pose you give a banquet, and you invite a
vast number of friends, but one mau de
dines to come or treats your invitation with
indifference. Yon in tho course of twenty
years give twenty banquets, and the same
man is invited to them all and treats them all
in the same obnoxious way. After a while
you remove to nnother house larger and bet
ter, and you again invite your friends, but
send no Invitation to the man who declined
or neglected the other invitations
Are you to blame? Has ho a right
to expect to be invited after all
the indignities ho has done you? God in
this world has invited us all to tho banquot
of His grace. He invited us by His proyi
dence and Ilis spirit 865 days of every year
since wo knew our right hand from our Jeff,
If we declined it every timo or treated tho
invitation with Indifference and gave twenty
or forty or fifty years of indignity on our
part toward the banqueter, au l at last He

You might as well go oiit on the highlands

she has been three days out and expect her
to return as to call back an opportunity for
heaven when it once has sped away. All
heaven offered us as a gratuity, and for a
lifetime we refuso to take it, and then
rush on the bosses of Jehovah's buckler de
manding another chance. There ought to
be, there can be, there will be. no such
thing as posthumous opportunity. Thus
our common sense agrees with my text. “If
the tree fall toward the south or toward the
north, in the placo where the tree falJeth
there it shall be.”
You see this idea lifts this world up from
an unimportant way station to a platform of
stunendous issues and makes all eternity
whirl arouudthis hour. But one trial for
which all the preparation must be made in
this world or never made at all. That piles
up all the emphases and all the climaxes and
all the destinies into life here. No other
chance! O’j, how that augments the value
and importance of this chance!
Alexander with his army used to sujrround
acityandthen would lift a great light iu
token to the people that if they surrendered
before that light went ont ali would be well,
but if once the light went out then the bat
tering rams would swing against the wall,
and demolition and disaster would follow.
Well, all we need do for our present and
everlasting safety is to make surrender to
Christ, the King and Conqueror—surrender
of our hearts, surrender of our lives, sur
render of everything. Aud He keeps a great
light burning, light of gospel invitation, light
kindled with the wood of the cross and
flaming up against the dark night of our sin
and sorrow. Surrender while that great
light continues to burn, for after it goes out
there will be no otheropportunity of making
peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ. Talk of another chance ! Why, this
is a supernal chance!

but the judge has not yet taken it. While
we are waiting for his arrival I hear immor

from Madagascar to a soul that ascended
from America. The latter says. “I came

CONGRESSIONAL.
DAILY PROCEEDINGS OF BOTH
HOUSE AND SENATE.
The Discussion of Important Measures
Briefly Epitomized.
No timo was lost by the house
Thursday in getting to work on the
Indian appropriation bill, and ten
minutes after meeting, the house went
into committee of the whole on tho
Indian bill.
In the house, Friday, a resolution
was reported from the committee on
rules directing tho immediate consid¬
eration of the Indian appropriation
bill, beginning with page 52, under
the five minute rule, until 3:30 o’clock
when the previous question would
be considered as ordered on all
pending amendments, and on the pas¬
sage of the bill. Tho resolution was
passed as amended, fixing 3 :30 o’clock
Saturday as the hour for closing the
debate on the bill.
After ten days’ consideration of the
measure, the house, Saturday, oper¬
ating under the rule adopted Friday,
finally disposed of the Indian appro¬
priation bill substantially as reported
to the house by the committee on In¬
dian affairs. There were numerous
minor amendments agreed to in the
course of the debate upon the bill, but
tho most important, probably, was
thnt offered bv Mr. Coffeen, democrat,
of Wyoming, dire cting the secretary
of the interior to detail a special agent
to negotiate with the Shoshone and
Arapahoe Indians for the purchase of
a portion of the Shoshone reservatiou
in Wyoming.
The house spent the day Monday on
Mr. Hatch’s anti-option bill. An effort
was made by its opponents to prevent
its consideration, but they lost, the
vote standing 132 to 81.
Tuesday morning, in the absence of
Speaker Crisp, Representative Baily
was appointed speaker pro tem of the
house. Tho house proceeded in com¬
mittee of the whole to the further con¬
sideration of the anti-option bill.
Coombs, of New York, was the first
speaker in opposition to the bill,
THE SENATE.
The tariff bill was taken up at 10:30
in the senate, Thursday, the fiist para¬
graph in the wool schedule being the
one under consideration. Mr. Lodge
made an argument against placing
wool on the free list. Mr. Teller also
opposed placing wool on the free list.
The tariff bill was laid before the
senate Friday and Mr. Dolph took the
floor and resumed the speech he was
making against free wool when the sen¬
ate adjourned Thursday night. Mr.
Carey also spoke against putting coal
on the free list, and was followed by
Mr. Kyle in favor of it.
Among the business of the morning
half-hour in tho senato Saturday Avas
the passage of a senate bill releasing
and discharging the sureties of Osias
Morgan, land office receiver in Talla¬
hassee, Fla., from 1 866 to 18TO. The
tariff bill was taken up at 10:30 o’clock
and fair jjrogress was made in its con¬
sideration.
No business of general interest was
transacted in the morning half hour
in the senate Monday. At 10:30 the
tariff bill was taken up, the pending
question being on the first two para¬
graphs or the silk schedule—298 and
299—which had been reserved on Sat¬
urday. At tho request of Mr. Platt,
the paragraphs went over without ac¬
tion until Tuesday.
The tariff bill was taken up in the
senate at 10:30 o’clock Tuesday, and
the free list reached at noon. No ac¬
tion was taken on the paragraph as to
when the bill is to take effect, that
question being left open. The amend¬
ment offered by Senator Jbnes was
agreed to, adding a paragraph putting
on the free list cattle, horses, sheep,
or other domestic animals, that have
strayed or been driven for pasturage
across the border line between the
United States and Mexico. Fifty par¬
agraphs of the free list have been gone
over with very little delay or friction,
except in the matter of books, and the
action of tho finance committee on
that, as on all other subjects, has pre¬
vailed.

