THE Senate did right yesterday in reject
ing the conference report on tho Greedy Re-
lief bill. No man should be compelled to
go upon such an expedition, and we. have
enough confidence in the gallantry of our
Navy officers to believe that there will be
no lack Of volunteers for the perilous trip.
To order an officer to post of danger in
battle is one thing. To order him to fight
icebergs is quite another.

The Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Com.
pany seems to be securing all the brains
that made the Western Union success.
Time alone can show whether this really
means independence or combination. The
b. & o. people assert most positively that
it means independence.

ONE of our District Commissioners is of
the opinion that the Blodget claim is a
greatercalamity than flood. OF course it
. is in the estimation of certain class. The
Blodget claim trenches on the rich mans
peace Of mind. The flood will sweep away
property oe many people who are not able
to bear the loss. Let the flood come, but
spare, oh spare, the rich mans peace of

BREWSTER, Attorney General, seems to
be in hurry about the appropriation for
his Department. He writes to the Senate
and tells that body that he wants the ap-
preparation at once. Suppose he explains
his mode and manner Of spending the peo-
ples money in the past before he gets into
such hurry,

COMMISSIONER WEST admits that Mr..
Crane pointed out one very serious flaw
in the license bill, that relating to junk
dealers. Now is it not just possible that
there may be Others, and is It not
therefore absolutely necessary that each
clause Of the bill should be very closely
scrutinized? Let us have law which
will not be unjust to any interest.

IL Wasn't n Mash.

Soon after we left Meridian, on the
way across to Vicksburg, a solemn-look-
ing old chap came into the smoker and
groaned and sighed and took on like q
man terribly distressed, and when we
asked him where he seemed to feel it
the worst, he replied:
Gentlemen, there is powerful good
looking young woman In the next car,
and she has fallen into the hands of
human hyena."
no" shouted three or four voices at
once.
"Yes, indeed. He's wicked-loolling
wolf in sleeps clothing. If l mistake
not, he represents some New England
machinery house. He's a squeezing of
her hand, and whispering of his love,
and the giddy thing has fallen right in
to the trap. l couldn't bear to see it
any longer, and so l came in here.
Gentlemen, some of you have daugh-
ters!"
Yes, there were three of us who had
old, and we were honest enough to adj
init it.
Just think of your daughters being
kayjoled by Philistine" he continued.
Hes talking, and hattering, and prom
Using. and she's somebody's daughter.
Gentlemen, something ought to be
did,
We agreed. We all lounged in and
saw that she was good-looking, happy
faced girl of 20, and we returned and
held an indignation meeting. After
fine display of eloquence and oratory it
was unanimously agreed that If the
masher got off at Jackson, where we
were to wait twenty minutes, the good
old man should go in and tell the girl
what was what. Jackson was finally
reached, and sure enough the human
hyena got off and ran into the hotel.
He was not out of sight when we all
entered the car, and the philanthropist
took a sa.t beside the girl and began:
my dear young lady, my heart is
sad-oh so sad for you You are on
the road to destruction
"W-what do you m-mean ?"'
81 mean that the villain who left you
moment ago is seeking to ensnare

"The v-villain
eyes, maam, the wolf in sleeps
clothing-the hyena in human form
The scoundrel whose very look proves
the vileness of his heart. l warn you
to beware of him as you would of n
serpent.
why, he's-he's my husbandl" she
shouted at the top of her voice, and the
next instant she had her fingers playing
through his venerable locks and ex-
cavating channels down his wrinkled
cheeks.
All of us got away at last and found
hiding places in the baggage and mail
cars-all but the old man. When ne
managed to get clear of the bride he
81 d off the car and took Decline up
town, and though he met several people
while in sight of us we couldn't see that
he stopped to answer any questions. =

The Woman Question In sweden.

Before the extensive use of steam
boats on the waterways around Stock
holm the Dalecarlian girls were accus-
toned to come to the capital in great
numbers each season to row the pas
senger boats from point to point in the
neighborhood of the city. This custom
still exists to some extent, and the Wis
itor may be rowed by buxom peasant
girl to an island restaurant, or across
an arm of the lake. The girls have
lost none of the moral independence
and the remarkable physical strength
which have since the beginning of
Swedish history distinguished their an
cestors. In the large cities they are
found to-day mixing mortar, carrying
burdens and rowing boats quite as
easily as the men, and quite as accepta-
bly, to the employers. The most famous
boatwomen are the girls of the parish
of Rattvik, whittier we had rambled in
the search of the mythical midsummer
dance. -Frdnk d. Millet, IN Hdrper'S.

Il understand that you have broken

Miss Piggleworth, said Col. Within to
young man.
ayes, decided that we could never
get along together.
What evidence had you of incompat-
ibility?'
Striking evidence. The last time !
was at her house she showed me de-
cided weakness in her character. Now,
if there is anything in this world that /
admire. it is strength. In my grand
admiration for strength, my dear
Colonel, l lose sight of hundred
faults.

Miss Piggleworth is a lady of strong

"Well, you see, while 1 was with her

was away from home. While we were
talking pleasantly servant entered
and said the washerwoman had come
and wanted her pay, and, sir, without
making an attempt to stand the woman
off, she deliberately paid the amount.
1 can't stand anything like that, and j
am convinced that she would not do for

FANNIE y. WARD, writing from the
line of the Mexican National railway,
says: "In course of the morning we
passed what was to us a singular spec
tacle-not flight of migratory birds,
but of yellow butterflies, darkening the
narrow valley by their myriads. There
were solid miles of them, vending their
way southwark, apparently by con-
certed and well-organized action. They
took no heed of the flying trains which
cleft their ranks, but each little creature
called mariposa in Castilian kept
steadily on his course. Millions of
them are thus seen in transit at this

A Stray Item.

Queen Margherita, of Italy, asked q
little girl to knit her pair of silk
stockings as birthday gift, and gave
her twenty lire to buy the material.
The Queen forgot the circumstance till
her birthday came, when she was re-
minded of it by the arrival of pair of
well-knit stockings and the makers
best wishes. Not to be outdone, Queen
Margherita sent n pair to her young
friend "a q return gift, one stocking be-
ing full of lire pieces and the other of
bonbons. They were accompanied by
little note: Tell me, my dear, which
you liked best?" A reply reached the
palace next day: Dearest Queen
Both the stockings have made me shed

He was masher holding up the cor

she interrupted with: Not mistaken
