the house went into a committee of the
whole (Hammond in the chair) on the
general deficiency bill.
In speaking to the clause relating to the
pay of witnesses Springer caused to be
read a letter from Attorney General Gar
land to Senator Allison explaining that
the increase of expenditures for these fees
in 1886 was caused by the fact that there
was a deficiency in 1885, and consequently
a large amount of the business of that year
was carried over to 1886. Also, owing to
the prosecution of polygamous Mormons
under the Edmunds act, and on account of
the prosecution of offences arising under
the general land laws, these were necessa
ry and unforseen expenses and we ought
not to take exception to an increase of ex
penses on this account. While there has
been a trifling increase of expenditures iu
the matters indicated, yet there has been
a large decrease of expenditures during
the fiscal year just closed, as compared
with the previous fiscal year. This de
crease in all the deportments of the gov
ernment amounted, according to the state
ments of treasury officials, to $22,500,1)00.
The new broom of this administration is
sweeping clean and much better results
may be anticipated for the ensuing year.
A long, and at times
ACRIMONIOUS DISCUSSION
arose over an amendment offered by Mr.
Cannon, of Illinois, appropriating $22,000
to refund taxes illegally collected from
certain railroad eompanias, on account of
a lien bond and stockholders, the amend
ment was adopted. The clause ratifying
and confirming the adjustment of salaries
of postmasters heretofore made by the
postmaster general persuant to the act of
March 3, 1883, was ruled out on a point oi
order. An amendment offered by Burns,
of Missouri, striking out the entire appro
priation for the readjustment $382,394
was adopted.

Hotel Kaaterskill, July 3.—When
the polished villain In “Adonis” said,
“Meet me on your mountain’s forehead in
half an hour,” he did not refer to the brow
of this hill. Six hours’ journey is required
to reach this spot. One starts out in the
heat of a broiling July morning from the
redolent neighborhood of West Forty-
second street,’ unless he prefers to go down
town and begin at Jay street, from under
the shndow of the black old gas works, so

time to
| his farm and which was so rapidly nearing
completion. How to overcome the insur
mountable difficulties which seemed to
present themselves was the one question hi
his mind.
At length he had a happy inspiration.
He would buy her. When he broached
the subject to Mrs. Statterlee she received
the proposition with fewer scrapples than
he had expected. She appreciated his soli
tude, and if she could not return hiB affec
tions her gratitude would go a long way
toward it. The question now arose as to
whether the husband would make a rea
sonable bargain. Mr. Thompson went to
the house and broached the subject.
Satterlee thought at first it was a joke,
but when he saw Thompson waa in earn
est he became serious and finally offered to
sell his wife and children for $600. Mr.
Thompson put down the cash at once.
That night Satterlee left for New York and
the woman and children aro now living
with Thompson in comfort and happiness.

Chicago, July 5.—A special from Monti-
cello, Ills., says: A farmer named Wild-
man, residing in Unity township, of this
county, yesterday murdered his wife and
then tried to commit suicide. He made
several gashes in his throat, narrowly
missing the arteries, and rinding himself
still alive he forced the knife upwards into
his mouth, splitting his tongue. Some
time since Mrs. Wildman. by the death of
a relative, fell heir to $12,000. She did
not regard her husband as the proper cus
todian and so willed it to their children.
The murder grew out of these facts.
After the murder he sent one of
his small children to a neighbor
with a message that his mother was dead,
and that he 'the murderer) could be found
at the barn. Then he began butchering
himself in the manner above stated. At
last accounts he was suffering intensely,
and his wounds will probably prove fatal.
He had previously borne a fair reputation.

