Wiiilk tho progrcsa ou tho tarlff bill
In tho Sennto is uot allogcthcr as rapid
na Hcpubllcaua would liko to havo it to
bo, it is, circumstnuccs considorcd,
satiafactory. Moro bo, in fact, than
many had cxpcclcd it to bo, just as tho
bill is bcing mado bcttcr tban many
Republicana expccted it would bo whcn
tho amendcd bill waa reportcd to tho
Sonato. Tho original Dinglty bill waa
far moro Eatisfnctory to Republicans of
tho rank aiul filo than tho bill as
amonded by tho Sonato committeo, and
thoy aro corrcBpondingly plcascd attho
tendency of tho stecring committeo of
tho Senato to rcstoro tho IIoubo sched
ulo, or at lcast to mako thom nearor
theni than to tho schcdulcB of tho
amended bill. Whilo it caunot bo cfll
cially announced that tho sugor sched
ulo of tho original bill will bo rcstorcd,
it Beoms to bo olmost certain that tho
Dingloy Bchedlo will bo mado tho basis
for tho augar schodulo that will bo in
serted in placo of the ono proparcd by
tho Senato Financo Committeo, which
many Ilopublicans considorcd ono of
tho moat objectionablo in tho amended
bill. All of this makes it certain that
tho prophecy that tho bill as llnally
passed would bo a good ono will turn
out to bo true.
Tiieiie is another B in the field for
tho Democratic freo silver and freo
trado presidential nomination in 1000.
It is Bailey of Texas, who has tho sup
port of a majority of tho Dcmocrats in
tho Houso in hls efforts to bo their
leader. Mr. Bailey flgurea that he is
quito as much of an orator as Mr.
Bryan, and quito as much ontitlcd to
tho nomination. After tho nomination
of Bryan, no sensiblo man wonld doubt
tho pos8ibility of an action by a Dem
ocratic convention. Neither of thcm
aro fltted for bo a responaiblo a placo as
tho preaidoncy, but Bailoy haa been
regarded as less of a demagogue than
Bryan, although getting the prcsidcn
tial fover may causo him to out-Bryan
Bryan in that direction.
TnE flrst rcsult of tho investigation
of tho workings of tho civil sorvico
rulos is tho unanimoua roport of tho
committeo on reform in the civil sor
vico in favor of Senator Gallinger's
amondment to the general deflciency
appropriation bill, abrogating all civil
servico rules which apply to any claea
of laborers. This amendmcnt ia in
lino wilh common aenao, and will bo
suro to becomo a law. Talk with Scn
ntor Pritchard and other raembcrs of
tho committeo makes it reasonably cer
tain that other and moro important
recommendations as to excoptions from
tho civil sorvico rules will bo mado by
tho committeo a little later.
The postmaater crop will ripon early
thia ycar and a big harveat is.oxpected.
Postmaater Genoral Gary has an
nounced that tho commissions of all
postmaators that oxpiro boforo July 15
will bo conaidered as having already
expired, and their succeasors appointed
as early as possible. This doos not in
dicato any chango in tho policy of al
lowiug postmaators to aorvo a full torm
of four yoara, unleas thoro aro cauaos

whero immediato changcs aro to bo

Eugcno Field's Fondncss for Cliild-
rcn.
Euceno Field waa aman of ceneroua.
teuder apirit and boundless Bympothy.
He gained and held tlio lovo of little
children and of meu and womeu, for
in his writings he appealcd to young
and old, and every gcntle naturo re
spouded to tho maic of his honcst
veree.
Ho was a great lovcr of animalc. and
was conetantly making pets of thom.
Ho was very fond of birda, but, aa ho
dieliked to aeo thcm caged, he lookcd
forward to tho time when ho could add
to hia now homo a good conservalory,
whero tho birds might Und a homo and
fly in and out among the plant. After
he had onco beuame attachcd to a net
of any kind it waa oxceedingly hard for
him to givo it up. For soveral years
he paid tho board of two old dogs at a
farm. Somo of his friends thought
this a foolish exponao, but ho said he
would not havo tho dogs killed, as thoy
had been faithfulto him in their young
or days, and ho did not belleve in de
Berting old friends. Several vears aro
a Jerusalem donkoy wos given to tho
Fiold boys, and thov namcd it Don
Cresar do Buena. After they became
too old to drivo with him it was a seri
ous ouestion what to do wilh "Don."
For aomo limo ho was boarded at a
livory Btablo. His board bill soon be
came quito a serious mattor. But Mr.
Field would not havo him sold, for fear
that the children's old comrcde might
fnll into unkind hands. At last a friend
in Kentucky oilerod a homo for tho
donkey, and thero ho is now, spending
his last days in luxurious easo on a
Bluo Grass farm. "Itecollections of

