AND CALLS UPON THEM TO VOTE. Some Good Stories Told by Lawyers The Negro's Reason for Stopping His Di vorce Case Other Good Stories. "And the king and Ilaman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed." They seem to be having a big time at' Washington, but' the pa tience of the people is about exhausted. Their respect for that august assembly known as the United States senate has changed into disgust. The argument has been exhausted. All that is worth saying has been said and the country demands a vote. IIow long, oh, ye Catalines, will ye abuse our patience? We want no more speeches.. We have ceased to read them. They only make confusion worse confounded. The peo ple feel very much like the drummers did in Texas last fall. They made it a rule on every train that if a drummer dared to say Hogg or Clark they would put him off. at the first station. They did put one off at Palestine, but learned afterwards that he was going to stop there anyhow. For pity's sake do let us have a rest vote and be done with it. We don't care much now how you vote, but do something and stop this everlasting fuss. Silver and gold and bimetallism and single standard and free coinage have been thrust into our eyes and our ears until a patriarch like me is afraid to open a newspaper or go to town. I read about two men run ning for life over another man and the Iolice arrested them and asked them What were they running for and they said the other fellow was just back from Chicago and wanted to tell them about the fair and they had heard it so often they couldn't stand any more of it. Just so I am ready to evacuate when a man begins with silver and gold to me. I had rather read about snakes or cyclones. " Dr. Parkhurst, the great preacher, is over in Switzerland climb ing the Matterhorn and the Weisshorn, and in a late letter says it is just glori ous to get away up 15,000 feet on Alpine heights where no daily news of Tam many or heresy or bimetallism can afflict you. I envy him and would go there, too, if I could. The other day I traveled with Judge Brown and Bill Glenn and General Phillips, from Marietta to Atlanta and not a single word of polities was mentioned. They are tired too. Judge Brown cut his wit keenly all around and put us in the cautious state. I didn't know that he could be so delight fully sarcastical. He got after Bill Glenn, but didn't make much 'off -him in the long run. He told many anecdotes about how Glenn used to worry him when he was .on the bench and how he always got even with him. Their talk reminded me that a few weeks ago I visited the ordinary's office to find but how many marriage licenses he had issxied to white f oiks and h w many to negroes in this county diir fng the year. I wished to coin pare the ratio according to population, and to my surprise I found that the ne groes got married about like the whites. "0 yes," said the ordinary, '"the negroes out-marry the whites some of them marry" two or three times a year. A negro will quit his wife in Atlanta and come up here and get another one and call for his license and get married, and stick until she quits him or he gets tired of her, and then he skips over to Rome or somewhere and tries it again. They are very fond of getting married." Colonel Stausell was silting by, and said in a very mournful tone of voice, '"that is so, major, I have a nigger's note in my office for twenty-five dollars that he gave me last fall to get him a divorce from his wife. She had quit him and 'tuck up' with another nigger, so I brought the suit, and just before the last court I learned that he had gone to Chattanooga. I wrote to him to be sure and come down to prove his cane, and he wrote me back very promptly, and said: 'Colonel StanscU, since I bin to Chattanooga I done found another 'oman what please me mighty well, and so about that divorce bisness you can jes drap it." I was. reminded of this when Judge Brown said, ''I . never saw my friend Glenn so completely demoralized as he was in his divorce case of Henry Brown a negro, against Susan Brown, his wife. The ground of divorce was desertion and other bad conduct, and Henry was put up as. a witness to prove it. The woman did not appear, nor was she represented, and Glenn seemed to have a very easy-going case. 1 le proved all that he wanted to by Henry, and told him to come down. Now, I always sympathise writh women, white or black, in divorce cases, for it is generally the ' man who is the rascal, ' and so I thought J would ask Henry a question or two at random. "Hold on a minute, Henry," said I, "where is yoiir wife now?" "She's at my house, jedge," said he. "What is she doing there ?" said I. - "She's cookin' and washin' and pickin' cotton, jedge." "Are you living together as man and wife," said L "Oh yes, jedge, in course we is. After she lef me, she come back and poligized, and what else could I do, jedge, but for give her ?" I looked at Glenn, and it seemed to me he had shrunk up some, and I said, "what do you say to this, brother Glenn?" He was badly demoralized. "What did I say?" said Glenn. "Tell what I said." Judge Brown didn't seem to remember exactly, and Glenn refreshed his memory. "I said that this was another illustration of how closely the Brown family always stuck together regardless of color or previous condition. That's what I said, and I repeat it now it is very remarkable." General Phillips and I listened with keen relish to their wit and anecdote. The judge told us how he got taken in not long ago in Atlanta. He said that a kinsman gave a dining and" invited him, but not expecting him to come. Mr. J. C. Bosweil, one of the best known and most respected citizens of Brownwood, Texas, suffered with diarrhoea: for a long time and tried many different, remedies without benefit, until Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy was used; that relieved ' him at once.

