WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 8.-Great
interest centres i'm the action Of the House
to-day on the Morrison tariff BILL and the
galleries were pretty we'll filed with spec.
tators. The morning hour having beon
dispensed with, the House at 11:10 O'Clock
went into committee of the whole on the
tariff bill. Mr.. Cox, of New York, was In
the chair.
Brown Pa) spoke iu favor of protec.
tion.
Townsend lIlls.) quoted from the vari-
GUS platforms OF the Democratic party to
support his arguments that that party was
always in favor Of tariff reform and always
declared FOR a revenue tariff. He thought
the proper time to begin the work Of tariff
reduction was just prior to the presidential
election, when the people could express
their views upon the subject.
Gibson (W. Va) was sorry that tho bill
did not do justice to his state, but 1t could
be amended and he would not act az an
obstructionist to much needed legislation.
Tie would not enter q coalition with the
Republicans to obstruot wise legislation
by the Democrats. He was willing to
trust to tho wisdom, honesty and good
sense of the friends Of the bill to do jus.
tice to all.
Mr. Randall Speaks.
Mr. Randall (pa.) thon took the floor
and spoke in opposition TO the bill. He
pointed out, first, how quickly capital
takes alarm ut adverse criticisms. "No
vindictive policy should be adopted" he
said, " for with stability as basis capital

Story of an Eminent Hoosier.

Readers may remember the story of
the v e grown youngster, George
Boone, Of Indiana, a descendant of
Daniel Boone, who was furnished with
an iron pot to wash his feet in by the
mother of the young lady he was paving
his addresses to (for the hospitality of
such q washing was common enough in
those ruder barefoot times), and how
his feet, being immensely large, got
wedged in the pot, and he had to break
it with an AK to get them out. That
same George Boone grew to be a
marked mar physically Che was six feet
eight inches high and politically, for
his fellow citizens elected him a State
Senator. Like Saul of old, he was
chosen to lead the people. An-eye-
witness describes the scene in the Sem
ate Chamber of an irritable little mans
attack upon the g~iant-which, however,
did not produce quite the effect of Da-
vid's attack upon Goliath.
Col. George Boone was an able de-
batter. His figure was so tall and COM
handing, his voice so strong, loud and
clear, his manner so plain and I'M
assuming, his GOODNESS and courage so
manifest, that he was both respected
and dreaded as an opponent.
While he was in the senate, a warm
ly-contested question came up for de-
bate. The gigantic colonel was the
leader of one side, and q senator of about
four feet ten, with limbs in proportion
and with a voice like a katy-did, led the
other side.
The chamber was crowded. The
colonel arose, with his eye on the chair,
and was speaking at the top of his
voice.
"That's a l;e!" squeaked out the little
opposition senator.
"As I was saying, Mr.. PRESIDENT
"That's a lie!"
Gas 1 wa saying"--
"That's a liel" in the same squeaking
voice.
Gas 1 was saying"-the big colonel
was going on, minding nothing at all
about the interruption-but by this
time the little senator could stand it no
longer. He sprang over the railing,
ran to where the colonel was standing,
and pounded him on the back.
"As / was saying, Mr.. PRESIDENT
the blows were repeated, while the
colonel, without taking the least notice
of the assault, continued to address the
senate until he had closed his speech;
then turning his eye ~curiously upon his
opponent
what are you doing here?" says
he.

VIC spare nea.

In view of the many serious and
sometimes fatal attacks Of sickness
known to have been occasioned by Sleep
ing in "The Spare Bed"-unoccupied
perhaps several weeks and ethering
dampness all that time-we venture,
even at risk Of encroachment upon the
domain OF "Home Interests" to quote
hers a bit of good advice from The
Michigan Farmer:
ut seems the plain duty of every
hostess either to make up her spare bed
as it is needed, or rob it of its sheets
and blankets long enough to air and
dry them thoroughly before . fire be-
fore putting q guest in the room. Some
good housekeepers never make up a
seldom used bed except as it is used.
but tuck the counterpart over tho
mattress, and put on the sheet and
pillow shams, that the room may not
look en- deshabille, and bring bedding
from the closet to make it up. This is
a good plan. Even if a fire can be
made in a guest room, the bedclothing
should be spread out before it and the
bed remade after airing and before oc-
cupancy. This may be extra work, but
a n with a conscience worth men
tioning will not weigh her trouble by
the side of her guests comfort, let alone
the risk of having a serious or perhaps
fatal illness traced to sleeping in damp
sheets at her house"

Another Lucky coachmsn.

