tSkirmisliing between jthe President

debates in the lower btjanch of Con
gress; notable speeches in the Senate;
a Convention in behalf of the Missis
sippi river, and anothcrjby the Nation

week at the capital. .. J
The controversy between the Pres
ident and the majority pf tho Senate
has reached an interesting io4nt and
there is prospect of a political debate

in that end of the Capitol this week
Tho Republu ans of the! Scnat s detei

as they could. They will take everv

plex and annoy the Administration
They assume this course to bj a polit
ical duty, und their le.iders, Edmund,
Hoar, Morrill, Sherman ami others
aro thoroughly trained n all the ait
of obstruction and legislative chicanery.
They were drilling forlthis onslaught
on the persons and policy composing
the Administration at the time they
were making professions of good will
towards tho President und his Admin
istration. Senator Edmunds proposes to begin
the fiht by offering his resolution
calling upon the President to fttrnis'i
information rturardinjr the c;iscs of
lemoval of federal officials au l his rea
sons for the sarno. The Democratic
Sonators are united a)id harmonious
and will support Mr. Cleveland. They
are getting ready for the discussion by
holding caucuses and the Republicans
are doing likewise.
There is no more bitter partisan in
the Senate than chieftain Edmunds,
of Vermont He is the ercH enemy of
the Democratic party, and he shaped
this little game while professing great
admiration for tho President's good
intentions and an anxious desire for
his success. He took jiains to call at
the NY Into House at tlw time of V ice-
President .Hendricks'
death and af
footed good will toward
!sMr. Cleveland
by urging him not to attend the funeral
at Iudianapolis. Mr.

The Senate has aga n been debating
the old Electoral Count problem. ' Sen
ator Sherman went atj length into the
issues iD volved, opposing all other plans
and offering one of his own, ia the ef
fect that if the two Houses disagree
they shall meet in joint convention and
elect a President. Other Presidential
candidates besides tjie wily Senator
from Ohio, discussed how the next vote
of tho Electoral College should be
counted These wire Evarts, Mr.
Hayes' Secretary of
State, and Ed-
munds and Hoar, eil

candidate if the other one can be got
ten out of the way. Four other Pres
idential aspirants sat an a group, silent
but alert listeners, turning occasionally
to a neighbor and whispering with the
emphasis of a clenched fist. These
were Hawley, Harris n, Allison and
Cullom. The subject evidently had a
personal interest fo? each,,," although
Logan has said i ecently that, no man
can go from the Senate to the White
House nowaday.
The House has bejen discussing Ptn
sions among other things. Nearly all
the old pension projects of the Forty
Eighth Congress have been introduced
in this, while there are some new
ones which outdo in extravagance any
thing hitherto proposed. There was a
warm debate on the bill increasing
widows' pensions f ron 8 to ? 1 2. Rep

forward these bills is not to benefit the

to make the tax payers of t'e cou -try
pny for their political supremacy.

