UNCLE SAM GARNI HED.

Two Paris Jewelry Firms Trying to Recover Diamonds. A queer move Vas made on behalf of two Paris jewelry firms to recover valuable diamonds alleged by the Government authorities to have been smuggled into this country by Jacob Kronfeld, alias G. Lange. From the firms of Veuve, L. B. Citreon & Co., and Henri Kaminker & Co., of Paris, it is alleged that Kronfeld, alias Lange, who was ro ently arrested in Chicago, procured diamonds worth $7,000, and in return gave drafts. Before the paper became due Kronfeld disappeared and the firms heard nothing of him until they saw h s name in the papers in connection with a diamond seizure. The Government officials took possession of the stones and held them. Attachment suits have been com* menced by the Paris diamond firms to recover the valuables, and tho District Attorney, the United States Collector, and others at Chicago have been served with garnishment proceedings. The District Attorney says he will pay no attention to the garnishment, as he holds the diamonds by means of an order of court Attorney Newman was asked the reason of his bringing the attachment suits in the State courts on behalf of the jewelry firms, “fiuppase they can’t prove that the dianhonds were smuggled to this country,” he said. “If they can’t then we will enforce our suits and recover our property. ” DEATH OF TUB REV. UENJ. H. PAD. DOCK. The Episcopal Bishop of Massachusetts Breathes Bis Last. The Rev. Benjamin H. Paddock, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Di rcese of Massachusetts, died at Boston, agod 63 years. He had been ill for several weeks, and during the recent days had hung between life and death. He was a native of Norwich, Conn.; a graduate of Trinity College and of the General Theological Seminary of New York City. He taught for a short time, but in 1852 he took up his life work, becoming then assistant minister at the Church of the Epiphany, New York, while he was a deacon. In 1853 he was chosen rector of St Luke’s Church in Portland, Me., but withdrew after three months on account of the climate. For seven years he served as rector at Trinity in Norwich, Conn., and then from 1860 until 1869 had charge of the Christ Church parish in Detroit, Mich For I#ie four years preceding his bishopric he was rector of Grace Church. Brooklyn Heights. He was elected bishop in 1873. Bishop Paddock was the author of a number of articles in reviews and periodicals—canonical digests, sermons and charges—among which were “Ten Years in the Episcopate,” published in 1883; “The First Century of the Diocese of Massachusetts,” published in 1685; and “The Pastoral Relation ” In “A. Miner” Key. Pressed for time—mummies. Jardin des Plantes—the cemetery. T.. i\,„u eternity issue* uo return tickets. A matter of course—table d’hote bill of fare. How to become fore-handed—evolute back to the monkey. It is quite natural that there should bo judges at a bench show. How much information there is in the world that is not at all informing.

Never believe tho man who says ho had forgotten all about that little loan you return. Millionaires competed for a running prize at Tuxedo Park recently—a well-to-do race.

What a pity that some men are not as wise as they look, and some women as amiable as they sometimes appear. When ex-President C eveland was urged to invest in Florid.% lands, -he said he didn’t care to be transformed into an orange “Grove.” It is said that electricity is to be applied to smelting furnaces. A person who has been in Butte City, Montana, and not smelt furnaces, electricity wouldn’t help.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS

HOW IT COMPARES WITH PREVIOUS SESSIONS. An Interesting Review of the Law-Makers* Labors—Volume of the Work—Bills that Have Received the Approval ot Both Houses, Eto. The working or business feature of the Congress just closed, says a Washington dispatch, may bo studied with Interest Three measures, any of which in Intrinsic importance and popular interest would be sufficient for a national issue, stand forth pre-eminent among all others. First, the McKinley tariff bill, which became a law; second, the silver bill, on which, during the first session, a compromise was effected, based on a monthly purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver, and which, in turn, was followed by a more radical measure thall failed of passage; third, the Federal elections bill, which, after a protracted, bitter, and hotly fought and intensely exciting preliminary struggle, failed in the Senate to reach a decisive vote on its merits. Even in its mortuary record the Congress was remarkable, the call of death having summoned no fewer than twelve of its Representatives and three of its Senators. The list contains the names of Senators Beck of Kentucky, Wilson of Maryland, and Hearst of California: and Representatives W. D. Kelley, Samuel'l. Randall and Lewis F. Watson of Pennsylvania; S. S. Cox, David Wilber and Newton J. Nutting of New York; Richard Townshend of Illinois, J. M. Burnes and James P. Walker of Missouri, James Laird of Nebraska, Edward J. Gay of Louisiana, and James Phelan of Tennessee. The total appropriations for this Congress will probably reach $1,030,000,000. During the Fiftieth Congress 1,611 bills were vetoed, and duriug the Fifty-first Congress fourteen. In the Fifty-first Congress 14,033 bills were introduced in the House and 5,129 In tho Senate. In the Fiftietli Congress 12,654 bills were introduced in the House and 4,000 in tin Senate. In the Fiftyfirst Congress 297 joint resolutions, or twenty-eight more than the number introduced in the Fiftieth, were introduced in the llouso. In the Senate 169 Joint resolutions, twenty-four more than In the were introduced. The bills that became laws during the Congress just ended numbered 2,186. In the Fiftieth Congress 1,894 bills were enacted. The number of bills, ete., introduced in the Fifty-first Congress exceeded by 20 per cent, the number introduced in the Fiftieth. Among the bills which have become laws aro these: The copyright bill, the private landcourt bill, the Indian depredations claim bill, the timber and pre-< >ptiop law repeal bill, the customs administrative bill, a general land forfeiture bill, the bill to relieve the Supremo Court by tho establishment of intermediate courts of appeal, the United States judicial salary blll 14 the World’s Fair bill, the Wyoming and Idaho admission bills, the qntl-lot-tery and anti-trust bills, tl|e reapportionment bill, tho immigration bill, the bill to ratify agreements with various Indian tribes and to pay the friendly S’oux SIOO,OOO, to reduce the fees of pension agents, to pay the French spoliation claims, the meat inspection bill, the postal subsidy bill, the bill to prevent the Importation of adu terated food and drink, the live cattle and hog inspection bill, the bill appropriating »1 ,000,000 for the improvement of the Mississippi Rivir, to permit torghum sugar manufacturers to use alcohol without payment of tax, to limit to 60 per cent, of the rates charged private parties the rates the land-grant railroads shall charge for transportation of government troops and supplies, to authorize tho construction of a tunnel under the waters of the Bay of New York, for the construction of a deepwater harbor on tho coast of Texas, for the relief of settlers on the Northern Pacific Railroad Indemnity lands, to permit tho export of fermented liquors to a foreign country without tho payment of a tax, to apply the proceeds of the sale* of public lands and the receipts from certain land-grant railroads to the support of agricultural and industrial colleges, joint resolution congratulating Brazil on the adoption of a republican form of government, bills to establish the Chickamauga military park, providing for town-site entries in Oklahoma, authorizing tho use of the Louisville and Portland canal basin, to amend the interstate commerce act so as to give the commissioners fuller powers in respect to making inquiries, providing that applications to purchase forfeited railroad lands shall begin to run from tho date of the restoration of tho lands to settlement and sale, for a military post at San Diego, Cal., for an Alaskan census, to extend tho time of payment for public lands in cases of failure of the crops, to issue 1,000 stands of arms to North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Nebraska, to set aside the big-tree tract in California as a public park, for the inspection of cattle steamers in order to secure more humane treatment of cattle, providing that tbe life-saving appliances act shall not apply to the lakes and bays of the United States, to enable the Postmaster General to expend SIO,OOO to test free-delivery system in small towns, to create the customs district of North and South Dakota and Puset Sound, and for the erection, repair, er enlargement of many public buildings heretofore noted.

Where a daily bath of water is not well borne or not obtainable, a good sharp rubbing with a dry towel is next best If the gums, as frequently happens after illness, become very sore a gargle of myrrh in a little water is to be commended, and as this has a good, wholesome odor one need not mind using it.

A Glorious River.

