Greenbacks for Gold—The TariffBill — England and the Boundary—More Battle Ships—New York after the Convention, (From our Regular Correspondent.) Wasuineton, D.C., Jany. 8, ’96. President Cleveland may or may not have felt complimented when Senator Sherman offered a resolution providing that when greenbacks or U. S. Treas- ury notes are redeemed for gold. they shall not be reissued except for gold, but that resolution and a speech made in its favor by Mr. Sherman have been the most sensational occurrences of the week in Congress. It will be remem- bered that when Pr esident Cleveland in his annual messagé.and Secretary Car- lisle in his annual repcrt recommended the retirement of the greenbacks and Treasury notes as the best remedy for our financial troubles Senator Sherman was foremost among those republicans who hooted at the idea... Now Senator Shermam offers a resolution which, if it became a law, would probably result in retiring the greenbacks and Treasury notes, although he claims that it wouldn’t, The basis for his claim is not, however, a very substantial one. He figures that the law would work like the assurance of a bank cashier toa frightened depositor, that he could have his money if he wantedit; and that those who have been presenting these notes for redemption in gold will stop as soon as they, know that the notes so presented will not be again paid out for them to present again. The scrambling among those who want more: of the protection pork than the tariff bill which the House passed gives them has not been equalled since the McKinley bill was being made up. It has been and is making life miserable for the republican members of the Senate Finénce committee, which is now trying to decide in what shape the bill is to be reported back to the Sen- ate. The greed of those seeking pro- tection for special lines, at the expense of everybody else, would make tue scramble sutficiently disagreeable, but Presidential politics haye also been brought into it, The McKinleyites de- clare that the bill as passed by the House is in the interest of Reed’s can- didaey, and that they will have more Me- Kinleyism put into it, or the reason why it isn’t done. Democrats are not taking interest in the bill, althowgh the neurer it gets to McKinleyism the better it will suit them; they believe that the country: is as str rongly opposed to Me- Kinleyism n now as.it was when it clect- led the Democratic House of the fifty- second Congress and when it elected know The ng Cleveland President and gave the Dem- ‘ocrats control of both branches of the fifty-third. Congress wl-that, the nearer ‘the bill approaches the original Me- Kinle ria # Bill the | greater will be its j ofect 5 helping to elect ‘a Democratic Democrat- ic Senators have not agreed upon any programme on the tariff bill; but the ‘cates that atter putting the party on sfy record against the bill they will place no obstructions in the. way of reaching a yote.. Even, if, the bill, passes the ‘Senate in a shape to meet'the approval of Mr. Reed, who is to all intents and ; | Purposes the. House, it is. well-nigh certain that it will be vetoed by Presi- iki. uh? BETH Le neem - At Was Palm Ba “Bhi, fr de ‘uctiv Gd. Over Halt the town.

It is because the Julian calendar, in which the custom of adding a day to Febru- ary every tourth year .was introduced, provided that the additional day should be inserted not at the end of the month, but six days earlier, forming a second sixth day. Hence arose the word bis extile, which is still retained as the name of the year in which the additional day is inserted, though now it is added at the end of the month. ‘The name leap year refers to. the fact thut fora year after the insertion of the addiional day, each date ¢omes two days Tater in the week flan it came the previous year, instead - of on the following day of the week, as in ordinary. years, The dates: may be said: to leap over aday, and hence the miume. , N © Hope Erom Congress, We cannot Suy what Congress | will do; butif any. of our readers are in hopes that it will take .a step toward | free cUinage, He had better disabtise his mind imiBeaineely,. we rather think ‘there is but little for Congress to do.

Ten private cars, forming two special trains, were required to transport the Vander- bilts, for this christening of “Biltmore” was made the occasion of a family re- union, All the Vanderbilts, save Mrs. Willie K, and the’ Duchess ot Marlbo- pough,' were there. ‘George Vander- bilt is a quiet and modest young man.

Every hour or two New York and Boston express trains were arriving and departing, and it was always an interesting sight the day before Thanksgiving, when every train was running in two or three| sections, and each one drawn by two locoraotives, loaded down with. pas- sengers anxious to get to the old farm in time for the Thanksgiving dinner. ‘One snowy, nateoing day I sat in from Boston, for somehow I kind of smelled danger, asa railroad man often does, I knew the train was a heavy one, the rails slippery and that before it struck the cross- ing. it came down a heavy grade four miles long. Ouf at the other end of the depot was a great long bridge carrying the train off to the west, and also the tracks branching south to New York. On both these tracks stood huge locomotives blowing. off steam and seemingly in haste to couple on to the coming train, which was destined for both the south and west, and burry it off to its dostina- short, that train got the best of the engineer that day, owing to some defect in the airbrakes, and there was one of the most hair raising train runaways I guess I will ever witness. A mile up the grade I heard old Seth Mayoor, the engineer, making old No. 104. whistle for brakes in a way that made me turn cold. Almost at the same time the train came tearing. down over the street crossing and into the depot, going 60 miles an our, and I ro- member to this day and always will how cool Mayoor. looked»as he dash- ed by, blowing his whistle for dear life as a warning to ih him a clear track. “That they woul even. get those engines at the other end of the sta- tion out of the way.I thought was an impossibility, but they did.’ There were cool_men aboutithat place that day, and No. 104’s great Crawford whistle had given the warning. The switches were hastily set straight on to the bridge, and away dashed the waiting engine in. a race to got out of the way of the runaway train. It was a close shave, and it unnerv- ed me for a week, but. luck saved the day. ‘That runaway ran four miles be- fore it stopped, and- the engineer with the light engine tearing along | . ahead of it was beginning to wonder Buffalo, when the brakes worked and the rqnaway was brought toa stop.

