Avoiding Danger.

An old lady read paragraph in one of
the papers the other day, describing how
grindstone burst in saw-mill and killed
four men. She happened to remember that
there was a small grindstone down in her
cellar, leaning against the wall, so she went
out and got an accident insurance policy,
and then, summoning her servant, and hold
iEg pie-board in front of her face, so that
If the thing exploded her face would not be
injured, had the stone taken out into the
road, where twenty-four pals of water
were thrown over 1t, and stick was stuck
in the whole bearing a placard marked

to young incumbent he found that
amongst the earliest callers he received was

man came with all the kindness proper to
the race of churchwardens, and the first

| WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-The SEN
itors are watching the developments
in the house with regard to the pro-
posed change of rules with much in
:erest, and generally regard the pro-
position to distribute the appropria-
ton bills among several committees
OF the house as an extremely unwise
step and likely to lead to great ex-
travasance. The members of the
senate committee on rules, all of whom
are experienced parliamentarians, sew
eral OF whom had their training in
the house of representatives, are unan-
lmous in the opinion that the resolu-
ton embodying the proposed code of
JOINT rules will probably be reported
TO the senate on Monday and passed
WITHOUT much delay and sent to the
house. They cmbody their chief pro-
positions, which, if adopted by the
mouse, would, in the opinion of Il
senate committee and senators pener-
ally, relieve the house of most of its
difficulties. The first is a requirement
that the speakers table shall be clear
ed every day by referring all the
measures and communications upon
II to the proper committee, thus get
ting them into the channels of Iegis-
iatlon at the earliest moment; the
second prohibits riders upon general
appropriation bills; the third requires
that during the last term days Of each
session preference shall be given in
each houee to mea sures which have
already passed the other house. These
requirements are already followed in
he senate.

of the revision Of the rules

vas adopted with a few verbal amend.
nents, and will be reported to the
iouse on Monday next. Though the
majority of the committee fayors the
distribution of the work of the ap-
'roprlation commi ttee, this object will
Iot be accomplished until after a
narp contest in the house, which will .
ot be in the nature of party conflict,
ut will be between the friends of the
iorrison code, who believe that such il
distribution will result in the facil-
ating Of business, and the opponents
ho regard it as unwise at this time \

NEW YoRE, July 70. 1T has been learned
on good authority that arrangements were
making to reinvest the $3.50, 900 trust fund
raised for Gen. Grant in the first mortgage
bonds Of the Wabash railroad
1t was said that this reinstatement of he
fund would DO made on the 1st OF August.
because the trustees of the Morgan estate
desired TO be free from the responsibility at
tached to them. When the funds were in
vested in the Wabash bonds, Governor Nor
gan gave personal guarantee for the pay
ment Of tho principal and interest A re-
porter talked with gentleman who has
been fully acquainted with ell the transac-
tons ever since the fund was invested in
these bonds under Governor Morgans per-
sonal guarantee, and asked him how this
money would be renvested His reply was
that the funds would be reinvested. He
said 1t was not certain that the funds would
be reinvested
The question is now under advisement and
will be definitely decided some time within
the next two weeks. 1t Is not true that all
the amount raised for Gen Grant is invested
in Wabash first mortgage bonds If the
trustees of the Morgan estate desire to turn
over the amount Of moley for which Gov
ernor Morgan made himself responsible, and
accept these bonds. thnt fact viii be made
