ney, and Rev. Mr.. Smedley, Meth
odist preacher, were coming down

the beat was capsized. Mr.. Miller
was taken from the water in an ex-
hausted condition and was thought to
be seriously injured. Mr.. Bing was
drowned. The party had been pros
pecting in the mountains fer mineral
lands. Latest advices are that Mr..
Miller is all right and able to attend
to business as usual.

The House Elections Committee
on Friday, decided to unseat Wise,
Democrat, of the Richmond (vir-
ginia) district, and Turpin, Demo-
crat, of the Fourth Alabama. In
the case of Wise, the Democrats of
the committee voted to remand the
question in dispute back to the voters,
holding that there was no fair cleo
ton, but the Republican majority
had determined to capture Wise's
seat, and they voted solidly. In the
Alabama case the vote was strictly
on party lines, and to make an APP
parent case for their man the Repub-
licans had to count every negro of
the district, even though he did not
vote as party voter.

TIE COSMOPOLITAN.

Professor Boyesen's novelette, in the
March Cosmopolitan, "a Candidate for
Divorce" has many realistic scenes from
a young ladies' boarding school, and
aims to show the calamitous results
from much of the prevailing feminine
education. 1t is strongly illustrated.
Two timely articles are "Easter in
Jerusalem" by Frank G.. Carpenter, and
"Browning's Place in Literature" by
Emily Shaw Forman. Captain Daniel
Morgan Taylor furnishes an interesting
article on "The Militia" and Col. Charles
Chaill6-Long gives a remarkable de-
scription of "The Desert" with several
striking engravings. Another traveller,
VIM. H. Glider, collects his observations
of "Signal Codes, Savage and Scientific"
"Berlin, the City of the KAISER" by Ma
'ry Stuart Smith, is the leading paper,
and 1.-The Evolution of the Gondola," by
Herbert Pierson, shows the transforma-
tions in that picturesque Venetian craft.
Salvina, the tragedian, gives glimpse
of his inner nature in a poem, "Behind
the Mask. Charles F. Lummis, the
Bret Harte of New Mexico, and Frances
Albert Doughty also contributes poems.
"Royal Authors" by one of the Astor
librarians, with thirteen portraits of lit
erary rulers, forms the department "In
the Library" and the editor begins in
this number new department entitled

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY p, 1880.
TUE hin of REPRESENTATIVE McComas

THE bill of Representative McComas,
which has been introduced in the House,
will certainly commend itself to every
unprejudiced mind as fair and much
needed measure. 1t provides that mem
bers of the Fifty second Congress shall
be chosen from the same districts as the
members of the present Congress, that
the State returning boards shall issue
the certificates of election, that, after
the census of this year is taken, the
congressional districts shall be arranged
to suit the demands of the new appor-
tionment, and such districts shall stand
unchanged until the next decennial
census. Its object is to abolish the
present plan of constant alteration de-
pendent upon the wishes of the party
having supremacy. Continued oscilla-
ton due to alternate party elevation
tends to propagate feeling of insta-
bility and lack of confidence in our gov
ernment. Rank partisanism which
turns everything topsy-turvy because il
has the power, does not strengthen gov
eminent, and such manifestations should
be curtailed and means to that end
should be fostered.

About Money Making.

No one who has any experience can
doubt that money is one of the great
practical forces of organized society
The poor boy who resolves to make
money is not necessarily mercenary in
his spirit or low in his aims. To gain a
foothold by the ownership of property is
simply one step on the road to success.
That gained. he has gained a great lever
Every energetic, aspiring American boy
may rightly and naturally look forward
to the accumulation of property. But to
wish for money, to seek it, or to use it in
a selfish, base spirit, to make it in itself
the first and most important object of life,
is contemplate and degraded manhood
Think about making money then; think
about it earnestly and with fixed deter
mination to do it; but think quite as
seriously of other and higher things to
be done.-COuntry Gentleman.

TattoOed Algerians.

