The President haB appointed Hon.

Mrs. John A. Logan is now rich,
and will reside in Washington. It
must be said to the credit of the re
publican party that it takes cure of
its widows and orphans.
The governor of Kansas has signed
a bill passed by the legislature of that
state giving the women the right to
vote in municipal elections. The New
York senate passed a similar bill.
Macon has raised a subscription
fund of $300 per month to advertise
the resources of the city, and as a con
sequence, men of means are daily ex
amining the situation for investments.
It may be that a man can love but
one woman in a life time, but if he
dosen’t get married too early he can
have lots of fun trying to find out
which woman it is that lie can love.—

The fact is that while most women
like to be as well dressed as their
means will permit, they would “save”
enough out of the waste of a bache
lor’s income to clothe themselves
neatly and keep a good table into the
bargain.
The Detroit Free Press indulges in
this prediction: “There are 118 farm
ers in the Connecticut Legislature,
and the six lawyers in that body will
tie the grangers up in hard knots and
lay them up on the shelves to dry be
fore the session Is half over.”
To wash lamp chimneys so they
will not crack, place the chimneys in
cold water, ana then gradually heat
until the boiling point is reached,
then allow them to cool slowly! By
repeating the operation several times
the glass becomes thoroughly anneal

had.
The Legislature of Texas has pass
ed a bill submitting to the voters of
the State, at the election to be held in
August next, a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the sale of spiritu
ous liquor; also a bill to bring suit
against the State of Kansas for cer
tain territory claimed by Texas. The
House of Representatives has passed
the bill establishing a railroad com
mission.
FEBRUARY.
This month, named after the Ro
man Goddess Febria or Februa, has,
for more than half its duration, the
characteristics of its younger sister,
January. It is cold, rainy and insa
lubrious, and illy named for the God
dess Februa who presided over a very
useful branch of purifications. It af
fords enjoyment of two celebrations,
that of Washington’s birthday on the
22nd, and of 8t. Valentines, on the
14th, who was so distinguished for
his love and charity. Some writers
have attributed the celebration to a
corrupt imitation of the Roman 8u-
percalia, when on the 14th, the young
men were engaged in drawing from a
box the names of young women which
had been deposited in it. The pres
ent plan, of celebration, has decided
ly the advantages, as the young men,
who drew the names of the girls, had
to whip the young ladies, who liked
it, because it insured their marriage
and good luck in the connubial state.
We have often thought that the pres
ent plan of celebrating St. Valentine's
Day, is barbariously inconsistent, for
the good saint suffered martyrdom
in the reign of the cruel Emperor,
Claudius, who was poisoned by the or
ders of his niece, Agrippina, whom
he had made his Queen. His deatli
occurred in the year of cur Lord 54.
It is best for us to look on the
bright side of tilings, and this would
make us prefer February to January.
We can hail February which some
writer bus styled “the month and
mother of Love.” Besides, it is bring
ing ns nearer to the time when we,
that is all, can enjoy the delicious pro
ductions of tile garden, and, even be
fore that, can delight in the warm
breezes as they coy gently with the
roses and lillies impeurled with dews,
and others* too, rich in streaming
gold, and all the bright hues of the
beautiful rainbow. Even now though
many of the trees of the forest are ut
terly bare, the skieB still cold and
grey, nature is at work among her
sweet and beautiful subjects, swelling
tlie bloom-buds and even opening
those of the peach and perhaps, some
others, to delight the eye and prom
ise ere long their sweet and ripened
juices to gratify our longing tastes.
The heralds of spring appear. The
tulips and hyacinths, the snow drops
and some other lovely (lower stems
are peeping up an inch or more from
the ground, giving promise of their
blooms and sweet smelling odors even
before the songs of the lark and the
mocking bird shall charm us with
their music. Hail then, to February!
the littlest of the monthly sisters, pre
ceding March, originally the first
month of the year so named by Ro-
malus in honor of his father, Mars,
the god of war. It is just upou us and
according to Roman fable, is entitled
to display less amiability manifested
in its high and blustering winds.

25tli.-On motion of Mr. Belmont, the
House insisted on Ita amendments to
the Senate Retaliation bill, and
Messrs. Belmont, Clements and Rice,
were appointed conferees. Various
matters were before the House but
there was no final action, and we pass
to the Senate. In that body Senator
Cockrell moved to substitute the
name of Senator Harris, for that of
Senator Ingalls, to take the place of
Senator Sherman as the presiding offi
cer of the Senate. The motion was
lost, yeas, 26, nays 39. Strict party
vote.
