WASHINGTON, d. c., December L.
Twenty-seven Senators were in their
places when the gavel fell at twelve
O'Clock. The Chaplain, in his opening
prayer, alluded feelingly to the deaths of
Senator Anthony, Secretary Folger and
Representatives Evans and Duncan. He
implored that in the new era they were
entering upon the only sectional rivalries
might be in paths Of progress.
Senator Germans desk was banked up
high with flowers. Floral ROSTERS of elab-
crate design lowered high above his
head. One bore the inscription: "Oh,
such day-so fought, so followed and so
fairly won, came not till now to decorate
the times since Cesar's fortune" An
other design ornamenting this particular
desk was, Preserved for A. p. g., 1887"
A third rooster OF flowers decorated the

London Telegraph.
Human nature can be subjected to
no more agonizing suspense than that
endured by relatives and friends who
anxiously await the arrival of an
overdue ship, on board of which some
one dear to them has taken passage
FROM distant port. On the 18th of
March 1041, the President-one of the
finest passenger steamers of the time
left New York for Liverpool with
many passengers on board. Three or
four days afteri her departure she en-
countered a terrific storm not far to
the south of Cape Race, and was seen
by a French sailing vessel to enter a
thick cloud or rain-storn which
brooded upon the face of the deep and
obscured the heavily-laboring vessel
from view. In half an hour or so
the cloud lifted, but no President met
the anxious eyes of the gazers, who,
IN the phrase of French mariners,
''lntorrogated the horizon" IN search
of the missing object. There was no
possibilities of her having run into an
iceberg or come into collision with an
other ship; but against her name in

A Wonderful Artesian Well.
Denver News.


Denver has struck another bonanza,
900 feet under ground. It does not
create as much excitement as the Pts
gah Mountain fraud, but the sickIy
denizens of the foothills stand a show
of being benefited. 1t has been shown
by analysis that the water from the
900foot vein of the artesian well, to
which the County Commissioners are
sinking in the court house yard, pos
sesses the same properties as those of
the famous Spa water in Germany
1t is impregnated with carbonate of
iron and carbonic acid. It is free ffom
all organic impurities, and contains,
further, many of the most famous
qualities of curative waters. The water
flows at the rate of 2,200 gallons per
diem, but its pressure shows that it
can be raised in a pipe to a height of
120 feet above the surface. The main
flow yields 5000 gallons per diem,
and can be raised seventy-one feet
above the surface of the earth.

When Millard Fillmore entered the
house in the twenty-third congress as
the representative from the Buffa-
10 district, Andrew Stevenson, of
Virginia, occupied the speakers chair.
When Mr., Fillmore rose to make his
maiden speech a set of ill-mannered
democrats Immediately endeavored to
cough and scrape him down. Mr..
Stevenson, observing the noise and
discourtesy, raped strongly and
loudly with the speakers hammer,
and called "Orderl order!" in a deci-
sive tone, and said: ''The honorable
member from New York will take his
seat until order is restored" Mr..
Fillmore accordingly sat down, and,
on the disturbance being entirely
quelled, Mr.. Stevenson said: "Order
having been restored, the honorable
member from New York will proceed
with his remarks" Mr. Fillmore, on
this intimation, again rose and grace
fully expressed his Acknowledgements
to the speaker for his kind interposi-
ton, and added: ~ am satisfied, Mr.
Speaker, that the interruption I ex-
perienced did not proceed from the
gentlemen on the other side of the
house."

WASHINGTON, May 26.-In the Washington

its platform for tariff REFORM are included two
Indiana members. Judge Holman said:
81 have always taken it for granted that the
old ticket would be nominated and the old plat
form adopted, including, of course the demand
for tariff for revenue only. If the positive de-
clination of Mr.. Tilden should prevent the nomi-
nation of the old ticket, there will be no reason
to give up the old Democratic doctrine OF a
revenue tariff as opposed to the protective
theory. Whatever may be the outcome
as to candidates, the Democratic party will
push right along with its purpose to reduce the
revenues to an amount sufficient for the wants
of the government economically administered,
and it will effect this reduction in harmony
with the Democratic theory of taxation
Mr. Matson said: Il desire very plain declara-
ton in favor of tariff for revenue as 1 suppose
all Democrats do. There is no constitutional
warrant for any other than revenue tariff.
Congress has no right to tax the people for pro
lection of any branch of business. But there
will be no trouble on this question at the ma
tional convention. The theory of tariff for pro
lection is distincly Republican idea, and
between that and the Democratic doctrine of
a revenue tariff the issue will be clearly de-
fined u

in in favor of the nomination of the old ticket,

statesman is in training. This does
not suit the immediate followers of Speaker
Carlisle, who takes the ground that such
a ticket would indicate compromise had been
effected between the protectionist and free-trade
wings of the Democracy, and that the tariff
would not be brought prominently into the
campaign as an issue. They declare that Nor
rison would be false to the principle of tariff re-
form should he accept position on the presl-
Dental ticket with Tilden. 1t is an undoubted
fact that there are dissensions existing in the
ranks of the tariff reformers and that they
are already divided over the question of the
