Documents of the First Fourteen Con-
crosses Found In the Senate Basement.
The former assistant librarian of the
senate, Mr.. E. T. Cressey, has made a
most important discovery among the 49,
900 volumes, supposed to be useless,
which have been accommodating for years
in the basement of the senate wing of
the capitol. After a search of months
he has found 70 volumes, hitherto sup
posed not to be in existence, which com
prise the senate documents of the first 10
congresses and the house documents of
the first nine. The Congressional library,
the Boston public library and the British
museum are all without these, and the
addition of them to the senate library
makes it the most valuable in the world
for references of the proceedings, debates
and documents of congress.
Almost from the adoption of the con-
stitution all documents of the senate
and the house have been set aside in
small numbers for the secretary Of the
senate. These were kept in bad order,
if kept at all, and were scattered in vari-
BUS places. Just after the war, how
ever, they were all collected into the
senate library, which occupies a num-
Der Of almost impenetrable recesses in
the upper part of the senate wing and
also an equal number of still more diff
cult hooks and corners in the basement
near the heating machinery. This last
was a dry and safe D,1cu, Dut hardly any
body ever ventured within it's doors.
The 10000 volumes accumulated there
were all supposed to be extra ones. MI.
Cressey's discovery shows that they con
tain perhaps the richest single treasure
in the country.
The volumes are in a good state of
preservation, although they and many
others stacked in this UNEMPLOYED retreat
show traces Of the worms. Many of the
backs indeed are entirely gone, but the
pages are intact, and the senate library
may now boast that it has for reference
complete documents Of the senate and
the house, all except those of the senate
of the Second congress-.
A few of the 70 volumes are bound in
manuscript, just as they came from the
authors, and some of them, as it is be-
lieved, have never been printed. Dur
ing the first IA congresses none of the
documents was numbered, nor was their
character indicated by marks. Thus
each must carefully be examined to as
certain whether it is an executive or a
miscellaneous document or a committee
report.

Piling Up the Agony,

A convict in a German prison had been
extremely refractory. One morning the
warden said to the keeper: II say, Huber,
the scoundrel is acting worse than ever.

is already doing two fast days" Then
give him a cookbook to read."-San

Concerning the recent jail delivery
A. Potete, for quite while guard
there, says: There was only one
lock on the Jail when it should have
bad sixteen, That lock was on the
outside door There was no lo,k of
any kind on any of the cells. These
were all destroyed at the time Of the
fire in the old county Jail and have
never been replaced.
The door where the prisoners es-
capped had nothing but bar on the
inside for them 20 slide back There
was no lock aud was none on the out
side door where they went out
81 want to say, further, that the
jailer was in the building at the time
the prisoners escaped. to my certain
knowledge
The escaped prisoners were up for
horse stealing, and were desperate

court on Saturday last The other
was negro with many aliases. who
was serving a term !for larceny. The
negro's right name is said TO be Nose
Lyle. lie is well-known character
about town and has a faculty for get
ting into trouble.
On Saturday Fox was arraigned in
district court for horse stealing. His
queer actions caused comment and he
was adjudged insane. Sheriff Painter
had perfected all arrangements to
take Fox to the Jacksonville, ILL.,, asv-
lum this week.
The iall delivery occurred about $40
o'clock Monday evening Turnkey
jackson had entered the Jail with
food for the prisoners, and left the
lock hanging loose in the staple Fox
and Lyle were standing near the door
and while Jackson's back was turned
they lifted the lock from the staple
with piece of bent wire Hastily
opening the door they bounded over
jackson and out the door Gaining
the front corridor, both plunged
through window, carrying the sash
with them. Strangely. none OF the
other prisoners attempted to escape,
although it would have been an easy
matter to overpower the turnkey.
There is yet no clcw to the escaped
Jail birds. Since the delivery it is
current belief that Fox is Of sound
mind and only feigned insanity while
in court.

day he made a fiery speech, in the
course of which he sald his people
held their land by common and hon
orable agreement with the white
man, and which treaty said in the
white mans own tongue that they
(the Kickapoos) should hold this land
''as long as grass grows and water
ruus." That their dead were buried
there, the land was very dear to them,
that it had been sold by fraud and
without their consent, and that he
and his people would never take their

years, knows their ways well, and en-
joys their confidence as much as any
white man can.

Into the Office of Christian doctor
had come poor tired woman. who. as
she said, was worried about everything
day aud night she worried she could
mt help it. even her dreams were wor-
ried ones worried because home af-
fairs did not go right, worried, because
the church was not active as it ought
to be, possibly, dear sister, worried as
we are worried, because the temperance
work progresses so slowly. Listen to
what the good doctor said to her; may
not the same prescription help us?
"Did it ever occur to you that you
try to do your part and Gods part too?
Why not, moment by moment, simply
do the next thing? Only so much is re-
quired of humanity. Don't you think
the blessed Master is equal to His part?
! Why, yes, you do, of course: you have
always thought that. Well, suppose
you begin, and for just a minute act
upon that supposition nay, my friend,
act upon that fact, for it Is no suppose
ton. With the daylight, comes troop
ing into your mind every burden to be
carried for the day. Lay them off qui-
city, casting all your care upon One
who careth for you. Trust him, and
see him bring it to pass. Keep ever
present in your mind the Master. The
habit of continued thought prayer will
grow upon you. Let love and trust
and faith grow until they possess you
Drop absolutely out of your mind
thoughts of things that trouble you
You cannot do it? You can do it!
But remember, you are to do this just
moment at time Let the care slide
off. Do not assume the responsible
ties which belong to God. You cannot
keep your children. You cannot make
a revival. You cannot force people to
accept Christ. Let the blessed Master
keep your little ones. Oh, do get the
sweetness and peace which flow in like
a river when little ones and cares arc
given over to Christ! lie never will
fail you or your children. if you trust
Him"
