Washington, May 29.—Merriman, of

The house then went into a committee
of the whole, (Springer in the chain, on
the oleomargarine bill, the pending amend-
nent being that offered by Townsnend, of
Illinois, reducing the tax on oleomargarine
from ten cents to two cents per pound.
Hatch, of Missouri, stated that in view
ofthe fact that various nrotests of knights
of labor against the bill are being pre-
nted, he wished to have the following
telegram to Speaker Carlisle read:
"Cleveland,O., May 29.—Acting under
instructions from the general assembly of
knights of labor, 1 desire to state that no
pi rson whatever is authorized to speak for
this organization, either in the affirmative
,, r negative, on the question ofthe regula
tion of the sale of oleomargarine, now
pending before congress. Please bringthis
to the attention of the proper committees.

“Grand Master Knights of Labor.”
Allen, Mississippi, said that after waiting
patiently for action on this bill he had at
last come to the conclusion that the house
wanted to hear from him. daughter.)
He was modest, but he was always willing
and resolute to contribute his mite to the
legislation of the country, and lie had de
termined to come to the front. As his
name came High upon the roll call, and as
lie liad heard the gentleman from New
York iHiscocki once say that leaders
would spring up here, would it not be well
for his democratic friends to select him as
a leader. He said with apparent modesty
but with confidence, “behold your leader!
follow me!” (Laughter and applause.) He
represented an agricultural district, and
was himself engaged in the laudable enter
prise of dairying. If there was one indus
try that he would be willing to protect
above another it was tha cow. If there
was one fraud that he would be willing to
punish above another, it was a fraud upon
the cow. He would support the hill if the
amendment ofthe gentleman from Illinois
were adopted, but he could not vote for the
proposition to tax an industry out of exis
tence.
Daniel, of Virginia, spoke in advocacy of
an amendment which he proposed to otter
hereafter abolishing the internal revenue
tax oil tobacco and on fruit brandy. In
the platform of the democratic party as
sembled at Chicago which nominated the
president now occupying the executive
office there was a distinct declaration and
pledge to abolish war taxes. The internal
revenue system was distinctively a war tax,
and to that tax the language of the plat
form was no doubt candidly and honestly
directed. This seemed to he agricultural
day ill the house, but while it was
attending to one class of farmers,
was he not justified in asking it to hear a
long, patient cry which had ascended to
the government for twenty-five years from
that class of farmers who had during that
period borne the burden of the war upon
their shoulders. He denounced in strong
language the tax on apple brandy, the re
turn from which was a mere drop in the
bucket in the government receipts, which
brought in its train of domiciliary visits a
horde of snies and Informers. As to this
hill, if the republican party voted tor it it
would he an abandonment of that theory
of American protection which had cap
tured thousands of votes in this country
for self-government for Ireland. We con
gratulate you on the near achievement and
pledge you a continuance of moral and
material support. Home rule victory is
won.

“To Gladstone, Westminster, England:
A mass meeting of thousands of citizens of
New Orleans, including many leading men
of the state, tender you congratulations on
your noble effort to confer upon Ireland
the benefit of that self government which
lias been productive of so many blessings
to ourselves, and a want of which in the
recent past was productive of so much op
pression and disorder. We will watch the
progress of this proposed legislation with
intense interest. We earnestly wish you
Godspeed.”

