FOX HOUNDS.

We became aware, from the shouts
of the darkies, as they urged the dogs
into the thickets, that these animals
had names of famous flavor, though
their applications had not been bestowed
by one who possessed n fine sense of
the historical or chronological unities.

CALCULATIONS were accompanied by sun
dry kicks, delivered upon the represen-
tatives of these and other renowned
characters. To such uses do mems
names come after death.
After the disappearance of the hounds
in the thicket we rode slowly along the
devious ways of the pine lands, listen
ing intently for that peculiar canine
cry which announces the discovery of
a trail. 1t was not long delayed, for
gray foxes are almost as numerous In
eastern Virginia as rabbits are in the
western states, Suddenly, amidst the
chorus of sharp, short yelps. we heard a
long-drawn, wailing cry which at night
would be interpreted as a cry of the
hanshee, but which, ringing out on the
air of a bright November morning, loses
its ominous significance for every one
except the trail has been 'struck." AS
the cry rose and swelled and was taken
up by 30 other mouths, our Slow-filing
cavalcade became enthuSed with the life
and animation of a cavalry company

pressed closer to the saddles, hats were

A Legend OF Lompardy.

An old Lombard legend tells the story
of chicftain who asked the hand of a

ing his father-in-law, and married the
girl after all. Not satisfied with this

ther mounted in gold as a drinking cup,
and one day, while under the influence
of wine. ordered his spouse to appear
before the assembled guests at his
house and drink to his health out of the
horrible bowl. She did so, but ever
after was her husbands secret but most
deadly enemy. She Joined in a con-
sPiracy which eventually resulted in the
king her husbands assassination.

OF THE BILL.

reading of the journal, Mr.. Dingley,

printed and placed on the calendar. The
speaker, pronounced that it would be

Tariff report cites the deficiency of
the past three years and the estimated
deficiency for 1897 as justification for
tie convoking of congress to devise a
remedy. A comparison between the
operative act of 1890 and the act of
1894 is made aud the conclusion reach
ed that it is the duty of congress to so
revise the tariff as to secure an increase
of revenue from the duties, substantial
ly equal to what has been lost and so
adjust the duties as they will better
protect home industries.
A resolution providing for the consi-
deration of the tariff bill aud a vote on
its passage to he taken On the afternoon
OF March 3lst was passed. by vote of
I7S to 135.
A resolution was then reported by
Mr.. Henderson to pass the appropria-
tion bills which failed at the last ses-
sion. The sundry civil, general def
cheney, agricultural and Indian bills
are the bills that failed and the resolu-
tion calls for forty minutes debate on |
each side.
At the executive session of the SEN
ate this afternoon, John Hay. NOM
mated to be am mbasssdor to Great Brit |
ain, and Horace Porter, to be ambassa-
dor to France, were confirmed.

Really Shocking Conduct.

| FORT BLISS. Tex, March l9. 1897.
| The social githering at the post hall
on the night of the II inst, was ruth
| lessly disturbed by an unexpected Incl
dent, with the result that the sense of
proprIety and decorum of our upper
ten has received such a shock that to
this hour it has refused to settle back
into its grooves.
The evening entertainment was pro-
crossing to the satisfaction and enjoy
ment of its numerous participants; our
philanthropic schoolmaster, Professor
Baker was regaling thirsty throats
| with the beverage that Gambrinus
apotheosized, and the melodious strains
of ''After the Ball'' were floating on
the ambient ether, when suddenly
there appeared upon the scene,
'With eyes askance, and hair all
awry," two festive sOldados, markedly
lacking in ballroom attire and man
ners.
Previously they had taken aboard a
large invoice of liquid hilarity in honor
of ST. Patrick and Bob Fits mmons.
and hearing the mellifiuous tunes of
our little German band, it struck them,
that to take in tie ball would be fit

HINTS FOR GREEN CYCLISTS.

Don't try to catch the handle-bar
with your teeth.
Don't look round to see if the hind
wheel is following.
Don't be surprised if the front wheel
shows disposition to turn into a yard
and lie down for rest.
Always fall on your right shoulder.
and do not let your ear strike the
ground till few seconds later.
When you lose a pedal don't get of
and go back to look for it. It's there on
the machine still, and if you'll feel for
ii long enough you'll find it again.
Should you find a runaway horse on
your trail, keep close to the curb until
he has PASSED. Then make a squirt and
seize him by the tail and put on the
brake,
Never kill a pedestrian when it can
be avoided, but when you do kill one