In Algeria every girl born of native
parents is tattooed on her forehead be-
tween the eyebrows and just at the root
of the nose with cross formed of sew
eral straight lines of small stars running
close together. These tattoo marks are
dark blue color. Algerian women are
also considerably tattooed on the backs
of their hands, their forearms and chests,
as well as on their shoulders, their wrists
being especially adorned with drawings
representing bracelets and flowers strung
together. AS rule, women are the op-
orators, and it is principally on children
between the ages of I and 8 that they
have to exercise their art. They use
sometimes needle, but more frequently
Barbary fig tree thorn. They employ
kohl as coloring substance. 1t is a
kind of fine powder made from sulphur
of antimony, which is also in great re-
quest by the Algerian women for the
purpose of face painting. Chicago Her

A Duel of Politeness.

Old Judge Fernald, of Santa Barbara,
has the reputation of being the politest
man in California. He never loses an
opportunity to doff his hat or to offer
some slight attention to wayfaring men
and women. One day, as he was about
to take the train for San Francisco, he
reached the rear steps of the last car
just as they were approached by young
priest.
"After the CLOTH" said the chivalric
judge, stepping back with a courtly bow.
Gray hairs have the preference" re-
turned the priest, with splendid wave
of the hand
1.-THE church always has precedence" y"
retorted the judge, taking another back
ward step, hat in hand.
'The church follows in the footsteps
of the fathers" replied the priest, bow
ing low and indicating the way to the
steps.
The duel of politeness was not half
through, neither yielding an inch, when
the train pulled out, leaving both bow
ing and smiling on the platform.-San
Francisco Examiner.

Synopsis of Transactions in the National
Legislature.

LtSisidtures
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The senate, after g
breezy debate, agreed to the resolution calling
for information regarding the killing of Deputy
Marshal Saunders in Florida. Mr.. Pasco re-
sumed his remarks in regard to it and offered
an amendment which was, on motion of Mr..
Chandler, laid on the table and the resolution
calling on the attorney general for
information as to the assassination of
Saunders was agreed to. Educational
bill was taken up and Mr.. Blair closed his ar
gument in its favor. Mr.. Faulkner then OBJ
tanned the floor to speak on the bill.
In the house there was fixed intention on
the part of a number of southern Demo
Gratis to oppose the worlds fair bill. A
great many members participated in the
speech-making and were limited to one houI
each. Debate still going on at the time foI
adjournment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-In the senate large
amount of calendar business was disposed of
and the Oklahoma bill was taken up and dis
cussed at some length, but without result and
the bill went over until Monday. A number
of bills were passed increasing limits of cost
for public buildings, besides making appro-
priations for quite number of public build
ings. The bill to amend the copyright law
went over.
In the house the discussion of the worlds
fair bill came to close and made little i'm,
preston in the house, not single notable
speech having been delivered, Construction
lists of the south, led by Mr.. Mills, had theiI
innings in opposition to the fair. Opinion
still divided on the question of fair or no faiI

world the secrets of the executive session
The matter was under discussion yesterday
for some time and the old question of opening
the doors during the discussion of nominations
was debated at length. Several senators are
known to be strongly in favor of open execu
tive sessions. Educational bill discussed at
some length.
Excepting few moments occupied in ad.
ministering the oath of office to John E. Rey.

entire session in settling the question of the
proposed site for the worlds fair. Eight bal.
lots were taken and on the last ballot Chicago
secured l57 votes and the prize.

THE Russian authorities neither ad-
NIT nor deny the reports of the recent
outrages in Siberia, and their muteness
is construed as a virtual acknowledge
ment of the substantial truth of the
matter That such an infamous and
barbarous outrage as stripping and fog
ging a woman should be perpetrated in
this age seems almost beyond the pale
of credence, yet the despotism of Rus
sia, where the power of each officer is
absolute in his prescribed province, is
capable of Just such acts. The fate of
Russia as an empire is already decreed
when such outrages are committed. The
prisons and the wantOn cruelties there
inflicted are travesty upon civilization,
and no punishment is too severe for the
offenders. Such cruelties will surely
hasten the day of full and constitu-
tional government for Russia.

