Interviews jvith leading Democratic members of congress dcvelopes the intmitiou to fillibuster against any action 0:1 the tariff this winter, with the purpose, it is said, of holding the "siibjoct in abeyance until the Democrats get control of the house of representatives.

Free traders usually begin and end their remarks with the charge that all tariff men are monopolists, it maybe that all monopolists are for a tariff, but they are but a fraction of the party that for the sake of the general interests and 'revenue "will support protection.

There are those who rely upon the failures and mistakes of the Democratic congress to strengthen tho Republicans. Flattering hope is a poor substitute for present performance. "We have nothing to do with the congress of 1883 but there is much to be done this verv month.

Most of the stuff that the farmer sells is advancing as relentlessly as the price of eggs. The war between the Northwestern roads, while disastrous to them, has been beneficial to shippers and dealers on account of the rush of freight and the low rates. "It's an ill wind," etc.

Prison cells develop many professing saints. According to a romancing re^ porter the latest is that ripe Christian Frank James whoso whole soul revolts from Ingersoll's infidelity. His re marks upon the subject are a perfect repetition of David Copperfield's in terview with Uriah Heep and Littimer in the English jail.

There was a general "let lip1 throughout the country yesterday, and news is scarce this morning, but we havo hopes of better days. At all events next week the Star route trials and congress will resume proceedings With the aid of our Kentucky and Arkansas friends in filling the crime column, there is every prospect of furnishing the reader his money's worth

Tho work of reduction goes bravely 011—in the papers. There is a story of a man who went out of a winter's night in his shirt to hold a dog until he froze to death. It will not be nc^ essary to strip ourselves of all revenue to run this government economically and to freeze out discontent. The high tariff men will find it useful to hold some of the internal revenue and the freo traders will need some customs duty.

Gov. Foster says, and so do many others, that it the Democrats maintain a free-trade doctrine, then shall we elect a Republican president in 1884, It is not worth while to build upon this. The Democrats are not going to take risks 011 free-trade unless they are very sure. If tho present congress had time, or would make the timo, it could take tho tariff wind out of the Democratic sails by readjustment of the duties. The question before the people will be the size of the duties, not their abolition.

Perhaps our future revenues will be pared so closely that the treasurer of the United States cannot isstie a few millions whenever there is a finny in Wall street. It may be well tha,t it will be so. However wisely and disin terestedlv relief may have been afforded in the past, such a power in the treasurer is dangerous in practice and precedent. To be sure there is something analogous in the action of the Bank of England 011 certain occasions when it has averted disaster by the use of government funds, but not near enough to justify our own course, which, while it has not prevented panic, doubtless encourages speculation by the availability of public funds.

The papers which at first jumped at the conclusion that the removals made by the president a few days since were not because of a bad conduct regarding the Star route prosecrt ions but because the removed officials were Garfield appointments, are making haste 'to correct themselves. The Cincinnati Uazett for instance says: '•President Arthur lias vigorously brushed invay the suspicions that had withered around bini by malting removals that seemed to be in the way of justice. It is possible he may have done injustice in some cases, and. if this shall prove to be the case, the injured parties should have a full and fair hen ring, and a restoration to honorablo standing but

It Is uow plain, that the administration means to prosecute the cases to a final and speedy conclusion, and with a determination to let no guilty man escape."

SCEEXES FOR THE PJJAY.

PASSION

Artlits' Hiuslie» Busy—A Baptist t'ler gymiin to Represent "The Naxarene." From tho Now York Sun, 20th.

The Nazarene, the leading part in the Passion Play, which Mr. Salmi Morse is to produce in the hall ho is building in Twenty-third street, will begivenbythe Rev. fcW. M. Wanne macher, a Baptist clergyman from Pennsylvania. Mr. Wannemacher is known in Pennsylvanin. as a Good Templar lecturer, and before entering the ministry had same experience in private theatricals, but never appear ed upon the boards of a theater. When the Passion Play was produced in San Francisco he saw it several times, and to its influence upon him he attributes his conversion. Learning that it was to be done here, he wrote to M. Morse tendering his services in any capacity, and arrangements have been made, not only to intrust the performance of the principal part to Kim, but for him to deliver sermons, free to all, for the Passion stage on Sunday evenings.

