The stroke of the midnight bell had scarcely died last night, says the New York Morning Journal, when there was a commotion inside of a long, deep chest that stood just mside the wolves’ cago in the Madison Square Garden. Hardly any was about, save the night watch- man and Superintendent George Conk- lin, who has chargo of the animals and never seems to sleep. The chest spoken of was heavy and resting on a support that was not strong enough to bear the weight. A prelim- inary cracking gave warning that the foundation was giving way, but there were no ears in reach to heed. A moment _or two later the supports gave way and the chest toppled over on its side, the 1id flying open and remain- ing so. Whdt seemed lhike a yellow flagh followed the opening of the lid, and a sinuous body waved and darted, with open mouth at fancied enemies. 1t was the biggest snake in the collection of Mille. Juneta, the snake charmer, that had thus escaped from his quarters. Seeing that no enemies were torment- ing him and recovering his lost temper, he dragged himself lazily from the box. ‘With the dim light of a’ flickering gas t Flintinfl on his shiny back,the snake made his way townrd the wolf’s d Embracing one of the wheels he grad- ually made his way upward, and was st dragging his tail across the iron hars to the top of the wagon, whon one of the wolves spied it. With a snarl he he leaped for the barsand took a firm grip on the snake with his teeth. In an instant the scene changed from quiet to pandemonium, the other wolves howling and dashing themselves against the bars in a fury of rage, while the huge body of the snake waved and twisted like a willow wand in the hands of a drum major. Its body was uscless below where the wolf had gripped it, but quickly looping itself around the iron brake-road, it managed to get a coil around the wolf’s neck. By this time, which was not more than three seconds from the time the first noise was heard, Mr. Conklin was running toward the scene of the accident. A glance at the overturned box and the sight before him was all that was necessury, “Bring the ether!” he yelled toan assistant, who quickly obeyed. The wolf's eyes were protruding from his head and the bones could almost be haeard to crack as the snake exerted its great strength. The snake’s ey i tored and its jaws moved nerv from the pain the wolf was inflicting, but both were nearly motionless. A sponge saturated with eother was applied on the end of a pole to the nos- trils of each combatant, and ina few seconds the snalke fell inan inert heap on the floor, just as the wolf released his grasp, roeling from side to side. The snake’s wound, which was serious, was hurriedly dressed by Mr. Conklin and the reptile was hustled into his box before he recovered. Mr. Conklin then entered the wolf cage and revived the other fighter with ammonia and found him wealk, but un- hurt, with the exception of a laceration of his nose, where it had been crushed against the iron bars. Then peace again settled over the garden. e gl Dot Early Broilers. Broilers should now be ready for mar- ket, says the American Poultry Journal, The early sellers catch the price. Everything depends upon due care and feeding of the chicks. For the first twenty-four hours from the shell they need no nourishment. Nature supplied them in the egg. When able to run about in the brooder—and the early broiler is an incubator chick, of course— an egg diet is best. Mash hard-boiled yolks and mix with several times their ulk of bread and crumbs moistened in sweet milk. After the first week, add oatmeal or cornmeal occasionally. At the end of vwo weeks omit the eggs gradually from the diet. Let the meal be swollen or cooked. Twice a week season the mush with a little red pep- per, and put in some finely chopped onions to prevent gapes. As the chicks becomo larger, small grains—oats, mil- lot, wheat screenings and broken corn—may be given. There should be green food for the larger chicks. Lettuce sced sown carly and allowed 10 grow to an inch of leaf is an excellent forage for them. If they do not eat it, chon it fine and mix it with the other food. A pan of calcined bone in one of the runs is a good preventive of acidity. The eighth or ninth week should be given to fattening the birds. They must then be confined in close quarters. Ieed spavingty at fivst, and then give all they will pick up three times a day. The starchy and saccha- rine vegetables—potatoes and bee form an_important item then. Above all, be cleanly in every particular. —~— Farm Notes. It improves bran o scald it before feeding it to stock. March winds do more harm to stock than the cold of January.

