Th,e minister had reached that place where he turned to the bride elect and said: "You taje this man as .your lawful husband?" She answered "No, sir, I do not. You are the first one who has asked my opinion in the matter. Mr. Thayer has been courting my mother for more than a year. I thought it was herself he vanted, but it appears that he only 'vanted her consent to marry me, and she concluded to compel me to wed um. - The minister then said: "This ends it.

THE VEEK IN CONGRESS Democrats Assume the Aggressive in the Pending Tariff Matter. HOAR OPEXS l?P THE WEEK'S DEBATE. Appropriation Bills.'. Continue to Engage the Attention of the House Naval, Agricultural and Indian Bills in Slffht f or the Week. Washington, May 7. Immediately after the routine morning business to day, probably as early as 11:30" o'clock, the senate will go into executive ses- ; sion to discuss the Chinese treaty. The finance committee will meet Tuesday " morning1 and after giving formal con- I sideration to the tariff amendments, will report them back favorably. ' The course of debate after Tuesday is somewhat problematical. Tuesday ' Mr. lloor, of Massachusetts, will speak on the pending tariff bill, and it is not ' unlikely that Mr. Aldricii will address the senate on the revenue features of the measure. Last week the elans 1 I fixing the date when the "bill-shall take ' effect was passed over, ayd when Sat- j urday came the discussion was os- tensibly over the second senate com- ' mittee amendment found in lines 0 and ! 7 of the opening paragraph, which adds j to the house provision that there shall Iks "collected oil all articles imported! from foreign countries the words, "Or XI I the withdrawn from consumption," rates'of duty, etc. Much of the debate of the week fol losving the introduction of the amend ments will be of an impromptu charac ter concerning the changes made, and it will doubtless be the policy of the minority to draw out their opponents by caustic questions and then embroil them in colloquies as to why and how the numerous amendments came to be made. Mr. Harris, if the remarks he has dropped are correctly interpreted, will insist upon longer sessions, and if this course is pur&uedv republicans will uieet it with such means as happen to come to hand. They will debate the bills at present until 5 o'clock, but after that hour will protest against the further discussion of the measure for the day. It is not among the impossible conditions, that if Mr. Harris becomes persistent m his desire for an immediate prolongation of de bate, a mild system of filibustering may be inaugurated by the minority. The week will, no doubt, force to the front the line of policy to be pursued by both sides, for the democrats, confident of their ability now to ultimately pass the bill, will assume the aggressive from this time on. Appropriation bills will continue to enga.e the attention of the house until the calendar has been cleared of meas ures of that character. There are the naval, agricultural and Indian bills in sight for this week, and the, legis lative, and judicial and general defi ciency yet in store with the committ e on appropriations tu be reported. The first of- the two last named bills will be placed on the calendar possibly iha first of next week, but the deficiency bill is not expected before the end of the month. . TARIFF'S FINAL DRAFT. The Compromise liiil Just Completed by , Senator Jones, Vest and Gorman. Wasuixgtok, May 7. Whether the democrats have really coma together and agreed to stand by the reconstruc timbill is doubted in some well-informed quarters. It has been no Ltght Lask that Messrs. Jones, Vest and Gor man have undertaken. All day Satur day they bent their energies to the work of preparing the final draft of the compromise bill, assisted by treas ury experts, and Sunday broxight for them no day of rest. The revision, tommittee met at 10 o'clock at the cap itol with an industrious contingent in the annex, and it was only well on to w rds evening that a conclusion was said to have been reached, and the re vised draft of the concession amend ments was ready to be sent to the printing office. With this print of the proposed amendments all concessions end, and the "committee is prepared to stand or fall by the bill thus amended. According to common report, these changes are very numerous, and in j some cases al must the entire schedule has been reconstructed. Especial ly is this said to be true of chemical sched ule and iron schedule. .

Raw wool, will, of course, remain on the free list.. A leading member of ttaw committee, when asked if there was any possibility of raw wool being switched from the free list, replied with characteristic candor: "Not a bit ! 0f it; we have been held up right and left but wool still remains free. Were- we to sacrifice that, pray tell me what wonld be left of our platform?" The extremely suggestive secrecy which has accompanied all the impor - tant ehanaes made by the Senate com- mittee, on the tariff bill is stillkeptup. Outside of three or four senators en- rrao-ed in formulating the amendments, it is doubtful if anyt one will know what they are until they are reported to the senate. It is probable that these amendments will be made public soon. If so they will 1 e reported to the senate by Mr. Jones, of Ark., and referred to the fii- "nance committee. Anothrr tieorcla Dai!'.

