Hatch of Moissouri, had read telegram
from Mr.. Powderly to Speaker Carlisle to
the effect that no person whatsoever is
authorized to speak for the Knights
of Labor, either for or against the pending
bill Hatch in explanation of a missppre-
hension as to the scope of the bill, said that
OF her compounds not colored in imitation of
butter were not liable to taxation
Townshend corrected Hatch, and said
that no oleomargarine or imitation butter
could be sold without tax, whether sold
under the true name or not
McCreary of Kentucky offered an amend
ment providing that tine tax of 10 cents per
pound shall be imposed upon oleomarsarine
only when manufactured and sold as
butter
Mills of Texas denounced the doctrine
contained in the bill. II congress passed
this bill it would be virtual announcement
that it was ready at the demand of strong
interest to strike down a weaker one.
Allen of Missouri, in humorous speech
said he would support the bill if the tax was
reduced
Messrs Parker of New York, Henley
of Cali ornia, and Buchanan OF New Jersey
supported the bill
Hudd of Wis, considered oleomargarine
obnoxious compound and favored taxing it
out of existence. Bland thought the bill
should he amended SO that it would lie an
honest law against fraud Stone Of Mass,
regarded the Till as deceptive in its present
shape Milhken OF Me, favored the bill as
a revenue measure
After some further debate, Townshend's
amendment was re ;ected--65 to 81.

FIFTY YEARS IN A NADH0UsH.

A great many years ago Jean Mistral
was placed in a French madho use. His
parents were rich, and turned their backs
upon him because be had married an op-
era singer For time he and his wife
made precarious living, and then be
pretended to separate from the woman
and sought his parents to get their for
giveness. They had him put in mad
house, and aftcrwards-in 1S37-caused
the woman to be expelled from France,
because she would not, for an annuity OF
500 francs, confess herself to be an aban>
doned woman. The other day Mistral,
through the eiferts Of a newspaper which
has been investigating similar cases. was
brought before a tribunal, and after a
long and severe examination was adjudg-
ed to be perfectly sane-a very curious
thing indeed, after the horrors he has IN
dergene for SO many years. The fortune he
comes into by this conclusion amounts to
So, 100000 francs; but his health is
ruined, he has lost the confidence of
youth and middle age, and bis only pur-
pose at this moment is to recover tho
woman for whose sake he has endured SO
much. 1t will be almost impossible to
find her II she is alive, but the probabiIi-
~ is that she died long ago. 1t IL q very
pathetic story, aud how many stories
like it are there not only in France, but
here and in other parts of the world?

Der of cases very like that Of Mistral
have been exposed in Pennsylvania; but
they are merely the sensation Of day,
and all proposed measures Of reform are
stopped as soon. A mailman has no bus
mess with the world. and the sane man
in the madhouse is even more unfortu-
nate than his companions and quite as
likely to be forgotten.