He Thinks the Espendituros of the Goverament ' With Judicions Pur- chases af Bonds Will Take Gare of It. An Extea Spssion—When? Senator William B. Allison contri- butes the following discussion of the extra session question to the Apvil number of the North American Re- view: An extra session of congress in the beginning of a new administration is not desirable in the public interest, un- less a great necessity for it appears. The chief reason now urged for an ex- tra session of congress lies in the fact that we have a large revenue coming into the treasury monthly, and each month considerably in excess of the payments authorized by existing appro- priations. Is this surplus such as would justify an admivistration in calling an extra session of congress at the begin- ning of a term, when pressing admin- istrative affairs must be considered. It is weoll known that the appropria- tions for the current fiscal year weore very large, and the appropriations for the fiscal year beginning on the first of July next are also large. If these are ex- pended—and it is reasoneble to suppose that most of them will be, with proba- ble deficiencies in pensions, at least— the apprehended surplus, as- shown by various treasury reports, and by public statements made from time to time in both houses of congress, will be very much diminished. The appropriations for the current fiscal year are, in round numbers, say, only $20,000,000 less than the estimated revenues for the present fiscal year, and it is not probable that the actual revenues will exceed the es- timated revenues. The appropriations made by the session of congress just closed are, in rounda numbers, $25,000,000 less than the appropriations for the cur- rent year; so that it may be stated that on the Ist day of July, 1890, the excess of revenues over the ex- penditures for the next fiscal . year will be, in round numbers, $45,000,000t or against $28,000,000 for the curren, fiscal year. It1s not probable that the revenues for the next fiscal year will be in excess of the Bs&imutes, Now, of this$45.000,000 surplus, nearly one-half will have accumulated by Jan- uary 1, 1890, so that the problem for the secretary of the treasury to solve,in case congress should not be called in extra session, will be how he can dis- pose of this $23,000,000 of excess. It can easily be done either by the pur- chase of four-and-a-halfs, in anticipa- tion of their early maturity in 1891, or Dby the purchase’ of fours, maturing in 1907; so that it may be stated that, so far as the current revenues are con- cerned, from thistime up to and includ- the fiscal year 1889-90, it will not be flicult thing to purchase bonds cov- aring this entire surplus. The existing surplus, been accumulating for now lying im the treasury or i the national * banks, would not be affected by regislation, whether now or at any future time, as any re-ad- justment of taxation must take place with reference to current revenues and current expenditures, without consider- ing these accumulations. So,in any event, the overlapping surplus of prior years should be, and doubtless will be, used in the purchase of bonds, as there are no pressing extraordinary expendi- tures provided for (or likely to be) thay would absorb it. If an extra session should be called in the near future, it would be impossible to mature and perfect o tariff measure during such extra sossion, and the only thing possible would be, by a joint reso- lution, to repeul, fon example, the to- bacco tax,which would relieve tho treas- ury of, say, $3.000,000 per annum. This however, could only be done with the consent of both political parties, as any revenue measure introduced into the house would be subject, under its rules, to amendment without limitation; and when such measure would reach the senate, it would, in that body, also be subject to amendment without limita- tion. Hence a small portion of either house, in either party, could, if they were disposed, compel a full considera- tion of the whole question of the tariff and internal revenue; and it is not probable that the house, being so nearly divided, and the republican party nosw having only a small majority, could pass arevenue measure at an extra session without a prolonged debate uYon the general question, and without the free exeroise of the power of amendment. In this view, it would seem to be wiser and better that the extra session of congress should be postponed until the middle or last of October,when congress could convene and remain in continuous session and take up seriously and earnestly the whole question of the reduction of taxation by means of a re- duction of internal revenue and a revi- sion of the tariff, An extra session in October would give time for the organization of the house and the committees of the house, and thus put in course