Return From Italy.
On Bonaparte S passage through Cham
berry, he had been visibly affected by a
shout from the multitude hailing him as
the father of his soldiers There were
countless homes in France into which the
letters of absent sons had sent the same
epithets, and the nation at large thought
of him in that part as a simple, benevolent
man, devoted to his country and to her
liberties. His histrionic talents, like his
other gifts were of the highest order and
for the moment this ideal must not be
shattered. He therefore appeared to the
French public as a devotee to the principle
of equality, which the revolution consid.

the time, may be read every detail of his
conduct. Instead of waiting for visits from
those in place, he made the advances. His

Social Equality Rules.

Whenever men are remanded TO situs-
tion where personal worth has sway, So
cial equality reappears among them. In
danger of any kind, in times of great hard
ship, in periods of struggle or suspense,
in moments of patriotic emotion, equality
again oharacterizes life and one man is as
good as another. In new countries, where
people live in the need of neighborhood
and kindliness, equality is the rule; they
laugh at the notion Of anything else. That
is the reason why equality was so long the
ideal of America for here we were every
where emancipated from the old olassifca-
tions by the necessity which knows no ETH
quette. We were forced to simplify our
selves The new world, while it was new,
had no use for the distinctions and differ
ences of an older civility, and the eastern

whole section incredulous of claims which
his own sophistication has admitted =

THE BOROUGH JUSTICES.

The question rs to how many Justices of
the Peace the boroughs of Shenandoah and
Nahanoy City are legally entitled to is still
agitatng the minds of the voters of these
twu towns and it will probably continue to
hc topic of much discussion until it is def
aitely settled by judicial decision Strictly
speaking it is not a new question, because it
has been raised before in this town, and

BROOKLYN, Feb. 24-Lillian Cecilia Ly-
ons. the 14-year-old daughter of Daniel
Lyons, of this city, was burned to death in
her bedroom yesterday. The fire started
through the accidental explosion of an oil
stove which had been used to heat the
room Lillian, who was an epileptic, was
in bed at the time. She was unable to
move without assistance. The bedclothes
quickly became ignited, and the girl was
enveloped in flames. The screams of the
girl attracted the attention of neighbors.
They succeeded in getting the girl from
the burning room but before physician
arrived she died in horrible agony.

The WEEK In CONGRESS.
House Working for an Adjournment by
the Middle of May.

the m1uule Oh may
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-The house Is
pushing ahead the appropriation bills with
all possible speed, with view to an early
final adjournment. Already five OF the
thirteen general appropriation bills have
been sent to the senate-the army, Mill
tary academy, urgent deficiency, diplo-
matte and consular and agricultural Ihe
District Of Columbia bill has in it several
disputed items, but will, it is believed
cause little trouble when it is again
brought into the house. The Indian bill
is now under consideration, and the legis-
lative, executive and judicial the next in
order is on the calendar. The naval and
postoilice bills will be brought in this
week. When these are disposed OF but
three will remain-the sundry civil, gen
eral deficiency and Notifications.
The house leaders are still hopeful that
some way can be found to secure action
on the tariff bill in the senate, but beyond
that there appears to be little chance for
general legislation, except perhaps BANK
ruptcy and. possibly, a Pacific railroad
bill Consequently they are hurrylng
along the appropriation bills and shaping
things for an early adjournment Mr
Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee stated to an Associated Press
reporter today that sine die adjournment
should be reached by the middle OF May
The probabilities are that the Cuban
question and the tariff bill as affected by
the silver substitute will divide the greater
part of the time of the senate during the
present week. There will be an effort to-
day by Senator Dubois, chairman of the
committee on public lands, to secure unan-
imous consent to lay the Cuban resolu-
tion aside to permit the consideration of
the bill extending the limitation of the
time in which suits may be brought TO Sc
cure the restoration of certain granted
lands to the government. The present
limitation expires in March, and the pres
ident has asked for immediate action.
Senator Morgan will continue his speech
on the Cuban question whenever that sub
| ject is again taken up. He probably will
consume the greater part of another day
in expounding his views and will be fol-
| lowed by other senator's, including several
| of the members of the committee on for
! eign relations, among them being Sena-
/ tors sherman, Gray and Turpie, 1t is
the purpose of the advocates of Cuban
recognition to keep the question as well to
| the front as they can until it shall be dis
posed or, though they are not hopeful of
securing vote this week.

of General Theodore Runyon, ambassador
to Berlin, took place today at st Paul's

Rev Henry Baker conducted the services,
being assisted by Bishop Andrews, Pre-
siding Elder Hammond and Rev. DIR.