have professional use for thom now
kcop 8crap books or writo in diariee?
tho eye lightcd ou on old newspaper
olipping, ono that told a story worth re
peating, with tho omitted names and
added "dotails. It tho story, not tho
olipping dated back to 1851, when tho
lato Samuel McLean of Brooklyn,
widely known as a racy raconteur of
a long lifetime's oxperionces, was visit
ing London with his brido, who was
liss Chapmen of Hartford, Conn. It
was tho year in which tho Crystal
palaco was opened, an oponing graced
wilh tho preaenco of royalties, great
porsouages and celobrities genorally;
but only holders of season ticketa, cost
ing 60 each, wero admittod. Tho
prico Boomed a little too steop for Mr.
McLean, as ho had seen pretty much
everybody at ono timo or another, but
ho wantod Mra. McLean to go. So ho
bought a seaaon ticket for her and eent
hor with somo Euglish friends. Mrs.
McLean was a short, slight woman,and
when sho rcached the Cryetal palaco on
the day of tho oponing, tho crowd com
t lotely homraed hor iu. She could not
calch a glimpso of a einglo royolty or
celebrity. Tears of chagrin sprang to
her oyes as sho realized her diaappoint
ment and tho prico of it. A " tliatin-guished-looking
Englishman," as she
aftorward dcscribcd him, who stood be
sido hor, graspod the situation at a
glanco, and saying, "Permit mo,
madam," he closed his hands around
hor waiet and lifted her, as ho would a
chlld, abovo tho crowd, holding hor
thoro aa loug aa ho could, and pointing
out tho qucen, tho princo coneort and
tho othor royaltica and colebritiee.
ixnot uo nmi set nor uown anu restcu
himaelf, ho raisod hor ogain, and thon
a third time. Whon sho thanked him,
ho aaid sirnply: " I am always glad to
do a favor for an American." All that
Bummer sho tried in vain to idontify
hor " distiuguishod Englishman," but
flnally camo homo without learning
who ho was, Years aftorward in
Plymouth church, when tho lccturor of
tho ovoning ontorcd with Ilcnry Ward
Beecher, Bho turncd to hcr huBband
and oxclaimed: "That's my English
maui" It was Thackeray, whom sho

Grnnt Salutcd by tho Encniy,
As aoon as communications had becn
opened with our base of eupplies Gen.
Grant manifested on cagernesa to ac
quaint himsclf minutely with tho poai
tion of tho enemy, with a view of tak
ing tho offenaive. Ono morning bo
started toward our right, with several
Btaff olllcers, to mako a pcreonal esami
nalion of that portion of tho line.
Whcn ho camo in sight of Ohattanooga
creek, which soparated our pickets from
thoao of tho enemy, ho directcd thoso
who had nccompanicd him to halt and
romain out of sight whilo ho advanced
alone, which ho aupposed ho could do
without attracting much attcntion.
Tho pickets wero withiu hailing die
tanco of ono another on oppoaito bauks
of tho crcck. Thoy had catablished a
temporary truco on their own reaponei
bility, anil tho nion of each army woro
allowcd to got water from tho aamo
strenm without bcing fired upon by
thoao of tho other sidc. A scntluel of
our pickot guard recognized Gon, Grant
as ho opproached, and gavo tho custom
ary cry, " Turn out tho guard com
manding genorall" Tho enemy on tho
oppoeito sido of tho creek ovidently
heard tho words, and ono of hia aentl
nela cricd out, "Turn out tho guard
Gen. Grautl" Tho Confcderato guard
took up tho joko and promptly formcd,
facing our lino and prcaeuted arma.
Tho general returncd tho suluto by lift
ing his hat. Tho guard waa thou dia
miased, and ho continucd his rido
toward our left. Wo know that wo
we o engagcd in a civil war, but auch
civility largely exceeded our oxpccta

Grant wero, for tho moat part, when ho

oruor of that cominonvvealth. Thoy
woro gonorally public occasions, on
which I had an opportunity to eit or
drivo with him, or speak with him from
tho aamo platform to public asaomblles.
As ho had tho roputation of boing a b
lont man, I remcmbor tho eurpri80 I
oxporienced on flnding him ono of tho
most intercstlng and facilo talkors
whom I havo over mot. His lauguago
waa lluent and coplous and admFrablo
iu ita simpliclty. Whothor ho recount
cd.rominiBconcos from his travol around
tho world, or spoko upon tho issues of
tho dty, it wos with thorotigh mastery
of hls EUbject and an absorblng inter
ott, both in hls mottor and mnnnei,
which rcally gave Miu tho monopoly of

Nothing could bo moro strlklng tbau

as great as his roputation. Indccd, ho

Thcosophy,
At a meeting of tho thcosophUts of
Boston Mrs. Alico Leighton Cleather
said that theosophy "providcd a key to
tho work of such men of geniua as Em
erson, Walt Whitman, Richard Wag
ner, and others.' Among tho others
Daniel Pratt of illustrious meniory
ought to bo included. Anybody who
will paticntly study theoEophy and tho
aelect worka of Daniel Pratt, G. A. T.,
will flnd that theosophy iliuminates
Pratt and Pralt iliuminates theoaophy.
At this same meeting tho Hon. Baail
Crump, after bouio groceful rcmarks
about Pytbagora", the bean-hater, camo
"to the Chrietian era," whero ho found
" tho art of song kept olivo by tho Min
nesingers ond Trcubndours, many of
whom wero in rcnlity theoaophista, who
tought tho people in their songs." Mr.
Crump might havo cddcd that tho most

waa clearly a theo3ophiat. Witneas

Somo of tho Boaton skeptics deny
that Elizabeth Vergooso was Mother

sho was a theosophiat. Her atatuo will

Ono TraJt of American National

Thoro is ono trait of our national

and moro or less indifferently by, ond
allow tho country to bo pushcd to tho

Wo havo dono thia again and again,
and nothintc sceniB to ehako our faith
in our abiiity to repeat tho oporation
whenever occasion ariscs. It costs us
onormously, not only iu roputation, but
also in monoy. and retorda our growth
and progross in a thousand ways; but
ncthing seems likoly to curo us of tho

lamity due to our falling in somo crisis
to tako alarm quickly enough. Century.
