Radical Pressure for an Extra Session
W shinglun Special to Herald
There is an increasing pressure from va
rious quarters and interests for an extra
session of Congress. The President does
not wish to call Congress together, bnt he
will not set himself ngainst any very gene
ral wish of tho party leaders, and the ques
tion twill undoubtedly be considered add
discussed at the next cabinet meeting, on
Friday. Tho narrow majority of tho Re
publicans in the House makes it improba
ble that the President would call an extra
session before the middlo of May or Jane,
by which time special elections can bo call
ed to fill tho places nowvaeautof Messrs.
Fernando Wood, Morton, Conger and Frye.
The Republicans had elected to tho next
House before they had lost Me**” - Morton,
Conger andFryo, 147 seats, just a majority.
They counted on five or six Republican
Grcenbackers. but tho present financial
situation, the loss of the. funding bdl and
the feeling aroused in the West by the
banka makes the Groenbackera inclined to
think a Rood deal more of their own organ
ization than they did three months ago.
The Uopubiicau* will not venture on an ex

Bninrd by a Claim.
Washington Star
Many years ago tho late Thomas IL Ben
ton introduced in Congress a bill to pay a
claim of Mr. Joseph Clymer, a resident of
a Western State, and then in the pride and
strength of early manhood. Mr. Clymer
had transported army supplies for the gov
ernment across tho country UjjH Paso,
then way out upon the frontier, and he
claimed that a balance of was due
him from the government. Clymer was
worth at that time thesnng fortune of
about #40,000 or #30,000. Mr. Benton said
in substance to him; “Clymer, certainly I
will introduce this claim for you und do all
in my i>ower to pass it. But let me tell yon
on© thing* If you press tho claim it will
ruin you. It will mako you a poor man
and will destroy your peace of mindbefore
you gut tho money, if you over do. Bat 111
light it for you, if you say bo." Of course,
Mr. Clymer did not believe anything of the
kind, und therefore he insisted upon urg
ing bU claim. Last Wednesday or Thurs
day tho claim was passod and signed by
the President for the original sum. It had
gone through one house or the other of
Congress ropcatedly, but could never be
got tbrongh both in tho same Congress. Mr.
Clymer, when he finally got ins monoy, wns
nu old man, and as Benton had predicted,
he had spent all of his fortune in pressing

Tho husband of a certain Nashville lady
was, b. fore his marriage, a furious swoaror
Through the wife's influence ho left off this
bad habit, excoptono favorite cuss word,
which clung to him under all circumstances,
and which, to tho great annoyance of the
good wife, ho would unconsciously uso
everywhere—the word “damn.”
Several months sine© he arose ono cola
morning, before tho servant came in to
make the wood lire, and, after a long e.iort
and the fruitless burning of many matches,
turned and Raid: ‘'iSaUie, this damn fire
won't burn.” To this, tho good wifo oarn-
tally said: “Fes, tho damn wood is too
green, and the damn servant has forgotten
to bring up any damn kindling to start the
damn tire with.” Ho looked at his wifo in
absolute dismay, bnt at once saw the point
and said nothing.
A longer period than usual passed with
out the favorite expletive being used, but
later on bo wanted a basket* and said, after
looking for it: “Sallie, whore has tho uamn
basket got to?” The wife quietly, as if put