Senator Van Wyck addressed the
Senate on his resolution for the elec
tion of Senators direct by the people.
A message was read from the Presi
dent vetoing the bill for the erection
of a Post Office at Lynn, Mass., upon
the ground that there was no necessi
ty for it.
The Pleuro Pneumonia Bill was re
jected yeas 25; yeas 81. Senator Ed
munds offered, as a substitute, the ap
propriation of one inilliou of dollars
to be expended under the direction
of the President, and, in his discre
tion, through the Commissioner of
Agriculture, to aid the State authori
ties In preventing the spread of the
disease, the appropriation to expire
at the end of two years. This was
agreed to yeas, 34; nays 27.
The Pacific Railroad question was
discussed and Senator McPherson’s
motion to strike out the 4th section
was rejected. That motion was to
confer upon the President powers to
redeem, under certain circumstances,
mortgages and Liens on the roads
paramount to the right of title and in
terest of the United States. Senator
Edmunds moved to reBtqre section six,
authorizing the investment of the
sinking fund in subsidy bonds, or first
mortgage bonds. Agreed to, yeas 37;
nays 9.
Senator Flumb moved to amend by
adding several other subjects of in
quiry-such as the relations of Rail
roads to the interests of the commu
nities through which they pass, the
payment of taxes, especially upon
their lands, delay in taking out pat
ents for land, rates of freight and fare
discriminations, differential pools and
other devices. Agreed to.
The substitute was then agreed to
and the joint resolution, as amended
was passed and a conference asked.
Senators Hoar, Evarts and Pugh,
were appointed conferees. Adjourn
ed.
In the House on the 26th, Mr. Wil
lis moved that the rules be suspended
and the Senate Amendment be now
concurred in. Mr. Hepburn demand
ed the reading of the bill, (the River
and Harbor Appropriation bill.) Over
one hour was consumed in reading
the bill. A motion to non-concur in
the Senate amendment was agreed to
yeas 102; nays 38. Messrs, Willis, Blan
chard and Henderson were appointed
conferees on the bill.
A good deal of discussion took place
on the Naval Appropriation bill;final
ly the motion of Mr. Thomas, of Illi
nois, was agreed to that the vessels
for the Navy should be built under
contract, and as nearly as may be, in
compliance with the provisions of the
act of August 3, 1886. As thus amend
ed, the amendment, offered by Mr.
Sayer, of Texas, was agreed to, yeas
184; nays 89. Mr. Sayers amendment
made an appropriation to the effect
that certain vessels to be built should
not exceed more than $4,950,000, and
the bill was passed.
Although there was much discussion
afterwards, in the House there was
no action or conclusion upon other
matters.
In the [Senate Mr. Ingalls was in
stalled as presiding officer. He took
the oath and paid a high compliment
to Mr. Bherman, the retiring officer,
for his parliamentary learning, urbani
ty, accomplmhinents&c,and expressed
his grateful appreciation of the hon
or conferred upon him. A vote of
thunks was then, on motion of Sena
tor Harris, given the retiring presiding
officer.
The Diplomatic bill was taken up
and passed. Also the agr cultural ap
propriation bill was pussed with some
amendments.
The conference report on the House
bill to restrict the ownership of real
estate in Territories to American cit
izens was agreed to.

Committee, reported the bill appro
priating $20,000 for the completion of
the monument to Mary, the mother
of Washington, at Fredericksburg.
Passed.
The conference report on the Indian
Appropriation bill was presented and
agreed to.
The credentials of Mr. Stewart, of
Nevada, as Senator from Marcti 4th
next, were presented and filled.
After a brief secret session a num
ber of local bills on the calender were
passed.
The Senate bill to reimburse the de
positors of tlie Freedmen’s Savings
and Trust Company was taken up,
discussed, amended and passed; yeas,
38; nays 0. At 0:85 adjourned.
28th.-There seems to have been more
deluy in legislation, in tlie present
short session of Congress, than we re
member to have occurred for years.
It looks as if some members of Con
gress are determined if possible, to
have in extra session of Congress.