At my house, we generally dine about one o'clock, and so as I didn't want to be late; I called at 12:30 o'clock so as to give ample time for introductions, etc., but soon found that I was a little pre mature and rather lonesome. In course of time, I learned that dinner would not come off until 6 o'clock, and so I retired in good order,, and went back about 5 o'clock with a better appetite. I enjoyed the feast immensely, and the goodly company, and behaved myself as well as Canton country manners per mitted. The hours flew" so swiftly by that I was not aware of the time of the time, of night when I dispersed, and as I retired I told my kinsman that as it was a little late I would not stay ..to supper. It - was just midnight when I got to my lodging pkuie. Next morn ing I took the early train for Marietta, and on arrival, I told my landlady that I had had no supper and no breakfast and not very much sleep, and she won dered where I had been.

NOT A iy10N"Y-MAKING SCHEME. Ex-Senator Evarts Finds His Farm in Ver mont a Costly Toy. "It costs considerably more to run a farm than ' people imagine," remarked a man to a Boston Herald contributor a few days ago.' "A man may support a yacht, go off on long" crnises, enter tain liberally and gain the reputation of being a hail fellow well met; but oftentimes, it 'has been' asserted, the running of a farm is still more costly. - People as :a rule labor under the im pression that the' returns more than offset the outlay. They figure that the owner raises enough of vegetables and fruit to last him from year to year, arid the fact that he can eh joy home-made butter is something not to be disre garded in -summing up the profit and loss. ' Now that idea is entirely erro neous, which I think I can prove to your satisfaction." ,Then, settling him self in his seat, the speaker went on to tell of the agricultural experience of William M. Evarts, the famous New York lawyer, who has just celebrated his golden wedding on his farm.. He realized at one time, it has been said, an income of over 50,000 yearly from his practice. He was also the owner of the place at Windsor, Vt., on which a gang of men was constantly em ployed. On one occasion a lady, hear ing of Mr, Evarts large, income from his profession, exclaimed in the pres ence of the attorney's wife: "IIow rich they must bcT to which the latter re plied, in a qfuiet manner: "You forget, madam, that we own a farm." It is also related of the distinguished law yer that, while entertaining a number of friends at his home one evening, he produced several bottles of champagne and a quantity of milk. Turning to his guests he said, without a semblance of humor: "Gentlemen, here is some milk from my farm and here is some wine. You can take your choice, they both cost the same." DEAR FOOD NOT THE BEST. Illgh-Priced Market lroIncts Are Usually " j Not the Moot Nutritious. Prof. W. O. Atwater, writing in the September Forum, claims that the maxim "the best is the cheapest" does not apply to food. The best food in the sense of that which is sold at the highest price is rarely the most eco nomical for people of health. The food that is best fitted to the real wants of the user may be the very kind which supplies the most nutriment at the lowest cost. Round steak at 15 cents a pound contains as much protein and energy, is just as digestible and is fully as nutritive, as tenderloin at 50. Mackerel has as high nutritive value as salmon and costs from an eighth to half as much. Oysters are a delicacy. , If one can afford them there is no rea son for not having them, .but 25 cents invested in a pint would bring only twenty-nine .grams, about an ounce, of protein and 200 calories of energy. The same bo cents spent tor uour at 50 a barrel, or 3 cents a pound, would pay for 420 grams of protein and 13,700 cal ones oi energy. v iien a day laborer buys bread at 74 cents a pound, the actually nutritive material costs him three times as much as it does his em ployer who buys it in flour at ?0 a bar- Teh; - - Cleaning Silverware.

Gain Their Point. September 19. Mr. Stewart offered ameudments to the Wilson-Voorhees silver bill and they were ordered printed inviting Mexico, the South and Central American republics, Hayti and San Domingo to join the United States in a conference to be held with in four months, for the purpose of adopting a common silver dollar of not more than 283.13 grains, which shall be a legal tender for all debts public and private. : He gave notice that, at the earliest convenient opportunity, he would address the senate on the amendments. At 12:15 o'clock, on mo tion of Mr. Harrison, the senate went into executive session, for but a few minutes, and then Mr. Peffer called up his resolution offered Saturday last, directing the committee on interstate commerce to investigate the recent train robberies. Mr. Hale reported that there was no senator who desired to address the body on the silver question. He, therefore, suggested that the senator from Kansas be allowed to speak on his resolution. This consent was given and Mr. Peffer took the floor in advocacy of his resolution. Several other senators' had something to say concerning the resolution, and the de bate became general. Messrs. Dolph, Vest and Hawley objected to it upon constitutional grounds, and upheld state rights in dealing with crimes of the character described in resolu tion. . - The resolution was not disposed of at ltSOo'clock, at which hour the sen ate, in accordance with a special order, headed by the vice president and the officers of the body, left the chamber in order to attend the ceremonies in- cident to the celebration of the cen tennial anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of the capital. Septembeh 20. In the senate, Mr. Squire. ...republican, - of Washington gave notice of a substitute which he intended to offer for the bill to repeal the silver purchase act, and it was lead in fulL It provides that the own- ers of silver any mint to silver of the bullion may deposit it at be