an ancient and abandoned country, to
the great republic of Africa, to be set

AT Nevada foundry the other day a
large casting for the centre of a balance
wheel, to be used at the Yellow Jacket
works, was made. The huge iron disk,
which weighed twenty-three tons, was
fourteen feet in diameter. To reach
the Yellow Jacket it was necessary for
the casting to pass through two railroad
tunnels. The tunnels are only thirteen
feet wide, and, therefore, the casting
has become white elephant. .-Phila.

Out in Milwaukee the other day a
young woman had spat with her lover.
She ran to her room and got some arse
mic, which she swallowed, in melodra-
matte way, in the presence Of her be-
trothed. The girl was in the hands of
the doctors for day or two, and after
being as near death as possible, with
out dying, she recovered. Upon her
recovery she admitted that she had no
thought of suicide, her object being to
frighten her lover, The latter's hat no

for short, said that he was handling a
patent medicine; that he wanted our
friend to introduce it, and that he had
always paid men who worked for him,
opening box and putting into it S25.
Now said he, ARE you willingto give
me S15 for that?' Almost anyone
would be foolish enough to do that,
was the answer. The trade was made

was opened there was no money there. -

Comfort and Relief for the Afflicted

At last there has been an article
found which is certain cure for all
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Difficult
Breathing and all affections of the
Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs,
leading to Consumption, which is known
as "HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND
AND TAR This remedy is compoun-
ded from the favorite recipe of DR.. Hale
a celebrated physician of Europe, who
for many years used it with the most
complete success in his extensive pri-
vate practice. The beauty of this med
icine is that the patient is not obliged
to continue taking it for weeks before
receiving any benefit, but on the con-
trary, the first few doses give relief.
One bottle is sufficient to cure any or
dinary Cough or Cold, AMI from six
to twelve bottles cure the worst cases.

HOUSE.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The resolution
was referred for one hour daily after the
morning hour to be set aside during
which members may ask unanimous
consent for the passage of bills.
The ways and means committee re-
considered the vote to report the Hurd
tariff resolution adversely and then
postponed the matter until month
from to-day by a vote of 6 to A.
Frye, from the subcommittee, re-
ported substitute for Representative
Kelley's bill to abolish the discriminat-
ing duties on goods from the east.
The Indian appropriation bill was re-
ported with the senate amendments,
the committee recommending concur
renee in the same ;the clause for abolish
ing the. Indian commission was re-
tained. The report was agreed to.
The apportionment bill. was con-
sidered.
Cox offered an amendment fixing the
number of representatives at 307.
Ordered printed and considered pend
ing.
Sherwin, member of the census com.
mittee, took the floor on the bill. There
was no reason that the apportionment
should not be made this season, since
all data were in on which TO make cal.
culation, and comparing the various
bills which have been proposed, he
showed that at 307, the number first
suggested by Cox. the democratic states
would gain eight representatives and
lose two, a net gain of six. The repub-
lican states would gain ten and lose
eight, a net gain Of two. At the num-
Der selected by majority of the COM
mittee, 81, the democratic states would
gain twelve and lose none; the republi-
can states would gain ten and lose four,
net gain of six. AT 319 the number
recommended by the minority, the
democratic and republican states would
each gain thirteen representatives. He
argued in support of the latter bill, con-
tending that automatically as well as
politically it meted exact justice to
every portion of the country. The bill
under consideration purposed giving
greater strength to the south. For one
he was fully determined to oppose the
measure first, last and all time, and
that, too, with all the means that kind
providence and parliamentary law
would permit.
McLane denied that the south
wanted the negroes disfranchised and
said they would have freer vote here
after than heretofore. Since Hayes

pleased. daughter by the republicans.
