In tho courso of his address Voorhees snid it tho attorney general wore guiKy ns charged, (lion ho should ha im pcachiHl. That wub a mutter for the house. Tho majority ot tho senato had turned KHidofiom tho legilimato business of legis lation. Labor all over tho country was overtaxed and scantily paid by reason of long standing iimf vicious legislation, Voorhees heartily endorsed Cleveland' action in making removals so far as in lion had boon hud, and ho would heartily un dorso the president's action in the same direction if it went a thousand lcugucd farther. House, March 20. In commltteo of the whole on tho posloillco appropriation bill Gueuthor, of Wisconsin, said that tho postmaster-general had been made n target for inuumerablo nnd vicious assaults and mis representations, which, in his opinion, hud been entirely unfounded, and dictated sole ly from a spirit of revenge and spit" by c r tain steamship companies, nnd especially tho I'acilic Mail Steamship company, which, seeing its well laiil plans for n suc cessful mid on tho treasury frustrated by tho posUiffiee department, hud set up u most terrific and prolonged howl tit to lie compaiod only to tho howl of a tiger whose prey had been snatched away from li'm. The reasons given by tho postmaster-general for not exercising' tho authority given him in regard to tho foreign mail service ero good and sufficient reasons. The evening session of tho house was devoted to consideration of resolutions expressive of the sorrow of that body at the deal li o Josoph Uankin, late representative from Wisconsin. Kulogialic addresses were do livcrcd and resolutions unanimously adopt ed and, as a mark of respect to tlm mem ory ot tho deceased, tho liouso adjourned. Sknath 'rnrch CO.

Morgan offered a resolution declaring that nothing in the resolutions already ml opted was to Imj construed as declaring that tho conduct of the attorney geno:al rendered him liublo to impeachment and that tho senate dis claimed tho right or pnwr to punish him by imprisonment or otherwise other than by impeachment for the offnuse churned against him in tho resolution.

The silver bill was then considered without definite action until adjournment. Sknati:, March 29. After tho routino morning business Logan's army bill was placed before tho senate. Logan defended his position on the bill. As to ono of the arguments advanced by tho senator from Kansas (Plumb), that because laborers were poorly paid soldiers should not be better paid than at present, ho thought that a very poor argument. It was very singular that men ol wealth and bankers rich enough to be hardly able to count their money were always found to be tho friends of tho workingmeu laughter in gal leries. This was all right for rich men to do, but when anything was said for tho workiugmi'ii by those who had the actual experience of workingmon, that was alto gether improper. It was only bankers and rich men who were to have tho right to speak for tho workingmon. "I was brought, up to labor on a farm at $0 a mouth," said Logan, ''and when any man insinuates Hint f am not a friend of tho poor man it is utterly unjiiHtiliablo." Referring to the suggestion Unit the increase of the armv was wanted for show, "for circus," Logan repelled it. The people did not want any "show" about it. They had "show and circus" enough in the senato laughter, and while the senatorial circus was on lie did not know any more active performers than the seuatois who were opposed to this bill. Renewed laughter. IIousi:. March 20. A bill was introduced by Hill to enable the people of Dakota to form a constitution; also to establish the territory of North Dakota. A bill was in troduced by Willis, of Kentucky, to aid in llio establishment nnd temporary support of common schools. Referred to the com mittee on labor. Tho following joint reso lution was offered by Belmont: Thai the sum of $1-17,748 bo appropriated to pay tho Chinese government in consideration of losses unhappily sustained by certain Chi nese subjects by mob violenco at Hock Springs, Wyoming, said sum being intended for distribution among tho sufferers and their legal representatives in tho discretion of the Chinese government. That further restriction of Cliineso and coolie immigra tion, if it shall bo found expedient and necessary, can bo most properly accom plished by modification of existing treaties. FROM THE MASTER WORKMAN. A Secret Circular "to the Noble OrdeV orKiillitn of Labor of America." St. Louis dispatch: General Master Work man Powdorly has