A common story was to the effect that N Muramasa sword was once on a time pledged to a pawnbroker. The fellow thought this a liiie opportunity to parade himself as a gentleman, and, accordingly, on a festival day he wore the sword. Quarreling with some idle fellows, he essayed to use the weapon, but his unfamiliarity with it excited the derision of the bystanders, who tinmercifully ridiculed his bungling manner. But the merriment of these individuals was phort lived. The sword itself took the piatter in baud, as though the taunts impugned its own skill, and soon laid low all its traducers. Then it turned against the unfortunate pawnbroker and killed him. Another story is the basis,of a popular Japanese drama, and tells of the adventures of a samurai with a strange sword Which ho had borrowed-from a pawnbroker. H i lightly hit a man with the bladp without apparently wounding him in tlio least.* 1 Some time after the man suddenly dropped dead, and it was found that the sword had inflicted a mortal wound ovenwhori it had-scarcely drawn blood. Upon examination this was found to boa Muramasa, which, though ’ coniing from the’dishonor of a pawnshop and carried in the hands of pn incompetent, had tints made innm- ■ fest its power.—Lyman Horace Weeks .. - .

SENATE AND HOUSE i Programme of the National Lawmakers For the Present Week. EARLY ADJOURNMENT EXPECTED Dupoiit Election to lb* llevlveil In the Kemite liidinii Appropriation Bill May I*4* Disponed ot MirntdomirieK In Turkey Who I bide by Law and Order Will Not Hr Pei-Mint rd. XV xsiiinutox.. April 13. The Dupont election chse was reviewed in thesmiate today when Senator I 'handler made I a speech in support of the committee re- | port favorable (unseating Mr. Dupont. .He was then followed by Senator < iray in opposition to the report. This matter consumed the greater part of the day. The remainder of the time Was given to the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill. There will then bo an effort to go on with the Indian bill until it shall be disposed of,, but there tin* several special orders on the calendar for the week which may interfere more or less with this programme. There is a unanimous agreement to take up Senator Petter’s resolution for tlie investigation of the bond issues for the past two years tomorrow. If not set aside the question probably will give rise to a spirited financial debate of uncertain duration. The bill to reduce the cases in which the death penalty may be imposed in the United States courts is a special order for Wednesday. Senators Lodi'e and Nelson have given noti<"'s I. speeches on Thursday on the iminigr: ..on 1 ill reported by Mr. Lodge from ti. committee on immigration. * . , MISSIONARIES . WILL BE SAFE. All That Is Asked Is For Them to Observe tl.e Laws of the Country. "Washington. April 13.—The Turkish legation has received from the sublime porte the following cablegram: “It has been falsely stated that the missionaries would be expelled. The imperial governnjent has not taken and does not intend to taky any general measure of expulsion ot missionaries ’ and Catholic priests. Those among them who attend peacefully to their business are not and will not be disturbed. But, surely, it cannot be the same for those who by flTeir attitude try to disturb the order and tranquillity of the country and place themselves in open hostility to the laws and regulations in force in the empire. The imperial government, watchful of the ’ maintenance of public security, has the duty to send them away from its territory and in so doing it avails itself of a right which iu all justice nobody could contest.” ’ WORK OF THE HOI SE. I ■ ’ ■ What the Lower Branch of Congress Will Do This Week. Washington’, April 13.—The general deficiency appropriation lull—the last of the supply bills—is in process of preparation in the appropriation&.coniinittee, and pending the reporting-' of that bill to the house a variety of matters, which have been held in abeyance in order that the appropriation bills might not be pressed, will.be brought up for action. The most important of thnse is the bankruptcy bill, to which it is expected the house will demote several days. There are also several minor ' banking l.i-11.--. including a bill to increase the circulation of national banks to the par value of the bonds deposited,, and "one or two general pension . bills. Touay is District of Columbia day, but district matters will, oceiipy'ltut.a short 'time aud it is expected th:it the tortiiicartbn bill, winch is oil the calendar, will be ]>assed before adjournment tonight. AN I ABLY AD.IOI ItN.UI NT. Enough VX’ork Done, It Is Sahl, to Merit sii<*h a Procedure. W ashing ion, April 13. —Au unusually early adjournment of congress is being predicted by the Kepubiiean leaders in both houses and evttry sign points to the fullilhgeiif of their prophecies. No congress in many years has made the Cjtctird for the transaction of routine business which stands to the credit of the present one, so far as the lower house is concerned, at any rate. With all of the regular ap]>ro]iriation bills, except two, already passed by I he house, with one of those .remaining reported from the committee and likely to be jiassed with only a day or two of debate, and with the other in.procestfcof preparation house leaders are placing the limit of this session at the first of June, as they think, sufficient time for the senate to take care of tin 1 important bills sent to it from the house. Demanded an Investigation. W ash i nhton, April 13. — Robert Bonney, an American citizen, was murdered in San Salvador March 28, and as a result the state department has demanded the fullest investigation. The case was brought to the attention Os the United State, officials by Congressman Marsh of Illinois, who had received a letter froni Circuit Judge Bonney of Quincy, lllsi savimr that his nephew Kobert Bonney was engaged in business near Sonsonate, San Salvador, and the statement had reached him that his nephew had been killed.

