used to it. What’s the odds, after all?” ‘‘Now listen to me, if its no taking up your time,” said Farfrae; ‘just as I listened to you. Don’t go. Stay at home.” “But I can do nothing else, man,” said Henchard, scornfully, “The little money I have will just keep body and soul together for a few weeks and no more. I have not felt inclined to go back to journey-work yet; but I can’t stand doing nothing, and my best chance is elsewhere.” “No; but what I propose is this—if ye will listen. Come and live in your old house. We can spare some rooms very well; I am sure my wife wouldn’t mind it at all—until there’s an opening for ye.” Henchard started. Probably the picture drawn by the unsuspecting Donald of himself under the same roof with Lucetta was too striking to be received with equanimity. “No, no,” he said, gruffly; “we should quarrel.” “You should hae a part to yourself, said Farfrae, “and nobody would interrupt you. It will be healthier than down there by the river where you live now.” Still Henchard refused. “You don’t know what you ask,” he said. “However, I can do no less than thank ye.” They walked into the town together side by side, as they had done when Henchard had persuaded the young Scotchman to remain. “Will you come in and have some supper?” said Farfrae, when they reached the middle of the town, where their paths diverged right and left. “No, no.” “By the bye, I had nearly forgot. I bought a good deal of your furniture.” “So I have heard.” “Well it was not that I wanted it so very much for myself; but I wish ye to pick out all that you care to have —such things as may be endeared to ye by associations, or particularly suited to your use. And take them to your own house; it will not be depriving me; we can do with less very well; and I will have plenty of opportunities of getting more.” 1 ‘ What —give it to me for nothinar?' 1 said Henchard. “But you paid the creditors for it.” “Ah, yes; but may bo its worth more to you than it is to me.” Henchard was a little moved. “I —sometimes think I’ve wronged ye!" he said, in tones which showed the disquietude that the nightshades hid in his face. He shook Farfrae abruptly by the hand, and hastened away as if unwilling to betray himself further. Farfrae saw him turn through the thoroughfare into Bull Stake and vanish down toward the priory mill. ****** (to be continued.)

He Got His Grindstone. Stamford Advocate. Old Capt Irving, who owns an old canal boat which lies at the waterside, has a pretty good story which he can tell nowadays about a grindstone he had on his boat for some time. One morning it was missing. Some one had stolen it. The old Captain told the story to Missionary Allen about having lost it, and Mr. Allen thought it a good illustration to point out the all-seeing power of Providence, which he spoke about at one of his meetings last week. Mr. Allen skid that if a man should be walking along by a dock, there being no one in sight, and should see a grindstone lying on an old canal boat and should take it, although there should be no one to see him, God would see him do it. It came to the time where testimonies are given by the converts and others, and a man who set in one corner of the room rose and said: “I stole that grindstone, but I’ll bring it back.” No one had looked for the culprit there, but he evidently thought that he had been detected in the act. Ex-President Harrison’s Brother. Washington Post. J. Scott Harrison, brother of Benjamin Harrison, and the man whom the Senate refused to confirm as surveyor of customs at Kansas City, is it the Ebbitt. Mr. Harrison says fie is here looking after customs matters in relation with the office which he will hold until the next session of Congress, notwithstanding his rejection. He was, it will be remembered, appointed during the recess, and will consequently hold over until 1895. “I am here on business,” said Mr. Harrison, “but I will nevertheless look over the situation in my case. { do not care to express any opinion upon my rejection. I have been life-long Democrat, a resident o. Kansas City since 2,871, and consider that I am entitled to the position.” Mr. Harrison’s resemblance to his listinguished brother, while not a striking one, is nevertheless suffijiently strong to bring the ExPresident to mind. The biggest sawmill in America, lust sold at Tapper lake, N. Y., contains $150,000 worth of machinery.