Mr. Morse says: "1 do'notintend in this production to give the scene of the crucifixion, or anv of the horrors in the tragedy of the life of Jesus, but only to depict, as man reverently and lovingly may, the meekness, the good' ness, the greatness attending that sub lime subject. I mean to show contemporary -matter and things of which little is known, except to students shall show the sedition of the Jews when Pontius Pilate placed the bust of Tiberius in the. temple. I shall show the disastrous consequences of the battle of Aretas at tho time of the death of John the Baptist. I shall give the plausible grounds of John the Baptist's decapitation. In nothing that I will do shall there be anything that might justly shock the prejudices or awaken the antagonism of the most devoted religionist.

Passion Hall will depart greatly from the theater model. There will be but one gallery at the rear, and

110

boxes. All the stage efleets will be produced by builded scenes of prepared materials. Twelve big doors will open out on the sides pf the auditorium, besides the large exits on Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth streets*. The house will hold about 1,600 persons. The ceiling will be paneled, and in alternate panels stained glass will be set, with lights above, to throw tho tinted radiance down upon the audience. The gallery will have panelings in alto-relievo representing scenes in the life of the Savior. The house will be lighted by sevenbranched candelabra of the tabernacle pattern.

Messrs. Maeder and Hoyt with ten assistants are at work upon three scenes—the interior of the Temple, the Gabbatha where Christ was tried be fore Pilate, and the great street scene of Jerusalem, 132 feet in depth. Mr. Harvev Merry and seven assistants are painting upon the Garden of Gethsemane, the Massacse of the Innocents in Bethlehem, and the Brook of Kedron. Mr. Yoe^tlin has designed and is about to begin work upon the drop curtain and the Palace of Herod.

The music of the piece is entirelv new, and written font by Mr. 0. Weif, except such as has been brought from Syria by Mr. Morse. One especial iiece. worthy of mention, is that wrought by Mr. Morse from Svria and used for the dance of Salome, daughter of Herodias. It is said to be that practiced to this day in every Syrian monastery dedicated St. John the Baptist, and performed there in part of tho annual celebration of St. John's day:

-j." &T

the melody to which David danced before the ark, and to which Salome danced for the head of John the Baptist.

A Philadelphia dispatch to the Snn says: "William M. Wannemacher of this city has signed a contract to play the character of Christ in the Passion play to be produced in New York. He is a young man of a serious cast of countenance, with finely cut features and expressive dark-brown eves,Tather deeply set. His hair and beard are of a light-brown color, and his complexion olive. He is above the medium height, being 5 feet 94 tall, and! his figure is graceful and well proportioned. His appearance on the whole is slightly Hebraic. His father is Charles Wannemacher of Boston, of the firm of Newell, Sturtevant & Co., coal shippers. William was born in 1854, and it was the intention of his parents to fit him for the ministry, but the young man wanted to be an actor, and has played a few times in amateur entertainments. He studied law, then became a shipping clerk, and finally drifted west. In San Francisco he saw the "Passion Play." He was greatly impressed, and claims that the pre sentation first inspired in him a strong desire to preach the Gospel, and led him to enter the University Mound college, a Presbyterian theological seminary located just outside of San Francisco. "While a student in this institution he was invited to address temperance meetings, and, being very successful, he abandoned his studies and gave all of his time to his new work. In 1880 lie returned to.this city and continued as a temperance lecturer. When he heard of Mr. Morse's scheme in" New York he sought an interview, and as the result he is engaged for a vear. Mr. Wannemacher has studied the character of Christ for three years, and will devote his entire timo from now until the date of the production of the play in fitting himself for its interpretation. He will go to New York on Tuesday next to attend- the rehearsals of the "Passion," which will begin the following day."

WOMEN BILLIIARD PLAYERS.