The elopement Of Magdalene Darke,
of Harrison, Westminster county, N.
T., with Jesse Carroll, her fathers
coachman, was the topic Of converse
ton in that neighborhood recently.
Mr.. Drake was non-committal, except
to say that he knew nothing about the
runaways and should take no means to
find out anything about them. Miss
Drake left her fathers house on Mon
day to visit acquaintance in New York
city. She took with her two large
trunks well filled. Her father had no
idea until Wednesday night that she
had eloped. Carroll bears an excellent
reputation in Harrison. The people
there say that he has a good education,
is a steady fellow and Will make Miss
Drake q good husband. He is Of .
saving disposition and has, it is, said,
81, 600 in q savings bank. His step
father, too, an old Irishman, who works
for Mr.. Drake as undergraduates. is said
to have saved q competency. Friends
of Carroll say that the couple were
married in New York city ON Monday
or Tuesday. II is also said that Miss
Drake has q fortune Of some $75 600 in
her own right, which was left her by
her mother, and that she will get s.
when her youngest sister comes ofJage,
which will be in q short time. She has
an excellent education, being . gradur
ate of Packer institute, Brooklyn. Mr..
Drake, who is called the richest man in
Harrison, seems more sore than angry
at the affair and will take his daughter
back again, il she comes q her own
accord.

The bonnets worn by the bridesmaids
at 9 stylish Wedding which took place
up the Hudson on Thursday week were
quite transparent, the framework o,
fine wires showing distinctly through
the dotted tulle, which covered without
concealing it. The Strings were OF
small airy tissue and aigrettes Of scarlet
peoples and bearded wheat were set
very high in front. The dresses were
of white s%icilienne, brocaded with small
bright flowers and q bit of foliage in silk
floss. They were made with long point
ed tunics, full draped on one side and
held by loops of cream satin ribbon.
The pointed bodices were nearly covered
with lace trimmings, with a deep
founce of she knife pleated skirts.
Cream Suede gloves, bronze kid san.
dals, with hose to match; baskets OF
maiden hair fern mixed with white roses
and red carnations, immense fans OF
white ostrich plumage, suspended by
loops of white satin ribbon, completed
the details of the toilets.
The bridegroom gift to each brides.
maid was a lace pin with q diamond in
the center and upright bars on each
side set with pearls.

THE HOME CIRCLE and FARM.
Farming Notes.

President Wilder estimates the value
of our fruit crop, annually, at SAC, 0OO,-
600.
Most of the farm papers which zen
ture to express opinions are daring of
late to speak out boldly against the
abuses of so-called agricultural fairs.
In the month of August the United
Kingdom exported 1852 horses against
1000 in the same month in 1888. OF
these Sc came to the United States. In
the same time the United Kingdom i'm
ported l,551 horses, against 2,44O and
1,643 respectively in August, 1888 and
1882.
Weakness in young calves is due to
the poor condition of the cows, but
often to exposure to cold, which reduces
the vitality of the COW; and of course
the calves suffer. The best thing to
be done is to give the COWS
some nourishing food for some time
before they calve, as oatmeal or linseed
Cruel, with a teaspoonful of ginger and
C. pint of molasses, and to give the calf
a littls weak gin and water, we'll sweet
ened, by means of a spoon. An ounce
or so will be enough each time five or
six times a day.
Muck alone is of little use as a man
IRE when applied to land. By COM
posting it with manure in the proportion
of one load of manure to four or FIVE of
muck, the compost makes a good dress
ing for meadows upon all sorts of soil.
1t will not heat iniuriously, and if is
evenly made it will not need turning.
Some years ago a bean harvester was
invented by a farmer in Western New
York, and was used successfully. But
at present no one seems to know where
the machine and its inventor are. If
any reader in the locality mentioned
can inform us about this machine we
shall be pleased to hear of it, as there
are several inquiries in regard to it. A
bean harvester is much needed, and is
Indispensable where many acres of this
crop are grown.