I nhurts will take the place of the old.
I While these repairs are being made the
, president is sleeping on a cut in the small
nail mom at the head of the stairs. He
! assures two of his senatorial visitors
to-day that he enjoyed the Jefter-
I soninn simplicity of his temporary
j quarters. The cot recalled Ills bunk in the
i Adirondneks. perhaps. Other ofthe presi-
I dent’s intimates declare that he chafes eon-
: siderably under the vexations of house-
1 cleaning and foresees already one of tlie
' new burdens of a future state. He has
I read somewhere that houseeleaning is the
| abomination of married life. Much mys-
! tery is maintained, by the way, regarding
| the* exact time ofthe president’s departure
, for New York. He will hi* there on clecor-
j ation day, and will probably make the trip
on Sunday night.
OOL. lamont’h mission.
Col. Daniel Lamont, the president’s pri-
| vate secretary, is one of the most genial
| and discreet young men in the universe,
! and Mr. Cleveland, according to the poli
ticians, acted wisely in taking the colonel
• into his confidence in the matter now agi
tating the feminine mind of this country-
namely, the prospective marriage of Miss
Folsom with the president. Mr. Cleveland
has seen fit to announce, through a news
paper correspondent, to all the nations of
the earth that a marriage in which he may
be one ofthe principal parties should not
be a matter of public concern, but simply a
private affair; and he expressed a burning
wish to kee p his private affairs far from
the public eye. Instead of quieting public
clamor for an insight into his heart and
mind upon the delicate 1 subject, he caused
a greater interest than ever to be aroused,
and in his agony, it is said, he implored
Col. Lamont to step to the front unnshield
him.
THE FAITHFUL PRIVATE SECRETARY
was equal to the emergency, as he always
is equal to any emergency, and when he
went to New York on Monday night and
! took rooms at the Hoffman hntiRo it was at
! once given out that he was there to make
! arrangement for the wedding, which, it is
: now officially announced, is to be sol-
I emnized next week. He had not been in
j Edward H. Stoke’s magnificent hotel more
I than an hour before the politicians tried to
capture him, and he fought hard to keep
I them away. On Tuesday morning he at
tended the funeral of Mrs. George H. Pen-
| die ton, and in the afterpoon, it was said,
i was busy at Tiffany’s establishment trying
I to select a present suitable to be given by
I a president of the United States to his
, bride. It was further said that he visited
j many of New York’s great retail business
I houses and made many purchases of arti-
I cles which might go toward making a wed-
I ding outfit for his illustrious employer. In
the evening he again sparred with the poli
ticians, who came in swarms to his rooms
| in the hotel.
THE GREATEST OF HIS KIND.
Under a rough exterior Attorncy-Gen-
! eral Garland carries a most genial nature,
i Not one of his former colleagues in the
j United States senate but cherishes the
j kindest recollections of him. He was the
I most inveterate practical joker ever known
' in that body, but his fun never left a sting
| behind. He has never been known to lose
i his temper, and, unlike most practical
, jokers, he enjoyed fun at his own expense.
When they were in the senate together,
1 Voorhees and Garland were always watch-
I ing each other. Though the “T'all Syca-
j more” might have the laugh on his rival
! one day, the situation was certain to be re-
| versed before the earth comnleted its next
revolution. The tale regarding Voorhees’
I revenge by giving Garland a
! rosin soap caramel, is a household
; story throughout the land. Judge Coke, of
Texas, was the only man in the senate of
: that time who would not stand joking. He
usually spoke in a voice as hoarse ns a
; florist’s apprentice, but one day he got ex
cited when on his feet and souk** for an
i hour in thunder tones that made the very
! walls reverberate. Mr. Garland pretended
j to be entranced. He took a front chair
and sat with his mouth ajar, gazing steadi
ly into t he judge's face. When the speech
) ended Garland said, in bis most reverential
tone, as though self-communing:
I “Bless God for that beutiful voice.”
! The remark raised a laugh, and Cok»- is
said to have felt so much incensed that he
didn't even attempt to smile.
COKE ON ETIQUETTE.
; Speaking of Judge Coke to a congress
man from his state* this evening, drew out.
i the following: The senator lives down on
Sixth street, in strict retirement. Nobody
is allowed to visit him without first send
ing up his card. When the recent spell of
warm weather was at its height the front
door was left open one evening. It hap
pened that two of his political friends from
Galveston were in the city nnd seeking his
residence. Seeing Judge Coke through the
lighted window they ascended and knock
ed at his room door. Being asked to enter
the visitors stepped into the room, and
were about to greet the senator joyfully,
when he said :
“Gentlemen, I regret to say that it is a
rule of this house that the cards of visitors
must always he sent up to me. 1 have to
request that you will observe the custom.”
“Certainly we will,” was the abashed re- |
ply, as tho visitors backed out of the apart
ment. They rung the bell, gave the ser
vant girl their cards, and waited patiently
for her return. They were anxious to hu
mor an old man’s eccentricities. The girl
reappeared, and the visitors almost fainted
when she said :—
“Senator Coke is not in.”
EXACTLY HO.
Apropos ofthe long drawn out oleomar
garine discussion, I am reminded of a story
that Acting Secretary of the Treasury
Fairchild told a few evenings ago.
“A friend of mine was sorelv afflicted
with an impedient in his speech, 11 ’ said the
secretary. “His only way of going ahead
with Ii is conversation when he struck on a
word was to think of its synonyme. He I
could then utter the desired word without
difficulty. He was dining out one day and
during the progress of the meal began to
stammer.
“ ‘Please p-pass me the ’ and there he
stuck.
“‘Think ofthe synonyme,’ suggested a
neighbor who knew the man’s weakness.
•• “There is no synonyme for b-butter.’ ”
He was right in all respect*—there’s
nothing that will take the place of butter.
A MAN WITH A MISSION.
One ofthe interesting characters of the
session is General George O. Jones, who is
ingenuity is reached in
f his coinage (F ’
Well, he leads a jolly life anyhow,
, nnd nobody begrudges tlie genial old chap
the columns that he set tires by his pec
hobby.
A COUPLE ABOUT MORRISON.
Mr. Morrison said to-da.\: “if anybody
shakes a cow’s tui! at this congress it hunts
cover in a hurry. A good many people
will slip up on this butter question.”
A lady v. as recently bantering Congress
man Morrison about Senator Logan having
been put ir. the same cot with liim after
the battle of Fort Ihmelson, where both
were wounded. He said:
“Yes; and they put him on tlie sore side
of me, ton confound it.”
‘ A:, i he has been on the sore side of you
ever since, has he not?” she playfully
asked.
replied Mr. Morrison, good
, “he rather got the lxKerof

