| WHAT AILED M'CUEt He Tcleif to Break a Ram of the Habit of Frijjhtenlng the LailleH. Jim McCue, rancher, politician, philosopher and horse doctor, walked on the ferryboat with a crutch the other ffliy. He also had one arm in a sling and his head bamiaged. “What's the matter, Jim?’’ inquired two or three acquaintances. “I’ll bet Hiiy man in the crowd S2O ho can butt harder and longer than any i ram or billygoat in the state,” responded Jim irrelevantly, “but I guess I’ve broken him of it.” “You look as if yon had been broken some yourself,” suggested one. “Well, to tell the truth, I did get jammed around a little. I’ve been breaking it ram of the butting habit. This rain was raised a pet, and that's what makes -him so sassy. He knows who to tackle too. He won’t toueh a man, because he knows he’d get a fence rail frazzled out over his head, but a woman he will butt clear over into the next pasture. “The other morning this ram joltei] a lady friend of mine clear across the field | and through la picket fence, and I ( thought it was about time to euro him of the habit. . I put on an old calico dress, tied on an old sunbonnet, and, concealing a sledge hammer under my apron, sauntered down through the field. “The minute the ram saw me lie dropped all the business he had on hand and came over to have some fun with me. He squared off, shook his head und made a run for me. When I stepped to one side to get a good swing at hiin with a sledge hammer, the blamed old dress tripped me, and I fell down. . 1 started to get up, but that ram was behind me, aud I turned two somersaults before I hit the ground again. 1 didn’t stand any chance at all. He just kept lifting me up until he got me over against the fence, and then he lit into me. He jammed me down against the fence, then backed off aud hit me another crack, and then another and another, till he thought he'd broken every rib in my body. Finally he jammed me clear through the bottom rail, ami I managed to crawl to the house. “But I got even this morning. I had the hired men take a green oak log, dress it up in woman's clothes and set it swinging from the limb. That buck lost a horn the first time he hit it,.and it wasn't long Till the second went the same way. When I left it, he was meeting it half way every time it swung back at him. and I wouldn’t wonder if he ain’t worn down pretty close to the tail by this time. ” —San Francisco Post. Ministers’ Pay. Why do not country Christian people give at least a decent support to their ministers? That solemn problem recurs every now and again. The city minister receives mere than he is worth, is petted, caressed, fondled and sent to Europe whenever he has the toothache or mumps and gets to feel that he is an idol to be worshipped. The country minister starves to death on no salary at all and gets to look as though he had been shot through a knothole.. It is to be hoped he will have a good time iii heaven, for he has anything but a good time here. One of these poor creatures, not 1.(10 miles from New York, was so wretchedly <4l that.his parishioners got up an (ntertainmeht as a benefit for him. They were very careful to extract from the sum total every expense to which t-h<#’ hud been put, and when the net sum was handed to him it amounted to just SI. 79' Think of that, ye small folk wlio want the gospel of brotherly love preached to you and think to cheat the.

POLITICAL DEBATES Sharp Personal Exchanges Between Some of the Senators, APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED. By a Wrangle Over the PcnMmi Lrginltitirtn In the House Only About a Half Dozen Minor Bills Were Panned Larue 1 Delegation Ort* to Witness the Lnunch!ng ol the lowa. Washington, Man'll 2S.—The senate indulged in an acrimonious political <lebate yesterday which developed much personal and, party feeling, and brought <>n two sharp personal exchanges between Mr. Hill and Mr. Elkins, and between Mr. Brice and Mr. Elkins. The etnet rewersy a)•<ise'-tiver—Mix Hill’s mo—tion to strike out from the pending appropriation bill the proposed rhange of the date of assembling the New Mexico legislature from December to May. Mr. Hill bitterly denounced the change as a "political trick." which had been "sneaked into” this appropriation bill in order, as ho claimed, to postpone the meeting of the Democratic legislature in the hope that a Republican yiresident would be elected and the political control of the territory changed. Mr. Elkins protested against the use of the words "sneaked in.” Debate Took a Wide Rang<». Thrvxchange between the two senators was very animated, but Mr. Hill persisted in the use of his adjectives. Later Mr. Brice sought to question Mr. Elkins, when the latter brought up the offensive personal dispatch which had been sent to Mr. Brice from New Mexied. The debate took a wide range, Senators Gorman, Faulkner, Cockrell and other Democrats attacking the provision as political, while Senators Elkins. Carter. Cullom and other Republican senators defended it. Air. Cullom sought to table Mr. Hill's motion, but a motion to this effect failed, 21 to 29, whereupon Mr. Cullom yielded to the Hill motion and rhe New Mexico provision was struck out. At the close of the day the senate passed the legislative appropriation bill, carrying $21,500,000.

