THE TARIFF ELL PRACTICALLY DEAD.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2S-the best opin-
ion obtana6le tonight is almost unani-
nous that the tariff revision is dead for
the session. EI Speaker Randall Is the
only prominent man on either side who
does not privately admit this. Randall
thinks the bill can yet be passed. The
play in getting a conference committee
together when every moment of time is of
much value, and the fact that conferess
from beth houses are instructed on points
which n.ust be settled before the main
question Is reach, d, will initiate against
the chances Of the bull The House yes
terday instructed its conferees to consider
the constitutional objection to the origina-
ti"n ri the tariff measures by the Senate,
and the latter body to-day instructed i's
conferees il they become advised that the
House conf rees We're acting under any
limitation to retire from the conference.
With these Instructions the committee
met tonight, and all speculation as TO the
tariff waits upon the first report of pro-
gress from them.

Az IMPORTANT rREsPAss DECISION.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The commits
sioner of the land Office has been directed
by the Secretary of the Interior to give
Instructions to special timber agents, who
may be called upon TO report cases of tres
pass upon lands within the limits Of rail!
road grants included in the cases of al
legged trespass upon odd sections. The
Secretary says there is no legal reason
why any railroad company, when its
grants Of land by Congress are unearned,
cannot institute proceedings against tres
passes on its lands, since no valid objec-
ton Woud be raised on the trial Of such
case on account Of the want OF title in the
company, inasmuch as the title TO the
company can be questioned only by the
United States This decision is made in
the case of trespass against Thomas Jen
kings, OF Wasco, Oregon, for cutting 1000
cords of fire wood within the limits of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Companys
grant on All unearned section.

go q &c..

A person Of q generous and keenly
appreciatiYe nature experiences pleasure
N according Just praise to the fine opal-
illes or achievements Of another; We;
now often IS the chilling shqdow Of dis
arrangement thrown over some graceful
deed or meritorious performance!
Inc earnest word of announcement,
which would have fallen like dew upon
a thirsting spirit, is withheld. and per-
maps the Towering moment never
comes again; thus human life. which
might have hlossomed into enduring
beauty, is left bleak and sterile. And II
IS not Others alone who suffer, for as we
utter the cordial expressions of approval
our own nature expands; as We with
hold them it contracts, crushing the
bright enthusiasm which she'd such 4
fairy glow over existence.
No human character has ever been
injured by just and judicious praise, but
how many souls have starved for the
lack of its benign influence. If we could
but know how darkly the shadows are
gathering about some heart upon which
we could shed golden sunbeams, how
gladly would We "open the shutters and
let in more light" But we are so selfish
or thoughtless; 50 slow to obey the voice
OF deity within-that voice whose gen
tie whisperings, if wrought into deeds,
would suifgse life with an immortality
Of peace and glory.
A teacher of long experience relates
how once when weary and disheartcned
a word Of childish encouragement
written upon his slate by little pupil
gave new life to her tagging energies.
None but she could know the true
heavenliness of that "kind word fifty
spoken"
For the sake Of humanity let us give
voice to our kindly impulses, and we
will find the world growing bright as
with the dawn of new day.

Birthdays.

Let us remember each anniversary Of
the birth Of our loved ones, whether alb
sent or present, and prepare some little
memento Of love to assure them they are
never forgottenin the daily round of do
nestle duty that seeminly engrosses ev-
cry interval of time,
If the purse be collapsed, only add to
the breakfast or dinner some dainty bit
or delicacy prepared solely for the bless
ed one who has had in Gods mercy am
Other year added to his or her life; and
under the p.ate, on a small slip Of paper,
return thanks to the Great Parent that
this precious life has been preserved
amid the many dangers by which it has
been environed If possible observe
each birthday religionsly; there viii be
no sweeter home memory, when the sor-
rows and trials of maturer life weigh
down the spirit and tempt us to think
we never had a friend, and life itself had
proved bitter failure.
Each birthday is a grand epoch in a
child's life, and for this day alone, if no
other, LIT Tommy strut in his first new
pants and boots, and little six-year old
Mary don the richly embroidered dress
and start offalone to grandma's, square
distant, to tell her how life is broaden
ing into consequence. Prepare the
special cake for this day, and let big
brothers and sisters become nonentities
until the days rule is over.
Mothers who have large families may
overlook some returning anniversary,
but let it be redeemed at earliest leisure,
and some new token added by way Of rec
ompense for seeming neglect. It is an
old custom, and none more fondly cher
ished, and in the weary round Of years
they would esteem such occasions a
holy privileges.

IN THE HARBoR.

When compare
What | have lost with what have gained.
What have missed with what attained,
Little room do find for pride.
am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent
Has fallen short or been turned aside.
But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turH Of the tide.
--Longfellow
For the best results there needs be the
longest waiting The true harvest is the
longest in being reached. The fail
nres come first, the success last. The
unsatisfactory is generally soonest seen.
1t is better in some respects to be adj
mired by those with whom you live,
than to be loved by them. And this not
on account Of any qualification or vani-
ty, but because admiration is so much
more tolerant than love.-Arthur Helps.
To do worthy and noble deeds; to love
all that is good and great, and those who
are coed and great; and out Of human
experience to extract, like honey-bees
from blossoms, the sweetness that is hid
den in them; to treasure itup in heaven,
wherein to feed throughout eternity,
this is all that life has in it worth the
living. Eugene Bouton.

THE California and Iowa statutes pro-
vide explicitly that men and women may
lawfully marry by simply expressing ali
agreement to become man and wife.
The Connecticut, Delaware and Kansas
statutes expressly nulEfy any marriage
not solemnized according to one of the
modes prescribed BY Law. In about d
dozen States, whose statutes contain no
words Of nullity as to marriages by mere
agreements, the court holds such mar
riages valid. The contrary ruling is
made by the courts Of Massachusetts and
four or FIVE other states, whose statutes
are likewise without words Of nulIity on
the subject. This confusion Of statutes
and rulings may have something TO do
with the loose ideas prevailing about the
marriage relation.

A Bridal Couple Donsed.

A newly-married pair, who arrived
on their honeymoon trip at celebrated
Scotch watering place when accommoda-
ton was at premium, had mattress
spread for them by compassionate inn
keeper in one of his bath rooms. In4he
middle Of the night the house was alarm
ed by loud shrieks proceeding from the
nuptial chamber What was the matter i?
Well, this: The young bride, wishing to
ring for a servant, had caught hold of
what she supposed to be the beIl-rope
and pulled it sharply. Unhappily for
herand her spouse twas the cord of the
shower-bath over their heads, and forth
with down plunged such deluge Of
cold water as wouldthrow damperupon
the most devoted honey-making couples.
Her husband, in dismay caught franti-
cally at another cord on his side of the
extemporized couch, but the only re-
Spouse was an equally liberal deluge Of
water, this time nearly boiling hot. The
unhappy pair then screamed in unison.
When the servants came they found the
floor of the room flooded with water,
and the wife was perched like monkey
on her husbands back, uttering the most
lamentable cries, while her good man
was fumbling about inN the dark trying
his best to find the door.

A Grave Error,

No error in the conduct Of physical life
can be greater, or of more serious conse.
quence, than to suppose that pains in the
back and loins, fluttering Of the heart, and
disturbances of the urinary system are
trivial, and win ego as they came" To
neglect such SYM toms is a sure way to
incur serious aud often fatal diseases. The
true cure for them is Hunts Remedy, the
great kidney and liver medicine. This
medicine is never taken without benefit.
If nervous about your kidneys, bladder,
liver, or urinary organs, use Hunts Remedy.
