DAVIS MAGNANIMIrY.
Tho Last onielnl Act of senator Henry''

The Last unciM ACT OIL bcnhtoE heuEJ
From Our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The last act of
Henry G. Davis in the United States Sem
ate was one Of magnanimity and justice. In
the conference committee on the sundry
Civil Appropriation bill, an amendment
was inserted to pay the employees oil the
House OF Representatives and Senate one
months extra pay. This did not include
the Capitol Police force, who are
about as hard worked class Of en-
ployes around the Capitol as can be
found, for the reason that they are not
borne on either OF the regular pay rolls Of
the two Houses, but are paid one half the
year by the Senate and the other hall BY
the House. After the adoption Of
the conference report In the Senate
at s o'clock this morning, Mr. ingalls,
offered joint resolution which
had already been adopted by the House
to allow the police force one month extra
pay as an act OF equity, but there being 9
slim attendance II was apparently voted
down without division and the Sem
ate then took q recess until 10
o'clock this forenoon. After the Senate
had assembled to-day Mr.. Davis arose and
asked for reconsideration Of the vote by
which the resolution was defeated, ex-
planning that usually he was opposed to
allowing employees extra compensation for
services never performed, but in this
case he asserted that the other employees
having been allowed 0 months extra pay
II was not right that the police force should
be an exception. His explanation and up;
peal for justice had the desired effect, and
The vote was reconsidered, and the resolu-
tion passed almost unanimously.

whisky Bond Bill.
WAsnrSoroM, D. c., March 4-The clos
| ing hours OF the House were more amusing
than profitable. The Senate adjourned al
12 o'clock to-day without transacting any
important business.
In the House the great struggle was tc
get vote on the whisky bill extending
the bonded period. At 4:S0 o'clock q
motion was made for recess, but the
friends OF the bill opposed it and raised a
point OF no quorum. For half an hour the
telIers stood in their places and became
the butt OF jocular remarks and suggestions
on the part OF the members.
At 8 o'clock Mr.. Butterworth moved TO
proceed to business on the Speakers table,
motion which was greeted with shout
OF laughter and was ruled out OF order by
the Speaker. The Speaker suggested that
there were upon his table,a number Of i'm.
portant House bills with senate amend.
ments which should be considered, and he
asked unanimous consent for that purpose
| A TART CONTROVERSY.
Butterworth objected, which led to the
remark from Steele that the whisky bill
was standing in the way Of other business
Butterworth replied with some warmth
that the whisky bill was entitled to as
much consideration as any other measure
AS morning approached, however, sleeE
departed, and members appeared as bright
as in the early hours Of the evening
Shortly before dawn Mr. Young suggested
compromise proposition that at II O'Clock
the House should vote upon the whisky bill
and election case. Randall objected
"Do you propose" queried White "tc
swap off a. colored Representative for
whisky"

ness which was relished by the
House and greeted with laughter
"but / am unwilling 10 swap off col

gentleman know what q crank is?" Laugh

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Van Wyck's at
tack on Brewster in the Senate last night
was notthe only cause Of Don Cameron's
anger. Years ago when old Simon Cameron
was in. the House Of Representatives, Van
Wyck, who was also a member, made a
bitter personal attack on him, and the son
remembering this insult to the father, was
excusable for his anger, and in his nervous
and excited state, the wonder Is that he
stopped when he did, as all present thought
the Senate was saved the odium Of hearing
one Of their members branded'as "liar."
The epithet was applied in effect, and
nearly everyone thinks deservedly.

A day or two since fStroft woman
called at police headquarters and gave
notice that her son, young man of
seventeen, had suddenly disappeared
and she had reason to think he had been
drowned.
..Where do you think he was
drowned?" asked the clerk.
"Well, | think it was off the foot Of
st. Aubin Avenue.
ave will send an officer to investi-
gate and, perhaps, drag the river"

she continued to hang around the Of
flee the clerk finally asked if she wan
ted anything further.
about how much will it cost to find
if my son was drowned and to drag for
the body?"
'.It won't cost you anything" ma
dam.
"But how much will it cost the cityP"

estimated at three dollars. :"
II was thinking, sir was thinking
if it wouldn't be cheaper for the city
to give me that amount in cash and not
take any steps at all, for shouldn' t
a bit wonder il Henry ran away to To-
ledo and is all right! Three dollars is
quite a sum To a poor widow like me.

