Good Enough For n Gift.

An animal dealer on West Madison street was busy stufling snakeskin with hay Friday when an angry man entered his place and said:
 1.-TWO weeks ago I came here and pur- chased dog that you warranted to be safe and gentle. wanted it for the children to play with and told you so, and you charged me S2O for the beast Do you remember:'
 "Yes, I believe do. Good dog that
 "You think so. eh: Well, I don't, and want my money back 1 took the beast home and turned him loUSc and went down town. And the first thing that dog did was to tree my aged grand father. It took the whole neighborhood to subdue the animal, and then kept him tied I'D for 10 days so he could get used to us. The day I let him loose again I wheeled an invalid aunt onto the porch i'll her chair. Iwcnt away fol a few minutes, and when l returned tht dog had eaten part of the old lady. III, has bitten every child on the block, and when 6 burglar ransacked the house on' night the dog crawled under the Porcf and went into a trance Now, you forl over that S20, or I'll break up youi menagerie"
 Bring back the dog" said the deal CT pleasantly, land you'll have youl money. I've had a row with a neighbOl of mine, and I'll make him present O the dog as a peace offering. ''-ChicaS' Tribune.

and the commission business for 1 3 years and then entered public life as congress man at large from Arkansas in the For ty-eighth congress. He was reelected to the Forty-ninth and Fifticth con- gresses and entered the Fifty-f first con- gross, but, owing to tho sensational Clayton -Breckinridge contest, was un- seated. His constituents at once re-elect- ed him to fill his unexpired term and later sent him to the present congress. During his 10 years of service at Wash ington he has been a member of many important committees and is at present on the ways and means committee. He has been MT. Wilson's right hand man in the framing and management Of the tariff bill.
 MT. Breckinridgc is man of wide reading, is an entertaining conversation ist and has the courtlincss and polish of a thorough gentleman. His wife, like her husband, is equal to any social duty that the Russian mission may ex- act. w. C. P. Breckinridgc of Kentucky is his cousin.

 Mrs. Debs is very indignant over the charge that her husband organized the recent strike from mercenary motives. ''He is anything but mercenary He re- fused salary of SEQ, 900 year from the locomotive firemen and took his present position at $3, 000-a paltry sum when his abilities are considered. He has always been the friend of the poor, and his sympathies are ever with the oppressed. He is always on the side of the under dog in the fight
 In speaking of her husband further she said: Mir Debs is a very domestic man. He spends all his evenings al home and has no outside pleasures We have a very fine library, and Eugene takes all the periodicals and reads them thoroughly. He is a great admirer of Shakespeare and Victor Hugo, and his middle name, Victor, was given him ill honor of the great Frenchman. Every. body who knows Eugene likes him. Ii his worst enemy came into the room where he was and remained half all hour, he would be sure to go away a friend. He is not a society man. and his home and his books are all his pleas uraS r

Wizards of High Degree.

Russian Fins, or 'Roosian" Fins, as Jacky has it, were, and are yet. wizards of high degree. says Lieutenant J. D. Jerrold Kelley in an article on Super stitions of the Sea" ill The Century. Hurricanes blew, calms beset, gales roared as they willed, and their incar- tations began to operate by the simple sticking of knife in the mast. If they wished to drive the rats out of vessel, they showed the point of a snicker snee into the deck, and every rat ran for the sharp blade and willy nilly per formed hara kiri. No one ever saw in sailor lore penniless Russian Finn, for by slipping his hand into his pocket he can always produce gold doubloon why a gold doublOon no one seems to know, but 1t is always that coin. His rum bottle, often consulted silently and alone, is never full nor empty-a gentle plashiug of the tide-half tide bringing fat content, and woe be to the incautious mariner who bites the weather side of his thumb at him, for harm will surely follow

