would be compelled to let the matter go over. Tho next House will be Democratic, and no bill creating a new Republican State will he likely to receive its approv

al. The Republicans will have to get along without any electoral votes from Dakota in 1S84. A letter from the Secretary of the Treasury transmitting to tho House a copy of the dispatch from Commander Mcrruun, of tho United Sl ates ship Adams, referring to the shelling of an Alaskan village, eujphas'zes the necessity of withholding liquor from native Alaskans, and recommends that authority bo given to enforce the prohibition of selling beer

as well as liquor. The keepers of bar rooms there have a practice of mixing ai-

co hul with beer, and rendering it as in

toxicating as whisky, and most of the trouble, Merriam thinks, comes from the sale of liquors. The claim of the Governor of South Carolina for one-half the proceeds of sales and leases of lands during the war in that State, collected under tho 12th section of the net of .1 une 7, 1802, cannot be

paid according to the decision of the First Comptroller, The section referred to does not make an appropriation of money or authorize such payment to any State or Governor thereof, and even if this difficulty be removed, no payment could be made by the Secretary of tho Treasury to any State under itn provisions, for the reason that the conditions precedent therein required to authorize payment have not been in any particular complied with.

The civil-service agitation in Congress has reacted upon the departments and finds expression iu more stringent rules as to hours and work. The War and Treasury departments seem to take the lead, and the mutterings and complaints of those effected would lead one to suppose that the lot of a government clerk just at this juncture, "is not a happy one." Tho War Department clerks, who have hereto fore been allowed a half hour at noon, with freedom to leave the building for lunch, recreation or exercise, have, by a recent order been debarred from doing so in the future, while a mourning wail will go up from the neighboring restaurants )iin consequence of diminished receipts. The passage of the shipping' bill by the House is regarded with much satisfaction as the first step toward re-establishing the position on the sea once enjoyed by the merchant marine of this country, Governor Dingley, the author of the bill, said: "We havo accomplished all that we started out to procure. The bill is addressed strictly to tho register of ships and removing the burdens upon and discriminations against American ships which have grown up in the past twenty years. When it is found that American ships cart be sailed as cheaply as .English ships, there will be a demand for them,

Then Mrs. Fosdick heard of this flirtation and remonstrated She went so far as to ask Commissioner McFarland, in whose bureau the blonde young lady is, to dismiss her. The Commissioner declined, but reprimanded Fosdick. The reprimand did not induce an abandonment of the flirtation. Then Mrs. Fosdick wont to the dep artment with a cow-hide concealed under her cloak.

Well, we got all fixed, and pa wrapped and we let him in and told him he must be blindfolded, and he got on his knees a Lifting, and I tied a towel around his eyes, and then put the buck beer sign right against pa's clothes. He was laughing all the time and said we boys were full of fun as they made 'em, and wo told

I him it was a solemn occasion, and we

wouldn't permit any levity, and if he dicta t stop laughing we couldn't give him tho grand bumper degree. Then everything was ready, tind my chum had his hand on the closed door, and some kyan pepper in his other hand, and I asked pa in low base tones if he felt as though he wanted to turn back or if he had nerve enough to go ahead and take the degree, I warned him that it was full of dangers, as the goat was loaded for

"Lrlitg Forth the Itoyal Bumper, and Let Him 15ump." FacJv1 Sun. This week the youth tells the corner grocery man that his pa joined the Masonic order, and getting "initiated," along with a rehearsal of the parent's injunctions to him to always be good, with the prospect of being admitted to the order himself when he grew up. The idea t aok root at once in the bad boy's mind. He procured a bob-tailed billy goat from t. neighboring livery stable, and the subs extent proceeding will be fouftd below, as related to the grocer: "Well, sir. my chum and me practiced

with a goat until he could but a picture of a goat every time. We berried a buck beer sign from a saloon man, and hung it on the back of a chair, 'and the goat would hit every time. That night pa wanted to know what we were doing up in the room, and I told him we were playing lodge

and improving our imnds, and pa said that was right, there was nothing that boys did of our age half so much good as to imitate men, and store by useful nollidge. Then my chum asked pa if he didn't want to come up and take the grand bumper degree, pa laughed and said he didn't care if lie did, just to encourage us boys in innocent pastime that was so improving to our intellect. We had shnf- the goat up in a room and he had got over blatting, so we took off the handkerchief, and he was eating pome paper collars, and we told pa to come up pretty soon and give three distinct raps, and when we ask him who

A London Fog. London Letter New Yorl! ; Times. It is better to be "fogged up" in London than "snowed up" m this country. I say this on the immediate experience of the moment. Escaping from a half-buried railroad train between Sheffield and Manchester, I arc. writing this letter in the midst of a genuine rich old brown London

fog. It is Sunday, and we shold have gone to church if we could have walked or driven there. But all traffic is stopped. The house abuts on Regent's Park, v but we cannot see the trees, though we know they are over the way. There is a small garden in front and another at the back. We can see something like the outline of the gates belonging to each. The roads in front and rear are still as death, quiet as the snow-drifts I have left between Sheffield and Manchester. The omnibuses are not running; there are no cabs; the world

