FIGHTING FOR HONOR. A Regular Row in the Illinois Leglsla tuie lo See ho Should be Speaker of the House of Keprese ntative*. Springfield, Ills., Jan. 22. At 10.40 last night, Speaker Haines resign ed, saying it seemed the democrats did not want him and it was evident the republicans did not want him, he would therefore have to assume his old position, as an independent party. As soon as he laid down the gavel, there was a free fight for its possession. Rep resentative Pike of Bloomington, a six and a half foot republican, rushed forward, and seized the insignia of authority,but no sooner bad lie grasped it, than McAlency of Carlin ville, and Campbell of McLeai»*b.>r>, collared the giant, and hurled him from the stand, j while Baker of Sullivan, wrenched the gavel from his hand. For five minutes pandemonium would have been considered orderly alongside of the hall of the House of Representatives. At last. however, a motion was made by Messrs, (’rafts and Mennealey, democrats of Chicago, J that Crankrite, deni., of Stephenson, be made temporary Speaker, which was put ami car- ried unanimously Crankrite took the chair and gavel, lie called the House to order and on motion, the House adjourned until 10 i o’clock this morning. Previous to adjournment, Fuller, rep., of Chicago, republican candidate for Speaker, in order to satisfy his side, after Crankrite i took the chair, moved that that gentlemen be temporary Speaker, which motion was car- j ried unanimously. The House was in session today, from 10 to 4.20 o’clock, with Speaker Conkrite pre- siding, but no business was transacted. Mo- i tions were made by both sides, but no vote j was secured for permanent officers. Tonight, j the democrats hold a caucus. Conkrite with- drew as candidate for permanent Speaker, i and E. M. Haines of Lake, who last night re- j signed the chair, was unanimously nominated j as a democratic candidate. It is believed he will be elected. THE LATEST. Parcel of Judges Who Will Plead Guilty and Pay Fines Respectively. Chicago, Jan. 22. The recount of ballats, ju*t completed bv the county special grand jury, shows defin itely that the proposition to appropriate $100, 000 for an additional police force, declared by the investigating board to have been car ried, was in reality lost by several hundred votes, and that through fraud, aided by stu pidity and carelessness, $100,00U of the city funds have been misappropriated. Not a single precinct of the 171 in the city was found from which a perfectly correct return of the votes on police appropriation was made, and the proposition actually received over 14.000 votes less than were credited to it by the canvassing board. The Daily News is authority for the state ment that an indictment will he voted against about 75 per cent, of the 514 judges who served at the election. They w ill not be indicted jointly but severally. The clerks of the election are not to he indicted. The ex pectation. it is stated, is that the indicted judges will be fined from $10 to $50 each, and that a majority of them will go into court, plead guilty and pay their fines. The county special grand jury has voted to indict 255 judges in the recent election for permitting carelessness and frauds through which the appropriation of $100,000 lor an additional police force, was made to apuear carried by a majority of 14,000, when m real ity the proposition was defeated by several hundred votes, The number of judges to be indicted includes about three-quarters of all who served. County Clerk Ryan aud Jus tices Scully and Kerstein, who composed the canvassing board, are also to be indicted. SEN ATOR CONGER Reports Favorably a Rill to Promote llie Efficiency of the Revenue Ma rine Service. Washington.

The sec retary is also authorized to place on waiting orders on one-half of the regular pay, or to drop from the rolls, with one year's full pay. any officer of the revenue marine who shall be" found to be disabled, but whose disability is not an incident of service.

