met by the brethren and conveyed to Bro.

We spent our last night in Scotland

Though we had many pressing invita-.
tons, this being the first we accepted it.
1t was with no small degree of sadness
that we parted with so many kind friends
in that portion Of Halifax. We can not
mention all by name, but will take this
method of thanking you all for youi
uniform kindness aud courtesy to US dur>
ing our three years soiourn in your
midst, especially in getting our furniture
to the depot and in conveying my fani-
" to the railroad. The only return we
can make you all for this kindness, is our
thanks and gratitude.
We can not designate all by name, but
will send ou~ best wishes to our neigh

When we reached our new home, there
were no signs Of nervous pumping TO
spout up an enthusiasm over our arrival.
but when we walked into the parsonage
we found that this people know exactly
how to bestow their klnd1 ess where ant
when it would be most appreciated. We
found our pantry we'll filled With provis>
ions Of all description and many other
articles on the dining hall floor. We
found much provisions laii up for many
DAYS besides other substantial articles
all Of which would make too long let
ter, If should attempt to itenr2e. It
would have been first class pounding,
had it not anticipated our occupancy by
a few ho1rs. If Scotland Neck does
not do the handsome thing by Bro. Nann
it will certainly fall behind Aulander

A Blue Law Sabbath.

81 was born in Massachusetts" said
he, "and reared in a strict Puritan fam
lily. The Sabbath commenced on Satur-
day night, when we children were re-
quired to study the Scriptural lesson for
the next day. After an early breakfast
next morning we went at our lesson
again until church time. The morn
ing service was from 10 to 10 o'clock,
composed chiefly of long winded SER
mon, during which we were required to
keep awake, pay strict attention and be-
have ourselves. This was followed by
Sunday school, where we recited our
lessons correctly or suffered severe con-
sequences.
CATER cold lunch at home, for moth
ing was cooked on Sunday, we attended
church again from Q until p. m. The
interval between this time and o'clock
prayer meeting was occupied with re-
ligious reading or reflection, no frivolous
games or diversions being permitted on
this solemn day. As a special dispensa-
ton we were given hot tea for supper.
Prayer meeting was out at 8 o'clock, and
from that hour until bed time we sat
quietly at home reading such thrilling
and interesting works, especially to chill

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The conflict
between the workingmen at Homestead,
Pa, and Pinkerton guards was called to
the attention OF the senate today, first
by Gallinger, who offered a resolution
for an investigation by the committee
on education and labor, and after
wards by PETER, who proposed the ap-
pointment of select committee of three
senators of the different political par
ties to enquire into the existence and
employment OF Pinkerton guards since
their first appearance in the United
States"
The senate bill to increase the pen
sions of those who lost limbs in the
service OF the United States, and which
will add $700.500 to the pension charge,

was, after its provisions were consid-
erably extended, recommitted to the
committee on pensions.

Fiiibustering Against the Senate Free
Coinage Bill.

Fiiibuste ring Against the Senate Free
Coinage Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The house
waited all day Tor working quorum or
report from the committee on rules.
The anti-silver Democrats had suffi-
cient number of members to call the
yeas and nays on any motion and they
flibustered whenever silver came to the
fore.
In the first place, the house refused to
refer the silver bill to the committee on
banking and currency-yeas 43, nays
153.
A motion to reconsider was made, and
motion to table the motion to recon-
slider followed and was agreed to-157 to
38.
Bland moved it's reference to the COM
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures. The anti-silver Democrats then
began flibustering. Soon four dilatory
motions were pending, and the opposi-
tion to the bill was strong enough to call
the yeas and nays on each.
Finally filibustering was suspended in
order to permit the transaction of other
business.
The river and harbor conference re.
port was agreed to, and the diplomatic
and consular conference report was de-
bated without action. Adjourned.

HOW n1en oarrx Their Hands.

"A sure Indication of character is
found in the way in which man car
ries his hands," said G. q. Clarke, of
Boston. "You notice men on the streets.
See the young man with swinging arms
and palms which are displayed to all
who take the trouble to look. He is one
of that class whose heart is as open as
his hands. He is frank, unsuspicious, a
free spender and believer in the hon
esty of his fellows. Notice the business
man more advanced in years. His hands
are always closed SO tightly that he
gives you the impression he is ever ex-
pecting an attack. This is the attitude
of men bent upon certain object. IT
is an attitude which displays the quail
ties of determination and fight.
SIN debate you will observe some OF
our lawmakers emphasize statement
by hammering the desk before them
with their knuckles, while others, ap-
parently equally impassioned, are salts
fed with the use of the palm. You may
rest assured that if sheer determination
will succeed, the man who applies his
knuckles will win before his colleague
who uses his palm. "-St. Louis Globe

ferred to the coinage committee, decided
this morning not to obstruct the
river and harbor appropriation
bill nor the diplomatic bill.
1t was said this evening that the anti
silver Democrats had concluded to re-
frain from further opposition to the
reference of the silver bill to the coinage
committee.
The Democratic members of the rules
committee, in conference this afternoon,
agreed to report to the full committee
tomorrow morning, resolution fixing
Friday as suspension day when tariff
bills, the Utah local government, and
some other measures will be voted on /;
the rules to be suspended by
a majority vote, instead of as heretofore,
by two-thirds vote, and the difference
is very material to the silver men, for
under the frst-named order they may
see their way clear to rush the silver
bill through.
A member said today that of twelve
members of the coinage committee now
in Washington, seven are favorable to
the bill and five opposed. The free
silver members feel confident that moth
ing stands in the way of favorable
report from the committee.
Tracey opposed the bill more Htrenu-
ously today, because he said it is known
the president will not veto it if 1t reaches
him.