What Sir. Slosson and Others say About Their Skill. New York Sun. "The best lady players," Mr. Slosson said, looking "up, "in the world .are undoubtedly to be found in France, where the wife of Maurice Yignaux, the 'greatest player in Europe, is a disciple of her husband in the game. The game was really invented and perfected there you know. It was popular with and played by the titled ladies at the court of Louis the XY, and Queen Marie Antoinette was an admirer of the past time. I paid 5 francs one day to look at her relics at Yersailles, and the first thing that attracted my attention after I entered the apartment was the curious looking table on which she used to play. Nowadays the ladies of France followed the example of the royal ladies, and they are very partial to the game. It is a usual thing there for ladies of good Btanding to go to the cafes with their male escorts and watch them play at the game. They never played in public themselves, however, but only at home. There they have matched'with each other or with male friends, and it is apparent to the spectator that they enjoy the contests greatly. They have not gone so far in America as to visit the billiard rooms, but one evening recently a German woman came into my room here from Booth's theater and sit chatting while her companions played a game. Everybody stared, and I stared myself, for I had never seen Buch a thing out of Europe. Yet nothing would have been thought of that abroad, where ladies were the most curious whb watched my practice games before Yignaux and I played our latest match. They used to crowd about the table, the gentlemen spectators making room for them, and chatter in the liveliest way. Their eager interest, and open-eyed wonderment at some fancy strokes that I used to make for fun, made me laugh heartily at times. "The English ladies make fine billiard players, too." Mr. Slosson continued, ''and 110 English gentleman of means considers bis house complete without a billiard room, where he and his wife and friends can play whqn they desire. I know many New York and Brooklyn* ladies who play the game. There is something charming in havipg them for opponents when they are skillful. They can make the game far more attractive and interesting, and they certainly elevate it by their presence."

A TRUE ROMANCE AT DAYTON.

A Son Who Will See His Father After a Thirty Years' Absence. Cincinnati Gazette. "Cornealius V. Cain vagrancy," was the registry on the docket of the Dayton police court a few days ago, and with this brief line there is connected a story of stranger adventures than one man often experiences, Thirty years ago Cain, then a mere boy, ran off to sea on a French merchantman. The ^ship was taken by pirates after a Stout resistance, and every one on board except young Cain walked the plank, he being spared by an old Spaniard on account of his youth. After seeing all his companions disappear, the boy sadly, but still gratefully, followed his savior, the old Spaniard. He was with these men for years, visiting Peru, Mexico, Brazil, and many other countries of Central and South America, at one time joining cattle ranchers on the plains. Contentions, bf course, split up the ship's crew, and sickness played sad havoc with them. For eight years Cain lived as a cattle herderr when his roving disposition again asserted itself, and five years of seafaring followed. He was wrecked off" the Bermudas, picked up by an English man-of-war, and taken to Liverpool. Several years were spent in travel through 'the Grecian isles and into Asia with English merchants. Then followed a trip to the South Sea islands and several narrow escapes from shipwrecks. Some time was spent in miningin California, all,however, spent in a fruitless search for a brother. A nother year was spent hsrding cattle in Texas, and at last Cain determined to come East and seek his father. Traveling mostly on foot, he reached Ohio entirely destitute, and has wound up in the Dayton Work-house as a vagrant. But the most wonderful part of the story is that his father, entirely unknown to him, is an inmate of the Soldier's Home. After thirty years it now seems they are to meet again, and it will doubtless be a sight worthy of a painter's brush—the meeting of the runaway boy, now a bearded and bronzed man, and the stern parent, once a prosperous manufacturer, now an old and infirm soldier.

Short of Oysters.

Baltimore Sun. There is a general complaint among oyster dredgers this season about the poor condition of nearly all the beds along the Chesapeake bay and its tributaries. Nevertheless it is said the dredging business is overrun with new vessels, and that it is by no means profitable as formerly. Indeed, son of the dredgers go so"far as to say thff

used to be that* between 400 and 500 bushels of oysters could be caught in a day. If 150 bushels are caught now it is considered a good day's work. The average is about seventy-five bushels daily, and a full cargo-is about 1,000 bushels. The oysters are sold to the packers at from twenty-five to forty cents a bushel for can packing, and from fifty cents to $1.25 for raw. As a general thing, each vessel has eight men aboard, who are pai&from $20 to 530 per month, besides being fed. The packers are also dissatisfied with -the outlook. They pay twenty cents per gallon for opening, and sell at from seventy to eightyfive cents for standard, and from $1.25 to Sl-50 for selects. It requires about a bushel and a half to make a gallon.