notifies them that, although they ac¬
cepted a redaction of 8 per cent from
the let of Mayi the railroad company
will not hold • the engineers to the
agreement which they made on May
let, but will only ask them to accept a
reduction of 4 per cent for June, July
and August, after which time the full
compensation agreed upon is to be re¬
stored.
To the trainmen south of the Ohio
a similar restoration of one-half the
reduction formerly agreed upon is
made. This restoration will equalize
all wage reductions with the arbitra¬
tors’ finding in the case of the en¬
gineers north of the Ohio, who agreed
upon a 4 per cent cut for three months.

Brief Notes Concerning the Business
of Our Government.
On the 20th and 21st of July exami¬
nations will be held under the aus¬
pices of the United States civil service
commissioners for matrons, teachers
and superintendents in the Indian
schools of the country.
Senator Gordon has introduced the
Atlanta exposition bill in the senate
and it has been referred to the commit¬
tee on education and labor. Senators
Gordon and Walsh will urge tho com¬
mittee to act upon it at once nud both
are sanguine that it will be attached
to the sundry civil bill by the senate.
The senatorial sugar investigation
committee has decided to summon ev¬
ery member of tho senate before it to
ascertain whether ho had any connec¬
tion with the sugar trust meu, whether
he has speculated in sugar, and whether
he knows anything about the efforts of
the trust to secure a change in tho
schedule.
The lighthouse tender Maple, with
President Cleveland on board, return¬
ed from her errise down the lower
Chesapeake bay and outside capes
Tuesday morning. The president re¬
mained on board until the white liouso
carriage and Private Secretary Thur
ber arrived, and was then driven to the
executive mansion. He lias been much
benetitted by the trip.
The senate committee on education
and labor unanimously decided to fa¬
vorably report the bill providing for
an appropriation of $200,000 for r
government exhibit at tho proposed
Cotton Exposition to be held at At¬
lanta, Ga., in the autumn of next year,
and decided to recommend that the
bill be appended to the sundry civil
appropriation bill as an amendment.
Coxey and Browne, of the common¬
weal movement, were granted a hear¬
ing by the senate committee on edu¬
cation and labor, Friday, to advocate
their “good roads” bill. They urged
the passage of the bill on the ground
that, if passed, it would provide em¬
ployment for the idle men of the coun¬
try. The hearing was not completed,
and it will bo resumed on the 27th
instant.
In the gerneal deficiency bill, re¬
ported to the house Monday, an ap¬
propriation of $1,700 is made to
Thomas E. Watson to pay the expenses
of his contest foi Major Black’s seat.
A similar amount is appropriated to
Major Black. Both gentlemen put in
an itemized account of their expendi¬
tures in obtaining evidence and in
lawyer’s fees to the committee on elec¬
tions and that committee recommended
that the appropriations committee al¬
low them $1,700.
The Nicaragua canal bill, which will
be reported to the house, lias so far
assumed tangibility that only one
point remains to be settled. That is
the question of tho kind of funds to be
issued by the government, and it has
been discussed at great length by tho
sub-committee, a most imjwrtunt
proposition being taken up which in¬
volves the coinage of silver to defray
in whole or part the expenses of tho
work. The idea of issuing silver met
with great favor from the committee¬
men.
The testimony given by Senator
Vest before the senate investigating
committee telling how the finance com¬
mittee had been held up by six demo¬
cratic senators and forced to make the
sugar schedule to suit tho trust, has
aroused many of the democrats of the
house to a pitch where they would
rather have no tariff legislation than
the senate trust measure. It now
seems probable that the senate will
send the bill back to the house by the
1st of July. Then there will be a long
and bitter fight in the conference com¬
mittee.
The senate refused Monday by an
almost unanimous vote to put coal on
the free list. The amendment was of¬
fered by Senator Hill, He and Sena¬
tor Irby, of South Carolina, were tho
only democrats who voted for it. The
three populists, however, voted with
them. Thus coal remains in the bill
with a duty of 40 cents a ton on it.
The senate made good progress on tho
bill, and the managers predict that a
final vote will be reached this week.
With the wool, coal, iron and sugar
schedules passed over, the income tax
is the only feature remaining in the
bill which is expected to excite a con¬
flict.
After more than a week’s de¬
bate the house finally passed the
Indian appropriation bill. This
closes up the list of appropriation
bills in the house with the ex¬
ception of the deficiency bill. The
only other important matters pending
before the house unacted on are the
anti-option bill, which will come up
in a few days; the Cotton States
and International exposition bill,
which is expected to go on the
sundry civil bill in the senate,
and the bankruptcy bill. The house
could adjourn within two weeks were
it not for the delay caused by the sen¬
ate. The banking and currency com¬
mittee has elected Messrs. Cox of Ten¬
nessee, Cobb of Missouri, Culberson
of Texas, Henderson of Illinois, anil
Hanger of Wisconsin as a committee
to prepare a banking bill. They will,
however, probably not be able to pre¬
pare it in time for action by congress
at this session.
SALE OF THE R. & D.
The Property Bought by Drexel, Mor¬
gan & Co., for $2,030,000.
The Richmond and Danville railroad
was sold at Richmond, Ya., under a de¬
cree of the United States circuit court.
The sale was conducted by the special
commissioners. The only bidders for
the property were Messrs. C. H.
Coster and A. J. Thomas, repre¬
senting Drexel, Morgan k Compa¬
ny reorganization committee. The
property was first put up separately, a
bid of $25,000 being offered for the
West Point Terminal, and 82,000,000
for the Richmond and Danvill, Messrs
Thomas and Coster making both bids.
The property was then offered as a
whole and was knocked down to the
representatives of Drexel, Morgan &

