THE WORK OF CONGRESS
RESUME OF PROsEEDINGS OF THE
SENATE AND HOUSE.
Condensed Record OF the Important
transactions of Our National Law
makers-The Work Done in Both
Branches.

WashiI gton, Jan. 24-The house to-
day determined the abolition of the duty
rIon refined sugar which was passed
iron Just before the house adjourned
ls st night, as an amendment to an amend
ment offered by Mr.. Robertson, one OF
the Louisiana sugar men. A way out of
the confusion which existed upon the et-
feet of the amendment adopted last night
was found after a two hours discussion
of the parliamentary situation by sub
mitting the question to the house as to
whether the Warner amendment placing
refined sugar on the free list should be
considered as q substitute for the Robert
son amendment. This was decided af-
iii matively, and then by an overwhelming
vote in which the Republicans joined with
the radical Democrats against the sugar
men and several members of the ways
end means committee, the substitute was
adopted. With regard to the sugar
schedule, therefore, the committee of the
whole has abolished the bounty and
placed all sugar, both raw and refined.
upon the free list. When it came to
consider the coal schedule however, the
committee Jared much better and all four
of the amendments designed to place
duty of from 40 to Is cents per ton upon
coal were beaten. The debate upon the
coal schedule developed Il great deal of
feeling among the Southern members,
especially those from Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Alabama, whose
states are interested either in coal or
iron ore. The general impression Is that
the defeat of the sugar men and of those
who are interested in retaining duty
upon coal will result in strengthening the
movement developed on the Democratic
side to recommit the bill. If the iron men
are defeated, and especially if the income
tax should be placed upon the bill as
rider later in the week, another strong
faction on the Democratic side will be
added to this movement. The Republic
ans will all vote for the motion to re-
commit, and, with the Democrats who do
not care to vote against the bill outright
and who are not satisfied with it in its
present form, they may be able to muster
a majority to send it back to the COM
mittee This is now admitted on all
hands to be the chief danger to the bill.
If it could be brought to a direct vote
there is no question about it passing.
Mr.. Haugen rep. Wis., said he de
sired ON the part of the iron men Of tbs
Lake Superior district to enter protest
against the proposed abOntlOn OF the Cuty
on iron ore. Mr.. Blair Rep. n. H. took
the floor and was speaking when the
time arrived for a recess.
The feature of the day in the senate
was speech by Senator Cullom. He ar
raigned the administration for its Ha-
H'aian policy, and declared that Com
missioner Blount, had he been il. any
other country, would have been shot as
SPY and traitor, as was Maj. Andre in
America hundred years ago.

Poodle and Lamb.

Not long ago 1 was passing a barn
yard in this place and stood to look
over the gate at a pretty half grown
lamb standing alone outside the barn.
But the sight of me so enraged a
fierce, shaggy gray dog tied up to
his kennel between the lamb and me
that he barLed himself nearly into
fits, showing all his teeth and strain
ing so furiously at his chain as to
make me quite nervous lest it should
give way. In the meantime 1 struck
such terror into the heart of the
lamb that it fed across the yard to
place itself under the protection of
the dog and stood close by his side
while he barked and danced with
fury.
AS drew little nearer the lamb
backed right i2to the kennel, and
when, after had made circuit in
order to watch the further move

faces cautiously looking out together.

Fox and Cromwell.

One day Fox, riding into town from
Kingston, caught sight of Cromwell's
coach near Hyde park and pushed
toward it. The guards would have
driven him back, but the protector
recognized him and shouted to them
to let him pass
The two men talked together ear
nestly till they reached st. James,
when they parted, with a promise
from Fox to attend next day at White
hall. Il can give you good news, >
laughed the protector to one of his
wife's maids as he entered the palace
''BIr. Fox is come to town" When
they met next day, the stern old
warrior was in one of those playful
moods into which, as troubles thick
ened about him, he less and less fire.
quently lapsed.
Seated carelessly upon the edge OF
a table, he bantered the Quaker un-
ceasingly and dismissed him with
the laughing but extremely true re-
Election that his self satisfaction was
by no means the least part of him.
A year or so later Fox saw him for
the last time. He met him riding
into Hampton. Before 1 came to
him, - he writes, ''as he rode at the
head of his life guards, 1 saw and
felt a watt of death go forth against
him" A few nights later, while a
terrific storm was raging over Lon.

THE NIGHT WIND.


