The Tariff Debate.

The general debate on the tariff bill will
end one week from yesterday instead OF on

ways and means accordingly agreed this
morning to extend the time. Under this ar
rangement Mckinley and Breckenridge of
Kentucky will speak on Friday next, and
Reed and Speaker Carlisle on Saturday
Randall has not as yet signifed his intention
to speak, but, as he is in position just now
which needs to be explained it is believed
that he will ask for an hour or two next
week.

Justice to a MaIne Veteran.

An act of Congress to exempt the case of
Thomas S. Hopkins of Maine, now resi-
dent of Washington, from the limitations
presented in the pension arrearges law, so
that he may be entitled to arrearages, has
just become law without the Presidents s
approval. In the last Congress bill to this
effect was passed, and the President vetoed
it. Senator Frye advocated the passage of
the bill over the veto, and stated that Hop
kins, when young man, entered the army.
He contracted disease that broke him down,
and Tor some years after the war held posi-
ti0n in the Treasury here. He was suddenly
stricken while on the streets with some form
of paralysis, and for more than two years
was incapable of speech or motion. He was
not able to even hold pen to sign his name
for pension arrears, and thus he lost it. At
this session the bill was again introduced
and passed, and the Presiden. permitted it
to become law, though he would not ap-
prove it, Mr.. Hopkins is an incurable .inva-
lid and resides in this city and the passage
of the act will allow him several thousand
dollars as arrears Of pensions.
Appropriations for Maine Waters.
The Senate committee on commerce began
consideration of the river and harbor bill
yesterday. The first items in the bill are for
the Improvement of the Maine rivers and
harbors. The committee increased the APP
preparation for Portland Harbor from $25,-
900, the amount fixed by the House, to $40,
900. The appropriation for Back Cove is in
creased from $4,000 to $3.50 An item of
$4,000 is inserted in the bill by the Senate
committee for commencing the construction
of a breakwater at Mt. Desert. The appro-
priati0n for the Kennebec, which was fixed
by the House at $4,000, was increased by
the Senate committee on motion of Senator
Frye, to 100000. The latter amount corre-
spends with the engineers estimate for
the next fiscal year and is sufficient to COM
mence the project which will render the river
easily navigable. The appropriation for the
Penobscot river is increased from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The other items for Maine improvements
remain as fixed by the House, the appropria-
tions being deemed sufficsent for the work
contemplated An item for surveys of Mon
hogan Island harbor and the Ledomac river
at Waldoboro, with view to their improvr-
ment, is inserted in the bill by the Senate
committee.

said James, with black frown, as he
put down his book and rose up from

"Just the way with meY'

"Well, dear, will do 1t myself"
"Yes, and tell everybody, your

So he marked the place III the book
at which he had ceased reading and
when he went down to the cellar.

the volume and found 1t was a love

been absorbed in was as follows: my

The Two Mysteries.

We know not what it is, dear. this sleep so
deep ard still,
The folded hands, the awful calm, the
cheek so pSle and chill.
The lids that will not lift again, though we
may call and call
The strange white solitude of peace that
settles over all.
We know not what it means, dear. this de-
solate heart-pain,
The dread to take oar daily way and walk
IN IL again.
We know not to what sphere the loved who
leave Us go,
Nor why were left to wonder still, nor
why we do not know.
But this we know; our loved and lost, II
they should come this day,
Should come and ask US, What Is Life?
not one of US could saw
Life is mystery as deep rs death can ever
be;
Yet oh, how sweet it is to US, this life we
live and seel
Then might they say, those vanished ones,
and blessed Is the thought,
SO death Is sweet 10 uS, beloved, though we
may tell You naught;
We may not tell 1t to the quick, this mys-
terry OF death;
Ye may not tell it If ye would, the mystery
Of breath
The child who enters life comes not with
knowledge or intent,
SO those who enter death must go as little
children sent;
Nothing is known, but I believe that God
il ov -rhead;
And ~ life il 70 the living so death is 70
the dead.

Fccundity OF Fishes.

