Efforts is save ,ae Assassin.

Washington, 2S.-The cabinet
meeting, to-day, was attended By all
the members. The session was
short, and was principally occupied
in considering the application for a
respite in the case of Guiteau. It
was decided to have a special meet
at 6 o'clock this evening to finally
consider the case. The people who
are in this city actively interest
ing themselves in endeavOring to
procure respite for Guiteau, have
expressed a desire to appear before
the attorney general, to whom the
papers and petitions laid before the
President yesterday, were referred,
and make further argument ia the
case. The attorney general has re-
fused to receive them for this pur-
pose, but has indicated that if they
had any additional arguments to
submit they could put them in
writing, and he would consider such
papers with the others, DR.. Beard
is preparing a paper which he will
send to the attorney general.
Counsel for Guiteau had an inter-
view with the President this after
noon, and made a formal applica-
ton for a respite till he shall have
an opportunity of bringing the ques-
ton of jurisdiction before the
United States Supreme Court at the
next term, which opens October list.
The Post tomorrow will state
that the cabinet advised against in
terfering with the sentence Of Gul-
teau, the conclusion reached being
that the issue Of Insanity had been
as carefully investigated at the trial
as it would be possible to do at this
date.

HOUSE.

Washington, 23.-Kasson from
the committee On ways and means,
reported back the bill amending
section 1888, revised statute; that
duties paid on sugars shall be as
sessnd on the quality delivered from
instead Of the quantity entered in
bonded warehouse. Referred to the
committee of the whole.
The House then went into COM
mittee and resumed consideration
of the bill to reduce internal taxa.
ton, it being agreed that the general
debate thereon shall close at 3
o'clock, at which hour eulogies on
the life and character Of the late
Thomas Allen MOI will be deliv-
cred.
Wilson, of West Virginia, spoke
in support of two amendments,
which he proposed to offer, one
striking out the clause abolishing
the tax on bank capital, another for
bidding national banks to charge or
receive any interest, discount, or
exchange exceeding six per cent. per
annUm.
Willis, of Kentucky, argued in
support Of the proposed amend
ment providing that alcohol and
other spirits to be used in industrial
pursuits shall he free Of tax.
Hewitt, of New York, in discuss
ing. the bill, referred to the large
number of wOrkmen refusing 10
work, and considered the causes of
the strikers now in progress. The
general demal d was Tor an increase
of wages. and the ground on which
the demand was placed was
that a workman found himself
unable to support himself
and family with the wages he is now
receiving. This grievance was well
founded. The rise in prices Of the
necessarieS of life for the last year
has been so great that the working
people had found that they were
being reduced from a condition of
narrative comfort to one Of COM
parative want. Employers were
willing to concede it. They would
be glad to pay higher wages if they
were able. They refused because
concession would simply destroy
their capital. Relief must come
from some quarter and if Congress
could show there was a heavy hand
like the hand or the bandit taking
out Of the earnings of labor and cap
ital unnecessary contributions; if
it could find that such levy was
made on the products of industry
and that that levy was unnecessary.
then so far as it had power it should
proceed with speed, it should go on
the express train of legislation in
order to remove the evils which were
sapping the very roots Of comfort
and peace of the people. A demand
for reduction in taxation has been
made. 1t must be needed; it would
be an issue in the fall elections.
He appealed to gentlemen on the
other side to reduce the expenditures
and take the load of taxation off the
overburdened energies Of the work
ing people.
Holman, Of Indiana, MCMILLAN, OF
Tennessee, and others opposed the
bill in its present form as being
measure for the relief of the banker,
but containing no adequate relief
for the workingmen.
The Committee rose.
Eulogies were delivered upon the
life and character of Thomas Allen

This is good month for snakes in
Pennsylvania, and the papers OF that
imperial commonwealth are full oftheir
doings. Here are few of them:
Margaret Kane, Mauch Chunk, walk

copperhead, which at once immodestly
buried its fangs in the calf of her leg.
She was stupefied with liquor and a
live toad was fastened on the wound,
The toad obligipgly absorbed the poison
and died, and the little girl recovered.
Mrs. Benjamin Ritter, of Strassburg,
was engaged iu the familiar act of ad-
justing q switch of false hair when she
heard Kissing sound proceeding from
the back of her head. What she had
supposed to he coil of hair proved to
be black snake, which she promptly
dispatched.
John Bossier, of Donegal, heard an
ominous rattle while working in
his harvest field, but paid no heed to it.
A moment later huge rattlesnake fas'
tened on his hand. He sucked the
poison from the wound, drank three
pints Of whiskcy. took a powerful
emetic, and is doing well.-Bu6dlO

killing Perkins.


II is OF record in this State that =
Michigan editor was once engaged to
fight duel. IL the editor himselfis not
living he must have died within week
past. The affair occurred about twenty
five years ago, and was brought about by
the journalist making several vicious
attacks upon the honesty of a member
of the Legislature. The Scion first tried
the usual way of getting even, by buying
a horsewhip and hunting the editor, but
when he had found him he was knock
ed down and rolled in the mud. He
then sent formal challenge, and as the
editor opened the letter he turned to his
two compositors and said:
"BOys, how much matter have you
got up for the first page?'
"Three columns, replied the foreman,
after measuring up on the galleys.
"And we need five. You'll have it
all up by noon tomorrow, and by
Wednesday night all the inside will be
up. Then I'll wet down the paper and
make up, and while you are working Cd
the outside I'll run out and shoot old
Perkins, who has sent me challenge" "
He sent formal acceptance, named
rifles as weapons, appointed the rem
devious within thirty rods of the office,
and then began to scratch out copy.
When the hour arrived he was making
up the forms, having got little behind
the programme, and by and by his
second came in at the back door and
said:
"We've been waiting for you all Of
twenty minutes"
"But Pm busy"
This is no time to be busy. Perkins
is all ready ~ =
"Hang the lueisT grosled the editor
a. he filled out a=-column and flung

ins-heDw wants 10 throw our publication
day. Come on--Pll fill him up"
The editor seized his gun, and hatless
and coatless he set out on lOpe for the
spot. Perkins saw him coming in that
fashion, and his knees weakened and
his chin dropped, and though the editor
yelled for him to hold on minute, he
boIted over fence and didn't come out
of the woods until he was six mile;
away.

The cool summer zephyr flOatcd into
the windows Of a pleasant apartments,
while near at hand the golden grain
was waving in waves like the sea a. far

made the leaves on the grand old forest
trees nod and whisper to one another,

like mad to the foot of the hill and
plunged leg deep into the sparkling
stream. 1t was Arcadian scene.

Within the fine old mansion a young
girl sat near the window, drinking in the
beautiful scene, and mending a pair of
her fathers socks. Her golden hair
hung ripping below her waist, and her
dark blue eyes had in them nothing but
look of purity such a is worn by the
angels or Sunday. Opposite her SAT an
peeeTihg potatoes for dinner. AS soon
as she had scalped one she placed it in
pan containing clean water, while the
refuse was placed in another receptacle
which contained fried liver left from
breakfast, and several cold pancakes.
"What is it, Bebe?" inquired the elder
lady, whom our readers will have al
ready guessed, occupied the responsible
position of mother to the beautiful Bebe.
Bebe raised her hand to her head in
graceful and ever-varying CURVES, and
agitated it gently. Her eyes took in
their crystal depths startled light, like
that of a frightened fawn. She rose
suddenly, and knocked the side of her
head several times against the window
sill. Then with a petulent motion she
stamped her little bOOt-heel upon the
floor.
