WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Jones, Of Ne
vada,,is known to his colleagues as the
senatorial story teller. He is fond Of
taking possession Of a big chair just
within the senate cloak room, with a
fragrant cigar between his teeth and a
crowd of his fellow senators gathered
about, listening to his stories. 1t is one
of the traditions Of the senate that Jones
has a new story every morning, and SEN
stors on both sides of the chamber think
a day has been lost if night comes and
they have not heard the newest yarn of
the senator from Nevada. Jones fund
Of stories appears to be inexhaustible.
Many Of them are anecdotes of his per
sonal experiences in the far west.

A Musical Novelty.

A novel.instance of innate and in
tuitive musical knowledge was given
those who attended the concert of the
German societies On Sunday evening
last by Prof. Carl Beck. Without pre-
vious rehearsal he assumed the di-
rection of the famous Zapadores band
plotting them through several OF
their most elaborate and difficult
selections, without a hitch. The
more emotional members of the band
enthusiastically embraced Herr Pro-
lessor after the performance, 6eclar-
ing him musical prodigy. In the
opinion of those who were fortunate
enough to be present the selections
were never better rendered or more
perfectly directed.

THE SHEKELS AND THE CUP.

~ THANKSGIVING LINES.
Our grateful songs in rapture rise,
For blessings from propitious skies;
For golden harvests gathered here,
Where plenty's purple banner flies
Unchallenged through the circling year.
For bread the toiler need not lack,
If at the plow he looks not back,
And winnows from the seed the tares.
He'll find the shekels in his sack,
As Jacobs anxious sons found theirs.
Large is the loaf the harvest brings,
Feast for continent of kings.
Are We not sovereigns lifted up?
Our nations las the youngest born)
Like Benjamin's filled sack of corn,
Contains the shekels and the cup!
Summer on rapid wings has fed,
Leaves that were green are turning red,
The cheerful swallows southwark soar;
But He who gives Us daily bread
Has filed our basket and our store.
From teeming fields bronzed labor titled
Our vaults and bins and barns are filled,
And We have learned to toll and trust.
The rain, in plenteous showers distilled,
Fell on the just and the unjust.