issued a secrot circular "to tho Noblo Order of Knights of Labor of America," which has just been mnde public. Powderiy instructs tho sccrotnry of encli assembly to call a full mooting and rend it to tho members. Tho address opens with an ordor to tho nssemblica to ceaso initiat ing additional members. "Wo must have patience. You havo had patienco for years and had not the Knights of Lnbornppeared upon the scone wo would still bo wuiting. VViur scale or prices should stand ns they nro for tho present if you cannot raise them by any other process than a strike. You must submit to injustice at tiio hands of employers in patienco for awhile longer. Hide well your time. Kind how much you are justly entitled to nnd a tribunal of ar bitration will settle tho rest."' Powderiy then cautioned tho assemblies against receiving into- their ranks employ er mid wi,rns the knights that politicians are planning night ami day how to catch the Knights of Labor tor advantages for themselves and party, and adds that to use tho mi mo of the order in a political way is criminal, and must not occur. Again, referring to tho eight hour move ment tho circular says: ''Assemblies of Knights of Labor nrist not strike for ti. eight hour system May 1, under tho im prtsdnn thoy nro obeying orders from headquarters, for such an order was not, and will not bo given." Powderiy contin ues: "While I wiite, a dispatch is handed mo in which I read these words: 'They dis charged our brother, and wu struck, for vou know our motto Is 'an injury to one is the corn-em ot all.' ' Yes, tho injury to ono is tho 'concern of all, but it is not wise to injure nil for tho sake of one. It would havo boen far bettor to continue at work and properly investigate tho matter, bring ing it before every known tribunal than to have struck." In conclusion the mnstcr workman says: "I wrote this rirciilar'to lay before the order the exact condition of things. lam neither physically nor mentally able to perform the work required of me. I nm willing to do my part, but not to be asked to maintuiu a false position before the world any longer. One of two things must take place, Kither local and district as semblies must obey its laws, or I must lie permitted to resign from the vocation which obliges mo to play one part before I he public and another before our mem bers. Those who boast must checked by their assemblies. No move must be made un til tho court of Inst resort has been ap pealed to. Threats of vio'euce must not 1)0 made. Politicians must bo hushod or driven out. Obedience to tho laws of Hie knidithood must have preference over ; Ihoseof any other order. U meseinmgi ara done, the next five years will witness the complete emancipation of mankind from the curse ot mom-poly. In our mem bers we require secrecy, obedience, assist an co. natience nnd conruL'c. If with these aids you strengthen my 1 anils I will con tinue in the work; if you do not desire to uhh st ins in this way, then select one bet terqualifVMl to obey your win ami J wiu retire In hm favor."

Bruseolls telegram: The city was pin' enrded during tho night with calls issued by tho workingmen's federation for a great meeting of workingmen. The striking 'miners at Liege attempted general rioting Inst night, but were overpowered by tho police. Tho troops stationed at Antwerp are held within their barracks, to bo avail able for suppression of any disturbance that may bo created by unemployed work ingmen. The strike at Liege hna become nlmost general in (lint district. Conllicts nro taking place between tho strikers and tho civil guards. A largo number of foreign agitators have arrived in thoilisturbed dis trict and are urging the strikers to con tinue t heir resistance to tho nuthnritic. Gung-i of men mado up ot anarchists and roughs of tho worst description are pa.-ad-tug in tho suburbs, creating disorder and perpetrating outrages. Citizens nro way laid and money extorted from them by threats of violence. Postmen going their rounds-are accompanied by guards of sol diers. Arrests of personsengaged in thedis turbnnocH are being made by the wholesale. Many riot rsliavelieen captured whilesleep ing in the fields, where Ihey had fallen whilo drunk. Tho town hall is occupi"d by tho civic guards. A strong reinforcement of troops are iiriiving at the scene of t ho riots. The civic guards aro holding tho pit mouths. The iniiicM strike lmscxtended to Charlo roi. The men demand a 25 per cent, in crease in wages, and pending the granting of it, have quit work and gone