To tho Ingenuity of Inventors there i hardly any limit. It -would, how ever. be a mistake to say that all In ventions, whether In the bud or In tho blossom, are as desirable, practically speaking, as they may be Ingenious In conception. We read, for Instance, thut a watchmaker nt Geneva proposes lb make a chronometer which will speak, Inutcad of ringing the time, when the button ts pressed. He has ilevdted a grmt deal of patient study to his In vention, the speaking process being pro duced hy means of a small revolving phonographic plats tn which preseea a "mall piece of steel. The vibrations re- euftlng give rise to words denoting the exact time. On the perfection of inven tions of this class—that Is to say. bf what may be celled the curious rather than tho useful order-much Ume nnd trouble are mient without. It appeara to us, much compensating advantages. A wpouklng chronomotcr would certainly be n curiosity in Its line, (but nothing more, elnce all people want to know is the exact time, and whether they nrc apprised ot the hour by ringing or words matters llttie. Tbe Geneva watchmaker la said to have grown wast ed and worn In the purault of his hob by—the production of a perfect speak ing time piece, which he has not yet Which Congra-s Has Washington.Correspondence N.

Don’t believe It? Well, I don't blame you, for In hla <My only s' few people knew he wns blind, snd even those he took tnrough the big building suspected that he could see." The speaker was John R McCar thy. the private secretary of Senator \\ bite and a veteran newspaper man. "The Nln.1 guide wxs old 'Professor Donaldson, as we called him In those days. He made Ms living for twenty years by showing vMtors about the capt- tol building, snd followed that calling until KQ. I used to wonder how he know when to turn the corridors, but he toM me one day that he not only knew the distances from one point to another, but that he wanted no better guide than the draughts of air. They never fulled to make hie location known to him. Don- aklmn would go out Into the senate gal lery with a pasty and point out the sen- •tore, whom he would describe, locating •hem at their seats. It was all right If they were on hand, and If they wern't the visitors generally would be too .laird to know tire difference. Another stgange thing about Donaldson was that he was an Inveterate gambler. He would make money In the day time and slake It on poker games si night. He curried a email black bey around with him on there occa sions. and the duty of the pirksntnny was to tell him what cards be had. Then be played, and played welL too.” FOREIGNERS UNEASY. LonSJon. Aug. id.—tbe ShansMti cor- rw pendent of the Cell trip News way*: There Is <xn uneasy feeling In Won T<u ffUNude of tho ntigfve Foreigner* .are arming them- zetvr*. ax they feur an attack. James B. McCreary, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, and one of the Democratic leaders of the house during the present semton of congress, said » representative of the press today: ''The house ♦ms pass***! more koo*! bills and enacted more Important legislation than any of Its predecessors in ten years, or any srith which I am familiar, and I have been watching the course of legisla tion for twenty years. The repeal ot the purchasing clause of the .Sherman silver act was of Immense Importance to the vi-hole country. We were In the midst of a financial panic when, the president called congress together,; and after the re peal of the bill the panic seemed to be checked. When the senate passed It and the president approved It. the monetary condition of the country Improved and bank failures ceased. “Then a bill was passed repealing the odious federal election lanv. dispensing s»’th supervisors and marshals at the polls and wiping from the statute books all* statutes which menaced the freedom of the ballot box. "There has been important legislation reclaiming about 60,000,000 acres of publio lands given by Republican congresses to railway corporations, and which, under the terms of the various acts, have not .been earned. These lands ought to lmve been heM for actual settlement, anil should never have been given to corpora tions. "The Chinese exclusion bill, which saved 68,000,000 by providing legislation which the Chinese accepted, rather than be deported; the bills to give effect to the Behring Sea, awards, which regulated our sealing Interests in Behring Sea, and the Hawa iian resolution, sustaining the president In withdrawing form the senate the an nexation treaty, which required our gov ernment to pay $3,500,000 for the Hawaiian Islands, are among the good and impor tant measures passed by the house. "The tariff bill is not iui sweeping and as comprehensive as I desired, but It Is the best tariff reform bill since 1857, when a Democratic congress amended the Wal ker tariff bill cf 1846, by reducing tariff rates to an average of 18 per cent. It should be remembered that the Republi can party has, by Its record, shown that It Is a hiigh protection party, because when it came Into power the average rate of duty waa 18 per cent. From 1863 to 1866 It raised this rate to an average rate of 40 per cent.; In 1883, to 41 per cent., and It reached its culmination In 1890, when the McKinley bill was passed, fixing the av erage rate at a fraction under 50 per cent. “The new tariff bill places wool, salt, lumber, farming machinery, cotton ties, cotton Ixigglng, binding twine and a num ber of other necessary articles on fhd tree list. The duty on woolen good* and cloth ing has been reduced from nn average rate of 93 per cent, to 48 per cent., and milliona of dollars annually will be saved to the people on clothing and woolen goods alone, and the average rate under the new tariff bill Is 88 per cent., as against an average of 50 per cent in the McKinley bill. "Tho sugar bounty, amounting to 612,- 000,000 annually, has been repeated, and, from my standpoint, the tax of 2 per cent, on Incomes Is a Just and proper tax, and will make these people who have gfown rich under the Iniquitous legi3la- latlon of the Republican party pay their part of federal taxation. Congress had to raise 630.000.000 annually in addition to the amount already provided for to pay the necessary expenses of the govern ment, and this couM-come only from in creased tariff ta'xatlon or from a tax on Incomes... - And I prefer the latter. passage of the bills enabling Utah, Ntiw Mexico and Arizona to come Into the 'Union are good bills. "I am sure business will begin reviving, now that the tariff bill has become a laiw, Confidence Is always necessary to prosper ity. There has been a wont of confidence for many months, but with the repeal of the three great and important acts parsed by Republicans, to-wlt: The purchasing clause of the Sherman rfiver bill, McKin ley tarlffblll and the federal election laws, and the feeling of security that always comes after such important legislation has been agreed upon, in my opinion It is certain to start business into the old chan nels. Money Is plentiful, the crops are good, and, with returning confidence, there must be returning prosperity. "Tbe expenses of the governmet have been reducedat this seslon of congress In every department, and the aggregate ap propriations are 628.000,000 less than at the last session of congress and 651,000,000 less than In the second session of the Reed congtea. Pension reforms have also been inaugurated, whereby fraudulent claims are being dropped, and pension appropria tions have been reduced over 630,000,000. "Indeed, I may say, ‘wo have fought a good fight, we have finished the course, we kept the faith.’ We havo done enough for one session. We will go on with the good work when congress raceta again." .

For flrirty-six years, in her modest and unobtrusive walk, she adorned tlio society of Monroe, was admired for her bright IntelleotuaL'ity, her great Indus try and her devotion to her womanly dullles, nnd loved for her benevolence. Those who knew her best admired and loved her most. As wife, mother, neighbor and friend she was endeared to nil, and her loss to Hie community cannot be replaced. With characteristic courage, sho re mained at home, alone with her little ones during the long years of the war, while, with her fullest approbation, her husband was with tiie nrmy tn Virginia.
