into Committee on Revision Of Rules. Mr..
Reagan, rising TO a question of personal
privilege, sent to the Clerks desk and had
read an article in the New York St4n of the
41th inst. stating that he, as chairman of
the Committee on Commerce, had involved
himself in trouble in regard to the inter
state commerce bill, and that he had charged
that improper influence had been used to
defeat his bill, and that the Speaker had
stocked the committee so as to insure its
defeat. He declared that statement to be
gross perversion of the truth, which showed
desire to heap odium on him. Mr..

HERE is YOUR SCANDAL.
A Husband Comes Home Before He is Ex.
pected and Asks for a Divorce.
Leadville Democrat

Michael Donlan and Thomas Short
have been employed in Grants smelter
since last spring. Until about three
weeks ago they were both day hands and
worked side by side, but since then Short
has been on nights, and they have not
seen much of each other, for while one
worked the other slept. Soon after this
change took place, Mr.. Short says he dis
covered marked improvement in the
amiability of his wife. She had not
been particularly noted for her affection
towards her husband, although for two
years she had been to him an excellent
wife. But when he began to be at work
all night, her affections were strengthen
ed and when her Thomas came home in
the morning she would throw her arms
about his neck and tell him as near as
she could how much she loved him and
how lonesome she had been all night,
Thomas says he was pleased with the
change and more than once cursed him
self for not going on as night hand be-
fore. His meals were better cooked, the
cottage was more tidy, his shirt buttons
stopped coming off, and altogether, as d
night hand, he was about as happy man
as Leadville could turn In.
Night before last something gave out
or some slight change was unexpectedly
made, and at about - o'clock Thomas
had nothing i'll particular to do but to 20
home and glve his affectionate wife q
happy surprise. OF course his deai
Eliza would be sound asleep, nor would
he be guilty OF making her Jump out of q
warm bed to unbolt the door, so he goes
around to the kitchen window, and was
about half way in when a masculine
voice, which sounded very much like
that of his friend Donlan, cries out from
his wife's bedroom "Who's there?'
Thomas said back in voice that ht
would like to hear that question an
swered himself by the other party. JUS
then Thomas says, the front door flew
open and streak of something which
looked like man going somewhere in {
hurry, passed out into the night. Thomas
struck light and found pair of boots
hat and pretty good overcoat in hi
wife's bedroom, neither of which wa
ever his before, so near as he can re
member. The affectionate wife did no
seem quite SO glad to see him as when h,
came later.
Yesterday the two were about the city
taking legal advice as to the most appro
pirate mode of getting Donlan locked a

Then and Now.

Owing partly to the improvement in
tools and shop appliances, and partly to
the system Of subdivision of labor, there
is no parallel by which the workman of
to-day can be gauged or compared with
the workman of thirty or forty years ago.
Then the apprentice was taught
crudely, perhaps, but still taught-all
the mysteries of his calling, from the
preparation of the crude material to the
finish of the completed result. The
carpenter hewed his timber from the
tree trunk or limb by means of chalk
line and broadaxe. He bored, and NOR
tised, and cut lemons, erected the frame
of the building, boarded and shingled.
and clapboarded and lathed. The
blacksmith shod horses and oxen, tired
wheels, made bolts and nuts, Clipped
and filed and drilled, forged and tenn
pered axes and chisels, and performed
numberless jobs of variety of forms
and for variety of purposes. The ma
chiHist sometimes made his own pat
terms and often his own tools, worked
| at the wise and the planer, the lathe and
| the forge, and was ready to undertake
| any job, from repairing a broken stove
to building an engine.
Our venerable contemporary, the Bos-
IOu VOtTTttec " OUHtHt6T' T., IeuleuDeTS
when the above practice was universal.
We congratulate it on surviving to see
all this changed. Now timber is sawed
and not hewed; mortises and lemons are
machine cut; houses are built by the
| shinglers, the fathers and the joiners, as
well as by the carpenters; and the doors,
windows, window and door frames and
sashes are factory built. The horse
shoer does nothing else. The forger of
steel seldom works iron. The tool
maker is nothing but tool maker The
machinist is bench man, lathe man,
planer, filter, or he has speciality
in cotton machinery or woolen, or never
works but on steam machinery. .-Scien

Words of Wisdom.

Youth looks at the possible, age at the
probable.
Charms strike the sight, but merit
wins the soul.
No man ever looked on the dark side
of life without finding it.
One should seek fol others the happi-
ness one desires for ones self.
Truth is the foundation of all knowl-
edge, and the cement of all societies.
They that laugh at everything, and
they that fret at everything. are alike
fools.
No manner of speaking is so offensive
as giving praise and closing it with an
exception.
As the FREELY only shines W hen on the
wing, so it is with the human mind
when at rest it darkens.
How many are there like Atalanta in
the fable, who lost the Iace by stopping
to pick up the golden apple.
Pleasant occupation tends to prolong
life. for longevity is much dependent
upon the feelings of the mind.

AS the sun appears largest when he
is about to set, SO does the proud man
swell most magnifcently just before his

Real merit of any kind cannot long be
concealed; it will be discovered, and
nothing can depreciate it but mans ex-
hibiting it himself.
Leisure is time for doing something
useful; this leisure the dihgent man will
obtain, but the lazy man never; so that,
Poor Richard says: 6 A life of laziness
and leisure are two things"
He is most secure of life who lives for
his fellows. One lives through all
periods who has in all periods lived for
his race. We must see humanity
through our ambition always, if we
would make and perpetuate that life
which consists in an undying reputa-
ton.
