IN CONGRESS. Promising Attitude of the Tariff Kaddlc. BENATOR ELEUT McVEAGH, OF ILLI N0I3, E0U0E3 HOME SENTIMENTS- All Mertibtn Anxiout to Adjourn. From our Hegtilar CoirpKpondoot, Washington, July jo, 1S94. The Democrats who place the inter ests of the party and the country above that of individuals, whether those individuals be U. S. Senators or private citizens, have been working niantully since the smoke of the Senatorial explosion, which for a time threatened to make tariff legislation impossible at this session of Congress, cleared away, to bring about a better state of feeling among Democrats who differ in their opinions as to the extent to which tariff reform ought to go at this time. While it cannot be said that their work has j et been entirely successful, it has certainly had a good effect, and the belief is now general that the renewal of the tariff conference will result in an agreement that ran be accepted by the Democrats of both the House and Senate' and by President Cleveland without loss of dignity or prestige on the part of either. Now that the events of the past week can be calmly considered there seems to be reason for the opinion held by many able Democrats, that personal prejudice was allowed to enter into much of the talk that has been indulged in, and that some people have been far more intent upon " getting even " than upon the good of the country or the welfare of the Democratic party. However, as the policy of tho;e Democrats who are now trying to bring about harmoni ous action by the party in Congress is to let bygones be bygones the least said about recent party happenings the better. Too much, much too much, has already been said, both in Congress ami in Democratic news papers. The principle ohjict of every Democrat should now be to "get together," pas3 the tariff bill and elect a majority of the next House. For certain it is that if the first two things be not soon accomplished the third, already made difficult by party dissenticrs, will soon become an im possibility. Mr. Franklin McVeflgh, who enjoys the distinction of having been nomi nated by the Democrats of Illinois to the U. S. Senate, is in Washington. McVeagh says the Republicans are making a great mistake concerning the attitude of the people towards tariff reform, and that the people are at this time more anxious for radical tariff legislation than they were either in the campaigns of ' 90 or ' 92. lie states his own opinion thusly : " As between the Senate and House bills, my preference is for the latter, because I am a thorough believer in free raw materials. On this question I feel sure the popular verdict sustains the President and the House, and I think we will speedily get a tariff law along the lines of the Wilson bill. Yet I should not feel unhappy in the event that the other view prevails, because to enact a measure like the Senate bill is a great achievement for the Democracy. It is a complete reversal of a policy of thirty years standing. It is like a short turning of an army to the west that has been marching due east. It is the beginning of a new and better order, and even if only a beginning is not to be condemned." Should the House adopt a resolu tion offered by Representative Talbot, of South Carolina, directing the Coinage Committee to report a 16 to 1 free coinage bill, and the Banking and Currency Committee to report one or all of the bills proposing a change in the monetary system of the country, a financial debate that might be indefinitely extended would at once begin in the House. There are several reasons why the House is not likely to adopt this resolution at this time, but one of them would be suffi cient the desire of members to ad journ as soon as the tariff bill is dis posed of, in order to take part in the Congressional campaign. The making of the Wilson bill came near causing the death of Chairman Wilson, and if he persists, in the present condition of his health, in trying to perform labors in connec tion with the tariff conference that would prostrate a strong and healthy man his friends fear for the conse quences. He says he is in the fight to remain until the last blow is struck regardless of his own health or feelings. Although Minister Willis was some what premature in fully recognizing the Republic of Hawaii in advance of instructions to that effect from Secretary Gresham there is little doubt that his action will be approved by the administration. It is not pro bable that any action will be taken on the format protest of the ex Queen against the establishment of the Republic in Hawaii.

There are many sensational rumors afloat oinr.cininp the testimony taken by the Senate committee that is in vestigatmg the sugar trust scandal, but as the committee has not made public any of the testimony venfica tion is impossible; they 'are too serious to be repeated without verification. $100 Reward, $100.