cook to get you the damn basket—damn
her, she keeps it.” As bofore, he said noth

anything it is not whore she is. tjhe says

Thurman and Hamllu a* Lightning
Calculator*.
Washington Correspondent Baltimore Sun.
A remarkable instonco of tho ignorance
of figures attaching to the average Con
gressman is shown in the exploit of .sena
tors Thurman and Hamlin in counting up
the electoral vote on tho second Wednesday
of February. These two Senators wore
the tellers on the part of the Senate, and
after the votes had all been opened and
announced they were fussing and l’aming
over the figures without being able to
reach a satisfactory conclusion. Vico
President Wheeler did not wait for them,
hut, of course, knowing tho vote cost for
the different candidates, announced it, and
adjourned tho joint convention of tho.tffo
Houses. The Senate tellers then repaired
to the offico of the Secretary of tho Senate
to complete their figuring nnd make up
tha formal roport to go on the official
record. Representative Crowley, of New
York, ono of the House tellers, related in
an amusing way, at the Starin dinner last
night, how he was sent for by the Senate
tellers to help fix it up. On entering the
secretary’s office he found the two venera
ble Senators In a great quandary. They
knew that Garfield mid Arthur were elec
ted, but in summing up their figures elec
ted Hancock and English by quite* deci
ded majority. They went. over the figure*
again and again, but could see no solution
of the difficulty. On investigation it was
found that Mr. Thurman had counted tho
thirty-fivo votes of New York for Han
cock, nnd Mr. Hamlin had kindly dono the
same thing,, with the vufo ftl Aqyinont.
Judge 'i human excused himself by saying
that ho never pretended 10 be much at fig
ures, r.nd Mr. Hamlin could dono more
than give vent to the well known New
England oppression, —Will, I do declare.”
TOO MUCH RELIGIOX.
Belas the Experience or a Tramp
The north wind doth blow
And we will have enow.
And what 1 will do why I don't sec;
’ To seenre mo some hash
A big window I’ll smash
And then I’ll be sent to keg fac-to-ree.
A tramp hummed the above to himself
to a “Pirates of Penzance” air, as he stood
at tho north end of the Monongahela
bridge, andjbe chili winds of autumn
whistled through the apertures in his care
worn ulster.
“My friend,” observed a sympathetic re
porter, “the world seems to have gone
hard with you.”
“It has,” returned the tramp, wiping
away a tear with the tail of his ulster. “It
has. I am a ruined man.”
“I should judge so,” said the scribe.
“You wonldn’t guess what ruined me,”
remarked the tramp. He dove into his
pocket, probed out a toby stump, ignited
it, took a puff and gazed gloomily lu the
direction of Sligo.
“Booze ?” suggested the Bcribe. “No.”
“Mother-in-law?”
“No; never was married.”
“Chuck-lack, poker, faro, wine, wo
men ?”
“None of those.”
“What then?”
The tramp daintily knocked the ashes
off his toby with his little finger, and
withdrawing his gaze from Sligo, fastened
It on the reporter. Ho had a sort of sun
burned mustache, and, like Monsieur Re-
gaud, his mustache went up aud his nose
came down, as he said:
“Too much religious training.”
“Tell me about It”—and the scribe, of
fering the tramp a cigar from his scanty
hoard, drew him to tho Monongahela
House steps, where tho tramp, gathering
his nlster about his attenuated legs, spoke
as follows between whiffs of Ills cigar,
blowing the smoke through his nose in
the most intense enjoyment:
“I had the misfortune to be bom of
poor but religious parents. My father was
a stern old Covenanter; he is a stern old
Covenanter yet. One of his ideas was
that a boy should work all the time and
never have any sport or relaxation. He
had never heard of that beautiful senti
ment, ‘All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy/and if he had heard it he would
have paid no attention to it. He was a
bard old customer." Here the tramp ap
peared to be gazing down the dim vista
of years, and, as he chewed down the
end of his toby vigorously, he continued:
“Yes, the old man was a religious
bigot; he was a Puritanical sort of a
cuss, and I have no respect for him. I
dislike to say that, but the truth must be
told.”
While our reporter was admiring the
regard the tramp had for the truth, that
person said:
“I will tell you the simple story of my
life. Did you ever go to a country
church?”
“Never went to any except on biz to re
port a sermon.”
“Well, I did. I was, I may say, com
pelled to go. The old man, you see, used
to follow me up with a club and had to do
it. That is the reason why religion never
looked pleasant to me. I always associat
ed it with a considerable amount of mis
ery. I remember the preacher In the lit
tle country chnrch to which I used logo.
He had a corn on lii3 back and a crack in
his voice, and never preached anything
but hell and damnation. That wasn’t
very pleasant fora sensitive boy like I was.
You see, I didn’t have much in this world
and I hated to be told that I would most
likely be downed in the next. Have yon
another toby?”
“Yes,” and the reporter gave him one.
The tramp ignited it and proceeded:
“My mother died when I was a small
kid, and the old man ruled me with a rod
of iron of the Presbyterian order. He
was a penurious rooster and used to make
me go two mile* to Sunday-school In my
bare feet for fear I would wear out mv
siioo*. Ou. time ne paralyzed mo ny
givlug me three cents to spend as I pleased.
The recollection of that three cents is the
one bright spot of my life, and I have
never been able to discover what occas
ioned this spurt of generosity on his part.
You can imagine that there was uot a
vast amount of hilarity In my early career.
The old man was methodical. He had a
Presbyterian Idea that it was a good thing
to whale all the children every Saturday
night, In order to get their minds
Into the. proper religious frame
for the following Sunday. It teas a
good thing for him, too, bccauso ho had
the dyspepsia, and the exercise occasioned
by the whaliug process was beneficial to
him, but it produced in the minds of my
brothers and sisters and myself a diaboli
cal antagonism to the church that we felt
was the cause of all our trouble, and from
which none of us have ever recovered.
\Ye are all infidels.”
He looked like an infidel. The report
er asked him if he would have “some
thing,” and he said he would. Ho was
invited to a hostelrie hard by and, by
tho dimensions of the drink ha absorbed,
the writer felt that he had not tasted liq
uor for sixteen thousand years.
“Did you know,” said the tramp, as ho
wiped off his mustache, “that I often
tlimk I am liko Adam ?”
“Why?”
“Because Adam never was a hoy, and,
in point of fun, I never was a boy. My
boyhood days were an abnormal mixture of
catccbism and hard work. I never had a
top; never had a kite; never had any candy
or peanuts; never had any thing but re
ligion, and that was crammed into mo so
lively that I was foundered with it.”
Was there never any pleasantness in
your life beyond the three cent episode
mentioned?
“Well, yes, there was," observed the
tramp, brightening up. “One day I went
ostensibly to Sunday-school, but the old
man didn’t have his eagle eye on me, and
I played hook. That was one of the hap
piest days of my life. I sat on the
churchyard fence and piped off the tomb
stones. You wouldn’t think there was
much consolation in^a tombstone, would
you?” ,
“I have neverscen anytliingparticularly
cheerful about a tombstone,” returned the
scribe.
‘•Well, to me, as compared to the cate
chism grind and the humpbacked preach
er’s brimstone theory, It was a regular
variety show. I never enjoyed anything
so much as I did when I sat on that fence
and ate my meagre lunch and spelled out
the names on the tombstones. It was an
immense relief for me to speculate about
the fellows who were lying quietly under
the waving grass, with the lights aud
shadows playing above tbeir last resting
places, and the old churchyard looked so
peaceful and calm that I wished I could
be put away myself. I wondered whether
any of the sleepers bad ever been kicked
and cuffed about in order to be made reli
gious, and if so, whether it ever worked
with any of them.”
“What conclusion did yon come to r
“None. While I was revolving the
thing In my mind, the old man yanked
me off the fence and whalloped blazes out
of me for playing hopk.”
Here tho tramp buttoned up his fragile
ulster, and casting a glance along the
wharf said ho wanted to steal a ride as far
as Cincinnati on the Ajax.
“How did the thing terminate between
yon and the old man?” asked the repor-
“Oh, when I got old enough I licked
the old man and cut loose. Haven’t seen
him since. Don’t want to see hhn. I
might have been respectable and a tolera
ble Christian; as It is, I am an outcast and
an Infidel." And then the tramp hustled
off in the direction of the Point to look for
the Ajax. ‘ ' •

