A Washington dispatch intimates that
Congressman Amos J. Cummings will
shortly spring a sensation upon the coun-
try. He will introduce bill providing
for the monthly payment of men in the
naval service, and accompany the intro
duction with statement that will sug-
gest that some people who had no bust
ness to do so have been putting their
fingers into Jacks wages. 1t is alleged
that under the existing system of leaving
to the commanding officers of vessels the
question of what sums the sailors shall
draw for spending money, each vessel
carries one or more "Shylocks, - and often
they are in the cabin. When Jack gets
shore-leaye he draws the pittance the
captain allows him, and, wanting more,
he goes to the "Shylock" and borrows it,
paying sometimes as much as
$40 premium on loan of
SIS for a few days. The usurer secures
himself by taking the seaman's order on
the paymaster 1t is alleged that an in
vestigation will be the outcome, and that
some high officers will be involved.

Judge Cooley's remarkable tribute to
President Cleveland, published in our dis
patches yesterday, is striking addition
to the literature of the great Debs strike.
The judges assertion that "a great and
valuable lesson on constitutional con-
struction has been settled for all time, "
indicates that the trouble was regarded
by him as involving questions of vital i'm
portance. Judge Cooley's eminence as an
authority on constitutional law makes his
expression one Of peculiar interest.

THE GIRL WITH THE BALLOON
 SLEEVES.

A pert young woman came into local theatre last night and took seat in the balcony. She was accompanied by two young men. She swaggered in and two or three of the people who sat near the seat she took looked at her curiously, the women remarking that she had on Q bright green dress,
 As soon as she was seated she looked around as if to say: "I'm pretty nice, ain't l ?" and then ostentatiously unbut- toned her jacket and threw back the lap pels. They were lined in red, and the red and green stood out like woodhouse in fog in that bright light The glaring combination of colors attracted the atten- tion of others, and it wasn't long before half of the people in the balcony were watching the young woman and wonder ing what she would do next She enjoyed it too. She tossed her head and glanced coquetishly over her shoulder, and then she pulled off the jacket.
 | She had on balloon sleeves. The jack ct had pressed them down. She gave a | little tug at one sleeve and pulled it up a | couple of inches. Then she gave a simi- | lar tug at the other sleeve and pulled it up, too. Then somebody laughed. The girl pulled up the first sleeve few inches more. She pulled up the otherone Two or three more people laughed. She look ed around. One of her escorts whispered 1 to her, but she shook her head angrily This brought it up to the top of her head and similar tug on the other sleeve put that in the same position. By this time her head resembled a baseball between two hams and half the people in the bal cony were laughing.
 The girl had nerve though. She gave | the laughers a run for their money. She yanked one sleeve desperately and | the puff lowered far above her head. She got the other one into the same position. Then she turned around and scowled de- fiantly at her tormentors and paid atten- l tion to the play.
 Two or three times during the action 1 she turned around and glanced about with | 8 look that intimated that she knew that she was all right and wanted the rest of the people in the balcony to understand | it. When the play was over she waited in her seat to get her jacket on. One ot her escorts held it up. Not man in the balcony or in the gallery stirred. The girl patted one of her sleeves. "Ah-h-h! said the boys in the gallery. She patted the other one. "Here," shouted young man who had been leaning over the raj

 THE MAN AND THE TIGER. The Man and Tiger found one day, That they were going both one way, And deemed that side by side to go We're better than to act the foe; Each might the other help extend, If he could treat him as friend. God had given reason to the Man; His was the power to think and plan. He could propose what might be done And see what it were best to shun. He could the chances all revolve, And on the wisest course resolve. The Tiger was endowed with might; None was match for him in fight. He was the one to capture prey, And battle if foes barred the way. When with the Man, he went along, What beast would dare to do them
 wrong?
 Now for time all went on well; : Their friendship naught to vex befell. The man walked onward like god, And at his side the tiger strode. But presently the two fell out, And teis is how it came about. They'd taken from the fold a lamb And must betwiXt them share the sane; |; But how should the division be? In this the two could not agree. Each thought he did the honor bear, And ought to have the larger share. "I found the fold" the Man averred, "And how the gate should be unbarred, 7, And saw the trap had been set there, And showed you how to avoid the snare By right the whole belongs to me; The entrals shall your portion be-"
 Mh2 faE the Mateehfd@1g @ j9t 9 the aark Who ventured in," the Tiger cries, "And from the fold secured the prize I'll not be cheated of my right,
 But will uphold it with my might" Neither would yield his point whit; Each wanted all that he could get, And so at length to blows they came How hotly did their passions flame; Each fought his purpose to attain, And in the strife the man was slain. When you've Tiger by your side, Be reason, not made blind by pride. Beware how you infiame his wrath; Lest you escape not without scath. If you, your greed do not refrain, He surely cannot his restrain. Conn. CHARLES H. BROWN.

 THe Woman's Signal, of London, says: "The woman question has at last pene- trated Afghanistan and touched the heart of the Ameer, who has requested that an English lady physician may be speedily sent to the palace. How much this means we can not estimate. But to our mind the Introduction of young English wo- man who has had enough character and courage to study medicine and go out to prat:tice her profession, and withal one who has the intrepidity to dare the jour ney to the capital of Afghanistan. is the most significant fact that has yet come to our knowledge concerning that strong hold of Oriental barbarism."
 The Pacific Medical Journal expresses the opinion that the hereditary evils of beer drinking exceed those WI h result from the use of distilled spirits. "First, because the habit is constant and without paroxysmal interruptions which admit of some recuperation; second, because beer drinking is practiced by both sexes more generally than spirit drinking; and, third, because the animalizing tendency of the habit is more uniformly developed, thus authorizing the presumption that the vic ious results are more generally transmit ted"
 The Wine and Spirit Gazette shows that the liquor sellers union is a great philanthropic institution, because the city of Brooklyn has just appropriated $95, 900 derived from liquor licenses, among the charitable institutions of that city. The rest of the money, about two millions, to care for the victims of the saloons in pauper houses, jails and penitentiaries, and to cover the police expenses of pro- tectfng the place against them, was raised by taxation en the people. Such ideas of benevolence would burn with blue flame. -Integi0r.
