The Algerian Donkey. COMESS IH SESSION. The donkey in Algeria rarely has a saddle. He has a pad very similar to the pad on which the bespangled queens of the sawdust ring dance their short hour to the delighted boys and rustics. The pad has no stirrups and is so wide as to make a seat on it ex tremely tiring to the uninitiated. The Arab sits astride or sidewise, and as the pad is rarely girted, or at best by a slender rope, it is like walking a tight rope or managing a birch bark canoe to sit on it until you “catch on.” Between this pad, which serves equal ly for loading or riding, and the sad dle of the Spahi there is a vast catego ry of sizes and styles, all, however, much too wide. A pair of stirrups are often improvised by tying two bags together, putting them across the pad, turning in ono corner and thrusting the foot into the pocket thus made. The flimsy pretext for saddle or har ness used all over the east would be cast on the dump by the poorest American farmer. He would not risk his bones with it.—Colonel T. A. Dodge in Harper's. A Word Fitly Spoken. Had she a daughter to train, said a woman of the world, one accomplish ment above all should be taught her— to make herself agreeable without de scending to make fun of other people. Much if not most of the fun current among young folks consists of picking ot lers to pieces. Bright people are given to use their wit very freely upon others who have the misfortune to come near them. Women especially regard the world outside their immediate circle as cre ated to nfford them amusement, not of the most amiable kind. They are not discriminating enough to see what underlies and offsets the peculiarity which provokes their fun. The ill dressed, hurried woman is commonly trying to carry affairs whose burden her critics whould shrink shamelessly. No wonder if the brave spirit steps awkwardly and un becomingly under the load she can just bear without breaking. Those who bait their fun on her must laugh and laugh again unheeding.—llousc- ivifc. Mistaken Anarchists. Hugged Robert—“These ’ere an archists won’t never succeed till they git u battle-cry. Their ‘Bread or Blood’ motto don’t creato no enthu siasm.” Wearie Willie—“Guess not.” Ragged Robert—“No. Ef they want ter git the people with ’em, ef they want ter stir up th’ hearts o’, patriots to noble deeds, let ’em march through th’streets yellin’ ‘beer or blood!’ nn’ we’d all join in.”—New York Weekly. Time to Retire Them. Little Dick—“Auntio says all those pretty things called bric-a-brac used to be in regular use. I wonder w’en they went out of fashion and got stuck way up on mantle-pieces.” Little Dot—“I guess it was w’en folks found that some of their child- was goin to bo boys. ” Fortify Wcnk Nerves.

