GENERAL GRANT IN CONGRESS.

0PSSAoA3 4otAs
There was dramatic scene in the
house this afternoon when General Grant
entered. A dreary debate was in pro-
gress on the pension appropriation bill.
He appeared at the north door, escorted
by Mr.. Fort, of Illinois. He advanced
down the aisle few steps and took
vacant seat. Few knew of his dlstin-
guished presence, and when Mr.. Fort
asked for a recess of ten minutes. there
were cries for "the regular order from
those who did not know. the purpose of
the request. The speaker put the sques-
ton whether the house should take O.
recess of ten minutes toshake hands with
General Grant, and there was loud and
unanimous "Yea" from the republican
side, and including most of the democrats.
When the negative was put there were
a few confused "noes" from the democrat
ic side. General Grants bearing was
thoroughly modest and unassuming.
Speaker Randall advanced to General
Grant, took him by the hand, and escor-
ted him to the front of the speakers
stand where the members crowded around
and shook hands with him. Every re-
publican came forward, and all but about
one dozen democrats. The southern
men say that majority of those who vo.
ted mo" were northern democrats. Their
conduct is regarded rs rather small
| General Grant remained at the capital
about two hours.
The senate like the house, took a re.
cess of ten minutes to allow the senators
an opportunity Of paying General Grant
a brief honor. Altogether his visit. wet
the event of the day at the capital.

THE s1usss BOY.
Remarkable Occurrences In an Eventful

remarkable Occurrences In an Eventful
Career Of Thirteen Years.
Earl Herschel Barnum Stubbs is a
carrier boy in the employ of the Press
and Dakotaian. His life has thus far
been exceedingly brief, but full of ad-
venture. The record of his career is one
OF startling episodes and he lives to tell
the tale. "A short time ago stovepipe
fell in the Press and Dakotaian count
ing room, and the unlucky Stubbs boy
was standing where he caught an ava
lanche of SCOT IN his eyes, which pre-
vented him from seeing for several days.
In time he recovered. Being engaged

CURED to. the unfortunate youth to
write a detailed account of his startling
experiences, He left the manuscript
upon the counter of our Office, and 1t
seems almost too startling to consign to
the oblivion of the waste basket. This
is the story of the Stubbs boy, written
by himself:
lwas born on January 81, 1867, in Far
ibault county, state of Minnesota. When
l was six months old I got badly scalded
with hot water. The next accident that
happened me was when I was about one
year. 1 fell in we'll where the water
was about ten feet deep, and before my
Oldest brother could rescue me was al
most drowned. But I was not used up
yet. When I was six years old we start
ed to move from Minnesota to Yankton
by wagons. We drove several head of
stock to Yankton and walked some
times ten or fifteen miles day to drive
the stock, because would rather walk
than ride. We came through several
small towns in Iowa. I saw some elk
with bells on. The next accident that
happened to me I caught hold of
the cars when they were going
and they threw me down against tie
and 1 was knocked senseless, so the man
said that picked me up. The next thing
that happened I jumped in some hot
ashes that had been thrown out of a lime
kiln and burned my feet SO the skin
come off them. I had to lie on my back
for three weeks. Two weeks ago 1 was
up the Press and Dakotaian office and
the stove pipe fell down. It struck me
on the head and filled my eyes with SCOT,
binding me SO I could not see for three
days. Notwithstanding all these .acci-
dents I still live. believe must have
been born for some special purpose, or
should have been used up long ago.

A Grave Intrusion.

Dublin, Dec. 2O.-The Freeman's Jour-
nal says the suppression of the meeting
at Cailowhile, Saturday, was one of the
gravest intrusions on public rights and
liberty that was ever committed, and
accuses the government Of postponing
the announcement of it's intention to
suppress the meeting to the last mo-
ment, SO as to provoke acollision with
the troops. '

The APPROPRIATIONS.

Washington, Dec. 1G.-In conversation
with members of the appropriation CON-
mittee, 1t is learned that it is not the
policy of the present session to make ex-
.travagant appropriations, or to even
increase them over the figures Of last
year, except in fewinstances. The an
nuai cry from the departments for in
crease of salaries will not be needed, ex-
cept in very few instances, A member
Of the committee remarked to-day that
he did not think a refusal to increase
salaries would be followed by an avail
anche of designations. AS rule, clerks
and officials in the department are now
paid higher salaries than they could earn
in the ordinary walks Of life, when
brought into active competition with
their fellow man. The average income
Of doctors, lawyers, and ministers in the
United States is about $3.50, while the
average pay of government employees, ex-
cept postmasters of the third and fourth
classes, is about 81, 700, showing the Off
cials to be very decidedly favored class,
at the expense Of the mass of the peo-
pie.
