shall have your baby again" Tho moth

will not give him back" '.Is that the
truth you mean to tellp" asked the croc-
odile. Eyes" replied the mother. ''Then
by our agreement l keep him." added
the crocodile; ''for if you told the truth
l am not going to give him back, and if
1t is falsehood, then l have also won."
Said she; mo, you are wrong. If l told
the truth you are bound by your prom.
Use; and, if n falsehood, it is not false

HOUSE.

JULY 13.-The house, resumed consideration
of the sundry civil appropriation bill, which
was passed by 1873 to 40. An item of $4,000 for
the family OF the late Mr.. Hawk was agreed
to. 1t was decided to appropriate $4,000 to
meet the expenses of thirty-fve contestants
to seats and to set aside $4,000 to pay the
bills of n commission to negotiate q CONNER
cial treaty with Mexico. Mr.. Holman offered
an amendment to appropriate $4,000 to enable
the president to carry out the statute to pro-
mote civil-service reform. Mr.. Horr opened
tho ball I'm opposition, and Mr.. Willis respond
ed with story, the discussion being contin-
ued by Messrs. Cox, Reed, Springer, and Robe
son, when the proposition was adopted.
JULY H.-The house, In considering the sem
ate amendments TO the general deficiency bill,
refused to accept the item OF $4,000 for mile
tober last. On the amendment to create a
board OF audit for the Garfield claims, Mr..
Blackburn attacked the surgeons for their
management of the presidents case, eulogiz-
ed the Pennsylvania Railroad company, and
urged that all claimants be sent TO the courts.
Mr.. Taylor, representing Garfield's district,
announced that the presidents widow would
never litigate the bills of the physicians. Mr..
Springer remarked that IL only $4,000 were
allotted to the doctors there would be n more
unsecmly quarrel than occurred over Gui-
teau's body. Mr.. Hiscock regretted that the
country should be treated TO such scene. Mr..
Dunnell thought the settlement of the matter
should be left to the house. Mr.. Williams APP

Az OnY JOKE, The San Francisco
Chronicle tells Of a ventriloquist who got
into trouble through his love of practical
jokes. During trip on the Mississippi a
few years ago he made friends with the
engineer Of the boat and WAS allowed TO
enter the engine room.
He took seat in corner of the room,
and pulling his hat down over his eyes ap-
peared to be lost in reyery. Presently
certain part OF the machinery began to
squeak.
The engineer oiled IL and went about
his usual duties. In the course Of few
minutes the squeaking was heard again.
and the engineer rushed, oil.can in hand.
to lubricate the same spindle.
Again he returned to his post but is was
only few minutes and the same old apn.
die was squeaking louder than ever
"Confound the thing he yelled, "Iis
bewitched. More oil WAS administered,
but the engineer began to be suspicious rs
to its cause. Pretty soon the spindle be.
gan to squeak again, and slipping up be.
hind the ventriloquist the engineer squirt.
ed half pint of oil down his back
There, said he, II guess that spindle
won't squeak any more, .
The joke was so good that the yentrilo
lnist could not keep it.