Notwithstanding the complaints, however the supply is equal to the demand. Most of the oysters shipped from Baltimore go west and northwest, and have an unrivaled reputa-

McArthur Campbell, formerly a resident of Coonamble, was a passenger in a steamer froiii which one day a little boy about tour years of age, to whom the lady was much attached, fell overboard, the accident occurring through a sudden lurch of the vessel. With the exception of Mrs. Campbell and the man at the wheel, all the passengers and crew were at dinner. Without waiting for a life buoy, or divesting herself of any clothing, and, simply saying to the man at the wheel,

Don't tell the child's mother,' Mrs. Campbell plunged into the water, swam to the boy and held him up tilt both were rescued, the steamer having been promptly stopped and aboat lowered. Neither the lady nor the boy was much the worse for the immer-, sion."

Mr. James Replies to Ingersoll. A Kansas City dispatch says: In an interview with Frank James, reference was made to Ingersoll, who, when here last week, said the criminal ought to be hung. The prisoner denounced the colonel as a blasphemer and a hvpoerito. "Ingersoll)" continued Frank, "goes abroad denouncing the Bible, the most sacred of all books. He ridicules its teachings and the Savior, and yet amid all this he lias hearers to the number of ~S2,000, while a man for using an indecent word while drunk will be confined thirty days. Mv God! how can such a state of affairs be Any man who would assail tht sacred book wonld dare to do anything. The Lord is my helper. I rare not what men shall do or say against me. Ingersoll is doing unspeakable injury to the nation. He is sowing the seeds of iniquity in the minds of our youth." A visitor" replied: "He is having a good influence upon all. He is causing them to think. He advocates adherence to 110 doctrine. He is a lover ffl a helper of his fellow men."

said, speaking to the visitor: .. in vou we have an illustration ot evil influence upon the youth. You

y. 1 2

are a young man, and one I suppose whose mother endeavored to rear in the light of Christian truth, but in your advocacy of Xugersoll you are on the downward path and unless you turn from the evil way you will go to hell."

The visitor, endeavoring to retrieve, said that he did not indorse Ingersoll, but .believed "in thinking that God never made man to damn him. To this Mr. James replied: "In man there is an intuition which Jtells him there is a God, and any man who says to the contrary, is a hypocrite. lie deceives himself. God does live, and He will some time strike Ingersoll to earth for his blasphemy. How any. man can live and have his being in this universe and say there is no God, I don't know." Turning to the visitor, who said he would have to retire, he said "If you follow Ingersoll you some day may be where I am now—in jail—and I know finally. will he in hell so turn aside. There is no one more lenient than the Creator, and you may yet escape the torments of hades."

Mother Iiove.

Burlington Hawkeye. We were at a railroad junction one night last week waiting a few hours for a train, in the waiting room, in the only rocking chair, trying to talk a brown-eved boy to sleep, who talks a great deal when he wants to keep awake. Presently a freight train arrived and a beautiful, little old woman came in, escorted by a great big German, and they talked in German, he giving bfer evidently lots of information about the route she was going, and telling her about her tickets and lier baggage check, and occasionally nattirg her on the arm. At first our United States baby, who did not understand German, was tickled to hear them talk, and he "snickered" at the peculiar sound of the language that was being spoken. The great big man put his hand up to the good lady's cheek and said something encouraging, and a great big tear came to her eye, and she stood as happy as a queen The little brown eyes of the boy_ opened pretty big, and his face sobered down from its laugh, and he said: "Papa, it is his mother!" We knew it was, but how should a 4-year-old sleepy baby, that couldn't understand German, tell that the lady was the big man's mother, and we asked him how he knew, and he said: "Oh, the big man was so kind to her." The big man bustled out,"we gave the rocking chair to the little old mother, and presently the man came in with a baggage man, and to him he spoke English. He said: "This is my mother, and she does not speak English. She is going to Iowa, and I have -got to go back on the next train but I want you to attend to her baggage and see her on the right car, the rear car, with a good seat, near the center, and tell the conductor she's my mother.