' SOME SIGNS OF APPROACHING AGE. How a Man Showed That He Was Growing Old Without Knowing It. A mau, apparently wlightly past middle life, whose hair was tinged with ’ gray and noticeably thin on top, sat near i me at a theater. As the curtain for 1 the first time a.spectacled man of about ■ the same age entered and occupied the Vacant seat between us. He looked at tlie other fixedly. The look was exchanged, ami in a second . each had the 1 other cordially by the hand. The conversatiou told that they had been school- > mates who had not met in many years. > ‘‘By Jove, Charlie,” exclaimed the I first, ‘‘it does me good to see you. Yo» haven't changed much more than I have, j t and lam not a day older than when we ; got our diplomas. ” ‘‘l can’t quite agree with you. Tom.” • answered the other, ‘‘but I don’t feel f very old yet. I see you still enjoy the • theater, ami I suppose you have kept up f your literary tastes fur the past 30 1 years. ’ ’ ‘‘Thirty years !” repeated Tom. ‘‘How the years fly ! Do you remember how , they used to drag? Theaters! Well, Ido go now and then, but the plays and actt ing are not what they used to be. As to I ' books, I still read them, but none of the j modern trash. There hasn’t been a good , book written for a quarter of a century. | The new ones give me the dyspepsia j • worse than what I eat. Do you remem- I ber the meals we had on the old Ver- i I moot farm? Those were happy days. | 1 Thirty years and more ago! Strange, but I • I don’t show a sign of age. 1 wonder , ■ where this confounded draft is coming I from. I feel neuralgia on top of my 1 head now. ” “’Turn, old boy?’ replied the other, i “you are deceiving yourself, for you ' ■ have shown marked .signs of approach- I ’ ing age wi'hin thkpe minutes. Your be- 1 ■ lief that theaters and actors have degenerated, that new books are below the standard, that childhood conking was perfection ami that time flies so very fast are all indications that you are on the down hill side of life. The slight draft that you say brings a tinge of neuralgia to the top of your head, where, .1 notice, the hair is rather thin, wouldn't iiavelven tlnnight of 30 years ago. Then liere.you are in the very front seat of a theater. No use denying the signs, Topj,.. Weave getting along ami must’adipit ■ . what others plainly see.’’—New York ■ Wqvu 1r) Material For Cavalry. W’hile the United States does net boalft of a large Standing army, the few -regiuients of cavalry which have-seen service on the. plains will not only compare favorably with the mounted men of other nations, but for the particular kind of work to which’ they have been trained they are without, equals in the world. AVe have had no reason to keep them in training, but if put to the test we could certainly raise a magnificent army iu a very short time. Unlike the early days of tile recent rebellion, we i would have plenty of horsemen to call, upon. Whereas, in earlier days, equestrianism was unknown, comparatively speaking, it has l in later days become so general as a means of exercise, recreation and health that old and young are fairly good riders. The various Sports of polo, hunting and racing have served to stimulate interest in equitation. The mffltary troops formed throughout the country are also factors. All of these sources would be drawn upon for officers rather than for private soldiers. They do not represent a large number in comparison with the force necessary to cope with a foe, but they would certainly prove a valuable nucleus on which to build.—Rider and Driver.. Wouldn’t Need It. The Syracuse Standard tells of <tn amusing correspondence that recently took place between a Wisconsin farmer and a local boiler firm.

Clinton, Ind., April 14. —This city finds itself in a very interesting dilemma. All the city officers, with the ex- 1 ceptioil of Mayor Merrill, have becon e piqued at that official’s perversity onquestions concerning municipal governI ment, and have tendered their resignaI t-ions. Before taking this step, liowI ever, they gave notice of aji election, to i be held fyr the purpose of naiiiing sueI cessors.. both for themselves aud the mayor.