so far as we know it is m total darkness. The fog is to-day everywhere, even in the house. It has'eonie through the key-holes and under the doors; it makes a halo round the lamp; I can smell it and taste it. A certain English writer says if upon the stage you show the audience a palpable mutton chop you must tell them that it is a muttton chop, and then to make sure that you have conveyed this fact to their inner consciences,ypu must h t them smell it . In order that the American reader may realise what an out and out London fog is, let me tell him that it is not only darkness that can be seen and felt,

but can be smelled and tasted. While I have been writing this paragraph the gar

den gates have wholly disappeared, so, also, has the very window sill; it is utterly dark, the window frames are opaque with the fog; the room is lighted with all the power of fires and gas, and yet the very atmosphere is foggy. I have a large experience of this metropolitan phenomenon, but it is darker to-day at 3 o'clock, when tho sun should be shining, than it has ever been in my memory. It is not difficult to realize the possible death of the great city in a fog like this a never-ending ni ght. I Is ave j ust been in the street, feeling my way a dozen yards. But for the lights in the windows of neighbors' dwellings, London appears to be really and truly dead. Distant cries of persons trying to guide each other through the abnormal night are heard. Many persons will pray unayailingly for life to-day; the young and the aged suffering from chest diseases and pulmonary complaints will die of the fog, literally choked. And yet a few miles away we know that the sun is shining, for morning broke here clear and frosty, and we shall hear in the papers tomorrow that an hour by rail from London the air was crisp and bright, wintry, perhaps, but bracing and with a blue sky.

Prentice's Advice to a Young Man. To a young man away from home, friendless and forlorn in a great city, the hours of peril are those between sunset and bed-time, for the moon and the stars see more evil in a single hour than the sun in his whole day's circuit. The poet's visions or! evening: are all composed of tender and soothing images. It brings the wanderer to his home, the child to its mother's arms, the ox to his stall and the weary laborer to his rest. But to the gentle-hearted youth who is thrown upon the pitiless rocks of the city, and stands homeless amid a thousand homes, the approach of evening brings with it an aching sense of loneliness and desolation which comes down on the spirit like darkness upon the earth. In this mood his best impulse becomes a snare to him, and he is led astray because he is social, affectionate, sympathetic and warm-hearted. If there be a young man thus circumstanced within the sound of my voice let me say to him that, books are the friends of the friendless, and that a library is a home to the homeless. A taste for reading will always carry you to converse with men who wiJl influence you with their wisdom and charm you by their wit: who will soothe you when fretted, refresh you when weary, council you when erplexed, and sympathize with

vou at &11 times. Evil spirits in the mid- j

die ages were exorized and driven away by bell, book and candle, and you want but two of these agents, the book and the candle. Now and Then. Evans vilie News. To a student of history the change in the current of public opinion assumes the

outpouring of the spirit was to be vouchsafed to His people; and none of them sat down but ma, 'cause the goat hadn't hit her, and while they were talkuY religion with their mouths, and kussin the goat inwardly, my chum and me adjourned the lodge, and I went and stayed with him all night, and I hain't been home since. But I don't believe pa will lick me, 'cause ho said he would not hold us responsible for the consequences. He ordered the goat himself, and we filled the order, don't you see? Well, I guess I will go and sneak iu the back way and find out from the hired girl how the land lays. Btio won't go back ou me, 'cause the goat wasn't leaded for hired girls,she

to-day accounted in some lines one of the most complete of the libraries of the world, none of the earlier editions of these dramatists are to be found on the shelves excluded because they were frivolous and indecent. To-day the nastiest line in Shakespeare is .held to be a gem of: the purest water, and one who can not admire the great poet in his most indecent humors, and see in his most indecent lines nobility of thought is looked down upon by scholars. A Masked Bar in Maryland. Qi ar lest own Xovrs. ... In the hearing of one of the whisky cases last Wednesday a singular contrivance for evading the local option law was brought to light. Three witnesses, testified that at Hall's Hotel, in the old bar, a corner is penned off, having a fronting of tin or sheet iron; that they have rapped upon this tin screen and called for whisky or lager, and immediately a drawer was pushed out containing the article; they drank, dropped in their money and the drawer disappeared without any one being seen. In defense, Mr. Hall stated that the room in which this masked bar was kept was not under his control; that he rented it sometime in May last to a man named McGuire, and received a stipulated sum therefor. The Court, however, failed to appreciate Mr. Hall's defense. Judge Wickes said his explanation was not satisfactory; his little arrangement was u mere evasion, and as this was the second time the gentleman had been befcee the Court on the charge of violating the law, he imposed a fine of $100 and costs in each of the three oases against himfooting up a sum of about $400.

The impression, that Germany is free from the curse of distilled liquors because the German are so partial to beer and light wines, is corrected by the feet; that in Prussia alone the annual cGmnimption of whisky and" brandy amounts to $52,000,000, or $2 per year for every man., woman and child.

Emigration from Germany to the United States earns to have ftdlen off somewhat from the high figures of 1881. During November the number of emigrants who left Hamburg was 8,144, as compared with 9, 341 in the same month of 1881. for th e first eleven months of 1882 the number was 3 10,001. as against 149,350 for the same period of 1881; but the former figure includes a considerable percentage of f tt gitiye Jews. On the whole, it is calculated that the number of emigrants passing through Hamburg has tlnXycar fallen & by from 30,000 to $5,000.
