 "Singularly enough the gentleman who up to about year ago had filled the position l formerly occupied is now holding the same post for our firm, and his resemblance to myself is q striking one, we being, in fact, cousins. The senior of the clerks over the way saw from description given a likeness of my booIl-keeper, and although he did not think he had been with the firm in the year mentioned, he advised the young man to step over to our office and inquire for him.
 He came over, and the resemblance was so strong that he could hardly be convinced that he had not found the friend he said he had been searching for during the last six years.
 In the course of their conversation my cousin asked him if he remembered where the house was situated when he paid visit to mo, and on his mentioning the street, and knowing that l had formerly resided there, saw at once that l was the man he was looking for, and told him to come in yesterday, when I should be iu the office.
 " Yesterday he came, and lad not been acquainted of the case by my bOOh-kecper the recognition would still have been mu- tual. He was delighted to lind mo- and with tears in his eyes thanked mo Ggain and again for the little act of kindness l had performed years before, and to which he said he attributed his success since that time.
 He had been working in'New orh, and the first dollar he had ever managed to save he placed in that little toy, he havng bought 1t for the purpose, and had added to his store until he had the amount l had given him. with interest.
 From that time he had been searching for me, but up to the day he had seen the name of the firm when accidentally pass ing along this street, lie had not been able to get the slightest rlcw to my where abOutS.
 1.-Two or three years ago he married, was now at work i'll Boston, and the little bank he produced from his pocket contained the sum had loaned him, which he had sacred ly preserved for the sole purpose of repay ing me. Many q time his wife had asked him why he kept the little toy so carefully, and what the contents were for, but he had kept the secret even from her, and now that he had found mo he hoped that I would not refuse to accept it.
 "Seeing my reluctance, he said he was in constant work had good home and lOv- ing wife, and he should not feel the pay ment; and he could rot be satisfied without returning to mo what he claimed had been tho means of giving him his start in Iife i and could not feel happy unless 1 allowed him to complete the work he had for the past six years tried hard to accomplish.
 As you sec, I have accepted the little toy, and feel as proud as if I had been pre- sented with some testimonial of respect by my employees.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1888.
Edltor OF the Clarion-Lsdgcr -
For the information of numerous
correspondents and OF The people Gen.
orally, We do wish TO state through
your columns:
First That the Mills Bills, as il
passed the House of Representative.
baling for cotton is taxed thrcc.cights
cents per yard,
Second-That the Senate has no
constitutional power to originate n
Revenue Bill, and hence no power TO
originate a bill in relation to the tax
on bagging.
Third That the only CHARGE for re.
lief by Congressional action from the
present combination, a trust in rcla.
ton to bagging, is in the passage of
the Mills Bill as it is. SO far as Il re.
lates to bagging.
Fourth-Wc now see but littlc
chance, if any, for the Senate and
House to agree at tins session on \
'arill bill; aud hence there win br no
r:llei from Congress in the matter of
the matter of the present high price of
