Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Hercafter Ore
gon's two Senators win not work together
on at least one important question. Dur
ing the delivery of a silver speech, this after
noon, Senator Dolph repudIated the resolu-
tion reported recently by the Oregon Re-
publican State central committee in favor
of free silver coinage, and put himself on
record against it. Senator Mitchell imme-
diately arose and declared himself in favor
of not only free coinage of silver. but of
making it and certificates representing it q
full legal tender He eulogized the Repub,
hcan convention of his State as body and
indorsed its action. Senator Mitchell will
come up for reelection before the Legisla-
ture this winter. The proceeding this aft

A CHILD'S ELOQUENCE.

A sweet little girl named Sarah
had been to church and went home
full of what she had seen and heard.
Sitting at the table with the family
she asked her father, who had been
to church, but who was very wicked
man, whether he had ever prayed,
He did not like the question, and in
a very angry manner replied.
"Is it your mother or Aunt Sal
ly that put you up to that. my
little girl?"
'NO, papa" said the little crea-
ture; "the preacher said, All good
people pray, and those who do not
pray are not going to heaven. Pa,
do you pray?"
This was more than he could
stand, so he roughly said:
"Well you and your mother and
your Aunt Sally may 60 your way
and will go mine"
(Which way are you going, paa"
she asked with simplicity.
The question so affected him that
he soon become converted, and al.
ways attributed his salvation to his

PRETTY FINE WRITING.

Up in q book.dealer's place IN
Broadway, not far from Eighth
Street, curiosity seekers and men
who can afford to indulge their love
for queer manuscripts, can find, per-
haps, the strangest bit of writing
known. On piece of parchment
ike paper, five feet wide and six
feet, five inches high are written all
the books of the Old Testament,
forming the design of q window IN
King Solomon's Temple. No lines
are used. Written words form the
whole design. The writing is very
minute. but legible to the naked eyes.
Ink of three colors was used, but
principally black ink. 1t is very
intricate piece of work. marvellous
in it's way, and must have taken
considerable time and patience.
The work was executed by one
David Davidson, apparently in a
mood of religious fervor. He was
blind of an eye, and his manner of
writing was to lie at full length on
the floor, on his stomach, with his
eye he was very near-sighted very
close to the paper. He died some
twenty years ago. Each chapter and
verse is numbered. The writing is
not running script, bua each letter is
separate, nor are the letters much, il
any, larger than a thirty .secohd vi
an inch high. The work is for sale,
but a high price is upon it. Neu