SOMETHIXG .VEIT.
The Discovery of a Specie* ol Fish
with on Ovarium In the Head.
In the piscatorial line I was fortunate
enough to make a very strange discovery.
Noticing that the back-waters of the
River Mangar and an adjacent brook
contained quantities of fish, I set about
capturing some, /md obtained niue
different species. Among them was one
which, 1 was assured, did not deposit its
eggs, or even lay them at all. Tho ova,
I was told, were contained in the beat,
of the fish, where they were incubated,
tho young finding their exit through the
mouth of the parent. To say that I was
skeptical of this fish with an ovarium in
its head is but to feebly express my
feelings; but, noticing a strange develop
ment and discoloration of the head in sev
eral specimens I had obtained, I deter
mined to investigate the matter thorough
ly. Accordingly, I selected a living in
dividual as favorably conditioned as possi
blc, and confined it in a glass vessel.
On the second day after the in arce-
ratton, surely enough, to my Inexpressible
delight, threo tiny fish made their apoear-
ance, bnt Irom whence it is impossible to
say. Tho following day three more mi -
tbeir appearance, and' It was easy to .sen
from the troubled movements of tha fish
and its continned gasping that a busy time
was at hand. On the third day the young
appeared in greater number, which
caused' me to institute a watch. After no
greja length of time I was rewarded by
seeing the fish commence gasping furious
ly, and I noticed through the transparency
of the lower jaw a something that had the
appearance of a membrane, but which
might have been the young fish itself,
working about inside. After about ten
convulsive movements, out sho t the new
ly born individual from tho exact centre
of the mouth of the parent fish, thus defi
nitely settling tho question. Altogether,
tho number of young produced was about
100, of which some 40 were dead. After
the fourth day no more made
their appearance, and the head of the fish
was a pitiful sight to behold, it being al
most transparent and very much shrunk.
The fish is a very small one, not
exceeding two inches in length, which
perhaps accounts for Us being overlooked
by others. It has four or five black liori.
zontal bands, which, while the fish is in
what I presume it is not incorrect to call
the parturient state, are illuminated by
tiny spots, having a brilliaDt phosphores
cent appearance. Besides the ovarium,
the whole of its organs are contained in
the fore part of the body, tho posterior
portion being nothing but flesh and bone.
The rent is situated as nearly as possible
In the centre of the belly. Whether it is the
female that Incubates the ova, or whether
the case Is repeated oftheSpauish batrach-
ian where the female deposits the spawn in
the mouth ofthe male,there to be hatched,
I cannot say definitely, but judging from
the change of color in the fish during the
incubating period, I should say that the
male had little to do with it. I secured
several specimens of tho fish, which will be
forwarded in due course from Biltpn to
England for thorough investigation, and I
am in hopes of being able, at some later
>eriod, of once more observing the fish In
ts living state. I shall also endeavor to
bring homo some live specimens, as the
fish seems to be pretty hardy .—London

