GOVERNMENT AID.
Mr.. Edmunds Offers a Resolution Ap-

propriating 100000.
WASHINGTON. Sept. I0.-In the Senate
to-day Mr.. Edmunds offered a joint resolu-
ton appropriating $4,000 to be expended
under the direction of the President of the
United States in relief of the suffering
caused by the yellow fever now prevailing
in the state of Florida, ana asked for its
immediate consideration. 1t was obvious,
he said. from the public reports, about
which there could be no doubt, that
most dangerous aud fatal plague was
rapidly extending, not only in the stricken
state OF Florida, but in adjacent states, and
that vast amount of suffering was being
caused thereby. The appropriation for re-
straining the disease by quarantine could
not be used IN aid Of the suffering.
HIS ARGUMENT.
He thought, therefore, that while citizens
Of the United States were contributing out
OF their private means as literally as they
might In aid of these stricken people, the
whole people of the United States ought for
the sake Of humanity and the public good
TO contribute out Of the treasury of the
United States 30 aid not only the sick but
those who have left their home, and to help
those communities in their dreadful dis
tress He knew Of no better use TO mako
of part Of the public money than to make
this contribution TO be expended under the

We are practical people, and we have

have no real friendships nowadays. We

Mn. sheridan at Home.

Nearly every pleasant afternoon little
procession may be seen starting from Mrs.
Sheridan's home, in Rhode Island avenue. It
Is the widow Of the great soldier and her four
little children, all dressed in black, going
out for a walk Mrs. Sheridan's mourning,
like everything else about her, is simple and
transformations She has not barred her
house up gloomily or kept her children in
doors, or done anything that is conspicuous
or irrational. She has been a model Of dig
nifty and propriety. A keen observer here,
who has seen a great many widows Of emf
nent men, said the other day; There are
two women in this country who perfectly
understand the proprieties Of their situation.
One is Mrs Conkling, the other is Mrs.
Sheridan. Neither one Of them has uttered
a word in print, expressed an opinion regard
ing their dead husbands friends or enemies,
or departed in any way from the strictest
seclusion. It is a pity the widows Of all
public men don't copy them. Washington

arise from a diseased condition Of the Liver

An interesting figure in one of the leading
restaurants in this city is that of an old man,
shabbily yet cleanly dressed, whose deport-
ment indicates that he has seen better days.
His manners are most courageous and gen

erty, there is an indescribable something
about him which enforces respect. He walks

Pet Startling Talks.

While the residence of Mrs. Davis, on
Penn avenue, was the scene Of a dancing
party the other evening, and during waltz,
n pet startling came huttering into the room.
He planted himself on the piano.
''What kind of bird is that, anyhow"
said somebody "He is dark, steel blue, with
light spots on his breast
"H'ml don't you bnow" said somebody
else. 1T is a thrush. I should think any
one could tell that"
Professor Guenthef, who was at the piano,
remarked: Il have heard that Mrs Davis
brought that bird from Germany four years
ago, and 1 am sure it is thrush, bird that
has the sweetest note, next to the nightin-
gale, of any feathered singer / know Of.
When the professor was about to make his
last remark in defense Of his assertion that
the bird was a thrush the fellow in feathers
suddenly snarled: "Shut up" with such We
henence and eclat that the stiffness Of a
grave could not have been more noticeable
than what followed
Mrs. Davis came forward and explained
the whole thing 1.-THE bird, p she said, ''is a
starting that brought from Germany four
years ago. When the startling is young it
can be taught to speak, which is done by
making a slillful incision in thin mem-
brane under the tongue. That was done with
this bird, and he can talk great deal. But
besides that, he is very tame. He flies all
over the city, and to Allegheny, and often he
is away for several days, but he always re-
turns again. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

SOME QUEER OLD BOOKS.

Volumes Of Peculiar Interest-old Relies
in Bible Lore.
In the department of different church ex-

rare old wonders. Two hundred and forty
two languages and dialects are represented
in book and pamphlet form, one unique
pamphlet Of sixty-four pages alone represent
ing f95 specimen verses from versions in diff
ferent languages and dialects in which the
Holy Scriptures have been printed and circu-
lated by the American Bible society and the
British and Foreign Bible society. This is
the second edition enlarged. A work Of pc
culiar interest is an ancient Hebrew syna-

style Of German ART engraving Of the Six
teenth century, as taught and practieed by
Albrecht Duever and Hans Holbein. The
artist revels in the mystical announcements
OF the Apocalypse. He shows the angels
sounding their trumpets and plaques descend
ing upon the sons Of man, as an authentic
specimen Of German wood engraving in the
beginning Of the Seventeenth century. The
volume is bound in stiff boards, covered with
heavy old leather, with beveled brass cor
ners and leather buckle clasp This ancient
Bible has been in the family for eleven gen
erations
A copy of the "AIathews Biblen Is another
curiosity This was published in l5S9
large part Of this edition was burned by the
order Of the Inquisition, only l,5OO copies
finding their way into circulation. The edi-
tor was John Rogers, the English martyr,
whose picture for so many years adorned tie
pages Of the New England primer. This
COPY was printed in 1851, and from its size
was commonly called the Great Bible, An
other COPY is a Geneva Bible, sometimes
called ''The Old Breeches Bible, from the
curious rendering of Genesis iii, z: They
sewed fig leaves together and made them
selves breeches." The first edition was pub
ished in the city of Geneva from, it is said,
silver type in 1860 II was the most popular
Of all versions in England for sixtyyears. It
was prepared and published under the super
vision of Calvin, Knox, Nottingham and

version. and continued in use among the peo-
pie for a long time after the publication Of
King James version. This relic was loaned
to the Young Mems Bible society dn whose

One case of curious relics in this church de
partment is the exhibit Of a returned Chinese
missionary, Mrs. j. NJ. Shaw, whose husband
died in China This exhibit belongs to the
Presbyterian Missionary society Of the Gin
cinnati presbytery. A Chinese picture book,
compiled $50 years ago, is among the me
mentoes. This book was widely known and
read, and contains incidents supposed to have
been taken from the lives Of real persons who
/ lived 600 and 700 years ago. Translated IS
the following, as an illustration Of contents;
''Lais parents were very old, and fearing
that they might be downhearted, he, when
he was 20 years old, put on a bright flowered
tunic and performed childish antics before
them to make them forget that they were

Tho creat YUKON River,

The official report on the great Yukon river
shows that for COO miles it is in British ter

gold mining regions, where the chief mining
camps are situated. The men are earning $40
to $50 a day washing, but the work lasts only
about two Inophhs in the year, in consequence
Of the freshets and curly frosts. The river is
2.3OO miles long, Of which 2, 600 are navigablo
without singlerapid or portage Its breadth
is six or seven miles in places, and averages
three OF four. Rivers emptying into the
Yukon are broader than the Hudson at New