The chair laid before the Senate a com munication from the secretary of war, trans mitting, in response to a resolution of the Senate, a report showing the estimated cost of removing the Green Jacket shoals in the harbor of Providence, R. I. The amount is stated at 9112.346. Mr. Frve, from the committee on com merce, reported favorably the bill recently introduced by himself for the encouragement of the American merchant marine, and to promote the postal and commercial relations with foreign countries. The bill was placed on the calendar. The Oklahama resolutions of Messrs. Plumb and Vest were placed before the Senate. Mr. Vest withdrew his resolution. In doing so, he took occasion to say there could be no doubt whatever that as the laws stood, Oklahama lands were not at this time subject to settlement by white people. The Presi dent, therefore, was unable to do otherwise than he had done. Mr. Dawes wished to obviate the shedding of blood, but the supremacy of the law w as one thing upon which there could be no pos sible question. It must be maintained at whatever cost, lie had observed with regret that the Western legislature advocated the immediate opening of the Oklahama lands, and that elsewhere the President wa* charged with violating the law in the course he had pursued. This was simply taking the side of law breakers. Mr. Plumb believed that most of the peo ple that went into the Oklahama country 1 went there under the conviction that they had a legal right to do so. Mr. Plumb's rosoluti »n calling on the President for hi* view* of the present status of the Oklahama land* was then agreed to. Mr. Vest then re-offered his resolution directing the secretary of the treasury to ascertain and report upon what terms the Creek and Seminole Indians would surren der all their remaining rights to the land* in question. He requested that the resolution lie over till tomorrow, when he would make it more comprehensive. The resolution was laid over accordingly. The Senate then went into executive ses- i sion and later adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Cobb of Indiana, presented the confer ence report on the Oregon Central forfeiture i bill, and it was agreed to. The House recedes from its disagreement to all Senate amendments. The House then at 12.20 went into commit* J tee of the whole on the Indian appropriation bill. On motion of Mr. Ellis of Louisiana, an amendment w as adopted directing the secre- j tary of the interior to prepare a list ot all approved and pending claims of citizens on account ot Indian depredations, and report the same to Congress the first Monday in December next. Mr. Rockwell of Massachusetts brought up the matter of the open letter written to Mr. Ellis by C. C Painter, charging that the ap propriations made for the Montana Indians j were insufficient. He criticised the speech made a few days ago by Mr. Ellis, in which the latter declared that the statements made in the letter were false He said that Mr. Painter was a gentleman of unstained record and of integrity, which had never been im peached. He called upon Mr. Ellis to show wherein the statements made in the letter I were false. Mr. Ellis replied that when he spoke, after the previous question had been ordered, if he did not brand C. Painter with a falsehood ie would make him an ample apology. On motion of .Mr. Mazanare* of New Mex-1 ico, an amendment w as adopted appropriating 825,000 for the erection of an Indian indus trial school at Santa Fe, N. M. Mr. Cutcheon of Michigan offered an amendment providing that any Indian com mitting against the person or property of j another Indian or any person any of the fol lowing crimes—murder, manslaughter, rape, assault with intent to kill, arson, burglary and larceny, shall be subject to the laws of the territory in which such crime is commit ted. ami shall be tried therefor in the same courts ami in the same manner, and shall be subject to the same penalties as are other persons charged with the commission of said crimes, and permitting Indians to prosecute j in any court any civil action at law and equity; adopted. On motion ot Mr. Throckmorton of Texas, an amendment w as adopted giving the U S. district court tor the western district of Ar- kansas civil jurisdiction over the five civilized tribes of Indian T ZOAE.

Subject: “Does the Dairy Business of our State, thus far developed, warrant the encouragement by the Board of a further Ex pansion Mr. Gilbert held that it did and said that the business conld be safely extended. It was stated that Maine dairymen had a great advantage over those in the west owing to the nearness ot the Boston and New York markets. He advised the manufacture of first class articles and that the Board instead of maintaining a conservative course in re lation to this interest as in the past, take a decided stand and advocate measures for the extention of the business. The almost uni form success of the butter factories was re marked. A discussion followed in which Mr. Harris, Dr. North of Augusta, Mr. G. M. Giwell, farm sup rintendent at the State College, and others, took part. Their views were substantially in accord with Mr. Gilbert’s.

