A BAG OF DOODLE LOST.
The Boy Who Found it and His Boss
Handsomely Rewarded.

The Boy Who Found it and His Boss
Handsomely Rewarded.
CHICAGO, Nov. Icy esterday afternoon
as Messenger Austin of the Prairie State
National Bank returned from the postoffice
he discoved that sachel containing several
thousand dollars in currency and clearing
house checks for $S7 900 had mysteriously
disappeared from his buggy. The sachel was
lost between the postoffice and bank. Mes
senger Austin became frantic, and rushing
into the bank told the officials of his loss
The police were Immediately notified, and
soon a dozen officers were out searching for
the missing sachel. The messenger and an
official of the bank jumped into the buggy
and traversed the route that had been taken
from the postotfice, but without finding the
missing sachel
FOUND BY A BOY.
A little boy, who runs errands for a
tailor, found the sachel two minutes after
it had fallen out of the buggy. He shouted
to the driver TO stop, but his cries were not
heard. the boy carried the sachel to his
employers shop, where it was opened.
When he saw the rolls of greenback he
nearly tainted. From papers in the valise
the tailor discovered its ownership.
TOOK 1T TO THE BANK.
He put put on his coat and hat and has
tened to the bank. When he walked into
the bank with the sachel in his hand the
clerks rushed at him as though he was a
a long lost brother. There was rejoicing all
round, and the the tailor was rewarded
handsomely for his honesty. The lad who
found the sachel was not forgotten by the
bank people.
SUSPICION OF ROBBERY.
The above is practically the story as told
by George Vanzandt, vice president of the
bank. At another source. however, it was
said that instead of the money being lost
from the, buggy it was stolen. The vice
president STATED emphaticallY that it was
not theft. His refusal to give the names
of the boy who found the sachel and his
employer lends credibility TO the report
that IL was a rohhery

A pension deficiency for the cur
rent fiscal year of 1850 900 has
been reported to the House of Re-
presentatives by the Secretary of the
Treasury. The pension appropria-
tioi bill for the next fiscal year, as
passed by the House, carries more
than S133, ,O0O, 900, and it is generally
believed that it is less hy froni forty
to seventy millions of dollars than

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The Influence OF the Alliance
Financial Reform the Qaestion
Before Congress.
+ Irregular Correspondence. I
WASHINGTON, d. c., |

WASHING TON, d. c., Dec. 10.
Questions affecting the financial
condition of the country are at pre-
sent abSLl ing almost the entire at
tentioE Of Congress, and the admin
istration has at last become convinc-
ed that something must be done. The
fact of the matter is that at least
three-fifths of Congress, irrespective
of party, have become converted to
tneeideas of the Farmers Alliance,
as far as financial matters are con-
cerned.
There is an evident desire on the
part of the administration to pre-
vent the adoption of free coinage
bill by Cngress, by Offering some
thing in the place Of it, in fact seye-
raj something's; but no measure will
be accepted as a substitute for free
coinage by the silver men, who are
fully aware of their strength in Con-
gresS.
The app lrtionate bill which .he
Ce'isus committee of the House has
reported places the membership Of
the House at 800.
Mr.. Wanamaker most positively
denies the rumor, which was given
fresh start this week. that he is
abput to fail.
The Conger lard bill, whith was
condemned by the recent Farmers
Alliance convention, has been re-
ported to the Senate by the Agricul-
tural committ, @ without recommen-
dations. The Paddock Pure Food
bill will be offered as substitute for
it, and it is thought that the 81 nate
will adopt it.
The Republicans of the Senate
Finance committee are working on
a financial measure, which is to be
reported to epublican caucus this
week.
The principal demands of the
Farmers AlliaIce-Tariff reform
and financial reform have long
long formed the foundation stones OF
sound Democratic doctrines, and the
Alliance will find its natural ally il
the Democratic party, just as it has
already found its natural opponent
in The Republical party. 1t is wei
TO keep these facts in mind when dis
cussing the political future.

Something for Old Maids.

Undoubtedly marriage is the natural
and appropriate condition of wyman.
She wants and needs husband to love,
and children to love, and home to be
attached to, as a female bird requires a
nest full of eggs or of young, and q
proud and faithful mate on contig-
nous branch of tree 10 render her COM
pletely happy.
Nor can it be denied that many old
maids are sour-sour is their disposition,
as pickles fresh from the strongest vim
egar.
Probably it is because they have SO
little 10 do-ratEer, we should say,
owing to the want of sufficient duties on
which TO expend all their vigor and
force. They do secm, and it may as
well be admitted, TO take to scandal
somewhat as ducks take to water, yet
we look upon that as minor point in
considering their character and utility.
We do doubt very much whether the
world would be as well off If there were
not old maids in it. In their bosoms
dwell some of the most benevolent hearts
in the world.
Was not Florence Nightingale an old
maid? What married woman ever did
as much. not only for the good Of the
soldiers of England, but for the i'm
proyement of the world, as she?
And yet, il she had had stalwart
husband, luxurious home and house
full of babies, who would ever have
heard of her outside of the walls Of her
own home, or, at most, the limits Of her
own visiting circles-New York Ledger

PURELY SELFISH MOTIVES"

A correspondent of the Landmark
affects to champion the cause of mo-
nopolistic autocracy in an article OPP
posing commission. He mistakes
ridicule, irony and spleen for argu-
ment and facts. The only thing that
surprises us about the matter is that
level-headed Joe Caldwell published
such ali article. The writer says:
"The bill before the last Legisla-
ture should BIZ entitled IAN Act En-
titled an Act to Create a Railway
Commission, tor the purpose of Rob-
bing the Railways of Their Rights,
Stopping their Construction and
Thereby Obstructing the Material
Development OF the State.'"
Further on the writer says:
"It had never occurred to Us until
quite recently how we had been OPP
pressed ami robbed. / had formed
the idea in my callow youth that
railways were an absolute necessity
to the development and prosperity
of the country. / thought that the
corporations owning them would
from purely selfish motives so adjust
their rates and so manage the busi-
ness of the roads as to conduce to
the general good and prosperity of
the country, knowing that by so do
ing they did but work to their own
advantage. For when times are
prosperous or when revulsions come,
the railways will in a direct ratio
share the prosperity or the losses. -
This is convincing logic. We now
see how the people of this country
have been doing the trust-clad man-
ufacturers (proteges of a high pro
tective tariffl and the Wall Street
gamblers (the beneficiaries of a most
unjust and tyrannous financial poll
cyl a agrievious wrong by demanding
common justice. These fellows,as wei
as the railways, live upon the sweat
and toll of the producers ofthe coun-
try. So they.too, from "purely selfisf
motives" have been managing theil
business fo" the "general good and
prosperity of the country, knowing
that by so doing they d but work
to their own advantage" So W,
have all been playing the fool. LIE

reason of the temperature of the gull
