for any premium which the. bond would
bear in the market. The secretary of the
treasury is authorised to dopoBlt the pub*
lie money in .excess of the requirements of
the treasury in such national banks as
will give security in equal amount in bonds
of the United States* thus making valla*
ble not only the* bonds but the gold and

a which the banks now koop on hand in ex

•v Sekate.—Mr. Cullom presented the re
port on tho interstate commerce bUl.
•i Mr. Cullom said: The object of the bill, as
reported was to bring about that stability'
of rates which the railroads themselves bt$
trying to bring about under the system of
pooling. He believed .that the apprelieh*
sion.expressed by Piatt would prove to be
unfounded.
-. Hoube.—Tho sundry civil and Indian ap
propriation was discussed. Mr. Symes of
fered several amendments increasing the
appropriations for the signal service bu
reau, and theso bring opposed to Mr. Ran
dall, he criticised the gentleman's ac
tion as chairman-, ol. the commit
tee on appropriations. He did not
envy the gentleman who lived upon
the AtlanticeoafltiBnarrow-mindedMates*
manship, which did not crosB the Missis*
sippi nver. Mr. Randal said: The pend*
ing bill carried more appropriations for
•^.tiesBaMiic coast than any similar bill lor
years past. He thought he know his duty
moderately well, and he did not propose
to be frightened from the performance of
that duty—certainly not by words of such
demogogy as had emanated from Symes.
Mr.- Byrnes retorted, ridiculing Randall's
"checHe-p&ring" policy.
senate.—Senator Plumb introduced a
bill providing:
No railroad or other corporation en
gaged in interstate commerce snail have'or
keep an office for or otherwise provide for
or permit tne transfer upon the books of
such corporation of any portion of the
capital stock of the same,at any place out
side the- state under the laws by
which tho said corporation was
incorporated, and all transfers of the
Btock of any stich corporation, at any
point of-place outside the limits of the
state by which Buck corporation was in

introduced a bill proposing an amendmeut
to the constitution in relation totheelec

that Admirals Rowan and WordetFrnay,
after forty years' service, be retired from

they belong.
The senate bill for the allotment ollands

Senate.—The senate passed, without dis
cussion or division, the„ bill Iqr the retire*
ment and^recoinage of the trade
dollar. Tho
senate also passed the bill to repeal the
tenure of office act by a vote ot 80 to 22.
The law is but a shadow of the iron clad
act by which the Republicans
of 1807 held in check President
JohnBon. As it then stood it' for*
bade removals from oifllce during the ses
sion of the sonate except with tho advice
and consent of that body. During the re
cess o! the senate the president was allowed
to make no removals at. all, but might
suspend an officer on satisfactory* evidence
of miscondu ct in office, crimo or
incapacity until the next meeting of the
senate, when Grant became president the
~housg of representatives, being overwhelm
ingly Republican, voted to repeal the law,
but the more cautious sonate would consent
only to a modification of it. The lawas then
amended gives the president unlimited pow?
er of suspension during the recess of
the senate until the end of the next session
of the senate. 8hould the senate refuse to
approve the' suspension the discarded of
ficer would be restored to his placo on tho
final adjournment of the senate, but as
the president can immediately resuspend
him this restriction is
lutile.and for all prac

From Harper** Bmuft
It hod always been the custom in
Mrs. Capulet's day to bake one ol her
best plum-paddings during Christinas
week for the ohar-woman.Mrs. Burke,
who was never likely to taste Buch a
dainty at other seasons. "Why
should we keep all the good things to
onrselves," she used to ask, "eat
plum-pudding whenever we fancy it,
and this poor hard-working woman
never know the taste of such a mor
sel?" It was also-, the custom of the
house "to build," as Harry Capulet
used to say, several of these rich pud
dings at the satne time they would keep
for weeks or months without spoiling,
and there they were, at a moment's no
tice, if dinner company arrived unex
pectedly on washing or ironing days,
when it was inconvenient to concoct
nice dessei ts. When Mrs. Harry Cap
ulet took the management ol affairs
after his mother's death, her hus
band's cousin, who* had been regent
during the interregnum, said to her
at Christmas-time: "I hope, dear,
you will continue Mrs. Burke's pud
ding she has received it for so many
years, she will feel injured, I'm afraid,
unless you do."
"Oh, certainly," answered Mrs.
Harry, who wi§ of an economical turn
of mind "I sliall give Mrs. Burke a
pudding, but not one of these. What
ate you thinking about—waste all
these delicacies on a char-woman?"
'/Gingerbread pudding, with a few
raisins added, will satisfy her quite as
well," put in Mrs. Harry's siEter.
"What thev call a poor-man's pud
ding?" asked Mrs. Harry.
"Yes—the very thing."
"But, my dear," expostulated Sue
Capulet, "Mrs. Burke will know she
has been accustomed to the best. I
have made it a principle to send her
as good as I kept I hated to scrimp
her at Christmas-time."
"Oh, you're too extravagant,Cousin
Sue. Besides, you give
an old ignorant
char-woman credit for all your own
virtues aud tastes. I don't think it
worth while to waste so much money,
upon her a poor-man's pudding is
more appropriate for the circumstan
ces."
"Noblesse oblige," insisted Sue. But
Mrs. Harry laughed, and ordered the
poor-man's pudding to be baked the
same Bize as ner own plum-puddings.
"I can hardly tell them apart, cook
has given them all such a rich brown.
Surely the proof of the pudding is in
the baking as well as the eating."
But Sue sighed. "Mrs. Burke is En
glish. You won't be able to deceive
her about all English plum-pudding."
"I'm not going to label it, and she
can take it Or leave it,

