Senate Committees Renorts,

Reports Of Senate committees are not
always reliable. Indeed, some of them
are very unreliable. That is because the
Senators as a rule are too much inclined
to take their ease to make the investiga-
tions they are expected to. For instance,
the Senate did not dare to override the
Presidents vetoes in the pension cases
because Senators knew the President was
right.
A case occurred just before the ad-
iournment of the Senate in which the
character of reports of committees of the
Senate is pretty clearly shown. At the
very beginning of his administration the
President appointed Alonzo p. Sharp
Postmaster at McCook, Neb. Sharp was a
Democrat and was appointed as such. In
the course OF time he became short in his
accounts and was suspended. The pa
pers which were sent to the Senate when
Sharp's successor was appointed showed
that he was a defaulter and was unworthy
of trust. But what did the committee to
which the case was referred report {?
Why, that the President suspended Sharp
and nominated a man named Thompson
during recess of the Senate; that the
suspension seemed to be made for politi-
cal reasons only, and that the committee
had not found anything rejecting upon
the personal or official character of
Sharp. The Republicans of the commit
tee who had the framing of the report
thought, of course, that Sharp was Re-
publican. and had been suspended to
make place for Democrat; hence their
report. A little investigation would have
showed the committee what laughable
mistake it was making, and yet the Senate
wants the country to have confidence in
it when it reports that the President is
removing officials simply because they
are Republlcans.

The Opal an Unlucky stone.


The opal is represented to be an unlucky
gem. Perhaps it Is. Here is little evidence
to prove it. A young lady of this city re-
ceived for one of her wedding gifts very
handsome opal pin. On the wedding trip 1t
was discovered that the opal was left at
home. 1t was telegraphed for. to he brought
down to New York by friend. The friend
1t was not to be found. 1t had been misiaid
somewhere. After season 1t was found.
and next made its appearance at ''tea, !"
where 1t was an adornmept of the young
lady. Arriving nome, the Opa! was found
to be missing. Search in every
possible place and advertising in the news

went into the mountains with two
trunks. Arriving at the hotel. one
of the trunks was wrong trunk,
although tie right check was present. Some

Thought Themselves Shrewd.

From the Allentown tPd.l Register, Aug. II.
Two years ago oil was struck at the Mar
shall farm. in Venango county. The farm
contained $50 acres, and before the oil was
found would have been considered good
sale at $40 an acre. The wells drilled on the
farm were big "gushers." and opened up
new oil territory, A month after the first
well was struck the farm was sold for $780,,
900. The BARLEY farm adjoining also proved
to be an oil farm. and was sold for SIS, OOO
The school district of the township owned an
acre of ground, which, with red school
house, was worth $500. The schoolhOuse
property was surrounded by the big wells,
and all indications were that the acre was the
centre of rich oil pool. A prominent oil
operator offered the School Directors $50 900
for the acre. The offer was refused. They
held out for 100000. The would-be pur-
chaser raised his offer to $75, 900. This was
the highest price ever offered for an acre of
land anywhere in the country. II it had been
accepted this rural district would have been
the richest country school district in the
Union. 1t was refused. Wells were put
down all around the acre. In the course of
time the School Directors concluded to tap
the rich veins Of oil that were supposed to lie
under the red school house and its lot. AT an
expense of several thousand dollars they have
put down wells, and the tract is found TO be
as dry as a bone. The school house property
is now rated at its old value of $500, and the
officials are very sick.

Tenncssec's Novelist.

There are very few of those who are
familiar with current literature who have
not read some or all OF the stories of Miss
Murfree, who won fame under the name
of 'Charles EgbeTt Craddock." MISS
Murfree is a Tennessee girl, and those
who have the pleasure OF her acqualnt-
ance say that she is a very charming one.
When her stories began to attract atten-
ton there was naturally great inquiry
about the author. who was believed to be
a man. 1t was not until Miss Murfree
visited her publisher in Boston that it be-
came known that she was the writer OF
the remarkable sketches and stories which
had attracted so much attention in the
literary circles of Boston and other cities.
Miss Murfree is now in Washington,
the guest of Congressman Richardson OF
Tennessee. She has become as great
favorite in Washington society as she
was in the society of Boston and New
York. She is said to be not handsome
woman, but one who calls for second
look, and who seems to grow better look
ing as acquaintance with her ripens.
She is a charming coIversationalist, be-
ing a better listener than a talker, and
hence is particularly popular with those
who like to do all the talking. Her eyes
are the chief charm of her face, being de-
scribed as large, gentle and laughing.
At the beginning of next month Miss
Murfree returns to her mountain home in
Tennessee to prepare for her marriage,
which is to take place some time during
September Much has been written about
the prospective bridegroom. He has
been described as a six-foot farmer, a
puny clerk OF court, a hunter in the Ten
nessee mountains, briefless but promis-
ingyoung lawyer, etc. The truth appears
to be that he is a six-foot farmer, who has
mad the advantages of liberal education
and who is capable of fully approaching
the genius and admirable qualities of
the woman who is to be his wife.
Miss Murfree does not intend to give
up literary work when she becomes
wife. Her purpose is to devote all her
spare time to it, and it is probable that
with increasing years her genius will de-
velop greater powers. She is very young
vet, but has achieved reputation which
many, twice her age, who are known in
the world of letters, can never hope to at
tain. Miss Muriree belongs to the South
and the South is proud of her. Although
the South has not contributed a great
comparison with what the North has,
the indications are that she will contribute
her fair share in the near future.