ing n country school in Hillside coun- ty, Mich, when he was but IS years of age. In 1853 he entered the Michigan State Normal school and enjoyed the honor of being the first male graduate the following year. His ability was so greatly admired at the school that he was at once engaged as professor of English, and in 1858 and 1859 he acted as principal.
 In 1863 Mir. Sill became the first su- perintcndent of Detroit's public schools and served two years. He then resign ed to accept the presidency of the De troit Female seminary. After 10 years of hard work he again became superin- tendent of the public schools of Detroit. In 1SS6 he returned to tho post of prin- cipal in the Michigan State Normal school, a position he retained until 1893.
 He has published several well known educational works; has taken the orders of the Episcopalian church. He is short and stout. looks like q cleric, bears his 63 years with becoming dignity and is thorough scholar and gentleman. He is a strong willed. determined man and an able opponent in controversy. Ir addition to the offices already mentioned MT. Sill was president of the Michigan State Teachers association in 1861 and 1862, a mcmber of the Detroit board o' education fCr two years and one of tho board of regents of the University oi Michigan from 1867 to 1869. He ha: long been interested in Korea and it! people and was well informed about th' strange country before he set foot upor its soil

Ranid I.amp Lighting.

Passengers on the bridge cars in the carly evening have noticed the tall. lanky individual who fills and lights the oil lamps in tho cars. He stands about feet inches high and is very thin. His height is valuable to him in his present occupation in reaching for
 the lamps. This he docs with the aid of
 small box, while a shorter man would
 need ladder.
 The swiftnoss with which he works is marvellous He says it comes of long practice. He will board n train coming in at the Brooklyn station before the last passenger has left the cars and will then busy himself with his oil can and box.
 In each bridge car there are at least
 eight lamps, while some carry ten. This
 makes at least 32 lamps in train of four cars. The lamplighter must fill ev- cry lamp in each car in the short time | it takes to switch the train from one track to the other. He does not even have time to extinguish the light, but | must pour the oil in while the lamp is | burning.
 This ightninglike work must be con | tinued until every ear is illuminated. He no sooner gets through with onG | train than another demands his atten tion, but he gets them all lighted with out the least trouble. New York Her

A DAYS LESSON.

Bend to the breeze. 'Tis the lesson the grasses Teach us each day in their lowly estate Better to bend meath the storm as 1t passes Than to be broke. by pitiless fate. Bend but a little, the cloud will pass over; Then in the lull you can lift up your head Straighten yourselves like the grass and the
 clover:
 Better be bruised and be living than dead. stand like a rockI'' That may do for a hero Covered with mail and well used to his lance, But there are mortals, too many, as we know, Weakened by failure, cOerced by a glance. Never give up." It is easy to say it When all your weapons in order are found. Courage grows fast when we need not dis
 play fl;
 All can be brave when the lions are bound. Nothing succeeds like success" that is cer-
 tain,
 True as the gospel in these latter days Put out the footlights and ring down the cur
 tain
 If you have nothing that people must praise. Bend to the breeze. 'Tis thelesson the grasses Teach us today; 'tis a lesson of love; Bend till the storm of diversity passes And the glad sunshine is once more above.

Crisp Secs Cleveland.

wAsuINGToN, July 27.-Speakcr Crisp was again at the White House, and his visit with the president caused n renewal of the comment as to the interest of tho administration in supporting the tariff position of tho house. Mir. Crisp declined to say anything concerning the conference or to even intimate whether the tariff deadlock between tho houses was a sub ject of discussion.
 Representatives Kilgorc of Texas and Bynum of Indiana the latter n member of the ways and means committee, also saw the president. Mir. Kilgorc is cndcav- bring to stem the tide in the house which has set in for the last two days toward a concession to most, if not all, that tho senate asked. He thinks that the house will yet win the struggle and so told the president.
 To his callers the president expressed the same determination shown in the lot ter to Chairman Wilson. It was evident to them that he was very fixed In his view of the justice of the contention hc had presented, and that there was no disposi- tion to wavcr from 1t except through such | mutual compromises as would give the house at least n good sharc of the conces- sions.

