Some time ago an English lady, who
was living at Kingston, Jamaica, took
passage on board homewari-bound vos-
sci, takiag her two months old infant
with her, says the Boston Globe. A large,
strong, active moakey, which was on
board, took violent fancy for the child.
The monkey would sit all day long watch :
ing the mother AS she rocked and tondled
il, and followed her from place to place
Several times the animal tried unsuccess-
fully t. get possession of the baby. One
beautiful afternoon distant sail attracted
the attention of all GU board, and the
captain politely offered his glass to the
badly. She placed her baby on the sof,,
AID had just raised the glass to her eye
when cry was heard farming quickly
she beheld a sailor in pursuit of the mon
key, which had grasped the infant firmly
with one arm aud was nimbly climbing
the shrouds. The mother tainted AS the
animal reached the top of the mainmast.
The captain was at his wits end. He
feared it he sent sailor in pursuit the
monkey would drop the baby and escape
by leaping from mast to mast. The child
in the meantime was heard to cry, but
the fear that the monkey was hurting it
was dispelled by seeing it initiate the mo-
tions OF the mother, dandllng, soothing
and endeav"ring to hush it to sleep.
After trying in many ways to lure the AMI
NAL down, the captain finally ordered the
men below and concealed himself on deck.
In moment, to his great joy. he saw the
monkey carefully descending. Reaching
the deck it looked cautiously around, adj
vsnced to tho sofa and placed the baby
upon it. The captain restored the tright>
ened infant to its mother, who was soon
satisfied that her darling had escaped
without injury.

las bought Mr.. A. o. Bcnjamiu's control
ling interest in the steamer Evangel,
which vessel was built some two years
ago for the purpose of spreading the Cos
pei. Captain Beecher took her to Vlcs
toria Thursday, where she will receive a
few needed repairs and general cleaning
up and painting. Captain Benjamin
knows all about raising houses and other
heavy bodies, but he lacks the necessary
discipline to make a successful Steamboat
captain: hence his craft, though cnmpar>
aiely new, Is black and dirty. Captain
Bcecher says when she comes out a week
hence she will look as bright as new
dollar. The steamer Biz has been char
tered by Captain Beecher for two years,
and will soon receive new boiler and
have other needed repairs made to her
AT this rate Captain Beecher will soon
earn the title of COMMUNICATIONS

Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1883-01-13

A Democratic member of the Ways and
Means committee of the House, was
asked whether he thought a tariff bill
would pass at this session.. He said that
he did not think 1t would, or at least
1t was very doubtful. He said the COM
mittee would bring in their report dur
ing the present week, but would ask that
II be printed and re-committed, after
which they would 60 over it again. and
it was uncertain how much time would
be consumed in the consideration Of it
in its new form. Upon this depended
somewhat the probability of it becoming
a law during the present session. The
time was short, and with the necessary
debate in the House there would be
great difficulty in securing "a measure
which would pass both branches of Con-
gress and then go through conference
committee between now and the 4th of
March.

The insincerity of the Democrats in
Congress in regard to the matter of civil
service reform Is shown in the fact that
upon the vote in the House, Thursday of
last week, on the PendletOn Civil Service
Reform bill, forty-seven Democratic
members voted against the passage of
the bill. This, too, in theSface of the
fact that the bill had been, prepared by
Senator George II. Pendleton, of Ohio,
one Of the ablest and most distinguish
ed Democrats of the country. Judging
from the result of the elections last fall
thoseopposing the bill thought they saw
glimpse of the promised land and did not
desire to have anything done that would
look like an obstacle to a clean sweap of
all, Republicans from Office and the ell
ing Of the positions with the hungring
hordes Of Democratic aspirants for the
loayes and fishes of office. The passage
of the bill may be regarded as Repuh-
lican triumph.

The House Committee on Expendi-

of this state is chairman, have been in
vestigating into the matter of fees re-
ceived by the clerks of the Superior
Court. The result was Mr.. McKenny,
the clerk admitted that the fees which
went into his own pocket last year
amounted to $29,477,11. Mr.. Willis
will try to have an item inserted in the
regular appropriation bill making the
position salaried one, and fixing the
salary at $1,000 per year, thus saving
about $4,000 annually to the govern
ment. The committee is also investi-
eating the fees received by q. s. Mar
shals, and finds some in the larger cities
all receiving enormous sums. The COM
mittee proposes to frame law grading
the fees, so that the pay will be in accor-
dance to the work done.
