The total increase In the apprOprla

Of the first session of the Reed Congress
is in round numbers about $44, 900, 900.
But in the matter of pensions alone this
Congress was committed in advance by
the legislation of the Reed Congress to
an increase of $48, 900, 900 at this session
and then the permanent annual appropri-
ations were increased $1O,00O,OO0 for
sugar bounties and $4,000, 900 for refund
ing national bank notes. The Worlds
Fair gets 50, 100000. In all, therefore,
the additional appropriations imposed
upon this Congress at It's first session by
the last Congress foot up nearly $7O,
| 600, 900.
The comparison shows that in the
preparation of those bills which were
left to its own judgment this House
made a good record for itself. The in
crease in the Agricultural bill grew out
of the demands of the agricultural inter
ests and the desire of the democratic ma
jority to subserve those int erests.
Economy of the Democrats.
A saving of over a hundred thousand
dollars is to be noted in the Diplomatic
and Consular bill, and nearly half mil
lion dollars in the District of Columbia
bill. The fortifcation bill shows saw
ing of million and half.
The fact that the Navy bill as passed
comes within $500, 900 Of being as large
as the bill of two years ago is to be at
tributed to the movement in the ranks OF
the democratic members in both houses
led by Senator German. The Maryland
Senator Joined hands with the republi
cans in demanding liberal navy bill, ano
the combination carried the day.
The increase of So, 900, 900 in the post

LEGENDS OF suNkEN CITIES.

the Sea.
Dozens of cities and not n few incon-
siderab BILE towns mentioned by ancient
writer's have partially or VIII olly disap-
peared beneath the waves OF the rest
less oceans. One of these was Hanga!a,
which stood near Chittagong and
which appears to have given it's name
to Bengal. Ptolemy mentions n sea-
port called Romaria, which stood in
Comarip, in India OF this city the
sole relic is a rock in the sea, having in
its center well Of fresh water. Plassy,
the place where Give gained his great
est victory, has been swept to the last
vestige by the River Hooghly. Raven
spur on the east coast of England, was
long since swept away by the gradual
inroads of the channel.
Town BaulS, near Cape May, n. j., i,
so called from town which once stood
on the coast but which is now covered
by the waters of Delaware Bay. Wales
also has its sunken city, which
tradition has placed in Lake Llangorse.
The famous City of Is was somewhere
along the coast of Brittany, and various
places are now pointed out to
the tourists as its original site.
There is said to be sunken
city in Germany somewhere in the
island of Rngen: on calm days it is even
said that one may hear the balls of the
city as they are being rocked back and
forth by the waves w. Muller's fam
Gus lyric is based on this old supersti-
ton. The first stanza of this exquisite
| little poem runs as follows:
Hark the faint bells of the sunken city
Peal once more their wonted evening
chime;

In addition to these l might mention
| Amalf, the sinking of which is cele-
| brrted in poem by Longfetlow; and
Savanna-laM which went down in a
West Indian earthquake and was inn
mortalized by De Quincy. The ancien at

Origin of n Custom.

The peculiar custom OF lovers break
ing a piece of money, each retaining
one.half as token of remem brance,
has come down from ancient times
Long before Europe and Asia were pro-
vided with inns or public houses of en-
tertainment it was the custom for trav-
elers to seek lodgings with private
householders, and on parting pebble,
ring, piece of money or other token
was broken, each taking half and re-
tanning it, that the host at some future
time, if necessary, might claim return
of hospitality by PRESENT. ng the token.

The Board OF Trade Operator Beaten In
His Own HouseIl old.
Some days ago the daughter of an
old Board-of- Trader who livcs in one OF
those castle-lilxe residences far south on
Prairie avenue salts 6ed a passing whim
by purchasing a parrot Now, her
father is a man of very few words, but
this fact went for nothing with the par
rot Before the green and yellow
feathered linguist had spent so much
as forty-eight hours amid its new sur
roundings it proved itself able to out
talk the entire family. It demonstrated
that it was one of those takers that In

word at night and the first and fercest
in the morning. In fine. the bird was
way up in his business He seemed to
fully and thoroughly realize that he
was born and bought to talk, and now
his one purpose in life was to fulfill his
mission.
The old Board Of Trader is KIDD,
indulgent father, but he is also one of
the few men in this world who know
when they have enough Poll was too
much.
The daughter taught the bird to say
and do many bright things, and among
others to salute her father with ''Ah,
there! How'd you like the weather to-
day?" This, somehow, proved an addi-
tional irritation to the old gentleman,
but, nevertheless, he tried to smile and
look pleasant under it.
After enduring the pet "beast" for
several days the indulgent parent tried
to coax his daughter to let him take it
down and exhibit it to the boys on
change. Secretly his point was to lose
tie parrot en- route. But, no; the
daughter was too familiar with the
plucking propensities of her fathers
associates to trust her sweet darling
polr'' in the pits. Things ran on from
bad to worse, until finally one day
when the market had gone heavily
against him-aud that, tao, on the
strength of a fake cable from Russia -
the old man went home at night with

house and past his wife and daughter

'Blanl< you-' hissed the old man, and

round and round at arms length about
his head a score of times and then
dropped him on the floor for dead.
| The daughter and Misunderstanding
followed the fathrr on tip-toe-stood
specchless, gazing upon the exhibition
| from behind curtains.
| Presently the parrot began to show
signs of recovery. He got upon his feet,
waddlcd to his pole, and after a dexter
Gus use of his bcak and talons he
gained his perch. Then looking about

ANOTHER chapter of brutality is
added to the history of lawlessness
and butehery at Homestead. On a
railroad train proceeding to Pitts
burg fifty-six laborers who were be-
ing abducted to Homestead to be
put to work in the Carnegie mills
attempted to escape from their alb
ductors. They met with resistance
from the armed guards in charge OF
them. In the riot which followed
one of the laborers received a bayo-
net thrust in the head, another had
a thumb chewed off, and score OF
others were badly bruised. Thirty
five of the men succeeded in escap-
ing from their captors, while the re-
manning twenty-one were overpow-
cred by the guards and taken to
Pittsburg. The men were hired in
Cincinnati and claim they did not
know that they were to be sent to
Homestead. AS soon as they board
ed the train the doors were locked
and armed guards were stationed on
the platforms of the cars to see that
none of the laborers left the train.
In view of the events which have
occurred in connection with the
Homestead strike it may well be
asked, what is the country coming

MIR. CIeYeland,s Mother.

Mrs. Anne Neal Cleveland died
in 1882, the same year that her son
was elected by an unprecedented
majority the Governor of the great
State of New York. 1t was to her
sacred memory his thoughts turned
with filial love and reverence as
he then unused over his political
success and wrote to his brother:
eff mother were here, 1 should
be writing to her, and I feel as
if it were time for me to write to
someone who would believe what /
write"
Before concluding he added:
'Do you know, if mother were alive
l should feel so much safer. /
have always thought that her pray
ers had much to do with my sue
cess"
Those lines, written ten years
ago, are about the best tribute
that words could pay to the Bal
timore mother of 'tfavorite son. "
When Cleveland was inaugurated
as President of the United States,
March 4, 1885, he took the oath OF
Office on a Bible which his mother
had given him and which he most
dearly cherishes.
