"No ,ha, will al once proclaim yoa TO

"Buil do want 10 wcar my bonnet "
cant wear IL on my wedding tour, don't

After considerable talk Il vas decided
,ba, the bride could wear her lovely white
bonnet, but the bridal vail was to be lefi
at home
Barney Was married early 10 the mora
ing aud the happy couple were At once
whirled 10 the Broad street station 10 take
the train for New York Their tickets
were already purchased, and they passed
direct 10 the cars
''Now remember" said Burney, as be

act as old married people. Don't forget
TO growl when ! sit down.
Burney sal down roughly, bat there
was no growl.
"why don't yon growlf"
"why, dear, forgot what ] was 10 say
said she.
"Hush not 40 loud Don't, whatever
you do, call me dear again. That isn't the
language married people use when they
address each other.
II was several minutes before the train
would start, and Barney wanted to sauns.
er out into the depot, and come rushing
back just as the train was moving OIL But
the newly made bride wouldn't hear to
any such arrangement She was afraid he
actually would get left.
II wasn't until after tho train started
that Burney and his bride showed any OF
the actions OF married people. When they
did commence, however, in their zeal to
carry out the scheme they oyerdid the
matter. Three times his wife asked Bur
ney TO put up the window and three times
he gave her surly reply. The last time
the reply was so savage that the bride, for
getting for an instant that his roughness
was only assumed, allowed the tears to
spring from her eyes. AT this instant o
gentlemrn sitting in the opposite seat
arose and stepping over, put up the win
dow, aud then looking Burney square in
the eyes he said
"Sir, you're brute. No man with the
least spark Of honor would act towards
woman as you have done to the lady sit
ting by your side"
"Sir," said Burney, jumping to his feet,
'whom are you addressing?'
'I'm addressing you, " said the man firm
lly. you're big man, sir, but you're
coward, aud il hear you talk to your wifi,
again as you have talked, I'll break your
jaw"
"Yes, and wen help him, said foul
men, sprlnging to their feet
Alarmed at the sensation they had sue
ceeded in creating, the newly married pai
kept remarkably quiet until they reached
New York. AT the hotel Burney agar
overshot the mark. His conduct towards
his wife was so surly that it attracted th'
attention of three divorce lawyers. Tbes'
birls Of prey, scentiug a probable Job
presented their cards TO the bride ant
tried to persuade her that she ought u
get a divorce at once. The handsome
room clerk also sympathized deeply will
the wife. Finding her alone, he advised
her to get rid of that "brute Of a husband
by clipping with him.
The last experience satisfied the pal
with trying to initiate old married people
As quickly as possible they got away from
that hotel, and during the remainder o
the trip they allowed the ardor OF younl
lovers to assert itself, regardless Of .whs
the world might say.

expend theamounl Appropriated last
session during the present fiscal year,
and the balance, probably 100000
or 100000, will be carried over to
the credit of next year. The appro-
priaiions are not made with refer.
ence to any given year, but are sub,
ject to drafts when wanted. Some.
times year or two elapses before the
work is begun for which provision is
made. There was 81, 100000 on hand
when the last bill was passed. The
appropriation is a permanent one,
the balance from one year going over
TO the next. The engineer officers
believe that the amount now to the
credit of the work will carry out all
that is now under way, unless unex
pec.ed floods or accidents should &C.
cur.
PostmasterGeneral Howe will rec.
Ommend the establishment Of postal
saving banks, postal biography, and
the sale ofstamped envelopes at three
cents each. This last recommends.
tion does not seem to meet with, great
favor, especially from young ladies,
who spoil package of envelopes be,
fore they get one addressed to suit
them. There lisa strong sentiment in
Congress in favor Of the reduction Of
postage to two cents, thus making it
as cheap as the postage rates of Eng.
land, France and Germany.
Those who have had most exper-
fence in Congressional methods re-
gard it as improbable that any def,
mite or comprehensive tariff legisla.
tion will be enacted at the coming
session. Its limited duration pre-.
cludes the possibility of such full dis.
cussiOn and consideration of the nu-
merous interests involved, as must
take place before any general tariff
measure can become law. And SO
the idea seems to prevail here among
those best acquainted that, if it be
really the desire of both political par.
ties to have Tire tariff promptly and
compreEensively revised and modi.
fed, the only practical means of do.
ing So would be to have bill passed
next session providing for the meet
ing of the Forty eighth Congress in
March next for the purpose olconsid.
ering and acting on the subject.
Naturally the FIRST business in or.
der to be dealt with by the House of
Representatives will be the DISPOSE.
ton O. about two hundred Senate
bills now lying on the Speakers tn
bic. Many of these are simple in
their character and are practically
covered by favorable reports from
House committees on the same sub.
ject. An effort will be made to pass,
ut least those which involve no ap-
preparation of money and others will
be sent to proper committees.
