Mr. Richard Croker flu* widely
known Tammany democrat, was a
guest of Senator Morphy this week.
He said that lie only ran over to
Washington for a rest and a change,
hut there was probably considerable
New York politics in the long talks In
had with Senator Murphy.
The Welsh M onitor remai ks :
Just as Briinn says, "it is too late in
the eeritory to snppiess truth with
six shooters." A mob ot newspaper
wreckers cam« to grief in Ohio the
other day. and two of them were per
forated with buckshot. The editor
still lives, and his paper will appear 1
at the usual time.
There are reasons for believing that
there are a sufficient number of re
publican Senators who will refuse to
reverse their previous votes against
the right of a governor to appoint a
Senator after tv legislature has failed
to elect when it had an opportunity,
to make it certain that Mr. Corbeir
will not be given that Oregon vacan
cy, even if a majority of the commit
tee on Elections ami Privileges reports
in iiis favor, as if probably will.
This has been a reil-letler week,
indeed, in the career of Senator Dan
iel, of Va., who lias been chosen to
succeed the late Senator Harris, of
Tenn . as a member of the Senate
committee on Financ". and unani
mously reelected to the Senate by the
Va. legislation. Two such honors
seldom comes to any man in a single
week, and it is not surprising that
Senator Daniel should be overwhelm
ed with some congratulations jon his
good fortune.
An attempt i* to be made fo hare
the House and Senate Indian commit
tees agree on legislation for Indian
Territory, but inasmuch as the Senate
Committee has already agreed to a
bill for apportionment ot tli« lands
of the live civilised tribes, it looks as
though that means merely an attempt
to get the House Committee to accept
the bill of the Senate Committee,
which is supported by the Dawes
Commission and opposed by the re
presentatives of the Indians.
Although the National Board of
Trade, which held its annual session
in Washington this week, changed
the time for holding its annual meet
ings from January or Febuary to
December for the avowed purpose of
influencing Congress, its members
must be fully convinced of the im
possibility of getting the gold legis
lation they, in common with Secrcta
r.v Gage and his side partners of the
"monetary conference", are trying to
secure Horn the present Congress.
The fight for ami against the civil
service is bow on, aud when congrsss
reassembles it is expected that it
will bo waged fiercely in the halls of
the national legislature. It is pub
licly asserted that the President
notwithstanding the strong utterances
in favor of the law contained in his
recent message, is weakening per
ceptibly anti may soon resell the
point wlieie Barkis'll be willing.
The republicans nt'tlie House should
be held responsible for their failure to
save the $1,000,000 or $1,500 000 a
year which Representative Bingham
asserted could in the opinion of himself
and his colleagues on the Appropria
tion committee be saved by the re
duction ot extravagant salaries paid to
clerks in the departments. If that
committee ha* such an opinion, it

For the Boys.
Two men stood at the same table in a
large factory in Philadelphia, working
at the same trade. Having an hour for
their nooning every day, each under
took to use it in accomplishing a defi
nite purpose; each persevered for
about the same number of months, and
each won success at last. One o' these
two mechanic ; used his daily leisure
hour in w orking out the invention of a
machine for sawing a block of wood
into almost any desired shape. When
his invention was complete, he sold the
patent for a fortune, changed his work
man's apron for a broadcicth suit, and
moved out of a tenemeut-house into a
brown stone mansion. The other man
what did he doV Well, he spent an
hour each dev during most of a vear in
the very difficult undertaking of torch
ing a little (leg to stand on his land
feet and dance a jig. while he played
the tune. At last accounts he was
working ton hours a day at the samo
trade and at his old wages, and finding
fault with the fate that made Iris fellow
workman rich while leaving him poor.
Leisure minutes may bring golden
grain to mind as well as purse, if one
harvests wheat instead of chaff. — Wide

