LooTINa OF THE TREASURY.
Chairman Cannon's Prophecy Already
Fulfilled.

WASHINGTON, July H.-Chairman Can
non of the appropriation committee, while
he puts out statements designed to mini
mize as much as possible the effect which the
extravaganza Of the republican congress is
making on the public mind, is just the man
who is using the figures to show the def
cheney which this extravaganza has caused
most effectively. Mr.. Cannon has the brake
on the republican wagon. All winter he
has hel back the Republican party from
even worse extravaganza than they have
perpetrated. In season and out of season,
in committee and on the floor, he has dem
onstrated and protested against the large
expenditures which the full treasury left
by the Cleveland administration tempted
the republicans to make.

HE MADE HIMSELF UNPOPULAR.

He has made himself perhaps the most
unpopular man among his republican coL
leagues on that side of the House by oppos-
ing public buildings and ali other such ap-
propriations for benefiting their respective
districts from the public treasury. He has
predicted over and over again Just the state
of affairs which has come to pass, and now,
privately, be says, 81 told you So" to the
more reckless republicans. Mr.. Cannon's
influence has bent Speaker Reed SO that he
(Reed is as determined as Mr.. Cannon to
prevent any more money from being
appropriated. Speaker Reed and Messrs
Cannon and McKialey are the committee
on rules, the steering committee of the
House. 1t is evident that the looting of the
treasury will be stopped for the time being,
at least until it can be filed up again.

A party of gentlemen were discussing
Kris Kringle and the days events at the
Auditorium dispensary. All or nearly
all were relating the experiences of the
night before or that morning with the
little folks. Boys" said one of the party
big furniture man on Wabash avenue,

ster said when he saw the Christmas tree.
He is the baby of the house and has taken
a most absorbing fancy to his papa.
seem to be to his babyish fancy the be-a
and end-all of humanity. My wife and
| fixed up the tree last night, and this
morning we opened her up just little
after daylight. Three pairs of eyes were
all ablaze, but the fourth little pair
seemed to be missing something. The
little one of course understood that Santa
Claus brought everything, and as Santa
Claus had been very liberal older heads
marveled somewhat at the Indifference
of the baby boy to his gifts. Pretty
soon the little fellow laid his toys away
with kind of bored expression, and
climbing on my knee he lisped, Papa,
did Thanta Claus bring dose sings?
said, Yes, DEAR repeating the conven-
tional lie. The little chap put his mouth
to my ear and whispered, Papa, l don't
care for Thanta Claus-what is 90 dom
to dig me?' Boys, maybe didn't go off
and buy that baby something. and give
it to him out Of my own hand. Some
times think the Santa Claus fable ought
to be relegated to the top shelf. That
little boy cared nothing for Santa Claus
Or for his gifts. He did love his papa and
wanted him to remember him. chicago

CONCERNING THE MISTLETOE.
An Exotic Shrub Which Has but Recent
ly Been introduced in America.

An Exotic Shrub Which Has but Recent
ly Been Introduced in America.
The mistetoe hung on the castle wall,
And the holly branch shone In the old oak hall,
And the barons retainers were blithe and gay
Keeping their Christmas holiday.
At this season Of the year the mistletoe
is welcome addition to the stock of our
florists, being intimately associated, as it
is, with Christmas sports. 1t is new,
however, to this country, and it is not
much more than a decade since the first
venture was ever brought here. The
shrub is mostly tropical and parasitical
and authorities on the subject tell us
that there are over four hundred known
species of the order. There is only one
species known to Great Britain, the COM
mon mistletoe-the viscum album, as it
is botanically known-and it is with
that particular species that we have to
deal
1t is popularity supposed that the mis-
but this is mistake, as it is found on
the oak in very rare instances, while it
grows with great profusion on the apple,
she pear, the hawthorn, and also on syca-
mores, lines, poplars, locust trees and
frs. In some portions of the south Of
England it is very abundant, and its
evergreen leaves give peculiar appear
ance to the orchards in winter, when the
bushes of mistletoe are very conspicuous
among the naked branches of the trees.
There is a superstition connected with
the mistletoe that it is unlucky to fell an
oak on which it grows, and the author
of Magma BRITANNIA describes great
wood belonging to the archbishops of
the Hundred Of Croyland, said to have
consisted wholly of oaks, and among
them was one that bore mistletoe, which
some persons were SO hardy as to cut
down for the gain of selling it to the
apothecaries of London, leaving a branch
of it to sprout out, but they proved I'M
fortunate after it, for one of them fell
lame and others lost an eye. At length,
in the year 1873, a certain man. notwith
standing he was warned against it, upon
fered, adventured to cut the tree down,
and he soon after broke his leg. To fell
oaks had long been considered fatal, and
such as believe it produce the instance
of the Earl of Winchelsea, who, having
felled a curious grove of oaks, soon after
found his countess dead in her bed sud
denly, and his eldest son, Lord Maid
stone, was presently killed by cannon
ball.-New York Press

What is tattler? A vile leech,
sapping the life blood of human happi-
ness. A black, greedy vuture feasting
upon the carrion of society. A busy
body who listens cheerfulIy to any
thing harsh You may say OfyOur neigh
Dor, either pettishly or IN IL joke, and
then carries it magnltied and patched
up to suit himself aud pours it scorch-
ing hot into the ears of perhaps your
best FREUD, and after succeeding In
getting him or her to say something
equally harsh, returns to you laden
with his precious burden Of strife and
adds fuel to the smouidering fire.
Thus, little by little, this ghoul OF hu-
man society tilches the happiness OF
human friendship aud developes be-
tween the kiudc>t of ncighbors and the
best OF friends IL hatred which should
be known only to the bosom of Il de-
mon.

cord and hate II so, in the name of HUI

arc all liable to err. all apt to say IN "a

joke things which an hour attcrward,

heartily wish unsaid. But deeper is
the sin and thicker is the crime of him,

tai, effects the destruction of the hap
piness of his neishbor OF his interests.

spirit, moderate in his desires, temper
ate in his appetites, diligent and faith
ful in his labors, atfectionate and gen
erous in his disposition, calm and self
possessed. interested in good objects for
their own sake, and glad to aid them
by his own efforts, he possesses more
of the materials of happiness than many

tages. 1t Is life in it's best sense which
makes us happy, and happiness, in its
