Marriage, OF course"
"But thor object in getting married out

get married in this way so that they can
tell their children and their grandchildren
that they were married under peculiar cir.

and me, children, were married in a coal
mine, or, your grandmother and me,
children, were married in balloon"
Perhaps that is the reason" said the
maiden.
COZ course II is the reason"
There was pause. Then the maiden
with the glowing said:
"Pve been thinking, John"
"Ycs?" he said inierrogatively.
"Pve been thinking how funny it would

"Well, Bella, you've been thinking

the money had come. 1t was there and
he got 1t. Never before had he had as

ruined him just like it ruins everybody
to get something for nothing.
The age in which we live is progressive
and aggressive, but it will not produce such
orators and preachers as there were forty
and fifty years ago. Ii produces better
doctors and teachers and farmers and mer-
chants and mechanics, but not such states
men or pulpit orators. Kentucky has no
longer Clay and Breckinrldge and Mar
shall. Tennessee has no Gentry or May
nard or Johnson or Haskell. Mississippi
no Foote or Prentiss. Alabama no Yam
cey. Georgia no Toombs or Hill or Ste
phens or Johnston or Cobb. South Caro-
lima no Calhoun or Cheves or Hayne or
Rutledgc. North Carolina no Macon or
Mangum or Badger. Virginia no JefIcr-
son or Patrick Henry or Madison.
l know that the masses of the people
have advanced, and therefore there is not
such a contrast between them and the
great men as there used TO he, butt is still
certain that the most notable men OF the
day will not compare with those have
mentioned. We have some great preach
ers, but none TO compare with Capors, and
Styles, and Pearce, and Bascomb, and the
blind preacher, Waddell, whom William
Writ made famous. This is utilitarian
age, and everybody is in hurry. There
was time when men Of brains had leisure,
and Solomon says that in leisure there is
wisdom.

should be furnished daily with a detailed
statement of the bonds offered and ac-
cepted.
COMPLIED WITH THE REQUEST
The treasury department had complied
with that request, and ever since April II
the senator from Nevada and the journalist
mentioned had had a complete statement
before them. Why did the senator
insist on having the names
OF the persons offering the bonds'
There must be some reason for it. He
would now withdraw his amendment and
leave to the senate itself the responsibility
OF adopting the resolution.
The motion to refer it to the committee
on finance was rejected.
The discussion for some time took a
political turn
The resolution was then adopted without
modification and without division.

health of his guests who, he said, with the

of parliament better than obscure offenders
were treated.

the commoners although claiming that he
had no respect for the persons. This was
cowardly on his part.

GARLAND TO TAKE A REST.
The President Urges Him to Get Away
From the Capital.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Attorney Gen
eral Garland who has been confined to his
house for two weeks, has been much more
seriously i'll than has been generally admit
ted. He is suffering from shingles, rheu-
matism and general debility, caused by too
close attention to his official duties. In
order to recuperate he has decided to leave
Washington in a day or two for prolonged
leave of absence. Hewill go to his favorite
resort, "Homiuy Hill" Ark, and will
probably not return here before September.
President Cleveland has been quite anxi-
GUS about Mr. Garland's health for some
time, and has been freque MT visitor during
the attorney generalsillness. On the occa-
sion of his last call the President abruptly
told Mr.. Garland that he ought to leave
Washington as soon as possible, and take a
good long rest for the sake of his health.
Mr. Garland accepted the Presidents ad-
vice, and will, therefore, leave for 'Hominy
Hill" as soon as he can make the necessary
arrangements.

HALE ON THE FISHERIES.
A Speech in Opposition to Ratification
Of the Treaty.

of the Treaty
WASHINGTON, June 13.-In the senate
to-day Mr. Hale called up Mr.. Morgan's
resolution as to the fishery treaty, and pro-
eeeded to address the senate on that subject.
ktc said that Mr.. Morgan's speech last week
had filed him with wonder, that he, as a
representative of his party and an advocate
OF the administration, should be urging and
advocating the cause of ''our friends, the
enemy" The question, said Mr.. Hale, was
not local one 1t involved the ma
nonal spirit aud national sympathy.
There was no man living anywhere in the
United States and taking an interest in
public affairs who was not concerned, that
out of the existing conditions should como
the establishment of the rights of his fellow
citizens who are engaged in the fisheries.
NOT GOING INTO DETAILS.
He (Mr. Hale did not propose to assail in
detail the provisions Of the treaty, unsatis-
factory, ilusory and comparatively value
Frye he'd done that in a most thorough
and efficient fashion. But the treaty
was a failure, and must needs
have been failure inevitably,
because neither the administration nor the
negotiatorS had been able to seize or take
INTO consideration the whole situation.
Mr. Hale declared that the fishermen would
agree to no surrender in this matter, and
that his voice was ell one way, and that
was against the treaty. He gave it as his
convection that the desire of the Canadians
10 have the American market opened free
to their fish was at the bottom of all the
trouble. At the close of Mr.. Hales speech
the resolution was postponed till Monday,

WASHINGTON, June 13.-In the senate
to-day Mr.. Blair moved to take up the
senate bill for the adjustment of the ac-
counts of laborers, workmen and mechanics
arising under the eight hour law. A vote
by yeas and nays resulted in 81 yeas to II
nays. The negative votes were all given by
democrats and the affirmative by republi-
cans, the latter being joined, however, by
Messrs. Call and Turpie. AS there was no
quorum voting the roll was called, and
forty-four senators answered.
A motion to proceed to executive business
was made by Mr.. Butler and was defeated
by a vote Of ID yeas to IS nays.
There was another roll call, showing the
presence of a quorum, several senator's,
however, being paired, but another vote on
motion to go into executive business also
failed And then, weary of useless voting,
the senate at 4:20 O'Clock adjourned.