to rioting. Tho gen d'armes havo been successful in dispersing tho mobs that have collected. An attempt was mado to-day to blow up a railway train near Husselt. A package containing thirty-five dynamite cartridges had been placed on the rails but was swept aside by tho cow-catcher without being ex ploded. While the engineer was examining he package it exploded and blew otf three ot his fingers. Placards havo been posted in Liege summoning the workmen to-morrow, and concluding with tho words: "Lot each man bring a revolver. Then forward JAY GOULD OX THE STRIKE. Tho Iilno on Which IIo I'ropoicn to fight II' It TnUe All .Summer. Tho New York Tribune publishos a long interview with Jay Gould relativo to tho strike on his lines. Tho following is the substance of Gould's remarks: "Tlierocan bo no compromise in this case. There is no room for compromise, for tho strikers have confessed in effect that they have no grtov mice ngniust tho company. Iam bound to light the question to the bitter ond, and for this reason I havo asked the opinion of Judge Dillon as to the legal rights under tho circumstances, and his decision is that it is our duty as well as our right to prevent the interruption of tliebusiness of the road bv all legal means. Ho sa.vs that tho com pany has n clear legal remedy ngniust the Kn'ghts of Labor organizations for suits and wo propose to test this question in the courts." Mr. Gould said further: "We shnll sue the members of the organization and, in fact, papers m the case are being prepared in accordance with .ludgo Dillon's opinion. Wo propoi-o to recocover damages of every member of tho organization who has any property. A great many of tho employes of the Missouri rncille Imvo homes winch they be. light out or their earnings. They are responsible to us for tho lost-es wo have suffered if they aro Knights of Labor. We uill show tlicm that wo intend to force our legal rights. I propose to fight it out on this line. There is another featuro of the case, and that is that every shipper and manufacturer and every person who has suffered from tho strike lias tho same legal redress." Tho success of this striko, lif said, would unsettle confidence throughout tho world nnd tiie-o workmen would bo tho first to feel its disastrous consequences. IIo lias no news, ho said, which would lead him to suppose that the strike would ex tend to tho cast, and intimated that lit might ask for iuumctious restraining work ing Knighls of Labor from couttibuting to tho Mipport of thoso on tho strike. TALKING RACK TO JAY GOULD. What the KiiIkIiIn ol' Labor Have to Nay of II1 ICcccut Utterance. A St. Louisdispatchsays: Tlioexecutivo board of district assemblies 101, 107 and ll.'i, Knights of Labor, hns issued an ad dress to the Knights of Labor and trado unions throughout North America intended as a reply to tho statements mado by Jay Gould in regard to the strike of the railroad employes of tho southwest. After quoting from the statement of Mr. Gould tho sen- lenee saying that tho employes upon his roads have presented nogiiovances to their management, tho address says: "Wo havo wearied tho press a nil worn the types of the world in stating our grievances and de manding an opportunity to present them to Mr. Gould mid his lieutenants. We have offered through the highest channels that represent us in tho nation to meet liiiu upon any field. We havo sought wo havo plead wo havo demanded that we bo heard. To all this Gould has turned a deal ear. And now before tho world wo dial lengo him to licar our complaints before tho world wo Impeach his veracity when lie savs wo have not presented them. Before the world lot the trial go on. Referring to the decsiou of Gould to sue the organization ot the Knights of Laboi the address says: ''Gould and his counsel well know that such silly emanations are an insult, to the intelligence of our school boys nnd n challenge to the courage of our grailduiothcis." The address closes with an appeal to tho strikeis to stand firm until their organization is recognized and their demands grunted. Militur Forls in NchrnBlio. Two appropriation bills, says a Wash ington dispatch, liave just been reported from tho committee on Indian affairs, to the house, miik:ng appropriations for the rebu Idiug ot military posts and the com pletion of posts already begun. The first contains u i'lnuu appropriating $100,000 for the rebuilding of Kort Robinson. Neb., and the second bill causes the completion ol improvements begun on Fort Niobrara and Omaha, in Nebraska.

