The OIeomargarine Bill.


WASHINGTON, May 49, The Committee on Agri-
culture met this morning for the purpose of re-
considering that portion of the 0leomargarine
bill where it provides for a taxation OF ten
cents per pound upon the article. There is a
wide difference of opinion upon this question,
and the majority of the House will oppose so high
tax. Some want it reduced as low as two and a
half cents per pound, and from that
up to the limit named in the
bill. The committee will doubtless report
for five cents instead of ten, believing this will
effect an amicable compromise A member of the
House, who is opposed to the bill, said this even
ing that in all probability the House would get to
vote on Tuesday or Wednesday next. He be-
lieved that when the bill got out of the Committee
of the Whole, and into the House, it would be
shorn of all its amendments ana passed just as it
came from the committee. This latter opinion is
quite general among members The section re-
quiring boarding house keepers and Others who
use oleomargarine to put sign on their dining
tables will certainly be stricken out.

WASHINGTON, May so S. w. Whitten, of
Union City, loafing Republican, is here pos
ing as martyr and attempting to create a
little notorety by getting Republican Sena-

ployes of the Senate who were not Republi-

the sorehead. He was at one time drawing
pension of S25 per month, but wanted it
increased, which lead to an investigation
of the case. and it resulted in his name be-
ing dropped from the pension rolls by Com

BROOKLYN, n. Y, May 31.-The Decoration
Day ceremonies, which were begun here
yesterday, were continued to-day upon a
scale which exceeded that of any ever held
before. The Twenty third Regiment had the
honor of escorting the President and his
party from the ferry to the foot of Broad
way, Williamsburg, TO the residence of Mr..
Joseph Knapp. The streets along the line
of march were thronged with spectators anx-
ious to get look at the President. General
J. S. Cattin and his staff received the Presi-
dent and his party at Mr.. Knapp's and after
the greetings they repaired to the
reviewing stand. The procession
passed through the principal streets
TO the point where it was dismissed. There
was a reviewing stand at Clinton and Lafay-
ette avenues, and so many people crowded
upon it that il came dawn with a crash and
the occupants thrown in a confused heap
There were loud screams from the ladies, and
IL wrs supposed at first that number were
injured, but it was afterwards learned that
only four people had received bruises.
The various g. A. II. posts then wended
their way to the cemeteries, where appropri-
ate ceremonies were held and the graves of
the dead soldiers were decorated. All the
stores of the principal streets we're closed, as
were also the courts and public offices.

One of the veterans, indignant at the inter
ruption, advanced toward the burly Saper-

threateningly at once. Guinea looked at the
excited crowd which was fast being augment
ed by the people from the neighbOrhood,
who bad heard the loud talking. Guinea
turned and sought refuge in his private of
fee. The soldiers then went on with their
ceremonies. All the 800 graves of so -diers in
the cemetery were ornamented.

Arrival of Miss Rose Cleveland at the white


WASHINGTON, May 29.-Miss Rose Cleveland, &C
eompanied by her friend, Miss Nelson, ofAlbany,
arrived at the White House at a late our this
evening to be present at the Presidents wedding,
the details OF which are gradually assuming form.
II is decided that Mr.. Benjamin Folsom, Miss
Folsom's cousin, as her nearest male relative,
will give the bride away, and ii is very probable
that Miss Cleveland viii stand up with the bride,
but whether the President viii be supported by
best man has not yet been definitely settled, but
the general impression prevails arbng those who
are best informed that there will be neither brides
maids nor groomsmen. An exceptionally large
number OF persons visited the White House To-
day, to pay their respects TO the President and
congratulate him on his approaching marriage.

At Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 31.-The decoration cere-
monies at Calvary Cemetery to-day came
very near ending in a disgraceful row, in
which Superintendent t. ID. Guinea would
have been the central and most conspicuous
figure. The decoration of the graves of the
dead soldiers who lie buried in the sol u
the cemetery was undertaken by Mulligin
Post No. 500 of the Grand Army of the Re
public, and representatives from the Union
Veteran Association. Thirty or forty veter-
ans, accompanied by several hundred citi
zens, went out to Calvary on the 1 o'clock
train. They had fifer and a drummer on
the train. and the two made things lively
with an interspeTsion of Garry Owen" and
Marching Through Georgia" on the way
out. At the Calvary depot they formed in
line, with Post Commander b. X. Linscott
at the head. Superintende ent Guinea stood
st the entrance TO the burying ground.
Please step aside and let us get in, said
Linscott. 80, I've got something to do here"
said Mr.. Guinea, and the veterans had TO
wait. They were a little angry at the inter
ruption but they cooled down in a few mo-
ments and ranged themselves in front of the
monument TO Colonel Mulligan, after whom
their post is named. The veterans uncovered
and stood silently and with bowed heads
while the base of the statue was being strewn
with howers Then Commander Linscott
stepped to the front and began brief ad
dress. Comrades" he said, I'VE are as
sembled to-day to pay our respects to the
memory of a soldier whom we love, to honor
that brave hero, Colonel Mulligan, and pray
God that this ceremony will keep green in
your hearts"
Mr.. Linscott got no further. Superin
tendent Guinea grasped the soldier by the
arm. This has gone far enough, be said.