The house bill-extending the free delivery
system, passed the senate, it provides:
Letter carriers shall be employed for free
delivery at every incorporated city, village
or borough containing a population ot 50,

be so employed at every place containing
a population ot not lesR than 10,000 with

?.'I hope it isn't blarney in Mrs.

"A man convinced against his will,
'Is ot the same opinion still."
quoted Mrs. Harry.
After this, "whenever Sue and Mrs.
Harry disagreed, her sister would say,
"Remember Mrs. Burke's pudding,
Sue." However, the matter faded out
of their minds in time, and perhaps
they would never have thought of it
again if Mr. Gus Blake hadn't hap
pened to drop in upon them. Now
Mr. Blake was somebody worth while
in Mies Lily's eyes. She had met him
hej^ and there, danced with
him at gcrmans, yachted with
him, picnicked with him, lunched
with him once he had even sent her
some flowers she had some of them
now, pressed in a book of love son
nets. He was one of those cordial
people who shake hands as if they
were making love. Miss Lily was more
than fond of his society she intended
to mapy him. But it was a pity that
should arrive on the only cU
he should arrive on the only day in
the week when they had a picked-up
dinner.
"There is one of the Christmas pud
dings left, at any rate," said Mrs.
Harry "all that will redeem the din
ner."
Mr. Gus Blake was very affable as
usual. He and Lily sang duets togeth
er before dinner she had also to show
him over the grounds, the view of the
river, the eagle's nest .they hunted lor
four-leayed clovers together, and she
told his fortune with a daisy. He was
complimentary arid gallant. Idly felt

ingtohim,attacked it. Sheturned pale^
and gave her plate alittle angry push.
Then Mrs.
Harry, having helped every­
body else,.settled herself to the enjoy
ment of her pudding. Sue, regarding
her, saw a look of consternation gath
er upon her face. She uttered an ex
clamation as it she had been wounded.
"Sue," she said, angrily, "you
carried the wrong pudding to Mrs.
Burke. Tjbis is the poor-man's pud
ding," regardless of her guest
'I carried the puddingthecook gave
me," returned Sue.
"No wonder Mrs. Burke- thought it
too good for poor folk!'' put inLiiiy,
sourly.
They both glowered at Sue. They
were obliged to repress their wrath be
fore their guest, but they were too full
of indignation to talk rationally or
coherently. If Mr. Blake guessed that
there was thunder in the air, he was as
factious and anecdotalasusual, ignor
ed the
atmospheric changes, and did not
hurry away. But when he was oblig
ed to take his train at last, the thun
der-bolt burst about Sue's head.
"So you carried your point after
all my directions to the contrary,"
said Mrs. Harry "Mrs. Burke had
herTEnglish plum-pudding in spite ol
"I had nothing to do with it," re
turned 8ue "it was as much a sur
prise to me as to you."
"Pity Harry hadn't been here," said
MiS3 Lily, ignoring Sue's version.
•If his wife isn't to be mistress his
house, it is time he knew it. A poor
man's pudding to set before Mr. Gus
Blake, one of the most fastidious of
menl"
"I'm very sorry,!'-.said Sue. "It
wasen't a nice pudding
"Nor a nice thing for you to do in
another's house."
"Mrs. Capulet, I had nothing what
ever to do with it," protested Sue.
"Susan Capulet, I don't believe a
word you say."
"And if I were a sister, you or I
should leave the house."
And so it happened that Sue packed
her trunks, and Harry Capulet had
such a version of Mrs. Burke spudding
that he did not dream of recalling her.
She went to a friend's house-in the
city, who had promised to find her a
situation.
In the-meantime Mrs. Capulet's ser
vants corifided the story of the plum
pudding to Mrs. Burke herself, and
Mr. Gus Blake's part in it. -Mrs.
Burke felt it her duty to write Mr.
Blake and repeat the whole affair,
and through hini to help sweet Miss
Sue, who would never hurt a fly, out
~M|r trouble.
Mr. Blake smiled-over this letter.
So they had made it hot for Miss Suel
He had suspected as much. He went
to call on his friend Mrs. Barnes and
request her co-operation. He was
shown into the music-room, and met
Sue.
"So," he said, shaking hands, "this
is the result of Mrs. Burke's pudding.
What a lucky pudding for me and
Mrs. Burke!" And then Mrs. Barnes
entered.
"I came," he said, "to consult you
about the affairs of a friend of mine
who has come to grief. Her case is
even worse than that of the man in
the South who burnt his mouth eat
ing cold plum-porridge."