WarSold by Druggists, 75c. No rood Liktj Rattlesnakes. John Henry Howird, of Kentucky, j eats rattlesnakes. He says there is no finer delicacy than a juicy rattler if well cooked. Mr. Howard, who lives on Spy Run Creek, near Yanceburg, Ky., will therefore never go hungry as long as he retains his cunning in cap turing the reptiles and his recipe for doing them to a delicious brown. Mr. Howard has been eating rattle snakes for about ten years. Possibly this accounts for his fine robust ap pearance and general health, and in a measure for the fact that he weighs jo pounds. To a World correspon dent who ask him to tell how he ac quired this strange liking for rattle snakes, he said : " One of my uncles told me he had heard of people eating rattlesnakes, so, out of curiosity, I thought I'd try one. The woods in the section where I live has allers b.en full of snakes.' The next day after I had been told snakes was good, I started out on a hunt for a rattler. I wasn't long in findin' one. I hammered his head off, took him home, skinned him, and soon had him in the fryin' pan. " My mother and sisters wouldn't stay m the house while I was a cookin' of the thing, but I couldn't help that. Arter the sarpent was done, I took him out, put him on a plate, peppered him over, sloshed a little vinegar on him an went to work. My stomach kinder humped up in protest at the first bite, but on the second it quieted down and received the snake with evident satisfaction. " The next day I had another sar pent under my belt, and the day after that and so on, until I formed a per fect passion for snake fries. Thar ain't no food on. earth that's any better than a fine, fat, well fried rattlesnake. " Young rabbits is good, squirrels is toothsome, quails is awful nice, young chickens is not to be sneezed at but none of 'cm has any chance with me if I can git a big, fat rattlesnake. The rattler's flesh looks a good deal like chicken, and when it is fryin' the odors of it i3 exactly like young chick ens fryin'. I tell you, you won't never know first-class eatin' until ye 1'arn, like me, the glories of a rattlesnake feast." " How do you catch them ?" " With a forked stick. You see, in capturing snakes for the table you must be very keerful ter keep 'em from bit in' theirselves. So I take a forked stick about five feet long, an' when I find my prey, with a short, quick move I fasten the fork across his neck, about an inch from his head. I then hold him firmly with piy left hand and with my right I stoop down and cut his head square off. " Where do I find most of 'em ? Oh, in bark piles. My part of the country is a .great tan bark country. In a month or so after the bark is peeled and corded you'll find a rattler or two in everypile. Do I do without snakes in the winter ? Oh, no ; not much I don't. " During the summer season I lay by stores for winter. I catch scores an scores of the sarpents skin 'em and dry 'em, and prepare 'em for winter, jest the same as others would store away their winter's bacon. Catch me goin hungry in the. winter for the want of a snake I Not much 1 I'm no grass hopper to dance through the summer and starve when the winter time comes." " Did you ever try eating any other snake ?" "Yes; tried a copperhead one bite. That done me from then till now. It made ine sick. Whew 1 I don't like ter think about that 'ar 1 '.

THE COLUMBIAN, EQUINE VETERAN OF THE WAR. Belle Morby is claimed to be the only horse living who was in the civil war. She is now living at Library, a little hamlet ten miles south of Pitts burg, with her master, Joseph R. Phil lips, of Company F. Fignteenth Penn sylvania Cavalry, who rode her in 1865. She will be on exhibition next September at the G. A. R. encamp ment at Pittsburg, The story of this horse, as told ty her owner to a World correspondent, is as follows: 41 There are those who think Belle Mosby was captured from Mosby, the rebel guerrilla, but it is not the case. We got into Mosby's territory, how ever, and a comrade who had seen Mosby's dark eyed, gypsy-like wife a few days before suggested to me that she be called after her, and Belle Mosby she was named on that day. I was a member of Company F. Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, un der command of Lieut. W. A. Young, who is now living at Kamrnercr, this State. " We had started from Sandy Hook to Richmond to help Grant, and in the Shenandoah Yalley captured Jubal Early's rebel forces. Company F. was detailed to take the prisoners back while the remainder of the army went on. After the first day's march we crossed the Newmarket Creek and burned the brijge, for we were close pressed, by a party of rebels who were bent on recapturing the prisoners. It was about 6 o'clock when we went into camp, and in less than half an hour there was a great comniotio;i raised on the other side of the creek. " Through the gathering dust there came a little black horse, ridden like the wind by a half-grown negro who was evidently frightened almost to death. In his broken language he told how he had stolen the horse from a near by rebel camp and escap. ed to us, hoping to find freedom. A hurried consultation was held, and Lieut. Young ordered the nec;ro and horse to be brought across the stream "Just how to get her across was the question. The banks wer steep, the current swift and the bridge gone. A twelve-inch plank, however, was thrown across the abutments of the ruined bridge, and across this twenty five feet above the water, the little mare walked, snorting and trembling, but without a stop or misstep. The whole command was down by the bank by this time to see her cross the planks, and a great cheer went up as she stepped among us safe and sound. " Lieut. Young strode up to the piare ; his practised eye took in every fine line of the beautiful little thorough bred. Turning to the necro, he said: I'll give you an overcoat for this horse All right, massa; dey'll only steal her from me, anyhow, and I'll take de coat. So this horse, now Belle Mosby, became the property of Lieut. Young. 