turned into standard present weight and fine benefit. He is to be paid ness, for his however, only such dard silver dollars a number of stan as may equal the commercial value of the silver bullion.' The difference between the nominal and coined value of the silver bullion is to be retained by the government as seigniorage. The coinage of silver dol lars is not to exceed $4,000,000 a month, and the total not to exceed $200,000, 1)00. Thev are to be full legal tender and no silver certificates are to be is sued, j A resolution to pay Mr. Ueckwith 82,000 for his time and expense in prosecuting his claim for a seat in the1 senate under appointment from the governor of Wyoming was taken from the calendar and agreed to. : Also like resolutions to pay Mr. Man tle from Montana and Mr. Allen, of the state of Washington, $2,500 each. M r. Voorhees made a sensational de nunciation of the New York bankers and press for questioning his motives; regarding the repeal bill, and impera tively demanded of the minority sena tors to name a day for coining to a vote. Mr. Duboise opposed any at tempt at this time to fix a day. September 21. In presenting a peti tion for the unconditional repeal o the silver purchasing act today Mr. Morgan said that it was one of those petitions emanating from New York capitalists, and that he regarded it as a mandate from them, not from the people1 of Alabama. After some twenty minutes ispent in the routine morning business Mr. Voorhees moved ro proceed to the consideration of the bill to repeal the silver purchasing act. Mr. Piatt rose at the same moment h to make a statement. Mr. -Voorhees was impatient at the interruption, but yielded, and Mr. Piatt explained that as Senator George, of Mississippi, desired to speak upon the repeal bill he would not today in troduce that amendment to the rules relating' to the closure of debate, oi which he gave notice yesterday. He would do so, however, at some future date. Mr. George then addressed the sen ate in opposition to the" repeal bill. As he happened to differ, he said, from the democratic administration on that very important question, and as he believed that a large majority of his constituents concurred in the position which he took, he believed it to be his duty to state, with some precision, the. views which led him to refuse his sup port to the bill now before the senate. The passage of that bill, he thought, would be a leap in the dark, as likely to increase as to diminish the aggre gate of the evils from which the coun try was suffering. He was convinced that the present disasters were nbt at tributable in any manner to the Sher man act. In the house the republicans were finally defeated in their filibustering tactics, by an agreement arrived at by the democrats in caucus. The report of the committee on rules was agreed toyeas 1TG, nays 9, and the speaker proceeded to call the committees for reports. " - Mr. Tucker reported the federal elec tion bill and it was placed on the house calendar, arid then the house at 5:45 o'clock adjourned. September 22 The fight over the federal election bill was inaugurated in the house this morning by a request from the committee on rules, pro viding a cloture by which a vote shall be taken on that measure on October 10th. no After a short passage between Mr. Reed and the speaker (relative to the journal, the approval of the latter was deferred, and Mr. Catchings pre sented the report of the rules commit tee, providing for taking up the elec tions law repeal bill on September 2ft and a final vote on October 10. The yeas and nays were called on ordering the previous question, and it was ordered, 175 to 4. In the senate Mr. Piatt offered his cloture rule. Discussion was closed by letting the matter go over until tomyor row, when Mr. Teller is to speak against it. Mr. Piatt was complimented by Mr. Voorhees for his clear and lucid state ment of the situation. , Substitutes for the resolution wer suggested by Mr. Hoar and Mr. Hill. A strong argument in favor of the cloture rule was made by Mr. Lodge, although he recognized the fact that adoption of the rule would be made use of to pass measures which he con sidered worse than the Sherman act that is, a new tariff bill and a bill to repeal the election laws. September 23. The consideration of the committee on accounts assigning clerks to committees was resumed by the house, the pending question being a motion to lay upon the table a mo .tiou made by Mr. Crane, of 'Texas, to reconsider the the vote by which the house yesterday agreed to the Paynter substitute depriving certain smaller committees of their clerks. The me tion to reconsider was tabled yeas, 142: nays, 57. - The vote then recurred on the report the committee on accounts, and, as amended, it was agreed to. Then came a report from the com cit tee on accounts assigning an addi tional clerk to the committee on naval affairs. The vote on the report re sulted: Yeas, 102; nays 70 no quorum -and the house, at 2:20 journed. o'clock! ad- Mr. Allen, of Kansas, -introduced a bill for the coinage of silver money, and it was at his request laid On the table for the present. It provides that the unit of value shall be the dollar of 412 grains of silver or 25 -10 grains of gold, and suchh dollars shall be a legal tender for all debts public and private.

Woodruff, a flagman, was killed by his own train last night at Melrose, a station on the Asheville & Spartan burg railroad. The flagman was sent to the rear while the train was shift ing, and after going back far 'enough, as he thought, to be out of danger from his own train and to warn the north bound train, he sat down with his lan terns, with his feet across the rail, and soon fell asleep. His train backed down the track, and as he was on the opposite side from the engineer, he could not be seen. The wheels of four car passed over his body, cutting off both legs. Everything possible was done for the suffering man, - but he only lived four hours after the accident, and was conscious much of the time.
