WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The friends
of the tariff bill in the senate have
found it expedient to change their
plans somewhat, and instead of taking
up the tariff Immediately will post
pone its consideration until after all
the appropriation bills which have
been reported from the committee
shall be disposed OF. 1t is believed
that these measures will monopol re
tho greater mart OF the senate for the
next week. Other questions will ill.,
tervene, so that it now looks as if the
vote ON the tariff or the silver sub
stitute will be deferred until week
after next at the earliest. A prom.
inent republican member of the COM
mittee on finance yesterday expressed
the opinion that the Silver substitute
would be defeated by at least 10
majority He said thut not to exceed
four OF the silver republicans would
vote for the substitute. With this
disposed OF, he thinks the tariff bill
will pass with a full republican vote,
aided by the votes of ct least three OF
the populists.

WAsuINGToN, Feb. 12.-It now
looks as if Senator Quay was about
to abandon his idea of recommitting
to the senate finance committee
the silver substitute which that COM
mittee brought out instead of the
of the tariff bill He has become cog
INFANT OF the fact that if his motion
were to succeed the tariff bill would
be Just in as bad condition as it was
before, for the reason that as Jones of
Nevada has the deciding vote he would
not agree to report the tariff bill now,
as he has not changed his views.
Morrill, has secured his consent that
the tariff bill without action of the
committee shall go upon the boards
for discussion. The democrats have
agreed 10 this, in all probability be-
cause they feel that they can whip it
on vote. The populists are said to
have agreed in their eau ,us that they
would not support the tariff bill, and
this being the case it can not pass.
There is another reason why the
democrats agreed that the tariff bill
should come up, and that is because
they want to talk on 1t to some extent,
as they believe that it will do some
thing toward harmonizing the party
throughout the country and bring to
the front the tariff question and have
the effect of stopping tie quarrel over
the silver matter, which is now an
moving the leaders TO such great

Here is a description of most re-
markable clock belonging to Hindoo
prisce. Near the dial of an ordinary
looking clock is large gong hung on
poles, while underneath, scattered on
the ground, is pile of artificial human
skulls, ribs, legs and arms, the whole
number of bones in the pile being
equal to the number of bones in twelve
human skeletons. When the hands of
the clock indicate the hour of the
number of bones needed to form a COM
plete human skeleton come together
with a snap. BY some mechanical con-
trivance the skeleton springs up, seizes
a mallet, and, walking up to the gong,
strikes one blow This finished, it re-
turns to the pile and again falls to
pieces. At o'clock two skeletons get
up and strike, while at the hours of
noon and midnight the entire heap
springs up in the shape Of twelve skele-
tons and strikes, each one after the
other, a blow onthe gong and then falls
to pieces as before Philadelphia En-
quirer.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. The major
ity against silver in the house yester-
day, when the final vote was taken
on concurrence in the senate free coin
age amendment, was larger than that
OF Thursday in committee OF the
whole. Yet the motion 10 concur was
defeated by 1870 to 80, majority OF
ITO; yesterday it was beaten by 215 to
80, a majority OF 1876. The vote yes
terday was record making vote, and
counting the pairs, but 81 out of the
1856 members were unaccounted for.
Perhaps few absentees lodged, but
most OF th9m were unavoidably absent
and were unable to secure pairs. TIE
silver men, who yesterday predicted a
much greater showing of strength,
yesterday were disappointed The
"sound money" leaders had been dis
posed to coDcede the silver forces 100
votes. An analysis of the vote yester-
day shows that 1874 republicans and
81 democrats voted against non. con-
currence aud So demo Gratis, 20 repub-
licans and popuists for concurrence.
The debate which preceded the vote
was of an interesting character, but
devoid OF any sensational features.
The galleries, as usual on final day
in the lower branch of congress, were
crowded to the doors. anil quite q
number OF senators, including Messrs.
Palmer of Illinois, Bacon of Georgia,
Cockrell of Missouri aud Butler OF
North Carol ia, sat through the five
hours de bate. Secretary Herbert was
also present. Ex-Speaker Crisp pre-
sented the closing argument for the
silver mon and was replied to by Mr..
Turner, democratic colleague from
Georgia, i'll two hours speech. The
personal rivalry between the two lead
ers of the opposing fractions of the
democratic side OF the house added to
the Interest of the occasion. Mr..
Dalzell of Pennsylvania closed in be-
hall of the republicans. The parti-
sans of the respective champions
missed no opportunity to acclaim
their approval when telling points
were made, and at the close the hon
ors seemed even.

young man, whose income is by no

living, received a tallor's bill He is
engaged to young lady, who is the
happy possessor Of a comfortable bank
account. The young mans tailor sent
him a bill with the remark written on
it that it was long past due. When he
received the bill he was engaged in
writing a note to his flance, and in
some way had his attention called
away as soon as it was finished, He
returned to his desk, placed the tailor's
bill instead of the note in an envelope
and directed it on his typewriter, which
fact was all that saved him. When he
called she was very indignant, but he
was quick witted and began berating
the tailor. for sending her an account
which he disputed in order to prejudice
her against him, out of spite because
the young man would not pay an unjust
claim The next morning the lover told
the tailor all about the affair, paid the
bill and the maker of the clothes helped
him out by sending the girl an apology,
