The Senate to-day reduced the salaries of State officers as follows: Governor,' $3, 000; Secretary of State, $2,000 ; Auditor, $1,750; Treasurer, $3,000; Attorney General, $2,000; Superior Court' Judges, $2,600, and no additional pay for extra courts. A law reducing the tax on tobacco has passed both Houses of Congress. The Senate amended the Mil as It came from the House, striking out the clause which took the tax from matches, leav ing that article, which Is a necessity in every poor family in the land to pay the tax of one cent on each box. Vhy a a useless article like tobacco should be selected to be relieved from tax when it is necessary to keep it on matches is a question which will puzzle almost any one except Congressmen and raisers of tobacco. The consumers of tobacco will be but little benefited, as the amount " taken from the tax will be mostly added to an advance in leaf and an increase profit to the manufacturer. That the man ufacturers expect to largely profit by the reduction is shown by the strong lobby influence they have brought to bear to accomplish their object, and should have been a strong argument against the reduction, which Is made against the earnest protests of the Revenue ofliclals. This is an instance of where the rich are legislated for, and the poor against. Sale of Machinery Hall. A few days ago the building known as the Machinery Hall, the second larg est of the Centennial buildings, was sold at public auction. The auctioneer announced that the main hall was 1,402 feet long and 300 feet wide, the wing be ing 208 by 210 feet in size ; there were in the whole structure about 800,000 pounds of wrought iron an immense quantity of gas and water pipe, three lines of railroad track, about 800,000 pounds of cast iron, over 3,000,000 feet of white pine lumber, about 1,000,000 feet of . yel low pine lumber, over 700,000 feet of tin roofing, 100,000 square feet of . glass, and more than 6,000 perches of stone; the building and all rubbish connected with it must be removed from the Park and the ground upon which it stood smoothly leveled by the purchaser on or before the 1st of next June ; 25 per cent, of the price Bliould be paid im mediately, and the remainder within twenty days from the time of the sale ; the building should not be torn down or removed until after full payment of the price, and in case of default in the payment within twenty days the money deposited should be forfeited and the building should be resold without fur ther notice to the purchaser. The price at which the property started was $2, 600, and then by spirited bids it . went up to $24,000. For that sum William C. Allison & Co. got the building that had cost $037,807,48. It is calculated that it will cost about $20,000 to tear down, and remove the building. Senatorial Beverages. Since the restaurant below has had all liquor eliminated from it the senators Lave been forced to provide for them selves. We had occasion to see a senator the other day, and sending our name in, we were invited into the cloak-room. Our esteemed friend noting that we looked weary, proposed a drink, and forthwith began rummaging through the closets. Pulling out a bottle, he drew the cork, and, giviDg it a sniff, said : " Humph, that's Ferry's gin!" The next bottle brought out : "That's Burnside's Brandy!" An other, "That's Dawes' applejack!" Another, "That's Hamlin's rum !" Yet another, " That's Hoar's medicated bit ters. Where the devil is that whisky ? Ah I here we are." What a jolly set of old cocks they are. t- Washington CapUol. A Costly Runaway. As Mr. Donohue, of Eden, was driv ing along Church street, Lancaster, with' a home and buggy, on the 17th lost., lilt horse took fright at some beer hogsheads in front of Kohler's beerbrewery and ran away, throwing the driver out and injuring one of his hands severely. The affrighted horse ran out Church to East King street, where he dashed upon the pavement in front of John Glbbs' gro cery store, upsetting a sandstone step ping block, breaking oil' a heavy hitch ing post and hurling the buggy against the show window, breaking into hun dreds of pieces two large French plate window panes, and almost completely demolishing the buggy, which was car ried around the corner Into Shlppen St., and there dropped. The horse was not much Injured by his exploit. Somebot tles of oil and some glassware were bro ken inside the window, entailing a total loss of from $75 to $100 to Mr. Glbbs. A Strange Lacking. The Memphis " Appeal" says : Wm. Knight, a condemned murderer, came very near escaping from the county Jail in Jackson, Tenn., on the 1st Inst. After cutting through the roof he might have escaped, forhe fall of ten feet from the end of his rope of blankets to the ground would not likely have seriously injured lilni. But long confinement had so weakened his nerves that, in the mo ment of trial, with freedom before him and the gallows behind,' his courage failed him and he returned to his doom. A Swoon Mistaken for Death. A convict In the penitentiary at Juli et, Illinois, after a short illness, the oth er duy tuddeiily died, as it wassupposed. The body was taken In charge of by the persons whose duty It is to attend to sucli matters, and in due time placed In a eoflln, preparatory to being buried in the prison cemetery. Soon after a thumping was heard inside tliecolTln, and on the being removed the man was found to be living. He had recovered from his swoon, was released from his unpleasant confinement, and is now filling his place as usual in the gang. Daring Burglary Near Rlegclsvllle, Pa. Keigelsville.

Bishop Corrigan, of Newark, in his pastoral to the Catholics of his diocese, mokes a rule that in future no more than twelve carriages will be permitted in Catholic funerals, on the ground that funeral pomp is out of keeping with the humility which should be the distin guished trait of Christians.
