The chances of getting the revenue bill
through at an early day are not good
The Senate appears disposed to change it
in great many ways, and there will
doubtless be an attempt to strike out the
provision for the issue Of bonds, which
may succeed unless some of the Democrats
vote with the Republicans against 1t as
was the case in the House. If the Senate
should strike.out that provision the House
would undoubtedly vote to non-conour
and the measure be hung up between
the o'bodies. OF course, the movement to
eliminate the bond provision was startsd bv
the silver men, and is dictated chiefly by
the hatred of the bankers who they repre-
sent as anxious for an issue of bonds
that they may make money out of them.
The alternative of the issue of bonds is
mere greenbncks, that is to say, more
means of pumping out the gold reserve.
This fact, also. is another reason why the
silver men are opposed to bonds.

Commodore Dewey was very much
averse to being assigned to the Asiatic
squadron because in case war broke out
between the United States and Spain he
believed that that squadron would have
no part in it. He wanted to be assigned
to the European feet which Commodore
Howell obtained. Doubtless today Dewey
is congratulating himself that he did not
get what he wanted, while Commodore
Howell who commands the patrol feet
and is not likely to see any fighting, is ex-
ceedingly sorry that he did get what
he wanted.

SAFE DEPOSIT VAULTS.

Having consolidated with the Portland
Safe Deposit Company. the Portland
Trust Company now offers its patrons
and the public unequaled facilities for
storage of bonds, stocks, valuable papers
and silver ware.
The security offered is the best in
Maine, and the location is the most CEN
trail and convenient in Portland.
The utmost privacy is afforded by sep
arate entrances from the street, while
the arrangement of offices of the consoli-
dated company is such that all financial
business can be transacted under the
same roof.

There can be little doubt that there
will be important changes in the Spanish
cabinet before long. The minister of
marine can hardly survive the cry for a
scape goat for the crushing defeat in
Manila, and Senior Moret, the minis
ter of agriculture, after his confession in
the Cortes last week of lack of foresight
in not preparing for war is likely to have
to step out, especially as he had be-
come unpopular because of his promi-
nence in advocating autonomy for Cuba.

"When Uncle Sam comes to look into
the conditions of government now exist
ing in the Philippine Islands with a
view to altering them to suit Yankee
notions, he is going to be everlastingly
surprised. In the first place, he is going
to find that the Chinese are the real mas
ters instead Of the late lamented Dons,
just as they are today virtually in control
Of nearly all the islands Of Malaysia. In
the second place. he is going to find that
the dissatisfaction of the revolving natives
is directed as much against these same
Chinese as against the Spanish, and that
the cry against cheap Chinese labor rings
out as wildly at Manila and elsewhere
in the islands as it did in this country

Without troops Dewey cannot maintain

FIGURES OF SPEECH.

While aunty was reading o story one night,
To good little divers smiling delight
She came upon something remarkably queer
THAT good little Oliver wondered to hear.
And this was tho something she placidly read !:
4iJane Ann then determined to enter the shed,
And, cautiously dropping her eyes ON the floor,
They fell on the snake which had caught them
before.
interruption was rude. the dear child had been
taught,
So he said not a word, but he thought, and he
thought,
And the longer he pondered the stranger it
grew
The thing that Jane Ann was reported to do.
He felt of his eyes with mysterious doubt
And wondered how she could have taken hers
out;
And how-this was really what puzzled him
more
They could fall on thing which had caught
them before.

Bullets Point to Point.

A correspondent relates the following
remarkable personal "reminiscences of an
incident which occurred during the
Franco German war: "A perfect stran-
ger Tan Englishman), said he, called
upon me and handed to me chassepot
rifle, which he related he had picked
up on the field of battle after Gravelette,
which had bullet or two stuck in
about the middle of the barrel and
which he requested me to get removed.
This was done, and upon examination
two bullets were found to have met
point to point. A German bullet must
have entered the muzzle of the French
rifle barrel just as the French rife had
been fired, and the two bullets had met
together without bursting the barrel. l

The Matter of whiskers.

