4 Parrot With a Pious Wink,

In our cabin we had quite mcnag-

Moncure d. Conway, referring to his
recent voyage from Honolulu to San
Francisco. When was spoken to
by this parrot, in passing, l turned
and closely Inspected its face. l,
winked. There was something in
its mere wink so pious and something
so unctuous in its voice that feel con
firmed in my suspicion that this is the
penitent parrot. Without being in the
least annoyed by anyone, and while
seemingly looking out in a dreamy
mooi over the deep blue sea, this bird
would suddenly break out with volley
Of mariners patois and oaths enough
to turn the air purple around it. At
length, when it was heard that some
ladies had declared thew would never
again sail on snip with such a bird,
it was resolved that tie parrot must

was. Its oaths were invariably fol-

this. Once, when the boat shipped a
heavy sea whic;l gave the reformed
parrot severe ducking, the bird, con-

from its perch and repaired to the

and down before the d.luged fowls,

Purify the Blood Sow!

1t is not claimed that BROWNS

Let the Wife Share In the Management

The majority Of the women are less
reckless in the matter of expenditure
than men; therefore, when the family
finances are limited, the wife is the
best disburser of the funds. And If
she is worthy to be the wife of an hon
est man, she will do her best to make
that money bring as much comfort in
to the house as possible, and in no
case will she allow her feminine love
for the beautiful to beguile her.into ex-
travagance. But we must not expect
miracles. If the husband has treated
her like child for five years and he
shall at length come to his senses and
decide to act toward her as an intelli-
gent woman, he will not expect that
she will display the Judgment the SEN
sible mans wife across the street does,
for she has had five years experience
In the use of her powers that his short
sightcdness has deprived his wife Of.

SUSTAINING SILVER DOLLARS.
Resolutions Adopted by the House Com
mittee on COinape


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The House
Committee ON Coinage, Weights and
Measures to-day adopted the following
resolutions:
ReSOtced, That it is inexpedient to dis
continue the coinage Of silver under ex-
listing laws.
Resolced, That all coin now in
the treasury, excepting an amount
not exceeding % per cent. of the Outstand-
ing greenback circulation as redemption
fund, and also excepting all sums held for
the redemption of outstanding gold and
silver certificates, should be at once used
in the payment of the outstanding interest
bearing obligations of the government
which are subject to call and payment.
As it is the judgment of this committee
that 1t is ineXpedient to suspend the coin
age of standard silver dollars under the
existing law, and as in the Judgment of
the Treasury officials additional vault
room for the safe storage of coin should be
provided; therefore
mend that the Committee on Appropria-
tions appropriate such a sum as they shall
be advised is necessary for providing such
additional vault room; and we further re-
commend that such additional vault room
should be located in the Mississippi valley,
at such point or points as may be deter
mined by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The resolutions were adopted by a vote of
6 to 3, Mr.. Hazeltine (Green., Mo. not

were Belford, Mcclure and Payson, Re-
publicans, and Singleton, Rosecrans and

Washington Special to tie Bossoz Post.
The Republicans in the House of Repre-

that the whole tariff question NAV be left

this, they sit like stalled oxen and listen
to speeches on the amendments. as cattle

They propose neither to speak nor to vote
for any amendments offered by any Demo
crat. 1t is in this intelligent way that the
Republicans are legislating on the tariff,

bill will nass, and that reductions

discussion Mr. Springer alluded 10 the
large majority which he had received at
the last election, which was explained by
Mr.. Thomas as arising from the fact that
this district produced corn, corn produced
whisky, and whisky produced Democrats.
Mr.. Springer replied that good many De-
mocrats had been produced recently. Mr..
Cox then called attention to the fact that
more whisky was consumed in States
which voted the Republican ticket than
in Democratic States. The trouble was
that the Republicans drank a good deal
elandestinely that was the ease in Maine.

