CoN0REssIoNAL-N Nothing definite
has been done with The Naval appr0-
priation bin, and from present appear
ances the employees at the Naval
Academy will spend an Improbable
winter ont Of employment. There
seems to be a desire on the part Of 8
portion Of Congress to delay much
needed legislation, SO that an extra
session will be necessary after the 4th
Of March. We can hardly think any
member OF Congress il 50 forgetful of
bis duties as to resort to such means
TO effect political objects. 1t is their
sworn duty to appropriate money to
carry on tho government as money
may he needed for that purpose.
They should pass all proper appropri-
alton bills and needed current legisla-
tion without intentional delay, and
If the time is too short for that purpose
and important legislation Isl incom-
plete on the 4th Of March next, then
the new President can convene the
new Congress to complete the work
left uudone WiIful neglect IF duty
is inexcusable under any circumstan.

ands Of mechanics TO remain out Of
employment. the wrath Of the people
ought to be called down upon them.

1t was a most welcome, though short
and odd note. l could scarcely see how
she had been disappointed in me. But
the favorable answer was too delightful
to be eaYIlled at. In the morning L
went over to the Hall, and Marion re-
ceived me very calmly.
GLOW do you do, Mr.. Clitheroe2' she
said. "You have come about the tracts,
l presumed They have just arrived; so
we can divide them among the districts
at once"
"But, Miss Morley l said, FIRST
tell me in pity that you meant what you
said yesterday IN your motel You have
relented? You love me?"
She blushed, and seemed at a loss to
know my meaning.
THAT little note gave me great joy"
l said.
"What little note?" she asked.
| gave it to her. She got very red,
and then burst out laughing.
II am indeed reyenged, =" she said. II
wrote this but not to you."
"Not to me?" | cried.

into wrong covers"
"But did not MI. Morley deliver you
a note from me yesterday" | asked.
II gave 1t to him to make sure of no
mistake"

piled.

"And now are you not sufficiently re-.

We spent the next two hours in deli
cious converse; and now we are spend
ing our lives together, although We did
make such a muddle of our love-letters.

SACRIFICED

The revolving spectacle of a daughter
domineering over her mother is a sadly
frequent one. How often does n see
a healthy young miss call upon her tired
mother, as if she were a servant, to wait
upon her young ladyship, to bring in
her deferred dinner, TO take care of her
room, to keep her clothes clean and in
repair.
When the daughter has grown up sell
fish and ~domineeTing, it is, primarily,
the mothers own fault. The fond
mother, especially if she has few of the
good things of this world, is too likely
to say: 81 will sacrifice everything for
my child. | will do without that she
may be a lady. | will deny myself learn
ing that she may be educated. | will
stay out of society and veal old clothes
that she may go out as well-dressed as
her companions and enjoy herself"
That is the first mIs-step. Any mother
who follows this plan Will be the slave
of her daughter before she is out of PIN
AZORES; and the daughter is sur to grow
up selfish, eXacting, silly and unreason-
able. By and by the mother looks for
some reward. She doesn't ask for fine
clothes and relief from drudgery-she
has got used to her bard lot, but she
graves a little sympathy and commmen.
datiou from the woTshiped daughter for
whom she 'has dOneSsO much"
Aye, so much that It has spoiled the
girls naturally sweet and unselish dis
position. She may feel uneasy once in
a while, but she has no real sympathy
with her toil-worn mother. She is
ashamed of her mothers old-fashioned
clothes, though she takes as her right
all the new ones herself, and the aesthetic
young lady is impatient and mortified
because her mother can't talk about
anything but common domestic sub
lects, you know"
This is all wrong. The mother should
be the undisputed mistress of the home.
AS long as a daughter remains in her
fathers house, she is the natural and
proper subordinate Of the mother.
Daughters brought up to understand
this and shape then actions accordingly,
receive a discipline which best tits them
to be, In their turn, mistresses of their
own homes and judiciOus mothers. A
mother Is right in desiring the best well
fare of her child, but It is better for the
child that the mother should maintain
her own dignilied position, and that she
should make the most Of herself intel
lectually and socially.
The Penn's Grove record., 1885-04-25

