THERE was a tariff conference at Senator Evarts house in Washington last night, and it was decided, after a good deal of talk to introduce a tariff bill which it is understood, will make a reduction of about $50, ,000. The sugar tax is to be re- duced one-half thus cutting off about S29, ,O0O, ,0O0 The bill will also place alcohol on the free list thereby making a reduction of about $6,000,0 It has been contended by some of the senators that this could not be done without creating and increasing frauds upon the revenue, but the republican senators in charge of the bill hold that it can be ac- complished by rigid binding system The senators may retain the tax on cigars cheroots, etc. It has been said they would propose the repeal of the entire tobacco tax in all its forms; but some of them think cigars, cherocts, otc., ought to continue to be taxed.
 HERE is what Senator Mitchell says of the attempt of the republicans in the sen ate to frame tariff bill: "If MT Allison and a few others persist in this intention to frame tariff bill, they will make the greatest mistake they could possibly make just at this time and am not alone in this opinion by any means. We may talk about the democrats not being united, but they are not circumstance to us! They have had desperate time in uniting upon a tariff, but have succeeded, with but very few men breaking from the party ranks. We, on the other hand, would not only have desperate time, but we never could unite on any bill. It is sim ply impossible. Senators Ingalls, and Plum and the California men will fight any reduction of the duty on sugar, and that's what 1 understand the senate bill will do. Then the total aboli- tion of the tobacco tax could never be agreed upon. It is impossible to form a bill to take the place of the one passed by the democrats of the house. They have been the target for us all winter Now we are about to become the target ourselves. That means that we put ourselves volun tarily up for attack, and what for Simply to show to the country how completely at swords points we are on this tariff issue and be laughed for our failure to pass bill"

ON THE STAGE.
BIT ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

In the rosy light of my days fair morning,
Ere ever a storm cloud darkened the west
Ere ever q shadow of night gave warning,
When life seemed only pleasant guest,
Why, then, all humor and comedy scorning,
liked high tragedy best.
1 liked the challenge, the fierce fought duel,
With death or parting IN every act;
liked the villain to be more cruel
Than the basest yillaln,could be, in fact,
For it fed the fires of my mind with fuel
OF the things that my life lacked.
But as time passed on and met real sorrow,
And she played at night on the stage of my
heart
/ found that could not forget on the morrow
The pain had felt IN his tragic part;
And. alas, no longer | wished to borrow
My grief from the actors part.
And as life grows older and therefore sadder
get sweeter. mayb in its autumn haze),
/ find more pleasure in watching the gladder
And lighter order of humorous plays,
Where the mirth is as mad or may be madden,
Than the mlrth of my lost days.
1 like to be forced to laugh and be merry,
Though the earth with sorrow is ripe and
rife;
/ like for an evening at least to bury
All thought of trouble, or pain, or strife.
In sooth, like to be moved to the very
Emotions miss IN life. -E1change.

Oregon and Washington.

No section of the country Ia to-day
attracting as much attention as Mon
tana, Oregon and Washington; Mon
tana, because 1t now ranks first In the
production Of precious metals; Ore
gon, because of its rich valleys, and
Washington Territory by reason of its
mild climate, timber, coal, minerals
and wonderful productions OF fruits
and cereals. The rapid growth OF
Spokane Falls, with o water power
exceeding even that Of Minneapolis
Tacoma, on Puget Sound, the termi-
nus of the Northern Pacific railroad,
with 1000 inhabitants; Seattle, thirty
miles distant, an energetic and thriv-
ing city, mark this section Of the Pa
cihc Northwest a. one that offers pc
culiar inducements to those seeking
new homes.
BY writing Chas. 8. Fee, General
Passenger Agent, Northern Pacific
Railroad, st. Paul, MINI, he will send
you illustrated pamphlets, maps and
books giving you valuable information
in reference to the country traversed
by this great line from st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Duluth and Ashland to
Portland, Oregon, and Tacoma and
Seattle, Washington Territory. This
road, In addition to being the only
rail line to Spokane Falls, Tacoma and
Seattle, reaches all the principal points
in northern Minnesota and Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton, possesses unequaled scenic attrac-
tions, as well 90 superior train equip
ment, such as dining cars and colonist
sleepers for the use Of intending set
tiers, neither of which convenience
are to be found on any other line

territories named.

