to learn that Messrs. S. B. Burbank and A.
J. Trone have leased Phoenix Hall for the
term of one month from next Thursday,
and will conduct a rolIer-skating rink there
cool enough to make this heathful and
pleasant exercise thoroughly enjoyable, and
those who participated in the amusement
with such zest last spring will find it doub-
ly agreeable at this season of the year. The
rink will be opened next Thursday even
ing with a grand skating main, closing
with hop, and the occasion promises to
be one of much brilliance and enjoyment
The price of admission will be 25 cents:

tlemen, including admission to afternoon

and his partner is son of Mr.. Tron6 of
Napoleonville, skillful skater and young
gentleman with whose appearance we have
been very fayorably impressed.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Strong Opposition to the Spanish Treaty
| No Tariff Bill this Session-Mr. Randall
going Sout1l-Tlle Dupont Statue -Inger-
soils Fee in the Star Route Case.
| WASHINGTON, D. G., December Is, 1884.
EDITOR CHIEF:
The question of interest in Washington
now is the Spanish treaty submitted by
Minister Foster. As has already been gen.
orally published, the terms of this treaty
are such that its confirmation would reduce
the tariff on tobacco fifty per cent. and on
sugar in similarly radical manner. While
| the Senate has not yet reached discussion
of the treaty, its merits have been pretty
thoroughly debated by the Senators and
| members individually, and it is evident the
measure will encounter very strong oppo-
sition. The President, the Secretary of
State and Minister Foster have presented
their arguments in its favor, but the busi-
| ness interests involved nave replied with
vigor. The House also is inclined to treat
the matter coldly. The Democrats, as a
party, are not disposed to let Republican
administration deal thus peremptoriIy with
| tariff revision, and a very strong element
of the Republicans object very decidedly to
any such reciprocity. These are all strong
proteetionists, and it is generally under
stood that Mr.. Blaine is inspiring the op-
position on that score. Besides all this,
there is spirit of angry resentment on the
part of many members of the House of
Representatives at what they term an in
fringement of their prerogatives, claiming
that the Executive is practically usurping
the functions of the legislative power. So,
altogether, according to present indications
the prospects of the treaty-or for that
matter of any of the treaties-are not par
tieularly bright.
/ understand that Messrs. Morrison,
Mills, Blount and the Speaker have decided
that there shall be no tariff bill reported
from the Ways and Means Committee this
session. Mr.. Morrison wants to test the
sentiments of the new members elected to
the next House before urging the question
again. He hopes then to pass bill of his
own creation instead of pressing Mr.. Hew-
tits measure. It is said that the revenue
reformers will have unquestionable control
of the new House, and it is asserted by Mr..
Morrison's friends that the Republicans of
Missouri and other States where the anti
protection sentiment is strong have pledged
themselves to support bill to reduce du-
ties.
The announcement is made that Mr..
Randall will soon start on trip to the
West and South. He will go as far south
as Birmingham, Ala, and will visit Allan
ia, Nashville, Louisville and other cities.
His wife will accompany him, and he is
booked for number of speeches. There
is no special occasion or event atany of the
cities to call Mr.. Randall there. lis given

recess to meet his Southern friends who
have repeatedly invited him to do so, but it

delegations in the

THE MAUD OF THE PERIOD.

&A41L 4sAA OA oE
BY I. W. JACKSON.
Maud Parvenue one summer day
Went to the stable bright and gay
While standing by the open door
Ihe rich man passed In coach and four.
He glanced at Maud with loving air
Her father was millionaire
And Maud she gently moved her head,
I'm not be by rich man won
My pa can cover him ten to one,'
Into the stable then walked she
10 hear sweet words from the coachee.
The eoachman did not have much cash,
But oh he was lovely mash.
Down they sat ON bale of hay,
And this is what Maud heard him say:
will you fly with me, my pretty miss,
10 land that's far remote from this
'You know that time and time again,
I've told my love in the shady lane.
when driving, darling, by your side
I've often asked: Will you be my bride ? y
Then Maud made up her mind to slope
, And said to the coachee, We'll elope.''
One moonlight night they skipped away;
Mauu 3 tathef flged ana raSeti, they say.
But Maud was happy with her coachee,
As happy, as happy as girl could be.
Time passed on and the rich man wed
A vixen with carmlne head,
And often he has groaned and sighed,
Because Maud would not be his bride.
Maud's father drove her from his door,
And by and by grow very poor.
The rich mans wealth soon went complete.
For they played him well in wild Wall street.
The coachman bought him horses and hacks,
And for Niagara Falls made tracks;
And in a year or little more
He counted his millions by the score.
And when Maud's father heard the news
He had an awful tit of blues.
Then he tried to make the matter straight,
But got kicked over the coachee's gate.
OF all sad words from tongue of flesh,
The saddest are these I've been too fresh.
-Clerelend Leader.
