BentOn's Last Scene in Congress.

Ben: Perey Poores "reminiscences
After Thomas H. Benton retired from the
Senate he was elected a representative in Con-
gress from the st. Louis district and served one
term. l remember we'll the last night of his
term in the House. Benton held to the strict
construction that the time was up at midnight
on the Sd of Mrrch The House often went over
the hour Sometimes they stopped the clock
until they concluded the pending business and
got ready for the final adjournment. That night
Benton sat very still and grim looking in his
seat occasionally glancing at the clock. When
the long hand showed but few minutes to II
he opened his desk took out the things in it, and
heaped them up before him on a big bandana
handkerchief which he had spread out When
they were arranged he drew up the handker-
chief, tied the corners and held the bundle
ready. Twelve came and passed. In few min
utes there was a roll-ean. Mr.. Benton's name
was reached He rose in response, and said in
severe tones: The time for which / was elected
to the House of Representatives having expired,
do not consider myself longer member, and
decline to vote" 1t was intended for rebuke at
what he deemed the irregularity of continuing in
session after midnight on the last day. The
words were scarcely out of Mr.. Bentons mouth
when the Speaker raped on the desk and
shouted: 'The sergeant alarms win remove from
the floor of the House all persons who are not
members Great shouts Of laughter went up,
in the midst of which Mr.. Benton arose. very
angry, gathered up his bundle and marched out
of Congress That was the closing scene of his
long career here. He never came back again.

Scarcity of the Articles-How tho Soldiers
Make Substitutes.
Correspondence London Times.
In all Dongola to-day there are not probably
one dozen tumblers, as Englishmen ordinarily
know that indispensable vessel. How we man
age, therefore, to get tumblers is in this way:
Empty glass bottles are taken, a piece of stout
cord is wound once round about the middle.
then the cord is pulled backward and forward
till the glass is heated by friction, when it is sud-
denly dipped in cold water. This last operation
causes the glass to break in straight fracture,
and furnishes a very seryicea5le tumber for
camp or picnic. We make glass-lamp candle
sticks in a similar way, only we cut off the
thick end of the bottle, slip the candle into the
neck, setting the lamp up by inverting
the bottle and sticking the neck into
a hole bored in the table. Condensed milk tins,
meat tins and other odds and ends thought
lessly discarded at home are saved to make
cups, mugs, plates, etc Alas! there is little use
now for tumblers or cups except to hold water,
coffee. tea and occasionally milk. The last
drop of wine or strong drink of any kind known
to Europeans was consumed over a week ago.

left in Dongola is most yillainous native com

A sherinrs Posse outwitted.

KITTANNING, Pa, Dec. Thieves entered
the general supply store of R. & E Mechling,
in East Franklin township, early on Saturday
morning, and, after chloFeforming and binding
Ross Mechling, took $500 in money,
and, with a horse and wagon, stolen
from stable, carried away several hundred
dollars worth Of goods. On recovering from the
effects of the chloroform, Mechling cam to Kit
tanning, and, with posse of ten men, heavily
armed, under command of Deputy Sheriff
Henry started in pursuit of the robbers, who
were traced to Glade run, where they were hiding.
The pursuers fired several shots, but
the outlaws outwitted them by taking
refuge in a deserted house and escaping
through a back window. The sheriff's posse
then dismounted and left their horses in charge
of d. W. Hill while they secured tho country
for the robbers. When they came back they
found the horses gone and the guard bound and
gagged. During their absence the robbers had
returned and, after making Hill a prisoner,
mounted the horses and rode away. Another
posse is searching the thickets to-day.

ito declare the forfeiture of certain lands granted
in aid OF construction of railroads in Oregon,
known as the Oregon Central railroad bill. On
Tuesday Senator Harrison will call up the bin for
admission Of Southern Dakota as a State. This
measure is expected to give rise to considerable
discussion, which will probably be political in
character. On Thursday, Senator Cullom will,
If possible, call up the interstate commerce bill.

rarily laid aside early in the-week, to give Sena-
ter Hill opportunity 10 make speech on his sill

TeIegraphy in Japan.

San Francisco Chronicle.
remember when the telegraph was first in
troduced into Japan there was always native
staff with one European in charge of the Office
At first while the Japs we're learning how to
send messages, they had TO rely upon that
European entirely. The natives themselves were
too proud to acknowledge ignorance of English,
and when message was brought in, if the ma
tive operator was there he would looked learned,
as if he understood all about it, and when the
sender left he would show the message to some
other foreigner and ask him to read it. This
lasted for awhile, until the firms began to
find out all about each others business and
then it stopped. But the Japanese are very pre-
else and correct, as rule, in their pronuncia-
ton of English, as they learn more or less like
parrots. One day man went into the Hiogo
telegraph Office with message to be sent to
Osaka. The polite Jap took it from him, looked
blandly over it and then said

pamaging wind Storm at Sam francisco.

SAN Francisco, Dec. IA terrific norther
commenced blowing at midnight and has con-
tinued all day. The storm is the most violent
ever experienced hero. Passengers on the ferry
boats were made sea-siek, street signs were
blown down and windows blown in. Several
vessels broke from their moorings and washed
ashore, and many others were seriously dam
aged. The American ship Edward O'Brien got
into such dangerous position that her captain
paid steam-tug $1,000 to tow him to a safe
anchorage. Two sections of the sea-wal were
smashed ill., and the breakwater at the foot Of
Green street completely washed away. 1t is i'm
possible to estimate the damages. No casual
ties reported outside
