Mos. OF our young readers Will
be surprised to hear that the we'll
known nursery song of "Mary Had
a Little Lamb" is a true story, and
that Mary" is still living. About
seventeen years ago she was a
little girl. the daughter OF farmer
in Worcester county. Mass. She
was very fond OF going with her
father to the ields to see the sheep,
and one day they found baby
lamb which was thought to be dead.
Kind hearted little Mary, however,
lifted 1T up in her arms, and as it
seemed to breathe carried it home,
made L warm bed near the stove
and nursed it tenderly. Great was
her delight when, a,.er weeks Of
careful feeding and watching, her
little patient began to grow well
and strong, and socn after it was
able to run about.
1t knew It's young mistress per-
fectly, always came at her call. and
was happy on y when at her side.
One day it followed her to the viii
lage school, and not knowing what
else to do with it, she pat it under
her desk, and covered it with her
shawl. There it stayed until Nary
was called up to the teachers desk
to say her lesson, and then the
lamb walked quietly. after her and
the other children burst out laugh
ing. So the teacher had to shut
the little girls pct in the wood
shed until school was out. Soon
after this a young student, named
John Rollstone, wrote little poem
about Mary and her lamb, and pre-
sented it to her. The lamb grew
to he sheep, and lived for many
years. and when at last it died.
Mary grieved SO much for it that
her mother took some of its wool,
which WAS las white as snow" and
knitted pair Of stockings for her
to wear in remembrance of her dar-
ling.
Some years after the lambs
death, Mrs. Sarah Hall, a celehra-
ted woman who wrote books. com
posed some verses about Marv's
lamb, and added them to those
written by John Rollstone, making
complete poem as we know it.
Mary took such good care Of the
stockings made of her lambs fleece
that when she was a grown up wo
man she gave one Of them to a
church fair in Boston. As soon as
it became known that the stocking
was made from the fleece of Ma
rvs little lamb" every one wanted
q piece Of it. So the stocking was
raveled out and the yarn cut into
small pieces Each piece was tied
to card On which Mary wrote her
full name, and these cards sold go
we'll that they brought the large sum
of $40 in the Old South Church.

ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT.
Republican Efforts to Secure The Passage
Of the Elections Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The news that
Senator ingalls, has started eastward in re-
sponse to urgent kilograms from Edmunds
and Hoar was received with some enthusi-
asm by the friends of the Elections Bill in
the Senate. The announcement had been
made that Ingalls, intended to remain in To-
peka until the Legislature had elected his
successor, and the Republican managers
were very much afraid they would not have
quorum OF Republican Senators here next
week.
Paddock says he cannot be here next
week, and Squire also has announced his in
tention to remain in the West for week or
more. Urgent kilograms have been sent to
them, and they may be persuaded to return.
Every Republican vote will be needed in the
Senate next week, as it is not unlikely that
an effort will be made to "set out" the
Elections Bill, and the Democratic Senators
can be counted on to break a quorum if pos
sble by absenting themselves from the
chamber.
AS stated by Hale and Teller during the
recent debate in the Senate, nothing has
been done publicly by the Democrats t. in
dicate that they intended to filibuster
against the bill. As bearing on that point,
the assertion of q leading Democratic Sena-
tor recently may be quoted, to the effect
that his party would ''use every fair and
honorable means to beat the bill" with the
supplemental statement that the Demo-
cratic leaders had not put forward their
heaviest speakers yet.
An informal conference of Democratic
leaders was held tonight. 1t is understood
that it was agreed TO use all legitimate par
liamentary means to defeat the Federal
Election Bill and the proposed cloture
scheme.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. s. - The Press
Washington special says. AT the House
end of the Capitol there is Il great disgust
over the course of Cameron and other Re-
publicans in preventing vote being reached
ON the Elections Bill in the Senate. "The
Senate ought to pass the bill. said McKenna
of California;, ''after having gone to the
length they have gone, if it takes the dome
off the Capitol. To permit the bill to fail
now would be disgraceful fiasco"

These instructions have been confidentially

the opening of the season. Early in the
coming spring both German and British
war vessels will be cruising in Behring Sea,

Increasing Severity of Profss-

Emperor William Rapidly Losing Favor With

Copyrighted, 1890, by the New York Associated
Press

BERLIN, Jan. 3.-Professor Koch is in i'll
humor over the increasing severity of pro-
fessional criticisms here and abroad. 1t is
understood that he has asked Minister Won
Gossler to relieve him from his pledge to
surrender lis right to the discovery. Won
GeSsler was opposed to publishing the
composition Of the remedy until foreign
Governments had been communicated with
as 10 the precautions necessary to secure
the production OF genuine lymyh.
When the Landtag resumes its sitting an
official declaration will be made repudiating
ii desire on the pant of the Government to
retain any advantage through the produc-
tion of lymph, and expressing its readiness
TO communicate the process through other
Governments which are able to guarantee
against the abuse of it. In the meantime
the anger Of medical circles arising from the
privileged traffic in lymph is growing in
warmth.
OPPOSITION TO THE GOVERNMENT.
The relations between the Conservative
majority in the Landtag and the Gov
erument increases in hostility. The Co.
logne Gazette, Hamburg Nachrichten
and other organs Of the opposition,
attack the Enueror's policy all around.
A review Of the year became the pTetext for
bitter criticisms, contrasting the Emperor S
promises of reforms, with their negative re-
. suits. The Cologne Gazette warns Chancel-
1or Won CapriYi that nothing is more dan
geFous than unrcalized promises. The Gov
ernment, il SAYS, since Prince BiSmarck's re-
tircment has achieved nothing. The projects
for labor reform, alteration Of the system
Of taxation, new school system, new customs
system and new communal legislation have
orened the rOSl ectye OF an internal
conflict, Of which i. is impossible TO foresee
Fl the cons quences.