41 1 he next morning the rebs came down on us in earnest, and we had to fight for keeps. I saw two horses go down under Young ; then he called for his new horse, and right gallantly she bore him. She seemed to bear a charmed life, darting and flashing around through the scrap like a charm ed creature. She was hit several times by stray bullets, which made only tlesh wounds, however, and didn't hun her any. 44 Young was a very warm friend of mine, and a day or two afterwards he called me to his tent and said Belle Mosby should be mine. 4' I kept her several weeks and she carried me safe through several fights, Then, whe n Comrade W. L. Sheets, now of Gastonville, Pa., got his dis charge and was coming home to my neighborhood I let him ride her home from near Cumberland, Md. When Belle made her sensational entrance into our camp on that March evening in '65, her teeth showed her to be five years old. Never since I have owned her has she weighed more than 950 pounds. She is a little thoroughbred, hard as nails. 41 Up to six years ago I worked her regularly but then her age began to tell on her and 1 let her rest. For the past winter or two she has suffered greatly from rheumatism, but when spring comes she has so far managed to pull through all right. In the last month or two I have received scores of letters from all over the country asking me to put Belle on exhibition at the coming G. A. R. encampment in Pittsburg, and I have agreed to do so. She is beyond doubt the only horse living that took part in the War of the rebellion." The identity of Belle Mosby is vouched for by Lieut. Young, of Kammerer, Pa.; Private Al. Lauder baugh, of Oakdale, Pa., who led her across the plank bridge in 1 80s, and -by Comrade William Sheets, of Gas- tonville, Pa., who rode hsr home from the War. The usual treatment of catarrh is very unsatisfactory, as thousands can testify. Proper local treatment is posi tively necessary to success, but many, if not most, of the remedies in general use afford but temporary relief. A cure certainly cannot be 'expected from snufl's, powders, douches and washes. Fly's Cream Balm, which is so highly commended, is a remedy whicii combines the important requis ites of quick action, specific' curative power, with perfect safety cr.d pleas antness to the patient. The druggists all sell it. BLOOMSBURG, PA. Did Not Speak To His Wife. John Hunt, of Zikonk, Mass., who died recently, had not spoken to his wife for twenty years. Five or six years aftc their marriage Hunt wished to sell apiece of ground.. Hi wife's signature was needed to the convey ance, but she refused to give it. Hunt at once became sullen and refused to speak to her. Thinking to please him and bring about tranquillity in the family circle, she at last told him she would sign the conveyance. He did not answer her, but let her sign. He did not even speak to her upon his dying bed. No wonder he died. If the devil hasn't got him we can see but little use for devils. A " Run-down ' and ,4used-up" feeliug is the fust warning that your liver isn't doing is work. And, with a torpid liver and the impure blood that follows it, you're an easy prey to all sorts of ailments. That is the time to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, to repel disease and build up the needed flesh and strength, there's nothing to equal it. It rouses every organ into healthful action, purifies and enriches the blood, braces up the whole system, and le stores health and vigor. For every disease caused by a dis ordered liver or impure blood, it is the only guaranteed remedy. It it doesn't benefit or cure, in every case, you have your money Luck. $500 is offered, by the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, for an incurable case of Catarrh. Their remedy perfectly and permanently cures the woist cases. The 3enate and th? Paopls. The people are none too tolerant of the Senate, none too well disposed towarjs its continuance as a branch of the legislative department of the Government. Its utter disregard of the popular will has alienated the peo ple ; and the effort is being made in more than one State to bring it into better subjection to the people - by making" the members responsible to the latter for the election, instead of permitting them to purchase their seats, as they now do, from the State Legislatures. The plan of nominating Senators at the State conventions of the parties is growing in favor because in that way only under existing Con stitutional provisions can the evils growing out of legislative choice be met. -Free Press.