ThU makes the third Aiuerlruu murdered lu the cauou this year. A Typical "Sport." Lennder Richardson, a New York correspondent of several papers, lived in Hartford for tv whilo several years ago and became acquainted with a well known sporting diameter, Pat Sheedy. It will bo remembered that Sheedy found tho Hartford field too limited, and some years as;o Fought tho larger cities, principally Chicago. Richard son ran across him in New York re cently, and in a gossipy letter to tho Boston Herald on tho New York sporting fraternity has this to say: Sheedy is about the best man of tho lot in all respects. He has tho repu tation of being ns square as a die, and ho possesses tho coolness and daring of the typical gambler invented by Bret Harte. Indeed, Mr. John Oakhurst never had in real life a moro realistic prototype than Patrick Sheedy. Ho is a lino looking fellow, with a white, clean shaven face, clear, grey eyes, and an attractive and boy ish smile. Ho is always dressed frith quiet taste, and thcroisnothingabout him that is ilnshy or ostentatious. When ho was a bov, Sheedy became the companion and pupil of tho most celebrated of all tho three card monto men, who was known up and down tho wholo United States as Canada Bill. This redoubtable personage used to dress up like a tanner and go traveling on railway trains. When ho had lleeced his man he would retire in his country cos tume to the private room on tho car, and ten minutes later ho would como out in such genteel dress and- so com pletely changed in appearancothattho sharpest eyo would never recognizo him. His pupil, however, has not fol lowed tho same line of business-. Sheedy has always been a legitimate gambler, if legitimacy can be spoken of in con nection wit h a railing like that. Up in Hartford, where much of his early career was spent, they tell a good many interesting stories of this young man. One of them is that ho camo hack there, onco upon a time, after having been absent for an extended period. He had plenty of money with him, and, after paying his debts, which is tho lirst duty oft ho gainblur, ho be gan to play faro in a local report. Ho had been at it half an hour or so, when he discovered that ho was beitm put through the process known by tl,o alluring title of a "skin name." Mr. Sheedy said nothing, but rose, from his seat went down into tho buck yard and camo back aiiain with an ax in his hand. With this weapon ho proceed ed to smash every article of furniture in tho room, nnd to knock out tho windows and sliattoi thedoorn. Hav ing accomplished this picturcsquo re venge he walked out in silence, leaving the astounded and frightened pro prietors in solo possession. A year or so back Sheedy took charge of the ndairs of John L. Sulli van, and the two men worked together without any serious difliculty. In fact, they never but onco had anything that approached a row. That occurred' in tho lobby of tho Coleman JTouso in this city. Sullivan was slightly under tho influ ence of liquor, and was ugly, when some discussion arose about a divis ion of funds. Tho great slugger bo cutno anmy over something said to him by Sheedy, and exclaimed "I'll smash your jaw." "What's that?" queried Sheedy, in a tone of tho utmost coolness! "I'll smash your jaw," repeated Sullivan, with a wicked look m his eye. Tho pale-faced gamblor took Mr. Sullivan by tho coat lapel and led him to ono side. Then ho said in a very low tone: "Havo yon got any friends you would like to see, or tiny business you would iiko to attend to in easo any thing should happen to you?" "Well," responded Sullivan, "and what if I have?" "Because," observed Sheedy, with a facial expression that could not bo mistaken, "You take my advice nnd settle it all up before you smash my jaw. Y'ou will never havo an oppor tunity afterwards." Sullivan looked at Sheedy nn in stant, and then lowered his eyes, with the remark that ho was only fooling. But he didn't fool any more in that direction. Sheedy, thoy tell inc, has not boon in very good luck lately. In deed, tho large amount of money of which ho was stud to he possessed twelve months ago, is said to havo protty much all gone. Still, his stand jng among tho men with whom ho runs is such that he can get pretty much anything he wants in tho way of finan cial assistance for the asking. A Successful Kcniiouiist. It is really worth whilo for tho wage worker to save, although tho process his become so unfashionablo among men of fixed iucoiics that to follow it is regaded almost as a mark of ec centricity. The path to influence and independence for tho toiler begins and steadily follows on tho line of small economies applied in daily life. Ten years ago, in a Pennsylvania manu facturing town, a machinist went homo ono evening and said to his wife: "I am tired of this work lor others, and we'll turn over a new leaf. I get $3 a day. Now, wo will put away ?10 a week, and livo on the rest. Jf we can't Jive on it, we'll tstarvo on it." Ho carried out his determination. In two years ho had $1000 in bank. With this ho began business for him self in a small way, capital was at tracted by his energy, and now ho ia at the head of one of the Iarge.it