The House Committee Cuts Down the Arpro-
priation from $500, 900 to 100000
HERALD BUREAU,

WASHINGTON, d. c., May is.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May is.
1 telegraphed you a fortnight ago that
the House Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds had agreed to a favorable re-
port on the Salt Lake public building bill,
but they reduced the appropriation from
$500, 600 to $500, 600. Mr.. Abbot of Texas,
one of the members of the committee, has
been engaged in writing the report which
is to accompany tie bill. The report was
finished today and sent 10 the public
printer. 1t is based mainly on the state
ments made by Delegate Caine and Mr..
West, who recently appeared before them
and which were printed the following day
in THE HERALD.
The report refers to the rapidly growing
wealth aud population OF Salt Lake, to the
fact that the government is now paying an
excessive rental and that the public needs
and the service requires permanent pub
lie building The report also shows the
expenditure for private Improvement in
Salt Lake during the past year and in
stances the fact that if the net receipts of
the local rostoffice were set aside for a
term of ten years the aggregate amount
would give the people q postoffice and site
worth upwards of 100000.

A Good Word for the Sparrow.

The pugnacious sparrow has long been charged with driving away our native birds. This may be true to a limited extent, but it does not appear to be as true bill of indictment, so far as recent observation goes, as it might be. Others besides ourselves have observed large number of robins, bluebirds and chip pies nesting nearer by than heretofore, and that they are not molested by the sparrows. A pair of robins selected 8 tree near the sidewalk, not over fifty feet from our front door, and many times day we see the parent birds gathering their food upon the lawn, and never once, there or elsewhere, have we seen them disturbed by sparrows.
 A bluebird has nest in house at a neighbours just diagonally across the street, and a chippy family of young in a tree only few rods to our left, and never once have we known of either be- ing molested. We believe the truth to be that the numerous shotguns in the hands of wanton destroyers of innocent bird life, or in those who are killing birds for the millions to dress hats with, are responsible for the wholesale destruc- ton of native song birds, or driving them away, more than the ever present or active sparrow. Anyhow we admire the sparrow for his persistence and pluck.-Reynoldsvi (Pa.) Volunteer.

Wellington in Early Life.

When young Wellington became aid de-camp to Lord Westmoreland, the lord lieutenant of Ireland, his acquaint- ance with the usages of society was as limited as could we'll be possessed by any lad who had passed through the ordeal of public school. Moore, the poet, who visited Dublin shortly before me, and who lived in much the same so- ciety as myself, alludes in his journal to the character for frivolity which young Wellesley had acquired while member of the vice regal staff.
 An old lady, one of his contemporaries, told me that when any of the Dublin belles received an invitation to picnic they stipulated as condition of its &C., ceptauce that "that mischievous boy, Arthur Wellesley, should not bs of tLe sAtty. ."-Nktionnl NSvt6w.

eyes that have long reflected your love. You want the room still. You do not
 want any curious strangers standing
 around watching you. You want your kindred from afar to hear your last
 prayer. 1 think that is the wish of all of us. But is that all? Can earthly friends hold us when the pillows of death come up to the girdle? Can human voice charm open heav- ems gate? Can human hands pilot us through the narrows of death into heavens harbor? Can an earthly friendship shield us from the arrows of death and in the hour when satan shall practice upon us his internal archery?
 No, no, no, no! Alas! poor soul, if that is all. Better die in the wilderness, far from tree shadow and from fountain, alone, vultures circling through the air waiting for our body, unknown to men,
 and to have no burial, if only Christ could say through the solitudes, 'I will
 never leave thee, will never forsake | thee." From that pillow of stone d lad | der would soar heavenward, angels com | ing and going; and across the solitude and the barrenness would come the
 sweet notes of heavenly mipstrelsy.
