River and HarbOr Bill.

Res lived That we denounce the and harbor
bill pass.dby the National House OF Representatives
for its extravaganza and wastetulness in the ap
prppration of nearly $4,000 000 of the peoples
money, sum which will probable be increased by
the republican Senate and express the hope that the
democratic President will teach Congress much
needed lesson in economy by the interposttion of

democrats assisted by few republicans.
II went to democratic President. and the
same hand which vetoed so many private
pensions bills approved this extravagaut

Senators and representatives in Congress
all voted against the bill. The character
OF the bill is described in the New York
Sun as follows:

General Grant never signed a River and

signed none that came within S5,oO0,0 600 of

Eugene Schuyler, in his volume on
american Diplomacy" did grave injustice
to Hon. Eiihu B. Washburne, saying that in
the six years he was secretary of state in 1868
he "removed the greatest number of consular
officers" Examinations of the facts show
that Mr.. Washburne could not have removed
more than one officer, if he did that one. On
the other hand, Mr.. Washburne specifically
declined to make appointments, as he knew
that he was holding the office but for few
days. Schuyler repeated an idle rumor with
out investigation, and owes Mr.. Washburne
an apology.

The Ciergymau's First We ding Fee.


1t was their first wedding The groom was
new" so was the bride, and the Congrega-
tional clergyman had committed matrimony
only in his imagination. Finally, however, il
was all over; the twain was one flesh, and the
little wife was weeping in the arms of ber
mother. The groom slipped up to the nerv-
Gus minister, and as that gentleman was
about to pass out into the night pressed coin
into his hand.
"A SO gold piece" thought the young
preacher. His heart beat faster now than
when officiating at the wedding He needed
the money SO much Indeed, he often wished
his meagre salary was only half its size, he
bad such difficulty in collecting it. And now
to receive so all at once. Why, it Then
it occurred to him that it was customary for
the minister TO make the bride present Of
his first marriage fee. The good man sighed
as he removed his thin overcoat and returned
to the room where the guests were offering
their congratulations TO the newly welded
couple.
Il forgot something" said he as he ap-
preached the bride. This is the first mar
riage fee / have ever received. 1t is yours
1t should be kept as reminder Of this occa-
sion"
The young bride stretched out her hand,
and the coin rang as it touched her marriage
ring. The guests looked up; the unconscious
wife did not close her hand upon the fifty
cent piece that lay there, and all saw it. The
minister was glad it was his first marriage;
the guests tried to appear as if they did not
see the half dollar, and the reporter quietly
smiled, and thought perhaps the young hus-
band was saving up to buy the divorce.-Chi-

man On trial the victim positively identified
the thief, saying, though the robbery oc-
CURED at night, the moon was bright enough
to allow him to see the face Of his assailant.
The driver and footman both gave similar
testimony. Curran addressed the court and
the jury. He pleaded that his client was not
guilty-had been at home, fifteen miles away
from the scene of the robbery at the time of
its occurrence. He could not prove an alibi,
for a wife could not testify for her husband,
and his child was not old enough to know
the import OF an oath; but he could introduce
the only witness the prosecution had de-
pended on for identiication-the moon. aThe
driver and footman testified as they did be
cause their master did sou There Curran
called for the almanacs. Several Of the red
bound pamphlets were brought in. The Judge
took one. Turning to the date of the robbery,
which occurred at IL O'Clock, it was discoy-
cred that no moon arose that night, and the
prisoner was acquitted. He talked to Cur
ran afterward, and the attorney said: "You