man ufacturing concerns in his section, j irh, prosperous and respected. Whnt this man did was nothing of supremo dillicultv. A strong, resolute will nnd a fixed purpose weto needed after hia determination became fixed. Why should not Hich an example Attract the nttention pf other wnge-wcrkers, equally ablo and of like mental qual ities? ls only tho beginning that costs; after that tho task of self elevation becomes easier with each day. Philadelphia Kecord. Country Girls, Think Twice: I'rom the Urovidence Journal. Before making tho plunge into city life, country girls should ask them selves what is really to ba gained by it. Perhaps in their quiet rural homes some stray advertisement has reached them, promising to young women high salaries for light work. Hundreds of advertisements aro framed for the very purpose of deceiving tho un wary. They accomplish their purpose, however, anil largo numbers of young girls rush up to tho city, dazzled by tho generous profusion of promises. A girl from tho farm answers ono of these advertisements. Life may have been slow at home, but there was al ways good food and plenty, nnd there wns some ono to rare for in tho old farm house. When sho goes to the bui city slw finds that tho "light work" consists in working nil day in a badly lighted and ill-smell-inn workshop, whero scores of other girls nnd women nro "employed at wanes hardly high enough to keep body and soul together. Wo know what often comes next. Tho girl has left home, sho is ashamed or unwilling to return, and sho must take the con sequences, ono of two things shamu or suiTering. Many a girl finds lirst in tho frivolities and next in tho iniquity of the streets that excitement by which regrets and remorse may be deadened. If sho is too strong in principle, too pure and elevated in totio thus to sink down to ono of tho pitiful women of tho streets, sho may find herself in some cold garret, lonely, overworked, despondent nnd miser able. Better remain at homo than risk tho failure which attend so many girls who go up to tho city in pursuit of high jay for light wot k. It is tho saddest of all ventures, forsaking a country homo for the illusions and deceptions of a largo town. ISxperienoo AVith n Cowboy. "Ainiee, tho vivacious actress, tells of tin experience sho had inLonworth, Tex., with a real cowboy," says tho New York Sun. "This fellow opened tho entertainment, by laughing very coarsely whenever tho actress spoke. Siio managed to got through tho ficeno and appealed to tho manager of tho theater for protection. The little-man said that as tho cowboy seemed to bo surrounded by admiring friends ho thought it would not bo wise to at tempt his removal. Bcsidcs.theToxan theatrical code forbade interference with tho nudionco after tho admission money had been paid. Ainieo is not easily abashed, and nho decided on her course. When sho went on again sho got as near tho rowdy as tho limits of tho stago would permit. He began his laughing, and his friends joined in. So did tho actress. Sho stood still, and, pointing an ex pressive finger at him, laimliod as though immensely amused. Tho row boy's face changed, and his lauuh stopped. Aimee's didn't. She held her sides, nnd laughed and laughed tit tho nmn. Ho grew red in tho face and looked uncomfortable. Still thoartress laughed, and by this tiniothejuidienco was roaring with her. All eyes turned on the unfortunatoToxan. 1 Io couldn't stand it. Abashed and thoroughly cowed, tho cowboy rushed for tho door followed by a great shout. and was not seen again that evening. Tho play then went on smoothly." The Pictured Rocks. The Pictured Hocks of West Virginia, says a Morgantowu (W. Va.) letter in tho Baltimore- Sun, on the Evansvillo pike, about four miles from this placo, havo been a source of wondor and speculation for moro than a century, and havo attracted much attention amongtholearncd men of this country and Europe. Tho clill upon which theso drawings exist is of considerable sizo and within a short distanco of tho highway above montioned. Tho rock is a whilo sandstone, which wears little from oxpostiro to tho weather, and upon Ua smooth surface are delineated thooutlines of tit least fifty species of animals, birds, reptiles and fish, embracing in tho number i i i i i i pantners, ueer uiumio, ociera, uoavors, .wildcats, foxe, wolvos, raccoons, opossums, boars, elks, crows, eagles, I turkeys, eels, various sorts of fish, largo and small, snakes, etc. In the midst of this silent menagerie of specimens of tho animal kingdom is tlie full length outlinoof a female form, beautiful and perfect in every respect. Interspersed among tho drawings of animals, etc., are imitations of tho lootpiints of each sort, tho wholo space occupied being l.r0 feet long by U0 feet wide. To what raco tho artist belonged, or what his purposo was in making theso rudo portraits, must over remain a mystery, but tho work was ovidently done ages ago. Jay Gould's Sensible Daughter. Miss Gould has lately boen given an ollowanco of 5,000 a year for her wardroho, but Inst year did not spend over two-thirds of that amount. Sho is very fond of pretty dresses, made in a simple, girlish fashion, and