T. Nixon and Orson M. Syler for services in the
publication of the Revised Statutes of 1881 He
said that in 1881 the board of revision were
empowered to employ a clerk and two proof
readers, and it was found necessary to occupy
from eighteen TO twenty hours day. They
worked over 200 days and were paid So day.
They now present bill for extra labor In sup
port of the claim were the afidavits of the three
Judges who composed the board, and they all say
that the claim should be paid. The amendment
was adopted.
Mr. Willard moved to amend by adding 5000
year as additional pay to the moral instructor
Of the prison south. Mr.. Mccullough moved to
increase the sum to $500
On motion by Mr.. Mcintosh, the committee
arose and the chairman reported progress, and
asked leave to resume consideration of the bill
at 10 o'clock this morning. The report of the
committee of the whole was concurred in.
Mr.. Youche moved that the Senate refuse to
concur in the House amendments to the bill rs.
295l for the relocation of county-seats and
ask for a committee Of conference. The mo-
ton was agreed to, and the Lieutenant governor
appointed Messrs. Youche and Smith of Jen-
nings.
TELEPHONE RENTALS
Mr.. Willard commended that the telephone
rental bill III r. 444 had precedence the special
order, and Mr.. Foulke insisted that the John
Martin claim bill was the special order. The
Lieutenant-governord decided that the telephone
rental bill had precedence, and it was read-the

Mr.. Foulke-I object to this bill. have my

this bill is in direct violation of the fundamental
law of both the State and Nation, and were il
not, it would be nothing more than the plumber

ton which proposes to take property from one

been enacted which States cannot contravene
except far is necessary to police regulation.
This has been settled by the adjudication of the
highest courts in the country. The Constitution
of Indiana prescribes that no mans personal
property shall be taken except after tender OF
compensation. The company show that under
this bill the telephone company cannot do bust
ness in this State. They say they are only max.

Mr.. Hilligass demanded the previous question,
but the motion was not sustained. The Senate
subsequently adjourned, and it was decided that

at IL o'clock.

Representative Loup is the only member of
the Legislature who voted against concurring in
the report of the conference committee on the
general appropriation bill.
The caucus of Democratic senator's for nomi-
mating contingent President of the Senate,
which was to have been held last night. was
postponed until to-day at noon. There is little
indication of who will b. the choice, but it is
believed that Sellers, who has been doing con-
siderable quiet work, has something of the ad
vantage, although all the candidates seem to be
confident of receiving the nomination.
The strongest lobby that has appeared on the
floors of the Legislature during the present As
sembly's sessions was at work, yesterday, trying
TO defeat and to secure the passage of the bill re-
ducing the rental of telephones to So per month.
Both sides strongly represented, and the
attention of the President of the Senate was

slowly, with uplifted head, until directly in
front Of the young singer. Then, pausing,
he gazed upward, with a rapt. adoring ex-
preston on his face, which seemed somehow
to look younger and happier than ever be-
fore. Then with that far away, exalted look
still in his eyes, he moved slowly down the
aisle and out of the door.
This was most unusual. The congregation
turned, one toward another, with inquiring
glances, but all kept silent. They wondered
why the old man left his post at the organ at
such a time, but, knowing his faithfulness,
a second thought assured them that he had
left some one in his place. They decided
mentally, too, that he was a little beside him.
self on account of the music.
The choir began the chorus: Fall on
your kneesi o, hear the angel voicesi'
The organs voice pealed forth ~triumphantly,
then suddenly dropped to a low, feeble sigh,
that iuttered over the church like a wounded
bird, n then died away altogether, leaving
the choir stranded and startled. The organ
ists fingers ran over the keys, uneasily at
first, then anxiously, then wildly. No sound
came forth. The people waited with anxiety
and interest in their faces. The choir stood
'voiceless.
When the suspense became insupportable
the organist left his seat and hurried to the
door of the organ-pumper's room He re-
turned with a white face and startled eyes.
Leaning over the railing Of the gallery
toward the raised faces Of the congregation,
he said, in frightned tones:
Friends, Adam Stanley, our sexton, lies
dead in the organ loft.n

A worldless wave of feeling went up from
the people, but before any one recovered
himself enough to make a movement, they
were startled by another curious thing. Miss
Stenlini, the singer, reached out her arms, as
though unconsciously entreating help, and
vailed out, 20, my father"
The shock, the sorrow, the surprise, all
coming at such a time, created in the staid
old Church of the Puritans an emotional
panic not to be painted by words.
Yes, it was true, the beautiful singer was
MS daughter. She was only 8 years old when
her mother died An aunt in England took
charge of her, and at her fathers wish edu-
Gated her abroad for a musical career. She
had never supposed her father to be rich,
or ever dreamed that he earned, by hard
work, the money she regularly received.
He travelled, she thought. Her aunt had
been dead five years, n she really knew
very little about her father. 1t was evident
at last that be nevor intended her to know
his true circumstances. All her letters to
him had been sent in the care of a lawyer at
Pembroke, thirty miles away. He had writ
ten her that he would be at Floodgate to
hear her sing, if possible. Her welfare had
been the object of his life. For her he had
toiled and saved and borne the reputation of
a miser.
The lawyer from Pembroke came and told
the pathetic inner history Of Uncle Adams
life. And they noticed that his dead face
wore a look not usual to dead faces. 1t was
an expression of rapture. No wonder. He had
died of joy, his spirit floating out on the
glorious strains of the Christmas hymn.
One thing the F~loodgate people can never
explain: How did the sexton walk past the
pulpit, dow the aisle and out at the door of
the church, when he was lying dead in the
organ lofta No, they cannot explain that,
though they talk of it to this day, and tell
the story DER and DER at Christmas
tide. Three or four daring ones ~ventured to
say that as the sections last thought had been
of his daughter it was not unlikely that his
spirit, released from the body, at once un-
consciously hurried to a point whence it could
see her. They were numerically derided, of
course, and talked about terribly. Intima-
lions that they would be put out Of the
fold for holding such extraordinary opinions
closed their mouths at once, and nave kept
them closed ever since. EBBoN OLIVER.

Sea Voyages for consumptives.


Long sea voyages are of great value
in many cases of consumption. The pa
tients have the advantages of the con.
slant influences of the sea air, combined
with mental repose and passive exer-
else.
There are, Of course, several draw.
backs, the most prominent being the
liability to seasickness and to bad
weather, and the confinement which
necessarily occurs; the monotony in oc.
equations, the want of variety of food
and of articles sometimes longed for by
inyalids, and the discomforts arising
from the machinery in the case OF
steam vessels. If the patient be not
liable to suffer from seasickness, and if
his appetite and digestion be fair, he
has a much better chance of being ben
Gifted by a sea voyage than under OPP
posite conditions. Narious conditions
of debility, especially those arising
from excessive mental strain, are al
most certain to lie improved by a sea
voyage.