HEROISM OF THE BOEUS.
The Battle of Npltitop—A Remark-
nblo Scene.
The battle of Spitzkop, in South Africa,
between the Britisli forces under Sir
George Coltey, on the one side, and the
natives, the Dutch Boers, on the other,
must be regarded as one of Uie most ex
traordinary battles in alt history. The
death of Sir George Colley, the British
commander, takes from the service a 1
brave, energetic, capabio commander,
u hom ^tbe British army can_ ill
state that the shot which "killed Genera
Colley was fired at only four paces from
him. Bnt it is not the death of this gal
lant leader that constitutes the most re
markable feature of Mils extraordinary
battle. The noteworthy facts are these:
A British force of 3,000, under cover of
night, succeeded, unkuownte their enemy,
in crawling, on their hands and knees, up
the steep height of the Spitzkop, which
completely commanded the forces of the
Boers at the foot of the hill on the other
side, and upon them the invaders at day
break opened fire all along the line. The
Dutchmen were not only surprised but
outnumbered; they were but two thou
sand, and their foe moreover now had tho
advantage of position. He poured down
upon them a raking fire, which the Boers
iromptiy returned. It seem3 to have
teen a warmly contested battle of mus
ketry for several hours, the hill being too
steep to permit the British to drag up
howitzers or any kind of mountain gun.
The issses were considerable on both
sides, and both sides held their ground
aud continued the battle. At length the
fire of the Boers suddenly became
what is described as “a terrific broad
side”—a continuous discharge of bullets.
The British line, notwithstand’ug its ad
vantage ol a commanding position,
wavered. By great effort it was reformed,
and then the Boers poured in such rak
ing and continuous volleys (firing, let it
i>c remembered, up hill), that the entire
Britisli line wavered, broke in confusion,
and fled in wild terror down the hill. ‘ It