that Sue had a position, a little later,

themselves chiefly
by rapid, irregular palpitation of the
heart, disturbances in the region of the
heart, short breath, languor, sleepless
ness, and etc. Dr. Frantzel says that
if the cause of these complaints are
inquired into, it is generally iound
that the patients are great smokers.
They may not smoke cigars rich in
nicotine, but full-flavored cigars im
ported from the Havanas. Smoking,
as a rule, agrees
with persons lor many
years, perhaps ior twenty years and
longer, although by degrees! cigars of
finer flavor are chosen. But all at
once, without any assignable cause,
troubles are experienced with the
heart, which rapidly increase, and
compel the Sufferer to call in the help
of the medical man. It is strange that
persons consuming cigars of ordinary
quality, even if they smoke them very
largely, rarely are attacked in that
way. The excessive Use of cigarettes
has not been known to give rise to
smaller troubles, although it is the
cause of complaints of a different', na
tuw. The age at which disturbance of
the heart become pronounced varies
very much. It is but rare that patients
are under thirty years of age they
are mostly between forty and sixty
years old. Persons Who are able to
smoke full-flavbred Havanas continue
to do so up to their death.. If we look
round among the better classes of
society, who, it it well known, are the
principal consumers of such cigars, it
is astonishing to find how many per
sons with advancing years discon
tinue smoking. As a. rule, affection of
the heart has caused them to abjure
the weedl In. such cases the piatient
has found the best cure, without con
sulting the medical men.

.Lincoln and Army Deserters.
Horatio King writes thus to the
magazine of American history of Lin
coln and army deserters:
While writing of President Lincoln I
will, relate another singular incident
not generally known, I think, and
which comes to me on undoubted au
thority. At the beginning of the war
oftener probably than later in the
fearful struggle, sometimes on going
into battle a soldier who had "never
smelt gunpowder" would falter, shrink
away and maybe throw down his
arms, utterly unable from cowardice
to proceed, thus rendering himself
liable to the penalty ol death.
When these cases came. before Presi
dent_ Lincoln, and the necessity of
making an .example of such culprits
was appointed out to him, he invaria
bly plead off. By the way of convinc
ing him not only of the imperative
necessity of strictly enforcing the law
as a restraining influence against cow
ardly instincts, but also of its reason
ableness and justice, it was urged that
the soldier, seeing before him two dan
gers—on the one hand sure death if he
acted the coward, and on the other a
reasonable chance of escape ifhe press
ed forward in battle—he would natur
ally choose_ the lesser of tho two, and
thus save his honor at least, if not his
life. But it was all to no purpose-r-Mr.
Lincoln solemnly declaring that he
never could consent to Bign the death
warrant of a soldier for tailing to go
where his leg.3 refused to carry him
and he never did. He consigned to
pigo i-holes, without his signature,

Leviathan Locomotives.
From the Albany Argus.
The Scheneotady locomotive works
has sent out two of the largest loco
motivxengines that have been built at
Schenectady The engines are for the
Colorado Midland Railroad, and are
numbered 1 and 2, and will run be
tween Colorado Springs and Leadville,
where the: grade is 210 feet to the
mile, and where powerful engines are
a necessity. The boilers are made of
of Otis steel, nine-sixteenths of an
Inch thick, and their diameter
is sixty inches, with an extended
front end. There are 234 tubes
in the. boiler, each thirteen feet
long and two and one-quarter inches
in diameter. The width of the fire
box is fOrty-two andseven-eigh ths inch
es, the depth in front is fifty-seven
and one-quarter and back fifty-four
and one-quarter inches. The cylinders
are 20x24 inches. There are four
driving.wheels on each side fifty-one
inches in diameter, and a four-wheel
spring bolster truck in front. The
tank capacity of these immense en
gines is 3,500 gallons, which is about
625 gallons more than (inordinary
New York Central passenger engine
holds. They are equipped with the
St. Louis steam brake on the tender.
The weight of the engine is sixty-two
tons without the tender, fifty-six tons
of which set upon the eight driving
wheels.
