BABY KATIE.
MISS.

Baby Katie, three years old,
Eyes OF sapphire, hair Of gold;
flushed her song of baby glee,
Where she sat on grandpa's knee.
Lovely in its baby grace,
Grave and thoughtful grew her face,
While her dimpled hands, outspread,
Softly fondled grandpa's head.
'Mong his locks, like silver spun,
In and out her fingers run.
''Tell me, dandpa," said the sprita
"How you dot you hair SO white.
Tis so boo'ful and SO fine,
So much pritier dan mine.
Tell me, dandpa, wharlo do
To mate mine white and pity, too.
Grandpa laughed 'sWell, 1 declare,
So my baby wants white hair.
Tiny, sweet, ambitious Kate,
Many years you'll have to wait;
Feel the chill Of lfe's decline,
Ere your hair can be like mine.
Hair like mine is bleached, sweet dear,
BY the SHOWS of many year"
Katie slips from grandpa's knee,
Claps her hands in merry glee;
Speeds, with pattering footsteps deet
Through the door into the street,
Where the snow is coming down.
Soft and silent, o'er the town.
Wondering what the sprite would do,
Grandpa follows slowly, too.
"Loot, dear dandpa. loot" she cries,
Laughter beaming from her eyes;
'Dess you'll see you baby Kate
Didn't had so long to wait
AS the many years you said
For the SHOWS to white her head"

Considering the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 14,-The Ways and
Means Committee to-day began formal con,
sideration of the Mills tariff and revenue
bill, the entire document being read TO the
committee by the clerk No amendments
were offered for the reason that they will
not be in order until the consideration of
the dill by paragraphs, whicn will begin
tomorrow and be continued from day to
day until completed.
The Republican leaders in the House,
since their failure TO unite their followers in
support Of the principles of Randall's bill,
have been making arrangements TO ascer-
tain more definitely what sort Of
bill their followers will support.
Tc this end they have appointed
a committee to make inquiries among the
members so as to find out what they all
want. Free tobacco and free sugar seem
to be the desires Of most Of them. Among
the Western men there is also n desire for
free salt, free lumber and free wool.

JONES' CLAIM FOR COTTON.
The House Debates the Bill Without
Result.

heSQAJ.
WASHINGTON, March l4--In the House
today seve al private bills were passed, and
ono measure referring to the Court of
Claims, the claim of Hannah J. Jones' ex-
ecutrix of Emanuel Jones, gave rise to con-
siderable discussion. The facts in the case
are thai during the war, Emanuel Jones,
British subject residing in Mobile, pur-
chased with Confederate money, a number
of bales of cotton. In April, 1855, the Fed
eral army took possess on of Mobile, and
guard having been placed around the ware
house in which the cotton was stored, Mr..
Jones was denied admission thereto.
BURNED IN THE WAREHOUSE.
In August following, the warehouse was
burned down and the cotton destroyed.
The claim is for the value Of the cotton so
DESTROYED
Mes,rs Hooker, of Mississippi, and Her
bert, of Alabama, advocated the measure
rs on of common justice By the act of
the United States government Mr.. Jones
was deprived of his power to ship his cot
ton, or to insure it, and his executrix should
have an opportunity To appear before the
Court of Claims and present the facts upon
which he based his claim for relief.
. LrKENED TO A sHYLoCK.
Mr. Hopkins opposed the bill and stated
that he would rather pay the claim OF
brave Confederate soldier than that of
shylock who took advantage of the mis-
fortunes of the people among whom he
lived
Mr.. Bland thought the claimant had no
right TO come before Congress for relief
The proper way was for the claimant TO
appeal TO the British government, which
would bring the matter TO the attention of
the State Department if there was any
equity in it.
Mr. Hooker stated that Mr.. Jones had not
gone South to take advantage of the mis-
fortunes of the people, but had lived there
before the breaking out of the war.
AN INGENIOUS TURN.
Mr.. Herbert said that the United States
had provided for the payment of claims of
a similar nature when demanded by the
British government, and the question now
presented was whether the United States
would not do justice to the claimant unless
the British government was behind him to
enforce his decree.
Mr.. Allen, of Mississippi, inquired whether
Mr.. Jones aided either side du. ing the war.
Mr.. Hooker replied that he did not.
Mr. Allen-Then that settles the bill for
me. [Laughter.l
Mr. Hopkins moved to lay the bill on the
table.
Pending action on the motion the House
adjourned.