found lying in ten inches of water in the

hill. The tug scents the barge afar off and !
snorts its jov.The preen slopesrise in silent |
beauty on either side of the placid waters, ’
and the sky is full of the soft haze of a hot
July day. Away rushes the train. The j
cars riiie easily, and if it was not for the
dust, which must be expected after so i
much dry weather, people would say !
that the' West Shore road was abso- i
lute perfection. Then comes West !
Point, and the Hudson's most lovely
charms are laid bare to admiring
eyes. Old Crow Nest, filled full of bomb
shells from the 13-iuch mortar and 450
pound shot from the IB-iueh guns down at
the seacoast battery, looms up anil smiles
peacefully at Breakneck. The excursion
people smile peacefully also, except those
who have neglected to bring their dusters
along. Cornwall, meeting at the foot of !
the tall hills; Newburgh, busy with its
miniature commerce; Poughkeepsie, sug
gesting all kinds of memories of young la
dies charged with electricity and satin,
are passed.
Three hours after leaving Weekawken
the train slides into the union station at
Kingston, anil a welcome voice informs
the. excursion-goer that this is a place
where he may eat. He eats and then
boards a new train, this time on the Ulster
and Delaware road. Such a
time as that train has doing
the first half dozen miles of iis
run no one can describe. It is uphill work,
and the engine puffs and groans like the
fabled Sisyphus trying to roll the stone up
the hill in Hades. One hour’s ride over a
good road brings tlie traveler to Phoenicia,
where he can see mountains of nil sorts
and degrees all around him. Once more
he changes cars. This time he gets into a
train that has a familiar look. He expects
to hear some one call out, “This train does
not stop at Sheepshcnil Bay," but no one
does. It is not a Coney Island train, though
the ojien ears anil small engine look lik-
it. Th is train is on tlie Stony Clove ami
Catskill Mountain road. It is well named.
The train climbs steeu grades, rushes
along the brink of precipitous hills, spins
across stony bottomed, foaming streams,
twisis around the liases of towering, green,
wooded slopes, and has an aerobatic time
of it generally. Some of the deep ravines
through which it passes, with the great,
silent mountains standing in kingly dignity
on either side, are filled with a lovltness
and solemn liemit,; that would have de
lighted the heart of Shelley. Finally, as
Ine sun is sinking behind the western
slopes, gilding the olive summits to burn
ing gold and softening the deep brown
shadows to a royal and marvelous purple,
tlie train, booming along one side of a
deep anil wide hollow, on the other side of
which rises a majestic peak, rolls into
Kaaterskill station and all hands change
ears for the last time. This change is into
big carriages, which slowly, and painfully
toll up the brow of the mountain with
their loads.
The stranger is carried gradually around
through the woods, iv e. - a good mountain
road. lie sees nothing but the mountain
opposite, for trees and shrubbery are in Ids
way. until a little bend and rise in the road
bring into his view the wonderful pan
orama below. Me holds his breath, he
turlis faint; I'ora moment he cannot look at
it. He feels as if he were suspended in
midair, and all that sea of golden grain and
erdant foliage cut by a silver thread, that
is the Hudson, weru calling for him to fail
down ami bury liimsi If in the glorious
beauty. It is indescribable; it is sublime,
and tin.I is wlmt the stranger looks at with
awe from his airy perch in the lintel
Kaati rskill.t hat seems lifted up toward the
heavtiis and out of the great silent world
that lies so far below.
The editorial excursion has reached its
destination. It is not all here. Fragments
of it will come later this evening. That
portion of it which is here is not saying
much, but is doing a heap of thinking!