Many measures, passed by one House,
were opposed by tlie other, and con
ferees were appointed to settle the
points of difference. It is now certain
that many important measures must
be passed in great haste, or there must
be an extra session for which there
can be no excuse but the want of
proper attention to the public busi
ness by the respective Houses. In
stead of directing attention to the
public business before them, so essen
tial especially at a short session, ma
ny speeches seem to have been made
more for political eff eot than the aooorn-
pllshment of the object of legislation.
We are writing this on the 1st of
March and the Congress must adjourn
on the 4th. Mr. Randall defends the
committee on appropriations, which
has been charged with dilitoriness in
the performance of its duties. He
says the Sundry civil service was
passed by the House on December 19th
a very early date and tlie Senate kept
it 46 days, and sent it back to tne
House February 3rd, with amend
ments. It is now in conference with
a controversy about $4,000,000 added
by the Senate. The Fortification bill
is in conference. So is the District of
Columbia bill; so is the Post Ofllce Ap
propriation bill, the Deficiency bill,
Pacific Railroad claims, and the Leg
islative bills. The consideration of
this bill was suspended for proceed
ings in honor of Representative Cole,
recently deceased. Returning to the
bill the House adjourned having con
sidered but little over half of its con
tents.
Senate.—A Message from the Presi
dent, was received stating that it was
not compatible with public interests
to oommuuicate the correspondence
in reference to the seizure and sale of
the American Schooner, Rebecca, at
Tampico, and to the resignation of
the Minister to Mexico, General Jack-
son, stating that it is not “compatible
with public interest” to communicate
the correspondence in either case at
present.
Senator Brown, of Ga., submitted a
few remarks on the subject of the
Message, the substanoe of which was
that there was redress, after three
years of diplomatic correspondence,
intimating that this had been the
cause of Gen. Jackson’s resignation,
he believing that American citizens
had been imprisoned and shamefully
robbed of their property in a Mexican
port: and that robbery had been com
mitted with tlie aid and pretended au
thority of the local Mexican Court.
Senator Brown yielded the floor
term orarily, for the Naval Approprio-
printion bill which had just been re
ceived from the House. The bill was
read the first time. Tlie House La
bor Arbitration bill was taken up
and passed. The House bill against
tlie employment of convict or alien
labor upon public buildings, or works,
was passed without discussion. The
House bill for tlie adjustment of land
grants remaining unadjusted was
passed, and a conference was ordered
upon it.
Senator Vest offered an amendment
to the Pleuro-Pneumonia bill that
the $1,000,000, to be expended under
the direction of the President, should
require the assent of the State author
ities before being used. The amend
ment was lost, yeas 24; nays 26. After
extending the application of the bill
to swine plague, cholera, and other
contagious diseases, the bill was pass
ed, yeas 82; nays]19.
Tue question, in reference to the
Canada fisheries, was temporarily
dropped.
The Senate bill to prohibit the
mailing of newspapers and other pe
riodicals containing lottery advertise
ments was taken up and passed.
Food They Don't Want.
From the New York Star (Dem.)
The election of r Democratic Con
gressman in the Western district of
Rhode Island affords food for saluta
ry reflection to those critics of the ad
ministration who pretend to believe
that Cleveland’s policy is weakening
tiie party. Congressman Page will be
the first Democrat to represent Rhode
Island during a long series of years.
It Is Not-
From tlie Philadelphia Times (Dem.)
The people of the United States an
nually expend $900,000,000 for liquors,
$300,000,000 for tobacco, $505,000,000
for bread and $208,000,000 for meat.
Of the money expended for liquors, it
is estimated that $500,000,000 is taken
from tlie wages-workers of the land.
Is it surprising that prohibition, local
option and high license convulse every
State in the Union?
Mary Amelia Maginnis, wife of Ar
thur A. Maginnis, of New Orleans,
and a daughter of the late William M.
Tweed, of New York, died suddenly
in the former city on Thursday. Her
marriage which was solemnized some
sixteen years ago was ono of the most
elaborate that New York had ever
witnessed, rivo^ng in point of splen
dor and display any that has been
celebrated since. After her father's
disgrace, Mrs. Maginnis went but lit
tle into society but distributed chari
ty and aims with unstinted hand u
mong the poor. Her age was only
thirty-six and she retailed to an un
usual extent that physical beauty
which she possessed in former years.
