WASHINGTON NOTES.

Washington, March 14-Senator Hill
remarked to a friend to-day that his
life was all behind him, and that he was
simply waiting for the end. He is
temporarily easier, but his friends have
no hopes for any permanent improve
ment. 1t transpires that Hill himself
has not had much faith from the start,
of a permanent cure, as cancer has
been commonly a fatal disease in his
family.
The senate foreign committee will re-
port %favorably on the nomination of
John Russell Young as minister to Chi
ma, and G. A. Logan as minister to
Chill.
As the result of careful planning and
skillful management very gratifying
progress was made in the house of rep
resentatiyes this evening towards the
attainment of the action desired by the
Pacific coast on the Chinese question.
The house committee on foreign
affairs will begin their work of the
Chilli Peruvian investigation tomorrow
in earnest. Shipherd has been notified
that he must appear at that time, and
it is believed that he will come and tell
all he knows.
Immediately upon the passage of the
anti-polygamy bill, the legislative day
Of yesterday was closed and that of to-
day opened at $3.50 p. M, with prayer
by the chaplain. The reading of the
journal having been postponed until to-
morrow the house, on motion of Page,
of California, proceeded to the consid-
Grafton of the anti Chinese bill, substi-
tuting the senate bill for that of the
house, and Calkins, Of Indiana, adj
dressed the house.

STILL
Active Measures Taken by the Gov
eminent to Aid the Distressed.
Destitution and Suffering Unimagin-
able in the Flooded Districts.

st. Louis, March 14.-Gen. Beckwith
Of the commissary department, who
has charge of the distribution of the
government rations from this city to
the flooded districts on the lower Mis-
sippi has received the following dis
patch from Captain j. S. Lord dated
Memphis: Just arrived here, found
Premicott county, Mo-, in a distressing
condition, almost entirely submerged,
and 1000 people entirely destitute.
The supplies sent to Gayoso are being
carefully distributed and will last until
about March %. More should be sent
there. The people will be in just as
bad a condition when the water goes
down. The government, to prevent
starvation, should care for them at
least until May LIST. About so people
are destitute at Hathaway, Tenn; $50
at Tiptonville; 200 at Haler Point in
Tennessee; $50 at Bayfield, Point and
many others.
Washington, March 14.-The secre-
tary of war has received a telegram
from the state commissioners of Louisi-
ana at New Orleans as follows: Are
to supply 11,000 souls for Is days with
curtailed rations from 116, 900 received
which are nov exhaused. Application
before us for fnlly as much more and
the distress increasing. Require at
once 10000 rations additional. The
secretary has ordered the purchase of
100, 900 rations at New Orleans to meet
the demand.
Vicksburg, March 14.-News from
the overlooked districts continues to
pour in. The distress is terrible. a
steamer from the Tallahatchie and
Yazoo rivers, having left the mouth at
Coldwater, 437 miles above Vicksburg,
Sunday morning at daylight, reports
the water there five feet higher than
aver known, and still rising at the rate
of seven inches in t~wenty-four hours.
People along the T~allahatchie and va
zoo rivers are living on tops of resi-
dences and in gin lofts. In many places
the water was up to the caves of the
buildings. The horses and mules will
be pretty generally saved, but the
greater portion of all other stock will
be drowned. Barges, skiffs and other
means of relief are freely sem the suf-
ferers at different points. A very
large amount of stock and many fami-
lies arrived to-day from different local..
ties. The inhabitants of Delta, La,
are abandoning their homes as fast as
they can be removed 10 this city by
ferry boats and barges, which have
been exceedingly busy all day.

HOUSE.

Washington, March 14.-The house
passed the anti-polygamy bill by a vote
of 1879 against AZ, without amendment.
The house then at 1926, on motion of
Page, adjourned until $3.50 this after
noon.
The reading of the journal having
been postponed, the anti-C Chinese bill,
substituting the senate bill for that of
the house, vas taken up.
On motion Of King, of Louisiana, a
resolution was adopted calling on the
secretary Of war for an estimate as to
the number Of persons made destitute
by the overflow Of the Mississippi river
and its tributaries now receiving sub
sistence under his instructions, and as
to the time for which the necessity for
giving them aid will continue.
Adjourned,

Omaha, March 14.-Troops continue
guarding the laborers and there are nc
disturbances. The new grand jury il
inquirlng into the cases of the ring
leaders.
Omaha, March 14.-The coroner's
inquest over the remains of George P.
Armstrong, who was bayoneted to
death Sunday evening by a militia
man, was concluded this evening by the
jury returning a verdict to the effect
that he came to bis death by a bayonet
wound at the hands of a militiaman
while in the discharge of his duty, and
who is unknown to the jury.
Armstrong; death has caused great
indignation among labor union men,
who will attend his funeral en- masse
tomorrow. No one outside of the
militiamen knows exactly who the mill
nan was.
Walsh, president of the labor union,
threatened in a speech that if neces-
sary he would head a body of men,
march to the militia camp, demand the
surrender Of the man, and, if need be,
proceed to extremities to arrest him.
1t is suspected that the militiaman has
left town.
A special grand jury is now engaged
in inquiring into the cases of certain
rioters and ringleaders. The jury is
composed of leading citizens. The labor
union has retained eminent counsel to
defend all who may be indicted, The
labor difficulty is yet a long ways from
settlement.