Conditions In any of the foregoing classes a first and second premium may be offered and continued one, two and three years. Classes one and two shall be open to general competition. Class three to boys between 14 and 20 years of age. In class two the awards shall he based upon that system of farm ac c Hints which most simply ami accurately re pre-.»nts th»- business of the farm for the year, and in this i.Ttss the b inks of accounts shall he considered the requisite report to the society, in class three the experiment shall he reported, and three awards made annually. In all eases complete and specific reports shall he made by competitors to their society, ami the same, together with report of awards shall be forwarded to the society of the Board of Agriculture, the receipt of which, in satisfactory form, shall he evidence that the specified conditions have been fulfilled, and shall entitle the society so reporting, to its full apportionment of tile State bounty. The committee to draft resolutions in re gard to the subject presented in the morning, responded as follows Voted, That in view of the favorable con ditions existing in Maine for a promis ing enlargement of the dairy interests as presented hy increased herds of improved stocks, by productive grass fields and fair pasturage, together with easy access to large ami remunerative markets for high dairy products, it is the judgment of the Board that the dairy industry in our State ran be largely extended with safety and profit to Maine farmers. Voted- That the Board approve the action of the legislative committee on agriculture in its report Kiel n- efiorrs for the establish ment ot an K\p.-i n ut -station at the Maine Stale College ot \g-i'-ulture and Mechanic Arts, and that it also favors in ac ordance with the recommendations of the Uovernor, a generous and cordial support of the college. The following resolve came up and a dis cussion resulted Resolved, That it lie the sense of the Board that the State be called upon to make a lib eral appropriation to be expended in judicious premiums fur the encouragement of breeding dairy stock and further development ol the dairy interests of Maine.

With the bulk of our people,the saving of small amounts in some regular sys tematic way, opens the only possibility of attaining a competency or a little sum for a rainv (lay. Some one has said it is the first $50,000 on the way to fortune that means hard work and pinching economy. After that all is easy. And it is so; whether we gain fortune or not, the start always involves small and sharp economy. Where this is practiced it often becomes the basis of after prosperity. But where this does not follow it provides for the emergencies that are sure to come to all. There are ways of saving which can be adopted, and which, once entered on, be come habitual and easy. Of course, the beginning ot all saving is to live within our means. If we have debts to offset our savings, we do not save at all. Hence, forecast as to the use of our income, so that it shall come within our range, is first. And when it is determined how much to save, the most rigid discipline is necessary to keep it up. There are always, in a family, special de mands, covering things pleasant to have and which, if acceded to, will easily’ eat up the margin we had set apart for sav ings. The rigid control of our wants is, therefore, a first element in a course of saving. This may involve privation, at least for a time, but this is a necessity if we propose to save at all. It is easy to persuade ourselves that certain gratifica tions are necessities, which may not be so at all. Hence, firmness, even to rigidity, is a first element in saving. And once begun, unless unforseen and imperative requirements are made, we should not swerve from our plans. A dollar a week saved and placed in a savings bank will aggregate $52 a year. Let us suppose 4 per cent is obtained for it. At the end of the second year it ag gregates over $106. In twenty years it will amount to over $1500. Five dollars a week saved and placed at interest will speedily buy a home. Many devices have been provided to stimulate saving. Building loans, savings banks, life insurance, and many other things Any are good, if reliable and sound. It is the discouragement resulting from the loss of savings, which has done so much damage in this country. But when our moneys are placed in sound in stitutions, loss rarely follows. And where the habit of saving is established it affects the life, inducing regularity and order in all directions.—Philadelphia Call Frozen Kindness. The world is full of kindness that never was spoken, and that is not much better than no kindness at all. The fuel in the stove makes the room warm, but there are great piles of fallen trees lying on rocks and on tops ot hills where nobody can get them these do not make anybody warm. You might freeze to death for want of wood in plain sight of these fallen trees if you had no means ot getting the wood home and making a lire of it. Just so in the family; love is what makes the parents and children, the brothers and sisters happy. But if they take care never to say a word about it; if they keep it a profound secret as if it were a crime, they will not be much happier than if there was not any love among them the house will seem cool.even in summer, and if you live there you will envy the dog when any one calls him poor fellow.