A Leavenworth, Kansas, dispatch says
there is much talic there of a scandalous
fight between the treasurer of the Bern
hardt company and the manager, Mr.
Mayer. The facts, as far as learned, are
that Mr. Abbey left the company on
Wednesday and went to Milwaukee, leav
ing Mayer in charge. He, though clothed
with brief power, ruled the company with
«n iron band.
While at the New Opera-house ho got
Into a quarrel with the treasurer about
letting in a number of people, llot words
ensued, and the qnarrel culminated in a
hand-to-hand combat, when they em
barked on the train that was to take Bern
hardt to Quincy. The row began about
2 o’clock, and was reported by a baggage
man who was at the depot to collect a bill
of $22:
It is said that tho two men had been
wrangling, and that Mayer had been pret
ty cross during the day. We banded over
the bills to Mayer and he handed them
over to the other fellow. He said to May
er, “Here are some bills to be paid.”
Mayer Baid: “Why don’t you pay
them ?”
“Why don’t you give,mo 3ome money
to pay them with ? " said the treasure].
“Mayer said: “How much do you
want ? I’ve got a couple of hundred dol
lars.”
“Why don’t you give It to me then?”
asked the treasurer.
“Well,” said Mayer, “it is my individ
ual money, bnt I can let you have what
you want to pay the bills.”
“Give it to me then,” said the treas
urer.
Mayer shook his fist at him, and tho
treasurer said: “You have been insult
ing me ail day, aud I will stand it no
longer.”
“I have not Insulted you,” said Mayer.
“Yes, you have insulted me,” said the
treasurer, and lie drew back and struck
Mayer a powerful blow on the left side of
the face, just under the eye, inflicting a
wound from which the blood spurted out
all over our bills. Mayer staggered back
against the door of the stale-room, and
was caught by a young attendant in
charge of the bedding car, who got in
between them, and endeavored to prevent
further trouble. Mayer said: “Sir, you
are dono with this company.”
Tho treasurer said: “I don’t care for
you or this company either.”
Mayer threw his hands around the at
tendant and found a pistol in bis pocket,
which he leveled at the treasurer. The
attendant, seeing tho pistol, said: “For
God’s sake, don’t slioot.” The treasurer
drew his pistol aud started toward Mayer.
Some men rushed in and got hold of him
before he could do anything, and threw
his hands up.
M’lle Bernhardt appeared on the scene,
excited and unmindful of her wardrobe.
She was attired in a night-gown, her beau
tiful hair hanging loosely down her back,
it as did on the starve. The neck of her
robe de null was trimmed with ruffles,
very narrow edged, with plain Valen

after the now fleeing anil utterly de
moralized foe, poured tu a terrible fire
upon them as they fled. Nineteen
officers are killed, wounded, captured
or missing. The number of men
killed on either side is not definitely
stated, but the loss is evidently severe.
It is very rare, in any war, that one
<-ide is able, against an equal or superior
number, to dislodge an opposing army
from such a steep height, even' by strata
gem—much more by steady, open, gallant
lighting. Such a thing may have occurred,
bi;l wc do not recall the instance. It does
not appaar, from the accounts, that the
Boers used anything but their muskets.
The entire occurrence wears an atr of the
old heroic type, and without the testimo
ny of the beaten party the story would be
incredible.
Naturally enough, theso repeated re
verses to British arms in South Africa Are
beginning to force upon army men and
government officials in London the un
welcome consideration of stopping this
bloody business; the losses are becoming
too serious. Thus far the invaders have
not been able even to enter tho Trans
vaal, the territory of the Boers. All the
fighting has becnon the Natal side of the
border; and it grows farther and farther
from the border itself. Moreover, the
British are now cordially hated by the
peoplo ofthe Natal country, as well as by
those of the Orange Free State. Out.of
botli of theso pleasant lands have the En
glishmen successively driven these Dntch
Boers during the past 40 years. They have
no right, but the right of might, to any of
those lands. The Boers were peaceable
farmers. They were driven out
by force of arms, first from the Natal
country and into the region which they
settled and called the Orange Free State.
There the invaders subsequently followed
them, and after a single battle drove them
across tlio river Vaal—trans-Vaai, across
the Vaal. Hero for years the Boers have
lived in peace, except for such difficulties
as they had with the Bechuanas or native

Capt. Lawson has written a hook about

Eastman*, March 9.—Among the many
evidences of our prosperity may be men
tioned tbe laigo and growing landed in
terests continually changing hands. Per
haps tho largest landed proprietors in our
midst are Messrs. McArthur & Griffin,
real estate agents of this place. It is esti
mated that they control one hundred and
fifty thousand acres, and may in a few
days own and control five hundred thous
and acres, and have disposed of about for
ty thousand acres by lease or sale, at an
average price of eighty-five cents an acre
for turpentine purposes, and two dollars
an acre for saw mill purposes, and from
one to fire dollars per acre for farming
lauds, according to location, condition and
improvements.
There is a growing demand for all tlm
ber, turpentine aud farm lands and tbe
prospect for emigration from Europe and
from our own State and contiguous
States steadily improves. Our
immediate section is attracting
great attention. Visitors here
at our popular Uplands Hotel speak
toud in praise of the genial and balmy
climate, and tbe cleverness and hospitality
of ourpeople. The enterprising gentlemen
first mentioned have done and arc doing
a vast amount of substantial good for this
country. Identified with every public insti
tution and enterprise wbicli promises ma
terial aid to the country, they liavo con
tributed largely to tho growing develop
ment of this favored section, and are do
ing all in tbeir power in an active co-oper
ation with tho indefatigable Fontaln to
advance the material interests of Georgia.
As an evidence of this, the firm lias
furnished and are furnishing about seven'
teen saw mills, and about twenty turpen
tine stills, the latter of which Lave an
average capacity of about four thousand
barrels of rosin a year, and about
eight hundred barrels of spirits
of turpentine. These gentlemen have
in thefr sale aud lease of lands realized
about one hundred thousand dollars in
the past twelve months. They have also
furnished, fully equipped, three sawmills
and furnished the timber to run them. In
addition to this Mr. McArthur is exten
sively engaged in sheep husbandry aud
lias about 5,000 acres uuder wire fenco
for a pasture. Mr. Griffin is interested in
Flo ids, has a large Interest in Orange
county, cultivating oranges. It is esti
mated that the firm is worth over $200,-
000. The foregoing is inter
esting since it shows what may be done
in this much favored section, and how
easy it is for those in quest of lauds aud a
healthy and genial climate to make ar
rangements on easy terms with perfectly
responsible parties.