A Mothers Love.

A private letter brings rs this singu.
lar story;
A widowed lady in New York gave
her only daughter in marriage to II
physician who lived in California;
The mother and daughter were deeply
attached 10 each other, and had been
inscporablc companions for years.
After the newly married couple had
gone, the mother, who was an invalid,
sank suddenly and rapidly. Tclc.
grams were sent after them urging
them to return but, us their exact
course was not known, the messages
failed to reach them.
The mother grew worse. Her pray
cr was that she might live to see her
child again, if but for II moment. On
the afternoon before her death she was
icft uionc for II few minutes, ana wnen
her attendant returned she was found
sitting up in her bed, her cheeks
illustrated, and her face Illuminated
with delight.
Have you seen Charlotte?' she ask
ed. 'Shc has just gone into the other
soom.'
Charlotte has not come, try said.
oh. yes she replied, smiin., Il
have had her in my arms, ! kissed her.
God has been so good to me, to bring
her back in time y and so talking she
sank into an exhausted slumber from
which she never awoke.
Now on this afternoon the daughter
was in Omaha, totally unaware of her
mothers illness. Her husband after
ward wrote that on that afternoon,
being in their private parlor in hotel,
she suddenly sank into deep sleep
which lasted nearly an hour. From
this she awoke pale and sobbing, say
ing she had dreamed she was with her
mother, who looked strangely i'll and
exhausted. The expression soon pass
ed away.
The coincidence, of course, can easily
be explained on natural grounds, and
yet one almost wishes that it could not
be so explained. We would like to
believe against reason that the mothers
love would be strong enough to bring
back her child for that brief moment to
ease the pain Of dcath.-[ Exchange.

4 ROMANCE on iLPRAcoMBE.

There are g0ycr and more fashion
able watering places than lliracombe,
but there are none that offer such at-
fractions to the lover Of the beautiful.
Nowhere does the sea break on such
bold rocks; nowhere are there such
deep, clear pools, such lovely sea-wccd,
such treasures of sea flowers and
aucmoncs nowhere such u shore to
ramblc on and climb over. In point
of drives and excursions inland and
along the coast there are few places like
il; but its great glory is its sea and its
rocks, its pools and its sea-weeds.
Such, too, was Gerald Mayfeld's opjn-
ion; and he appreciated it the more
because he enjoyed the beauties and
hunted for the sca-wccds and anemones
with Maud IIcneagc. They were not
old acquaintanccs. 1t was but fort
night since they had arrived from
Barnstablc upon the outside of the
coach together. So pleasant had been
that journey to the young man that he
had at once decided to stay at the
Grand Hotel, where Maud and her
mother were going to stop, instead OF
going into lodgings, as he had before
intended.
Gerald Mayicld was junior partner
in the house of Mayfield & Harper,
Australian and Cape merchants. His
father had been the head of the firm,
and at his death Gerald, who had just
left college, came into the business.
He was not thirty, n tall, strongly
built man, but with good deal Of
character and resolution in his face.
Until he saw Maud Hcneage he had
never been really in love. He had al
ways supposed that he should marry
some day Or other, but had gone on
leading quiet club life, and had been
but little in the society of women.
During this fortnight he had been al
most continually with Maud Heneage,
sometimes with her mother as com
panion, ,.sonctimcs with party of three
four others from the hotel, occasionally
by themselves, or rather chaperoned
only by Mrs. Heneage, sitting on the
rocks in the distance reading. By the
end of that time he loved her with all
his heart, but as yet he had hardly
even begun to wonder whether she
would in time come to love him.
Before breakfast Gerald always went
for his swim, walking round to the
cove, and coming back by the row.
boat across to the pier. He was
strong swimmer, and his custom was
to swim out through the mouth of the
little inlet into the rougher water out
side. One morning bather went out

ward. That fellow will be getting in
to NESS Gerald said to himself.
The tide is running up and he will
find difficulty in getting back again.
Keeping hundred yards or so out, as
was his custem, for about ten minutes,
Gerald turned toward the mouth of the
cove, not having given a second
thought to the swimmer who had pre-
ceded him. Just as he was opposite to
the great rocks at the entrance he heard
shout far behind him. He stopped
to listen, and again the shout for help
came distinctly to his ears.
i thought that fool would get into
scrape,' he muttered, turning round
and making off with long, steady,
even stroke in the direction of the man,
whose head he could see nearly three
hundred yards out, giving loud shout
