Chaplain Milburn's Prayer.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Although no mention Of Mr.. Davis name was
made the reference was unmistakable, and
some of the republican members frowned, as IL
in protest against the introduction Of such Q
topic into the congressional prayer. Certain
democratic members looked puzzled and gazed
inquiringly toward the press gallery as IL won-
dering what nature of comment would emsnate
from that quarter. Mr.. Milburn's adroit use of
the famous sentence Of Abraham Lincoln
CHARITY for all, malice for none"-csused an
immediate change OF expression upon many OF
the upturned congressional faces, and when

SON Of Prince August OF Saxe-Coburg, who
suffered greatly from chills and fever during
the voyage from Rio Janeiro to Lisbon, is again
Ill and suffering from fever.
The imperial family have not decided upon
a special policy but are watching developments.

HE OWNED THAT TRAIN,
A Lunatic with Revolver and Knife
Photographs the Brakeman.

The passengers on a Northern Pacific train
in Oregon few mornings ago had trip which
they are not likely to forget A mailman,
armed with a navy revolver and bowie knife,
had charge of the train for several hours.
After the train had left Portland a tall hand
some man, with pale complexion, dark
mustache and eyes, wearing q big sombrero,
long, yellow boots and pistol belt, which was
very conspicuous, jumped to his feet and be-
gan long harangue about insane asylums and
physicians. Then it became apparent that he
imagined he was in charge of the train. He
pulled out his revolver and his knife and
fourished them wildly while giving out his
crazy commands to the traInmen.
To Brakeman George II. Wensiey he seemed
to take an especial aversion because of a secret
order badge which the brakeman wore on his
vest He placed bis revolver at Wensley's back
and paraded him through the cars. Then he
would command him to halt and, saying In a
solemn tone You are guilty" would threaten
to shoot him il he moved muscle. Then
pulling small camera from his pocket he
would photograph the trembling brakeman,
saying he needed his picture for the ropues'
gallery. This he did twice.
At Umatilla Conductor Dunn telegraphed
the facts to Pendleton, and when tine train
reached there Sheriff Houser and Constable
Taylor met it. The lunatic was then ON the car
platform, with his revolver still pointed at
Brakeman Wensley. They jumped upon the
man, and as they did 30 he pulled the trigger,
but one Of the officers had bis finger under it
and this alone saved the brakeman's life. The
man became quite rational when he reached
the Jail and talked very seusibly. He said he
said he was cowboy. He had ticket to New
York,

was expressed in any quarter of her guilt or of her ultimate conviction on the charge of poisoning her husband
 Sir Charles Russell's admirable prepara- ton of her case has, however, completely revolutiopized public sentiment, and If his work produces upon the jury anything likc tho impression 1t has already made upon the public, Mrs. Mayhrich's conviction is out of tho question. 1t Is generally be- lieved that she will be acquitted, or, at tho worst, that the jury will fail to agree.
 Tho medical testimony introduced by the Crown is very weak and ls fur from SUD- porting the theory of the prosecution.

 Who Arc Worth Their Salt.
 Perhaps the demand for domestic servants is as generally unsatisfed in the North west as In any other section. have yet to Visit the happy, happy land where tho serVant-girl problem does not exist as the principal source of domestic gloom. but here 1t Is certainly to be found at its worst. It Is utterly impossible to keep O girl, ,says Montana correspondent of the New York Tribune. The female half of the popula- 2on, while large and growing, is still in 0 considerable measure the smaller half and young women of every degree are quoted st Tar moro than they would fetch east of the Alleghanies. This remark may not be gallant, and yet it ought to be valuable 10 such young women in the East as 1eei themselves unappreciated. The cases are counted in hundreds where a girl has entered family as 0 cook or chamber mad and thereafter renamed as daughter in-law. It is highly improbable to fetch girls from Eastern cities. If they are worth their salt they go on and get married often before they have earned the price of their railway fare. Servants wages are 100 per cent higher in Montana than in New York. The cooks on the railway din ing-cars receive t6O O month In private families S3O is the lowest wages offered, and some are paid as much as Sl0O
 The Rirl experiment is so generally un- satisfactory that many families employ negro men and Chinamen. The way to get Chinaman is to tell another Chinamau you want one He will spare you all the trouble and expense of dealing with an en- ployment agency. An officer at Fort Gus ter who had imported girl after girl only to have them come to him within a month or two and simper out that they were go- ing to get married, was at last advised by friend to procure mongolian. II have one," said the friend, "and he is perfect jewel. If you like, I'll tell him to find one for you" The officer gladly consented, and in the course of day or two, when his wife went to the kitchen to prepare dinner she found Chinaman, cue-ed and white vested, already at work among the pots and pans She cheerfully retired in his favor About week later, when the officer and his wife sat down to dinner, they observed that the heathen in attendance upon them was not the heathen who had besn serving them for tho past week, but an entirely new and different one. They also observed that the dinner before them was much superior to the dinners their late heathen had supplied. They presently inquired of their new heather what had become of their old one.
 "He no good" answered John. He some washee, but he no cookee. Wing Ting tolls him go and he say me come!"
 Wing Ting, it appeared, was tho heather belonging to their friend
