A Rocky House.

A Mr.. johnson of Chicago lives in a
house on Wabash avenue which belongs
to the city school board. When the
houses were built in that neighborhood,
the land was soft and swampy, and piles
were driven to get a foundation. The
tops of these piles have rotted away and
left Mr.. Johnson's domicile in condi.
tion of SO unstable equilibrium that
whenever the wind blows hard, as it not
infrequently does in Chicago, the house
rolls and rocks like ship at sea. For
some time past Mr.. Johnson has found
himself subject to some unexplainable
malady. AS long as the weather was
quiet he was all right, but as soon as the
wind blew he was taken with violent
nausea. Finally it dawned on his mind
that his symptoms were precisely the
same as he suffered on trip which he
once made across the Atlantic, and he
called in physician, who said that he
was unquestionably seasick, and had a
bad case at that.-Chicago News.

WARRINGTON, June 26. = One OF the
plans CT this Congress, in which war
veterans are interested, is the bill intro
duced by Representative Henderson for a
national park on the battlefield OF
Snlloh, which was favorably re-
ported by Representative Cultivate,
oIOhio, from the committee on military
anairs. Nearly 100000 men participated
In the two days fighting at Shiloh. The
battlefield embraces 5000 acres
over which the State Of Tennessee will
grant Jurisdiction to the United States.
The bill gives the Government authority
TO institute condemnation proceeding
but to avoid entailing hardships upon
residents who desire to retain their homes
they Will be permitted to lease their
lands at nominal rent, on coalition
that they keep the grounds in good
order. Land can be acquired for s12
an acre, the report states. The roads are
unchanged since the battle was fought,
and 1T Is proposed to restore the field as
nearly as possible to its former con-
dition, the states co-operatinp
by erecting tablets to mark the stands
OF their regiments. 1t is proposed to have
the work done by a committee of three
veterans, one OF whom served in the army
OF the Tennessee under General Grant,
one from the army of the Ohio commanded
by General Buell., and one from General
Johnston's Confederate army Of Missis-

From the tenor of discussion In commit

which has been raised is against the clause
providing imprisonment not exceeding