And here is a dollar for you, and I will do as much for your mother some time." The baggageman grasped the dollar with one hand, and grasped the big man's hand with the other, and looked at the little German with an expression that showed that he had a mother too, and we almost knew the old lady was well treated. Then we put the sleeping mind-reader on a bench and went out on the platform" and got acquainted with the big German, and he talked of horse-traaing, buying and selling and everything, that snowed he was alive business man, ready for any speculation, from buying a yearling colt to a crop of hops or barley, ana that this life was a busy one and at times full of hard work, disappointment, hard roads, but with all of his hurry and excitement he was kind to his mother, and we loved him just a little, and when, after a few minutes'

Matilda Heron's Daughter. Brooklyn Eagle. Matilda Heron's daughter figured as a child in many of the curious closing scenes of that" noted actress' life. I remember little Bijou as a comically tragic witness for her mother in Court, and looked as though, if she stuck to the stage, she would reproduce the parent's combination of strength and crudeness. She is now, after a schooling in Europe, the Helen Stocple of Daly's Theater Company, and as a performer totally different from the ercentric Miss Heron. She is as weak as water and as sweet as sugar without a trace of beauty, but the very soul of gentle refinement with avoiceaslow and musical as the mother's was high and harsh in all she does unlike the conventional actress and suggestive of the restrained school-girl. The firiSt character which Miss Stoepcl played at Daly's was the young daughter in "Odette," and her chief task was to ask-lier youthful sweetheart to marry her. She accomplished it with a naive simplicity and charming ingenuousness that was highly admired by the audiences. Perhaps the fact that her father, Robert Stoepel, sat in the orchestra leader's chair helped her to appear diffident and modest in her reversal of the usual fashion of courtship. As for the effect upon Henry Miller, the good-looking juvenile actor whom she nightly solicited to become her husband in the play, it is no wonder he has asked te do it in real life. Th« bethrothal is autliorititavely announced.

Pneumatic Transmission of Forcc. London Times. In Paris a new system of transmitting force to a distance is about to be tried. It consists of maintaining in a pipe system by means of engines at a central station a certain degree of vacuum (57 centimetres of mercury). A branch of pipe enters the house of each subscriber and is connected with a rarified air motor devised by M. Tatin. The sewers in the Boulevard Yoltaire and the Avenue Parmentier are utilized for the pipes, in a distance of 600 metres. The canalization is calculated for a development of one kilometre distance from the central station, and the losses by friction in thS~~pipes do not exceed per cent^ The pipes are mainly iron, but those entering the houses are lead. The Titan motor presents the necessary qualities of great simplicity and eiasy roplacemet of pieces it has a vertical oscillating cylinder. Each motor is Arranged to work at an average'speed

the work for all is thus sensibly constant, whence results a very easy method of charging subscribers for consumption of power.

Let me notice a peculiar game called "Sally Water," which is similar to the English "Kiss in-- the King," and is played by the children and their elders on various occasions.- The subject of singing games has of late attracted so much attention that it may not be irrelevant to give the words of the song, which is sung during the game, as they were told me by one who has often

Rogers's Fancy Tombs. Leslie, in his autobiography, says that when lie and his daughters were at Brighton, Mr. Bogers took them in his carriage to the dike. As he sat in his carriage looking over the vast expanse of country below us, lie pointed down to the village that seemed all peace and beauty in the tranquil sunset. "Do you see," he said, "those three large topibstones close to the tower of tne church My father, my mother, and mv grandfather are buried there." Leslie told me the anecdote himself, aftd imtni:tated Rogers's tone of voice, which was most pathetic. Now, the truth was that Rogera had not a single relative in that churchyard, and the only foundation for what he said, as he soon afterward confessed, was that he would have liked to be buried there himself. Somebody on hearing the 6tory exclaimed, "What a lying old rascal!" Rogers was not precisely that. Without being a great poet, he had much aristocratic feeling, and for a moment he heightened the interest of the peaceful churchyard by going beyond the truth, by leaving the truth behind as insufficient for the degree of sympathy and interest which he desired to produce in his hearers.

Four "Working Giris.

Philadelphia Times. Four working girls in New York—so the pretty story goes—have clubbed together, pooled their earnings and gone to keeping house on their own account. Thev secured a third-story fiat, and are living in much better syle than any of their associates. They have rules for the preservation of peace between them. The idea is -neat one, but it would be impossible for all girls to get along in that way. They would quarrel about each other's beaux arid all that until the partnership would have to be dissolved.

The report is, and is generally credited, that she rode races to obtain the money to pay debts or make up losses Incurred by her.father and brother in gambling, and that the trouble which became a partof herllfe so weighed her down that shesought rest in the other world.