STRANGE STORY OF A STATUE.
A Figure to Which Italian Feasants
Frayed and at Which Yankees Laugh.
For the past forty years and more
people have laughed at the cold air and
naked form of George Washington as
he sits in marble at the east front of
the Capitol. He has been the butt of
all tho jokes of Senators, Representa
tives, strangers and guides for the past
four decades, and even solemn Allen
G. Thurman has aided in the ridicule.
Still this statue has a longer history
than any other at the Capitol. It was
ordered by Congress at the end of An
drew Jackson's lirst term, and it took
eight years for Horatio Grecnough to
make it. He did the work in Florence,
Italy, and he male the statue in a sit
ting posture instead of pedestrian, as
the act of Congress demanded. It was
designed, you know, to stand in the
center of the rotunda inside the Capitol.
Well, when it was convicted, in 1810,
the next question was how to get it
from Italy to America. Congress hag
gled over it for some time, and finally
sent a man-of-war to bring it from Ge
noa to Washington. In the meanwhile
Mr. Grconougli had started it on to
Genoa. It weighed twelve tons, and it
took twenty-two yoke of oxen to haul
it. As it went on'lts way through Italy
it is said that the peasants thought it
the image of some saint, and that here
and there they knelt and crossed their
oreasLs as ,it went by. When it
got to Genoa, it was "found that it
was so largo that it could not bo
gotten through the hatchway of the
man-of-war which was to carry it to
Washington, 'and merchant vessel
had to be chartered. At last it arrived
at the Washington navy yard, and
Congress was horrified to see that their
pedestrian statue was sitting in a chair,
and that it was nude to the waist.
Henry A. Wise then said: "The man
does not live, and never did live, who
saw Washington without his shirt,"
and tho country applauded the senti
ment. But the navy yard is not the
-Capitol, and it cost $5,000 to bring the
statue from it to the rotunda. When
it wa3 gotten to the Capitol doors it
was found that the statue, like the
painting of tho Vicar of Wakefield's
family, was too large to go through.
Tho masonry had to be cut away and
the door enlarged. When it was
finally put in it is said the floor began
to sink, and ft pedestal had to bo built
under it J;oanpport it. - It was soon
founay however, that tho rotunda as"
ao puco ioj it,.ana iinauy, alter a
number of removals, it was taken to
where it now etaads, in the bitter cold,
bleak, air of the Capitol plateau, where
the winds can'vhowl out Washington's
agony as they go tearing bj and
where bJOiakedness, has tho 'boundless-arch
of the sky for a-canopy.
tMcinakly. the statue was to have cost
$5,000.vlt Jiasr alwsady cost $44,000,
and this sum is considerably taereased

PAGAN INI.
How the Great Violinist Manipulated His
Ibstnuaent. ' -:' . -
How did Paganini play? Now like
an Angel, now like a demon with' his
.tail in a closed 4or Ho' played like
the very devil himself never like a
mortal man. . Such sounds assuredly
have .never . yet been drawn from a
.violin., jThe -only thing tnat sounded
like them was pnlling a cat by. the hind
leg from uuder aa ash barrel. In fact,
they wdrenp real violin sounds; they
soundedlike the roaring of the storm,
like the., surging of the - aea,: like -a
chronie snorer with his nose congested,
like a brakeman oa the Elevated Rail
road with a cold in his head, like the
ringing of the trombone, like the thun
der of a fat man with a deep voice
whoso suspender button flew off,: like
tho chimes of a dinner bclL or the
sound of a bird,-like the anguish and
despair of a man, like moaning, and
singing, and whining and weeping.
And when the G string wailed, then
tears came through the eyes from the
listening hearts of men, tears of sad
ness and delight, real salt and water
tears aabig as Texas pecan nnts none
of your artificial tears gotten up to de
ceive the public. -
His performance had tho effect of
flashes of lightning in a dark night He
was as full of electricity as a black cat
that is rubbed the wrong way of the
fur. Whilo ho played, a nervous tremor
went through his whole frame,
shaking, thin and spectre-like ; as
it was, and from his gloomy eyes
there flashed a deeply-seated, raging
fire, 6uch as Is sometimes seen in ihe
eyes of an editor on whom a barkeeper
shoved off a bad quarter.' With the
last stroke of the bow tho player sank
completely eshaustcd.
His technique was the purest chro
matic roulades, his wotjderfully clear
intonation, even in humorous bizatre
riee, excited the astonishment of peo
ple who were engaged in the manufac
ture of bfzarreries and knew all about
them. His broken accords across all
the four strings, from tho lowest depths
np to the giddiest heights, could not be
distinguished from the noiso mado by a
boy running a stick along a picket fence.
His rapid octave playing upon the G
string, his silvery chime of bells, his
fortissimo, which drowned the whole
of the orchestra, followed immediately
by the sweetest, most charming pianis
simo, can only be compared to the loud
Toiee of a woman who is scolding .her
boy for tearing hi3 pants, and suddenly
hears the voice of her pastor at the
door asking if she was in.
All this was inconceivable or incom
prehensible, and, therefore, also inde
scribable. Even , the best violinists of
Berlin shook their heads and said: "We
do not comprehend it; that is superhu
man. If we had not heard and seen
this performance, we should not be
lieve it," And yet Paganini died -a
natural death. lie was never even shot
at Texas Siftings.

