could get Il TO wear in winter. The
people to-day were compelled to weall
carpet instead OF clothing wool, and
now the wool growers and wool manu-
facturers came TO an agreement thai
the duty should be so high that no WOO
and no woolen goods could be brought
in. He supposed that the people could
afford to 90 naked, but for him and his
party he would say, Wear good clothes
and vote the Democratic ticket" Let
the people hive free raw material in
order that they might reduce the cost Of
the product, for the cost of the product
was TO determine the standing OF the
market. II the people OF the United
States could produce a product cheaper
than any other people they would cap
ture the markets. The manufacturers
OF this country should have the raw ma
terial free and thus be placed on the
same basis rs manufacturers OF other
countries. The American manufacturer
should have free field and an open
fight. The Democrats were going to give
1t to him.
At the conclusion of his address Mr..
Mills was enthusiastically cheered. Both
the amendments passed. At this point
the roll was about to be called on the
final passage OF the bill, when Mr.. Sow
don, OF Pennsylvania, sent to the clerks
desk and had read n communication from
Mr.. Randall, in which that gentleman
said he wanted a pair when the vote on
the tariff bill should be taken, as he
would vote against the bill. He was
distinctly opposed TO the bill in ques-
ton.
Applause on the Republican side
greeted the reading Of the letter. The
roll call was then begun and proceeded
The vote OF gentlemen in OPP
position, seemingly to their political
faith, was greeted with loud applause by
those who were favored. Messrs. Bliss,
Merriman and Grecnman New York,
and Sowden (PennsylvaniaG Democrats,
voted against the bill. Messrs. Fitch, OF
York, Nelson, OF Minnesota, and Brewer,
Of North Carolina, Republicans, voted
in favor OF its passage. Messrs. Ander.
son, OF Iowa, Hopkins, OF Virginia, and
Smith, Of Wisconsin Independently,
voted for the bill.

NYonldn,t Listen TO Gossip.

Mrs Chase, of whom the story was told, was

Intelligence of Rats.

Rats are usually considered noxious ami
mails and little mercy is shown to them.
Doubtless they were created for useful pur-
pose-perhaps to act as scavengers and help
to remove offensive objects When they de-
stroy young ducks and chickens, or pillage
grain in the stables, it is right to keep them
down.
At a country house, where they had become
very troublesome, a barrel was sunk in the
ground behind the stable yard and half filed
with water. A fat stick was balanced as Il
swivel over 1t, and bait put on the end
over the water. Next morning the bait was
gone, but no drowned rat was in the water
The coachman pointed out, from the marks
left on the wood, that a large rat had sat on
the shore end of the stick while smaller rat
had in safety removed tho bait from the other

Some weeks since man came 10
Wilczinski Station in search ofemploy-
ment. He made the acquaintance of
Mr.. 10. Silverstein who became favor

chinist, man of fine information, ex-
hibited evidences in language and de-
meanor of educated mind and man
ners; and was evidently as MIR. Silver
stein believed, an estray from some
cause from home Of refinement il
not Of wealth. His name was Frank
Cushing, he was about 5 feet inches
in height, and of fair complexion, and
was from New York. He remained at
Wilczinski but a short time when he
left to do some work for planter.
On Wednesday morning Mr. Silver
stein learned of his death at Perry Pey-
tons place in Bolivar county, and being
unwilling that he should be buried as
a paupcr, came into the city and bought
coffin in which to give him rcspecta-
bio burial. Somewhere the stranger
had loved ones; and 1t is requested
that the newspapers generally make
notice of his death, that the friends he
left in his former home may know his

Five Small Houses Burned.

At about half-past four o'clock on
Thursday morning house belonging
to Brown & Snowberger, on Locust
street, was discovered to be on fire.
The fire company and citizens respon-
ded promptly to the alarm, but owing
TO the insufficient water supply, that
and four other small houses were con-
sumed before the fire could be stopped.
The house in which the fire started
was unoccupied, having beon vacated
the day before. Brown & Snowberger
had no insurance. Eliza Rhodes, who
owned two of the buildings, had $3.50
insurance upon each. The other two
belonged to Sam Harris and were un-
insured. Julia Sherman, tenant in one
of the houses, had 5000 insurance on
furniture and wearing apparel. The
contents of the houses were nearly all
saved. The fog was SO heavy that the
flames could not be seen from any dis
tance.

ashore and went home. 1t is said that
the boat did not whistle, or If SO her
whistle was not heard. II was the

front within corporate limits was
guarded against the stealthy skiff as
well as the noisy steamer; but on that
night il did not seem to be. Since

A Quarantine Incident.

Some time last week a painter from
Jackson Mississippi, was found in our
city; and after examination and thor
ough fnmigation, he was made to leave
the city. On Wednesday he was caught
by the quarantine guard endeavoring
to come into the city again. He said
that he could go nowhere in the coun-
try, and could get nothing to eat. Not
knowing any better way to dispose of
him, unless by drowning, he was rowed
across the river and put into an empty
boat, where he is surrounded by water.
The quarantine officers will see that he
issupplied with grub while in detention
upon the boat. AS the craft is hard
aground and the river falling he can
not steal the boat.