of early prepara- tion these vevenue measures, which could be considered and completed, un- der these conditions, lfi; April of next year. It seems very doultful whether any progress could{Hg: made by calling an extra session during the present spring, and taking the rigk of a long gession during the summer, without any otical result, This debate may be ;n ly anticipated from the fuct that,not- withstanding the general verdict of the people at the last election, the demo- cratic party still adheres with firmness to its original oclamation that the tariff should be revised upon a revenue bas and not upon the idea that American industries shall be cared for in the preparation and revision of the schedules. “The business interests need not be alarmed ntgthis postponement, as'it may be taken for grauted that the policy of Prosident Harvison will be, not to hoard mond¥ jn the treasury, but to utilize the surpldd as far as iv can be utilized, in the pure iase of the inter- est-bearing debt of the United States, first for tho bonds preseatly maturing, and, secondly, for the bonds duc in 1907; so that the situation, as respgets our revenue and the money in the treasury. under this policy, will not be materially ehanged, whether congress is convened in the early spring or late autumn. A whieh has some years, jcal examination of the appro- priations for the current fiscal year and the next year wili disclose the fact that there is no probability of any future re- duction of the appropriations for the various purposes indicated, For exam- ple, the appropriations for the current cear for pensions were, in round num- ors, $51,000,000; but just betore the ad- journment of the last session a defici- ency of 83,000,000 was asked aud appro- priated for pensions. The appropria- tions for the noxt fiscal year for the like purpose were $51,000,000. is not im- probable that the deficiency for the next year will bein excess of the $5,000,- 000 appropriated for this year. The ap- propriations for the postoffice de- partment, owing to tho rapid growth and devolopment of our country, are constantly incroas- ing, and for the years that are to follow they will probably be in excess of the appropriations for this year and the next fiseal yoar. The appropriations of this year for the navy ore $19,000,000; for the next year, $21,000,000; but itis quite probable that a deficiency in the naval appro- priations for the next year will bo re- quired to complete the naval vessels al- ready under contract, and it is certain that the policy of the republican party will be to increase considerably the ap- propriations for the navy next year, in order that wo may have, at as car date as possible, an offective navy. it is probable that the appropriations for fortifications, ete., will be considerably increased next ar. Therefore it may be snid that our national expenditires in the future are likely to increase year by year rather than to diminish. It is certain that next year a river and har bor bill of considerable magnitude must be passed, boeause during this _year no river and harbor bill passed. TIlad tho bill passed both houses as reported by the committee on rivers and harbors in the house of representatives, the sur- plus for the next fiscal year would have been reduced by $10,000,000 at least, I;{x;l,nging it down to less than $40,000,- 0. These large sums which I have in- dicated constitute the great items where deficiencies may be expected in- creased appropriations required in tho future, It is probable that the smaller items included in these general appro- priation bills may also be increased to the extent of 82,000,000 or $3.000,000. The contest in the two houses on the reduction of revenues and the revision of the tariff in the Fifty-first congress will be, as it was in the Fiftieth, a con- test, on the one hand, for the reduction of revenues, and, with that reduction, a scaling-down of the tariff to a revenue basis, and, on the other, a reduction by such changes and modifications of the tariff as will reduce the reve- nues and, at tho same time, defend and protect our own industries as against the sharp competition ofsimi- lar industries in other countries. Under the constitution, of course, any tariff bill or revenue bill mustoriginate in the house of representatives, and, whilst it may not be possible to_prediet with exactness the line that will be pur- sued by the republican majority in that body. it mayDbe fairly inferred that, in a general way, with probable modifica- tion of detail, the house of representa- tives will follow the plan and method of, as also the principle invoived in, the senate bill which passed the senate dur- ing the last session of the Fifticth con- gress. oty In Town and Hamlet The seeds of intermittent and bilious remit tenc fever germinate and bear evil fruit.