Perry, March 10.—About noon to-day
horse and wagon belonging to Mr. Bryan
Brown had started with a trunk to thp de
pot when the horse took fright and turned
suddenly around, threw the trunk and
driver oat, overturned the wagon and
made the entire circuit of the square,
dodging from side to side of the street and
leaving fragments of the wagon in his
tracks. On two sides of the square he
nearly demolished the fences, theu ran
into Mr. O’Pry’s sulky, from which the
horse had fortunately just been removed.
Mr. O’Pry and another gentleman at
tempted to stop him, but were obliged to
flee for safety. At this hour of tho day
there are usually many school-children on
the streets,but providentially none were in-

art. Mr. Henry Wilder, who won the
prize In the tournament last
week, is considered the best
skater among the young
and Miss Ella Gibson
the most charming and graceful on the
skates of any of the fair tex. This is a
healthful as well as a fascinating exercise,
aud far more innocent in its moral ten
dency than the “round dance" and should
be encouraged, as young people naturally
want some amusement. I tried skating
one night and liked ever so much,only the
floor kept flying up and striking mo on
tho back of my head. I could not see
anything funny about It, but everybody
most killed themselves laughing, and to
avoid such a tragedy, I suspended the
business. And “I aui not skating any,

Bybow, March 11.—In an issue of your
paper some weeks ago we gave the report
of the loes of our fellow-townsman, Mr.
C. C. Richardson, he having left for Spar
tanburg, South Carolina, to engage in the
practice of law. On reaching that place
he learned that he could not be admitted
to the bar in that State before the meeting
of tho Supreme Court, which would not
convene before June next. This being
the case, and Mr. Richardson also being
quite unwell, he returned home, and ex
pects to remain here until tlio meeting of
tbe Supreme Court. Mr. Richarasou
gives a very iavorabio account of Spartan-
burg. Tbe city has 4,000 inhabitants
and the county 40,000, and among
that large number of people there are
only twenty-two lawyers, making a tine
place for the profession. He says, in
speaking to the sheriff of the county, he
fonnd the law business very extensive,
mat his predecessor made annually out of
tbe office eight thousand dollars, and that
he expected to get at least five thousand
dollars yearly out of it himself, so long as
he held it. The justice courts there pay
a handsome profit, from four to five hun
dred dollars a year. At the last term of
the Superior Court seventy-five cases were
returned, which of course makes it a pros
perous place for tho lawyer.
And still they leave. Mr. A. T. Har
per, of this neighborhood, left a few days
ago for Baltimore, to attend a commeiclal
college of that place. Could have done
just as well to have patronized home in
stitutions. But distance lends enchant
ment to the view.
Our little village seems to boon tbe
front, another dwelling lionse Is now go

receiving goods and rapidly disposing of
them. So far as tbe advance of the place
in education, we are well pleased. Prof.

of Mercer University, and who lias
had charge of the school of this place for
the past two years, is rapidly growing in

last year.
Hawkin’syille, Ga., March 10.—Tho
tax put upon “commercial travelers” by
our city fathers has met advocates and
opponents. The advocates allege that, as
they have to pay specific tax to do busi
ness, so ought the drummers. The oppo
nents say the measure is injurious to the
interests of our town, and that while nom
inally a tax on drummers, it is a lax on
the people, for tho drummers wifi make it
out of the merchant aud tbe merchant out
of the people, and that the small amount
realized will not compensate for the preju
dice starred up and Injury that will accrue.
Some of our attorneys think tbe tax unau

