FORCED CONTRIBUTIONS.
MIR. sAYRE'S bill n. r 5lsl to prohibit
corporations from forcing contributions from
their employees for hospitals, reading-rooms
and the like. WAS read the third time.
Mr.. SAYRE: do not know what other
railways do, hat the Wabash Railway retains
from The wages OF employees so cents per
month when they receive $50 or more per
mouth, and 35 cents when they receive less
than Sc per month. The pretext is that the
money is taken to build a hospital for the in
jored or sick employees. The total SUM thus
retained smounts TO $500 per month. 1t so
happens that the employees are always able
to care for themselves when sick or hurt.
The railway company has no contract with
the employees, but merely keeps back this
money.
Mr.. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: This same
corporation isa grasping mono poly, pulling
down ~vorkingmen, and l favor the bill. We
passed a bill the other day to protect en-
ployes against Just such corporations, and I
see that tine Wabash has entered suit ia the
United States Court against the State of
Kansas for enforcing the 'sw we passed the
other day, nat of liability to employees who
are injured.
The bill passed by yeas -, nays 8.
EXENPTIHG HIGHWAYS FROM TAXATION.
Mr.. GARRISON'S bill III. r. 200. was
read the third time. He said: This bill
provides that a man shall not be taxed for
portion of his and used by public roads.
Mr.. TAYLOR: 1t is no more than equit-
able to make this deduction. If a man owns
1000 acres of land much or 1t is taken up
by roads which he should be relieved from
paying taxes on. because the public have
the benefit of the land.
Mr.. WILSON: / see no use of this. 1t
will only burden the statute books. On in
vests alton we find that one.two-hundredth
part of the land of the State are highways,
and that two-thirds of taxation comes from
real estate. II you deduct roads from taxa
ton it will only increase the rate of taxa
ton.
Mr.. ROBINSON: AS a man has no re-
turns from lands used as highways l think
he should not be taxed for such.

An Indian Camp.

The following extract is from letter
to the Chicago Heraid: The ride through
the Cheyenne cncampment to-day was
quite interesting. The tepees were
pitched about mile back of the agency
building, in a low bottom, aad an effort,
not altogether successful, had been made
to get them in huge semi circle. There
were perhaps 1900 Indians, 1000 ponies
and 10, 900 dogs. Many Of the Indians
had wagons, cooking utensils, and no.
ticcd one or two of the tepees had bed
steads had mattresses. The vast ma
iority, however, kept house in aboriginal
simplicity. Every tepcc had its ridge
pole outside hung with stripped beef
and entrails from yesterdays rations dry
ing in the sun. One family l passed had
a fire burning in front. and over this
the squaws were roasting Il dead dog
ugh a few rods further on snake
which had crawled into camp was having
it's brains beaten out by an old squaw:
That will be in the pot in an hour, "
was the remark of our guide. The long
strings of entrails and other animal refuse
driving in the sun were not appctizng,
and we tried to avoid looking at them.
The constant handshaking which the
braves thrust upon the party was also
something of q nuisance, and it was
relief to get away from it. The camp
was busy scene when Inspector Arm
strong arrived. The Indians crowded
around in their gaudy blankets, the
ponies josted each other in the midst OF
the tepees, the dogs kept up continu-
Gus howling and the chiefs and sub-chiefs
harancued little knots of people in deep
sing song tones. Out of such chaos nc
order could be brought, and after filling
the air with profanity for few moments
the inspector retired with promise to
come another day.

PATIENCE
Have patience, heart!

Have patience, heart!
There were no rose that we're not first a
closed bud.
How comes the day! Not with the monday
sun oerhead,
But slowly stealing up the east, in faintest
red.
Have patience, heart! Wait so thine own
Ife's dawning good.
Have patience, heart.
Seek rot at morn to make the day as bright
as noon.
Force net the bud, before its time, to be a
rose.
How slowly, when we watch the sky, the
daylight grows;
And yet, for all, indeed, the sun goes down
too soon.
Have patience, heart!
For rain will come; thine own self knows
how tear-drops fall
Seek not to stay the clouds before they've
spent their rain,
Or else across thy sky tue clouds may come
again.
Have patience, grieving heart! for good
must come 10 al.
Have patience, heart.
What though no kisses fall upon thy tired
eyes,
And love EoldS not its rose to thee, nor day is
fair?
Mourn not; perhaps thy love needs Heavens
purer air.
Oh, heart! be sure twill wait for thee in
Paradise.

PERILS OF TIE SEA.
A WaterlogScd bark Drifting Help
lessly Ola the Atlantic.

A Watorloggch BARK Drifting Help.
lessIy on the Atlantic.
The steamship Zaandam reached New York
city fcw days since after tumutuous
passage of fifteen days from Amsterdam,
with eight of the crew of the British bark
Brimiga, Captain Gcitzler, which she en-
countered on the 2"th about 200 miles east Of
Halifax. The b:rks main and mizzenmaSts
were gone, anil tic expo,ed work OF her deck
had been washed away, ami she had seven
feet of water in her hold.
Captain Potter, OF the Zaandam, sent out \
boat to the bark anil inquire if she wanted
any help. Captain G,itZler said he had three
injured amen that he wanted taken off, and
that he was short of provisions. The three
men were helped into t..r boat and were roweu
TO the Zuanlam and carried OH board. The
boat then returned to the Lark laden with pro-
visions Five more of her men said they
wanted to be trans erred to the steamship, and
they were rowed thlther. Captain Geitzler
said he proposed to stick b. mis- ship and steer
her into Halifax or into Davy Jones' locker,
whether anybody stayed aboard with him or
not. First Mate Hendcrbark, Second Mate
Olsen and the steward declared that they
would stand by their skipper. Captain Pot
ier offered to tow the bark i'll, but the offer
was declined, and the Zaandam steamed
away from tho battered, broken. water
logged and crewiess vessel.
From the 10th to the 10th the bark had made
no headway During this time the men slept
on tho deck, as everything below was water
soaked. Tho steward, all OF whose utensils
were washed away. cooked the food on pieces
OF thin iron rude!y fashioned into pans The
fare was salt beef and baked dough- all the
hard biscuit having been rendered useless by
the water. Captain Geitzler called the men
aft tho 18th and addressed them thus:
ave have been sailing eight days and not
gaining an inch. propose that we do one
Of two things: make sail for St Thomas or
hang around until wo get q chance to be
taken off by passing steamer"
The men had n talk among themselves, and
announced that they were in favor of getting
northward in the track Of steamships. They
fell in with the Zaandam. After the captain
had got provisions he was reluctant to
leave his vessel. He persuaded the first
and second mate and the steward to remain
with him. but the men said they feared they
would never 60 to sea again if they did not
leave. The men think there is little chance
OF the captain anil his three volunteers get.
ting into Halifax alive OH the water-logged
bark.