Old Clocks.
The old brass clocks went only thirtv
hours, and were set in motion by a
| weight attached to a chain which passed
■ over a sheave having soikes in the
| groove, a\ hich caught in the links of
the chain and required to be drawn up
every day. On the introduction of the
long pendulum, clocks seemed to have
assumed a different character. Catgut
was substituted for the chain, and bar
rels were : 'ro.bned on which the cat
gut was wound up, and a greater length
of line being employed, clocks were
made to go for ciglit days instead of
thirty hours, and a chime of belts plac
ing every quarter of an hour was often
added; tno weights and long pendulum
hung down, and, as there was danger
of their action being interfered with,
tall wooden cases were made to protect
ttiem. This was the origin of the tall,
upright clock cases, which were often
made of ornamental woods and .u
riched with line marquetry. Theesrlier
cases wer ■ made of oak and walnut, tlio
mahogany cases being of the follow
ing century, when that word was in
troduced.
A Family Jar.
"Yes," says Mrs. Gunkettle, a-s she
•panked the baby in her calm, motherly
way, "it's a perfect shame, Mr. G.,that
you never bring me home anything to
read! I might as well be shut up in a
lunatic asylum."
"I think so, too," responded the un
feeling man.
"Other people," continued Mrs. Gun
kettle, as she gave the baby a marble
to swal mv to top its noise, "have mag
azines till they can't rest'"
"There's one," 3aid Mr. G.. throwing
a pamphlet on the table.
"Oh, yes; a horrid old report of the
fruit interests of Michigan; lots of news
in that!" and she sat down on the baby
with renewed vigor.
Tm sure it's plumb full of currant
news of the latest dates," said the mis
erable man,
Mrs. Gunkettle retorted that she
wouldn't give a tig for a whole library
of such reading, when 'apple-lv the
baby shrieked loud enough to drown all
other sounds, and p-aoe was at once
restored.- -Detroit h e Press.
The Arab and His Horse.— Tht
Arabians never beat their horse*; they
never cut their tails; they treat them
gently; they speak to them and seem to
hold a discourse; they use them as
friends; they never attempt to increase
their speed by the whip, or spur them,
but in cases of great necessity. They
never fix them to a stake in the fields,
but suffer them to pasture at large
around their habitations: and they come
running the moment they hear the
sound of t'leir master's voice. Inconse
quence of such treatment these animals
become docile and tractable in the
highest degree. They resort at night
to their tents, and lie down in the
midst of tiie children, without even
hurting them in the slig ite t manner.
The little boys and girl- ere oft. n s eu
upon the in>ily or neck of the marc,
while the beasts continue inoffensive
and harmless, permitting them to play
With and caress them without iniurv.

A Letter of the Poet Keats.
In one of liis letters to his sister hi
says, expressing a momentary high
feeling: "Oh, there is nothing like fint
i weather, and health, and books, and •
i contented niiml, and diligent habits ot
I leading aud thinking, and an amulet
against the enemies, and ph ase heaven.
| 4 little claret wine out of a collar a mile
deep—with a few, or a good manv, rate*
j fia cakes—a rocky basin to l athe in;"
j and he enunciates much else, tapering
j off into a series of rollicking whims, and
j ending with alniut thirtv—ix lines of
: doggerel rhyme. But Keats always
| had a breezy way of rattling off his
! wishes aud feelings in his correspond*
[ cnee, of which we will give but ono
more sample. It is from one of the
letters to h;s sister written from Win*
Chester. He says: "I should like now
to promenade round your gardens! ?)—
apple-tasting, pear-tasting, plum-judg*
ing, apricot-nilibling, peach-scrunch*
ing, nectarine-sucking, and melon-oarv*
ing. I have also a great feeling for an*
tiqualed cherries, full of sugar-cracks
—and a white currant tree, kept for
company. I admire lolling on a lawn
by a water-lilied pond, to eat wliit®
currants and see gold-fish, and go to
the fair in tlir- evening, it' I'm good.
1 here is not hope for that—one is suro
to get in some mess before the even*
ing. '—Joel Denton, in the Manhat *
an.
"W hat did Cain say when the Lord
asked him where Ins brother was?*
asked an Austin .Sunday-school teacher.
None of the boys answered, but ths
smallest boy in the class snapped his
lingers and said: "I've forgot what
Cain said, but 1 know he sussed ths
Lord back ."—Terns Sifting*.
