Congress.

Both Houses of Congress continu ID
in session on Tuesday, with occasional
recesses, disposing OF the appropriation
bills. The condition of the appropriation
bill at midnight last night was reported
by an Associated Press despatch as FOL.
low -: The Legislative bill was all
agreed to except the provision for clerks
to Senator The Sundry Civil bill was
agreed to except provisions for public
buildings. The Post-office bill had just
been reported 20 the House with non
concurrence in respect TO the so-calleC
subsidy clause. The conferrees were a
work upon the Naval bill. The lndiar
bill only lacked concurrence upon thu
Oklahoma provision. The Fortified
lions and Deficiency bills had passed
both Houses, but had not yet gone t
conference. Both Houses were still il
session at an early hour this morning
and it was the general belief that al
the appropriation bills would be agree'
upon and presented to the President 10
his signature before noon. The Rive
and Harbor bill was believed to be tn
only one Of the appropriation bills like

All trains on the Lackawana and
Pittsburg Railroad were abandoned on
Tuesday in consequence of q general
strike OF the employees. The road Is in
the hands OF q Receiver, who was ap-
uOiuted in December last. At that time
the hands had not been paid in full
aimee August, and since then they have
recei we'd no pay whatever. They have
suifersd terribly for want Of food and
clothing, and can get no credit ut the
stores, Counsel has been engaged BY
the syrikers, and an effort is 70 be made
70 0ust tho Receiver upon the claim that
he has made no effort TO raise funds u
nay the men. Long suffering has made
the men desperate, and 1t 10 feared that
attempts may be made to destroy the
property of the road.
A Telegram from Chicago reports
that the married men among the Wa
bash strikers have returned 70 work,
but the single men still held out. The
general offic4rs o. thew abash road say
there is no trouble, except at Chicago,
Moberly and Springfield About nifty
men went out at Springfield yeste rday
leaving 225 at work. On account of in
timidation by the strikers, application
was made for protection from the
Courts, which was granted.
The Texas Pacific Railroad striker

In selling carpets it seems
to be the custom OF some to
lquote a carpet so much on
1.-THE floor, which is oftentiL,es
a very good thing tor the
lseller. No such custom
exists in the larger cities nor
lido we countenance such a
thing. A person coming to
Jour house to look through
1.-THE stock can learn the prices
at a glance, as each piece is
marx ed plainly,which means
1.-THE price for the carpet, and
if the party wants it made
land laid the price of making
land laying is quoted. This
is the proper and only cor
lrect way. Being strictly one
} price we, at the very start,
make our prices too low TOT
even the merchant who has
!, ino fixed price, but gets all
t he can from one customer

The deepest, the strongest. tho last
And into the school OF angels,
With the answer forever has passed.
How strange that he should sleep 80 soundly
80 young 30 quit the worlds strife
While beside him brimful Of hope, nectar,
Untouched stood the goblet OF life.
Men sleep like that whom the evening
Of long dreary day droppeth down;
But he wrought so we'll that the morning,
Brought for him the rest and the crown
How bright his possible future.
Yet God put him 10 sleep in the grave;
God knows all about thote that loved him,
How bitter the trial has been;
And right through 1t all, God 10 loving
And knows 50 much better than We.

There were four sets in the parlor. and he was
the only man among them all. There was in
tense competition to determine which one
would get him, and to see that poor, lone man
stand up and be talked to by thirty-one girls at
once would be a liberal education for anybody
contemplating martyrdom The only way in
which he could settle the difficulty was by agree
ing to dance a figure with each set. There was
great JOY in the square that he was in, but the
moment ne left it there was only llstlessness.
Dancing may be the poetry of motion and all
that, but l am afraid that no girl appreciates it
when the only man round is tripping with some
body else. l hear of another house in which
there were twenty-five young girls, an indefinite
number of elderly maidens and three widows.
The way the poor clerk there was pulled and
tugged was a caution. Tho clerk found the
whole thing something of a bore after the nov
city had worn off. He has settled the trouble by
engaging himself in marriage to one of the
widows. A sensible way out of it, too. consid-
ing that his betrothed has an ample fortune.
