Speaker Heed wns printout, to dUctt-sH tho
details of a bill whteh in their opinion
would furnish the ileal red relief.
Ah ,'t preliiiiliiury it wan deokk'd tlmt,
while the situation In the (teimto us lo the
fate thereof any meiiHure (Hissed by the
house hhrnild be kept in mind, lh house
must act independently of tho result In
the upper branch of ofmgrtwM. Tho tfoneral
outline of a measure was practically
agreed upon, but tho details have not
been completed. Thn sentiment was unani
mous that no gold bonds should bo auth
orized, but that a 1)111 on the Huns of Mr.
Ilccd's amendment of last year should be
drawn up, and with tliatslmiildliecouiiled
somo tariff changes for the purpo-rti of
raising additional revenue. Last winter
tho Republicans took tho stand that the
menace to tho (fold reserve, was caused
primarily by tho lack oi revenue to meet
tho expenses of tho government, and that
is sua their position.
Mr. Heed's bond proposition, which the
committee will adopt, provides for. tho ro
dilution of tho rate of interest unnVnuls to
M issued under tho acts of Us7o ami 18"f,
;fortho purpose of resuming specio pay
ment and protecting the specie reserve,
from 4 to 3 per cent., nnd for a low rate,
low denominational coin bond, which will
practically bo a debt certificate, to be used
to supply dnliclencles in tho rovenucx. By
tho terms of tho bill It is probable that
provisions will be inserted to provide, that
the proceeds of any bonds issued tinder tho
nets of 1--.70 and 1875, as amended, shall go
to the re,erve, and of the latter bonds to
pay current expenses. In this way n sep
arate account can lm kupt, and the pro
ceeds of bonds hold to maintain tho rosorve
cannot be used to p;n en: r 'lit expnnscs.
The details of the tarhV changes will
furnish the most difficult tie-k in framing
the bill There Is practical unanimity of
sentiment, so fir as can Im learned, among
the Republican mombcrsof tho committee
f"r i duty on wool and compensating
dutii s on woolons. The western members
wuut the duty on wool to bo at least eight
cent s per pound, but the indications are that
It will not exceed five cents. There is somo
dlscti ion of a proposition to make a hori
zontal Im renso on all the schedules except
sugar of from 15 to 20 per cent., but that
is opposed in curtain qunrturs as not being
on protection linos. It sooms probable,
however, that wool and woolens, lumber
nnd various other articlos will bo selected.
Wliilo there is, it is said, some differenco
of opinion on this point, it seems certain
that there will bo a timo limitation of two
years or thirty months on tho life of tho
tariff provisions of tho bill. Tho point
will bo made that It is an emergency meas
ure for raising revenue, and, therefore,
could meet with tho approval of all who
believe that tho treasury needs additional
revenue, uo matter what the individual
opinions may be regarding protective
duties.
Tho Republicans of the ways and moans
committee are now at work perfecting tho
details of tho bill. It is hoped that it can
bo ready by tomorrow, and if so It will
probably be passed under a special order
of tho committee on rules, or possibly un
der suspension of tho rules. Speaker Reed
and his lieutenants are not disposed to
brook delay. They liellove tho house
should do its duty promptly.
After tho bill lias been sent to tho somite
the question of whether congress shall re
main In session for tho remainder uf the
holidays will rot with that body. If the
senate will proceed to consideration 0f the
bill tho house will remain in session, prob
ably adjourning from day to day, but if
the senate should, after the passage of the
house bill, show that it did not propose, to
go ahead with it, and should deliberately
pass a resolution for a holiday recess, it Ii!
probable that tho liotii would agr i to it.
As to tho attitude of the Drnuierais to
ward tho bill, It seems probable that It
will bo opposed by mo-it if not all of thoni.
Tho silver Democrats are not disposed to
vote for any bond proposition, first beouuse
tlioy believe there is another remedy in
the hands of tho executive the redemp
tion of notes in silver. They might vote
for coin bonds to Imrrow money If that
money was needed to meet current ex
penses. Tho administration and sound money
Democrats who might be disposed to voto
for a bond authorization will probably be
deterred from voting for tho measure be
causo of Its tariff propositions, so that tho
solid opposition of the Democrats Is looked
for, Tlic overwhelming Republican ma
jority insures Its passnge.however, lwyond
question. It is llkoly that several amend
ment will bo offered by tho Democrats if
they can secure recognition for that pur
pose ono to authorize tho redemption of
tho treasury notes of lain in silver, another
to coin the silver in the treasury, and pos
sibly u pl.du free coinage amendment.

