WASHINGTON. April II.
SENATE After short debate the
bill to authorize the Secretary of War to
adjust aud settle the account for arms be-
tween the State of South Carolina and the
United States was passed by 80 yeas to IL
nays.
The bill to authorize the location of q
branch home for volunteer disabled soldiers
in either of the States of Arkansas, Colorado,
Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri or
Nebraska came up next on the calendar. A
motion to recommit was voted down.
Mr.. Miller, of California, offered an amend
ment authorizing an inquiry into the expe-
diency of establishing . branch home in
California and transferring the vetera ms
home at Napa county for that purpose;
agreed to.
Mr.. Conger offered a similar amendment
for the establishment of a branch home in
Michigan and the use of the Fort Dearborn
military reservation for that purpose, which
was agreed to. The bill was then passed.
Consideration of the bankruptcy bill was
resumed at O'Clock. The paragraph in Sec
ten ~ referring to the fifth class of prior
claims was changed to read, "Wages due to
any workman or laborer employed by the
bankrupt or not exceeding $500 in amount to
any clerk"
Mr.. Conger moved to place this class of
claims at the head of the priority column;
rejected, yeas II, nays %.
Mr.. Hoar moved to modify by adding the
words Except in the course of business"
At 2:15, despite the protest of MIR. Hoar,
who wanted to finish the bill this evening
and the warning of Mr.. Plumb that he
would antagonize it with the postofiee ap-
preparation bill tomorrow, the Senate ad-
journed.

BY the school was followed by Miss Hettie

displayed much practical sense in her re-
marks on the duties of women and the means
Of making home beautiful and happy. Her
elocuiion was very good. She received two
baskets of flowers. Miss Mary E. DaRgetr's
essay on 1.-The American Girl in Fiction

William s. Pewtress, was finely done. Then
Miss Lucretia 81. Dayton spoke of "Cheer-

ceived beautiful basket of flowers. The
last essay, with the valedictory, was by Orlando

Shakespesre's plays" His speech showed
q remarkable appreciation of Shakespeare
for one so young. His valedictory, while
following the usual strain, was well written
and delivered.
Another song followed and then Superin-
tendent Dutton rose to confer the diplomas.
He made few preliminary remarks in which
he said: AS representative of the Board of
Educstion it is my privilege to bestow the
ship. We trust you will all acquit your
selves well and cause the brightest hopes
of your future to be fully realized. Go forth
with the best wishes of MS all and may our

Eebehr Rasha,s ResitIOn-Eifs Reasons
For Declining to Go to the SOudan.
CAIRO. April 17.-Zebehr Pasha in an in
tsrview to-day gives his reasons for refusing
the proffered position of assistant governor
of the Soqdsn. He says that he is perfectly
willing to go to the Soudan provided that his
position there shall be Independent and en-
tirely free from interference, particularly on
the part of the English. Should ne go to
KhartOum as subordinate be would prob-
ably fail to accomplish any particular good,
as he entirely disagrees with many plans
of settlement which General Gordon is
now attempting to carry out. He feels
confident that he would feel himself ham,
pered in many ways and often prevented
from doing the very things which his long
experience with the tribes might suggest as
being expedient and the surest to lead to sue
cess. He is determined to serve under no
master beside the Khedive and insists that
no hope for peace can be placed in policy
dictated by Europeans. In conclusion he
said: s.Nabar Pasha, who has proved him
self worthy of the confidence of his people,
is confident that should go TO Khartoum ]
would find no difficulty in pacifying the
soudap, but he does not press me to go there
under circumstances which would practically
nullify slf my efforts.

The Present and the Past.

The present Of public and private
good has its roots in the past. The
roots in the vegetable kingdom elabor-
ate below ground material and quality
of growth. Stem and branches above
do not miss this preparation. If they
miss it they die. 1t appears in ever
enlarging widthand beauty The little
stream, the great river, is at every
point receptive Of the waters flowing
down from the slopes above. To stop
and stagnate is not allowed by the cast
of nature and al unseen intelligence.
Mother birds sing to their children
with all the melody of which they are
capable; the children hear and give
out the same sweetness in grove and
door yard, house-top and forest, to the
farthest years. The mind in its cease
less activity may think out new
SYSTEMS after which the universe and
all existence subsist. In that way old
systems may go out of fashion, as it
regards the building of this universal
manse and its tenantry. But an active
interest in the welfare of the race never
goes out of fashion. Is the past far
away from the present, the branches
far away from the roots, the head from
the feet, the river in its depth from its
hillside fountains? But the former
cannot do without the latter. For very
life the connection is chung to. Along
with contemporaneous instincts and
the determinations of good sense let
the present draw from the sources of
antiquity. Req. ". w. BickneU.

Tack Making Machine.

A Connecticut man has perfected an
automatic machine for making uphol-
sterers' tacks, and is producing the
goods at Torrington. These tacks
have so far been always imported, and
the secret of the English manufacture
is not known. Various attempts have
been made in this country to devise
machinery for producing these goods,
but resulting il failure. One firm
sunk $50, 600 in the endeavor. Another
firm fifteen yearsago, partly succeeded,
but failed financially. The new ma
chine turns ont perfect tacks at the
rate Of $50 per minute. An average
days work is 6O,0D0 One man can
take care of four of these machines.
By using different dies the heads may
be either round or cone-shaped, and
several sizes can be made After shap-
ing another machine polishes the face
of the metal The immense quantity
used is shown by the fact that an I'M
porter in New York receives eight or
ten million of these tacks monthly

Democratic voters and asprants for
Office attack the political economy of
the Republican party, harpng upon the
excess of revenue above the actual ex-
penses of the government, and calling
it corruption fund. They overlook
several important facts and make some
bare assumptions. 1t is true that we
are every day paying an indirect tax to
the government by paying higher
prices for certain articles than they
would cost were the duties removed,
but how would the laborer get even the
less price to pvy were our ports thrown
open to the competitor of cheap Euro
pean labor? Under system that pro-
tects and keeps alive our home indus
tries, we are enabled to give employment
and adequate wages to the millions OF
laborers in our country, to pay the ex-
penses of the general government, to
decrease as fast as possible the public
debt, and to have in the trea sury sur
plus to devote to the public education
of our children, 10 the improvement of
our facilities for inland commerce, and
to many needed public improvements.
But the reduction of the public debt,
the expenditure OF money for great
national improvements. are overlooked
and national aid to public education
opposed by this party, because they
wish to assume that any surplus above
actual necessary expenses must be used
as a corruption fund.

Thad Pound of Wisconsin, a gentle

ment of Brains, has come out against

Pound reached the conclusion that the
republic was bound to 90 to eternal
smash four years ago, when, bv Mr..
Baine's intervention, he failed to get
a place in Garfield's Cabinet. That's

Pretty soon he came along with some

he replied and passed on, laughing at
my ignorance.
Then he brought some apples little
hard apples that grocers sell at eight

'How much?"
"Three for ten cents"
"How did jesse use to rob trains ?"
"Why, he put pistol against a pas
senger's head and made him shell out"
"Ahl carried pistol, did he?"
'You bet he did" said the train boy.

What train did jesse run on?"
ANY one that happened along. He
most always picked his train when there
were good many passengers"
L looked around and saw there were
few persons in our coach and [ felt
easier.
Soon the train boy came in with some
prize packages.
Are you sure Jesse James is dead ?"
l asked
"Of course he's dead. Bob Ford fix
ed him. BY the way, a life of the Ford
brothers would sell by the million right
now"
"And do You think the revolver will

''Eh?"
''Do you think your business will

the perplexed train-bov.