Fishes produce so many eggs that If
7ast numbers of the latter and OF the
fishes themselves were not continual! !y
destroyed, these animals would finally
fill up all the waters. For example,
man annually takes 1900, 900 or TO-
OOU, 900 Goldfish from the sea around the
shores Of Newfoundland. But even
that quantity seems small when we
consider that each cod yields about
10. .OO0, 900 eggs each season. and that
5000. 900 have been found in the roe of
single cod. Were the &C, 600, 0O0 cod
taken on the coast of Newt, midland
left to breed, the 30, ,0OO,00 females
producing 5000. 900 eggs every year, 1t
would give a yearly addition of 150, :
000, 700 QUO, ,00O young Goldfish. Other
fish, though not equalIng the cod, are
wonderfully productive. a herring
weighing six or seven ounces is provi-
ded with about $1,000 eggs. After
making all reasonable allowances for
the destruction OF eggs and the young,
IL has been calculated that in three
years a single pair of herrings would
produce 154 600, coo. Button calcula-
ted that If pair of herrings could be
left to breed and multiply undisturhed.
for period of fLwenty-years, they would
yield All amount of fish equal in bulk TO
the globe on which we live.

The Story of William Tell.

The Old story of William Tell, bis
son and the apple has sequel in BoS-
ton that threatens to end tragically.
The actors ars Sumner Hollander, aged
l3 years, of Somerville, the son OF a
prominent business man of that city,
and his cousin of IL years, also named
Hollander. The elder boy had a pistol
of small calibre and some cartridges.
He extracted, or thought he did, the
bullets fIom some OF the cartridges.
Recently the boys undertook to repro
duce the ancient Swiss drama. Sum
ner took the part of William Tell and
the younger boy that of the son. with
the apple. The pistol they thought
would much better answer the purpose
than a bow and arrow. Wnen the
smaller lad had taken position he was
fortunately stricken with sudden mis-
glvings. he turned his head to one
side, with the exclamation, suppose
there should be something in it," Just
as his cousin fired. The movement
saved the little fellow instant death, for
a bullet struck him on the right side of
the neck. The wound was serious,
and the boys condition has become
steadily worse, until now his life Is

Easter Egg Parties

Have you ever attended an Easter
egg party? No? Then you are uRae-
quainted with one of the most delight.
full of social enjoy yments peculiar to this
season. For party of young people,
the hostess has prepared large basket
full of beautifully dyed and decorated
eggs, from which one present draws.
The couples are assorted for the even
Ing through the correspondence of the
eggs. Not until midnight are the shells
opened. when much interest and amuse-
ment is manifested over the notices
and tiny souvenirs found within.
Many artistic souvenirs can be pre-
pared by an arrangement of pressed
flowers and grasses upon plain gilt
edge cards. Fanciful designs may be
traced, and where the flowers are faded.
they may be restored to their original
color by the touch of the paint brush.
Such cards are considered much more
original just now than either the pain

The Very Essence of the World.

''Men will praise thee when thou
doest well to thyself." Politics, relIg-
ion and social life, as they generally
exist, are all animated with this same
principal; everybody expects, as Is ex-
pected, to do the best for himself.
Children are educated to look after
their own interests; men GO into busi-
ness to secure fortune for themselves:
people build a church or a mission to
secure the interests OF the denomina-
ton to which they belong; nations go
to war in order 10 exalt themselves, OF
to attain territory, or commercial ad-
vaDtages for themselves. Again. men
enter into an argument to prove them
selUes in the right; they play a game to
show their skill; they furnish house to
secure the,r comfort; they pray to God
to ease their conscience; and, from first
TO last, self is the object of all. In
little country town, the squire cannot
dine with the merchant, nor the mer-
chant with the shopkeeper. nor the
sbopkeeper with the dressmaker nor
the dressmaker with the servant, nor
the servant with the sea; ;npger. because
self would be supposed 81 lose somo Of
Its contemptible superlo3y.

came, in a common lodging house at an
altitude of seven stories. Fearing he
could not induce the public to come SO
high, he put up placard on TIE base
ment of the house: "PortraiLs taken
here. Only ten francs. Studio on
third floor" On reaching the third
floor a placard, Ten franc portraits;
the studio has been remoN ed to the fifth
floor" would greet the eye. After
much painting and putting the picture
seeker was greeted with Ten franc
portraits; the studio has, owing 10 re-
building of the premises, been tempor-
arily removed TO the seventh floor."
The customer did not mind suffering
more after he had reached that period
of ascent, and the artist got his patron.

\ Sensible Custom.

One OF the sensible customs that the
Anglomaniac is to be credited with in
PRODUCING is that of turning up the
bottoms of the trousers in stormy aud
muddy weather, which isnow becoming
coDspicuously general, whereas for
merly only a few independent pedes-
trians slightly rolled up the rear side,
and thereby spoiled the set of the
spring. The English style of rolling up
the trousers all round, above the bor-
der seam does not in the least affect the
spring set and keeps the edges clean.
