Washington, D. 0., March 10.The senate has devoted the past weefe'to the consideration of the ship, subsidy bill, and the bill for the defense of the president. . The former, of these .Is .the regular "order of business," and a vote will be taken on the 17th inst. The discussion so far has been characterized by an able presentation of the merits of the measure by Senator,Fr.ve ancl a speech by Senator llanna. - aenacor Clay, of Georgia, opposed the bill in! a speech which lastea ionr nours Seh- ator-Bacon has also argued against tbet bUl for the defense of the president, drummer that the measure is an exteti smn of the law resrardine: treason and therefore outside the province of cofif gress.

The vote will take place today., m m - " - GREATEST OF ORGANS. Description - of Iustrnment In Mor mon Tabernacle.' It was in 1863 that President Young first spoke of building a big orgau,ono that Would be in harmony with the mammoth tabernacle. Great difficulties were encountered in the building of the Instrument, . particularly in securing suitable wood for the - gigantic pipes with which it was equipped. Some of these pipes took as much as 800 feet of lumber.' The 'mountains far and near were fairly scoured for the proper kind of pine, hundreds of loads ;ofvvhich were - hauled by teams from a ' point nearly 300 "miles south of Salt Lake. It required ; two months ; to make a round trip, t It.-will thus be seen that work was ; very slow. , The workmen rwere '. ,a LI : pion eer settler skJ.bd.jnati3od of uniting the wood ; was unique, the clo sest j oihing being done by means' of homemade' glue, the making of which Consumed ' hundreds of ' cattle hides, while numberless .calfskins were used in makingf the' bellows. Altogether ten years were; consumed in the building. Since the time that it was first given to , tno pu&uc tnere; nave Deen numerous additions and changes, until today it is recognized as one of the very best or igans in the world, if, indeed,' not the best and the grandest. . . . N It is now nearly a year ago since the first presidency, of the church decided to make the latest improvements in' the organ. A great many of the old-pipes, .were; taken out and - thoroughly" over hauled, and more than 4,000 new ones were added. The instrument's adidn is marvelous and more responsive than a grand piano, as it has no "inertia to overcome. The repeating power of each key is .726 . times to the minute. All ' of the latest mechanical devices have been incorporated in the instru ment, and any combination of tone de sired can be distinctly, brought out. Especially fine are the "string" : tones, the violin, viola gamba, cello and bass; the clarinet, two oboes, bassboif, eight varieties of flute "tones (each one true to its name), four piccolo stops four, trumpets,- tubo trombone, saxaphone, clarion and the vox : bumana, . which is'the pet of the organ" and makes "hu man" tones that deceive even the train ed musician. In all, the organ contains 108 stops and accessories five complete organs viz,"splo, swell, great, choir and pedal. The- speaking length of ; the pipes .va ries from a quarter of an inch to thirty-two eet. In "full organ" passages the immense bellows displace, 5,000 cu bic feet of "air ; per - minute.Deseret News. ' " : ' Cnfl Links With a Hlitory. - ' One of the few l-elics of .Washington In the possession of an Individual is a .pair of old, gold sleeve" links belonging to General James Grant Wllsori.5. Their history, as recounted in the. New York Times, "General Wilson" told not long ago before the New York Historical so ciety The story is both new and true. ' After the battle of Saratoga Wash ington desired to express his apprecia tion i of Arnold's bravery for Arnold, not .Gates, was the real heroof that battle and he sent 46 Arnold a letter expressing his feeling and- with it his gold; cuff links, saying: "I. learn that you, lost yours in the battle., Pray ac cept mine as a little token of my ap preciation." V" " ; Arnold wore the sleeve links until his treason, when, evidently 'not rel ishing the memories they called, forth, he presented them to Colonel Tarleton, one of the few British officers who showed . him any sincere kindness. Colonel Tarleton had "on his, staff an American loyalist, ;who wag an excel lent officer and a most amiable gentle man and was made by Tarleton his military secretary.' This was :Israel Halleck, father .bf 'Fitz-Greene Hal