WAITING AT THE GRAVE.
A Funeral Delayed While One is Dug in
the Frozen Ground

A special dispatch from Pittsburg. Pa.
says: The funeral Of Mrs; Annie Hiemil-
Ter, whose husband was accused of neglect
and cruelty, took place to-day. In the
carriage behind the hearse rode the hus-
band, attended by an officer. The process
sion proceeded to Uniondale Cemetery.
and, having driven to point near the
new Brighton road, halted.
An attendant at the cemetery came to
Biemiller's carriage and whispered a few
words in the officers ear. Biemiller then
attempted to get out. "HOld on.v said the
officer, ''don't get out yet. The grave
isn't dug" 1t was then learned that bv
some oversight no grave had been pre-
pared, and as 1t would take a long time to
dig one, owing to the frost in the ground.
the coffin was laid upon the ground. Bic.

manner in which the funeral was
conducted. 81 promised my wife,
said he, with tears in his eyes, ssthat

a grave and he was not able to say WHY
the order had not been filed.

FRED WOLFFE's DEFENDER.
Congressman Shelley Says He Is Not to
BIame-Vineent's Whiskers.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-Congressman
Shelley, Of Alabama, who is in the city,
expresses the opinion that Fred. Wolfe,
whose name has been used in connection
with-the default of State Treasurer Vim
cent, is in no sense responsible. The
business Of Wolfe is the buying and SELL
ing Of cotton futures on orders, and is re-
garded as a legitimate business, and
Shelley holds that there was
no impropriety in receiving
orders from man as well known as Vim
cent any more than other business men.
He says that furthermore a rumor OBJ
tanned general Gil culatiOn that Vincent
was speculating, and as ii was alleged he
had been successful, no one objected to it
and no steps were taken to inquire into
the prOpriety of such speculation until
the revelation of his defalcatiOn. 1t
was also said that Vincent was
fond of card playing, and that he played
for high stakes. If this is true, SAYS
Shelley, persons who played with him,
whether State, county or bank officers, or
private citizens, could be implicated in
the default with as much prOpriety as
Wolfe.
SELMA. ALA, Feb. 5.-The Sheriff of
this county to-day levied on the stock of
Fred Wolfe in the Cincinnati, Selma and
Mobile Railway Company, of which he is
the President. 1t was done on an attach
ment by the State of Alabama in the de-
falcation case against Treasurer Vincent
MONTGOMERY, Feb. 5.-The report that
Vincent has been recently seen in Nash
vile with his beard shaved off is incOr-
rect. He was seen in Nashville by three
gentlemen last Tuesday, who say he was
looking as usual.

TOWNSVILLE, GA. Feb. S.-The people of
Thomasville and vicinity are delighted at the
passage OF the bill, by the Florida Legislature,
chartering and granting aid to the Thomas
vile. Tallahassee and Gulf Railroad. This
insures the speedy building Of the road. When
completed ThOmasyille will be within three
hours ride OF the Gulf of Mexico. Mr.. John
E. Page, the energetic manager Of this enter
prise, is entitled to the lasting gratitude of
the people of Middle Florida and South
Georgia. He has given ten months unre-
hitting labor to this scheme, and his plans
will soon ripen into reality. The construction
OF this road will add no little to the prosperity
and commercial Importance of IhOmasyille.
Situated. as we will soon be, within six hours
OF Jacksonville and Savannah, three hours Of
the Gulf. and within fifteen to eighteen hours
ride Of New Orleans, we viii, in the
matter of railroad facilities, be abreast
OF the most favored cities in the State.

