The house committee on n appro-
priations to day Is decided ITO
incorporate in the special de-
feiency, bill an item of
100000 for the payment Of
United States marshals and
deputies, without any provisc
or restrictions, and instructed Rep
resentative Mcmahon TO report the
bill at once to the house. -- --
Mr., Kelley (Pa.) rose to question
the privilege, and sent to the clerk s
desk and had read an article, from
the Evening Bulletin Of the 10th
inst, detailing the alleged conver-
sation between Nat. Mckay and
himself on the subject Of the sugar
bill. He wanted to state to the
house that for the first time in nine
teen years he had been cor-
ruptly approached for the purpose
of controlling his vote in the com
mittee on ways and means and in
the house. A member of the au-
dacious lobby had told him that he
was acting in disregard to the sens
timents of his people, to which he
had replied that though prayers
had passed over his head, he was
still able to take care of himself. z
The speaker then proceeded to
call the the committees for reports.
The senate to-day confirmed the
following nominations To be SUI

Cost of Bringing up a Boy.

A clergyman who has been discours-
ing about boys has devoted considerable
attention to the cost Of these somewhat
necessary individuals, and he estimates
the expense Of bringing a good boy, what
all the advantages Of city life, to the age
Of fifteen, at about $4,000. These figures
are about doubled by the time the boy
is Of age, if he goes through college A
bad boy, arrived at the age mentioned,
costs fully as much, even if he has not
been to college, and the computation, as
the reverend gentleman suggests, does
not include the value Of the mothers
tears and the fathers gray hairs. Most
men who have brought up boys will agree
that the estimate is not too high.

II Can't Bear to Hear any one
Sing It."

Little Hughie, boy eight years old
when at his music lesson one day with his
teacher, was playing the hymn, "Safe in
the Arms Of Jesus" When he had
finished it he said to her, IT cant bear to
hear any one sing that hymn"
Why not?" asked the teacher.
" Because" he answered, 81 cant help
feeling that I am not Safe in the Arms
Of Jesus, and then he covered his face
with his hands and began to cry.
1t was long time before his teacher
could comfort him, or get him to listen
to her. but after awhile his sobs grew
quieter.
" Hughie, she said, "there is no rea-
son why you should not be safe too what
is it that keeps you away from Jesus
now?"
Hughie thought moment and then
answered, The sin in my heart.
Yes" replied his teacher, who saw
that Hughie was looking for feeling
in his heart Of being better, instead of
trusting just as he was in the Lord "and
you want to get rid of that before you
can feel that you are safe in His arms,
don't your
Now Hughie was the son Of Christian
parents, and he had often been told about
the Lord, and how he died to save us
but he could not yet say, Jesus has
saved me" So his teacher reminded
him Of all Jesus had done for him, that
his sins might be washed away and
Hughie listened, thinking to himself II

all about it.
But presently his teacher asked him,

pier, truer, more telling the style will be.
The advice which the great preacher
gives for conduct holds not less for all
kinds of writing: "Aim at things, and
your words will be right without aiming.
Guard against love of display, love of
singularity, love of seeming original
Aim at meaning what you say, and say
ing what you mean" When a man who
is full of his subject, and has matured his
powers of expression, sets himself to speak
thus simply and sincerely, whatever there
is In him of strength or sweetness, of dig
nifty or grace, of humor or pathos, will
ind Its way out naturally into his Ian
guage. That language. will be true to
his thought, true to the man himself

to believe on him, and you will be safe 81
Hughie was quiet little time, and then
told his teacher he would think about
what she had said, and went on with his
music. That night, when she went to
read to him after he was in bed, she said,
well, Hughie, are you Safe in the
arms OF Jesus yet?" and he answered,

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

kilograms published in this issue state
that majority Of the House subcommittee
on railroads and majority Of the Senate
Committee ON Railroads, are opposed to
granting an extension Of tho Land Grant
to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
The senate Committee is frank enough TO
confess its approval can DO purchased BY =
favorable report on the Texas Pacific bill;
the House Committee does not intimate Its
price. We are of those who hold that the
Northern Pacific Lend Grant has SO far
been an unmixsd evil to Montana-well
symbolizsd by the eighty mile-wide shadow
that on the maps envelopes its projected
line the entire length Of the Territory, aud
which has laid like blight upon it for eight
years. This grant Is about I'd expire by
limitation aud In default OF the CONSIDER
alton the Northern Pacific Company osli-
gated itself to give therefor. The question
arises, shoald it bc renewed? We say,con-
ditionally, yes. The considerations which
induced the original grant exist now IS
then. There are others that have since
entered into the case. Tbs failure OF the
Company to complete the road under the
