HOUSE AND SENATE.
'I ho Discussion of Important Measures
Briefly Epitomized.
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, tho
vote standing 132 to 81.
Tuesday morning, in the almenco of
Speaker Crisp, Representative Baily
house. was appointed speaker pro tem of tho
Tho house proceeded in com¬
mittee of the w hole to tho further con¬
sideration of the anti-option hill.
Coombs, of New York, was tho Urst
speaker in opposition to tho bill.
AVhen tho house, at 12:15 Wcdncs-
day took up tho anti-option bill in
committee of the whole, it was w ith
the understanding that the debate
should close yvith adjournment Thurs¬
day, and a vote on the bill and pend¬
ing amendment bo taken after the
morning hour, Friday.
Speaker Crisp was still unable to
disekargo his duties in tho house
Thursday, and Representative Bailey
again took tho chair. Several bills
were passed under requests for iinuui-
motts consent. At 1 o’clock tho house
proceoded, in committee of the whole,
to further consider tho anti-option
bill, Air. Grosvenor being the lirst
speaker. He advocated tho passage of
the bill.
Til k senate.
No business of general interest was
transacted in the morning half hour
in tlio senate Alondny. At 10:30 the
tariff bill wits taken up, tlio pending
qiiestiou being off the first two para¬
graphs or the silk schedule—298 and
299—which had been reserved on Sat¬
urday. At tho request of Air. I’lntt,
the paragraphs went over without ac¬
tion until Tuesday.
Tho tariff bill was taken up in the
senate at 10:30 o’clock Tuesday, nud
the free list reached at noon. No ac¬
tion was taken on tho paragraph as to
when the bill is to take effect, that
question being left open. The amend¬
ment offered by Senator Jones 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 Hie border line between the
United States and Alexioo. Fifty par¬
agraphs of the free list have boon gone
over with very little delay or friction,
except in tl;#; matter of books, and the
action of tho li nance committee on
that, ns on all; other subjects, has pre¬
vailed.
The tariff bill was laid before tho
senate at 10:80 Wednesday, tho pend¬
ing question being paragraph 608,
placing salt on tho free list. Air. Pef-
fer moved to strike out the paragraph
and put salt on the dutiable list at 5
cents per hundred pounds. • The vote
resulted, yeas 24, nays 33. Air. Peffer
was not sustained by his co-populists,
Allen and Kyle, who voted \ ith
the democrats against liis motion. So
salt remains on the free list. Paragraph
641, “all su gars,” having been reached,
tho amendment of the finance commit¬
tee being to strike it out. Senator Al¬
drich demanded the yeas and nays,
saying that he wanted to know who
was in favor of free sugar and who was
not. The paragraph was struck out.
Yeas 33, nays 22. The senate lias fin¬
ished the free list part of tho bill.
In the Senate, Thursday, a bill was
introduced to define the boundaries of
the three judicial districts in Alabama
United and regulate tlio jurisdiction of the
States courts thereon. At
10:30 the tariff bill was taken tip, tho
pending question being on the income
tax sections. Air. Hill, of New York,
addressed the senate in opposition to
the tax. Air. Hill began his remarks
by announcing that, “we have now-
reached the consideration of one of
tho most important features of tlio
pending measure; important not only
because the tax which it seeks to im¬
pose, equals in the aggregate about one-
lifteenth of tho whole federal taxa¬
tion of the United States, but because
of the peculiar nature of the burden
as well as the vast and varied interests
which it injuriously affects. ” It took
Air. Hill two hours and three-quarters
to read his speech. It was well under-
stood, he said, in conclusion, that the
senators intended to vote on the income
tax sections, not according to their
convictions but according to the decree
of the party caucus. He trusted that
such a humiliating spectacle would not
be witnessed. It was even boasted by
some, he said, that the income tax was
the best feature of the tariff bill, if
thut wero so, then ho could only say,
in tho emphatic language of the sena-
tor from New Jersey (Smith), “God
help the democratic party.”

ing newspaper men. Troops were

etly. All the mines in the Birming¬
ham section are well guarded.

The treasury gold reserve Thursday

127,969, $1,500,000 less than the low-
water mark reached in the gold reserve
before it was built lip by the $50,000,-
000 bond issue. This reduction has
been brought about by the withdrawal
within the past two days for export to
Europe of $3,250,000. It was stated
in au unofficial way that New York
city banks would supply gold for the
continued export movement, but so
far as tho treasury is advised, up to

there is to bo found ill tho South a
force which cannot fail to build up the

then you will receive an impetus from

in a few years in a position of greater
progress and development than will be
found in any other portion of the
Union. (Applause,)

Nod to oyory broozo that passe* :
On tho hillsides rou ;h tl stoop.

O’er the point?
Apple blossoms grow o'er nil,
l’oop from every garden wall.
And fuim for her eneh day
Budded promises of Mny.
Apple blossoms, did she say?
Apple blossoms, (114 sho gay?
All, but thnt is Inr away
From tho human tldo on-driving,
Ever rushing, pushing, striving,
Surging through tho narrow street
Where the streams of Irani" moet,
From tho tramp of weary foot
In tho town.

Bkles themselves seem potrllte I
With their stony leaden gray.
Vet, I saw a flower to-day—
Could an apple blossom stray?

Ancient Musical Instruments.
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art
la New York City, there is an interest¬
ing collection of musical instruments
of all nations, many of which belong
to past centuries They lie silently in
tho glass eases; the strings of mando
lias and lutes that made sweet music
in days gone by are broken and
twisted, and the fingers that once
swept them have passed away, but
still the air seems trembling with
melody. Imagination pictures the
banquet-hall; the summer nights
when the troubadour sang songs under
his lady-love’s window ; or the Bedouin
camp in the desert, where the flute
and guitar were played during the
evening hour of repose. There are in
struinents here of all characters: rude
violins and banjo*, fashioned by sav¬
age hands, and dainty lyres inlaid
with gold and mother-of-pearl—in¬
struments which have played their
part in ancient ceremonies in far-away
India and China, in the castles of the
Middle Ages, aud in the African wil¬
derness. It is interesting to note that
all nations, in shaping musical instru¬
ments, have tried to make them beau¬
tiful to please the eye as well as to
produce sweet sounds. The stringed
instruments and flutes of savage races
are often grotesque, and even ugly, did to
civilized eyes, but the poor savage
his best He carved his instrument ns
well as he could, and also often
adorned it with whatever possession.—St. precious
trinkets he had in his
Nicholas.