The liquor question is receiving
a deal of attention ir. the general
assembly of New York, just at
this time. High license is the
prevailing idea, but the whole
movement points to tlie fact that
the liquor demon is losing its
sway, and that the peoplo are
determined to put him under
their feet.
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington. Frb. 88, 1887.
Editor Union-Rrpordkb:
The defeated Pension bill, the Cab
inet succession, the change of Inau
guration, day the new President of
the Senate, and the probable extra
session of the Senate are the matters
that have been most talked about
here during the past week.
The President is anxious to avoid
asking the Senate to remain in ses
sion after the fourth of March, but
when asked whether lie would be
ready to submit the important nouii
nations upon which he uesired its ac
tion in time to obviate such a neces
sity, he replied that it was impossible
for him to tell.
Tlie Inter-State Commerce nomi
nations have given him much perplex
ity, and now the question has been
raised aH to his Constitutional right
to appoint to a newly created office
which is to be filled by and with the
advice and consent of tha Senate,
while the Senate is not in session. It
is held by certain Senators that the
power by which the President fills
vacancies which have occurred dur
ing a vacation oannot bo applied to
the filling of a newly made office.
It seems that Mr. White, ex-Presi-
dent of Cornell University and ex-
Minister to Berlin, was much annoy
ed that the correspondence between
the President and himself in relation
his taking a place on the Inter-State
Commission should have been made
known to the public. He says the
President merely wrote him a letter
asking if his name eould be considered
in making up the Commission. It is
understood that Mr. White would
really have liked to accept the place
but was dissuaded by friends on the
assumption that the Commissioners
will fail to BAtisfy either the people or
the railroads and that however able
they inay be, they must inevitably in
cur the charge of incompeteucy.
On the Republican side of the Sen
ate Chamber there are four men each
whom would do credit to a dime mu
seum as the living skeleton. They
are Senators Ingalls, Sherman, Ma-
hone and Evarts. The longest and
lankest of them all is the gentleman
from Kansas, who lias just been
sworn in as president of the Senate
in place of Mr. Sherman, the next
most, attenuated member of the quar
totte. Mr. Ingalls is as stiff and stud
ied as it is possible to imagine, and
upon taking tlie vice-president’s chair
lie made a characteristic little speech
in honor of the retiring Senator with
which he (Mr. Ingalls) looked well
pleased. Beginning with a burst of
modesty he said he must inevitably
suffer disparagement by comparison
with tlie learning and parliamentary
skill, the urbanity and accomplish
ments of his illustrious predecessor,
but he would strive to equal him in
deyotion to the duty imposed upon
him, etc., which all of them promise.
There was an exciting scene in the
House of Representatives on the day
that it voted to sustain the Presi
dent’s veto of the Pauper Pension
Bill. The galleries were crowded to
their utmost capacity with spectators
who listened eagerly to all that was
said, and took part in the demonstra
tions of approval and disapproval.
Among the notable speeches made
was one by Gen. Bragg of Wisconsin,
who opened for the Democratic side.
He began by saying that it was time
for the Members of the House to got
out of the roseate bubble in which
they lived in Washington, prepared
for them by claim agents, and look
after the interests of the real soldier.
They had drifted along iuipeled by a
species of sympathetic impulse, re
gardless of reason or judgment, until
the period was reached which culmi
nated in the presentation and passage
of the most scandalous bills which
had over been sent to a President for
signature. The people of the coun
try, without regard to party, had ev
ery reason to be thankful that this
bill had been placed before an Execu
tive who had backbone enough to
meet the situation. The General had
proceeded but a short time when Gen.
Henderson, of Iowa, hoping to excite
him, inquired contemptuously, "Do
you stand by the President?” Mr.
Bragg coolly replied that no staff
commissary could excite him, he was
speaking for what he considered the
soldier's interest.
The first fashionable season winch
tlie mistress of the White House has
seen in her present position, closed a
week ago. One feature of it at least,
is worthy of note. Of tlie innumera
ble printed and spoken comments
made respecting her, she herself says
there lias not been ono hyper critical
remark that readied her. On the
contrary they have been complimen
tary and kindly in the highest degree.
When it is remembered that Mrs.Cleve-
land, without experience, entered
upon the most difficult social duty
that a woman could attempt, and
that she is the youngest mistress that
the Presidential Mansion ever had;
trusting solely to her own womanly
instincts, good breeding and good
heart, it is not speaking too strongly
to say that her success lias been real
ly wonderful.
