Fohi, in the course of his wanderings
coming to village, knocked at the door
of rich woman and begged permission
to enter. "What' said she, "do you
think receive into my house ever rov~
ing vagabond? No indeed; it would be
unbenefitting respectable woman!
Go your wuyw


Then he went to the cottage of a
poor woman, who at once kindly beg
ged him to enter. She set before him
the only food she had, little goats
milk, broke piece of bread into it,
and said. "May Fohi bless it, that we
may both have enougbr' She then pre-
pared for him a couch of straw: and
when he fAii .,oioep, perceiVlng that he
had no shirt, she sat up all night and
made him one ont of some linen she had
made by her own hard labor. In the
morning she brought it to him, begs
ging he wonl1 not dispise her poor gift.
After breakfast she accompanied him a
little way, and parting Fohi said: MAY
the first woik you undertake last until
EVENING" When she got home, she be-
gan to measure her linen, to see how
much was left; and she went on measur-
ing and did not come to the end of 1t
until the evening, when the house and
yard were full of linen; in short, she did
not know what to do with her wealth.
Her rich neighbor, seeing this. was
sorely vexed, and she resolved that snch
good fortune should not escape her
again. After some months, the travel
er came once more to the village; the
rich woman went to meet him, pressed
hlm to go to her house, treated him
with the best food she bad, and in the
morning brought him shirt of fine lin
Ell, which she had made sometime be-
fore; but all night she kept e candle
burning in her room, that the stranger
if he awoke, might suppose she was
making his shirt. After breakfast she
accompanied HIM out of the village, and
when they parted he said: "May the
first work you undertake last till even
ing!"


She went her way home, thinking the
whole time of her linen, anticipating
! its wonderful increase; but Just then
her cows began to low. Before l

fetch the cows some water But when
she poured the water into the trough
her pail never emptied; she went on
pouring, the stream increased, end
soon her house and yard were all under
water; the neighbors complained that
everything was ruined; the cattle were
drowned, and with difficulty she saved
her own life, for the water never ceas-
ed flowing until the setting of the sun.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Ale1ander H.
Stephens remarked to-day that be ''was
ashamed Of the Forty-ffth Congress" 'When
we met" said he sit was widely heralded
that we would find relief for the people, but
instead of that We have been a burden, and
the Forty fifth Congress adjourns in deeper
disgrace than any Congress in the history OF
our Government"


Mr.. Stephens says he hopes for better
things from the next Congress, and is not pre-
Jared to believe that matters can be worse.


Treasury officials are looking over the f.
nancial work of last Congress to learn in
what shape they left the financial legislation
1t is bad enough. Huge appropriations are
made and no means provided for payment. 1t
is remarked, as a striking commentary on the
reckless legislation, that appropriations of
this Congress are about five times CRATER than
any year before the war, when the govern
ment was out of debt and the people prosper
GUS. Secretary Sherman doubts whether
there will be money in the Treasury at any
time during the fiscal year to meet the river
and harbor appropriations. Congress was
swift to vote away an immense sum for this
purpose, but made no provision for payment.
The same is true with the arrears of PEN
sioEs. The Secretary jokingly remarked that
Congress must have had an exorbtant idea OF
his financial ability to suppose he could pay
all these vast sums without the means. He
thought no Congress had ever given Secre-
tary of the Treasury so much power as this
Congress had bestowed on him. He mention
ed On item in the Sundry civil Appropriations
Bill which passed the House giving him au-
thority to lease all the public property in the
United States He went to the Senate and
had it corrected. The Secretary's friends ave
much amused that Congress, members of
which haue abused him so actively, should
give him power over so much Of their appro-
priations.


AS the case stands now, the Secretary will
pay arrears of pensions as fast as there is
money in the Treasury, but he is not dispos-
ed to consume the fund set apart to secure re-
sumption. He thinks this pension can be
met by paying ten or twelve millions annually
until all is paid.

side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side !; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the

for rheumatism in the. arm. The

generally considerable loss Of mem-

sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry, cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sens:
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him. yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms attend the disease, butcases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

The following is a 0er6atin report of the
speech of Senator Chandler, delivered about
five o'clock Monday morning of last week, on
the Arrears of Pensions hill {:


Mr.. PREsIDENT-Twenty two years ago to-
morrow, in the old hall of the Senate, now
occupied by the Supreme Court of the United
States, |, in company with Jefferson Davis,
stood up and swore before Almighty God that
would support the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States. Jefferson Davis came from the
Cabinet of franklin Pierce into the Senate Of
the United States, and took the oath with me
to be faithful to this Government. During
four years sal in this body with Jefferson
Davis and saw preparations going on, from
day to day, for the overthrow of the Govern
ment. With treason in his heart and perjury
upon his lips he took an oath to sustain the
Government that he meant to overthrow.
Sir, there was method in that madness. He,
in cooperation with other men from his sec
tion, and in the Cabinet Of Buchanan, made
careful preparation for the event that was to
follow Your armies were scattered all over
this broad land where they could not be used
in an emergency. Your fleets were scattered
wherever the winds blew and water was
found to float them, where they conld not be
used to put down rebellion. Your treasury
was depleted until your bonds, bearing six
per cent. interest, principal and interest pay
able in coin, were sold for eighty eight cents
on the dollar for current expenses, and no
buyers Preparations were carefully made.
Your arms were sold under an apparently in
nocsnt clause in an army bill, providing that
the Secretary of War might, at his discretion,
sell such arms as he deemed it for the interest
of the Government to SELL

tender and short, the nails sharp, the

A bill has been passed In the English
house Of commons authorizing banks now
organized on the principle of unlimited
liability of stockholders to become limited
companies. This legislation grows out of
the Glasgow bank failure, which involved
an immense number of stockholders iu ir
retrieVable rain. Parliament is asked to
permit other stockholders whose agents or
officers may rob or wreck back to escape
the responsibility to which they are now
held by law for the acts of their employees.
glance at the conditions presented by
the Glasgow bank failure will show the ef-
feet of the proposed legislation 10 the
clearest light. The reckiessness aud dis
honesty of the directors and officers con-
sumed the whole capital of the concern
and some millions of money belonging to
depositors beside. The stockholders
liability being without limit, they have
been called on to make good the losses 10
the extent OF their means. The average
tax for this purpose, if all the stockholders
were able to pay, would be perhaps FIVE or
six pounds for every pounds worth of
shares held. Many persons had their
fortune invested in the stock, and OF course
are unable to pay the assessment. Others
who are able to pay or compelled to make
up the deficiency; and even wealthy per-
sous who happened to be the owners OF
four or five thousand pounds worth of
stock have thus been utterly ruined. The
case is hard one, Of course, and we'll
calculated to excite sympathy. But it is
to be remem bered that the denositors are
in no way responsible for it. They had nr
power, direct or indirect, to prevent or az
rest the abuses practiced 10 the bank,
while that power was fully possessed by
stockholders. They trusted the business
management to incapable and unworthy
persons, and thus rendered the destruction
of the concern possible. Their confidence
in knavish or foolish agents wrought their
own destruction. Had the bank been
organized on the limited principle, the
stockholders would have lost the value oil
their shares only, or perhaps as much
more, while the depositors would have lost
all the remainder. Many of them would
have been hopelessly bankrupted and ruin
ed while the stockholders would have
come off with comparatively little damage


1t does not appear from the standpoint oi
honesty and morality that this would be
an Improvement, The bill Just passed
proposes to punish persons who trust anG
do business with bank when it has beer
bankrupted or robbed, and let the persons
actually responsible for the robbery or mis-


management go free. Why should moi
the creditors Of broken bank 10 such
case receive as much legal protection auC
sympathy as those who break it?

pure, sweet cider is only attaina
bic from clean, sound fruit, and the
fruit should therefore be carefully ex.
amined and wiped before grinding.


In the press use hair cloth or gunny
in place of straw. As the cider runs
from the press let it pass through a
hair seive into large open vessel that
will hold as much juice as can be OK
pressed in one day. In one day, or
sometimes less the pomice will rise to
the top, and in short time grow very
thick. When little white bubbles
break through it draw off tho liquid
through very small spigot, placed
about three inches from the bottom so
that the less may be left behind. The
cider must be drawn off into very clean,
sweet casks, preferably fresh liquor
casks, and closely watched. The mo-
ment the white bubbles, before men.
toned, are perceived rising at the
bunghole, rack 1t again. 1t is usually
necessary to repeat this three times.
Then fill up the cask with cider in
every respect like that originally con.
tanned in it add a tumbler OF warm
sweet oil, and bung up tight For very
fine cider it is customary TO add ut this
state of the process about half pound
of glucose Starch sugar., or a smaller
portion of white sugar. The cask
should then be allowed to remain in a
cool place until the cider has acquired
the desired flavor. In the meantime
clean barrels for its reception should
be prepared as follows. Some clean
stripes OF RACES are dipped in melted
sulphur, lighted and burned in the
bunghoie, and the bung laid loosely on
the end of the rag so as to retain the
sulphur vapor within the barrel. Then
tie up half a pound of mustard seed in
a coarse muslin bag and put it in the
barrel with cider, add about a quarter
OF a pound of isinglass, or fine gelatine
dissolved in hot water.


This is the old fashioned way, and
will keen cider in the same condition
as when il went into the barrel, if kept
in a cool place for n year.


Professional cider makers are using
calcium sulphite (sulphite of lime), in
stead of mustard and sulphur vapor.
1t is much more convenint and etfec-
tual. To use it, it is simply requisite
to add one-eighth to one-quarter OF an
ounce OF the sulphlte TO each gallon oi