The ladies will also hold teas and crochet enough fancy work to stock bazaar.
 Captain Porter's little girl is tiny maid of summers, who is wearing one of tho smallest sealskin sacks ever made, and who will never forget tho wonders of the arctics, so deeply will they bo impressed upon her baby mind. Master Bert Weeks will study the whale, and the seal, and the walrus in their native haunts and will see strange lands, strange animals and fish and strange people that few little boys have ever before had the opportunity of studying as he will study them. Tho fleet is coal ed and provisioned for three years, and that time will probably pass before the whalcrs, laden with rich stores of bone and oil, return to civilization again.

The Tarin situation.

WASHINGTON, July 27. Republican tactics prevented the Democrats of tho senate from putting into effect the pro- gramme arranged in caucus. They did not succeed in getting the bill back into conference. as they had hoped to do, but they cleared the way so far as they were able to do so, having Senators Villas and Gallery withdraw their motions for the instruction of the conferees and by voting down Senator Hills motions with the aid of the Republicans.
 But for the fact that the Republican side of the chamber took up MT. Villas idea the bill would have been referred back before the close of tho days session. The Democrats are not so much worried over the motion as put by Mir Washburn to instruct the senate conferces to TO- cede from the portion of the sugar amend ment providing for a differential duty of one-cighth of a cent on refined sugar-as they were over the resolution to the same effect offered a few days since by Senator Villas.
 Having secured Mir. Villas pledge to stand with them to return the bill to con- ference, which goes far enough to secure | his vote against the pending motion, not | withstanding it Is the same in effect that he had been defending with such vigor, | they feel that that breach is healed and count upon a full Democratic vote, with two exceptions against the motion. These | exceptions are Senators Hill and Irby. Senator Irby has gone away from the city, but before going ho left authority with Senator Hill to pair him for the washburn motion and against sustaining the chair on q decision favorable to Sena- tor Gray's point of order against the mo tion.
 The Republicans also claim that be sides securing these two Democratic votes | either on the motion direct or against a decision of the chair, they will have the | full support of their own party and also the votes of Senators Allen, Kyle and Pef- fer, Populists The only doubtful vote they claim is that of Senator Stewart, whose vote they believe, if given for the motion, would cause 1t to carry Republican leaders express the opinion that vote will be reached today. Thoy are too anxious about the result to express any opinion and are conducting a vory I careful campaign. Democrats, while pub licly expressing confidence, privately ad- init that the situation is precarious, and 1t Is very evident from their manner they will be glad to have the crisis passed

 of the Frozen North.
 About this time the white polar bears and the seals and walruses of tho great frozen north are being surprised by the strains of q grand piano, the words of "Daisy Bell" and tho laughing voices of not only men, but women and chil- dren as well. The explanation of this apparent anomaly is the fact that scv- eral women and children accompany the fleet of the Pacific Steam Whaling com pany in its long cruise near Point Bar row this year, and that q piano, danc- ing and other means of amusement are now being utilized to while away the time while waiting for the cry of There she blowsr'
 Tho voyages of the fleet last from two to three years, and on the present trip several of the captains were so anxious to have their families accompany them that they gladly paid $l,OO0 each for the privilege. The veteran among the women is Mrs. Green, wife of Captain Green of the Alexander. She has seen a great deal of whales and whaling and knows more about the great leviathans of the deep than the average woman does l about fancy work. On the Jesse H.

MINISTER WHITES SUCCESSOR.
Career of Clifton R. Breckinridge. Our New
 Representative nt St. Petersburg.

heprescntatlkc ht
 Clifton R. Brccllinridge of Arkansas, who succeeds Andrew D. White as United States minister to Russia, re- gently sought renomination to congress, but was defeated at the primaries by his constituents, who were not in accord with his antisilver views. Inasmuch as support of Mir. Cleveland's policy cost him his seat, the president rewarded him by sending him to Russia. MT. Breckinridge is a son of John c. Breck. inridge, vice president under Buchanan, and was born at Lexington, Ky, 47 years ago. When the war began, he was only Is years of age, but he enter ed the Confederate service when the struggle was half over and served the remainder of the time as private soldier and midshipman.
 After the war he attended Washing ton college, Virginia, and removed to Arkansas in 1870 to engage in cotton planting. He followed this occupation
