AT SEA AS To
LEGISLATION
MEMBERS or CONGRESS ARE UP
m THE AIR ON SIT
uATIoN.
VARIOUS REMEDIES PROPOSED
Democrats Will Try to Force
the Tariff 70 The
Front.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Newer at
the beginning OF any Congress have
the Congressional leaders of both par
ties found themselves more at sea
concerning legislation than they are
ON the eve of the converting Of the
sixtieth session, which will take place
tomorrow at noon. Very little except
the financial situation is engaging the
attention of the member of ead> phouse,
and all the members of both houses,
whether leaders or followers, confess
their inability to forecast what may
be done on that subject All of them
lament the present situation, but many
of them do not believe that the remedy
for 1t is to be found in legislation.
Those who believe that such rem.
edy will prove efficacious are in the
majority but their opinions as to
means vary so widely that all admit
the great difficulty of getting together.
There are general divisions along par
ty divergence of view among both
Republicans and Democrats. In view
of this state of affairs, it is evident
that very little attention VIII be given
to other questions until there can be
some crystallization of thought on the
financial problem.
In his speech of acceptance last
night, Speaker Cannon intimated the
possibility Of some amendments to the
railroad law, and but for the disturb
ance in the money centers there is
little doubt that this would have been
undertaken during the sessions. 1t is
still possible that something may be
attempted in that line, but all plans to
that end are now quite nebulous.
The Democrats have already indi-
Gated purpose of trying to force the
tariff to the front, but the Republicans
are so largely in the majority in both
houses and are so well united in their
purpose of postponing action upon this
important subject until after the Pres
dental election that their opponents
have very little hope of accomplishing
anything beyond getting recognition
for a few speeches for campaign con-
sumption.

AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION.

Some little while ago a popular
writer visited Jail in order to take
notes for a magazine article on prison
life.
On returning home he described the
horrors he had seen, and his discrip-
ton made a deep impression on the
mind of his little daughter Mary.
The writer and his offspring, week
later, were in a train together, which
stopped at a station near a gloomy
building. A man asked:
"What place is thatl"
"The county JAIL" another an
swered promptly.
Whereupon Mary embarrassed her
father, and aroused the suspicious OF
the other occupants of the carriage,
by asking, in a loud, shrill voice:
''Is that the jail you were in, ia
ther ?"-zit-Biks.

", and sat silently while they bathed
ner head, and then Ellen went with
her to their room.
After it was all over the professor s
conscience awoke again and cried
still more loudly. He had not done
bis duty as physician and a man.
de had made no effort to revive her,
land because 1t had been the sweetest
thing to him in his life to hold her
~ his arms and feel the little brown
head on his shoulder, he had simply
stood and held her when it might
have meant life or death. He blamed
and reproached himself exceedingly,
ipr almost the first time in his life he
Nad forgotten his duty.
Judith did not come down the next
orning nor for the rest of the week.
NE time was torture for the profess
s5r. Friday he summoned up cour-
age and called Ellen into the room.
tsHow is Miss Mercer? III hope
she is better" he stammered. Ellen
looked down "She isl think she
is we'll now," she replied evasively.
The ruth was Judith was perfectly
well, but when questioned only hid
her fate among the sofa pillows on
the window seat, and refused to come
back into school.
The professor remained late at his
desk that afternoon, and Judith, from
her window seat, where she watched
for his departure every afternoon be-
fore ventusing out, concluded he had
gone. and taxing her chemistry text
book went down on the campus. The
professor saw her pass down the stair,
he thought she looked pale and weak /;
remorse was in his heart, it was prob
ably his fault that she had not re-
covered sooner, he thought. He got
up from his desk and followed her
hesitatingly and slowly.
She went down the drive under the
budding trees and across the grounds
to an old arbor that stood on the edge
of the campus. There was bench
and a table inside where the girls
sometimes came of an afternoon to
study. Judith sat down, placed her
book upon the table and folding her
hands upon it looked with unseeing
eyes straight before her through the
open door. Suddenly the professor
stood there, the book fell to the floor
and she stood up flushed and tremb-
ling.
The professor came straight up to
the table and stood opposite her.
"Miss Mercer" he began, and she
could hear that his voice trembled,

The professor came quickly around
the table. ''Judith i" he cried.
Between them on the floor lay the
forgotten Chemistry, half open with
its leaves futtering in seemingly pro-
test. and above it stood Judith with
outstretched hands, and as the pro-
fessoT clasped them his foot touched
the book and it closed with sound
that seemed like a sigh. The lesson
was finished. -Mayykand Magazine.

with three large pearls in the center
of my carved face, and black enamel
forming disign around them.
/ stood in the goldsinith's window
for a year, or nearly that long. / was
more expensive than my companions,
and consequently not so popular.
One day, in the early part of 1868
a young man came into the shop, and
asked to see me. This man was Phil
ip Wood, After looking at some of
my companions and myself, he deci-
dcd to take me.
Then. I was put In very elaborate

Gilbert, by her lover, Philip Wood, as
an engagement present.
/ lived with Miss Gilbert a long
fine and became very fond of her.
She and Philip were married, and ]
occupied a very important place on
her wedding gown.
They lived together in England for
several years. They were Pilgrims
and were forced to go to Holland with
this little band of people.
Here it was that their daughter
Constance met John Mullen and af-
forwards married him.
Then short time after Molly Gilbert
Wood died, and / was given to Con-
stance Mullen, her daughter, and then
came to America with her. Here
my mistress died and I was given to
her daughter Constance Priscilla. I
had the position Of pinning her neck
erchief, which she always wore.
From this station I used to look up
at her face and see her dainty red lips
as she smiled at her friends so sweet
ly. To this day I remember the smile
on her sweet face as she raised her
large blue eyes to those of John Alden,
and said, s'Why don't you speak for
yourself, Johnl, I think eve,yont
knows the outcome of this.
Priscilla and her husband lived
happily together, but by and by she
died. Then was given to their old
est daughter, Prudence Alden, who
married Richard Gusts. A few
years later she died and was agar
given to their oldest daughter, Sarat
Gusts, who married John Stark.

FoR "THE UNION"
An AMTHEM OF GODS CARR.
BY EDWIN HIGGINS.


Suggested BY birds nest in the crown, above
the spire Of Christ Church. Baltimore.
Above the pure white marble cross,
Above the storied pane,
Above the ivy and the moss
OF cOnsecrated fame.
Above the organs solemn peal.
Above the chime Of bells,
Above the aisleg where people kneel,
A song to heaven sWeils.
It greets the man ere chime of bell,
Ere the great organ peals,
On wings Of praise It scars to tell
The love its bosom swells.
It builds within golden crown,
A home Of beauty rare,
And carols 70 the city down,
An anthem Of Gods care.
o, minstrel sing thy anthem glee
In rapture sweet prol0ng
Twill help to make the sad world free
And blend with thine song.
