WARRINGTON NOTES.

Orders have been issued for the mon
itors Montauk and Nantucket to get in
readiness for sea service.
The conference committee on the
river and harbor bill failed to agree.
The committee adjourned till Tuesday.
Walker Blaine has been appointed
assistant counsel on behalf of the Unit
ed States before the court commission
on Alabama claims.
There is good reason to think that
Barrios, dictator, or president of Qua
tamala as he terms himself, is here on
a hlibustering mission.
Mr.. j.. j. Newell has again brought
up in Washington his thrice told tale of
the bribery of thirty congressman by
the Southern Pacific road.
Yesterday the house passed the
senate bill opening to the settlement of
lands in Colorado lately occupied by
the Uncompahgre and White River
Utes.
The house bill directing the payment
to Mrs. Lucretia A. Garfield of $50, 900,
less any sum already paid out, on &C.
count of the late presidents salary,
passed.
The attorney decides that the secre-
tary of the treasury cannot allow trans
portation companies to take go, 900 Chi.
nese through this country from Cuba
to China.
The house bill to provide additional
industrial training schools for Indian
youth, and authorizing the use of un.
occupied military barracks for such
purposes, has passed the house.
Attorney General Brewster has decid-
ed in the question of Geo. VIM. Curtis
and Representative Hubbell, regarding
political assessments, that Congressman
are not United States officers, and that
a gift to them for campaign purposes
does not fall within the statute, and the
cabinet will consider the matter next
Tuesday.
The letter OF J. j. G. Newell making
charges of bribery in connection with
the passage of the Texas Pacific land
grant bill in 800 and 10, has not
attracted much attention here. Newell
will be examined by the judiciary COM
mittee Tuesday to learn what proofs he
possesses of the truth Of his ACCUSE
tions.
1t is stated that the secretary is pre-
pairing to make important changes in
the management of Indian bureau af-
fairs, and among them will be the re-
moval of the assistant secretary of the
interior, Alonzo Bell. Those to whom
have been conided the outlines proposed
in the Indian policy speak in high terms
of it.

passed, and one of the years was that of 1851 which
was phenomenal for prosperity to the anthracite
coal trade. Yet instead of Mr. Governs pre-
dictions being fulfilled, the floating debt
of the Reading Company was increased,
even during 1881, several millions OF dollars.
Nevertheless it is true that there are many persons
and among them those who make up the Philadel-
phia clques III Reading and Central of New-Jersey
stocks who have faith that by some sort of device
Mr. Goweu will he successful abroad in placing some
kind of a loan that will for the moment relieve the
company of its floating debt. The faith seems to be
of the chmerical kind but it is factor in the pres
ent speculative situation. The market finally
closed weak at near the lowest prices of the day.
The business in Government bonds at the Board
amounted only TO $4,000, and at the oficse of the
large dealers it equally dull Prices however.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-01-27

He was fresh young Congressman
from rural district, and when he got to
Washington he found every other men,
Der had private secretary, so he hired
one. But, though fresh, he was energetic
and man of vigorous ideas. One day
he said to his secretary: "Mr. Skeels, to-
morrow ] shall speak on the tariff ques-
tion." "To morrow said the secretary,
"thats rather short time, but Iguess |
can do it Which side are you on?' "The
free trade side, sir" The secretary left
the room, and the Congressman was
rather puzzled to comprehend his re-
mark. Next morning, bright and early,
his secretary appeared and handed him
a paper. "What is this?' asked the mem
ber. "Your speech!" "My speech?" Eyes;
I've written out what you've got to say
on the tariff issue" 'You miserable
wretch" cried the enraged member, "do
you assume to dictate what | shall say?"
He drove the amazed secretary into the
street, and would hear no explanation.
Indignant, he went down to the capitol
and told a friend, an old member, the
story. The friend was shocked at the
fellows impudence but they looked over
the speech and it read very WELL "You
did just right to discharge the conceited
rascal" said the old member, and, the
next day, the young member, was a.
mazed to learn that the discharged sec
retary had been employed by his old
friend.-BoSton Post.

A Well Selected Jury.

Down in an extremely rural district
of Arkansas an old man was ar
rested for stealing hog. The proof
was positive, and the Court was sur
prised when the plea of not guilty was
introduced. The lawyer for the defence
a man well known for his trickery rather
than his ability, seemed particularly de-
sirous of selecting jury that would not
show partiality in its decision. The
prosecuting attorney, young and mex
perienced man, agreed to every juryman
selected by the defence, and the Judge,
although he might have thought the
defence stepped over the bounds of ju-
dicial courtesy, said nothing. The argu-
ments were concluded, leaving in the
MINDS of the people no doubt as to the
verdict, for one of the witnesses, a man
whose word no one could dispute, swore
that he saw the defendant when he stole
the animal The Jury retired, and, af-
ter few moments, returned a verdict
of not guilty, in exact opposition to the
charge of the Court.
When the court adjourned, the Judge
approached the lawyer for the defence
and remarked =
'Look here, my friend, l never heard
of such a verdict. l cannot, as an i'm
partial disseminasor of justice, allow so
hagrant an outrage to be perpetrated on
this community. That man is as guilty
as Judas, but if you tell me the secret
of the acquittal, III allow the verdict to
pass"
"You see, Judge, some of the jurymen
were rather young and some rather OIL
der" ...,..
"Yes, but what does that signify 2"
at signifies that l ran in the old man s
twelve sons on the jury"

The POlled-Angus Boom.

The coming cattle for beef are of the
polled-Angus breed. They are selling
for higher prices here and abroad than
cattle of any other breed, and the opin-
ion is quite general that the animals
that bring the highest prices are the best.
AT present it is difficult to determine
whether the high prices paid for polled-
Angus cattle is due to their superior
merit or to the fact that they are fash
ionable in breeding circles. Men of large
means, who breed cattle for pleasure, are
fond OF obtaining something that is rare
and which cannot be procured by every
person who keeps stock. That the polled-
Angus cattle possess great merit as beef
producers cannot be questioned by the
admirers of the Herefords and short
horns. They have taken too many prizes
at the Smithfield fat stock show not to
have well deserved reputation. 1t is
claimed for them, among other things,
that they are very hardy, and consequent
ly well adapted to the western plains,
that their flesh is highly favored, and
that they furnish more meat according
to their weight than animals of any other
breed. If all these claims are well sub
stantiated it is time to consider the ad-
visibility of changing our breed of beef
cattle. Attaching particular merit to
the circumstance of their having no
horns appears to be mainly nonsense.
