ions of the Texas Representatives on the subject
of free wool to which the men he represents are
strongly opposed II Is cTOrtcd that one or two
OF the Texas REPRESENTATIVES have begun already
to weaken IN their advocacy Of free WOOL and it is
said to be not improbable that they will vote
against the ropostion.

A CURIOUS BILL IN THR HOUSE
WASHINGTON. Jan. IS tSpecidb. - Benjamin
Augustine Enloe Is flower of Democratic states
manship sent to Washington to represent the
With Tennessee District in Congress Mr..
Enlos has distinguished himself by the intro
dncton Of several bills. One OF them is
TO Provide tor the location and erection In
Tennessee of branch home for disabled soldiers
of the late war; Federal and Confederate. and
other wars" The first section Of this bill directs
the Board of Managers of the National Soldiers
Home for disabled volunteer soldiers to estab-
lsh and MAINTAIN a branch home in the
State of Tennessee, and appropriates $l50.O0O 10
cary out the provisions of the act The second
section provides for the admission INTO the Home

" no are disabled by disease. wounds. other

nroyIded that the Board OF Managers NAV accept

az, known as The Hermitage. the late hcme of An

Probably IL any body should object to the sec

Confederate soldier because he was TOO young TO
enter the army when the war began.

CONsUES PATHETIC TALE.

MOVING APPEAL FOR A RAISE OF SALARY BY THE
AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVE AT MANILA
WASHINGTON. JAN & Special Secretary Fair
child has transmitted TO Cong ',ss n letter + the
Secretary OF State 10 closing pathetic communica-
ton from julius G. Voigt, consul at Manila, in re-
gard to the inadequacy of his salary and the allow
ance for consular clerk. In his letter he says on
the question Of salary:
In hired room and alcove, both furnished, down to
the bedding, out OF my own means. both boarding
and furnished lodgings unknown contrivances here
ana the street have TO live I'm Is full of Chinese, the
house choch full OF Indians. of the better class
Or course am thus compelled to shun society, and
never In these years have shown myself at any re-
habit Of doing yet am always treated deferentially,
though not ignorant that am looked upon especially
by spanards who do not understand the at all,
as an object of curiosity.
In another place he says:
You may imagine how dear living results here, when
China, etc. to very fast I'm this hothOuse climate
where the Thermometer rarely goes below so degrees
even at night
After noting that his duties are more onerous
calling the fact that the salary Of the Consul at
Singapore has been raised from $4,000 to SO, 800.
and stating that in his opinion the salary should
be sufficient TO enable its incumbent to hold up
his head among his fellows and TO lead the Life or
a gentleman" the consul adds:
To do so requires a little house, and rents. owing to
earthquakes are very with US, say 81 200 per
annum, to which add another like sum for furnis hing
and perhaps 81 600 for living expenses every year.
this climate necesstatng generous food, etc.-these
rates are cheap.
IT. appears that the British Consul at Manila re-
ceives full equivalent to $500 per annum, while
the German. French and Belgian COnsuls each re-
cciVes q sum equivalent to Sc, 600 per year.

by attempting to offer resolution providing that

so-caled, and all acts in force bearing upon the
question Of the right of the Government TO re-
deem its outstanding bearing obligations,
with the view to such steps as may be required
to ascertain the true status of the law on that
subject The preamble to the resolution recites
that certain sums have been paid out within the
bonds, and that the refunding act Of $40 has
been so altered and published without due authori-
ty in the statutes at large to read Payable at
the pleasure Of the United States after thirty
years. instead of " for thirty years" voted,
thus entirely subverting the manifest meaning Of
the provision of the act providing for the re-
demption of the per cent bonds.
The resolution required unanimous consent, and
Mr.. Plumb prevented by an objection from
Offering IL for immediate consideration.

Sickening Specimen of Humanity.

The degree of idiocy to which young man of low intelligence may attain, if his low in- telligence turns towards dress, was illus trated the other day on a New Yark and New Haven train. He was about q years of age, but of slight physiqOe, and he was adored by a large, fat and affectionate woman, who called him "Bertie." The makeup of Bertie would have done credit to a theatrical costumer. He ran to stripes. He wore O striped collar, the band of his hat was white and blue bars, his cravat was of similar pattern, and so were his hose, his handkerchief, and his shirt. His trousers were black and white stripes, and the coat blue and white.
 It would cause an immensity of detail to describe the different shades of the various collection of stripes, but, altogether, it was very unusual and startling arrangement. The young man wore his hair banged, and spent most of his time in arranging his bang with his bejeweled hand He was sicken- ing sSMcimen of mankind in one sense of the word, buta wonderful exhibition of what may be accomplished by devotion to an ideal on the other.-New York Sun.