Have you ever heard the wind go sYooooos"
IT'S a pit5ful sound 10 Ieari
il seems ID chill you through and through
With strange and speeohless fear.
It's the voice of the night that broods outside
When folks should be asleep.
And many and many's the time I've cried
To the darkness that brooded far and wide
Over the land and deep,
s-YVhom do you want, o lonely night,
That you vail the long hours through"
And the night would say in-hs ghostly way,
.'YooooooOoi

Ny mother told me long ago,
When was little lad,
That when the night went wailing SO,
Somebody hal been bad,
And then when was snug in bed,
Whittier had been sent,
With the blankets drawn up round my head,
I'd think OF what my mother'd said
And wonder what boy she meanti
And who's been bad todaylr I'd ask
OF the wind that hoarsely blew,
And thatvoice would say in its awful way,
'.YoOooooOo!
YoooOOoool
YoOoOOoooir
That this was true must allow
You'll not believe it, thought
Yes, though I'm quite model now.

And if you doubt what things say,
Suppose you mako the test.
Suppose, when you've been bad some day
And up to bed arc sent away
From mother and the rest
Suppose you ask ..NYho has been bad2''
And then you'll hear what's true,
For the wind will moan in its ruefulest tone,

She swa1lowed an umhrella.

A New Castle correspondent to the
Pittsburg TiIes is responsible for
this story: Several days ago a COW
belonging to Thomas Jennings of
West New Castle became very i'll.
She refused to eat and seemed to suf-
fer extreme pain. DR.. W. Coleman,
a veterinary surgeon, concluded the
cow was suffering from the effects
of some foreign substance in her
stomach. He made large fncision
in the cows side, and in doing so his
knife scraped AN iron substance.
After some little work he succeeded
in removing an entire umbrella.
The ribs had become loose from the
handle and worked their way
through the lining of the stomach.
They were easily pulled out. The
handle was next recovered, and to it
was clinging the cover of 81 inch
umbrella How the cow managed to
swallow it is a mystery. The COW
will recover.

Talking of Jim Crow, how many
people in Louisville know that the
original was a Louisville darly9 1t
was some time before the war when
a famous song and d,-nce comedian,
playing an engagement at Louisville,
saw from the window of his room a
certain darby who was a character
of his day, cutting up the most ex-
traordinary capers to the tune of
Turn About and Wheel About and
Jump, Jim Grow"
The comedian, struck by the pos
sibilities of performance founded
upon this original, made or caused
to be made number of verses to fit
this refrain, and thereafter repro
duced upon the stage the untutored
performance OF the original James,
to the delight and admiration of
thousands. Who the actor was 1 have
forgotten. The darky's name really
was James Crow, and he belonged to
a livery stable keeper, in whose yard,
near the hotel where the comedian
was staying, the original Jim Grow
dance was performed for the amuse-
ment of such as loafed there. think
the hotel was the old Gait House.

When War is Declared

Against a mans happiness by his stom-
aeh, the enemy may be pacified and
brought speedily and easily to terms.
That potent regulator of digestion. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. disciplines the
rebellious organ thoroughly Indiges-
ton arises from weakness of the stom-
ach, and the food in it, for want of the
power to digest, deeomposes and acidi-
fies. giving rise to heartburn, fiatulence
and pain, besides multitude of symp-
toms both changeful and perplexing.
But peace soon reigns when the great
stomach is resorted to and used with
persistence. Dyspepsia gives rise to
morbid discomposure of mind, and even
sleeplessness and hypochondria in
chronic cases, To the complete dismis-
sal of these the Bitters is fully adequate.
Liver complaint, constipation, debility,
rheumatism and malaria are completely
subdued by this genial medicine.

his dispatch started and to shut me

plain that was one great glare of

He was the faster runner and ap-
peared to have everything his own
way, but suddenly he slipped and
rolled down the side of a gulley, to
bring up at the bottom badly hurt.

Pnrk Squirrels as Pets.

An interesting scene is witnessed
at the Central park zoo at z o'clock
every morning. Punctually at that
hour, rain or shine, a tall, gray
haired man of military bearing APP
proaches the wooded lawn just north
of the Dannemouth arch and raps
loudly with his cane on the wire rail
ing that borders the path. In an in
slant dozen or more nimble gray
squirrels spryly climb down the neigh
boring trees and skip across the grass
to the feet of the man who seems to
thus exercise a peculiar power over
them. The secret of his charm is
soon divulged, for he pulls out a
handful of peanuts from capacious
pocket and scatters them among his
visitors.-New York Letter.

that Jesse j. Cordial was one among
the most worthy County Supcrin-
tondonts whose name ever graccd
the records Of Lawrence county.
And such a slur aud insinuation
Of Jesse j. Cordial is an insult to the
whole Cordial generation, who are
one OF the most generous and kind

favor or an insult.
Although Jesse J. has passed in