FIFTY-TIIIKD^ONGKESS. In the Senate, Tuesday, Senator Daniel concluded his speech on the Hawaiian question. Ho warmly commended the course of the administration In the Hawaiian matter, but hold that there was now but one course to pursue, and that was to recognize tho provisional government. Senator Voorhees presented a petition signed by four thousand citizens of Massachusetts in favor of the passage of the new tariff bill and indicating that such legislation would be beneficial to Massachusetts Industries. Senator Hoar called attention to the fact that this petition was really a petition for protection. In reply to an Inquiry from Senator Hoar as to the names of some of tho petitioners, Senator Voorhees said: “I see on the petition tho names of John M. Forbes, M. Lloyd Garrison and Stetson and Endicott, and other names familiar in the history of tho commonwealth.” The petition was referred to tho finance committee. Tho bill providing for tho erection of a new government printing office was read. Pending consideration of the bill the Senate, at 4 p. m., on motion of Senator Sherman, went into executive session and at >:49 p. m. adjourned. The deadlock in tho House on tho seigniorage bill was not broken, Tuesday. Roll call followed roll call in the customary tedious manner until 4 o’clock. It then became apparent that a quorum could not be Secured, and at 4:10, on motion of Mr. Bland, tho House adjourned. In the Senate, Wednesday, the tariff question came up in an unexpected way. Senator Voorhees denied that tho Democratic members of the committee having charge of the tariff bill were submitting to the President’s directions. Further discussion caused Mr. Voorhees to say that it was no business of the Senate how the finance committee considered tho bill. An acrimonious debate followed. Following this episode Senator White spoke on the Hawaiian resolution and condemned the conduct of ex-Minister Stevens. A resolution by Senator Gorman to print 6,000 copies of tho Hawaiian papers was adopted. At 5:05 o’clock, on motion of Senator Gorman, the Senate wont into executive session and at 5:45 adjourned. A quorum to vote on the Bland seigniorage bill could not be secured in tho House, Wednesday. On motion to adjourn over until Friday because of Washington’s birthday a hot debate ensued. “If the Democratic party cannot do business,” said Mr. Bland, hotly, "itjhad better not fritter Its time away on holidays. It would bn a sorry spectacle for us to adjourn over.” Mr. Bland then made the point of order that no quorum having been developed tho House could not entertain tho motion to adjourn over. Tho Speaker sustained the point of order, and the vote was > taken by yeas and nays on Mr. Bland’s motion to adjourn till Thursday. The motion was carried—140 to 97. Before tho announcement of the vote was made Mr. Burrows moved that when the House adjoinn it adjourn to meet on Friday, but the Speaker decided tnat the motion was not in order, and then, at 4:05, the House adjourned till Thursday.

But twenty-five members were present when the Senate convened at noon, Thursday. Senator Hoar had read a newspaper article alleging the circulation of lottery tickets in Florida. Senator Pasco stated that the people of Florida were taking steps to put down the foreign lottery business in Florida and denied the existence of drawings in the State. On motion of Senator Gorman the Senate agreed when it adjourned to-day it would be to meet on Monday next. Senator Martin, of Kansas, offered a resolution instructing the finance committee to prepare a bill for the free coinage of silver at the rate of 16 to 1. Ho also presented a resolution directing Ihe judiciary committee to prepare a joint resolution providing for the election of Senators by direct vote of the people. At the c onclusioh of the routine morning business the order of the reading of President Washington's farewell address was road. A number ofScnatora left the chamber before the reading commenced, leaving ponsidsrably less than a quorum in their seats. It was the signal also for an excuse irom the galleries, leaving a small but very attentive audience. Mr. Martin stood bolide the Vice-President while reading the memorable document. At 1:35 Senator Martin finished the reading of the address ind on motion of Senator Voorhcos the Senate adjourned till Monday. The attempt of the sergeant-at-arms to :arry out the order for the arrest of ablentees by arresting members, who refused >o vote, on the floor of the House, Thursiay, led to some sensational scenes. Ropmsentative Cummings, of New York,came lown the middle aisle of the House just is the session was about to open. Deputy Mill stepped up to him and notified him by virtue of the warrant he hold Mr. Cqmnings would be placed under arrest and iis parole taken. The Congressman lushed and took the matter seriously. Ho stepped back and In bitter language lenounced the effort to arrest him. He refused to recognize the validity of the warrant. “I’ll give you fair warning,” said Mr. Cummings, “that if you touch no you act at your peril.” After order lad been restored Mr. Cummings adIressod the House and denounced the proceedings as a farce and desecration >f Washington’s birthday. After lomo parliamentary motions to idjonrn had been disposed of the chair dated the question to be upon Mr. Bland’s icmand for the previous question upon his notion to discharge Mr. Hulick from mstody. As tho Houso was dividing, Mr. Sickles, of New York, standing on his quitches in the center aisle, was loudlv :alling for recognition, stating that ho lad a question of the highest personal privilege to present. “I am informed,” laid he, “that I am under arrest. I demand to know by what authority.” Mr Dockery, who was in the chair, declared bat Mr. Sickles could not interrupt the proceedings while tho House was divid-

