One OF the most enthusiastic collect
ors of rar books / ever knew was a
young man-now dead-who was for
a good many years employed as a
clerk in one of the local railroad of
fees. He was a frequent visitor at my
store, and would spend hours at a
time rummaging around in odd cor
ners in the hope of finding some liter
airy curiosity hid away, and whenever
he CHANGED upon some volume of more
than ordinary interest his enthusiasm
knew no bounds. His salary was
small, and would not permit of his in
dulging his tastes to any great extent,
but ! was always glad to see him come
in. 1t made no difference to me
whether he made a purchase or not,
for he wa of great benefit to me in a
very peculiar way. You see, books,
especially old ones, will get covered
with dust, and need moving around
to prevent the accumulated dust from
injuring them seriously. The conse-
quence was hat SO long as he fire.
quented my store he helped, by hand
ling the books and moving them
about, to keep them clean. This may
cen a little strange at first thought,
but you can readily see the logic Of it.

why women Arc Rarely nebhsd.

1t is singular that more ladies are
not robbed on the public thorough
fares, for the majority of them carry
every cent they possess in their pocket
books, which in turn are carried in
their hands. l suppose, however, the
reason thieves do not snatch more of
these money books is that they know
we'll the chances are they would get
little, even if successful in evading
the police, after an assault of the kind
upon a pima The great handsome
silver tipped Russian leather affairs
called purses are very attractive in
themselves, but in nine out of ten
cases the inside of them are very
lonesome" L heard a professional
thief say once that it was regarded as
extra hazardous in his profession to
roba woman, either in the house or ON
the street, and for two reasons: First
ly, that a woman always screams, and,
secondly, she has seldom much to be
taken. A man, on the contrary, either
gives the thief a chance to get away
or fights, and then his watch, money
or valuables are much easier TO get at.

1t Is usual for travellers to dwell on
the utter desolation of Babylon, and to
paint its site as a strip of desert espe-
cially woebegone and unfertile. But
the eloquent gentlemen who dwell
upon this aspect of the place could not
have seen it in early spring. The
date groves and gardens along the
E~uphrates are then things of beauty
i n their fresh spring verdure, and the
plain itself is laid down with crops.
Irrigation canals o it here and
there, and give trouble TO the horse
men. No grass grows upon the
mounds, and there are patches of the
level white with the inter which is to
be found here as in other parts of
Mesopotamia; but the surface of the
soil is on the whole green and pleasant
to the eye. The glad waters of the
river How in the bright morning sun
shine with palm and mulberry hang
ing over its banks, drinking in sap
and life.
The great city which counted its
population by millions and filed the
world with a renown not yet forgot
ten, has disappeared under the dust of
twenty centuries; but nature is as
fresh and jocund as when Babylon
was still unbuilt. Birds sing overhead
in the pleasant spring air; butterflies
hutter about in search of flowers
balmy odors regale the sense. 1t is
therefore difficult to feel as one per
haps ought for the great capital which
once numbered this ground. Nature
does not mourn for it, and it is hard to
be sad at the bidding of sentiment
when bright spring hides its graves

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Chaudler,
rising to a question of personal privilege,
offered a preamble and resolution, stating
that Senator Call of Florida had charged
him in debate Thursday night with perso-
nal responsibility for outraging women
and the murder of children and the
destruction of the happiness of households
IN the south by men who were emissaries
behind him; and that Call in addition
had inserted in an official report the fol-
lowing paragraph. which he had not
spoken: THE blood of Saunders (f the
evidence shall show his death in any way
connected with the prosecutions In United
States courts) will rest on his conscience.
The shrieking ghosts of outraged women
and children, victims of the wild lusts
and passions of a race who owe all that
they know of religion and civilization to
the southern white people and not to
the senator from New Hampshire, will
disturb his sleeping and his waking hours.
Like Bsnquo's ghost, it will not down,
and an ocean will not wash his blood
stained hands from the guilt of rape and
murder OF these tender white women and
children The resolution condemns such
action as a breach of privilege for which
Call is censured and orders the words in
serted and the paragraph so added
stricken from the report in the
Congressional Record.
Call defended his course in the matter,
asserting that he in debate expressed sub
stantially the same idea as is expressed in
the additional paragraph. He simply
changed the p~hraseologv as he had a right
to do. After a short debate the resolu-
ton went over till tomorrow.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 24.-Secretary
Window was before the house committee
on coinage. weights and measures for the
purpose of having an interchange of
opinion on the subject of silver coinage
with the members of the committee. He
declared that his bill was framed to meet,
in the best way he could devise. the pres
ent financial condition OF the country,
and. he disavowed all charges that his bill
was a mere makeshiA. that its author did
not. believe in it. and that Il was brought
forward to defeat some other measure.
He said he was really q strong friend of
silver. although some people did not
think 30. and he was anxious for some

Hellmuth, who were born at Baden,
Germany, Feb. l., 1S47, within four
miles of each other. Even through
their childhood, playing in the streets
of the same town, they were strangers
to each other. In the course of events
they came across the ocean to the land
of promise, and at different times and
by different paths they drifted to
Washington, where they met and
loved and welded. Upon comparing
notes to take out their marriage license
they discovered, to their mutual sur

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga message
from the president was received by the
senat to day. recommending the re-
moval Of the Flatheld Indians. Montana,
to fhe Jses reservation. in the same
state.
The principal features Of the silver bill
to be reported by the senate committee
on finance. as a substitute for the bills on
that subject referred to it, are stated to be
these: The secretary of the treasury is
authorized to increase the purchase of
silver bullion from 81. DOC, 900 to IS. 0oo.-
600 per month. The requirement Of the
present law that the coinage of silver be
not less than At the rate Of 81, OOO, 900
per month, Is stricken out The secre-
tary is also authorized to purchase gold
bullion in unrestricted quantities. Upon
this gold and silver bullion the secretary
shall issue treasury notes of such denomi-
nations As he shall see fit, to be redeema-
BILE in lawful money.
Paddock introduced to-day in the senate
q bill to amend the interstate commerce
act. The amendment is intended to pro-
vide relief for the farmers of the West
who are unable at present to market their
crops on account Of the high freight rats
prevailing on long hauls and which the
railroads claim cannot be reduced without
demoralizing all short rates under the
Interstate act. The bill provides that the
long and short haul clause be amended so
that in case OF an investigation of an IN
fraction of that section the commission
will be obliged to consider the cost Of
transportation and the facts and circum-
stances bearing upon the market value of
the product, and if 1t appears the product
is one of the necessaries of life and upon
tia justly lower rate is indispensable in
order to enable such product to be trans
ported to market, such transportation
rate, so far as the long haul clause is c,n-
cerned, will be considered an exception to
the general rule. The amendment also
provides that the long haul for such
product, within the meaning of the
amendment, shall be 500 miles or more
by the route over which the freight is
actually transported.
