The MORRISON BILL.-The caucus
of the Democratic members of congress,
held at Washington on the 25th inst,
resolved to pass the Morrison tariff bill
The resolution as passed by the caucus
is as follows: "Resolyed, that the bill
generally known as the Morrison bill,
shall be taken up for consideration at
the earliest practical and reasonable
time, for debate and after such debate
that bill be passed for the reduction
of duties and the war tariff tax" The
resolution was adopted, ll6 to 81.
This is firm declaration of the Demo.
cratic position on the tariff question
Nothing but Republican flibustering
or executive interference, can prevent
the reduction of taxes and gradual de
cline in prices on the necessaries of life.

Lovers Parted in Switzerland, United
in the New world.

Elise Tschopp 20 years old, and
William Beth, aged % years, were
married at Castle Garden yesterday
after a rather romantic existence eX-
tending over a term Of three years.
Early in the summer of 1881, Elise
made the acquaintance of her hus-
band at social gathering in her faith

William was smitten by the charms
of the hosts pretty daughter, and as
their friendship ripened Elise found
herself in love for the first time Her
father refused to permit the young
couple to marry, as William was poor
and Mr.. Tschopp, although not
wealthy, owned little valuable land
and had small sum of money stow
ed away for a rainy day. The laws
of Switzerland not permitting a mar
riage without the consent OF the
brides parents, the couple were al
loss what to do, after clipping one Sep
TENDER evening TO neighboring vii
lage, wnere all the persons they ap.
d. led to refused to marry them.
William finally induced Elise TO
live with him in little hamlet few
miles from her fathers house, but
their life was miserable. Every one
Stunned them, and finally William,
driven by penury and want, came to
America, leaving Elise to make peace
with her father, which she was sure
she could do
William settled in this city and
prospered. and in the meantime Mr..
Tschopp forgave his daughter, who
devoted all her time to writing letters
to her lover here and educating her
child. About two moEths ago Mr..
Tschopp died, and being a widower,
all his property went to Elise, his
only child. After seeing her father
properly buried, she sold out hiS lands
and household, wrote TO William that
she was coming here, and took pass
age on the Cunarder Servia, which
! landed her at Castle Garden ter
/ day.
William was there to meet her, anc
after the first ecstasy of meeting was
over. Elise demanded that he marry
her at once This he was willing tC
do. and Pastor Burkemeier performed
the ceremony. The employees at the

A True Incident, In which May BE
Found a Pleasing Repetition of the
old, Old Story.
Washington News

Several years ago a gentleman liv-
ing in this city bought farm near
Wyoming, on the Delaware railroad,
lust below Dover. He removed
thither with his wife and only child.
q daughter now about twenty years
of age, a bright and intelligent girl.
To vary the monotony of her simple
rustic life she taught musicin the sur
rounding neighborhood With the
enioymeuts of her pleasant country
home she seemed contented until about
six month ago, when the whole course
of her life underwent a change. a
young man dressed like a laborer, but
showing evidences of a more refined
nature than his external appearance
indicated, applied for and obtained
work from the heroine's father. He
was a well-built, pleasant-iooking fell
low. although not handsome, and
wore a bright auburn beard. A mu-
tual atfectiOH sprang up between the
daughter of the household and the new
hand. a sharp watch was kept on the
maiden but nothing occurred to
arouse suspicion up&il about two
weeks ago, when matters We're rapidly
brought 10 a crisis. In one of her
usual rounds among her pupils the
girls mother was unayoidably absent
Her lover took advantage of the OPP
portunity, proposed was accepted,
and the twain went to the nearest
minister where they were made one
They returned later in the evening,
confessed, and the newly-made wife
pleaded forgiveness. Her father be
came very wroth at her undGtiful act
and vowed that the consequences
would be on her own head. This was
the night of the great storm Of June
25. The ireful father, after venting
his wrath on his daughter and her
husband, elected them, with a few
articles belonging to them, from his
home and told them never to return.
The young wife borne down with sor-
row, turned in despair to her husband,
and the latter proved himself to be
the true hero, as the sequel will
show.
Possessed of little money, they
went to her uncle's house, where they
stopped for the night. The next
morning, without any further parley
with the indignant father-in-law, they
went north on the first train and did
not stop until they reached Albany,
in New York state To the astoRish
ment of his wife he here disclosed his
true post on-the son of very wealthy
parents and himself possessed of a
competence in his own name. He
had fed from home for some folly,
but his parents received their new
daughter-in-law with open arms. A
letter Of explanation was sent. to her
parents at Wyoming, who were over
joyed at their daughters good for

The Jardin Mabille.
Parls AmerIcan Register.


Visitors to Paris viii be, perhaps
somewhat pleased TO know that an at
tempt is being made to revive the
glories of the Jardin Mabille at the
former Bessehevre concert. which has
been christered Tardin de Paris. The
disappearance If Mabille, after so
many years of world wide celebrity
was regretted in Paris. 1t was feat
are of the city which was thus effaced
and there seemed no reason to do
away with a place that used to com
bine so many attractions. With or
without Mabille the general morality
of Paris was bound to be the same,
and, as Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
herselfremarked, there was much less
ribaldry about the famous garden in
Montaigne avenue than might have
been supposed. 1t is singular indeed,
to recur to the description of Mabille,
written many years ago by Mrs.
Stowe. and one can not kut be aston
ished that lady, reared amid the Sc
we're piety of New England, was only
able to recognize the politeness and
comparative refinement whish char
acterized Mabille. AS to the mise en-
scene of the famous garden, that was
inimitable, and we doubt whether in
this respect the Jardin de Paris will
ever equal 1t.
