way, bothered no one, and the charwomen
dispensed with the formality Of sweeping
behind it. for no one could see what was
there anyhow.
A family OF rats, who recognized tie
charm of solitude, took advantage Of the

Iowa. the war appropriation bill will be
reported TO the House. The Pacific cable
bill will follow this measure upon the
House boards. The Chinese exclusion