A New Summer Drink.
An English dairy paper tells of a
new uso for skim milk. After the milk
has been creamed by the centrifuge,
the skim milk is sterilized by heating
to destroy all bacteria or gorms of fer¬
ment, or other possible means of in¬
jury to its keeping. Tho milk is then
charged with pure carbonic acid gas
at a high pressure, and placed in sy¬
phon bottles, from which it can bo
drawn at any time. The milk so treat¬
ed, it is claimed, will remain sweet in¬
definitely. The medical profession
have taken hold of the carbonated
milk and are prescribing it for per¬
sons who have not been able to digest
whole milk. It is said to be very val¬
uable and most easily digested.
Now, if the scientists will furnish
some cheap and simple means by which
the farmer can charge the milk with
carbonic acid gas, this discovery may
be made valuable. Milk as an article
of human diet is not used to the extent
it should be, and if some one would
compile a milk cook-book showing the
various ways in which milk may be
made up into nutritious and appetiz¬
ing dishes, it would have a great econ¬
omic value. — Western Ploivman.
Steelyard.
The last syllable of “steelyard” does
not signify a measure, but owes its or¬
igin to the “yard,” or court, in London
where traders sold their steel, and which
was regulated by the * ‘Merchants of the
Steelyard.” In this yard, or court,
there would stand some kind of balance
for weighing the metal, and this moan¬
ing soon supplanted tho original word.
An English exhibitor at the World’s
fair has returned the medal and diplo¬
ma awarded on the ground that they
are without value. All exhibitors, they
say, received them, and amateurs,
whose exhibits were of a trifling char¬
acter, received awards equal in value
and merit to those made to the largest
and most important exhibitors.

Our Original Troy Pound.
In 1828, when Adams was president
of tho United States, congress author¬
ized or appointed a commission “to
bring to this country a troy pound ad¬
justed to tho British standard.” When
the commission returned tho president
received tho package and broke tho
seal in the presence of the distinguish¬
ed meu of America. This original
weight standard is now in the mint at
Philadelphia, and is not regarded as
being of ideal accuracy by any means.
It is made of a very poor quality of
brass, is rough in texture and hollow.
According to a law now in force, each
state is entitled to a copy or duplicate
of this standard.
It is the timo of year to remind our
readers that oats are good for man as

strength besides.
