joint statement showing the estimate,
for appropriations by bills for 1896. which
is as follows: Agricultural, 81. 400, $50:
army, $4,000. 652; diplomatic and con-
Sular, sl,5s3,llS; District Of Columbia.

fee, s9l, O59, 9s3; river and harbor. 81 .475.-
900; sundry civil, $40, 3s3, SIS. This is a

mates for 1895 and of slT,5OO, 7G2 over the
actual appropriations for 1895. The
principal increase is in the sundrv civil

Chairman Babcock of the republican

SONGS OF SERBNADE.

One night beneath my window. when
The stars bright above,
The music Of q mandolin,
Blent with lay Of love,
Came stealing through the stiffness like
The balmy breath Of spring;
Iopened up my window blinds
And heard a singer sing:
Cupid lie an archer and his arrows ever set,
And swift and the aies from a falconet
His bow is ever trusty and his aim is ever true.
Be wary OF the archer when his arrows aimed at you
At first only fingered there
To listen for while,
And thought the singer only sang
The hours to beguile.
Ny heart began to tremble with
The touch OF every string.
Iopened wide my window blinds
And heard the singer sing:
Cupid is archer. and his arrows set,
And swift and the flies, as from a falconet;
His bow is ever trusty and his aim is ever true
Be wary Of the archer when his aimed at your!
The weary day I'm Warrington
The twilight shades to fall,
And where the tangled woodland waves
hear the lone dove call.
The song of running brooklets and
thousand birds awning
My eager ears will hear not,
When my love begins to sing:
cupid is an archer. and his arrows set,
And swift and sure the arrow flies as f.Om falconet;
His bow is ever trusty and his aim is ever true.
Be wary of the archer when his bow is aimed at you