Does any one doubt the existence of spirits, or think with the death of the body existonce is at an end, and that the good and the evil alike rot together, and are no more? Here is o truthful story for such a skeptic, which he is welcome to sift to the bottom, says a Now York correspon= dent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. . The person to whom the experience befel is a distant relative of the writer, a woman of undoubted veracity, of more than ordinary intelligence, and of high character, I give the story as nearly in her own words as possible, *It was,” says she in tolling it, “in the latter part of last year that my ex- perience occured. 1 had of conrse, heard the usual number of ghost stories. But I was an unbeliever previously to the eyents which I am about to relate. On November 3, 1888, T married Mr. S., who, as you know, is my second husband. For about six woeks we lived in our New York house, on Thirty-fifth street. But the house my husband had alw considered his home is situated at Hun- tington, Long Island. It is a fine, large otd-fashioned house built on the brow of of a hill overlooking the sound,and sur- rounded with onk and fir trees of enor- mous size. [t may be called a family seat, as it was inherited by my husband from his grandparents. y husband’s first wife met with a very tragic fate within site of this house. She was a skiilful boat-woman, and ver fond of rowing about on the sound some- times allowing her boat to drift out with the tide and come back on tho return tide. Oue day she drifted out on the rried further than usual from land. Before the tide turned iolent thunder-storm arose and tho wind blew a gale. The poor woman must have been drowned during this, for she never returned, and the small boat in which she had been was picked up days after over a hundred miles away by a coasting schooner. This terrible accident occured cight years ago, and such a thing as her ghost returning was never dreamed of auring these years. It was the day before Christmas last, when, with a party of friends, we went down to Huntington. The old house had been elegantly refit- ted, and was the personification of home comforf i its cheerful, old-style wood fires on the wide hearths. Our party was indeed a jolly oune. There W two other brides in it beside my- “The room which my husband and I occupied wus on the second floor—a large cornar room at the front of the house overlooking the sownd, the bright waters of which glimmered and silvered through the branches of the trees aboug the house, as one looked from our north windows. “We had vetired on the first night of our occupancy rather late, and, being mwuch wearied by fatigues inecumbent on me, a hostess I soon fell asleep. Suddenly T awoke with a start T felt something cold on my tace I could scarcely breath, as a deathlike feeling ran through me, and seemed to freeze my blood. It was most horrible. Opening my eyes I saw & woman—if such an objeot as I looked upon could bo said to have sex. She was exceodingly tall, and about her hoad hung long wet streams of yellow hair. Her whole form was lurld with a kind of phosphorescense, and her eyes seemed to blaze with a greemish fire, About her form hung a long looso wrap- per, which water seomed to drip from, each drop having n groon sparkle as it fell; but, most horrible of all, I could sco clear through her body. The moon was shining in through the window, and she was betweon me and the moon, and, strangely enough, I could soo all her bones inside of her body, which seemed 10 be less transparent than the flosh, Soshe seomed askeloton with a pallor of flesh and clothing about her. Slowly with her horribie bony hands she stroked my warm flesh, and salt water scemed to drip from them as she did so. She literally felt mo all over, and while she was doing so I lay spelibound with- out the power of speech or motion, Meanwhile John(my husband) remained sound asleop, ‘At last, she seemingly had satisfied her curiosity in regard to me, she quietly raised up the covers and got in- to the bed between us. Her cold clammy form lay still for a while like a corpse. Then she spoke: ‘John!’ at the samo time taking his hand in her's, My husband awoke and only looked at her a second when, with a wild shriek he leaped from tife bed und found a mateh. Moanwhilo T still lay there in the bed. So did the woman or ghost. When the light was lita loud crash was heard. The ghost was gone in an in- stant. On looking around the whole sash was broken bodily out of the north window, the window toward the sound, and a weird, wailing wind came whist- ling into the room. The noise had aroused the house, and before long our guests and servants wore in the room with us. On hearing the strange story they wore greatly surprised. My hus- band recognized the ghost as that of his drowned wife. “To satisly our guests we up all together in the room next night, and at about the same time the same horrible specter returned, this time only staying o few minutes, but long enough to seare one of our young ladies into a dead faint. **We all left the house soon after, and since that time the strange phantom has been seen in the same room a number of times. She has also been seen walking about the grounds always drossed in the sume manner T have descried and looking the same fad I not seen this with my own s and had others present to witness hould never have believed so re- markably a freak of nature possible.” There seems every reason to believe that Mrs. S. tellsJthis story with the ute most belief of 1ts truth, - v & disordorod = ver try Boecham, Pills, —— o A Waltz Song.
