A BIG SCHEME.

One of the biggest schemes before Con-
gress is being worked very quietly and
its friends are quite confident OF its sue
cess. The plan in brief is the building
of an additional outlet for the Missis-
sippi river, and those who are backing it
modestly ask the Government to take a
hand in the enterprise. As nearly as can
be ~ascertained from the meager informa-
ton obtainable from those in charge OF
the measure, it is contemplated to pro-
pose to build this outlet free of cost, and
that the Government shall pay the com.
pany according to the results. For each
foot Of reduction in the volume OF the
water, the company will expect the Gov.
eminent to pay it one million dollars.
The magnificent possibilities of this raid
on the Treasury cannot be even estimated.
Engineers who have experience in the
matter say that such an outlet would at
first reduce the volume OF the water at
the point where the company intends to
make it's measurements, but at the time
of a flood the water would be backed
so much further up the stream that the
additional outlet would be of no appre.
ciable benefit. The estimates of the re.
duction of the water vary all the way
from six to fifteen feet. The outlet can
be built for a comparatively small sum,
and consequently there will be an i'm
e margin for profits in case the
proposition passes. This scheme is a
much simpler and more gigantic one than
the River and Harbor bill. 1t is said
that its friends will make an endeavor to
have it introduced as an amendment to
the River and Harbor bill, when that
measure reaches the Senate. If adopted,
of course, the points in disagreement. OF
which this scheme would be one, would
have to be referred to a Conference Com.
mittee. The House would never have q
chance to debate the proposition to yank
over half a dozen millions from the
Treasury. There are a number of gentle.
men in Washington, however, who are
watching the progress of this little job,
and are confident that at the proper time
they will be able to kill it.

AND ROME.

Between the German Government and
the Pope good progress has been made in
reconciling the differences Of the religious
war, and a very fair compromise is in
prospect; but peace is not yet an accom-
pIished fact. His Holiness has informed
the Chancellor that as soon as the Gov
eminent bill for the revision Of the May
laws "was accepted and promulgated, "
then Rome in turn would concede an i'm.
portant point toward overcoming the
practical evil of the present situation,
and would instruct the Bishops to SUBJ
nit to the civil authority. and subject to
its veto, the names OF the priests NOM
mated to parishes now vacant. Submis-
sion Of the ecclesiastical to the civil
authority and the assumed power of the
Government to control the church as part
of the machinery Of the State-its &C.
clesiastical independence, in fact, Of the
"infallible" Prince OF Rome-was Of
course the original point at issue; as Bis
marck has always intended that there
should never be more than n in
fallible authority in Germany. Conse-
quently, the above stated concession,
had it not been qualified by an "if and
limited to an occasion, would have ended
the war at once. But it is to become eff.
f~ective only in a specific contingency;
and is not then to be neld and applied
for the present and in the future as a
governing principle in the relations OF
the church with Germany, but it is only
TO apply to the actual filling of places
now vacant. It is a declaration of what
Rome will do if Germany does some
thing else; but His Holiness adds that if
Germany in the future goes further in
her revision Of the ecclesiastical statutes,
then the plan of submitting nominations
to the civil authority "may be contin.
ued in the future" To the Chancellor's
suggestion that unless the Pope made the
rule of notification to the authorities
permanent from the present time the bill
already prepared could hardly get a ma.
jority in Parliament, the Pope responds
that this notification would be made per-
manent from the present time, if the
Government bill was so amended as to
satisfy His Holiness that it would remove
all obstacles to "a complete restoration
of religious peace" There is some diplo-
matte fencing in all this. each side play
ing not so much to overreach the other
as to avoid the appearance of having sur
rendered any part of its own position.
But the intention is to make peace, and
therefore it is reasonably certain that a
way will be found out of all difficulties.

THE HOUSEHOLD HISTORY


She had not one when she q bride
Stood young and fair at fathers side.
For see that photo, faded tho
1t is and marked Hong ago
The baby fingers held it, wooing
The pictured face with baby cooinp-
How smooth the outlines must have been
Where dimples lufked in cheek and china
low we who love her well may trace
The household history on her face
Those creases on the forehead might
Be eloquent of many night
And dreary5 day Of heart-wrung tears,
80 slowly passed those four dread years,
When martial notes thro' all the land
Rang out, and father, with the rest,
Fought for the cause he thought the best,
Came home alive, with glory. Nayi
Not glorious-he wore the gray.
A stray line here and there of toll
May speak Of how stubborn soil -.
At first its fruitS refused to yield,
Then generous gave on every field.
Then sister Bessie went aout west"
The first young bird to stranger nest;
And mother, smiling made her sweet
As for her happy troth was meet
Yet sad lines came, for parting will,
Tho ne'er SO sweet, be sorrow still
And those that have trick of showing
When she is serious, and going
OFF in smiles, right well know
Though she would never have it So
Were thoughtless plowed by wayward
child;
She says: "Why, Will was only wild
Awhile, as any man will be;
Where is better son than herr
make her say it now anon,
For Will-that Will and are one
But this about the mouth. All, this
Will only melt when angels kiss
For love the piteons seam away;
When one among them--little May
With shining eyes and aureole hair,
A lovely thing where all are fair,
Will clasp her close and make forgot
The graveyard gate, the grass green plot,
The little mound, with sculptured dove
Its wings outspread the mound above
And so we read our household book
Upon her face where still outlook
Undinlned and brown the eyes that shine
AS on that bridal morn divine

Using an Adaptable Old Story.

