Nk. VEST NOf SATISFIED.
The Senat0r Seeking Chance to Bring
up the Sugar Matter Again.

. WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Vest WAS engaged the greater part
OF yesterday in trying to find an
opening for the revival of his effort
to get up the bill striking out the
ditferentlal duty on refined sugar.
He is not satisfied with the adverse
result of his former trial and is now
quoted as saying that he wants an
other opportunity TO testthe pleasure
of the Senate on this proposition.
| The outlook for an early move in
this direction is not very good, for it
is understood that Mr.. Turpie, when
he shall conclude his speech on the
Nicaragua canal, will be followed by
Mr.. Morgan, who will also probably
talk at length in reply. In view
OF this state of affairs it is under
stood that Mr.. Vest is becoming
somewhat doubtful as to whether he
would find an opening before the
Christmas holidays. If the oppor-
tunity should present itself, howev-
er, there is little doubt that he will
take advantage of it.
! Cockroach Nest in Il WOmaMs Ear.
| HAzLETON, Penn, Dec. 19.-Last
Sunday Mrs. Emma Fly of 49Canal
street, West Bethlehem, felt pecu'
liar sensation in her right ear. She
thought it was the result of cold,
and applied family remedy. She
obtained no relief, and her head be.
gan to ache violently. Her husband
bought some camphorsted oil, which
she applied to the affected ear and
felt better. Friday her husband
blew tobacco smoke into her ear and
was startled to see live roach creep
out, and several others followed.
To-day several dead reaches OF var
| ious sizes were extracted with hair
pin. In all Il were lodged in her
ear. Mrs Fly is not much improved.
She cannot hear with the organ at
all. She cannot explain how the
reaches got into her ear. Her only
solution is that they must have
crawled into the ear while she slept.

A Grand Meeting.


"Behold how good and pleasant
it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity" quotes Ben Blantcn in the
Monroe County Appeal. At Meth
odist revival at Fulton last week
music was rendered by choir from
all the churches, prayer was offered
by the pastor of the Christian church,
the text was read by another minis
ter, the sermon was preached by the
Methodist minister, and most stir
ring and eloquent invitation was
given by the pastor of the Baptist
church. Nine persons went forward
and their confessions were taken by
Presbyterian and Baptist minis
ter. The meeting was held in a Pres.
byterian church and so it has been
there for a month, with a result OF
nearly 400 additions to the various
churches. 1t pays for Christian
people to pull together.

In some ways it is easier to be poo,
in the city than in the country, becaus,
the former has so many cheap treats a
hand. On the other side, it is much
easier to be ambitious, envious and dis.
contentedly %extravagant in the city,
because so wide a gulf separates rich
and poor. In country life (which in.
cludes that of villagcsand small towns)
the wcll-to-do live very much as do
those with half their income. There
is a wide level that means only the
middle class in urban life. Few, COM
paratively. fall below it or rise above
1t in bucolic neighborhoods. Comforts
are common, but expensive clegancies
are deemed extravaganza by most of the
country rich, There is little of that
sharp distinction, for example, exist
ing in towns between those who do and
who not keep carriage. "-Philadel-
