Representative Springer has been
working very hard to get his Okla.
homa bill passed. 1t WAS before the
House several times last week, but
a vote was not reached. Mr.. Spring
cr is very sanguin of its passage.
He says the only real opposition to
the bill comes from the Cherokee
Live Stock association, a syndicate
of white men, who lease 5000, 900
acres Of land from the Cherokees at
100000 per annum. Mr.. Springer
says the passage Of this bill would
be followed by one of the most re.
markable phenomena that colonial.
ton or civalization has ever known.
In less than six months the terrific
ry would be qualified by population
to become state, and, with a sly
wink, two thirds of them would be
democrats.
Mr.. Mills is still getting an av-
erage of about fifty letters a day
asking for copies Of his speech on
the tariff.
The House bill to create be cards of
arbitration to settle the differences
between railroads and their employ
es, has been reported favorably to
the Senate.
The effort made by the labor men
to have the use Of the steam plate
printing machines prohibited IN the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
was defeated in the Senate.
Mr.. Cleveland left here last Thurs
day tor short catching trip. Mrs.
Cleveland and her mother accompa.
MED him as far as New York. Mr..
Cleveland is expected back here to-
morrow. notwithstanding the fact
this is the only holiday that Mr.. G.
has taken during the whole summer,
the republicans are trying to raise
a howl over his alleged neglect of
public business.
Commissioner Stockslagcr has no.
tilted the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco railroad Co., to show cause
within 30 days, why proceedings
should not be taken in accordance
with the act of March 3, 1887, to Sc.
cure the restoration Of N,S27 acres
OF land, alledged to have been cr-
roneously patented to the Atlantic
and Pacific Go. The land referred
to is in Missouri.
The House committee on agrl.
culture has favorably reported the
Lee bill to prevent the sale, manu-
facturc, or transportation of sdulter-
ated articles OF food, drink or drugs,
and the bill regulating the manuiac.
ture Of compound lard.
Now that the republican Senators,
after much wrangling, have agreed
to report substitute for the Mills
tariff bill, they are having a regular
monkey and parrot time to get up a
bill that all OF them will vote for.
Chief Justice Fuller has been in
the city several days. 1t was his
intention to have gone back home
the next day after his arrival, but as
he came to see Mr.. Cleveland, he
concluded to remain until the Pres.
ident returned. lie has been the
recipient Of many social attentions.
The fortifcation bill has been re.
ported to the House. 1t provides
for Board Of defense, composed OF
three civilians and three army
officers, and appropriates sl5.OO0,-
GOO to be spent in the next six years
for heavy ordnance.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate to pension every man who
served three months in the United
States Army or Navy, in the late
war.

HIGHLAND MARY.
Her True and Faithful Story Told at Last.
Exchange.

Her True ana Faithful story Told at Last.
Exchange
Mary Campbell, a Highland girl from
the neighborhood of Dunoon on-the-
Clyde, "a most sprightly, blue-eye crea
ture, of great modesty and self-respect,"
had been in the service of his friend,
Gavin Hamilton, and was still in the
neighborhood of Meuchline when that
unfortunate affair with Jean was setting
the village in blaze; and in administer
ing comfort TO the widowed heart of the
Robert who had lost his Jean she pre-
sented him, as more than worthy surro-
gate for his loss, with Mary, her beauti-
full self; and this Mary had so much faith
in the unfortunate young farmer that
she agreed to plight herself to him for
life, and follow him to the Indies, or
wheresoever his broken fortunes might
lead him.
1t was agreed between them that she
should give up her place, go to the
Highlands, where her father was q sailor
in Campbeilton, and arrange matters
there for her formal union with the poet.
The poetical union had already been
completed in a most sentimental and
pious fashion. On the banks of the Ayr,
or in the adjoining valley OF the faHe,
the lovers had a meeting the second Sun
4ay in MAY, 1856, where they made the
most solemn vows of faithful adherence.
Standing on each side of slow-runnlng
brooklst and holding q Bible between
them, the two swore themselves to be
one till death.
Mary presented her lover with plain
small Bible in one volume, while Burns
responded with a more dainty one IN two
volumes. The day of this solemn act OF
devout rehabilitation was the last time
that Burns saw his Highland Mary. NO
wonder that it remained in his soul tor
life picture of pure affection more sae'
red than any with which his large eN
perieuce of female favors had furnished
him. Mary Campbell, after visiting her
pqrepts. was returning TO Glasgow, Sh
stopping on the road at Greenock TO at
tend sick brother, she caught fever
from him and died.