“Yes,”

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Hi'noIiiIIoii Gkinc for flir Removal of Woodrow
- Bohii on Sumlny Trains utiil Suwlaj Paper*.
Augusta, Ga., May 29.—'The general
assembly of the Presbyterian church con
cluded its labors to-night after a nine days’
session. The report of the committee on
the Sabbath strongly condemned the run
ning of railroads, and t he publishing and
reading of newspapers on Sunday; also,
sending and receiving mail. The question
of the Columbia theological seminary was
finally settled by the following resolution,
adopted by a vote of H6 to 27:
Resolved, That whereas the general as
sembly is convinced that Dr. Woodrow, I).
D., one ofthe professors in the Columbia
theological seminary, holds views repug
nant to the Word of God and to our confes
sion of faith as appears both by his address
published in tne Southern Presbyterian
Review, July 1884, and in other publica
tions, and by his statements made upon tho
floor of this assembly, Therefore this
general assembly does hereby in accordance
with its action yesterday in regard to the
oversight of the theological seminaries
earnestly recommend to' the synods of
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
south Georgia and Florida, which direct
and control said seminary, to dismiss said
Rev. James Woodrow, D. D., as professor
in said seminary, and to appoint another
in his place, and speedily to take such
other steps as in their judgment will bo
best- adapted to restore the seminary to tho
confidence ofthe church.
The lf»«tilr Indians.
CHICAGO, May 29.—A special from Tuc
son, Arizona, asserts that the Indian situa
tion is growing serious. It is feared a gen
era! outbreak from the San Carlos reserva
tion will take place. It is said that there
is no room for doubt that the hostites are
being reinforced from this reservation, and
that the long continued successes of the
hostiles has emboldened others. General
Miles is very active, and is enlisting rangers
from the most determined men. A com
pany is bein" recruited at Tucson, who will
take the field at once. Bout hern Arizona,
it is stated, is in a state of terror.
Th»* Evi«U‘ii<‘«* stolen.
Cincinnati, May 29.—The Times-Star’s
Gallapolis special says the mayor’s office
was burglarized last night and all the city
records stolen which could be used in evi
dence against former members of the coun
cil who were recently indicted for obtain
ing city funds contrary to law.

tc<‘iil<*iitiil Poisoning.
The following remedy for poisoning should ho
kept on hand:
A knowledge ot what to do in case of many
emergenc ies, certain to arise in families, espe
cially wle-re t hire are chidren, is an impoitunL
part of a woman’s education. Hall's Journal of
Health give-, ihe following directions for acci
dental poisoning: If von have swallowed a poison,
whether laiidunuin. arsenic, or other poisonous
druK. put a t<-asp(»onfnl of ground mustard in a
tfko of water, cold or warm, stir, and swallow
quickly. Instantaneously * lie contents of tho
.-Lomach will he thrown up, not allowing tho
poisonous suhstanee Due* to he absorbed and
taken into the blood. At- soon as vomiting ceases
swallow tiie while of one or two eggs, for the
purpose of antagonizing any small portion ofthe
poison which may have been left behind. Let
ihe n*uder reinemht r tin* prfneiple. which Is to
gel tin* poison out *-f you as quickly as possible.
There are other things which will also serve as
a >pe* dy emt tic, hut tin-advantage of mustard is
it • always at hand, it acts instantaneously,
without any other medical effects. Tho use of
the ii bite #>f mi egg is that, ulthough it does not
mill'fy -ill poisons, it antagonises a larger num
ber than any other agent so readily attainable.
Hut having taken the mustard or egg send fora
physician; these are advised in order to save
time, as the delay of twenty minutes ofleii
causes death.

Messrs. Westmoreland Bros., Greenville,
H. ('. Gentleman: i have been much
pleased with the effect of your Calisaya
Tonic, having consumed the two bottles
sent to me by you. That some of my ac
quaintances affected with dyspepsia may
try the remedy, I have got Dr. Hughes, a
prominent druggist here, to order ono
dozen, .and gave him your circular of
prices, etc. I have no doubt he will intro
duce the medicine, which J regard jus a val
uable remedy, though my limited use pre
vents me from announcing a cure.
Very truly, T. B. Lyons,
Vice President Alabama State Bank.
Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic was
recoin mended to Mr. Lyons by a Mr.
Stern, of New York, who met Mr. Lyons
at New Orleans. Dr. Hughes did order of
us, and has had quite a run on Calisaya
Tonic, jus all dealers generally do.

• We can go to the theater any time,” she said,
‘“hut the circus is only here lbra week, and we
have not always the chance of going to it.”
•“Well, as you like,” said John, “hut allow me
to say this—t will not he responsible for the con

What consequences?” asked Jane in surprise.
“These consequences,” answered John gravely;
“Suppose one ofthe lions was to break out of
his cage while we are there it would he all over
with you.”
“Afi over with me?”
"Certainly. The lions ain't blind are they?”
“N no -but whut has that go to do with me?”
“Just this: If you look tome sweet enough to