The St. Lawrence Is a phenomenon among rivers! No other river is fed by such gigantic lakes No other river is so independent of the elements. ’ It despises alike rain, snow and sunshine. Ice and wind may be said to be the only things that affect its mighty flow. Something almost as phenomenal as the St. Lawrence itself is the fact that there Is so little generally known about it. It might be safely affirmed that not 1 per cent, of the American public are aware of the fact that among all the great rivers of the world the St Lawrence is the only absolutely floodless one. Such, however, is the case. The St. Lawrence despises rain and sunshine. Its greatest variation caused by drought or rain hardly ever exceeds a foot or fourteen inches. The cause of this almost everlasting sameness of volume is easily understood. The St. Lawrence is fed by the mightiest bodies of fresh water on earth. Immense as is the volume of water it pours into the ocean, any one who has traversed all the immense lakes that feed it, and for the surplus waters of which it is the only channel to the sea. wonders that it id not even more gigantic than it is. Not one drop of the waters of the five great lakes finds its way to the ocean save through this gigantic, extraordinary and wondrously beautiful river. No wonder, then, that it should despise the rain and defy the sunshine.— Nature's Realm.

Serious Danger

Threaten* every man, woman or chili living in a region of country where fever and ague i* prevalent, since the germ* of malarial dilease are inhaled from tho air and are swallowed from the water of such a region. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely neoessary to nullify this danger. As a means of fortifying and acclimating the system so as lto be able to resist the malarial poison, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is incomparably the beet and the most popular. Irregularities of the stomach, liver and bowels encourage malaria; but these are speedily rectified by the Bitters. The functions of digestion and seoretion are assisted by its use, and a vigorous as well as regular condition of the system promoted by it. Constitution and physique are thus defended against the inroads of malaria by this matchless preventive, which is also a certain and thorough remedy in the worst cases of intermittent and remittent fevers. Ox the Congo there are no beasts of burden, there existing merely a manual transport, the porters being the natives of the Bakongo tribo, inhabiting the cataract regions. In physique these men are slight and only poorly developed; hut the fact of their carrying on their heads from sixty to a hundred pounds weight twenty miles a day, for sometimes six consecutive days, their only food being each day a little manioc root, an ear or two of maize, or a handful of peanuts, pronounces them at once as men of singularly sound stamia. Small boys ot eight and nine years old are frequently met carrying loads of twentyfive pounds weight

Purify You r Blood

When spring arrives it Is very important that the blood should be pnrified. t as at this season impurities which have been accumulating for mouths or even years, are liable to manifest themselves and seriously sflect tbe health. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is undoubtedly.the boat blood purifier. It expels every taint, drives out scrofulous humors, and gives to the blood the quality and tone essential*to good health. ‘For five years I was sick every spring, but last year began in February to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla I used, five bottles and have not seen a sick day slnoe." G. W. Sloan, Milton, Mass. ‘Hood’s Sarsaparilla purified my blood, save me strength, and overcame the hendache and dizziness, so that I am able to work again. 1 recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla to Others whose blood is thinor impure, and who feel worn out or run down.” Luther Nason, Lowell, Mass, ‘I take Hood’s Sarsaparilla every year as a spring tonic, with most satistactory result*.” C.Parmklee, 84V Bridge street Brooklyn, N.

The report giving the quantity of distilled liquors used in works of art, etc., in Texas shows that only 2,101 gallons of high wines are consumed, whereas of sour mash, oW Bourbon, rye, and such like, were devoted to art during the year 90,860 gallons and upward. The wide difference is readily accounted for when we remember that only a few drops of wino are needed to make tho cheeks red and rosy, but that the young men use a whole gallon of low wines to paint the town red after the party breaks up and they come in from the suburbs —Dallas News.

English plum Puddings.

I’ve mado so-called English plum puddings all my life, but until I ate of them on their native heath I didn’t know tho delicacy. These are made and parboiled fully three months before, and are hung up in bags till needed. By this method the rich ingredients become thoroughly amalgamated, and the flavor is vastly improved. The final cooking occurs the day of use, and the pudding comes to the table piping hot, studded with blanched almonds, and blazing with burning cognac.
