Congress will meet next Monday. T < Presi lent turned out flye half* Sunday. Marshal Henry was u of G irli Id’s most intimate friend*.

The tariff Commission expenses to • .ite foot up about $55,000 and are in ■teasing at the rate of about SII,OOO pet month. Among the item iof the Dills is one for sea-bathing and an < t her for wine. The American people are certainly the most long-stiff - ling or gullible, on the face of the *rth, but we have faith to believe mt they have gained much wisdom within a year or two. If the Tariff (--mmission benefits anybody at all, inch is doubtful, ft will only benefit few Eastern parties at the coet of he millions.

A friend sent as a sample of the Democratic ticket voted in Hancock f 'ounty, It is printed on plane white pnper, of about the same thickness and stiffness as the Republican ticket in this County. However, as the law ys nothing about the thickness of he paper, it is a mutter of no conse- ■ nence.—lndianapolis Times, As the Times says, the Hancock County Democratic ticket was print ■ ' on plain white paper, known to in- trade as book paper; but the Mail County Republican ticket was .tinted on two ply white Bristol mrd, which is not known to the ■ ide “as .plain white paper.” No pa 1- r mak(T, no printer or stationer in th-- United States will class tho Mari i. County Republican ticket as “plain bite paper.” as the law contem t< s and directs. It is known as ■ die cardboard and not white paper. Hancock ticket was printed in -rdaticc with the law. The Marior . t -ket was printed to bull ■ law and laboring men, and ■ ' c indling sche mes of Re 'ers. That is the differ Democratic and Bepub*s.—Hancoca Democrat.

EDERATE SCRIP IS NG BOUGHT, ▼ in these days we hear nt in favor of Confeder ::t gentleman who bring 8 is generally the scia noble family, who lost everyin the Wah but his honor and Lies basket full of Confederate Just exactly what the inside e of the speculation may be has d very hard to tell, but the re-» announcement that certain idii New Yor k were willing to pay thousand for the old scrip, has eed a lot of wise folks in the th to haul down a lot of venerate documents from the shelf and • i them off preparatory to a sale. - rum one of our Snuther exchanges we take the following: “The other day I ran across a friend, wnosestp was exceedingly brisk. Hope shone like a fixed star on his Southern forehead. He expla ned loose cheering physical Signs to i. < an that he had $21,000 of Confed < ate scrip in the bro*n paper parcel carried in his hand, and that he as going to knock the whole let down to a fellow who bid $63 for it. ‘1 used to tell the old man,’ said he, i nut he was a fool when he put his gold coin into this stuff dollar for dollar, but he’d be kind o’ tickled to mow how handy the net proceeds '■ould come in to his brilliant hut depreciated son.” 4

Here is the fhst well authenticated and clrcumstancial case of a sale o; Confederate scrip that we have seen, and there is no good reas on to doubt the truth of the story. Nobody need loose any rest, however, over any immediate raid on the Treasury in behalf of the old paper. Quite a lot of these old bonds matured in Septem her—twenty year bonds—and the above purchase can be explained as follows: When the Confederate boile” exploded there were—so runs the legend—s7,ooo,ooo in gold lying in the vaults of the Bank of England to the credit of the Lost Cause. Our Government, by the statue of limitations , is now barred from making any claim totheamouut, and it is suggested y that by proper legal proceedings the English Court of Chancery could be induced to divide the same pro rata among the holders of these matured bonds. It is very possible that some such explanation is correct, because the demand has so far been restricted to these particular bonds.—Cin-. ciunati Commercial.

he Toronto Globe says that one of the questions put to the candidate ß at recent examination for the civP sei i<- held in that city was; "Aman left 320.000 by his will, the sum te be divided between his two sons, one of whom was <o receive SI,OOO more than the other,” The question was “too herd” for the applicants. Every on f.ihem answered that the one son was to receive SII,OOO and the other $9,000. Tin Board of County Commission* ers will meet in regular session next Monday. Mc Pherson Post, No. 84, G. A. B. will elect officers to-night,
