It is admitted and popularity supposed
that Count T~Olstoi's new novel, the
"Kreutzer Sonata" has been excluded
from the mails because Of its immortality.
The American translator and publisher
Of the work, Mr.. Benjamin K. Tucker, of
Boston. tells q different story. After
denying the allegation that the book is
salacious, he says:
ut is possible. too, that Mr.. Wanamaker

yate revenge, as he was unable to buy the

Poor Mrs, stowe.

A Hartford man tells the following
story Of dear Mrs, Stowe. who in the
last quiet years OF her life. is again u
little child. Walking in a friends
garden one of these pleasant spring
mornings, she came upon the gardener
who was busily at work: '.My friend"
she said, going up to him in her
simple. childish way. '.have you ever
read Uncle TOMS Cabin?'" Tho per-
picked fellow slowly unbent himself.
He was 10th to wound the kindly
heart. and he wished to say the most
for himself. And SO he felt himself
getting very red as he stammered.
.'Well. not exactly, ma'am. Not as
you might say read it, but I've tried
to, ma'am."

there ID q clause which reads that treasury
notes or certificates issued under the act

Here is a sample Of tariff argument
from the Sioux City Journal,
Corn is selling at so cents a bushel in
the Sioux City corn country; but the or
gars of Golden clubism and Calamity
Janeism are not publishing the fact in
bold faced type,
OF course the shortage Of the corn crop
has nothing to do with the hig price; its
q high protective tariff that does it. The
Journal must take Its farmer readers to
be a pack of fools.

postmaster of Casselton, to be insane,
n q recommendation has been made
that he be confined in an asylum.

pointed Capt. William Dewey, of Grand

dakota, Is here, and will remain some
time. He says he is not here to fight for
or against the lottery. Jud will not saw
just what the object of his trip is, but
claims it is of great Importance to North
Dakota.
New Rockford.-D. B. Wellman came
home last week from a trip through
Iowa and Illinois and told The Tran
script editor that the poor in those states
are much worse off than the poor of
North Dakota, whose prospects are just
now very bright.
Minnewaukan.-David Howery, of
Leeds, has returned from Spokane Falls,
where he went with two carloads of
cattle. He stated to the editor of The
Siftings that out West there are 500 men
for every job, and that those who r in
North Dakota had better stay.
Fargo.-A Washington telegram says
the senate has passed the bill appropri-
ating sos, 0O0for a public building in this
city, and it now rests on the house calen-
dar. Senator Pierce hopes to have the
senate reconsider the bill and increase
the amount to $3.50, 600 or $500, 600.
Grand Forks.-Eighty sections of pub
lie school lands in this county were
leased by the county auditor Thursday,
at public auction. Most of the land went
at nominal figures ranging from Is cents
to $50 per 100 acres. The bidders formed
a combine and succeeded in keeping
the prices down. There are 5 1000 acres
in this county to be leased in the same
manner.
Misunderstanding commenced here
a little later this year than last. but the
ground is in much better condition. A
light snow has fallen, which will still
further improve the condition of the
soil, which is already in excellent condi-
ton. The crop acreage will be largely
increased this year over last, owing to
the large amount of breaking done last
season.

THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April lin the house,
Mr.. Lacey, of Iowa, called up the con-
tested election case of Waddell VS.. Wise
from the Richmond, Va, district, and
made an argument in favor of Mr.. Wad-
dell, the Republican contestant.
MIR. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, supported
the resolution of the minority of the
committee, which declares the seat va
cant.
Mr.. Greenhalge, of Massachusetts, and
Nh. Bergen, of New Jersey, spoke in ia
vor of the contestant, and Mr.. Crisp, of
Georgia, presented the case of Mr.. Wise,
the sitting member, from a legal stand
point. Without action on the case the
house, at 5 o'clock, took a recess to 7:3O
p. m., the night session to be for the con
sideration of private pension bills.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The house,
after the journal was read, resumed con
sideration of the contested election case
of Waddell against Wise.
The vote on the minority substitute
resolution declaring the seat vacant in
the contested election case of Waddell
rs. Wise was defeated.
WASHINGTON. April 15.-An air of sad
ness pervaded the house chamber when
the speakers gavel called the body to
order. Draped in black and ornamented
with a handsome floral design, the seat
SO long occupied by Mr.. Randall recalled
to members the fact that their old col
league had passed away forever. The
crayon portrait of the ex-speaker hung
in the lobby was also tastefully draped
with the emblems of mourning. In his
prayer the chaplain feelingly alluded to
the loss sustained by congress and the
nation.
MI. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, then
announced the death of Hon. Samuel j..
Randall and offered the following reso.
lutions:
Resolved, That the house has heard
with deep regret and profound sorrow of

dali, late a representative from the
State of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That a committee of nine
members of the house, with such men,
bers of the. senate as may be joined, be
appointed to attend the funeral of the