Wliat is Being Done to Allay Finan cial Depression and Bring: Relief. 65th Day—The Yoorheos'cloture res olution was not taken up Saturday morning, as it was expected it would be. If there had been a morning hour it would have been laid before the sennte in the ordinary course of business. But there was no morning hour, and there was no motion to take up the cloture resolution. The silver purchase repeal bill was taken up as soon as a quorum was obtained and Mr. Peffer continued the speech against it which he began Friday of last week, speaking to a listless and inattentive audience. 66th Day.—The silver purchase re peal bill was laid before the senate at 10:30 o’clock Monday morning. Mr. Stewart gave notice of an amendment for a Pan-American monetary confer ence to assemble at Washington with in nine months and for the adoption of a common silver coin to be a legal tender in all commercial transactions in the countries represented. Mr. Jones resumed the floor aud continued his speech against the bill at the point where he left off Saturday. 67th Day.—The senate met at 10:30 o’clock Tuesday morning and soon af terwards took up the silver purchase repeal bill, Mr. Stewart resuming the speech which he had been making Monday when a recess was taken and which he had begun several weeks ago. The bill authorizing the Chattanooga Western Railroad company to con struct a bridge across the Tennessee river near Chattanooga was passed. Mr. Stewart then resumed his speech, aud at 12 :30 o’clock, without conclud ing his speech, yielded the floor, and Mr. Jones, of Nevada, resumed his nrgument against the bill, after which the senate took a recess till Tuesday. 68th Day.—The senate met at 11 a. m. Wednesday and proceeded to busi ness without a preliminary call to ob tain a quorum. A resolution was of fered by Peffor directing the judiciary committee to investigate the question whether the repeal of thoBland-Allison act by the Sherman act did not leave the law for the free coinage of silver in full force. It was referred to the ju diciary committee. The house joint resolution tendering the acknowledge ments of the government and people of the United States to foreign govern ments which participated in the Chi cago exposition, was reported by Sher man, from the committee of foreign relations, hut went over without ac tion. The silver purchase repeal hill was then taken up, and the senate was addressed (in opposition to the bill) by Pugh. Pugh made a speech on re peal aud silver generally. He did not believe that either the un conditional repealers or the president had any desiro for free coinage of silver by international agreement or otherwise, nor did he believe it was their intention to endeavor to secure the adoption of anything of that sort. Stewnrt followed, and in his remarks thanked the southern democrats for the brave stand they had made against fearful odds. The joint resolution, tendering acknowledgement to for eign governments for co-operation in the Chicago exposition was again taken up and passed—amended in ac cordance with Hoar’s suggestion, so that the president is requested to com municate to each of the foreign gov ernments the acknowledgements of congress. 69th Day.—After the transaction of some routine business in the senate Thursday morning, by unanimous consent the silver purchase bill was taken up, the vice president stating the question to he on Mr. Peffer’s free coinage amendment. The senate was addressed by Mr. Teller, who pro ceeded to discuss the causes of finan cial depression which had existed iu all commercial countries of the world since 1873, and the duration of the depression which was, he said, unusual and abnormal. THE HOUSE. 65th Day.—In the house Saturday a bill to divide the eastern judicial dis trict of Michigan, in northern and southern divisions was passed. An in teresting discussion of the financial condition of the treasury and the country followed. The house then re sumed consideration of the printing bill, which was completed and as amended it was reported to the house. On the passage of the bill the vote stood 71 to 3. Mr. Beltzhoover made the poiht of no quorum, and the ayes and nays were ordered. It resulted 148 to 8—no quorum. Thereupon, at 3 :05 o’clock the house adjourned. 66th Day—The house resolution, providing for disposal of certain funds belonging to “Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,” at Salt Lake City, was returned from the senate with an amendment, specifying the manner in which it should be distributed for charitable purposes. The amendment was concurred in. The bill was taken up, the previous question having been ordered, and passed—yeas 167, nays 17. 67th Day—In the house, Tuesday morning, Oates favorably reported from the judiciary committee the bill to amend the naturalization law of the United Stat s. A bill passed amending the revised statutes so as to provide that the engineers and assistants engineers of vessels engaged in coastwise trade shall be liscensed. Consideration of the bankruptcy bill was then resumed, Mr. Denson, of Alabama, speaking against it on the ground that it was a speeies of paternalism and opposed to democratic doctrines. 68th Day.—In the house, Wednes day, McRae called up the bill to pro tect the public forest reservations, re ported from the committee on public lands, the speaker having ruled that it may be called as often as the com mittee is reached in the call for busi ness. The point of no quorum was raised and the morning hour expired without the appearance of a quorum, and the bill went over, and Oates moved that the house resolve itself in to committee of the whole for consid eration of the bankruptcy bill. Outh- waite, of Ohio, took the chair and Lane addressed the house in opposition to the bill. Coombs, democrat, of New York, offered a resolution, outlining a plan for a tariff bill and instructing the ways and means committee to bring in a bill in accordance with its provisions. Referred to the commit tee on ways and means. 