The Chronicle records the following
incident as having occurred in front of
the National Museum, in Washingron, on
Friday night: While a boozy “cabby” was
curled np inside his hack, he was awak
ened by tlio door being pulled suddenly
open aud a hand jerking at his coat in a
quick, imperative manner.
“Wake up I wake up! for God's sake!''
said a startled voice that, in a calmer
moment, would have been silvery sweet.
“Come with me, and I’ll give you twenty
dollars.”
The dazed driver of the vehicle raised
his weary head, and his eyes fell upon a
beautiful face, frightened blue eyes and
trembling lips—a glorious woman, who
was all excitement.
“My name is . You know me;
you took my husband and myseit to
mentioning a grand party that occurred
recently. “Now he is hero with another
woman. O, heaven I that I should have to
say it! Let me get in the carriage; I will
send one of the officers to tel! him that a

out here. When he comes to tbo door of
the hack I’ll mako him get in, and then
you drive off.”
Iu vain tho driver expostulated, and
said that he was engaged to stay there
and get his part?. The poor woman
would not take no for an answer, and
the sight ofa crisp new bank note so ex
cited the avaricious desires ofthe hack-

as near the main door as he could get.

BED-BOOM SECRETS,
As Betray«1 by a Trailer.a. Peaaale.
Women’s caprices regarding their beds
are numerous and sometimes peculiar.
The habit of looking under the bed for a
man is invariable, as everybody knows,
even with those women in whom the dis
covery of a man might reasonably be sup
posed to cause no fright. Where is tbe
married man who ever presumes to inter
fere with bis wife’s exact management of
every sheet, pillow and quilt? Maidens
are Just as finicky as matrons about tbeir
bods and bed-clotbes. All the old stories
about their citcumspection in goiug to
bed are based on fact. Tbeir night
gowns receive about as much attention v
their dresses for daytime wear. The
most popular garments for women just
now have either a yoke or a box plait be
hind to hold the tuluess, white the fronts
are trimmed long and square like a man’s
shirt. There may-be three lengthwise box-
plaits behind. A single wide ruffle or else
two ruffles, with the outer one quite nar
row, make a good trimming for tho neck
of the gown. Sometimes the-e uffies are
box-plaited, edged with plain Valenciennes
lace, and there is a lengthwise row of
stitching between tbe box-plaits. The
square shirt front is theu formed of open
work embroidery, showing the red or blue
chemise underneath, if the wearer retains
such a garment at night, or her own sur
face if she doesn’t. Tbe spots of embroid
ery alternate with squares of lace; or else
there are rows of insertion separated by
pufls, either straight or in diagonal clus
ters, or perhaps there are as mauy as eight
rows of beading, through which Is run
very narrow satin ribbon, ivory-white
ribbon is preferred to colors for all divin
ity at present.
Coquetry in night clothes in as much
indulged in as ever. Tbe coy maiden is
often as careful as a bride iu arraying her
self foi sleep. Even beads are now quite
extensively used in the embroidery ofthe
bosoms, making a fine surface, truly, to
abrade the wearer’s flesh, if sho be given
to lying on her face. The day of the
night-cap is completely gone. Few old
women aud no girls now make themselves
frightful by covering their beads with caps.
A new practice among girls is to sleep
with their hair flowing free, and the sight
of it spreading out over a white pillow is
certainly very winsome; but there are
tangles in tbe morning to pay for it, and
a more sensible plan is to use a net. Fink
and blue ribbons in knots at tbe should
ers, baby fashion, is one ofthe new kinks;
and the extreme of absurdity is reached
wbeu a night-gown is discarded altogeth
er, and the anna, legs and bosom are left
bare ail night by a mere apology
for a chemise. This nonsense, however, is
not much indulged in by respectable
women. A novel night robe shown in tho
stores is a modification of the much
ridiculed chomiloon. It has both sleeves
and trousers attached to tbe body. Tha
wearer gets into it through a silt np and
down the front, and then buttons herself
iu. The cut !s jaunty, the trimmings
elaborate, and the idea seems to success
fully combine taste and utility. It is cut
to fit the figure loosely, and if the figure
be reasonably good tho effect ought to be
quite entrancing. Night gloves are a lie .v
toilet device. They are made of cloth or
undressed kid, and are worn with a view
to keep the bauds soft and white. Some
of them are alleged by the dealers to be
medicated. While on this subject I may
as well say that with tho increasing U3e
of porous plasters, liver pads, heart discs
and electric breastplates the body of tiie
average woman when she undresses for
bed is grotesquely spotted.
Quilts of white satin, linen and cotton
serve as the ground for embellishments by
brush, needle aud decalcemanio. Some
of these coverings of sleep arobeautltul
as well a3 gorgeous. Floral desigus are
most common, but I have seen on a quilt
MWflg fr/JJSe bjabrid^ cqjfigg
t’vsehe. Quilts for babies’ cribs are elab-
needles. By the way, a growing lasuiuu
as to the beds separates husbands and
wives at night. Spaniards, Cubans and
South Americans always sleep singly.
Tho bridal chamber at Windsor hotel is
at tliis very time furnished with two beds,
an extra one having been put iu for a Cu
ban couple ou their honeymoon tour—and
the thermometer nearly evfery night
at zero. A not inconsiderable cumber of
wealthy New Yotk families seize eagerly
upon • foreign customs, and 1 they
have now taken np tbe one-in-a bsd idea.
Probably they are right, viewed from
a sanitary standpoint, and the physicians
generally encourage them. Still, 6otne
persons gain by having bed-fellows young
er and with greater vitality than them
selves, the scientific conclusion-being
that the weaker draw health from the
stronger. This point is involved in a
matrimonial squabble just now the talk
of our fashionable society. Mr. A. is 60
years old, and somewhat decrepit. His
wife is thirty, buxom and abounding in
ruddy health. Sho wanted to introduce
the two-bed fashion. Ho objected. Site
urged it on tho ground that all their set
were doing so. He would not consent.
They quarreled outright. She refused to
sleep with him. He consulted with law
yers about a divorce, but they told him
her action did imt amount to a refusal of
marital rights.—Clara Bell in Cincinnati

