ITS AUTHOR HIGHLY INDIGNANT

He Charges Mir. Mills, Speaker Carlisle
 and Others with Sly Filibustering-A1
 Amusing Game of Strategy Between
 Mills and RandaSI-Other Capital News.
 WASHINGTON, March 1-Mr CowleS, au thor of the bill to repeal the tax on tobacco is very indig Hant at the obstructive tactics employed by certain Democrats to prevent vote on his bill. Il desire, said he, "toplace the responsibility where it belongs. Ever since the bili was introduced obstructive tao tics have been employed to prevent it's consid, eration. The bill would pass by seventy ma jority or over if st vote could be had. ThE has been demonstrated
 But Mr. Mi Is, Mir. McAfillan, the two BreckinrIdge; and Speaker Carlisle have worked night and day to put distractions Ill its way. For the past four days they have encouraged all motions and measures to con sume tim,: have put mn forward to talk against time; have talked the nselves to con- sume time to stave off my measure. The people shoul,l know that while they pretend to want tine tobacco tax re- pealed they are coveruly doing all in their power to prevent it from coming to a vote. They lear gong OH u' ihey nave not been very prominent in obstructive tao tics, as then their op,o ohit!on would be too ap parent for their i"phi'. huo secretly, on the floor and of, thiy have u,ed all their efforts to prevent It from being even considered Speaker Carlisle has aidei and abetted them at every step. fine last six days of congress are suspension days. He keeps q list of mem- bers who move to take up any measure they want Two North Caro.lna members were near the top of inc list For tear of them would move to take up my bill and pass 1t under suspension of the rules, Eo has paced their names away down in the list, so that they will never be reached this session. With two-thirds of the house in favor of my bill, with assurances that the senate will pass it as soon as it reaches them, and that it would be- come law within twenty-four hours but for the obstructive tactics of the men I've named, it does seem to me that the people of North Carolina and the country should know who are in the way of its passage"
 It is amusing to watch the actions in the house of Messrs. Randall and Mills. They remain ill their seats constantly, each eyeing the other and keeping him from taking any advantage to call up the Cowles free tobacco bill Neither leaves his seat for luncheon except for few minutes. At one time yes terday there was nothing before the house and feint was made by member, who, il was believed, intended to call up the Cowle: bill Both Randall and Mills sprang to theil feet and looked at each other savagely, anC then sat down.

The Kind of a WIFE Wansed.

men as to the kind of wife wanted re-

making qualities are more valaed than
anything else. Money is secuted. No
body wants money, ana few care for the
qualities and accomplishments, young la
dies pride themselves most upon. A sweet
temper, little beauty, quiet tastes, ability
to fix up an old bonaet the twentieth time
these constitute the charra, that makes
the average yourg capitalists heart go

why Judas Had 10 Go.

Judas has been officially abolished in
the Island of Madeira. 1t has been time
honored custom of the natives to exhibit
in one Of their numerous religious process
sions an efigy Of Judas, upon which the
opprobrium of the populace was duly
heaped, and at the close of the day Judas
was burned with vociferous expressions of
triumph and joy. OF late years Il has
happened that the efiigy of Judas has
borne striking resemblance to some per
son upon, whom the general public had
ceased to smile, and thus the Governor of
the island, the Mayor of Funchal and
foreign Consul have been caricatuEed in
the professions and burned in effigy- The
