To day I saw papa sticking knife and
fork into a chicken. AMI the chicken
never moved. So | took a fork neal me
and stuck It into kitten, lying on my lap;
the naughty kitten sprang on the table
and upset tho gravy-dish over the cloth.
Everybody jumped; some caught the
kitten, some The dish, some wiped the
cloth. never saw so much excitement.
I never cre,ted so much excitement as
that kitten did. Now, ii they had
fixed that kitten on a chair as they fixed
me she never would have jumped on the

the table in a great hurry. Mamma took
me up, turned me on her knees, face
downward. and stuck a finger in my
throat until I thought I should choke to
death. After she had half killed me she
began to cry, and screamed: "Scnd for

as if they expected me to do something;
but I was so scared that I couldn't do
ANYTHING. Then the doctor came, and
he laughed, and as | couldn't laugh l

OF CONGRESS-
Senate Sessions.

NINTH DAY.-Mr. Mitchell from the COM
mittee OH pensions reported favorably. the
bill granting a yearly pension Of IS 1000 to
the widow Of General Grant. The bill was
at once passed without debate. 80. Debate oc-
Cured upon Mr.. Buffers resolution of in
quiry relating to the alleged organization OF
Dakota into a State. MI. Vest argued
the question of admission from a legal
point of view, and insisted that
under the decisions of the United States SUI
preme court in former cases of admission, the
recent action in Dakota was revolutionary.
Mr.. Logan inquired if it was revolutionary
for citizens of a Territory to get together
and present their claims to be admitted as a
State, they taking care 10 provide in their now
constitution that they should MOI be a State
till Congress should approve their consti-
tuition. He thought it unfair for Senators
to regard the action in Dakota as revolution
airy. Until they should set up as q State and
undertake to perform the functions OF q
State and the powers of statehood they were
not rovolutionists. MI. Butler said hs had
misapprehended what constituted a State il
the election of Senators and judges was not
exercising statehood. After further debate
the subject went over. The Senate after
more debate agreed to the joint rules.
TENTH DAY.-Ainong the bills reported ia
vorably and placed on the calendar were the
following: BY Mr.. Edmunds, IN reference 10
bigamy and polygamy in Utah. MIR. Ed

cess. By Mr.. Hoar, an original bill to estab'
lish a uniform system Of bankruptcy through

soon as possible after the holiday recess.

commission, consisting of the secretaries OF

referring to the rejection of MIR. Kelley as

Jewess, sustaining the position assumed by
our government in the matter, and conclud-
ing as follows: THE constitution Of the
United States provides that M religious test

States and while sincerely anxious to main
tain friendly relations with Austro-Hungary
and all other governments, the people OF the

Restless Children.

Mothers often complain that their
children are wakeful and restless at
night. They seem we'll during the day,
but, as Don as they go to bed and fall
asleep, they moan, cry, CRATE the teeth,
rub the nose, and roll and thrash nearly
all night long. As a rule. such symptoms
are thought to be caused by worms, and
the unfortunate victims are freely
purged with SWORN medicines" with a
view of curing their nocturnal 'tan-
trums." Now, in nine cases out of ten,
the whole trouble is caused by indiges-
ton and constipation. The child goes to
bed with its stem oh full of indigestible
food. The quality AMI quantity of food
it has taken during the day has been
unfit for its powers of digestion, and
therefore acts as a constant irritant to it's
entire system. The irritation of its
stomach and bowels by indigestib!e food
excites the brain aud spinal cord, and
through these the whole system is kept
in a state of excitement. ''Hence, then,
it is proverbial in early life that the
stomach being delicate and susceptible
to any disturbance, we should be most
careful to select a proper diet, TO con-
slider the quality of food that is sup
piled, to measure the capabilities Of the
digestive system, and to deal with them
accordingly"

