SHORT SPEECHES.

The last days of debate in the senate on
the silver bill were occupied with many short
speeches: amounting to but little, but max
ing personal records. The house bill, as
amended by the seuate finance committee,
was substituted for the senate bill, and is the
bill that will be voted upon finally.

Why the Trains Wait.

It has probably puzzled many trav- eler, who fitting impatiently in a train has waited for the draw of a bridge to close which has been opened to allow some snaillike boat to creep up tho current, why the rapidly moving train was not given the precedence, as it could swiftly hurry away. It Is not due to the excuse that the boat cannot hold itself against the stream, for it can and does do this frequently. It is simply the application of the old com mon law principle of easement. The boats had the use of navigable streams long before railroads were invented, and when the latter bridged rivers they did so subject to the formers interest therein, and for this reason railroad trains are today obliged to stand back while the boats pass ahead. All mod ern conditions would indicate that the locomotive should have precedence of the steamer, and the fact that it does not shows the tenacious grip of custom.

Cleaning oil l8arrels.

 The question is asked if coal oil bar rels can be cleaned for meat. A friendly farmer writes to The Mining and Sci. entif1c News: II have used them for fifteen years with perfect success. Knock out the head, set fire to Q pieoe of paper and put it in the barrel The fire will burn with loud roar. Roll the barrel round so it will burn out even, and when it is burned one-eighth of an inch deep turn in about pint o4 coal oil, roll around until it is spread, all over the inside, then fro again Scrape of most of the charcoal and wash it out. It is not necessary to burn over one-eighth inch deep. will guar. antee there will never be the slightest taste of coal oil in the meat. I have. used these barrels for ham, pork, beef, lard and honey. Old, musty or tainted barrels I treat in the same way by using . pint or so of oil. Have treated lin. sssd ol baxtsls the sanls way."

 The view is like that of Tennessee and North Carolina from the top of Lookout mountain, or like that of Yer mont and New Hampshire from the top of Mount Washington. Hail hills of Galilee! Hail Lake Gennesaret. only four miles away! Wonder, clear up and most conspicuous, is Safed, the very city to which Christ pointed for illustration in the sermon preached here, saying "A city set on hill can not be hid" There are rocks around me on this Mount of Beatitudes enough to build the highest pulpit the world ever saw. And it is the highest pulpit. It overlooks all time and all eternity. The valley of Hattin between here and Lake Galilee is an amphitheatre; as though the Datural contour of the earth had invited all nations to como and sit down and hear Christ preach . sermon, in which there were more startling novelties than were ever an nounced in all the sermons that were ever preached. .' n.y.
 To those who heard him on this very spot, his word must have seemed the contradiction of everything that they had ever heard or read or experienced. The worlds theory had been: Blessed are the arrogant; blessed are tho su- percilious; blessed are the tearlses;, blessed are they that have everything their own way; blessed are the war eagles; blessed are the persecutors; blessed are the popular; blessed are the Herods and the Caesars and the Ahabs. "No! no! mol" says Christ, with voice that rings over these rocks, and through yonder valley of Hattin, and down to the opaline lake on one side, and the sapphire Med iterranean on the other, and across Europe in one way, aad across Asia in the other way, and around the earth both ways, till the globe shall yet bs girdled with a the nine beatitudes:, !, Blessed are the poor, blessed, are the mournful, blessed are the meek, blessed are the hungry, blessed are the merci- ful, blessed are the pure, blessed are the peacemakers, blessed are the perse cuted, blessed are the falsely reviled.

A bright Dog Nlsndicant.

Everybody in Burlington N. J., is intimately acquainted with George w. Fireng's dog "Don," small stat ured brown and white spaniel, with slight defect in one eye. ltp5tl" .tstt
 "Don" is one of the worst and most persistent mendicants in the county. Let customer walk into Fireng's cigar store and the dog is at him quickly unless ordered to his corner back of the stove. Sitting upright on his hind legs, he gently reaches out one paw and taps the customer ia miliarly. 3s
 Most all the men have learned what that means, and few of them fail to re- spond. A penny is placed in paper bag and "Don" seizes it between his teeth. The door is opened for him and off he trots to the bakery just above. !
 His scratch on the door is familiar and he quickly gains entrance. The bag is taken from his mouth, cake placed within it, and off the dog trots complacently to his corner in tEey store, where he patiently awaits his master.
 A piece of cake is broken off, and "Don" catches it ip his mouth Eke professional. 5o} Wi
 Put your paw on that piece,' says the master, as another is broken off.
 Down goes the paw on the delicate morsel, and without q sign of impa- tience it is kept there until the words ''au right now' come from the mas ter.
 s'This piece is poison," says Fireng, as he places another fragment close to the dogs nose: "dont eat it." Tho animal backs off and eyes it askance. till the words ''all right" are again given, when he snaps it up greedily. Never has Don opened the bag to get the cake without his masters permis- sion, and never has he attempted to keep cake and penny too.-Philadel- phia Record.

Every evening there are from ten to fifty travelling men in the house who want to go come where, and the first thing they do is to go and ask the clerk what is the best attraction at the theatres, or if there is anything else going on in the city. In this way the clerk practically decides where the strangers will go. It is GUS tomary in almost all cities for the hotel cler} to have admission to the base ball arkA Milwaukee Sentinel

MisuAderstood.

Congressman Allen turned up in the house with fresh story, says Amos J. Cummings. He had heard it in New York. It was concerning friend of Gen. Spinola. Years ago the genera, met Mark Mcguire and John Morrissey. Wishing to compliment Morissey the general said tosNark: 1G@EAAN
 'Ah, Isee you have the Cromwell of America with you." ,st3f's'''%
 Morissey was highly indignant. He doubled his fist, and turning to Mark Mcguire said: "What does this splinter meant I've a notion to lamm him."
 "Hold on," Mark shouted. He means that you're the greatest man in America. :" aa,.s
 ''I suppose so, when he is out of it, !" Morrissey growled. t...s
 The general never forgot the remark. Whenever he met Morrissey afterward he saluted him with all the honors, but not as the Cromwell of America.