69th Day—When th£ house met at noon Thursday, prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Smithson, who referred to the death of the chaplain of the house, the Rev. Mr. Haddaway. Mr. Richardson offered a resolution ex- preesing the regret of the house and authorizing the appointment of a com mittee of seven to attend tho funeral. The resolution was adopted. Preparing for tlie Campaign. A. T. Goodwyn, chairman of the state executive committee of the Jeffersonian democrats of Ala bama, has issued a call for a meeting of the committee at Birmingham on November 16th. The objects stated are to formulate plans for the next campaign. The third party people will co-operate with the Jeffersonians. AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Allairs of Goyerameut anfl Routine of tte House and Senate Discusse. Notes of Interest Concerning the Peo ple and Their General Welfare. The senate committee on judiciary attempted to hold a special meeting Wednesday evening upon the call of the chairman to consider the nomina tion of Mr. Hornblower to be justice of the supreme court. There was, however, not a quorum of the com mittee present. Mr. Brawley, of South Carolina, was heard by the banking and curren cy committee at a meeting Wednesday in favor of his bill to suspend the tax on notes called clearing house certificates, in South Carolina. He said these cer tificates were cashed in the form of notes. No one has suffered by their use and stringency has been relieved by these certificates. The removal of Rear Admiral Stan ton by Secretary Herbert from his command of the United States fleet in Brazilian waters, for saluting the flag of Rear Admiral Mello, the Brazilian insurgent leader, was the sole topic of comment among naval officers Thurs day. They are mortified and disap pointed at his action and do not hesi tate to so express themselves. What ever may have been Commodore Stan ton’s explanation for his conduct lias not yet been divulged at the navy de partment. There will be no delay of action upon the silver bill in the house when the measure reaches that body from the sennte because of the want of a quorum. General Tracy, chairman of the steering committee of the repeal ers in the house, has been looking af ter the matter. With the aid of the house officials and postmaster and as sistant sergeant at nrrns, he made an account Wednesday night which show ed the presence of 260 members of the house in the city. This was a surprise, not only to him but to others. Working on the Turin. The ways and means committee com pleted the first rough draft of the tariff bill Thursday. Though it is not made public it is known that there has been a heavy cut all along the line iu all the schedules. The only increased tax on anything in tho bill is that on whisky, which will be increased from from 90 cents to SI. 10 on the gallon. It may be as high as SI.20 when the bill is finally completed. An increase of beer tax has also been decided upon. The sugar bounty will be repealed and a very small tax put upon raw sugar. The tax, however, will not be sufficient to increase the price of sugar. Of course the big cut may have n bad ef fect upon the revenue, but the com mittee will try to make up this differ ence either by nn income tax or au in heritance tax. If an income tax is provided for, incomes of $5,000 and over only will be taxed. Pence Keigns Supreme. Both in the senate and in the lobbies Wednesday was a quiet day. It is gen erally conceded on all hands now that the Voorhees bill and amendments are to be voted on. Senator Faulkner is making a strong effort to rally a ma jority for his amendment, but the leading senators do not think it possi ble to pass any amendment which has been offered. Senator Morgan has stated that he intends to intro duce au amendment to repeal the 10 per cent tax on state banks and to discuss it before a vote is taken. It is understood that a majority of the senate is in favor of this. The demo crats are committed to it, but the leading senators tell me that many who favor the repeal of the ten pier cent, tax on state banks will vote against it as an amendment to the Yoorhees bill in order that the president's recom mendation that the unconditional re peal bill without amendments or at tachments shall be adopited. Silver Men Inclined to Give \A'ny to a Vote. Whatever be the influence of Mr. Cleveland he is pracfically the winner now. Victory for tho anti-repealers has been turned into an unexpected surrender, aud the situation now is favorable to the passage of uncondi tional repeal, though experience has demonstrated that the situation may change again at any minute. The scenes about, the senate Tuesday were as lively and exciting as those of Monday. When the senate met and up to the hour of noon, the southern senators as well as the western silver senators were as firm as during the night sessions of two weeks ago. Senator Harris announced to Mr. Dubois in the lobby that he and his southern colleagues would see the universe destroyed before they would submit to saddling of this infamy upion the people. Mr. Dubois replied that the silver senators of the west would hold out eternally if the south ern democrats would stand by them. Shortly after this interview, Senator Vest, Senator Cockrell and Senator Harris went into a committee room together. They consulted for half an hour. When they reappeared Mr. Harris immedi ately sought Senator Dubois and in formed him that lie and his friends would abandon the fight and allow a vote to be taken. The Voorlu t*s Bill. There are twenty-seven amendments to the repeal bill which have been in troduced in the senate as “intended to be offered.” It is not generally be lieved that a very large pier cent ige of them will be ordered. Upion this con tingency will depend the time of the disposal of the bill after the voting is begun. Following is the full text of the Yoorhees bill which will be substi tuted iu the senate for the house bill: That so much of the act approve 1 July 4, 1S90. entitl d "An ac‘, directiu" the purehsso of silver bullion and the issue of treasury, notes .thereon, and for other purposes,” as di rects the secretary of the treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggre- pate amount of 4.5 0 004 ounces or so much thereof as may be offered iu each month at the price thereof not exceeding one dollar for three hundred and seventy-one and twenty- five one-lmndre tths grains'of pure silver, aid to is-ue in payment for such purchases treasury notes of the United States, and the same is hereby repealed. And it is hereby declared to b: the policy of the United States to continue the uso of both gold and sifver as standard money and to c in both gold and silver into money of equal imrin- sie exchangeable value, such equality to be se cured through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as will insure the maintenance of the paritv in value of the coins of the two metals, at d the equal power of everv dollar at all times in thomar- tets and in the payment of debts. Aud it is hereby further declared that th ■ efforts of tho government should be steadily directed in the., establishment of such a safe system of bimet- al ism as w 11 maintain at a’.l times the equal power of every dollar coined cr i-^ued by the United S aits in the marte s and in the pay ments of debts.

