WASHINGTON NOTES.

The estimates of the various depart
ments for the next appropriations, says a
Washington telegram, are very much later
in being made up THIN usual so far the
only Cabinet officer who has sent TO the treas
ury complete estimates is Secretary Teller,
of the Interior Department The estimates
for salaries for most OF the departments will
belarger than last year, owing to the increase
in clerical force. The estimate for the pen
sion roll is Just the same az last year, being
round 800, 100000 There will also be
deficiency, but the amount is not yet deter
mined. The increased apportionment con-
siderably swells the expenses of Congress,
estimates for which are made up.
Commissioner Mcfarland, replying to
questions of land attorney, says, relative
to the location OF soldiers homestead rights
does not construe the law so az TO require
the tracts entered TO be contiguous In re-

fundamental principle of law that the entries
be made only for the use, occupation and
benefit of the homestead party.
The annual report of Health Officer
Townsend, of the District of Columbia,

He was the chief election officer of East Fe-
hciana parish, in that State In 1876, and, af-
ter making one return favorable TO Tilden,
subsequently made another giving Hayes
the parish. The election or the State
turned upon Anderson and his return of the
parish vote. The Returning Board counted
his HayesD return, and Anderson atterward
claimed the reward which he alleged had
been promised him for making it. AS
witness before the Potter Committee, he
produeed certain correspondence between
himself and Hon. stanley Matthews. Among
the letters was one that attracted much
notice, recommending that Anderson be ap-

The Young Preacher Does Not Sing.

A sad thought fills my mind. It takes
the form of question. Is Methodism
resigning it's power of song to others?
1t looks as if she was. There is little
singing at family worship even when
there is such Worship among our peo-
pie. May be when one of the veterans
comes along that was brought mp under
the old regime he will sing, but hardly
the smart young preacher of these
times. He will take hand with the
girls at the piano or organ, and give
good bass to some modern ditty-but
that hearty praise of God in song regu-
larry i'll the houses of orr people and
among their children and servants,

paths, and our fathers had much de-
light in them.-iSt. Louis Christian

A GeOmetrical Angler

Mr. Wright went out to fish. And
he became a Wright angler. He
thought he would try and catch u
shark. And he became a try-angler.
He laughed to think how smart he was.
And he became cute angler. But he
did not sec the shark with its nose
under the stern of his craft. He was
such an obtuse angler. Until the
