was a railroad official holding a very
important position, and in receipt OF a
very large salary. His duties required
him to be stationed at a small western
town on the line of the railroad, and 1t
was a great trial to himself, as well as
to his beautiful and accomplished wife,
that she was deprived Of the pleasures
and advantages of a city life to which
she had been accustomed. She had al
ways looked upon her stay as temporary,
and to be endured as period OF walt
ing only. The people of any preten-
sions in the place who had called on her
had all been uncongenial to her, as she
really was woman of very superior
cultivation and accomplishments; and
she had gradually withdrawn herself
from social intercourse, and occupied
herself with her books, her drawing
and painting, and in keeping up very
extensive correspondence. Not thatshe
felt herself above or any better than
the people of the town-she was too
genuinely a lady for that-but they
were uninteresting to her; they APP
pealed neither to her sympathies nor
her taste, and she preferred her own
society to theirs.
Mrs. Elmore was interrupted in her
thoughts by the arrival of the pretty
little seamstreSs, whom she had en-
ployed for several days. After she had
given her some general directions about
her work, sudden thought struck Mrs.

| The Democratic CaacAa Agreement
Being Carried Out.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. - Everything
moved along smoothly this morning i'll
the programme arranged yesterday by
the Democratic caucus. The officers of
the Fair have come to the conclusion that
| the best thing that can be done is to ac-
cept the situation and endeavor to pass
the Durborow bill rather than continue
! the fight and take the chances of getting
nothing. In accordance with this advice
| the Democratic Worlds Fair mem ers in
Congress will not resort to obstructive
tactics, but will vote with their colleagues
to carry out the caucus agreement. The
| Republican members, also. will not de-
lay matters. This course is being taken
on the advice given Hopkins of Illinois
| by Director General Davis as to the
wishes of the Worlds Fair managers.
| But the Republican policy will be to
make it very plain that the whole respon-
| sibility rests with the Democrats, and
! that they propose to keep their record
clear by voting steadily for the s., 10000
proposition. The Worlds Fair men ex-
pect the Sunday closing will be incorpor-
ated in the Durborow bill Tomorrow, and
say they will have to accept it. An effort
| is making to have the vote on the Durbo-
row bill tomorrow and bring about the
! earliest possible Congressional adjourn
ment.
When the House met, Holman of In
diana moved to suspend the rules and
pass the joint resolution extending till
August 10th the sundry civil appropria-
tons. Agreed to.
Holman then moved that the House re-
consider the vote by which it agreed to
the Senate Worlds Fair appropriation
amendment, and that the bill be sent to
conference. Agreed to-l21 to 40-no one
making the point OF no quorum.
Finally the sundry civil bill was sent
to conference.
Reilly of Pennsylvania moved to sus-
pend the rules and adopt the resolution
providing that Immediately after it's
adoption the House proceed to the con-
sideration of the substitute for the Dur
borrow bill, such substitute to be consid-
cred an original bill.
Bailey protested, and said the adoption
of the resolution meant that the treasury
doors were to be opened and an Illinois
corporation permitted to take out 81, 500
600.
Culberson took issue with Bailey and
Reilly's resolution was agreed to- to
1877.
Then Bailey started filibustering, but
after few minutes, receiving no back
ing his work ended, and Reilly called up
the Durborow bill amended to provide
for an appropriation Of S2,500,000 The
bill was considered in committee of the
whole and after several amendments
were offered and lost, the committee rose

The Government Not Excited Over TIL @
Reported Seizure.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The report that
the British Government had taken pos
session of Johnson Island, in the Pacific
Ocean does not excite much interest in
official circles, for the reason that the
island is of no value for strategetic pur-
poses and because its supply of guano is
practically exhausted. At the Depart
ment of State it is said the United States
has exercised a jurisdictional right over
the island since 1858, when the American
Guano Company landed party thereon
and occupied it. Territorial jurisdiction.
however, has never been claimed by the
United States and the island has never
been annexed. The United States would
exert its jurisdictional rights over the
island to protect the guano company in
pursuit of its business, but it is said there
would be no conflict with the territorial
jurisdiction set forward by any other
Government. In case the guano COM
pany abandoned operations on the
island this Government would have no
Jurisdiction whatever over it.