BEECHER IX TEARS.
Tke Unquenchable Scandal Beeallesl
at tbe Opening mt Ills Bevlval.
Beecher begau his revivaI,SAys the New
York Sun of the 8th, in
tho lecture room of ids
church yesterday afternoon. There was
a iragraut bouquet upon his table, and the
richly dressed ladies who glided in shook
a variety of perfumes from their laces,
their embroidered handkerchiefs and their
nosegays. There was a good sprinkling
of men, but they were principally tiie
richer members, who could get away from
business early. Mr. Thomas G. Shear
man, who sat upon ono of tho side seats,
wept copiously. Beecher said it was not
to be a meeting for exhortation, hut that
he wished those who had experiences to
relatototcll them briefly, and to pray
earnestly and sincerely.
Requests for praye*s carao from every
part ofthe room. To one lady who asked
i 'or prayers for her son, Beecher said:
“GL, I knew him almost before he was
born. I knew his father and mother
When they were children.”
Tho Rev. Edward Beecher led In prayer
for those for whom prayers had been re
quested, and Beecher followed, ne was
much overcome by emotion, and wept
freely, untlL his eyes and cheeks were
red.
As the meeting was about to close Mr.
Thomas G. Shearman said that be had
received news of the - death in a distant
land of one of the most devoted friends of
Plymouth Church, who, during tbe trials
through which the church had passed,
was one of the pastor's fervent aud use
ful friends. He referred to Mrs. Maria
Ovlngton, the wife of Mr. E. J. Ovington.
[Mrs. Ovington took Mrs. Elizabeth
Tilton to her home when site quitted her
husband's house at tbe outbreak of the
Beecher scandal, and kept Mrs. Tilton as
her guest until after the triai of the fa
mous case ot Tilton against Beecher. She
was one of tne principal witnesses for the
defense upon that triai. During her stay
with Mrs. Ovington Mrs. Tilton made sev
eral statements acquitting her pastor of
the charges of adultery which Theodore
Tilton made against him, but upon leav
ing Mrs. Ovlngton’s and the circle of
friends in Plymouth Church she recalled
these statements and published a card
confirming her husband’s charges—which
she still insists are true.]
Mr. Shearman buret into tears as he
tneutioued Mrs. Ovingtoa’s name, and
was unable to proceed until he had dried
his eyes. Hu said that he did not feci sail'
tor her, but felt that The had gone to
Heaven. Mr. Shearman saiiLtliat he did
not believe that the church fully appreci
ated what she had done for it and Its pas
tor, and added that aa he looked back be
saw bow great her service was during tbe
trial through which the church had
passed.
