The Extra Session.

In an interview with Col. John
w. Foney, formerly clerk of the
house of representatives, he is re-
ported to have said, in answer to
these questions
Glow long do you think the
extra session will last, and do you
believe it will run right along into
the regular one ?"
II don't think there is any doubt
of its continuing right along, and
as late as eleven months hence.
Besides the money question, the
tariff will be overhauled, and to
my mind there is infinitely more
danger in this than in all the fight
between gold and silver"
"Do you believe the president
will recommend any radical
changes in the tariff ?"
81 do not, considering the pres
ent financial uneasiness, and he
can we'll afford to take such posi-
ton without in the least doing any
violence to his past views on this
question. | believe, further, that
if he would so assure the country
it would have the most quoting
effect upon it. These are no times
for experiments, and especially
with our revenue laws, foreign or
internal. Settle our finances first
and then all things else will easily
adjust themselves. The world is
waiting to pour its millions of I'M
employed capital into this country
for investments, so the future is
all right five are only wise enough
to deal judiciously with the present,
and firmly believe that what con-
gress fails to do, public confidence
will make ample amends for"

d Novel Plea for Divorce.

The causes of conjugal infelicity
are like the stars in number, but
seldom have they been so curious
in character as those enumerated
by a witness in the divorce court
on Saturday.
Witness considered he was the
injured party, as the petitioner was
continually objecting to the shape
of his feet. (Laughter.)
He further said that when he had
his hair cut it was never done to
please the petitioner. (Laughter.)
She also used to say his upper
lip did not suit her.
She was continually blaming
him for leaving out his his in
speaking.
He was not so well up in theo-
logical subjects as his wife.
And there was sometimes a di-
vergence of opinion when they were
talking about the sermon they had
heard.
One is not surprised after this to
hear that one of the allegations
against the respondent is that he
had struck the petitioner with the
Methodist Magazine p'-Westmin-
ster Gazette.