EGYPT.
Great Distress at Alexandria.
II


Great distress prevails here among the
poorer Europeans, and many cases of eX-
treme suffering have recently been brought
to light. This condition of affairs arises
from two causes; First, from the heavy
losses sustained by all classes in cOnse-
quence OF the bOmbardment and pillage of
the city; and, second, from the stagnatiOn
of business.
The chief cause of this stagnatiOn is the
absolute inability of the Fellaheen to pay
the debt contracted last spring, to be paid
out of the proceeds of last seasons crops,
which were in many cases utterly ruined
by the operations of the cOntending ar
mics, or so badly damaged through lack
of proper cultivation as to show but a
meagre yield.
Even those Of the Fellaheen who are
able to pay positively refuse to do so.
While they may acknowledge the business
of the claims they often allege superior
orders as a reason for resisting their pay
ment, and, as matter of fact, but little
assistance can be obtained from the local
authorities

A SIGHT FOR wOMAN's TEARS.
Ruined Dress Goods Which Covered an
Acre Ten Feet Deep.
W, VII. O..

The scene on the burned Inman steam
ship pier yesterday would have grieved
any woman's heart. The pier, which is
more than an acre in extent, was piled
ten feet deep with the ruins of the finest
imported dress goods. The fire insurance
men had been pulling them about in order
to eXtingqish smouldering fires, and had
brought to the surface goods that were
only partly burned, Mixed up in the
charred heaps were oamel's hair shawls,
lace handkerchiefs, gold-embroidered cur
tains, Administer carpets, brocades, gay
chintzes, rolls of heavy black silk, fine
laces, ladies' suits, Hamburg edgings,
and kid gloves. Altogether, some 1865, 900
worth of ruined goods lay on the pier.
These are wholesale rates and no duties
paid. Near the entrance to the pier were
scattered the remains of many books. An
insurance man picked up large revolver.
1t was estimated that the salvage might
come to $4,000. The fire-boat Manhattan
was busy all day throwing water on those
parts Of the fire which were still burning.
There have been no inquiries for miss
ing men. None are missing, and it is not
believed that any were lost, as all had
ample time to escape. A cold, heavy fog
clung to the pier all day. The insurance
men warmed themselves about spots
where fire still smouldered.

PRINCE NAPOLEON INDICTED.
The French Senate Known to be Against
the Expulsion Bill.

PARIS, Feb. 5.-The lS0ir anticipates
that there will be a majority of fifteen
votes in the Senate against the expulsion
bill. Examining Magistrate B. L. Benoit
to-day made an order sending Prince
Jerome Napoleon before the court on an
indictment for an attempt to overthrow
the existing regime. The court will de-
eide the case within a week.
The Senate has elected a commit
tee on the expulsion bill. Eight of
the members of the committee are op-
posed to the whole bill. They include
Barthelemy Saint Hilaire, Waddington
and Leon Say and Count de Saint
Vallier.- The only member favorable
to the bill is Testetin. The opponents
represent 145 votes, while it is calculated
that 11O Senators are prepared to support
the bill. 1t should be observed that Leon
Say is particularly warm opponent of
the measure. He eloquently opposed the
bill in the meeting of the Bureau of Left
Centre.

NO REVISION THIS SESSION.
Almost a Certainty That No Tariff Bill
Will be Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Despite the fran
tic efforts of the Republicans in the House
to apply the gag law, to whip and spur
the tariff through the House next Tues
day, their motion to that effect made
by Kelley was to-day defeated
They did not have the necessary two
thirds vote. All attempts to cut off de-
bate in the Senate have also been de-
feated. The Republicans are putting on
a poor mouth, and crying that the Demo-
Gratis have decided to kill any tariff legis-
latiOn this session. This was charged in
the House to-day.
The Democrats very effectually refU-
ted it by saying that they were in favor of
tariff revision but not of measures which
while they were entitled acts to relieve
the burdens of the people, in reality fur
ther added to those burdens. The re-
suit of to-day's action in Con-
gress makes it almost certain that
there will be no tariff legislation
this session. The somewhat brighter
prospects for legislation of that character
which were noticed last week have disap-
peared. The Republicans realize this in
trying to fool the people by the cry that
they are unable to revise the tariff on ac-
count of Democratic opposition, but they
cannot make much out of that.
