Forty-Seventh Congress.
SENATE.

In the United States Senate during the
consideration of the tariff bill, an amend,
ment to the tobacco schedule was adopted
fixing the tax on manufactured tobacco
snuff, etc. at eight cents per pound.
An effort was made to push the tariff bill
through the Senate, but after being i'll session
eleven hours an adjournment was had until
this morning, with several items yet TO be
disposed of. The action in committee of
the whole putting lumber on the free list was
reversed, and the duty called for i'll the bill
substituted.
The United States Senate completed the
sugar, tobacco and wool schedule of the
aritf bill, and took up the book schedule.
Both houses of Congress were at work on
the tariff. The Senate fixed the duty on
books at fifteen per cent. ad vaorem. An
amendment, adopted in committee of the
whole, raising the duty ON bituminous coal
from fifty to seyenty-iive cents a ton, led to a
protracted debate, which was participated in
by Messrs. Davis, of West Virginia, German,
Morgan, Beck, Brown and others. The
amendment was sustained by vote of %
yeas to Is nays. The Senate completed the
consideration of all the amendments adopted
in committee of the whole, but adjourned
before disposing of an amendment offered
nv Mr. Rack
In the House but little progress was made
IN the metal schedule. The cotton-tie duty
vas fixed at 4-l0 cents per pound, as re-
,orted by the committee. Amotion to reduce
he duty on cut nails and spikes from "a to to
cent per pound was defeated. Senate mi
vas passed appropriating $4,000 to erect
monument to Baron De Kalb at Annapolis,
Nd.
In the House, the metal schedule being
under consideration, several amendments
reducing the duty on chains We're adopted,
brief evening session was held, but no
business of interest was transacted.
in the House. there was scene between
1essrs. Townshend, of Illinois, and Ha,kell,
Of Kansas, in which personalities were in
tulged in. The House concluded, with one
exception, the metal clause of the tariff bill.

Under the hot sun of August, 1882 the vii
lage of Dover, N. j.. lay still as the sphinx in
Egypt, while Elijah Sharp, of that place,
slowly and softly spoke of the past "Yes,
he said, 81 was in the army and saw many of

discharged from disability, resulting from
sunstroke. came home, miserable in health
and spirits; so edfeebled that took cold on

THAT was sad enough, " said l, dividing my

This preparation, which has been known as
PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will hereafter be
called simply PARKER's Tonic. AS unprinci-
pied dealers are constantly deceiving their GUS
toners by substituting inferior articles under
the name of ginger, and as ginger is really an
unimportant ingredient, we drop the mislead-
ing word.
There is no change, however, in the prepara-
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers wrapped under the name of
PARKER's GINGER Tonic contain the genuine
medicine if the fac simile signature of HIscox
& Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.

CHAPTER III.

Before these fields were shorn and till'd
Full to the brim our rivers fow'd;
The melody of waters filpd
The fresh and boundless wood;
And torrents dashed and rivulets play'd,
And fountains spouted in the shade.
Bryant.
Leaving the unsuspecting Hayward
and his confiding companions to PEN
citrate still deeper into forest that
contained such treacherous inmates,
we must use an authors privilege,
and shift the scene a few miles to
the westward of the place where we
have last seen them.
On that day, two men were linger-
ing on the banks Of a small, but rapid
stream, within an hours journey
of the encampment of Webb,
like those who awaited the ap-
pearance of an absent person, or the
approach of some expected event,
The vast canopy of woods spread
itself to the margin of the river over
hanging the water, and shadowing its
dark current with a deeper hue. The
rays of sun were beginning to grow
less fierce, and the intense heat Of
the day was lessened, as the cooler
vapors of the springs and fountains
rose above their leafy beds, and rest
ed in the atmosphere. Still that
breathing silence, which marks the
drowsy sultriness of an American
landscape in July, prevailed the se-
cluded spot, interrupted only by the
low voices of the men, the occasional
and lazy tap Of woodpecker, the dis
cordant cry of some guady jay, or a
swelling on the ear, from the dull
roar Of distant waterfall.
These feeble and broken sounds

close of his verse, had been duly de-
livery like a word of two syllables.
Such an innovation of the silence
and retirement of the forest could
not fail to enlist the ears of those who
journeyed at so short distancein ad-
vance. The Indian muttered a few
words in broken English to Hayward,
who, in his turn, spoke to the strang-
er; at once interrupting, and, for the
time closing his musical efforts.
"Though we are not in danger,
common prudence would teach as to
journey through this wilderness as
quiet as possible. You will, then,
pardon me, Alice, should l diminish
your enjoyments, by requesting this
gentleman to postpone his chant until
safer opportunity"
"You will diminish them, indeed"
returned the arch girl; "for never did,
hear more unworthy conjunction
of execution and language, than that
to which l have been listning; and
was far gone in learned inquiry in
the causes of such an unftnesS be-
tween sound and sense, when you
broke the charm of my musings by
that bass of yours, Duncan !"
81 know not what you callmy base,"
said Hayward, piqued at her remark,
"but l know that your safety, and
that of Cora, is far more dearer to me
than could be any orchestra of Hadels
music" He paused and turned his
head quickly towards thicket, and
then bent his eyes suspiciously on
their guide, who continued his steady
pace, in undisturbed gravity. The
young man smiled, to himself, for he
believed he had mistaken some shin
ing berry of the woods for the gliGt-
ening eyeballs of a prowling savage,
and he rode forward, continuing the
conversation which had been inter-
rupted by the passing thought
Major Hayward was mistaken only
in suffering his youthful and gener-
GUS pride to suppress his sctive
watchfulnes. The cavalcade had
not long passed, before the branches
of the bushes of the thicket were
cautiously moved asunder, snd a
human visage, as fiercely wild as
savage art and unbridled passions
could make it, peered out on the re-
firing footsteps of the travellers. A
gleam of exultation shot across the
darkly painted lineaments of the in
habitant of the forest, as he traced
the route of his intended victims,
as they rode unconsciously onward;
the light and graceful forms of the
females waving among the trees, in
the curvstures of their path followed
at each bend by the manly figure of
Hayward, until, finally, the shapeless
person of the singing master was con-
cealed behind the numberless trunks
of trees, that rose, in dark lines in
the intermediate space.

A Nest in a Lions Mouth.

An artist friend has sent sketch
which he made of q gargoyle, or orna-
mental rain-spout, on the eleven tower
of Heidelberg Castle, on the Rhine.
Gargoyles, as perhaps you know, are
very common in European architecture,
and sometimes they are modelled after
some portion of the human figure, and
sometimes after parts of animals. This
gargoyle represented lions head. 1t
was carved in stone, and partly over
grown with vines. Years ago some
birds, tempted by the shelter of its great
open mouth, built nest there, which,
my friend says, is mentioned by Mr..
Longfellow in his Hyperion" prose
book, in the chapter headed "Inter-
lachen."
When the artist wrote, the nest W as
still remaining in the gargoyle's mouth.
Perhaps some of our readers may be
passing through Heidelberg this coming
summer, and if they stop at the castle
they should be on the lookout for this
queer home of a pair of birds.-St.
Nicholas for May.
