nessee river at Sheffield, Ala., was pass
ed. Mr. O'Frrrall called up, and the

at 5 o’clock lilt 1 hou-e sdjourno. 1.
The hou e of representatives resolved
itself into a prize ting Thursday. The
contestants ter honors in the ring wore
Uerresentn ive. Turpin, of Alabama, and
Waugh, of Indiana. Hie tight wus the
result of a discussion ov.i ■ lie pension
appropriation hill. Mr. Turpin arose to
»»k Mr. Morse a question, lie wuutol
to know it it was uot true that then- was

Of course this . eat. t gem-ml laualuei,

was uni rue and that thrie was U o ,.i; b

words were hardly uttc-ud before Mr.
Jurpto hound'd across the open space in
front of the speaker's desk, and grabbed
the Indianian by the throat with hta left
hand nnd proceeded to pound him in the
face with right. Mr. Waugh fought
back, nnd tho pommeling became lively.
Members from nil parti of the house
lushed down the aisles to join in to stop
the fight. The republicans took (he aide
of Mr. Waugh while the democrat* were
ready to assist Mr. Turpin, though all
wero noxious to atop the fight. Speaker
(Irian happened to he on the floor near
the desk whon tho fight oecurrod, and,
although the house was in committee of
fho whole, tho speaker rushed to the
desk nnd assumed charge, rapping for
order and ordering the sergeant-at-arms
to quiet the disturbance and arrest the
disturbers if necessary. In a few mo
menta order was restored. Mr. Waugh
was cnirierl out ono door ond Mr. Turpin
from another: The house then immedi
ately adjourned.
In tho house, Friday, the car coupler
bill was pstponed for further considera
tion until Tuesday. The house narrowly
cm:sped anoihur exciting aceno. On this
occasion there was nothing political or
personal involved. Mr. Johnson, of In
diana, was railing tho attention of the
spoukor to what lie thought was a mis
apprehension on the part of the chair in
one of liis statements. Mr. Johnson was
aggressive in his manner ond in his
speech, lint at the direction of the
speaker lie rather ungracefully took his
scat, nnd tho houso resumed considera
tion of the pension appropriation.
'Tim houso got into a tangle Saturday
over the paragraph in llio pnstoffloe bill
appropriating $11)6,000 for special fast
mail facilities in tho south. Though
this appropriation is for carrying mails
on a fast schedule between Bos
ton, New York nnd Washington and
Atlanta to Now Orleans, and though
every town in the southern sta tea were
bencilted by it, Mr. Blount, of Georgia,
nnd Mr. Kyle, of Mississippi, opposed it
vigorously. Quite a heated debato aroso
over it, and, aa a consequence, the bill
was not conoluded. Upon Mr. Turner’s
motion a bill extending tho time granted
Colonel C. P. Goodyear for deepening
llio channel over tho outor liar of Bruns
wick, Ga., harbor, until tho 1st of No
vember was passed.

The Millet vs Elliott contest for the
“shoe string” or black district of South
Carolina was fo buvo come up for deci
sion Thursday in tho house committee ou
elections, but a quorum did not appear.
Four republicans and two democrats wero
present.
When Mr. II iko Smith shall have been
anchored in a cabinet chair lie will lie,
with two exceptions, the youngest mm
who ever held a cabinet position. Alex
ander Hamiltion was secretary of the
treasury at thirty, and Nathan Goff, of
West Virginia, was at the head of tho
navy depnrment at thirty-eight.
Tho senate, Thursday, refused to con
cur in the report, of the committee mi
the Mttidry civil bill cutting down tho
appropriation for Savannah harbor. The
million dollar appropriation made by the
houso was reinserted in tho bill, and it
will go through tho senate in this way,
though there is an amendment pro
viding that not more than three-fourths
of (lie appropriation shall lie expended
during the next fiscal year.
A careful cnnvaat of tho mouthers of
the senate appears to indicate that the
Hawaiian treaty will he ratified with
scvoml votes more than ths necessary
two-thirds to spare. It is understood
that members ol the foreign affairs corn-
mill,-o have sounded the temper of tho
senate nnd llnd that this conclusion is
warranted. The limit to opposition is
put at twenty votes, wltilo other aenators,
more sunguiue, believe that tho opposi
tion to the treaty cannot muster ovon
that number.

The appointment of J. Storling Hor

If there wus at any time a disposition
on the part of tho democrats to oppose
tho confirmation of Jttdgo Jackson, to ho
an associate justice of tile supreme court
of tho United Btatos, that opposition
vanished when tho souato went Into ex
ecutive session Saturday afternoon.
There was not even tho formality of a
vote. The executive journal wns read
containing tho nomination of Judge
Jackson, which lmd previously been re
ported favorably, anil when tho president
of tho senate said, “If there are no ob
jections tho nomination will stand enu-
lirmed," not a senator opened his mouth,
lu this quiet way all opposition disap

The total area of tho islands which
compose the government of Hawaii is 6, -
S40 square miles. There are eight islands,
ranging from an area of sixty-three square
miles in Kahoolamo, which is the small
eat, to 4,210 square miles in Hnwaii,
which is the largest. At the time of Capt.
Cook’s discovery of the islands, upwards
of a century ago, the population num
bered 200,000. Binco then the native
population has rapidly decreased. The
census of 1884 showed a total population
of 80,578—51,530 males and 20,039 fe
males.
The islands are to a great extent moun
tainous and volcanic, but the soil is
highly fertile and productive. Sugar and
rice arc the staple products. The sugar
exported from these islands in 1889 was
valued at $13,080,302.
The word Hawaii is pronounced by
Webster, He-wii-ee, the first syllable pro
nounced like he in her, and the accent is
on the second syllable. The government
of this country has beeu a constitutional
monarchy. In 1887 a new constitution
wus granted. Tho executive power
was vested in a sovereign and cabi
net of four members. The Sover-
eign Queen, Lilinokalnni recently sought
to replace tho constitution with one ex
tending her own powers, but her cabi
net refused to concur, and immediately
tho people rose in support of the cabinet,
and the Queen whs compelled to retire
»nd yield to the pupular desire. A pro
visional government was formed and a
commission wns appointed to go to tlte
United Htatcs Governmeut and ask for
annexation.
Mustard as Medicine.
Few domestic remedies are of greater
value thin common mustard. As a con
diment and agreeable simulant to the di
gestive organs, it is found upon most
every fable. Used iu this form it will
Hom:itlines remove obstinate hiccough.
The unbroken seed of the white mustard
is of some value as a laxative when taken
in tablespoon doses. Of more impor
tance is the tine of mustard as an emetic.
A tablcspoonful of ordinary ground mus
tard, taken in a cupful of warm water,
will produce copious vomiting in from
two to five minutes. Or. this account,
and because it is especially valuable In
emergencies, in cases of poisonings by
opium or other narcotics, it is without
an equal ns a domestic emetic.

Rights of the Child*
Ouc thought more—one that every pa
rent should consider; Children love in
dependence, desire something that they
ran call their own, hunger for a recogni
tion and a share in business matters.
Every child who has a lamb, a calf, a
crop of liis own, has love for the farm
deepened, nnd this feeling will last only
if in*' child is fairly dealt with when his
property is sold. You can make a child
love tho f irm by making home attract
ive, or lead him to hate it by making
him feel that somewhere else he will be
considered—not nt borne. A home when
the children arc taught to look toward
one who will share their cares, and where
they rre from infancy made partners in
the work, wid turn out strong-hearted
men ami will rarely be f«»r sale.
