Oongressman Johnson Will not Come Home. Last year when Congress was overnelmingly Democratic and a Republimember could only stand around ith no controlling v»ice or vote. Some emocrat papers raised a vigorous howl '--cause Mr. Johnson came home to par-
cipate in an important lawsuit. Demoat papers, however, have not liked Mr. Johnson much since he made his fig bt in the State Senate against Green Smithism.
He had, however, been retained in the case long before Congress assembled, and the intention was to try the case in the fall before Congress assembled, but deliys hippened. Now, however, Congress is Republican and Mr. J. is chairman of oae of the election committees and also he third member of tbe Banking and Currency committee, and hiB duties are so important that he feels that his obligations to the people and his committees wdl not permit his coming home, alhough he has been asked to do so by •nany of his friends. Many members are, however, looking after their fences, but dr. Johnson feels that public duties are superior to private interests. The following telegram was received from Washington Wednesday at the Indianapolis Journal office: ''I shall not come home under any circumstances to canvass for my renomlnation. My public duties will not permit :t This in answer to a statement eonainedin your Liberty, Union county, special.in the Journal of Tuesday.

RINfeS AMD RING LORE.
Cromwell's signet ring bore his crest, a lion rampant. The state ring of the pope is set with a large cameo bearing a portrait of Christ.
Luther habitually wore a small ring in which the setting represented a death's head.
The ring of the Jewish high priest was Invested, by tradition, with many mystic powers.
Anglo-Saxon and Celtic rings commonly bore the name of the wearer and are believed to have been used as signets.
Three wedding rings were used at the marriage of Mary Stuart, and all three did not keep her faithful to her husband.
Roman gladiators often wore brass rings so heavy that a blow from the fist was sometimes known to kill an adversary.
Tho "fisherman's ring" is the signet of the pope. Its bezel bears an impression of Bt. Peter in his boat with fishing nets.
The bishop's ring was formerly set with any gem. Generally, however, it is at present set with an amothyst or sapphire.
The ancient Egyptians and Israelites, in addition to finger rings, wore rings in their ears and frequently also in their noses.
Among the Greeks after the time of Alexander the Great the portrait of that monarch sot in a ring was supposed to bring the warrior good luck.
In Nero's time there was a fashion prevalent of wearing large rings, the setting of which was carved with the bust of the special'divinity who Was the wearer's patron.
According to the traditions of the early church, Joseph and Mary were espoused with an amethyst ring. This by some persons is supposed to be the reason why episcopal rings wero often set with the same stone.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
DREAMS OF DRESS.
Beautifully less grow the huge balloon Bleeves of past seasons. The overskirt is slowly making its way Into the ranks of fashion.
Stem green Is a very fashionable shade both in dress and millinery. The eternal blouse comes forth for the spring season a thing of beauty in new guises that render it almost a nOvelty.
White and cream colored satin waists, with girdle and collar of pale hued velvet, are becomingly worn by both blonds and brunettes.
Flaring wing effects are still a dominant oharapterlstio Of spring millinery, but are somewhat modified in their spreading width upon the head.
With dressy post Lenten costumes will again be worn single or double breasted Spanish jaokets rounded in front or out square In Russian style.
Along with the box plaited style of waist suspenders and flat bretelles will again be used on toilets and oostumes designed for indies *ncU)lender matrops.

Thr«« l)l/ntrc*t MKjra of Connecting $ Em Viv the Ohio River. WASHWQi-ljif Maicch 5,—A pian been submitwa to .congress for a connecting Lake Erie with the Ohio river. The'secretary of war has sent to the house the report of aboard of three engineers of the army of a survey of the Minmi and Erie canal, the Ohio canal and connectiugs available to make a continuous canal connecting the waters of Lake Erie with the Ohio river through the state of Ohio. The survey was also to look to the feasibility aud advisability of improving aud widening the canal to 70 feet and deepening it to seven feet. Plans and cost were also required for the construction of locks with a capacity for vessels of at least 280 tons buraeu.
The board considers the following routes available for continuous canals making the required connection:
First, eastern route Cleveland to Marietta. Second, central route—Sandusky bay to Portsmouth.
Third, western route—Toledo to Cincinnati. On all these routes the water supply is such that with necessary improvements it is possible to construct a canal of the kind required that can be operated at its full capacity for 275 days each year.
Hie estimated cost of each waterway of the prescribed dimensions is: Eastern route, $1^,209,372 central route, §18,.094,105. To the latter may be audod, if necessary, cost of feeder from Lewiston reservoir to the Scioto valicy, §24,000, making the whole sum for cue central route. §18,118,135. Western route, $23,011,374.
The board concludes that while it would be feasible to construct a canal of the dimensions specified it would by reason of inadequate depth in the canal and the Ohio be restricted in its beneiits.
In the opinion of the board the construction of a canal of such dimensions, or apart from an adequate improvement of the Ohio river would not be advisable. The board has not considered it part of its duty to present -any recommendation with regard to a canal of dimensions different from those prescribed in the act of congress. A canal having a uniform width of 85 feet aud a depth of 10 feet would admit the passage of vessels that might be considered of about the last practicable size for lake navigation.

The house spent the entire day fixing the salaries of United States district attorneys in the amendment to the legislative appropriation bill to abolish the fee system.
