The Senate Wouldn't Mind.

A group of Democratic congressman in the cloakroom were discussing the attitude of the senate with respect to the tariff bill. Some of them were in favor of agreeing to the Republican pro- gramme and adjourning without doing business in order that attention might be focused on the senate. They thought that this would hurry up the senate in the final disposition of the bill.
 "It won't do anything of the kind, l" said Congressman Terry of Arkansas "The senate will go ahead in its own way and pass the tariff bill in its own time. It will be totally indifferent to public opinion. It reminds me of man with wooden leg who used to be a neighbor of mine. As he went down town every morning he had to pass a garden in which was noisy dog. The dog would run to the fence and bark and snarl until the man finally grew tired of the annoyance. One morning, as be went by the garden, he opened the gate and stuck his wooden leg in- side. The dog flew at it and chewed it to his hearts content. Now, said the man, I hope you feel better. You have had lots of fun, and you didn't hurt me a little bit
 "The public" said MT. Terry, twill chew on the senate's wooden leg. "- Washington Post.

Discoveries In Greece.

A remarkable bronze statue of Posei- the sixth century, has just been discov- cred by a fisherman In the sea near Mount Cith@ron. On being taken out of the water the body of it was found to have suffered a good deal from rust, but the head and beard are intact, and the hands only are missing. A magnificent marble pedestal was also discovered, bearing an inscription showing it to have stood in the temple of Neptune. The statue has been placed in the mu- scum here and has caused much interest among arch@ologists, who are inclined to class it with the Jupiter Olympus of Delphi. Dispatch to London Standard

Tolstoi as a Chess Enthusiast.

An interesting piece of chess news Is sent from St. Petersburg by the core spondent of the London Daily Mall. He says that Count Tolstoi, who is now staying in St. Petersburg, takes up from time to time a new hobby and devotes himself to it with astonishing energy. Chess is the latest of these, and the count is now studying openings, com- binations and end games with great as- siduity. Visitors to the house where the great author and social reformer lives in striking simplicity may frequently find Count Tolstoi and his wife and children playing chess as If their lives depended upon the result. The tables in the various rooms are nearly all marked out as chessboards, and even the dogi and other family pets have been given names of chess pieces-rook, knight. pawn, and so forth.

BEREFT.

Sleep, sweet spring. fin the storms and glesma
 Of wtntry skies; Wake not to scatter thy lap of blooms.
 Dark be thine eyesi Sleep entombed in the drifted lea,
 On frozen earth, Nor stir with the old sweet mystery
 Of life at birth. Sleep in the seeds and scaly hoods
 Of buds fast sealed; Sleep for aye in the naked woods;
 Die unrevealed. Die in the drstlings of the flock
 And shivering herds; Blight, upon tree and moor and rock,
 The loves of birds. Sleep with the spawning frog and fish
 In crystal cave; Loose not, at nature's ardent wish,
 The fettered wave. Sleep in the unborn Pascal moon
 And veil her horn; Freeze in the bells their holy tune
 For Easter morn. Shroud the sun as he rises fast
 To zenith blind; Darken his day with garment vast
 Of cloud and wind. Sleep, sweet spring, in the purple gloom
 Of the dawning year, Nor hither come with thy balm and bloom.
 Thy smile and tear. sleepi She sleeps who with burning brow
 Longed sore for thee. Possess thy soul in her patience now, And, where she sleeps in the grave, sleep thou
 Externally.

Darkness Forever.

Oh, bewarel You have not yet been captured. Bewarel Whether the bever- age be poured in golden chalice or pew ter mug, in the foam at the top, in white letters, let there be spelled out to your soul, "Bewarep' When the books of judgnsnt are open, and 10000, 900 drunkards come up to get their doom, I want you to bear witness that l, in the fear of God and in the love for your soul, told you, with all affection and with all kindness, to beware of that which has already exerted its influence upon your family, blowing out some of it's lights-a premonition of the black ness of darkness forever
 Oh, if you could only hear intemper- ance with drunkards' bones drumming on the head of the liquor cask the dead march of immortal souls, methinks the very glance of wine cup would make you shudder, and the color of the liquor would make you think of the blood of the soul, and the foam on the top of the cup would remind you of the froth on the maniao's lip, and you would kneel down and pray God that, rather than your children should become captives of this evil habit, you would like to carry them out some bright spring day to the cemetery and put them away to the last sleep, until at the call of the south wind the flowers would come up all over the grave-sweet prophecies of the resurrection. God has balm for such a wound, but what flower of comfort ever grew on a drunkard's sepulcher?

A CAPITOL ROW.
An Ex-Attache Has Trouble With
Others On the Pay.ROIl.

There was a squabble last night at
the Capitol, inside of the Assembly
Chamber, between one of the ex-at-
taches of the Legislature and some who
retained their jobs.
The fortunate ones had been jollying
the unfortunate man, who is a de-
scandant of Marshal Ney, one of Napo-
lecn's best known Marshals of France,
and VINO had lost his position and was
trying to get back on the payroll.
They have been losing no opportu-
nifty to guy him, and last night made
him believe his life was in danger. He
struck one of them, after provocation,
and was then told that he had better
look out or he would be killed.
He put himself in charge of one of
the Capitol watchmen and asked for
protection to his home, which was af-
forded by officer Talbot.
No blood was shed this time, but
about two weeks ago two of the same
crowd attacked Ney at Fourth and X
streets and almost beat him to death.
