WASHINGTON ITEMS.

The House Committee on the Ju- dietary has agreed to suspend the inves- tigation into MT. Ecklin's conduct until he returns from his visit to Louisiana, whither he has gone to look after re- nomination. The nominating convention will meet next month. Every member of the Louisiana delegation excepting MT. Ellis has left for the convention.
 MT. Townshend, of Illinois, rather startled the House by moving to suspend the rules and pass his Tariff bill, the reference to which caused such wrangle a fortnight ago. This bill provided for the removal of duties on salt, printing type, printing paper and the chemicals and materials used ill the manufacture of paper. The vote stood: Yeas, 113 i; nays 80, not a sufficient vote to suspend the rules. It, serves, however, to show that a decided majority of the House is in favor of putting the articles mentioned on the free list, and that MT. Town shend's bill will pass the House if it should ever be reported from the Ways and Means Committed. The opinion generally prevails that had some one moved to suspend the rules on a bill to put wood-pulp on the free list itfwould have passed.

" Singing Joseph"

It is well known fact that 6 stammerer can sing without difficulty, though he can't speak six words without stuttering. The fact explains this incident: =. When the supper was on the table, l suggested that we wait for his father and mother to come before we should eat supper. The poor fellow immedi- ately piped up in plaintive strain:
 "Theyn not come when the rain is falling,
 Falling, falling, falling, falling
 They're at Deacon Potter's calling,
 Calling calling, calling, calling"
 While still singing he seated himself at the table, and motioned me to draw up opposite him. After pouring the tea as handily as a woman, he turned to me and sang still different tune;
 "Will you please, sir, ask blessing,
 On the bread and meat and pudding,
 On the bread and meat and pudding,
 Will you please, sir, ask blessing?"
 Much surprised, and ashamed that I had not anticipated the request, said grace, and, much treasured by the little incident, made hearty supper
 After my strange companion had done up the chores, and made everything snug for the night, he sat down in the corner of the fireplace and looked at me steadily. His fixed regard made me nervous again, and said somewhat i'm patiently:
 "Why are you so obstinate as to an- swer me in this saucy, sing-song way whenever speak to you?" The tears rushed quickly to the youths eyes; be essayed to speak, but, although he made the most frantic effort, he could not utter Q word.
 Soon he recovered himself, to my great relief, for thought he was going into ( fit, and to my astonishment, sang more musically than ever: | "Don't you see, sir, how I stutter2 | I can neither talk nor mutter; So God lets me sing my say, ! And Ithank Him every day"
 Inever felt so chagrined in my life as when I found out the truth in regard te the poor fellow. It was good lessor to me. I have never formed hasty judgment since.
 "Snging Joseph" he is called, and conversed with him until late hour I found him very intelligent, although his ideas, always without moments hesitation on his part, set themselves tt music, some of the strains the sweetes and most pleasant I ever heard.

ViciSSitude.

Not a very great while since, in cot tage on one of the more rural streets of Detroit, young wife, who had just come home from visit of three weeks in the country, was saying to her hus- band, "Tom, this little home of ours is the pleasantest home in the world. l have seen nothing like it. l never want to live anywhere else"
 Just then she heard shout, and she added: "But there must be some get ting rid of the children about here they need thinning out badly; they are such nulisances."
 At that moment some one, with hair singed and. 'blackened face, looking Q masquerader, rushed in exclaiming, '" Your house. is on fre," and in less than fifteen minutes nothing but charred tin ders was left of it.

A Bad Girl to Marry.

A bad daughter, says an exchange, seldom makes good wife. If girl is lll-tempered at home, snarls at her pa- rents, snaps at her brothers and sisters. and " "shilks " her ordinary duties, the chances are ten to one that when she gets home of her own she will make it wretched. There are girls who fan cy themselves so far superior to their pa- rents that the mere privelege of enjoying their society in the house ought to be all the old people should have the assurance to ask. While their mothers are busy with domestic duties they sit in the easiest chair or lie on the softest sofas, feeding on cheap and trashy novels, and cherish the notion that they are very literary individuals. The household drudgery is too coarse for such ladies as they. Girls of this sort are generally very anxious to be married that they may escape the disagreeableness of home, where they are held more or less under subjection. A caller, who doesn't have chance to see how they behave as daughters, may be excused for fancying them lovely and lovable beings; but one who does see it is foolish if he commits himself by offering marriage to girl of this sort. If she will not assist her mother in the domestic labors, is she not likely to be equally slothful and ill-tem- pered when she marries? If she now thinks herself too fine to work, is it safe to expect that her views as to that mat ter would radically change if she became a wife ?-IToy Press.

EDMUND YATES, speaking of the recent gambling at Newmarket, says: "The gambling transactions of that portion of society, termed by pleasing fiction le jeanesse doree, have been of late years marked by 'child's play It has been a pretenoe of gaming which our fathers and grandfathers would have laughed to scorn. For instance, we are startled one morning by hearing that MT. Deuceace has won 927, ,000 from Capt. Brag at q late seance at ecarte the previous night. The fortunate Deuceace is a three days wonder. Men point him out to their fellows in St. James's street, and his creditors rub their hands and rejoice. Presently the question is heard, What will he get? Will he get half? Will he get quarter? Will he get anything? Unfortunate Deuceace The thousands vanish into space; and Capt. Brag, after temporary retirement, is heard of at Monte Carlo, where fortune seems to be favoring him."