At the clock on the gallery to be assured
that his watch hasn't been stopped ever
since last Sunday. Then he makes a
movement to close the watch and re-
turn it to his pocket, but changes his
mind, looks at it again. smiles a de-
spairing smile, and holds his hand up a
little so that his neighbor can see what
time it is. Then, with long. fixed
look at you, he clicks his watch shut
and slowly returns it to his pocket with

vi. THE SoUEAKER.- comes in
late. His pew is the furthost from the
door. His boots are vocal monsters
that are never worn save on the Sab
bath day to keep it noisy. Down the
long aisle he walks, squee-squaw, squee-
squaw. When he reaches his pew there
are strangers in it. He is the soul of
hospitality, and he wouldn I disturb one
of them for $1,000. Back he goes to a
seat under the gallery, squee-squaw,
squee-squaw. Then he remembers that
he has a notice for you to read, and back
he squeaks to the pulpit, hands you the
wrong notice, and solemnly squawks
back to the door, and once more squeaks
notice, and calmly squawks back to his
distant seat, he alone solemn, while all
others are inclined to smile. The
squeaker is such a good man you can't
bear to scold him. He's awfully good.
And the gooder he is the worse he
squeaks.
VII. The TALKING TRAvELER.-This
brother is usually a sister. She comes
to church Sunday morning careful and
troubled about all the unfinished mis-
sionary and sewing circle business of
the week. She has no idea Of going
directly to her own pew, but she heads
straight for some other sister, and in
the solemn hush that precedes the SER
vices and all the time the congregation
is gathering, you can hear her voice as
cending high in sibilant buzzes. From
the first sister she fits TO another, and
buzz, buzz, buzz, the talk goes on. Her
voice rises higher as the choir inter-
rupts her conversation with voluntary,
and only when the minister rises for
prayer does she relapse into enforced
silence The time of the short prayer
she utilizes by travelling to her own pew,
so she rustles and patters an accompani.
ment to the invocation, dropping into
her seat with the amen. Then she looks
across the church, and seeing sister
over on the other side whom she had
been unable to include in her itinerant
caucus, she noiselessly shapes half
dozen words at her with her mouth,
which she opens and shuts, and expands,
in this voieeless effort, in such dreadful
pantomime, that if il were not in church
you would think the sister was .wear-

Three-for-a-Qdar.er Cyclones.

A well-known gentleman of this city
tells of a miniature cyclone which he
saw in operation few days ago. He
was driving along Ford Street, and
when near Asylum Street, felt sudden
puff of wind and looking to the west
saw on the water the track of narrow,
violent wind, which almost Immediately
lifted column Of water ten to twelve
feet high, and which seemed about four
feet in diameter, and must have been
produced by a violent rotary movement
in the air. This column moved across
the river, and the dust which preceded
it was SO violent as to lift and move the
carriage.
The occupant drove on at once to get
out of the course of the disturbance,
and the whirlwind was broken by build
ings on the east side of the street with
out having done any harm. Many per-
sons have noticed of late the frequency
and force Of the little whirlwinds that
are SO often seen catching up dust and
dead leaves. They leave usually very
little trace, but for some days past they
have been more apt to mark perfectly
clean course few inches wide This
has been noticed repeatedly in the Pros
pect Hill region and out Pennington
Avenue. and of course, points to I'M
usual force and well defined limit of
action rs characteristic of the disturb
ances which seem to be in every essen
tial particular mere undeveloped cy-
clones. -Hartford Post.

Working the Butter.

Butter may be spoiled in working it.
The object in working the butter is to
remove the buttermilk, work in the
salt, and form it into solid mass.
After the butter has come in the churn
and before it has been gathered into a
mass, it is well to drain off the butter
milk, add clear cold water, rinse il
about, and add more water till it passes
off clear, and the butter is quite free
from the milk. 1t is then to be re-
moved from the churn and sailed, usu-
ally Mt the rate of about one ounce of
salt to the pound of butter. The but
ter sharld be marked with a ladle or
butter marker, and not be touched with
the hands. When it has been worked
till the salt is pretty evenly distributed,
set it aside to stand for twenty-four
hours or less. 1t will then appear
streaky, and is to be worked over till it
it becomes free from the streaks, and is
even in color throughout. The first
working requires about ten minutes for
a churning Of twenty to twenty live
pounds, and the second working about
fifteen minutes. The making Of good
outter is a fine art of itself, but when
this art has once been acquired. it is an
accomplishment of which no one need
