The Democrats of the House have again pursued their traditional policy of making appropriations 3n insufficient to keep things going and he throwing the odium, if such it is, on the j1L, Senate of increasing the amounts. In the present instance, Senator Allison ir~ and his associates have taken hold of ig, this odious job with great nerve, and are ito putting the appropriations on a generous basis.

J nAHIIlA(iTU.>, X'. V/., UU1V It, XIIU l|e President to-day vetoed four private til pension bills. The first granted a penit eion to the widow of John Herbst, who enlisted in 1802. In August, 1804, he 1 j was captured by the enemy. After U1 his capture he joined the Confed,. erate forces and was recaptured by the Union army, and he l" explained that he deserted to the enemy 9* to escape the hardshi]) of prison life, and 18 was released and mustered out on Oeto, her 11, 1805. The disability for which :(1 his widow now asks for pension, the j President says, were quite likely the resuit of exposure in the Confederate 1,1 army, and adds: 111 It would have been a sad condition of affairs if everv captured Union soldier had deemed himself justified in fighting ie against his Government rather than to undergo the privations of capture. Two u* of the other bills vetoed granted pen* , sions to Woodford M. Harking and !,i Thomas Shannon.

In all the vicissitudes that 18 have from time to time overtaken our protective tariff, this is the boldest and rrt most decided move toward Free Trade 1(1 ever taken by the House of Uepresentaid tives. ;ij "The meaning of this step cannot be r. misunderstood or underestimated. It v> is a tremendous blow at the whole Profj tective system. The argument which ill applies to the duty on wool applies with n. equal force to the duty on woollens, on q. iron and steel, on cottons, and on any other product of American industry. 1L, If the duty on wool is 'illogical, iniv quitous and vicious,' then the duty on woollens is equally bad, and ought to be flw. oMinnwint tluit unufnina e. the one sustains t'lfe other.

"I can j only say what I said when the rescript i was first discussed," was his reply. "It is'Uh interference in Irish politics.

Young Mr. Dodge has cabled to his family that his honor demanded a marriage with the young lady. The latter's father, when last seen, wns furious and brandishing a cowhide." The memory of young Dodge's imaginary marriage with an heiress in New York, and the graphic description thereof, which was furnished to the press by the imaginative bridegroom, being still fresh in the public mind, the correspondent wired to Carlisle for a description ; of the scene. The reply is as follows: At an early hour this morning a gentleman residing at 1 Cumberland Road discovered that his daughter had surreptitiously left his residence.

In the meantime, however, the Inspector of Police arrived at Carlisle station at 8:20 and informed them that the father of the young lady had telegraphed to have them Mopped. The young gentleman seemed very much agitated and loudly regretted that he was not in a free country. In the course of a few hours a portly gentleman arrived from Keswick. When he was brought face to faco with the young couple his feelings seemed to become uncontrollable, and sevefal times he brandished his umbrella about the young man's head in a most alarming manner. Finally, after much angry discussion of an unedifying nature, the young lady burst into tears, threw herself into her father's arms and protested t that she loved him best and would never * leave hiui again. The happy father re- c turned homeward with his wayward 1 daughter by the next train. The young I man is still' here in town and visibly t vnrv ninrh donrPRwd.