HE MET MACAULAY.
Not long ago I was talking with an
old gentleman who has for years been
in the iron business^as a commission
merchant in a Western city, who, ear*
ly in his career, went to England to
make a study of iron manufacture in
conjunction with a visit for pleasure
“One day,” he said. “I went to a
London book store to find a certain
work on metallurgy I could not find
in America, and while there a pleas -
ant old gentleman came in and began
looking around pretty much as I was
doing. We cauie together presently,
and soon were chatting pleasantly on
books and other matters, and I told
him who I was and what I was
seeking. He told me he knew the
work, and, though it was rare,
thought we might find it, and at onoe
began a search through the rack-
shelves and out-of-the-way corners,
and finally came up smiling from a
dark place with the book in his hands.
I thanked him, and taking the vol
ume to the dealer, I ordered it laid
aside, and at the same time or
dered the late numbers of Macaulay’s
works, which were appearing in parts
and some of which I had brought to
America. I fold my new friend that
in my estimation Macaulay was the
greatest English writer, and that I
had read everything he had written
as far as I knew. He Bintled pleas
antly, and after a few moments* far
ther conversation we parted, with,
the hope of meeting again. The next
morning I left London for York, and
when load settled myself in the com
partment assigned me I found my
travelling companion to be the old
gentleman I had met in the book
store the day previously. I was glad
to see him and told hiui I was bound
for York, and he said he was going
there too. This pleased me and i
settled down for a good talk, for he
was exceedingly entertaining and
thoroughly the gentleman. We made
no stops for some time, and when we
did I noticed a large crowd at the sta
tion.
“ ‘There must be some distinguished
person aboard the train,’ I said ‘and
these people are here to see him.’
“‘Possibly.’ he answered, with a
smile like the one he gave me the
day before among the books, and we
continued our talk. At the next sta
tion there was a larger crowd, and
getting outside I asked what was go
ing on, and some one told me Lord.
Macaulay was on the train. I went
back to report to my friend.
“ ‘Lord Macaulay is on the train,’
I said; that’s what brings the people
out, and I’d give a good deal to see
him myself.’ He smiled again. ‘I am
Lord Macaulay, lie said with almost a
school-girl blush, and I reached out
with American enthusiasm arid shook
hands with him so heartily that he
laughed till tears ran down his cheeks.
“When we readied York he invited,
me to dine with him, and at the din
ner lie extended further invitatiou
forme to visit his home and his fami
ly, and I diil it, and to this day Ma
caulay is one of my brightest and
pleasantest memories.—Dram a t i a
Times.
GOOD METHODS.
Some farmers are successful, others
are not. Some live well, have the
comforts aud luxuries of life around
them; others live hard, work hard,,
have few of the comforts and none of
the luxuries. Some have a better-
start, perhaps, than others; better
farm and are better equipped; but it
will be found that the men who suc
ceed, who live well and make money
are men of method, meu who believe
in and have a system of management,,
men who think ou what they are do
ing, and do nothing at haphazard.
The speculator, dealer in futures and
stock jobbers may take chances, but
there is no chance work with the
farmer. Nature establishes laws which
are imperative, as to what may be
produced in certain claims and on
certain lands, while tlie law of supply
and demand regulate the prices, and
consequently the profit on what' is
produced. The thoughtful and suc
cessful farmer, while recognizing na
ture’s laws, will also give heed to the
law of supply and demand that he
may not waste his time in cultivating
what already is a drag upon the
market, and will consequently cause
loss to him. If experience provea
that there is more money in an acre
of grass than there is in an acre of
cotton, the wise farmer will give some
attention to grass and less to cotton;,
if one acre of potatoes will yield twice,
three or four times as much as an acre
of tobacco, the wise farmer will give
more attention to potatoes aud less
to tobacco; if one good cow is more
profitable than two poor ones; if the
farmer can save money and feel in
dependent by raising his own family
supplies and feed his stock himself,,
the wise farmer will raise them in
stead of buying, when it may some
times be hard to get the money to
buy with, from what he has got to
sell. The man of method thinks of
all this, lives well, makes and saves-
money; the man without method does
not, works hard, lives hard and is al
ways run to the throat-latch to make
ends meet—and they don’t always
do it.