has fewer silk or satin gowns than one would suppose. In sunimershedress es in white most cf the lime, wearing linen and flannels in tho morning, mulls and embroidered dresses in tho aftor noon, and on special occasions white silk or lace. A dress mado entirely of Valenciennes hire over surah silk is the favorite, and although very simplo looking cost the neat sum of $5U0. A brown corduroy, trimmed with silvor-fo. fur, with a cap and muff to match, was her favorite walking-suit this winter, and on Sundays she wore a dark blue velvet, with beaver trim mings. She is fond of bronze shoes and always keeps four or ilvo pairs on hand, nnd always dresses her own hair, whi:h is long, dark mid naturally curly. New York Morning Journal. ' A CUP OF COFFEE. It Contains Morn T.lfe-Glvln Properties Than Any Other Stimulant. A dozen or moro gentlemen sot about a tablo at ono of tho great Now Y'ork restaurants recently, says tho New York Times, their faces betraying tho contentment nnd self-satisfaction induced by tho dinner, which had pass ed to tho conversational and loqua cious stage. Flames from a soft-coal fire threw ruddy gleams across the ta ble, which was littered with dishes and cups. Tho company was a nota ble one, comprising among others tho leader of a heroic party in an Arctic exploration, a white-haired veteran who had seen service in two conti nents, nnd a sprinkling of army and navy officers, great merchants, and rich nnd indolent loungers nbout town. Ono of the merchants 'was discoursing upon coffee. "I tell you," said ho, leaning bnck in his chnir, nnd balancing his spoon, upon the egg-shell edge of his cup, "tho old axiom that there is nothing liko leather, is a mistake. There is noth ing liko coffee. It has more life-giving qualities than anything else, and will last." "Ilight you aro," broko in tho arctic leader. "I know from my experience In tho coldest weather wo had there was no such revivifying stimulant as colTee. When tired and about frozen tho incn wouldn't touch alcohol, but their first ulTorts wero always to heat tho lamp and dole out tho cssenco of tho fragrant berry. Another thing peculiar about the coflco wo had was that it wns just ns good two years after wo sailed as it was tho first day out." A beatific smilo broko out on tho fnco of tho first speaker as ho said: That is so." At this stago tho old veteran awoko from his revery with an abrupt "What's that; colTee? Let mo tell you of some of my experiences in tho lirst days of tho rebellion, lhnd command of a brigado composed of regiments from all over tho north. Wo wero stationed right on the Potomac, and every ono but myself was down with tho old-fashioned ague tho kind that when a man sitting'on a fence has a chill tho fence for half a milo on cither sido tumbles down. I used to take a cup of hot cofTeo when I first awoko, and after thinking over tho matter I tried this with tho men of ono of tho rogiments. No matter what tho weather was, whenever they camo in from picket or other duty they had to gulp down hot codec, strong as blazes. Tho result? Well, after two weeks trial they nover had any more shakes. I would have tried the same regimen with tho others, but by this timo war in earnest en mo on, nnd such littlo episodes ns having tho shakes wero passed by without notice."

Tho pretty ronmnco of Miss Annie liOniso Cary's lifo did not end whero tho novelist usually leaves theheroino,, 'at the altar, but is still as fresh in her heart as it was on her wedding-day, and sho is as happy a wife ns can be found in tho land. Sho is living with her husband, Mr. Munson Bnymond, in handsomely-furnished apartments on Fifth avonuo, New York, where sho is surrounded by tho many raro and beautiful works of art collected by hoc while on her professional tours abroad' previous to her marriage. Always o favorite in society, she is as much sought after to-day as she was when her famo was world-wide. Miss Cary was soino years ngo betrothed to tho intimate friend of her husband, but whoso death abroad a short timo previous to their marriago left her alone, and it was whilo acting upon his triend's dying instructions to look after Miss Cary's interests that Mr. Raymond found himself in lovo w ith his charming chargo. Tho result of tho matter was a very quiet wedding ono beautiful summer morning at Portland, Me., when 'Miss Cary laid' aside hor laurels for a bridal wreath and Mr. Bnymond clnkitcd a good wife. It was a genuine lovo aflair, and, whilo tho public lost a singer whose placo has not sinco been filled,, her husband won a true woman. It is seldom a favorito of thopublicsteps so gracefully into domestic life, bub Miss Cary is a true American girl, who can grace nny position in which sho may find herself placed. She is very domestic in her tastes, and among her greatest pleasures aro tho frequent visits sho and her husband mako to tho quiet Now England home of hia parents nt Norwalk, Conn., whero ho has provided ovcry luxury nnd com fort for tho aged pair. Occasionally while thero Mrs. Ruymond is heard to sing in tho village- church or at tho family fireside, but sinco her marriage sho bus never sung in public. A Governor's Greatest Grief.