Mrs. Leary and Companion Left It at the Asylum and Went North. - Henderson correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says : "It now turns out that the baby left at the Orphan Asylum at Oxford about a week ago was left by a Mrs. Leary. Mrs. Leary, as she called herself, had been boarding at Littleton for about three, months. She kept rather quiet and led a retired life. At first she said that she was from Wilming ton, N. C, and insisted that she. was a Southern woman. She said that her husband was a naval officer and was off on a cruise. She had money in abundance, and fixed up a lot of nice clothes for the baby. On Sat urday night (21st inst.) the Atlanta special had orders to stop at Little ton, which is only a flag station for this train. She took this train, say ing that she was going to Atlanta. A gentleman met her and with him she got off at Henderson and took- a carriage for Oxford, and after de positing the baby at the asylum came back and took the fast" train North next morning at 7:30. The couple bought no tickets here, but are said to have gone via the train as far north as Richmond. The baby is in Oxford and doing nicely, having been adopted by Mr. and Mrs. 7- S. Hall, who are said to be fine people. It is a boy infant, nice looking, and is now about five weeks old." Oxford Ledger. Distribution of Soy (Soja) Beans. The N. C. Agricultural Experi ment station at Raleigh, desiring to extend the cultivation of Soy Beans, proposes to distribute a quantity of seed to careful planters desiring to test their merits. The only condition is that the applicant send 10 cents in postage stamps to pay cost of trans portation by mail. Enough seed will be sent to each applicant to plant 1-10 acre. The first 400 applications will be sent in the order received. The Station regards this as a very valuable forage plant. It is of up right growth 2 to 3 feet high and is a legumine capable of adding nitrogen from the air to the soil in which it grows, it is piantea in mils or drills 2 to 34 feet apart according to richness of soil, and 15 to 24 inches apart in the row. It can be planted any time from March to July, either alone or in the corn row between the corn, and 2 to 4 beans are usually planted in each hill. Soil suitable to it and the general preparation is the same as for coral When planted for corn both crops can be- ensilaged to gether, and the corn ensilage will be much improved by the combination, or the plants when planted alone can be cut for forage before they get too woody. The seed are found in small pods and can be saved by cutting the whole plant when leaves and pods have turned a golden hue. . They can easily be beaten out when dry. If cutting is delayed beyond this time the pods will open and some will be lost on. the ground. It will not pay to pick the beans. . It is also a good table bean, but requires a long -time to cook. The Station urges a care ful trial ol this crop. Electric It liters. This remedy is becoming so well known and so popular as to need no special mention.

Druggists tell It The Duty of Oomocrats. It ill becomes a Democrat to lay aside his convictions because he doesn't agree with the administration and go about echoing Republican and Populism abuse of Mr. Cleve land and the party. Such conduct is ill advised and only makes bad matters worse. It may be will enough for Demo crats to criticise the President for his un-Democratic action in vetoing the seigniorage silver bill passed by the party in Congress; but he should not be censured because he has not removed in a few months the effects . of a Republican panic that it took: the most abandoned radicalism four years to breed. It is well enough, for Democrats to criticise Mr. Hill in no -uncertain terms, for his traitorous attitude to ward the tariff bill which has been put forward' by his party ; but it should not be forgotten that he is by Kno means the Democratic party, and he alone is personally responsible for his action in this matter. Back of Mr. Cleveland and. Hill, who are only individuals, stands the great Democratic party, true as ever to the vital principle which animates it, and ever ready to fulfill its pledges. The reforms to which it is pledged, and for which it is now struggling, may be delayed, but they will be accomplished facts and that, too, through the Democratic party. It is the duty of Democrats, while criticising him who proves traitor to the party, to stand by its principles and refuse aid or comfort to all that is not Democratic. Republicanism and Populism are as much opposed to the true spirit of reform to-day as they ever were. North Carolinian. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, ) .

One of the curiosities at the propa gating gardens is a plant of the ar row root family, each leaf of which has a picture of a growing branch on it with leaves, painted by nature to perfection. Young palms are grown from seed in one of the green houses. In early youth they look remarkably like ordinary grass. Mr. Brown, just for fun, keeps a few sensitive plants. It is wonderful to see them J shrink and fold their leaves if one docs but touch the pot containing them. No body has ever been able to find out why they do this, un- lless it be supposed that this kind of vegetable actually posseses some sort of nervous system. Washington Star. A Mint Mystery. According to a late report of the Director of the Mint, 19,570 silver, dollars with the date 1804 were coined during that year. To-day less than a dozen of them are known to be in existence and each is worth a small fortune. There were 1 50,000 half dollars coined in the same year; at present but one is known. -What ever became of the silver coinage of that year is one of the unsolved Governmental mysteries. Thirty-two years later there were only 1000 of the 1856 dollar pieces coined. Yet any one who has $5 to in vest can get onef them for a pock et piece. A cool $1000 would not buy an 1804.
