An Incident.

New York, 20.-A Washington cor
respondent thus describes an incident in
the House yesterday: Oscar Turner, Of
Kentucky, possesses an almost un-
exhaustible fund Of ignorance and mis-
Information IN regard to the economic
question. Some time ago he made q
free trade speech; to-day he begun again
and tried the patience Of the House an
hour or two longer. Turner had deep
design in this, which few of the mem bers
probably understood. The Kentucky
legislature recently passed law to
redistrict the state for congress
men, and in doing SO threw Turner
and Mckenzie into the same district.
Turner probably knew that Mckenzie,
who never makes more than one
speech in 8 Congress, intended to
speak to-day, and so determined, if pos
sible, to drive all members away In dis
gust, before McKenzie's turn should
come, and he almost succeeded. Nc
Kenzie had not been long on his feet,
however, before members began to stroll
in, aud soon he had q fsir-sized and
highly-amused audience. He is tall,
good-looking man, with long blonde
beard and an agreeable voice, and con-
siderable fund of broad humor. He hit
right and left, to-day, and many times
set the House into paroxysms of laugh
ter. One OF his illustrations of the in
congruities of tariff legislation was espe-
cislly enjoyed. Last year, said he, the
ways and means committee brought in
here and We passed bill to admit, free
of duty, the Bible in the Chinese Ian
guage, and at the same time we imposed
3 duty of 40 per cent. on the holy Scrip.
lures in the mother tongue; but that is
not all, for having provided for the free
admission of the Chinese Bibles, we have
turned around and declared that the Chi.
nese themselves shall not come.
There was only one man in the House |
who did not enjoy McKenzie's speech, |
and that was Turner Every time that |
shouts of laughter or applause were |
raised the iron entered deep into the soul |
Of Turner, who sat with grim, averted |
face, nervously twitching his short beard. |
When Mckenzie concluded members |
rushed from all sides of the house to con-
graduate him, and fairy overwhelmed |
him with praise. Only one man kept |
his seat and refused his congratulations, |
and that man was Turner, who sadly ar
ranged his papers in large portfolio and |
soon disappeared.

near the village of Butler, Kentucky, at
the residence OF Mr. and Mrs. Alfred

tering upon the cares, duties and respon-
sibiities of married life at the same day
and hour. At the modest but cozy home
of Mr.. Phillips courtship has been going
on for two or three years past, in which
the future happiness of Miss Celia, Miss
Hettie and Miss Lucy Phillips, the only
children of Il devoted father and mother'
was involved. Three well known young
men of the community improved the OPP
portunity, and as the result of their spark
ing six happy hearts were made by Inc
sympathetic minister as three. lhey were
married at the same time TO please their
father who was at deaths door.

Letter Postage Reduction.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November NJ
Congressman Hill, of New Jersey, is in
town. lie will be remembered as the
champion of the proposed postal reduction
measure before Congress. In conver8a-
ton to-day he said that the reduction oil
the letter rate of postage from to cents
will surely be made by Congress at the
forthcoming session. He talked earnestly
about the proposed reduction, when Is
apparently hobby of his. It is under
stood that Mr.. Hill is also an earnest adj
vocate of the proposed government postal
telegraph system. He takes the ground
that the government should first offer the
telegraph companies fair price for Their
lines, &C., ant if that is refused, to build
new lines. At any rate, he thinks the
telegraph system should be under govern
ment control, rs much so rs the postal
system.

know why it is that the authorities Of the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad are so unac-
commodating to this place. They refuse
TO sell tickets 10 passengers coming from
Hagerstown to ShcpherdstowE, or going
from here 10 Charles.own on the 2.2S p.

stop every day as it passes and know when
they get on the train at llascrstown that
it will stop here, they want to know why
they are not allowed to purchase tickets
for that train, and are charged double fare
if they DO not. The road can certainly

proceeding, and it will cost The authorities