Pepperton, Dec. 20.— The near ap proach of Christmas calls to mind the curious experience in this village on Christ mas eve one year ago. of the late Rev. Eleazer Crawford. Many of the facts concerning this experience are public property, while others, which were told to the writer by the Rev. Mr. Crawford's widow, just previous to her death, Oct. 25th last, are now made known for the first time. The single church in this vil lage was the first and only charge Mr. Crawford ever had He entered the min istry when nearly 40 years old, after an unsuccessful business career. His inex perience was impressed upon him when Trustees Lemuel Carter, Johnson Higbe. and Amos Jackson called upon him in his dingy home in West Twentieth-Street, New York, and engaged him. “We will give you $550 a year and a donation,” said Trustee Higbee. “and if you make a go ot preaching and we like you, why, maybe we will give you more next year.” The Rev. Mr. Crawtord was anxious to enter upon the work he had chosen and accepted the offer. He was kindly and good, and thought that he and his cheery English wife could live with their three children on that salary. They knew noth ing of country lile, and Mr. Crawford’s idea of a donation extended sofaronly that he knew what the word meant in the ab stract. They came here in June, l»»a. and gradually grew into the favor and good will of the 1,200 people who make this village their home. They lived, of course, in the parsi nage, which is considered a very comfortable house. There is no well and no cistern. Drinking water has to be carried from a well in the yard of Jo Long,the saloon keeper, who lives next door, and rain water is caught in tubs and barrels set under the ends of the wooden eaves troughs. The woodshed is in the rear of the parsonage some 10 feet, and there is no barn. Air. Crawford kept neither a horse nor cow, and needed no barn. Accustomed as they had been to city conveniences, they found the work inseparable from housekeeping very hard, but they bore that, as they did most troubles, patiently and without murmur ing. ft was at the November meeting of the trustees that the question came up, and Christmas eve was selected as the time. After the evening service the next Sunday Trustee Carter took the pastor one side and told him about the donation. “You've done pretty well.considering,” said Trustee Carter, as he worked his arms into his heavy overcoat and drew it up over his shoulders, "and we are going to give you a first-class donation party.” “Yes,” said the pastor, tentatively. Mr. Crawford liked his trustees, but they were different from the men he had been accus tomed to, and there was never the good fellowship between them and the minister, that existed between the trustees them selves and their fellow members in the church. “1 don't suppose,” continued Trustee Carter, “that you ever saw a donation •T never did,” said Mr. Crawford, with a little laugh. “And don’t know anything about how they’re run “No, not much,” answered the minis ter, flushing a little, and looking as if he thought he ought to know just what a do nation party was. “Oh, well, you’ll know all about those things when you've been longer in the business,” said Trustee Carter good naturedly. “You see, ministers have to live, like everybody else, though the Bible does say, "Take no thought for your meat.’ If a minister doesn’t have things, he has got to buy them, like other folks. Now,we usually raise all sorts of stutf.you know, and once a year we give to our minister a lot of vegetables and things of that sort, that he’d have to buy, otherwise. It’s just the same as so much more salary, only it’s easier for us, and just as good for him” “Why,I should think that was an excel lent plan.” said Mr. Crawford, with a good deal of interest. “It must-” “Yes. its a tip-top plan'” said the trus tee. “You see, we’ll all come to your house in the evening—it will be Christ mas eve. this year—and we’ll bring this stuff and leave it, and also some cooked victuals, and have asupperand a first rate time. The women folks will drop in in the afternoon and bring things that they make themselves, anil we men folks will get around to supper.” “Kleazer told me about the donation when he came home.” said Mrs. Crawford one day not long before she died, "and I I said it was just as they did in Bible times, i when they set apart a portion of the fruit of their toil as a thank offering, only 1 couldn’t see how so many people were going to get into our little house.” There was capital sleighing the week j before Christmas, but the minister and his wife staid indoors, setting their house in order for the donation. They were a j little nervous when the day came, and i wished it over. It was nearly 3 o’oclock l when a big sleigh drew up in front of the parsonage and Widow Selina Archibald