VfisniNoton, June 10.—A rtligioua asso- ciation visited the President yesterday. Oue of the members of it is reported to have shaken Cleveland's hand rather gingerly, ■wihont congr .tolating him. The reluctant gentleman was lion. Tom Grady, who did not want Cleveland nominated atany price. Congressman Ciemints lies returned, lie looks tike a man who hud mended his fences satisfactorily. The partial Democratic victory in Oregon is attributed loan Independent Republican revolt against the personal tin worth iue.-s of candidates, there being no other issue, since the platforms were almost identical. It is a rebuke to the ring that elected Mitch ell to the Senate. It is a subject of remark atuoug Democrats hire that these Republican rebellions generally come after theiing Senator has been slipped in for six years.

Aspirations of a Grren Tlrrnian—Jumping from a Moving Train. From the Cleveland Leader, As a class locomotive engineers are not to be envied. Their position is one of great danger and responsibility, and ia obtained only by years of hard and exhaustive train ing. The hours are long and irregular and the duties so exacting that a trilling error mny undo the work of a lifetime. The trade or profession of an engineer differs in no respect from the other trades and profes sions, in that the first lessons, or prepar atory steps, mast be just ss thoroughly mustered. Of course the first step is to learn to keep np steam and to become fa miliarized with the UHea of the different parts of tho locomotive. Many a green fire man despairingly rolls his eyes toward tho steam gauge aud wonders if tho time will ever come when it will be an easy task to ke* p that slender needle above the century point. It comes to him. however, with practice, but not as quickly, perhaps, as does the knack of jpmping from a moving train without detriment to clothes or body. Most men staud on the stirrup with the foot farthest from the train held straight out. This is neither the safe nor the easy way. If you wish to jump from, say the right hand side, let your tight foot remain on the stirrup, and swinging well back put your left footjunderneath.^When you strike the ground your teet are in such position ns to be ready for the next step, or if you do fall it will invariably be away from the train, nnd not under the wheels. Engineers who have never bad an acci dent, and have always been noted for their careful running, have been known to in continently throw over reds for greens and mnke a bad failure in general, showing be yond a doubt their total inability to dis tinguish colors. Yet these samo men would never run past a red light or fail to stop when the proper Bignal color was shown. The explanation generally given red SWEET GIRL GRADUATES.

LA GRANGE METHODIST COLLEGE. Washington, Juno 10. —In the House, Caine, of Ut»h, withdrew bin objection to the it porting of E<imnnds's Hiiti-poh g-miy bill from the committee on the Judiciary, and tbe uicasuro was placed on the House calendar. TheHousn went into committee of the hole on the legislative appropriation bill. The pending question was on the point of order made by Morrison, of Illinois, against the words “in full compensati m" where they occur in the general appropriating clause of the bill. Holman argued Against the point, nnd called attention to the fact that for the past t*n years these words hud been incorporated in every legislative bill. The question pre sented wjw whether the House would,under its rules, impose a limitation on the ex penditure of public money. If it could not it had almost abtudoned its power to con trol the expenditure of public money. Morriton said that the gentleman's argu ment wuk based on an old rule of tho Honse. A different rule bad l ten made, and a rule to which the gentleman from In diana was under obligation to pay some re spect. The House had declared in that rule that when in any branch of the pnblio service the compensation of ofllcers is fixed by law, the law could not be changed on en appropriation bill. The rule said to the gentlemen that it was i , . , . - .. . ,v. , * « las duty to appropriate money ““'Pitied is that, although a r which the law bod d-terniined should be “1“ look re . d toh, “> I® 1 b ®,, appropriated for tbe purpose, anil if any trained, , *?“, e *f. e ”f nce , b , aa gentleman believed that too much or too blm ‘that thnt particular shade of light little wsa being uppropriatcd.be hud notkina or , ,?8 signifies danger.

After routine morning business, Beck called up his bill to prohibit members of Congress from accepting retaineis or em ployment from railroad ccffinauies which bavo received land grants or peenniaiy aid from Congress. Beck stated that be bad no remarks to make upon it, and asked (or its immediate consideration. Edmunds moved its reference to the com mittee on the judiciary. Beck aaid it would be aa well to vote the bill down at once as to refer it to that com mittee. Edmunds remarked that ho wonld move ita reference to the committee on finance, if that wonld suit Beck better. Tbi. did not snit Beck any better. Then Edmonds repeated his motion to refer it to the committee on the judiciary. On this the yeas and nays were called, and the motion was rejected by a vote of 21 to 24.

The ravages of tbo English sparrow, he addi il, were very mncli worse than those of rice birds and amount ed to many millions of dcllura annually. Sparrows were rapidly on the increase.

CANNIBALS ON TIIK CONGO. The Story of a White Alan who Lived Fif teen Mouths Among Them. Abont a year ago a report was telegraphed over tbe world that tbo whites in some of the Upper Congo stations had been killed and eaten by cannibals. The report was not believed, because a few while men had traveled up and down the river for a year or two without discovering evidences of cannibalism except in one tribe. Stanley’s recently published book threw no light on tho subject of Congo canni bals, though it did recall the appalling ru mor ctil a*, among someof the tribes that tho whites were very fond of eating black peo- • tie. The report that tho whites on tne Upper Jliver had become food for the na rives proved fulse, us was expected, and re cently a good deal of information has been brought* back abont the cannibal tribe whose numerous villages lino the river for a long distance abont 800 miles from its mouth. The Congo State is on good terms with this tribe, the Baugallas, and has a station in the midst of them. It was the Bangal- las who sallied out in their big war canoes aud t ave Stanley the fiercest reception he encountered when ho first forced his way down the river. As is usual with cannibul tribes, they are superior in courage, pby sique, and mental ability to the surround ing peoples, and they lord it over a consid erable urea. Mr. Wtstmark, who lies lived among them for fifteen months, has just lectured in France on their peculiarities, end chiefiy on the practice of anthropoph agy as it exists among them. According to him they engage in the practice upon the death of well-to-do or in fluential men, when slaves are killed at tbe graves of the deceased persons, so that they may accompany their master and minister to their wants in the ether world. It has been the enstom to sacrifice at least twenty victims at tbe death of every important per son. Bound hand and foot tbe poor wretehea are behoaded, and half ot them are buriod in the grave cf their master. The bodies of tho other ten nre reserved for tho big fete that concludes tbe funeral ceremo nies. Native beer in greet quantities is prepared days in advanee of the feast. Tbe fiesn of tbo murdered slaves is placed in great earthen pots fnll of water, and boiled until half tbe water has evaporated, and then the banquet is ready to begin. The orgie continnes fot a day or two nn til all tbe refreshments are exhausted and a large part of tbe male population ia dead drunk. Tbe Congo missionaries appear to think tlint tbe Bangallaa are sadly lu need i t nforinatory influences, and tbey intend to establish a station among them.