Less Than Half a Dozen Bills Passed by This Body. Washington. March 28. —The appropriations committee attempted to take up the sundry civil appropriation bill yesterday, but the members who were interested on bills on the private calendar defeated them by a vote of 142 to 77. The members of the appropriations committee do not view their defeat is the result of opposition to the appropriation bill. Members from the north, who are interested in pension legislation, and those from the south, who are interested in war claims, have been chaffing for ■ some time tyver their inability to proceed with the work on the private calendar. Y'esterday. by a sort of combination, the. appropriations committee was defeated. The victory, how-ver, was compb'tely I barren so far as the southern men were ■ concerned, as after the house wen't ittto committee the •Republicans forced a motion to pas.s over all claims <ui the calen'- ■ dar.

The Wheel and Knglaud. Take the Great North road. Except upon market days, one might have traveled any 50 miles along it between Highgate and York without meeting 50 people. Towns which litcruU.Y lived by the road had drifted into a helplessly somnolent condition, from which ho apparent human agency could awaken them, and the stranger thereto was stared at as lunch as if ho had a highlander or an Iroquois in full warpaint. The highway itself, being of no particular value to uuybody since -the Groat Northern railway begun to whirl the .old patrons of the road along at 45 miles an hour, was allowed to deqay, and in wet seasons or snowy weather was well nigh impassable. The rage for wheeling has produced a rapid transformation. Station yourself at any point you like, and try to count the machines which pass on a line Saturday afternoon during the course of an fiour, and you will soon abandon the task as hopeless. Then, consider that L-every rider-of , very—niilehiLte speudssomethiug during his trip, even if it be but the cost ot a temperance drink, j Consider that a very Urge number of ‘ Saturday riders sleep our and make ! good meals during their journey; that I they are constantly spending something i over and above their actual traveling ex ■ ; peases; that the wonderful extension oi our acquaintance with our own country resulting from these peMieful invasions of it by the inhabitants, not merely of the metropolis, but of every city aud considerable town in the Tand, has led to the refurbishing up of such local lions as the castle, or the abbey, or the great Somebody’s birthplace, or the waterfall, or.the view (the inspection of all of which means the expenditure of money), and an approximate idea may be gained of the influence upon national trade which this pastime alone exercises.— Chambers’ Journal. Got Their Liiienaos. There is an ancient law in Rhode Island, which, however, is almost forgotten, requiring clergymen to take out h license before officiating at marriages. The other day Father O Hare and Mr. Stewart, tlie Episcopal rector of Auburn, went to the town clerk f®r this license. At first the town clerk was much puzzled what to do, as he had no proper license blanks, bur he finally got over the difficulty, and the clergymen departed. After they had got on a street car they opened their licenses, and each was horrified to find himself in the possession of a full fledged second class liquor license, with power to run a liquor shop subject to ali the privileges and penalties of the law. A closer inspection of the license, however, showed 'that the words "second class liquor license,” giving power to sell "malt, spirituous and intoxicating liquors” at retail or wholesale, had had a line drawn through them, anil instead of the words “to sell malt, spirituous and intoxicating liquors” were interlined the words “toperform marriages,” and so forth. Each clergyman made a wry face as he contemplated his battered license, and each silently vowed to exhibit it only in case of dire peril of a S2O fine. But both ’ blessed the ingenuity of the official that could transform a document which portends so much evil for the race, according to their views, into an instrument with power to give such 'hapuin^s.—New York Tribune. “The ChYist. of the Big 3lnddy.** ‘.‘The Christ of the Big Muddy,’’also -known "Potter Christ,” was- a infsgmuwl individual who preached up aud <i iwn ti.e Missouri river about 25 years, pm : daily in the vicinity of Council Bin -.