climbed out. Her hired man dropped the I reins and followed her up to the door, staggering under the weight ot a great earthen jar. The minister opened the door and wel comed Mrs. Archibald, while the hired man stepped inside and put the big jar on the floor. “I’ve brought you some quince pre serves. said Mrs. Archibald to Mrs. Craw ford. “They’ve just begun to turn, but if you heat them over they’ll be all right again.” “Thank yon,” said the minister’s wife with as much warmth as she could muster under the reflection that neither she nor any member of her family could tolerate quinces. The two ladies went through into the parlor, and the minister tugged and pulled the great jar through into the pan try and down the cellar stairs. Just then Trustee Jackson drove up with his wile and six great pumpkins. "Them's aw ful good pumpkins,” said the Trustee, as he set the golden globes on the steps an drove away saying he had got to go down to the mill and would be back by and by. The min ister carried the pumpkins down into the cellar and got back in time to meet Mr. Higgins, the blacksmith, who brought his wife and a set ot very heavy tongs, shovel and poker, which he assured the minister be had hammered out himself. Mrs. Hig gins had a tin pan full of caraway-seed cookies, a paper bag full of pickles and a frosted cake. She also had her two chil dren, one of whom, she told Mrs. Craw ford, was probably coming down with the measles. The other child narrowly es caped falling down the cellar steps, a dis aster which Mrs. Crawford judged from Mrs. Higgins’s manner she would have been held responsible for. (To be continued.) A Sensation of relief is sure to follow the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and thousands thankfully acknowledge its good effects. Charles C. Smith, Craftshury, Vt„ says: “I have been troubled, for a long time, with a humor, which appeared on my face in ugly pimples and blotches. Ayer's Sarsa parilla cured me. I consider it the best blood purifier in the world.” of the feelings of Mrs. T. P. Cushing, 87 Suffolk st., Chelsea, who, after being so afflicted with Salt Rheum that her fingers would crack open, and bleed and itch ter ribly, was cured by four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Mrs. E. G. Evans,78 Carver >t., Boston, Ma.-s., suffered severely from rheumatism and debility. Ayer's Sarsapa rilla proved a specific in her case. Francis Johnson, Editor of the "German Ameri can." Lafayette, Ind., writes: For years I have been subject to chronic attacks of neuralgia, especially at the commencement of spring. I have derived great benefit from Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.” It has Saved and restored thousands. Walter Barry, 7 Hollis st.. Boston, Mass., after vainly try ing a number of medicines, for the cure of lumbago, was persuaded to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. He writes: “Your valuable medicine not only relieved me, but I be lieve it has worked a perfect cure, although my complaint was apparently chronic.” Tlios. Dalby, Watertown, Mass., has long been a sufferer from lumbago and rheu matism. So great has been his improve ment since Using In Court one who needs help is indeed fortunate who finds tt friend. But he is still more fortunate who discovers that he may eradicate the poisons of scrofula from his system by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Scrofula is one of the most terrible of ail diseases. It is in-the blood, corrupt'ne and contaminating every tissue and fli er in the whole Inidy. Patrick Lynch Wholesale Grocer. Lowell, Mass, says. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the best The following, from R L King. Richmond. Va is corroborated by Purcell, Ladd Co druggists, of that city. Mr K writes (May 12, 1KS4': "My son Thomas, aged 12, has suffered horribly, for three years, with scrofula, in its worst form His case was said to be incurable, t n•• arm was useless; his right leg was paraiyzed; a large piece of bone had cut through the skin at the shoulder-blade, and three large sores constantly discharged offensive mat ter. He began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla on the titli of March, and. oh, what a Happy change; indeed, a miracle. In a few weeks the sores began to heal; he gained strength, and could walk around the house. We persevered with the Sarsa parilla, yet having little hope of his re covery. To-duv he can run as far as any other boy of his age. The sores on his rrn, shoulder, and back, have nearly healed, his muscles are strengthening, and lie is the picture of health.” Equally important facts concerning the use of Ayer’s Sar Ayer’s Sar saparilla saparilla that he has every reason to be lieve it will effect a permanent cure. by other members of Mr. Kind's family, are contained in the same letter.