REV. JOSEPH Cook in a lecture ,ex-
presses the belief that the rules of the
Houseare just what was needed long ago.
He says they are in sense revolution
AIRY but any material innovation is revo-
lutionary. They are constitutional and
in accord with the rules of foreign par
liamentary bodies. Such rules ought to
be made which will suppress the minor
ity in obstructive tactics when twenty
seven of that minority are from dis
tricts in which it is notorious that there
is Republican majority. Southerners
have threatened to deadlock Congress
for a year, but under the rules that will
be impossible.

HE DOUBLE eAeY DEAD.
Measles and Congestion of the Lung,
Carry OF Pearl and Ruby.

BUFFALO. Feb. 22.-The two-headed
baby. which has been on exhibition here
for two weeks, is dead. Shortly after II
O'Clock Wednesday night one-half died
while the other lived till yesterday
morning. This double baby consisted OF
two girls, each separate and distinct in
anatomy, but joined with an osseous
union in the peivis. Two weeks ago the
baby was taken suddenly i'll with
measles, the disease soon changed to con-
gestion of the lungs, and despite the ef
forts of council of able physicians, the
wonderful phenomenon grew worse.
One of the babies was named Pear
and the other was called Ruby. They
were born at Upton. small village not
far from Indianapolis, on June "a, 1889.
The human curiosity attracted so much
attention that the parents decided to ex-
hibit it, and they have Travelled with the
child, or children. for over six months.

BISHOP WIGGER, of the Newark, n. j.,
Catholic diocese, has issued his ukase
commanding the members of his church
to take their children from the public
schools and send them to the parochial
schools. 1t followed that unless this
command was complied with the DISC
bedient parents would be denied absolu-
ton and other services supposed to be
of great Importance to the repose of the
soul in the great hereafter. But the
Catholics of Newark do not seem to
stand in very great fear of the Bishops
threats, and they have generally failed
to recognize his authority. A week
after the appearance of his bull there
were about as many Catholic children in
the public schools as before, Catholic
parents having insisted upon the right
to send their children for educational
purposes wherever they thought best.

THE Democratic hosts at Columbus
are not to calmly glide on the bosom of
a quiet river in the redistricting PROPOSE
tion unless the declared purposes of
some of its members can be counted for
naught. Senator Brown says the gerry
Wandering bill can not go through un-
less the Owen law is repealed, while Sen
ator Pattison says it can not go through
if the Owen law is repealed. Senator
Pattison is said to have well grounded
views on the temperance question, and
that his conscience, a Democratic rarity,
will not permit him to directly lend his
aid toward boosting the liquor element
in Ohio. In this case the Democrats are
between the devil and the sea, and unless
Pattison's conscience proves elastic, both
gerrymander and the repeal of the Owen
law must fail-a sad day for the aspiring
statesmen and thirsty ''heelers" of the
great reform (?) party.

rent Saturday morning to the effect that

pany's property is under contract of sale
to an English syndicate for $4,000, 900,
and that Walter Potter, of Potter,
Lovel & Co., of Boston, has sailed for
England to consummate it. John B.
Sherman, vice president and general
manager of the company, said to re-
porter: 81 am probably the largest
owner of the company's stock in the
west and know nothing whatever about
any such transaction as is alleged. No
person has either bought my stock or
even asked me to name a price at which
l would SELL" Phil Armour said the re-
port was pure bosh.

B. e. o. SCHEME.
New Railroad to Reduce the Distance from
Pittsburg to Chicago.

New Railroad to Reduce the Distance from
Pittsburg to Chicago.
FINDLAY, Feb. 25.-The formation of
company for the building of railroad
from Akron to Chicago junction is rec
ognized as Baltimore and Ohio scheme
to reduce the distance between Pittsburg
and Chicago fully sixty miles and the
time not less than two hours. The fact
that the Baltimore and Ohio already con-
trolls line from Pittsburg to Akron
lends color to this conclusion, as the
building of the road from Akron to
Chicago junction would complete an i'm
portant and necessary link in line that
would give that road an air route from
Pittsburg to Chicago, and practically a
direct route from Washington and Balti-
more to Chicago.