It is a very unpatriotic man who doe»
not rememlier that the extent of his in
dulgence in fireworks on tho fourth of
July in his youth varied largely with the
flourishing or depressed condition of the
“old gentleman’s” business, aud if the
amount of fireworks already purchased
this year is any sign of commercial pros
perity then the biggest kind of a business
boom has struck this country. At any
rate it is high time for nervous maiden
ladies and irascible bachelors to put cotton
in their ears and seek some far secluded
spots. Wholesale and retail dealers are
too happy aud too busy to speak; the old
apple woman has left the fruit trade to the
Italians, and has taken a flyer in firecrack
ers and torpedoes, and peddlers are block
ing Greenwich, Fulton and Nassau streets
with noisy novelties declared to be per
fectly safe for any child over three years of
age, while the improvident newsboy iB
having a whole celebration slightly in ad
vance of the appointed day with himself
and a few friends on every accessible cor
ner.
The fire-works trade is said to be the big
gest in the city. Many manufacturers arc
inclined to grieve that they did not better
anticipate the wants of the season. Some
dealers reported themselves completely
sold out. The trade is particularlv large
iu the sale of the more expensive displays
and set pieces. Private gentlemen in large
numbers have ordered lots costing from
$200 to $1000, which is something hereto
fore unknown, and charitably disposed
persons have purchased extensive exhibi
tions to be sent to the various public and
private institutions of the city. It is a sin-
i guiar fact that lunatics are especially de
lighted with fireworks, and the insane on
! Blackwell’s island, the Bloomingdale in
sane asylum, aud many others are to be
elaborately treated on Monday. Staten
I island and Manhattan beach promise to
carry off'the palm for explosive patriotism.
To judge by the overtaxed efforts of the
1 express companies it would seem that
Staten island is to be a pandemonium of
noise by day and an island of tire by
night under a sky ot golden rain, colored
stars, revolving comets, and all the other
wonderful names that belong to the no
menclature of the trade. Every village-
down there will be about as combustible
as a powder magazine for the next few
; (lavs. The wholesale men say that tlie
middle and eastern states are the most
patriotic judged from their standard, that
The west comes next, and the south last.
Luckily for the trade this year the hotels
i at all the summer resorts are engaging In
a generous rivalry to eclipse or rather out
shine the displays of their neighbors, aud
the amounts disposed of in this way are
enormous. Albany, Newburg, and New
port, which last is to have a great celebra
tion on Tuesday night in honor of
the Twenty - third regiment of
i Brooklyn, are quoted as among
the ' most brilliant places for
Monday. American fireworks are sent to
! all parts of t he world. The Indian depart
ment has ordered large quantities this year
Je society lias shipped whole
ingo or the Niger,
" that old reliable
aud the Bible
eases to India and the C'
so that the daily trip o
fireball, the sun. will be greeted all the way
around. The Chinese m this ciVG how
ever, scorn the use of American ttTC-QCTRfe*
ers. and so they had imported a large
quantity for their own use. They also dis
dain shooting them i ff "tie at a time, but
their big crimson cylinders come in pack-
ages containing froth seventy to one thou
sand. A long string is attached to each
package, which is suspended, and then a
fuse iirnitcs them all. Mutt and Pell streets
will be very lively on Monday.
Since the first anniversary of the fourth
of July yankee ingenuity has made more
improvement in the art of pyrotechnics
than the Chinese in all the 4000 years since
their alleged discovery of gunpowder, and
this year is particularly prolific in popular
novelties. Water fireworks are entirely
new. There are flying fish and “diving
devils,” which skip and dive and finally
explode most beautifully. Flying pigeons
on wire ‘200 feet long scoot through the air
discharging stars forward and backward
and at the same time having a rotary'
motion. But the most amusing of all are
balloons of aminal figures. These are very
large and are made of strong tissue paper-
in the shape of elephants, fishes and pigs.
These are easily heated and are
warranted to ascend a mile. The sky
is expected to be full of these laughable
shapes. Great ingenuity is expended on
those cheap toys which the peddlers sell.
There are three of these which contest the
youthful favor this year -the bomb dart,
the cup and ball, and the dynamite fiend.
The bomb dart is a slender piece of wood
with arrow wings at one end. Tire other
end is loaded and covered with a movable
sheet iron disk,which receives a mammoth
cap. Tiie dart can then be accurately
hurled at short range. The cap explodes
with a loud report. The cup and bull con
sists of an iron cup with a wooden handle.
The cti!) lias a slight orifice at the bottom
which receives a blank cartridge, and then
the hill! is pushed home. The end of
tlie cartridge is then struck on a
convenient stone and the ball is sent flying
40 feet in the air. The dynamite fiend fi
the invention of a genius. A hollow sec
tional figure is held together by an elastic
spring, a firecracker is placed inside and
then a movable head with the most wildly
contorted features fits tightly on the fuse
of the cracker, coming through the mouth.
When the cracker explodes the head is
shot toward the sky, and tlie figure under
goes a series of frightly spasms. All these
attractions sell for the uniform price of 5
cents, and they disappear by the gross.
The children of to-day are the most fortu
nate imps sinct the world began.