The English draWiDg-TOoin is almost
always at the back of the houses and
looks out upon the garden, for it must
be known that, however large the
grounds, the house is built quite near
the road and there is little or no front
garden; and there is sure to be quite .
high wall at the front, SO as to shut off
the house and grounds from the gaze and
eyes of the common herd, Many houses,
indeed all through the provinces, have
gates in these high walls with bells, and
the servant comes from the house to the
outside gate to answer the bell. The
papering Of the drawing-rOOm is of
somewhat lighter color than that of the
other rooms. The furniture is also less
massive, and has Just a tendency todeco-
ration and act. The line is strictly drawn
at water-cOl0r painting upon the walls.
In no well-ordered English family does
one ever see an oil painting on the walls
Of the drawing-roOm. | have never been
able to fully take III the reason for this
custom. l conjecture, however, that
the walls of the drawing-room being
lighter and of more expensive papering
that it is deemed bad taste to cover them
up with great pictures and frames.
Water-ColOrs moreover are mo IN
keeping with the lighter tone of the
room. So it is; you never, under any
circumstances, see oil paintings IN the
saloon Of an English house.
The bedroom furnishings are of a like
heavy sort with the rest of the house.
The brass bedstead has taken the place
NF 4ha. old fsFntyr nectar - hpt fhn 1anAnu
is retained. The curtains are drawn
for the night when the bed is opened.
Day coverings and pillow shams' for
the bed are things unknown in Eng
land. 1t is always delieiously clean,
and with its ~cretOnne or muslin hang
lngs looks neat and tidy. In many
houses the feather-bed is still the thing,
and is always used upon all bedsteads
in winter.
It may be truthfully said that in all
middle.class families of Nhgland the
dining-roOm IS the living DON of the
house. The family or such of them as
remain at honest in the dining-room
the forenoon and until after noon meal,
whether that be luncheon or dinner.
The dining-room is commonly a very
large room and is furnished for COM
fort, having generally the most pleasant
exposure to garden, III and air. The
kitchen is seldom near the dining-room
and the pantties are connected with the
kitchen; SO that the dinng-room is free
of all the odor of cooking and from all
the necessary noise of the kitchen and
pantries. AS all meats and hot dishes
are brought TO the diuinp-TOOm closely
covered, there is seldom any smell from
the kitchen floating about or lurking
about the house.
Were the color of the house less SOM
Der and the furniture less cumbrous;
were the rooms more open and less
separated each from the other, the Eng
lish house would be the center OF the
most perfect external comfort known to
the domestic life of this world. AS it
is, the English house is the home Of
sweet love, of thoughtful civility, and
of unforgetting Snd undying loyalty.

why He was promoted,

It is related Of an ex-member OF Con.
gress from the West, who died last
month, that in 1868 he received n call
IN Washington from a Captain in q
volunteer regiment who wanted to ex-
pose some crooked things about u GER
tain pork contract. The member re-
ceived him very coldly, and made hight
of his grave charges; but hardly had the
Captain returned to his regiment When
he was promoted to Colonel and as
signed to another. At the close of the
war he happened to meet the Congress-
man, and IN his gratitude he called out:
THAT promotion came from you, aud |
thank you with all my hearth "Oh,
you don't owe me anything" "But
didn't you secure my promotion"
Certainly" Sand shouldn't 1 be
grateful?" "Not by a jugfull AS Cap

department, you were threatening TO

The Prohibition Candidates.

At the head of this column can be
found the names of the persons who
constitute the prohibition party ticket,
asking for the suffrages of the voters
of this county.
They are all and each of them old,
true and tried citizens; not word can
truthfully be said against any one OF
them, and as to their integrity and abili-
ty to discharge the duties of the res
pective offices for which they are can
didates, there cannot be a single doubt.
If they have any fault at all, it must
be that they have left the eternal prin-
ciples'' of the old parties, and are in
favor of law and order, the suppression
of vice and misery by prohibiting the
manufacture, importation and sale OF
that which all these evils spring.
These men have not thrust them
selves forward; but their friends have
put them and their names before the
people without any solicitation on their
part, and now ask the lovers of law and
order to unite in giving them their sup
port. If the men of moral principle
cannot vote for them, there must be a
reason other than a want of virtue, in
tegrity, honor or capability which pro-
hibits them from SO doing, and we
would be pleased to know the reason.

Offensive Partisanshin.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-Every National Pro-
hibitiOniSt must feel that the occasional
TRADES of the Chronicle against the third
party are mean and cOwardly. and are
unworthy of the high character which
its editor has sustained in this COM
munity. The party when it meets to-
gether, do not make faces at the rest
of mankind" 1t does not enter into a
conspiracy to strengthen the Demo-
cratic party" or to secure the cleo
ton Of its candidates 1t does not
sheer at the ''bloody shirt" of the Re
publican party. But it is filled with
sorrow and regret that this once noble
party has no other issue to present to
the intelligent voters of this and other
States.
Thirty years ago the battle cry of
this-a third party then-was free soil;
free speech; a free press;;' watch
word which captured every State from
Maine to California. Had this now de-
graded and corrupt party adopted the
motto of the prohibitionistS-"GOd,
Home and Native Land - victory
would have perched upon its banner
this fall in every State in the Union.
Not accepting this iSSue-the only live
issue-it preferred to bow 1t the shrine
OF Bacchus and swear allegiance to the
rum power; inscribing upon its ban
ner the degrading inscription; "Bac-
chus, Gambrinces, Regulation of the
Liquor Traffic and the Bloodyshirt.
Alas, show are the mighty fallen"
Permit me to state for the infcrma-
ton of the Chronicle that the members
are terribly in earnest; that We have no

Opposed to the Republicans " Eter-
nal Principle"

The Miami, o., Annual Conference
of the Church of the United Brethren
in Christ, met in Dayton, o., August
26th, and adopted unanimously the fol-
lowing resolution:
That intemperance in all its forms is
the curse of the age, and that the es-
tablished system of saloons or drinking
houses is the strength of the evil. That
the religious world, regardless of party
affiliations, ought to become unit in
the suppression of this greatest of all
crimes. Since it is evident that PrOhi-
bitiOn and the Eternal Principle" of
taxation or license alone are before the
Commonwealth of the country as the
greatest of all issues, that as Confer
ence we are committed to Prohibition.
This Conference was composed of
one hundred ministers and laymen, and
represented a membership of seven
thousand.