leck, the well known poet of earlier Kew-York 'days. Israel -Halleck left the historical! Washington links to his son, who . just before his death in 1867 gave them to a young man to whom h6 had Intrusted1 his" manuscripts and other material fori his biography, and here they are. The Pasnn. ; Peter was dying, and he had been a friend of mine as long as I could res member. He had gone to work under: ground at the age of ,3even. He hadj never been properly fea? Every day he' had come sweating to the surface after! a climb of 200 fathoms, had changed; and walked a couple of miles to his: clean cheerless cottage. Now he waal fifty-five, and he looked seventy, .and heart and lungs had given out. He knew that he was near the end and still kept his pbilosophy. He was as honest a man as ever lived, and it had often seemed strange that he was al-f most the only man in that village of Methodists who had no religion. He lay dying and was content except for the fact that he cculd no longer enjoy Tobacco. One day I sat liy his bed when the doctor came. He was a shy man and a very earnest Christian, and he was fond of Peter. I knew that he had something he was desperately anx ious to say. and I was on the point of taking my leave when he spoke, drop ping, as one did with Peter, into the old caressing dialect: "Where do 'ee think you'm goin' to. Peter, when you do die?" Peter looked up at him with the kindliest of smiles. "Dunnaw, doctor; but I never", knew a horse yet that couldn't get a bit o grass somewhere." Academy. Meaning of "Sophomore," Says a literary man: "I used to think' that the word 'sophomore' was made up of the Greek word signifying wise and the English word 'more.' The word j was thus applicable, I thought, to the second class in a college because they were 'more wise' than their fel lows in their own estimation. But it seems that the word has a purer gener alogy and a meaning even less flatter ing to the class of collegians to whom it is applied.' It was first used at the University of Cambridge, England, and in its infancy appeared In the form soph-mor.' It was composed of the word 'soph,' a contraction for 'sophis-Bi-.llind a Greek word meaning ; fool ish (moros). -"The college course extended over three years and one term. The respec tive classes of students were termed freshmen or first " year men. Junior sophs or soph-mors, senior sophs and questioneis. This ' nomenclature was transferred to .the American higher In stitutions of learning, and in the form freshmen, juniors and seniors, still ex ists'' ' - , Civilization In Africa. , When Livingston died a few years ago says .The, Nortnwestern Christian dypcate, there was not a civilized town in central. Africa. Now Living- ;Stonia is to be lighted by electricity. The cost of the machinery and its transportation to the mission was about $20,000. The only source of -illumination for 'the home or the school or the church has been hitherto kerosene, ob tained at a cost,by the time it reaches Lake Nyassa, of $1.50 a gallon. Steam power being out of the question on ac count of the,, scarcity of fuel, it was suggested that- the falls of the river Manchewe, near to the t mission, be used for the production of light and the dri ving of machinery. The machin ery is on Its way and was to be set up this month. The natural waterfall will thus thrash wheat, grind the flour and bolt it in the mill by day and at night give light to the people In their homes: The civilizing, influence oyer the natives of this electrical power is beyond calculation. ; ; .. The Pope's , Will. . Pope Leo XIII. will leave his person al fortune to his five nephews on con dition that they shall never make the slightest claim upon the Italian gov ernment. The reason for this peculiar provision lies in the "fact that theoret ically the government pays the pope an annual stipend of 3,000,000 lire, 'or $000,000. ; But the pope has always re fused to aecept the stipend. On the death of Pius IX., however, his 'neph ews -claimed the "back pay" which their uncle had refused to touch. The claim, of . course, was not allowed, but the affair injured the prestige of the Vatican,; and Pope Leo is determined to prevent a repetition of the scandal. - .. ' "The Dlrtf Doen." The town of Grot'on, Vt., is terror ized . by hoodlums. A secret organiza tion has been formed, known as ' The Dirty Dozen, " whose sole purpose is to perpetrate unlawful and shameful deeds.