Jules Ferry's whiskers were often an
index to his state of feeling saw him
on the day he escaped from the COM
mune of Paris to Versailles. He related
his adventures at the Hotel DIES Reser-
voirs TO friends who gathered round
him. The whiskers, which habitually
stood well out, like those CHS enemies
said) Of a garcon de cafe, we're limp and
lay fiat to the cheeks.
The most leonine whiskers I ever saw
were Skobelef's. They were of i'm
mense length when he drew them out,
as was his won't, but when let alone
seemed only half as long. I dare say
they had their lanlz days, but not SO far
as | know. The term 'whiskerando''
(now well nigh obsolete) had more
meaning than these who used it thought.

A SHERMAN ROMANCE.
His Old California Sweetheart Loyal to
the General


His Old California Sweetheart Loyal to
the General.
When General William Tecumseh
Sherman was a raw subaltern in the
United States army, without fame or
laurels and little apparent hope of Win
ming either, relates the Chicago Chron-
icle, he wooed and won a beautiful
Spanish girl then living i'll Monterey,
Gal. Dona Maria Ygnacia Bonifaeio
fell beneath the ardent chances of the
iank, ungainly youth Just as the flag of
the sister republic was lowered before
the triumphant army led by Scott. To-
day she is still true to her early love
and unaware Of hoffeme and death of
hdr lover.
California was then a part of the
Mexican republic. Sherman, like many
another, was forced to make war against
the land of the Montezumas. In the
closing year of the struggle, when Cali
fornia was occupied and became part
of the United States, Sherman was as
signed to duty on the coast Here he
met the fair dona, lost his heart to her
member of an old aristoeratic Spanish
family, and the subaltern was congratu-
lated upon his luck To emphasize his
devotion, the young officer in 1855
planted a rose tree before the entrance
to the homo of his beloved.
Then came the inevitable misunder-
standing which accompanies every re-
nance. The lovers disagreed. Sherman
left the army and went east to take up
tho law. He never afterward saw his
sweetheart nor did she over permit his
name to be mentioned in her hearing.
=NShe speaks Spanish only, never reads a
Newspaper, and while tho nation has
sung the praises of the hero of Atlanta
the Spanish maiden knows nothing Of
him from the day he left her. She still,
although long past her youth, waits for
tho return of the man whose image has
never left her heart
But in spite of the separation of The
sweethearts that rose tree throye and
waxed great Now its branches have
( spread until they form q beautiful bow.

Jhe is still very beautiful in spite of the
layages of time and secret sorrow.

Must Have Loved Him.

Many stories have been told Of a
Manchester man who is supposed to be
the-well, to put it humanely-plainest
man in England. But we think the fol-
lowing is the funniest:
Mamma, child was heard to say
in an awestruck whisper, after pro-
longed survey of the peculiar features
of the guest THAT gentleman's mamma
must have loved children very, very
much. +"
"WLy SO, my dear?p inquired the I'M
suspecting parent.

audible whisper, " cause she brought

Apt Quotation,

There is sometimes more wit in the
application to the business in hand of
words already chosen for another pur-
pose than in the invention of an appro-
pirate phrase. Bishop Whipple, accord
ing to The Church News, loved to tell
this story:
A devout colored preacher, whose
heart was aglow with missionary zeal,
gave notice to his congregation that in
the evening an offertory would be taken
for missions and asked for liberal gifts.
A selfish, we'll to do man in his congre.
cation said to him before the service:
Yer gwine to kill dis church eff yer
goes on saying give, give. 10 church
can stan It. Yer gwine to kill it. .
After the sermon the colored minister
said to the people:
Brother Jones told me l was gwine
to kill dis here church eff l KEEP a.askin
yer to give but, nay brethren, churches
doesn't die dat way. Eff anybody knows
of church dat died cause it's been
giyin too much to de Lord, Til be very
much obliged Of my brother will tell me
whar dat church is, for TIE gwine to
visit it, and I'll climb On de walls Of
dat church. under de light of de moon,
and cry, Blessed am do dead dat die in
