A Difference in Usage.

BY WARDON ALLAN CURTIS.
Copyright, lSoZ, By Daily Story Pub. Coz
The Rev. Philetus Carson OF the
diocese Of New York had at last Sc
cured q parish whose income made
him feel warranted in asking some
one TO share his lot. Il had been q
long time coming, this parish with q
comfortable salary, twenty-five years,
and Carson was now forty-four. There
was no time to be lost. I'm fact, said
Carson to his friend, the prebendary,
II already feel the habits Of bachelor
growing on me and fear that IL l do
not marry soon they will so far have
fastened themselves on me as not to
be shaken on"
Yes, / think they will begin to
grow on you quite soon, now" said
the prebendaFy, who had been married
twenty years.
Almost eoincidentally with Carson's
investiture in his new parish, came
diocesan convention at Saratoga,
which In those ante-bellum days was
the summer social capital Of the eoun-
try, and the unnumbered rivals that
have arisen since were unknown. Car
son came TO this scene Of gaiety with
his heart huttering like a girls,
dreaming Of meeting his fate there
among the throngs Of women from all
over the land. It was on the second
day that he met Miss Miriam Mani
gault Of South Carolina, who attended
all the sessions Of the convention, a
devout churchwoman, whom the bish-
Op, apparently divining the matri-
monlal aspirations Of his now eligible
subordinate and resolved to further
them, had taken particular pains to
introduce to Carson.
Carson fell in love at once. Not
quite at once, but after not over ave
minutes debating with himself
whether q native Of anti-slaYery Yer
mont ought to marry a South CAROLYN
ian and thereby lend countenance to
the continuance Of black bondage.
Why did Il deVolVe upon him, one per
son, to endeavOr to put down the pc
euliar institution? Answer, Miss
Manigault was perfectly charming.
Was the North right, or the South?
Answer, Miss Manigault was a lady
to her finger tips. Might not all the
trouble be due to Northern ignorance
Of Southern conditions? Answer, Miss
Manigault dressed with a daintiness
that was exquisite. Furthermore.
Bishop Hopkins Of his cwn Vermont
had but lately published book prov
ing that the institution Of slavery pos
sessed Divine sanction, and to COM
plete the chain Of argument Miss Man
igault was apparently thiTty-six or
seven, Just suited to him in age. By

What the outcome may be 1t is yet
impossible to forecast. There was con-
siderable talk in favor of a caucus to
consider the whole question Every eff

among the republicans. 1t is believed
that Speaker Henderson will rule

reducing the war revenues. Some of the

override the decision of the speaker, on

one hand the claim is made that the
Babcock bill has not been considered by

contents or the import of it's provisions.
Those who oppose taking vote on the
question at present assert that the

timent favorable to 4 reduction of the
duties on iron and steel and would not

Washington, Feb. 6.-The action of
Representative Tawney in voting in ia
yor of the motion made in the commit
tee on ways and means to incorporate
the Babcock tariff bill as an amend
ment to the war tax reduction bill is
generally commended by his colleagues
from the state
Mr.. Tawney has no explanation to
offer in regard to the vote, and declines
to express any opinion on the subject.
Among the other members from the
state the opinion is advanced that Mr.
Tawney could not have done otherwise
and represented the sentiment of his
state. Among these representatives the
opinion is also offered that the time Is
not far distant when all the republic-
ans of the house will be placed In a
position where they may go on record
regarding the question of reducing the
tariff rates on certain schedules. The
expectation is that the tariff issue may
be brought up either as a result of
caucus of the republican majority in
the house, or from action in the house
ment to the war revenue bill.
When the subject was brought up In

Gently 1t was soon manifest that there
was considerable feeling among the

cock and Tawney voted with the demo-
Gratis to include the measure reducing
the rates of the iron and steel schedule.
lit was apparent that contest within
the party over this question is soon to
be precipitated.
This situation grows out of the in
tense feeling that has been engendered
by the discussion of the subject There
IS no small amount of feeling against
the republican leaders of the ways and
means committee not alone on account
of the tariff question, but growing out
of the attitude OF the committee
towards concessions on Cuban products
and the sweeping action of the commit
tee in voting to strike out all of the war
revenue taxes
The complaint is made by many re-
publicans in the house that the ways
and means leaders are unwilling to give
any consideration to tariff revision, and

SHAW VERY BUSY MAN.
New Secretary of the Treasury Putting

Washington, Feb. 6.-Secretary Shaw
attended his firstc abinet meeting Tues
day. and so great was his hurry TO re-
turn to the treasury department and
resume his duties that he left at the
white house the bundle of papers he
carried there with him. Later his Sec
rotary went to the executive mansion
for the papers. The new secretary of
the treasury is one of the hardest
working men who ever presided over
the department. He reaches his office
before the hour at which the employees
are due and remains after office hours.
Mr. Shaw on Monday and Tuesday
reached the treasury at s: 80 o'clock and
Immediately began work on the pile Of
papers he found on his desk. many of
which We're willed to him by his pred
ecessor. Before 8 o'clock he summoned
a stenographer and began debating
letters.
The new secretary has adopted the
custom of his predecessor of eating
lunch at the department with his as
sistants. During the hour spent over
the midday meal the secretary and his
assistants discuss the affai of the de-
partment and become acquainted with
each other.
