WAsHIsGroS, February 2.-In the Senate,
the discussion of the funding bill occupied
most of the day, the question being upon
the Plumb amendment applying all the
reserve except 800, 100000 to the payment
of government bonds which, after consid-
cradle discussion, was voted down. The
question then turned on the resolution of
Mr.. Hoar, declaring the action of Secretary
Window valid. On this the discussion was
extremely warm. Vest criticized the Sec
retary's action in his caustic way, claiming
that il was without authority of law, and
one for which the country would hold the
party responsible. The act vas done, and

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
snlt the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond ell
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
,ars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
K,ssss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
ssc. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Uhio.-I,s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to the saving Of much of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving letter from one of the B. & o.
Agents. A letter addressed to w. E.
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to J. T. Lane,
Wheeling. W. Va, to j. A. Webb. Eos.

when the Lover May Speak.


AS rule, delicate woman does not
think OF o man as lover, or even know
whether she could care for him in that
capacity or not, until she has received
some impression OF his special interest
in her Then she begins to consider
him. Does 8 long talk with him bore
or delight beri Does she find herself
talking to him freely, or entertaining
him with an effort2 Is the festive oc-
cssion from which he is absent robbed
or some portion Of it's brightness P
Does she ''see his face, all faces among" I"
catch his voice, though . dczen are
speaking2 Then, unconsiously, do her
CHECKS begin TO glow at his coming. In
her eyes smiles welcome, timid. vet
sweet; and the reverent, waiting lover
may speak safely. for his time has come.

worked for Virgins. L Young, being
with Them during the State FAIR. They
claim that he stole their hooks from the
safe long enough to copy the references
ot prospective business from them and
then, desertino them, turning over the
references TO Frumplon, Grubs's agent.
Accordingly they made affi isvit that he
had been intoxicated, which was vio-
lation Of the conditions on which he
vas pardoned. The affidavit has been
out some days aud the Sheriff has heep

Among the many unexpected develop

ton to the hivinR of bees when they
swarm, successfully tried by German ex-
perimenters. It Was. thought that by
utilizing the electrical force the bees
might be stupsfed for tho necessary Pc
riod Of time without being injured, and
the result proved the correctness Of the
idea. The first attempt was made upon
the bees that had gathered upon trees.

pleased, send six. But the rector pre-

therefore, appeared with chair, table
and good supply Of cider, and, after
sitting in the orchard two days, carried

some potatoes were taken up for dinner

from the rector's daughter demanding