"Love Your Enemies. +"
Youth,a Cam i,anlon.

When the Eighth Vermont rcgi-
ment was In Louisiana, one OF the o:.
GERS was taken very Ill, and left In
charge of Q picket. post. A woman
near by urged him to come TO her
house, AZ tho climate was malarious.
He declined her hospitality, but before
long became 30 much worac that his
companions carried him 10 the house
In almost dying condition.
Mrs. 4parks-this was the good
woman's name--p perceived his almost
desperate case, but had no medicines,
nor could any bc procured nearer than
New Orleans, ten miles away. What
could she do for this enemyp Her
husband was inhrm, and the few ne
groes who remained to her were old
and decrepit. Moreover, 4. was late
In the afternoon, and rain was falling
heavily but something she must do,
even though the sick man was In arms
against her government.
She sent one of her servants To the
house Of neighbor, Ave miles distant,
and this woman, u violent Secessionist,
went herself 10 New Orleans, through
drenching rain, for the medicine.
She Travelled fifteen miles In the storm
and the darkness, and crossed the Mis-
sissippi river twice, and all TO save the
lie Of an enemy.
The officer remained In the house
for six weeks. and was cared for most
assiduously. Such deeds are worth
recounting; they 90 far 10 redeem the
horrors of war.

thing that looks ike ehroudl The
crowded room in which an hour since
so many were dancing, has grown
larger, but the dancers have departed
Where the orchestra was, is now. q
coffin, with solitary mourner kneel-
ing by its side, her head bent in weep
ing, her feet bathed in tears! God
bless the solitary one, wherever she
may bel The pretty walks and Dor
ders in the Bots de Boulogne have given
place to sloppy cutters, down which
the molten frost is coursings The
mountains are dwindling down-the
plains on which SO many buffalo were
seen, are still there, but OIL how
changed! The ships have gone to the
bottom OF the lakes and oceans, while
the oceans are also disappearing! The
river that looked so beautiful an hour
since Is still to be seen, but 1t is now
the river of death! Its swelling waters
havesaooded the fiowery banks-have
swept down the little craft that fioated
so securely there NOT long since, and
are now climbing and washing up
against the sides of the bluff The
battle field has been drowned In tears,
and all that remains of its glittering
soldiery, and thirst for glory, is a
blankl The spires have gone from
the churches-the cities have been
drowned out-the streets are little
Holland canals-the deer and hunter
have sunk into the earth-the crowd
that walked by the river bank have all
gone, and the whole scene has changed !!
The railroad has been taken up, and
the train of cars has given place TO a
happiness saw there an hour since has
fed, and nothing now Is left but tears
and panesi The little cascades, rivu-
let's, and brooklets have run into the
lake, in which can see few mounds
covered by fends, leaping and grin
ming at the general ruin! The angels
have departed, but all over the win
dow are the tears they shed at the fall
of my miniature world! The tree 80
laden with fruit has been trimmed OF
its branches till 1t resembles q man
who has lost his friends, and from
whom hope has fled-a twisted, ugly,
deformed trunk, fast settling into the
general destruction.
Now all 10 gone trees, plants, birds,
angels, demons, rivers, animals, ships,
implements, men, cities, deserts, noun
tains-all-all have melted--a few
tears being all that Is left OF what
was once 30 beautiful. Thus will pass
the world away--the spirit passing on.
AS some men can by one action sweep
out life of honor and happiness, so
has the consuming sun In one hour,
swept away the labor of an entire
night, leaving us but the lesson to en-
Joy the beautiful while 1t Ia with us,
and that when the ballroom of life
gives way for the room of weeping,
we may merit the tears of at least one
solitary mourner, who in our depar-
ture to the land of the Leal has lost
from the present at least one devoted
friend to sit and think of us after we
have passed the line of life's final Sat-
urday night.-Pomeroy's Advance
Thought.
