Speaker CarllsIe,s Views

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Speaker
Carlisle said to a Republican reporter
tonight, in speaking of the plan pro.
posed by Mr.. Springer to change the
rules of the House, that the plan did
not originate with Mr.. Springer.
"Ever since the Forty-sixth Con-
gress," he said, "there has been
dissatisfaction at the present rules. and
this movement is the result of that
dissatisfaction. From what | hear
and the strong advocacy the plan seems
to have, l think it is probable that the
rules will be changed" He said the
plan to distribute the appropriation
bills among the committees is not an
attack on Mr.. Randall any more than
any one else, as the same dissatisfac.
ton was manifested when Mr.. Hiscock
and Mr.. Atkins were at the head of
the appropriations committee.
alt is not the DESIRE" he said, "to
take away any of Mr.. Randall's power,
and l don't think there was ever any
such feeling. The complaint is that
the handling of all the appropriation
bills is too much work for the appro-
priations committee. A change would,
of course, facilitate legislation" Mr..
Carlisle said he favored the distribu-
ton of the bills to the proper commit
t es, excepting the sundry civil, legis.
lative and general deficiency bills, as
these really belong to no other com.
mittees. He said he believed that the
proposed revision would work good
results.

Sad is the dog, the long summers day.
For the lORfer who passes the hours away
On the corners In ST ent despair,
Watching for a sucker to "set up" the beer.

AS the face Of a friend goes passing by;
What a piteOus look over that Visage rolls

With a springy step to the bar he advances,
And with proud mien returns the bar-keeper's
glances,
Calls for his beer with n%Onchalent air,
Like a mau who to wealth has suddenly fallen
heir.
But If that friend, with a nod passes by.
See what a %despairlng look comes to the eye;.

Broke Him Of the Habit.

kingston IN. ~ Leader.
John Borley, Of Rondout, owns a
dog. He is also the possessor Of a
number Of chickens. For a long time
no eggs We're forthcoming. He re-
garded this as very strange, as the
fowls were always fed well and had
the best attention paid them. But,
day after day, when he went to the
nest in search of hen fruit he invari-
ably drew a blank. He was positive
that something was wrong, and there
fore decided to keep a watch, for one
day at least, to try and discover the
thief. Accordingly he conceded him
self in the hen house. After he had
been there Il short time numerous
cacklings convinced him that the
chickens had got in their work. In
medlately after the cacklIng ceased Mr..
Borley was astonished to- see his dog
come %sneaking into the hen house,
cautiously looking first this and then
that way. When satisfied that it was
not observed, the dog went to the nests
and sucked all the eggs, taking good
care to carry off the shells in its mouth,
which it deposited into a bole in the
ground and then scratched dirt on
them. Mr.. Borley had discovered the
thief. He at once put on his thinking
cap to devise a plan which would put
a stop to further depredations by the
canine. Going into the hose, he had
an egg cooked. Calling the canine, he
crammed the hot egg into its mouth,
grabbed its jaws, and held them clos d
for a moment. The dog was never
known after that to suck eggs.

ATTEMPT TO POISON.
Two Negro Men Poison a Family
with Stryohnlne and Leave for
Parts Unknown.

On Thursday last, while the daugh-
ter of Mr.. John B. Wright, a highly
respected and well 10 do farmer near
Yokena, in the Southern portion of
this county was cooking dinner for the
family, two negro farm hands by the
name Of Wilson Ward and Harry Aus,
tin, took advantage of her absence
from the kitchen and threw s~trichnine
into a pot of turnips which was being
prepared for dinner. Mr.. Wright and
Mr.. S. S. Stubs who works on
the place, eat freely of the turnips, and
We're soon affected by the poison, being
taken violently with vomiting which
caused them to suspicion that they had
partaken of some deadly poison. DR..
lHemphill, the local physician, Vas
summoned and he Immediately pro-
nounced it %strychnine, and prescribed
an antidote, which oon relieved the
two gentlemen. An investigation was
made. Miss Wright stated that the
negroes had been in the kitchen while
she was lifting dinner. The negroes
were called for but were not to be found
they had left for parts unknown and
have not since been heard from. This
fact fastened the guilt upon them in
such manner as to place it beyond a
doubt. They left the n%eighborhood
that night. They come from st.
Gilmore, in Claiborne county to Mr..
Wright's about ten months since, and
worked and stood well on the place
until about two months since. when
they commenced playing all kinds of
suspicious tricks. thievery, etc, Il
watching While the other did the
mischief; and the consequence Vas
they became very unpopular with
Mr.. Wright and his family, and
to this is attributed the pretext for the
committal of their dastardly deed in
attempting to poison the whole family.
Wilson Ward is a dark mulatto or cop
per color, about six feet one or two
inches high, weighs about 1876 pounds,
between thirty and thirty-fve years of
age, and looks to be younger. Harry
Austin is a black negro, between forty
five and fifty years of age, weighs
about l65 pounds, has light whiskers.
five feet ten or eleven inches high,
generally wears a black hat with mar
row rim which he invariably turns
down around his head. We print this
description of them that the good citi-
ems of the surrounding country may
apprehend them and prevent any
further acts of mischief upon their part.
They will be brought to this county
for an Investigation if found as there
is no doubt of their guilt. Proper
papers will be filed asking for their dp-
prehension. Fortunately for the entire
family Mr.. Stubs was taken sick i'm.
mediately after partaking of the
turnlps and Mr.. Wright being SINH.
larly affected warned his family not to
eat until they ascertained where the
poison was located. thus probably
saving the lives of the family.

Oregon's New Senator--Defines
His Position.

His Position.
PORTLAND, OREGON. Nov. 20.-It
leaks out to-day that at the caucus of
the Democratic members of the Leg
islature, held Tuesday evening, when
authority was given to seventeen mem
bers to vote for John 2. Mitchell for
Senator, on promise that he would
vote to confirm President Cleveland's
appointme nts, a resolution was passed
calling upon Cleveland for the offices.
The resolution recited his general pc.
litical status Of the State, and argued
that the Democrats could control if
they had the offices. The petition was
dispatched 10 the President yesterday.
Senator Mitchell, a few minutes after
his election, addressed the Legislature,
and defined his attitude toward the
President in the following language:
IF l supposed for n moment that any
democratic Representative on this
floor had cast his vote for me under
the impression that it would have the
effect of changing me from e Republi-
can to a Democrat, of course, l would
not feel c%omplimented but l have
every reason to know that no member
of the Democratic party cast his vote
for me under any such impression. 1t
is due, however, that l should state
that | recognize the fact and am now
about to proclaim from the house-top
that which | ever have proclaimed in Sc
cret chambers. | recognize the fact that
at the late national election the Demo-
cratic party prevailed and elected a
Democratic President, and what | have
to say is this-that l shall not conceive
it to be a part Of my duty as a Senator
to 90 to Washington and make fight on
the Administration, and the nomina-
lions of the President Of the United
States, if they are worthy men, shall
receive my vote for confirmation, UNI
less there is an attempt on the part OF
the President to make appointments
that will impugn upon any tenue OF
office, and should he do that, l would
oppose any President of the United
States"