Shortly before noon Thursday the battleship Oregon, the first vessel of her class constructed on the Pacific coast, was launched from the ways at Union iron works in San Francisco, in the jiresence of one of tho greatest crowds of people which ever assem bled there to witness a similar event. The launch was entirely successful and the new battleship now lies in a little lagoon in front of the Union ironworks awaiting her completion, which will be pushed as rapidly as possible.

The Augusta, Ga., exchange has passed resolutions asking congress to repeal the tax on bank notes issued or paid out by state banks, a measure called for by the financial necessities of the federal government at the time of its imposition, but which has out lived the necessity, and, like other war measures, “should become a mat ter of history rather than remain an existing financial farce.” The ginhouse of E.

A Savannah dispatch of Wednesday is to the effect that the naval store market is on the verge of a boom. Tuesday night spirits of turpentine sold two cents higher than last week.

A Chicago special of Tuesday says: People are realizing that this is the last week of the exposition and it is doubtful whether they will stay away for anything less than a blizzard.

The only popular feature of the entertainment during the day will be the landing of Christo pher Columbus. The noted mariner will step aboard the Santa Maria and cruise around lake Michigan awhile. He will then come ashore opposite the manufacturers’ building, discover some ot Prof. Putnam,s New York Indian? and then thy'rest of the world’s fair. > WISE AND OTHERWISE.

A friend recommended August Flower and words cannot describe the admira tion in which I hold it. It has given me a new lease of life, which before was a burden.

Time has scattered the snowy flakes on her brow, pilowed deep) furrows on her cheeks, but is she not sweet and beautiful now? The lips which have kissed many a hot tear from the child ish cheek are the sweetest lips in all the world. The eye is dim, yet it glows with the rapt radiance of a holy love which can never fade. Oh, yes, she is a dear old mother. Her sands of time nre nearly run out, but feeble as she is they will go further and reach down lower for yon than any other on earth. You cannot walk into midnight where she cannot see you; you cannot enter a prison whose bars shall keep her out; you can never mount a scaf fold too high for her to reach that she may kiss and bless yon. In evidence of her deathless love, when the world shall des2>ise and for sake you—when it leaves you by the wayside to die unnoticed—the dear old mother will gather you up in her feeble arms, carry you home nnd tell yon all your virtues until you almost forget that your soul is disfigured by vices. Love her tenderly and cheer her de clining years with holy devotion.— Bugle Call. Keeping Lemonade “Just Right,” At a lawn p>artv tho lemonade table came in for most generous praise. Throughout the hours of the enter tainment the huge punch bowl, p>ack- ed with ice, ladled forth a rich, re freshing drink that never weakened into the insipid iced sour water that fair lemonade is apt to become after the first hour. The presiding genius of the lemonade stall was a well known New York woman, and to an inquiry as to how she so well kepjt ns the standard of her wares she replied, showing a quart jar of clear lemon juice, “I keep one or two more of these in reserve and add it by cupfuls os the ice weakens the drink, pjutting in more sugar, powdered of course, constantly.” And the result was per fection lemonade at all hours.—New York Times.