Whlttler unit the Ox.
When Whlttler was a child, his father
had a pair of oxen named iiuek and Old
llutlor. They Were treated almost as fam
ily pets, and as thoy lay on tho hillsldo
chewing their cuds, the two boys, Green

sitting upon t lielr forehoads and leaning
against their liorns,
Old lJuller once saved the futuro poet's
life in a way I hat entitles him to everlast
ing remembrance. Tim story is told in Mt.
Plcknrd's biography. Tho boy wont to the
pasture with a bag of salt for tho cattlo.
Old Hutlcr, from tho hilltop, saw him
coming, and hurried down to meet him. It
happened that thotelopewos pretty steep,
and the heavy ox acquired such momen
tum that he fuund himself unable to stop.
A moment moro and the boy would linvo
been crushed. But tho ox pulled himself
together, leaped straight out Into tho air,
cleared the boy's bead, and camo to tho
ground far below with troiuondous forco,
but happily without harm.
In after life Whlttler told another story
of Old liutler. Quaker meetings wero
sometimes held In tho large Whlttler kltcli
on. On ono Mieli occasion, in summer, Old
Utltler put bis head In at tho open win

the remains of wife No. 1 removed from

manner. When the wlokcrwork basket
In which tho woman had boon interred
was reached, and efforts' made to raise it,
the vi' l,'!.c of the receptacle mid its con

