The Pay OF Absent Senators.

A special despatch from Washington
says: Secretary Burch, Of the Senate,
has decided to test the question wheth-
era Senator can spend by far the
largest portion Of his time at home and
still draw his full pay upon appearing
in Washington. Senator Sharon came
rather unexpectedly today, but
whether for visit or legislative bust.
ness it is not yet known. He was en-
gagged in showing friends about the
city. Secretary Burch says that in
case he applies for his back pay he
will decline to let him have it until
he can receive a formal opinion in re-
gard to the legality of such payment
from the First Comptroller Of the
Treasury and probably also from the
Senate Committee on the Judiciary.
The law is very explicit on this sub
llect, though through custom 1t has
oeen allowed in fact to become dead
letter. 1t is made the duty Of the Sec
fetary Of the Senate to deduct from the
pay OF Senators proper proportion for
eVery day they are absent for other
cause than sickness. II has become
sne practice to overlook this law in the
case Of absences Of reasonable length,
nut no other such case as that of Sena-
Or Sharon's has been presented Of

A Produce ExcnunKe De1rnude0.
Frauds on the Produce Exchange Of
New York, TO the amount Of $3l, 900
have been discovered. The defaulter
was Benjamin G. Bogsrt, who had been
Treasurer OF the Exchange for many
years, and was highly respected mers
chant in whom general confidence was
felt. Mr.. Bogert did not appear at the
Exchange or at his Office after the dis
oovery was made, and died suddenly
yesterday afternoon at the house Of a
friend in this city. It Is thought that
unable to bear his disgrace, he may
have committed suicide. The disclosure
OF the defaloation was due to the deter
of the Finance Committee of
the Produce Exchange to transfer the
account Of the Exchange from one bank
to another. Mr.. Bogert is supposed to
have used the money which he took in
his private business.

De GoIyer GarGeId's ..Pinafore'' Song.


When was n boy scarce went to school,
But bOssed the career Of a towpath mule;
I urged him from spring till late in the fall
To pull big boat on the raging canawl.
My urging that mule was so ef-h-ci-ent,
That now I'm a candidate for President.
l rolled up my trousers as high as could be
And relied on that mule to educate me;
[ soon learned many of his tricks and ways,
Which helped me much at the counting in ofHayes
At the counting in such an Instrument,
That now I'm Il candidate for President.
As older grew to religion 1 turned,
The ways Of the Pious l speedily learned
l learned to preach, and learned to pray,
And learned TO hide what carried away.
This learning l used with such good intent,
That now I'm a candidate for President.
1 went to the war, and came home again,
But stayed long enough to write myself Cen
When bullets were flying about free,
I though that Congress would better suit me.
That Congress suited was evident,
hor now I'Ra a candidate for President.
When held the strings Of the public purse
1 might have done better, but not much worse;
1 grabbed at the left, and grabbed at the right,
And never missed n job that came in sight.
Ny grabbing was known as so cx-cel-leRt
That now I'm candidate for President
My party L saved from sudden perditioR
BY counting In Hayes to his present position.
And now hjs successor I'll be, no doubt,
Unless the people shall count me out.
Ny chances l fear, are not worth n cent,
Although il candidate for President.

LEARN \ TRADE--One Of the evils Of to-
day is the evil disposition of parents to make
professional men out Of their boys. Every
boy who is a graduate of the high school, OF
i'm fact of any other school, is regarded as
model of intelligence by his fond and affec-
tionate parents, and is at once set down for
one Of the learned professions, which, in nine
cases out of ten, he is totally untitled for,
and eventually his Is a miserable existence.
The bows should learn trades. What we
need in this country is intelligent mechanics.
A good mechanic is far better of than one
horse lawyer or doctor. The trouble nova
days is that the young men are desirous of
commencing business where their fathers
left off. They seem to regard all kinds of
trades as mcnial They would rather stand
behind a counter at a salary of three dollars
a week than earn fifteen behind mechanic 5
bench. This is all wrong The tendency of
this false pride is to make professional loaf
ers ont of our boys. 4 boy who has learned
a trade has a capital that cannot be taken
from him. He is always independent. Pa
rents who have any regard for the welfare of
their children viii have them to learn trades.

fight occurred at the bridge Wednesday
afternoon, which brought out a crowd, includ-
ing the city council, en- masse. No bones
broken.
The bridge across the Minnesota is now
mpleted and works like charm. The bridge
proper is d Pratt truss, $40 feet in length, con
sisting of two spans of l59 feet each, and the
swing draw 1872 feet. The structure is %
feet high, Is feet roadway in the clear, and
rests upon five piers pronounced by competent
Judges as coed masonry as is to be found in the
State. The bridge is approached from either
bank by substantial treste work, the whole
covered with substantial white oak planking.
The draw span has been located on the Nicollet
county side, to which the channel of the river
is being changed and permanently confaed.
The bridge and approaches cost S2S, 0U0 and,
fortunately for our people, WIS contracted
when iron was at its lowest price. To-day it
could not be duplicated for less than 40,00O.
The work has been done by the Canton
Wrought Iron Bridge company, and notwith-
pany has not sighted the work in any partic.
ular, but every feature is well and faithfully
done.
An insane man from the vicinity of Lake
Crystal created considerable excitement here
Wednesday. Two men had him in charge and
were taking him to st. Peter. Just before
train time he got away from them and started
at lively GAM down Second street, proclaim
ing that ''they were all killed" He gave the
men lively chase through the mud ankle
deep, and at the same time they were shouting,
stop that man; he's crazy" which announce
ment made lookers-on suddenly inclined to
view the race from distance. Arriving at the
Sioux City depot, he rushed in and requested
that the door be locked Immediately. Mr..
G. E. Smith, the telegraph operator, supposed
he had been fighting and had concluded to live
and fight another day by making a sudden
exit from the scene. He soon discovered,
however. that the man was insane. Mr.. Stow
ers entered the room and, seeing a man there,
evidently preparing to fight. was inst about to
use the ticket STAN to gently stamp him in
the head. He was informed that the man was
not responsible for his actions and to beware.
After some difficulty they induced him to get
on the train and just as it started he jumped
off, persistently announcing the startling intel
Ggence that they were all killed" When he
vacated the train his keepers were obliged to
leave too, and the consequence was they were
all let.