Ing. Mr. Sickles, however, Insisted 01 being heard, and Mr. Terry, of Arkansas called him to order. The Speaker pp tcm. ordered Mr. Sickles to take his seal Mr. Sickles declined to sit down. He said “If I am under arrest I cannot bo an; worse off if I am in contempt. I am un der arrest now, sir, and In custody of th. Sergnant-at-Arms.” All this time Mr Sickles had boon standing, demandlni that hoshould bo heard, and he was finallj recognized. Mr. Sickles then said ‘Tan Informed by the Sergeant-at-arms that ■ am under arrest, I demand to know I this is true." The official report of ar rests made by the Sergeant-at-Arms wa: then read. “1 demand a separate trial,’ said Mr. Sickles, sifter the reading of th« report was concluded. “This is the Housi of Representatives,” finally shouted Mr Dockery, “not a beer garden. [Laughtei and applause.] The gentleman will hav« a separate trial if ho desires it, but the rules must bo obeyed. The gentleman will take his scat.” "I always obey orders.” said Mr. Sickles, as ho sat down. After other members who had been arrested had been hoard in their own behalf, Mr. Sickles again became excited and hoi ly interrupted the proceedings, declaring that the warrant for the airest of absentees was void. Tho excitement grew to riotous proportions. Mr. Cummings came to the support of Sickles and with uplifted arm and ringing voice called out; “You did not call him to order at Gettysburg.” [Applause.] During all this tim« Mr. Dockery had been counting the Houst and at this point ho announced that thi demand for the previous question had been carried 97 to 0. “Art you going to adjourn and leave me in chains?” asked Mr. Sickles, in a modi piteously-appealing fashion. The motion to adjourn was then put. As Mr. Illand, the recognized leader of tho light, had made it his supporters voted with him. one of them, Mr. Pendleton, of Texas, standing on top of his desk in the rear ol the hall. It was carried, 133 to 101, and at 3:03 the House closed one of the most exciting and disorderly sessions of thit Congress.

Tho members, of tlio House under arrest were discharged from custody, Friday, after four hours of wrangling. Mr. Keed came to the front in a characteristic way. Mr. Bland secured recognition and delivered a bitter speech arraigning member! of his own party as well as Kepublicat opponents as anarchits for their unlawful obstruction of the proceedings of thi House. He claimed that the Democrat! were bound to do business or surrendcj and not waste the money of the country by wasting the time set apart for consideration of the seigniorage bill. Continuing, he said that a further refusal on tin part of the Democrats to vote and decid* the question at issue was political suicide At the conclusion of his sensational speed Mr. Bland moved that the House go inti committee of the whole to consider tht silver bill and that all debate close at 5 p m. Saturday. On this the previous question was demanded. Filibustering at onci began again, as Mr. Tracey demanded i division on the vote for the previous question. The division showed 147 to 2 —n< quorum. A motion to adjourn was los 1 1 and a recess was taken. At the nigh session pension matters were considered A roll call developed the presence of brf fifty-six members. At 9:30 the House adjourned.