four men engaged In the work and tho ap

surprise of all it was found the coffin con

, " Years ago," said all old secret service
tnan, "I wns In buslniss in New York.
Men at my Initio ns n detective heur all
sorts of stories, nome of them long after
the knowledge will do any good. Never
theless now nnd than thote yarns form
onrlnim bits of history. Not long ngo n
gentleman fn in the Inside wns telling mu
a bit of the unwritten history ot tho Now
York custom house. What ho related took
pllico over 20 years ago in fact, not long
nftor tho war. Ho was explaining how
money was made Inside thu customs linos.
1 " 'A friend of mine,' said that gentle
man, 'was one of tho Inspectors In tho
Now York office. His business was to go
aboard boats, ransack the trunks of pas
sengers and overhaul tho effects f immi
grants. In othor words, ho was to look
out for smugglers. This wns in 1SUI).
" 'Ono day Ills chlof came to him nnd
mill; "You meet such and such a ship
when sho comes in. She's nt. tho Narrows
now. Take with you one of tho women of
imr ofllco, because you will have to search
a German girl who Is nboard tho boat.
This girl will ho with her father, whoso
name is Schmidt, and who comes from
Uronicn. Ho has nothing on him or about
him that Is wrong, but tho girl has n
whole handful of diamonds done up In hor
bnok hair. You havo tho Inspcctross who
Is with you to search tho girl and have her
finally Hud tho diamonds in her chignon.
Don't bungle the job nor go straight to
tho diamonds as If you know where they
were. I want the discovery to como along
in a regular way and nothing done to In
dicnto that wo havo, had any pointer as tc
the folks and tholr diamonds."
" 'There was no time,' continued my
frlond, 'to ask any quostlons as to how my
chief know of tho whereabouts of this
plant of diamonds. I took tho woman in
spector, hs lie directed mo, nnd wo wont
aboard tho boat and qulokly found our
passengers from Dromon. This Schmidt
bad been further described to mo by my
chief ns having only ono eye, so ho was
easy to pick out. I searched the old man
In a oareful way, and tho Woman with mc
took the girl into a stntoroom, and after
fooling away ten minutes in a pretended
search finally discovered tho diamonds in
hor waterfall, as tho peculiar colffuro of
that day was termed.
"'Of courso Wo took possession of tho
diamonds aiid put the old German and his
daughter under nrrost. It was a soro blow,
and they walled and wept and beat their
bosoms mightily.
" 'As wo always did at that tlmo, wo
contented ourselves with confiscating tho
diamonds. Of oourso I mado a bluff. I
told tho old man nnd his daughter thoy
were under nrrosf, but that I would lot
thoni go for tho night. Tho noxt day thoy
must return at ID o'clock to tho customs
olllco, whon wo would solid them to tho
penitentiary for anywhere from 10 to 20
years.
"'This last, I say, was only a bluff,
however, and tho pooplo never enmo back,
ns wo had every reason to suppose would
bo tho caso. Wo had no tlmo to try crim
inals and usually contented ourselves with
confiscating tho goods which thoy at
tempted to smugglo, and as theso wero
gonerully very vnluablo It was punishment
enough.
" 'Whon I found my chief, I told him I
had the diamonds all safe enough aud
had given tho old German and his daugh
ter such a scare that nono of us need ex
pect to see either of thorn again. Then I
asked him how ho know so accurately
about the diamonds.
' " 'My chief told mo that his informa
i Ion camo from tho son-in-law of tiio old
man. It soouis that thu old German had
two daughtors. Tho elder one was mnr
ricd and already in this country, living in
Now York city. Tho younger girl, when
she and hor father got ready to come over,
wrote thO other how thoy had turned all
of tholr property Into diamonds, which
could bo bought nt n low flguro in Europe,
and on account of tho tariff sold for doublo
tho money hero, and how sho proposed to
conceal them In hor hair in order to smug
glo them asliuro.
" 'Naturally tho elder slstor told her
husband, and It was ho who informed my
chief. What wns his object? Why, tho
infernal rn.sc.al expected tl get 45 per cent
of tho proceeds of tho confiscated property
when sold, being tho amount which, in
that dxiy, wont to tho inlornicr.
" 'I couldn't for the life of moseo whoro
my chief and mysolf and tho other boys in
tho custom house wero going to got nny
part of tho proceeds of thoso diamonds.
Thoy wore of courso reported to tho olllco
ns confiscated, and tholr salo would duly
tako place, but with tho reptile son-in-law
getting 45 porcont as Informer and Undo
Sunt tho othor 55 per cent as conflsontor,
I couldn't sco whore we'd get in. But my
chief, who was a very intelligent man, budo
mo bo of good chqor. Ho had a plan which
ho wns confident woulil work.
" 'At one of tho sales which the custom
house periodically holds tho old Gorman's
diamonds woro duly hawked off. Wo had
not seen ulthei' him -or his daughter since
I turned them loose on tho wharf, although
wo know from tho son-ln-Iaw that they
were at tho house in Now York, very much
overcome with their loss and tho fear of
being punished as smugglers, a foar which
ho very much fed, by tho way, by tolling
thoni somo awful stories of what happened
to peoplo who wero oaught trying to boat
the custom housji. Tho diamonds, whon
sold, if LremeatCer .correctly, wero takon
'by Tiffany nnuJbrouiht between ?0,000
and 110,000. Tho share due tho Infonnor
was over $4,000.
" 'Tho ain.oiint duo to the government
was turnetfirter, and shortly following tho
fnilhlMsrton-ltl-law camo .skulking in to
gtt hte slwro of tho money.
"Certainly," replied my ohlof,
"you're the Informer, and tho money's
-yours. There Is something over $4,000
coining to you. But I propose to havo
witnesses when it Is paid over. I will pay
it to you any timo when you bring your
wife and hor .sister aud your father-in-law
witli you to gee It done. I intend that
they shall witness this transaction and
learn just exactly wluit sort of u our you
arc" '
"The sou-ln-law Informer orept nwny
aud never returned. He couldn't fuoe the
conditions which made his obtaining tho
money possible. It was not lost, how
ever. You may be sure It wont to good
people, who kufcw liow to use it.' "