These three are grog, the hornpipe and a pet animal, solace of the three. ‘There is scarce. ly a vessel afloat, from one of. our | | line of battleships down to a canal: | boat, that has not a two or four foot- ed peton béard, Sailors proverbially make pets of almost any animal they are shipmates with—elephants, bears, shéep, goats, monkeys, ga- zelles and raccoons among the mam- malia, bantam cocks, parrots, cock- atoos, magpies and sea gulls among bipeds, and even inhabitants of the oeean; such as seals and turtle, have been ‘laid under contribution to pro- vide amusement for our bluejackets! An elephant seems ‘‘a large or- der’’ as a sailor’s pet aboard ship, but who of the senior naval officers does not remember the vessel called by the nickname of H. M. 8. Mo-| nagerie, and the elephant on board of that paddle wheel frigate when they were on the Indian station. The elephant was regularly stationed and harnessed to the jib halyards, and when the order was given to “Make all plain sail,”’ he made a tri- umphant bellow. and ran along the waist until the pipe. was sounded to ‘Belay !’’. to the delonda est Car- thago of any toes that got into his way ! Admiral Sir G. W—— told me that:when he commanded an Indian troopship a full grown tiger was em- barked for passage to Ungland as a present from some Indian prince to the queen. It was a magnificent animal, and for many years after- ward was exhibited at the zoological gardens. Qne morning, about 5:30, the captain was awakened by a mes- senger, who. said, ‘Please sir, the tiger has broken loose!’ His reply was, ‘‘Lock my cabin door, and call mo when be’s in his cavo actin.” It appears that in cleaning the cage, tha men being then washing decks, the door of the cage had been un- bluejackets forward ranning up the rigging and the soldiers taking to the hammock nettingsand the burri- cane deck. The tiger ran aft; the men had not heard of its escape and were throwing buckets of water about. The scene appeared to puzzle the tiger. Atany rate,an old quarter- master realized the situation, and taking his lantern flashed it full in tho face of the tiger. He then took the animal by the soruff of the neck, ran it forward toits Gage and slam- med and fastened the door ina jiffy. Here is.ancther anecdote of a real pet, this time in the same ship. There are several officers now alive who can vouch for the truth of this story. Tho first lieytenant had a very jolly little monkey, quite a before dinner, on a guest night, the ship being in harbor, the first lieu- tenant went into his cabin with the choice Havana cigars rather hastily, the parts of which he threw over- board out of his cabin port. Then, filling his cigar case, as dinner was already on the table, he left the box on the table and burried to mess, It had been the custom for his monkey to follow him’ and wait by the table for a morsel of food now and again,. This evening, after some little time had elapsed, and the monkey did not appear, his owner, excusing himself for a minute, ran back to bis cabin to see what his pet trong imitative trait of character, it was generally up to some mischief only: Mk el imitated for as entered” the cabin, he was just in } tiie to see the last of his cherished Among ai ngs attributed to sin lac ee perhaps uy i | SP en free | ier SPO ig wi tay Bie OR rere Be We RAS re Se ae oe GIVES YOU U THEN NEWS FRESH EVERY AFTERNOON (EXCEPT SUNDAY) AND | 2 bison! nbd ane digas ™ 2 GREENVILLE FIRST, PITTCOUNTY SECOND, OUR POCKET BOOK THIRD. —PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY At: One Dollar Per Year. : y this Is the People’s Kaverite THE TOBACCO DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS AREGULAR FEATURE OF 1 HE PAPER, 1S ALONE WORTH MANY TIMES THE SUBSORIPTION PRICE, When you need 3@—<2-° i JOB PRINTING r= Don't forget the Rerector Office.

He had the steam turned on which made the interior of the building feél like summer time, while the mois- ture from the tobacco formed in great icicles that hung on the outside of the windows. Thick Darkness. A night was never darker (save the one in Egypt) than the early hours of Friday, night and there wasn’t a street lamp anywhere to give a ray of light. People who had to be out tumbled over each other, run on fences, fell in ditches, butted against trees, and got mixed up generally. It wasabadtime. Several just had to wait for the moon to rise so they could see how to get home. * Church Services Methodist church.—Sunday-school at 9:30 A. M. Preaching at 11 A. M. and 7 P. M. by Rev. N. H. D.