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

Great Excitement Over tile Prospect
i'm Great Britain.
The excitement throughout Great Britain
on the subject of home rule and a parliament
at Dublin for Ireland continues without
abatement. Newspapers of all shades of
opinion and politics are urging Mr.. Glad
stone to speak definitely in regard to hi
plans. The late premier, in response to a
telegram sent to him asking him for informa-
ton with reference to the Irish home.rule
scheme which he has had under consideration
for some time, replied:
"From my public declarations at Edin.
burgh respecting the government of 1re'm
you will easily see that l have no furtk
communication to make"
1t will be remembered thatin the speech re-
ferred to by Mr.. Gladstone, which he deliv-
cred on November II, he said, in effect, in
reply to MI. Parnells suggestion to give loca
selt-government to Ireland, that when he
learns through a constitutional channel whet
the wishes Of Ireland are be will give then
attentive consideration, but that he cannot
gain this knowledge until the new parliament
meets.
Mr.. John OConnor Power, nationalist men,
Der Of parliament, in an interview, approved
the scheme, which he said was a fair one II
wa based on the scheme of Mr.. Butt,
the former Irish leader. Mr.. Power did not
however, approve the proposition that the
crown, as a guarantee, have a right to noni-
nate q portion of tho members Of the Irish
parliament. That proposition he character
Zed as too absurd or serious consideration.
He added that Mr.. Parnell's candid accept
ance of the scheme would be necessary in
order to justify the government in introduc-
ing such a measure.
Mr.. Mccartney ~(conservative,) who was
member for Tyrone in the last parliament,
declares that the adoption Of any form of
home rule would be in direct violation of
the constitution, under the provisions of
n,en have invested money in Ireland. To
to betray the minority in Ireland, AMI the
English people would be held responsible for
the consequences.
A Dublin dispatch says that Armagh, in
the province of Ulster, was the scene Of an
addresses were made by prominent loyalists,
who opposed the home rule doctrine. The
meeting adopted q series OF resolutions
expressive Of the belief that the resort
10 home rule principles would be cer-
tain, sooner or later, to event

horted the loyalist party to go to the utmost
length i'll resisting the efforts OF the home

INDIAN ATROCITIES.
A Company OF Troops Ambuscaded
in New Mexico.
Fifteen Soldiers and Citizens Killed
by the Savages

Particulars of a disastrous fight between a
detachment Of United States troops and a
band OF Apache Indians, in the vicinity Of
Silver City, N. NJ, have been brought to Ell
Paso, Texas, by passengers arriving from the
West. The detachment under Lieutenant
Fontaine, it is stated, were surprised at night,
near Alma, N. M, by Indians who were
secreted behind rocks and opened a murder
Gus fire on the soldiers, accompanied by
dslnoniac yells, which threw the detachment
into confusion, and a desperate hand to hand
encounter took place, in which Surgeon and
Lieutenant 7. j. Maddox, one sergeant and
four men of Troop G, Eighth cavalry, were
killed, and Lieutenant Derosey G. Cabell and
q sergeant were dangerously wounded. Be-
side these, seven or eight citizens met death
at the hands Of the fierce savages.
A well-informed gentleman just in from
the scene Of the Indian outrages says that
everybody is leaving the country, and desola-
ton and ~dePopuiation is visible everywhere;
that even the cowboys are leaving, and that
the large ranches with their herds are
left to the mercy Of the savages. These,
however, are well provided with ammuni-
ton and have their ranch residences strongly
barricaded, and seem determined to maintain
the war throughout the winter. Several fam :
lilies have reached Ell Paso from the district
Of Arizona and New Mexico infested by these
bloodthirsty savages, and quite a number of
women and children have been sent to other
towns for safety and protection.
The remainder Of Lieutenant Fontaine's
command, which consisted all told Of thirty
five men, met dead bodies in numerous
places along the line Of their march, the re.
suit Of the devilish work Of the savages a
few days previous.
1t is said General Crook is now in favor Of
employing bloodhounds as auxiliaries to the
army in hunting down the savages, and has
communicated with ths war department
with the object Of securing a sufficient num-
bsr Of dogs to aid the troops in tracking the
inhuman Apaches to their lairs and extermi-
mating them. The hope that the Indians
would cease their relentless war on the ap-
proach of winter has proved a de.usion, and
tho government to successfully cope with
them must largely increase it's force in New
Mexico and Arizona or see the most produc-
tive portions Of these Territories laid waste
and ~depopulated.