There is NO more useful article in this
world than an adaptable old story. Lowell
says that the first point that the good after-
dinner speaker sees to is his anecdote First
catch your story: and see that it is suitable
one. There are a number of New York
correspondents who make living out of
the adaptable story. Whenever a noted
man dies these enterprising fellows adapt
the stories in stock to him and the adapted
yarns 60 the rounds

agreed with a party not to laugh at any of
the jokes rival wit got off on certain

Then saw one time that John McCul-
Tough was in Washington and went to din
ner where Barney Williams was to be and
they agreed to laugh at nothing Barney
said, and they didn't, much to Barney IS dis
comfort. Then it seems that Vanderbilt
was not as devoid of numor as many sup
posed. Once he dined with Jim Scott, and
they made up that they would never laugh
at one Of Scott's stories, and Jim felt so mad
that he went out and told his best stories to
q board fence, and thus the round goes

The days preceding the wooing of the fiery
Katherine were exciting ones for her attend
ants. She fairly annihilates q maid who is
dressing her hair, and brings music teacher
to grief. The picture Between Blasts"
gives an idea of Miss Katherine enjoying

sents a result of her displeasure. THE Shrew

And as for the chorus, it was an improve

NEW YORK, Jan. 13-America has its
own opera at last. The eagle has been
taught to sing as melodiously as any foreign
bird that ever wore feathers At last, after
years of homage to Italy and Germany, we
are on onr own feet in the matter of music,
and can stand without wobbling. We can
produce the emotional lyric dramas with
our own talent and in our own tongue, and
do it well We can go to the opera now
without lying. We can understand and
appreciate. The simplest of us can fit the
words to the sound--a tremendous gain,
surely.
The opening Of this heretofore intact seal
occurred at the Academy of Music on Mon
day night, the 4th inst 1t was an event OF
great magnitude and very bad weather.
Nobody minded the rain, however, for the
old academy was filed with the most inn
portant human material the city could
produce. !:

man, or women-several having assisted in
the great work, Mrs. F. B. Thurber taking

NAMES. VANISHING RED MEN.

A Handful Left of the Once Powerful
Tarratines-The State Annuity.
The handful of Indians who represent all
that is left of the once powerful Tarratine
tribe, who were the foes and superiors in war
Of the Mohawks, are now loud in their
lamentations over the death of Sockbesin
Swasson, the governor of the colony ON Old
town island, twelve miles above Bangor
Governor Swasson dropped dead the other
night, and the tribe is left without head un-
til new election! can be had.
These Tarratines are intermixed with the
French Canadians to great extent, and are
pretty well civilized, but for all that they are
rapidly dying out, as are the Passamaquod-
dys, and the day is not far distant when it
will be possible to count Maine's red men on
the fingers In view of this the Maine His
torical society has taken measures for
the prevention of Indian relics-village
sites, mounds, shell heaps, etc. The
Tarratines, or Penobscots, as they are
commonly called. live by river dr:v-
ing, a faint attempt a. farming, and by
the manufacture of canoes, snowshoes, fancy
baskets, etc. No white man can make a
canoe like the Penobscot Indian; neither can
any other Indian fashion the birch SO grace
Iully. lneL SuOWsHO6S are SO ROOU LQdU re-
Gently an order for 100 pairs was received
from the far west. The fancy baskets go
everywhere, as do the pretty bows and arrows
and birch bark bric-a-brac-the like of which
is not made anywhere else. The old men and
squaws and the children make these wares and
the sales now amount to about $12, 900 year.
The state government pays the Tarratines
an annuity OF about $6,0 900 year, and this,
with the basket money and what the young
men earn river driving t.nd hunting, supports
the 800 survivors of this once powerful tribe.
Their money is expended largely for pork,
molasses, tobacco, and rum, the latter com
modify being obtained in Bangor, on the
streets of which city may be frequently seen a
red man "over the bay" There are several
elderly squaws, principal among whom is one
called BETSY Francis" who are familiar
sights here, coming down in the morning with
their burden of baskets and going back at
night drunk But the Tarratines are q great
deal better people than they once were, and
this is because of the watchful care and
guidance of the Catholic priest and the island
nuns.-Bangor Cor. New York Sun.