Linscott. 1T was simply figure of speech"

CHAPTER XIV.
OVER THE RANGE.


It was three o'clock on short Oc-
tober day when John Parsons left
Phippsburg on his return to the cottage
where his wife and crippled boy awaited
him.
He did not call it home did not think
of it as such now.
Another held claim against it for
all it was worth in money, and his past
experience led him to expect no mercy.
He had not stopped to ascertain who
held the mortgage, or anything about it,
further than that it existed and was for
a sum greater than he could, by any
possibility, raise.
He had no hope that it might prove
a mistake in any way; that it might
have been paid and not Cancelled. He
accepted it as what he ought really to
have expected would happen sooner or
later, for he had come to believe that
the poor, those who labored in any way
for living, were looked upon as legit-
innate prey by set of men who had by
some means obtained control of the
courts and Of State and National Legis-
latures, and who in one way or another
but always under the guise of law
would rob the people just as men rob
the honey bees, taking the honey, but
letting the bees live in order that they
might store up more honey for the rob-
bers when their turn comes for being
robbed again. And so from the first
mention of a mortgage he gave up all
hope, regarding it as but another of the
ways--of which experience had taught
him that there were many-of taking
from him and his their little accumula-
TONS and but one thought, one inn
pulse remained-to get back to where
his wife and crippled boySwere and die
in their presence and with them.
His brain seemed incapable of
thought. There was numbness about
his whole body that made it difficult
for him to retain his seat in the saddle,
and several persons who saw him pass,
swaying to and fro in his seat. thought
that for once he had been drinking and
had taken more LIQUOR than he could
we'll carry.
Bu6 he was not drunk. He was
crushed.
Al hope had fed, never to return
again. No ray of light came to him
Tram any source.
He paid no heed to the inquiring

All this was said in tone of voice
and manner that showed, even more
than his words, how utterly broken
and hopeless the man was, and when
he ceased speaking he staggered again,
and those about him thought he would
have fallen; but he gathered his ener-
gies, made his way through the crowd,
which opened to let him pass, went to
the stable, and replacing the saddle on
his horse, mounted him and turned his
face toward home.
The moment he left the Recorders
Office. a dozen voices were heard eager
" demanding to know the details of
the affair.
The man who was to have bought the
place could tell nothing beyond the
fact that on examining the records he
had discovered a mortgage against it
for about the value of the property.
eft seemed strange" he said, ''that
the mortgage should be there and have
escaped the eye, not only of Mr.. Par
sons himself, but of the maker of the
abstract which he received from Mr..
Blake. There is evidently a mistake
somewhere. Possibly the mortgage has
been paid and the MORTGAGE has neg
lected to cancel it on the books in the
Office; if so and it can be proved, it can
all be made right yet. )"
Then somebody suggested that Mr..
Parsons be called back and an effort
made to ascertain the facts.
sit is pity to let the old man suffer
so, if it is only mistake and the
mortgage has been paid" they said;
and half dozen of them started at
once to call to Mr.. Parsons to stay and
try to learn all the facts but the Re-
corder, who had remained silent during
the discussion, now spoke:
.It's no use, men," he said, s'the
mortgage is there. and there is no
doubt but it will take the place, unless
the old man can raise the money to pay
it off.
.sYou know l have only been in office
less than a year. When | came in here
I got to looking over the books back
piece and l found things little bit
mixed, and set to work to stralghten
'em up. Among other things STUN
bled onto this mortgage. 1t was re-
corded all right, but it wasn't indexed,
and YOU know q man might hunt for
week through these books and not ind
a thing that wasn't in the index. Be-
sides, no one would ever think of doing
so, as every mortgage is supposed to
appear in the index under the name
both of the maker and the mortgage.
81 thought at the time that IKE
enough trouble would come OF the
blunder, which is the fault OF old Pu-
terbaugh, who was Recorder at the
time it occurred. He was never sober
two DAYS at stretch, and ought never
to have been elected, but he managed
somehow to get the nomination, and
then we had to vote for him or go back
on the party; and you know we
couldn't do that
well, as was saying, thought
aike as not Parsons never knew OF that
mortgage being there, but hadn't the
heart to mention it, and it wasn't any
of my business anyway, and really
hoped it had been paid and would never
give him any trouble. But about

take me to place where, in spot not larger

that when Hooker's advance reached the
house it was occupied bv Mrs Chancellor and
her daughter When Hooker arrived in per-
son he took possession of the place for head
quarters, and finding the ladies there re-
fused to allow them to leave to go to their
friends which was proper enough, but would
not even let them go to place of safety in
the rear of our army, but made them remain
in the house till the shells of the enemy had
set it on fire and he was obliged to abandon
it himself The house was completely con-

the fact that shot coming from chat thar"
hill would strike ''that thar" wall at such an
angle that it could not "stick," but would
inevitably glance off; that that portion of
the wall had evidently been rebuilt since the
BATTLE as shown by the fresh condition of the
mortar; and besides, remembered distinctly
that when we passed the spot in May, 1864,
the wall was down. The ball had been