WHAT WARNER WANTS
A CongresSMan's Plan to Ply the
Public Dcbt FaSter.

Pubic UCDC FaStcrs
A Washington special to the New York
Herald says:
Mr.. Warner intends to Introduce after the
recess q joint resolution instructing the secre-
tary of tho treasury 10 make q call Of bonds
whenever he has O certain amount or cash IN
hand, the sum to be named in the resolution.
MI. Warner says that he intends in this
joint resolution to recit, the exact condition
Of the treasury on New Years Day, and to
require that only O certain limited amount Of
held in the treasury to serve for the
running expenses Of the govern
ment and the reserve for green
backs. He means to require that this amount
for all purposes shall not be so great as the
one hundred millions now held in gold a, a
greenback res3rve fund, and his resolution
will require that the amount held in the
treasury sha l not at any time exceed the
sun fixed in the resolution, and that all sur
plus which accumulates beyond this shall
be used to call bonds without delay.
Mr.. Warmers joint resolution will be re-
ferred to a committee, perhaps to that en-
ways and means, as it includes much more
than silver, and when reported back to the
House it wi | undoubtedly draw out a long
and thorough debate. 1t will be seen
that while it includes the silver question
it covers much important ground besides. It
attacks The greenback reserve fund, and asks
Congress to instruct the Secretary to dimin-
ish that, and, in fact, no longer to keep it as
q separate fund at ell. Also, while tho ques.
ton of q bond call has always hitherto teen
left by Congress to. the discretion Of the Sec-
rotary of the Treasury, Mr.. Warner now
seeks to have this matter regulated by Con-
gress.
The present demand of a good many of the
silver men is for the unlimited coinage Of
silver. This is the policy which they oppose
to the demand for the repeal of the Bland
bill

A WEIGH MINE HORROR.
An Explosion in a Colliery Causes
Great Loss Of Life.
Scores Of NJ ners Killed and Many
More Injured

A London dispatch says: What it was
thought might turn out to be one Of the
most disastrous calamities in the history Of
mining is reported from Pont-y-Pridd'
Wales. A dispatch was received here from
that place announcing that a terrible OK
plosion had occurred in a large COL
liery, situated near the village from
which the message was sent. Four
hundred miners were reported to be en-
tombed in the ruins Of the Ferndaie pit,
spreading horror into thousands OF hearts.
Pont-y-Pridd is the centre Of a large mining
district, thousands Ct men earning their
bread there by daily toll beneath the
surface Of the earth. The village is
the Tai river, near Lauwitt, and is noted for
coal and tin works. q which there ore a num-
Der in its imme late ighborhool. In addi-
ton to its fame y, a mining district, tho
Pont-y-Prldl is noted for it's extensive chain
and caJle works, many a stout British ship
owing her cables to the work OF the Welsh
men Of the vicinity.
A second dispatch from the scene of the
disaster stated that twelve dead bodies had
been taken out of the pit and thirty miners
had been rescued, all the latter more
or less injured. The remainder Of
those who were in the mine at the
time of the explosion were believed
to be safe. The explosion occurred in the
upper of the two seams. There were $50
men in the mine at the time Of the explosion.
The majority were in the lower seam, other
wise the dea!h list would have bsen much
larger. At least fifty men were killed in tina
upper seam and scores were terribly burnet,.
The injured wer, carried TO places of safety
by their more fortunate companions who had
not been hurt.
A la er dispatch states that $50 m,n had
been rescued, seven Of whom wero so fear
fully burned that they were not expected to
live.
