How Jones Discovered His Christmas
Present

Peace, like a white-winged dove, has
lately brOOded over the Jones family:
but one day last week the demon Of dis
cord entered most unexpectedly, Jones
was getting ready 10 20 down town in
the morning, and in looking for hand
kerchief in the family bureau found
drawer that resisted HMM fact il was
locked, most unheard.of thing in that
family. a first II only made Jones
mad, because the resistance threw him
across the room, and bounced him up
against chill'onier on the other side,
but when he rcgained consciousness he
called Maria and asked her with white,
calm lips, where the key was. She said
il was in her pocket He demanded it.
She refused 70 give il 10 him; and then
ensued one Of those most painful domes-
tic .ilences which are 50 much more
narrowing than words or blows Jones
went out and came IN for three days,
and sulked during the whole time, for
an awful suspicion had taken possession
OF him. He remembered that Maria
had been disiraught and mysterious
lately, with a CLASSY look in her eyes.
H. recalled the fact that several times
the door bell had rung in the evening
and she had cyaded his inquiry as to
who wa there He knew the evil ten
dency Of the age aud shuddcrcd at the
idea that Maria had met q hapdSomer
man than he. Grceu-eycd jealousy took
possession Of his soul and ate and ate IN
to his heart like canker,
But all things come to an end. One
night Mrs. Jones went out. and rs she
tripped past the parlor door she looked
in and said. "Jeptha, if you hear the
baby gurgle wish you'd look at him.
That was his opportunity or
never He crept softly upstairs and en-
tered the peaceful room where their
child was sleeping aud turned the gas
down TO the mereSt glimmeJ; then he
stealthily produced key and fitted il
into the lock Of that drawer and pulled
il silently open, aud there lay before
him--tho picture of that other man?
Oh, no. but pair Of slippers embroid-

Jones, this was even worse than be ex-
pected II is enough to break up any
man TO thrust a pair Of embroidered
slippers upon him, and as he stood and
looked and shivered aud realized that
the things were four inches too short
and had soft heels, he saw paper
sticking up curiously on one side. 1t
was addressed in mans handwriting
to Mrs. Jones. Ha' ha' this. then, was
a clue.
1t was; ii was the bill from the man
who sold the shoes, and it included one
for the velvet and another for the em-
broidery, and Jones was trying to foot
the matter up to his satisfaction when a
tremendous blow fell on his head and

THE FISHERY QUESTION.

One of the acts of the late congress
was the passage of joint resolution for
the termination of the fishery clauses of
the treaty of Washington. These were
put In the treaty out of consideration
for the Massachusetts, fishery interests,
but they have now tired of the treaty.
The report presented by the house COM
mittee On foreign affairs was to the effect
that termination before May, 1888, Is
necessary, to avoid the liability of the
United States to pay another compensa-
ton to Great Britain on a demand SINH
lar to that which led to the payment of
$500, 600 indemnity awarded by the
Halifax commission. Quotations are
made from Mr.. Evarts, who explained at
the beginning of the term of reciprocity
(twelve years. that unless due notice
shall be given, trouble might at any
time ensue after beginning to run on
another term. The report states that
the Canadian fisheries are nc longer of
special use to us since our fishermen
have learned to fish in the deep sea sue
cesstully, and by the use of seines and
trawl hooks to catch cod and hahbut,
and to take mackerel by intercepting the
fish off our shores; that they would pre-
fer TO pay the $50 license required for
fishing on Canadian grounds should
they want to fish there rather than be
subjected to the vexatious condition of
the treaty, which admits British fish
free. This free admission of fish
amounts to $500, 900 a year, or 81, $780,
900 in twelve years, which really goes
to stimulate the Canadian fishing inter
est and to correspondingly discourage
our own, while our fishermen are better
and more extensively equipped in boats
and appliances. The report anticipates
the objection which may be offered to
its conclusions By presenting deliberately
prepared tabular statements to show
that fish, IS an article of food or com
merGe, has been no cheaper on an aver
age during the times when either the
former treaty or the reciprocity treaty
have been IN force than when there was
no treaty at all. The conclusion reached
Is that our fishermen are discouraged,
and catch less fish when the conditions
Of a treaty give Canadian fishermen adj
vantages over them, and the price goes
up; when the Canadians are given no
advantage the business becomes more
profitable, more fishing Is done and the
price goes down.

Marriage of David Davis.

A dispatch from Fayetteville, n. c., dated
the 18th. says: sex Senator David Davis was
married to Miss Addie 4. Burr at Tollay the
residence of Col. Wharton Greene, this morn
ing. The marriage was private, no one beng
present except the members Of the family and
relatives from Boston. Mass. Judge W. T.
Otto was best man and Miss Sadie Greeue, Con-
gresham Greene's daughter, was the brides at
tendant. Col Greene gave the bride away. Mr..
and Mrs. Davis, Judge Otto, Congressman
Greene and Miss Sadie Greene left on the special
steamer Murchison after the ceremonies and
passed down Cape Fear River to Wilmington,
whence they go to southern cities. thence to
Cailfornla. and after short stay there, to
their home at Bloomington, H., where they
will hold reception The bride was alfred in
a travelling dress of brown silk and plush hat
to match, with plumes or ostrich feathers. Her
trosseau is magnificent. 1t inciudes fifteen
dresses, several by Worth. The gifts were very
numerous and valuable. The most noticeable
were pair of immense solitaire diamond ear
rings from the groom, a silver repousse punch
bowl, gold-llned, and collection Of rare books
from Judge Hunt and 4 cluster diamond pin
from Judge Otto. Hundreds of people assem-
bled at the wharf to see the boat leave"
The engagement of Senator Davis TO Miss A.
Z. Burr was made In Washington soon after the
Christmas holidays, winter of 1882. The
position of the groom and the prominence of
the bride in social life combined to make the
event notable. Senator DAVIS first met his
bride at Bloomington, ILL.,, during the lifetime
of his first wife. That lady and Miss Burr
were intimate friends. Miss Burr's parents
were born in Massachusetts. Her father was
a farmer of rather limited means, but, with his
wife, occupied position in the best society.
His sister became the wife of Capt. Charles
ElIery, who was rich and old. She had
a daughter. After the death Of Ellery she
married Gen. Greene, of North Carolina, who.
by former wife, had one son, Col. Wharton
j. Greene, now congressman from the Fourth
North Carolina District. Col. Greene married
Miss Elery who is now living, and who in
herited greal fortune.
