In the House.

The general deficiency bill is the last of the rCgular appropriation bills pass eI by the house of representatives. Most of the day was spent discussing the amendment to pay Great Britain $425 coo, the amount of damages agreed upon by Secretary Gresham and Sir Julian PaunCefutc to bc due that country under tho award of the Paris arbitration tri- bunal on account of tho seizure of some 20 Canadian soalcrS by tho United States pro vious to the modus vivendi of 1899.
 The amendment was strongly attacked by Messrs Cannon of Illinois, Henderson of Iowa and Hit of Illinois on the ground that the amount was unreasonably large that some of tho vessels were owned by citizens of tho United States and that SS76, ooO was for constructive or specula- tive damages (the estimated catch). Only $S1, 900, they contendcd, was duo Great Britain.
 MeSSrS. Breckinridge of kentucky, Me Creary of Kentucky, Hooker of Mississippi and Dinglcy of Maine supported the amend ment, maintaining that the government, no matter how bad the bargain, must car " out the award of the Paris tribunal in good faith. Mir. Dinglcy declared that it was preferable tO pay Great Britain S425, 900 than leave the assessment of damages to an umpire appointed by a foreign power.
 The amendment carried in committec but was defeated in the housc-1l2 to lI3 Some excitement was caused by the at tempt to strike out ill the house the apprO- priation for an extra months salary for the employees of the house and senate and the clerks of members, but it failed and the amendment prevailed-143 to los. Motions to reconsider and recommit were voted down as promptly as offered until the opposition dwindled to point when it could not get the yeas and nays. It then surrendered, and the bill was passed

A letter from W. F. Carman says: In
your paper find mention of rich find
at Dashur, where relics embellished
with the cross were found Some doubt
has existed as to relics bearing the cross
being genuine antiques. l have in my
possession q relic from Nineveh clutched
from destruction by my own hand while
excavating chamber in the southwest
angle of northwest palace of Nimrod,
one of the most ancient or Nineveh.
This relic cannot be less than 5000
years old. 1t has upon the upper surface
the Maltese cross and is surrounded by
buds of some flower. 1t is a lamp of
hard baked clay similar in material to
the cylinders whereon is recorded the
history of the time. Its antiquity, how
ever, has been doubted because it bears
cross. lean prove that the most ancient
relics found both at Nineveh and Baby
Ion have the cross as the most ancient
emblem of the sun. 1t is seen on the
necklace of the king and on the rock
sculperes of Bavian and elsewhere in
the ruins of Nineveh and vicinity

She Didn't Know.

My friend Mrs. B. is one of those
good natured women who are always
wanting to make other people comfort
able. She happened to be in the railway
station the other day; a man she knew
came in. He said he was going to Pitts
burg. Now, it happened that Mrs. B.,
whose husband is director, knew the
conductor of the Pittsburg train. He
passed through the waiting room just
then, and Mrs. B. called to him.
Conductor, said she, "this is my
especial friend, Mr.. Smith He is going
on your train, and want you to show
him every attention possible"
The conductor, of course, said he
would, but when he went away Mr..
Smith turned to Mrs. B., with sickly
smile.
II did intend to go to Pittsburg to-
day, and I was in an awful hurry, but,
on the whole, think I'll wait for the
next train
And he handed that kind hearted
woman slip of paper. 1t was pass,
but it was made out to one Jones. Fix