ACTIVITY AND HAPPINESS.
The Relation Which the Former Bears to
the Latter.
Dr. Adam Clarke once remarked
that the secret of happiness is never to
suffer your energies to stagnate. Tho
remark was wise. There is far moro
happiness in activity than idleness.
The latter leads to the stagnation of all
the qualities of our nature. There is a
vast amount of misery in the world,
tho result of i idleness. Perhaps tho
most unfortunate necessity that can
befall one, is that of inactivity. Few
can endure it, without the depreciation
of every quality in their nature. Wo
men who idly spend days and week in
the quiet of home, with not enough to
do to keep the brain alive, or the body
healthy, are apt to suffer and grow
feeble. Indeed, the great cause of ill
health among American women is idle
ness. It is our pride that wc put away
the necessity for our women to work.
So far as slavish, degrading work is
concerned, it is well. But enough to
do to keep them healthy is better.
European countries Ihow us the op
posite extreme of women tilling fields
and doing hard manual labor. But
physically they are examples of sturdy
strength. Unfortunately tho intellect
is not cultivated, nor is refinement ad
vanced. But the hard lifo of physical
labor proves its hcalthfulness. In our
country the ladies, who are above tho
necessity of labor, arc awaking to the
fact that the domestic duties are not
necessarily drudgerv. Art enters Into

healthful activity. And such a Conrso.
if it shall become really popular, will
go far toward rendering the health and
happiness of all comnlefe.
It is quite noticeable that men who
have pushed through tangled difficul
ties and attained success rarely care to
fall back, even in advanced years, into
absoluto idleness. They may soften
down the cares of business, but will
not abandon them entirely. Such men
go through tho gradations of age best

active man. His very onjovment Is m

Activity is an expression of health,
and this is essential to happiness. Idle
ness is not tho natural tendency of a
thoroughly healthful of canization. The

And this expression is happiness. Its
repression creates a restless, uneasy
feeling, which Is nature's remonstrance

FLASHING 1 FIRE.
How an Eccentric loung Kan Varalrzed
. the Waiters in a 27ew York Restaurant.
A lively young tfiaa with a red mus
tache entered a Nassau street eating
house yesterda and '. took a seatv . He
wore a black "neck . scarf in which was
thrust an odd-looking ; pin. A pretty
waiter girl came. up, and while brush
ing away the crumbs from behind the
guest asked for his order; - " - -
"You may bring me some Boston
baked" ... .-.
The young woman did not hear the
conclusion of the sentence, for a brill
iant light flashed from the odd scarf
pin and frightened her so much that
she nearly fainted. :The young man
glanced up with a look o"f mild sur-
prise and sald; "Are yon faint?" ;
The waitress . hurried off to the
kitchen. The head of the house, a
man whose scanty gray hair anif ull
beard are well known to those who at
tend the up-toWn temperance meetings
on Sunday afternoons, then - next ap
proached. He put the pepper bottle
back in the castor, picked up, a dough
nut from the floor and was about to
make an observation upon the superi
ority of his squash pies, when fire again
flashed from the young man's, scarf
pin. . -' ;
"What who what is the matter
with your neck tie?" ,he stuttered,
looking at the young man in a startled
manner. "It was on lire just now."
"O, I guess that's all right," mur
mured the latter, with a smile. "Any
trouble with it now?"- ; t ; : :-
"No, I can't see that there is, but1'
The fire again becama luminous and
shone with a brilliancy never equaled
by any diamond. : -'. , : - .
"It's an electric light on a small
scale," said the young man.; "I hav
a little battery , in my, pocket. By
pressing a button a eurrent of elec
tricity is conducted to the pin, which
contains a small piece of carbonized
bamboo, and the light is produced. Big
thing, isn't it?? 8 K-Tribune.
