Correspondence From the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1890.

w ASHlNGTON, sept. z, lSSO.
Between the visitors in the galleries,
the grog in the restaurant and gambling
in the committee rooms, the Capitol is
about as we'll stocked with the ordin-
ary everyday vices as could be desired
by the most exacting. The seductive
game of poker is not only breaking a
quorum in the House two or three times
a week, but, II reports are true, is
breaking" some members also. These
games in the committee rooms are played
nearly every day, it is said, and before
going into one of them members draw
four, five or six hundred dollars from
the sergeant-at-arms The curious fea-
ture of it is that what many members
take out of one safe is replaced by cor
responding amount left by another mem
ber in another safe in big envelope,
which has nowg grown to great proportions.
The possessor of the envelope is popular
man from the West, who is said to be the
most amiable man and the best poker
player in the House. The other parties to
the game do not keep an envelope.
Unless the enemies of the Louisiana
Lottery Company bring a tremendous
amount of pressure to bear on Congress,
it doesn't look as if that concern had
much cause for alarm about hostile legis-
lation during this session. While the
House had plenty of time at its disposal
in which to discuss and pass the anti
lottery bill, it seems hardly possible that
the Senate will allow adjournment to be
delayed by taking up the measure. Un-
der the plan of prolonged discussion Of
the Tariff bill, that measure Is not at all
likely to be disposed of before the mid
die OF September at the earliest. Some
of those who are urging the passage of
the anti-lottery bill say that measure
could be brought in even if the Quay
resolution were adopted by the Senate,
but others argue that even if this were
SO the Senate will be in no temper to
take up the Lottery bill after the ex-
haustive discussion on the Tariff, R,

THE GIANTS AGAIN VICTORIOUS.

While the Cuban Giants were in town
on Sunday, Daniel Coke, the manager of
the Drifton club, secured an engagement
with Manager Kreiter of the visitors to
play at the latter place on Tuesday. The
game came off at the regular time and
was also witnessed by large crowd. 1t
was very interesting from beginning to
end. The game opened with the Drifton
club at the bat, who scored 2runs before
they were retired. The visitors were
next at bat and by few safe hits and
a couple of errors by the home players
scored runs. Both clubs failed to score
until the seventh inning, when the
Giants took squirt and before the inning
was out placed more rims to their
credit. Drifton scored another run in
the eighth inning as did also the visitors.
Drifton failed to score in the ninth
inning and the game was consequently
awarded to the Giants.
The following is the official score:

Fully eighteen hundred people wit
messed the game at the Freeland park
on Sunday afternoon between the Cuban
Giants, of York, and the home team.
A larger crowd never gathered on any
similar occurrence in Freeland and all
were bent on seeing good game. Their
expectations were fully realized for it
was the best exhibition of ball playing
that was ever given in Freeland, both
clubs doing very effective work at the
bat and on the field. 1t was shortly af-
ter three o'clock when Umpire McNelis
called the game and the enthusiasm
among the spectators was duly COM
menced which lasted until the end of
the contest. Knowing the exceptionally
fine record of the visitors, a few of those
present predicted shut-out for the home
team. This, however, did not occur as
the Freeland boys were not in mood
on Sunday to be shut out and by
their excellent batting succeeded in scor-
ing two runs. Welch pitched splendid
game and was far more effective than
his opponent, who was batted pretty
hard at times. The visitors put up a
first-class game and by their heavy bat
ting and clever coaching managed to
score eight runs. The principal batting
of the game was done by Mulvey and
O'Hara of the home team.

On Lutte Found in a Sarcophagus.

What curled and scented sungirls, almond
eyed,
What lotus blossoms in their hands and
hair,
Have made their swarty lovers call them
fair,
With these spent strings, when brutes were
deihed,
And Memnon in the sunrise sprang and cried,
And love-winds smote Bubastis, and the
bare
Black breasts of carven Pasht received the
prayer
OF suppliants bearing from far and wide!
This lutte has outstrung Egypt; all the lives
OF violent passion and the vast calm art
That lasts In granite only, all lie dead;
This little bird of song alone survives,
As fresh as when Its fiuting smote the heart
Last time the brown slave wore 1t gar
landed.

that is, it is diverted in the system from
its healthful disposition in nourishing

behind him:
"Good evening, SIR"
He turned and saw in the dark hollow
of the big tree woman, holding up a
deerskin curtain. The gray skin was so
near the color of the messy trunk that he
had not noticed it. Now he saw that
the curtain hid big hollow, from which
the woman had come, while from behind
her dress showed the faces of several

In locating the big redwood from the di-

base of the tree helped to guide the news

TIME TO TRANSPLANT.

Frees Frees y,sssie shnt stssfeses very ss.iy in
spring, as larch, willow, and most small
fruits, would better be moved in autumn :;
but if this work WAS neglected at that
time, then attend to it soon after winter
frost is out of the soil. After vegetation
once becomes active in any plant the risk
of removal is greatly heightened. This
is the cause of death of the larches and of
so many of our hardy herbaceous plant,
moved late in spring. The other extreme
is represented by the conifers and mag.
nolia family. Their buds start very late
in the season, and we reasonably suppose
a considerable amount of heat requisite
to rouse vegetation. Consequently, all
such trees and plants may be removed
after much OF our spring work has re-
ceived attention. Indeed, practice has
demonstrated that late removal i'm all such
cases is benefit; success is then much
more certain than il attempted earlier
The peculiar tleshy roots of magnolias
will not emit new fibres unless the sap is
flowing freely; this lack frequently causes
decay in these organs. AS rule, all
eyergyeens evidently -disl;ke To semaiu In
transition state between active growth
and season of rest, when recently re-
moved to new soil. Taking everything
into consideration, autumn is preferable
to spring for transplanting most deciduous
trees. Stone fruits, however, seem to be
an exception, unless moved in early fall,
as it is imperative for them to form fresh
flores to be enabled to withstand the Sc
verify of the following winter Generally,
more difficulty is experienced in trans
planting cherries than any other of our
fruit trees, and more than usual care should
be taken not to mutilate the roots as
large proportion of the failures result from
this cause alone.-Nco York. Tribune.
