard from Mr.. Stewart, be
drew her with him to his daugh-
ter's side.
Here my daughter, is the mo-
ther Of your kind little friend,
and she will very soon, l hope, be
your mother, too
And when Mary Fairleigh was
bending over to kiss Eleanor, Mr..
Stewart went and put his arm
around Efie, and asked:
Can you make up your mind to
welcome me with kiss: little
daughter p
Indeed l can,' said little Ed6e,
with warm kiss, and l am just
as glad as 1 can be-
Under their loving care the
widowed daughter soon grew we'll
and cheerful again and Nell's
merry laugh resounded through
out the house.
The night Of the party Efie
stayed at home. She forgot all
about it in the excitement of that
day on which Mr.. Stewart found
his daughtcr, and the next also
Then the third day it was to be,
and then it was too late TO get
ready.
How happy she wasl How
happy they both we're! The Par.
ty was quite forgotten until after
II o'clock, when Willie started
up, saying:
They will never forgive me.
But how I hate to 60. May l
come tomorrow? Will you take
a walk And in the evening we
will 60 to the opera, and-I am
selfish enough to make you prom
ise that while I am here you will
60 with no one else? Say, Efie,
promise me that, and I will 60
away contented TO night and
happy enough, too!'
Of course she promised, and
was glad enough to do it.
And, with such beginning, We
may know before a week had
passed she had promised more
than that.
Mr.. Stewart carried his wife to
their elegant home just as soon
as their daughter was we'll enough
to be removed, and that was
scarcely month after he found
her. And in the new home there
is to be q wedding right soon.
Willie doesn't believe in long en-
gagemeDts, neither do I.
you are very happy, Ehe,' her
mother said, as they were busy
in making beautiful things for
Eme's wedding.
Indeed, I am, mother. I have
been every hour since I spent my
money. Oh. mother, did ever
two pounds bring such happiness
before ?
oh, my love, it is all the re-
ward Of a pure, kind and loving

8ABY'g FIRST WORD.

SA BE'S FIRST SNORDa
BIZ PAUL q. HATEE.
We watched our baby day by day,
With earnest expectation,
To hear his infant lips unciose
In vague articulation.
But weeks, nay, weary months, passed on,
His last wee tooth had broken
From rosy gums,-yet not word,
Not one, had baby spoken.
30 Roll" cried, cit cannot be
4 child so quick and clever,
Who hears ('tis plain he hears our talk),
Should thus stay dumb forever!'
Rol answered sharply, ye1ed and red
"What wretched nonsense, Jenny!
never could have dreamed, my dear,
You'd prate like such ninny"
(Yes, that's tie term, must confess.
By which, with judgment narrow,
he dared for once,-just once, you know
To call his "winsome laarrow.")
But what cared I? since, as live,
True as my name is Jenny,
From out the cradle, clear and loud,
Came back the bad word "Ninny!"
Thence up rose baby, all aglee,
His peaceful slumbers routed,
And thrice that naughty, naughty word
He spoke, nay, almost Shouted!
Rol, glsnciEg in my startled eyes,
His mirth could scarcely smother.
But on! to think the rogue's first word
Should thus abuse his . mother!
