Washington, July 1.—Tbe President has approved tbe bill makiug appro priations for tbe judicial expenses, but vetoed tbe bill making appropri ations to pay theieen of United States Marshals and their general deputies. The President says that the bill con tains restrictions similar to those in that heretofore vetoed, and concludes his message as follows : In order to secure Its enactment the same measure is again presented for my approval, coupled in the bill before me with appropriations for the sup port of marshals and their deputies during the next fiscal year. The ob ject manifestly is to place before tbe Executive this alternative, either to allow tho necessary functions of the public service to be crippled or sus pended for want of the appropriations required to keep them in operation, or to approve legislation which In an offi cial communication to Congress he has declared would be a violation of constitutional duty. Thus in this bill tbe principle Is clearly embodied that by virtue of the provision of the Con stitution which requires that all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives, a bare majority of the House has the right to witbold appropriations for the support of the Government, unless the Execu tive consents to approve any legisla tion which may be attached to appro priation bills. I respectfully refer to tbe communications oh this subject which I have sent to Congress during the present session for the statement of the grounds of my conclusions, and desire here merely to repeat that, in my judgment, to establish the prin ciple of this bill is to make a radical, dangerous and unconstitutional change In the character of our institutions. I suppose you really love those rough, leading brothers of yours, but don’t you think you might show it a little more pleasantly ? I can tell you I know all about boys. 1 was brought up in. a house full of them. I have enough In my own bouse this minute to keep things from getting dull and stupid. I know just bow rough and noisy and heedless they are; how they forget to wipe their feet on muddy days, throw their caps and scarfs on tbe floor, and leave their books in the queerest places, to be hunted up at the last moment before school-time. I know bow they whittle on the car- pete, paste kites on tbe chair seats, daub the table covers with paint and spill mucilage on tbe bed and bureau. I know how they come In with a whoop, and clatter up stairs like so many Are engines the moment the baby goes to sleep, and how they are always leaving the doors open, and cutting and burning and blowing themselves up. But for all that we could not spare them from our homes very well, could we ? and isn’t there something wrong In the family when sisters call their brothers “ nui sance?” Yes that’s the very word she used, and I’ve remembered it tbeae half dozen years, for the speaker was a pretty, delicate little girl, and I was astonished to hear her say : ” A boy In a family of girls Is a perfect nui sance.” The nuisance came home presently; a hearty, looking boy of eleven or twelve, whist ling some song with all bis spare breath. He stopped suddenly as he saw me, and came fotward awkwardly enough to speak to me, for he was evi dently unaccustomed to meeting com pany. Unfortunately his foot came in contact with his elder sister’s dress, soiling Uslightly. “ You clumsy thing,” Wliiclt fflakcs nil the IRiflcrcnce. A man was denouncing newspaper advertising to a crowd of listeners. “ Last week,” said he, “ I had an um brella stolen from the vestibule of the church. It was a gift, and valuing it very highly, I spent double its worth in advertising, but have not yet recov ered It.” “ How did you word your advertise ment?” asked a moichant. “Here it Is,” said the man, produ cing a slip cut from a newspaper. The merchant took it end, .read 4 “Lost in the vestibule of the church, last Sabbath evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who took it will be handsomely rewarded by leaving It at No — San Fernando street,” “Now,”said the merchant, “ I am a liberal advortiser, and have always found that it paid me well. A great deal depends on the manner In which an advertisement is put Let us try for your umbrella again, and if you do not acknowledge then that adver tising pays, I will purchase you a new one.” The merchant then took a slip of paper from his pocket and wrote : “ If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the vestibule of the —-church last Sabbath evening does not wish to get into trouble and have a stain cast upon bis chrlstaln charac ter which he values so highly, he will jeturn It to No. San Fernando , street. He Is well known.” Thisdnly appeared In tbe paper, and on the fol lowing morning the man was aston ished wten opened the front door of He residence.' On'fhe poVch lay at least a dozen umbrellas of all shades And kfusa that bad been thrown in from (tbe eldewalk, while the * front c 40 a m jArd frhs HtcraHy pAved with umbrel* them had notes attach ed to them, saying that khey had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser to keep the affair quiet. was the impatient exclamation, “ you ought to be kept In a cage.” I looked from the burning face of the boy, and tried to fancy how sweet ly that sister would have assured an older gentleman that It was of ng,con- sequence at all, and was entirely her owu fault for taking up«o much room, la au arm chair one of the younger sisters was curled up, examining with great interest a new magazine. An ex clamation df delight brought her brother to her side, and be was soon absorbed in tbe engravings, looking over her shoulder. “ Walt just a second," he begged, as she was turning a page. l> Oh, you always want t© see some thing,” said tho sister, fretfully. “ I hate to have any one look over my shoulder.” Bo It was from morning until night. There was not a place in that house, so far as I could see, where the hoy was wanted, or a person who wanted him, and I wondered if the dear, dead mother knew how it was, and whether it would not make her heart ache, even in Heaven, to see it. If the sis ters walked, or rode, or sang, or play ed croquet, no one ever said, “come Johnny.” And I really suppose that they thought he did not care for their laughing and teasing and snubbing, just because he was a boy, and was too brave to show that be cared. I found out another thiug, too, and that was that the nuisance was very con venient whe* the pony was to be har nessed, the pitcher to be filled with cool water, a bundle to be carried down town or a disagreeable errand to be done ; yet I never beard any one say “ thank you, Johnnie, It was kind in you to take the trouble.” No doubt he would have stared If they had said so, but I think he would have liked it, and I think It would tmTe helped him to be polite himself. “ Wby don’t you thank that boy for bringing your hat?” I asked of a pleasant little girl. “ Why, that’s our Tom,” she ex claimed, as if that Was reason enough for not being polite to him. “ I wish I had a sister,” said a boy to his companion, In my hearing. “ It must be so nice to have sisters of your own.” “ That’s because you don’t know,’* said his companion. “I tell you they plague a fellow the worst way, and tho bother of it Is, you have to take H, because you know you daren’t lick ’em.” v • That made me think of a little fel low whom I once charged with cruelty for pulling out the long # I|g^ o( A ( grasshopper. t ; - ” It don’t hurt him,” was his de fence, “and he don’t squeal neiver— course If it hurt him, he*d pay somefln ’boutlt.’* These brothers of yours will not al ways say when you hurt them by un kind, careless words, but they feel It all the same, and it hurts in another way, by gradually chilling their love for you, and making them hard-heart ed and careless of the ccfafort of others. , - I tell you, girls, you cannot sfford to loose your brothers la this way.

Queen Victoria's bounty of fifteen dollars for every case of triplets ap pears to have had a very stimulating effect in all parts of her extensive do minions. She has hitherto confined the reward to cases occurring in Great Britain, but the wffe of an honest Ger man farmer in the colony of South Australia has recently presented an extremely strong appeal for an exten- tsnslon of the bounty beyond tbe lim its of the little Island. Jacob Schuler, a farmer, residing about thirty miles from the town of Kapunda, South Au stralia, appears to have attracted no attention beyond the circle of hie friends, who were few and far between in the thinly settled region where he and his fellow-colonists from Gertn&ny had settled. HU wife, on the other hand, attracted attention wherever she went, and well she might, if the re ports concerning her size, weight and achievements In thtf way of increasing the population are correct She Is said to stand six feet four thchto In her stockings, and to turn the balahCe at exactly 244 pound and seven ounces. She gave bhth to a girl and boy In March, 1873, and two boys and one girl In September, 1876, one child being born between these two great events, a fact deemed of so little importance in her remarkable eflorts to Increase the population of her adopted country that local chroniclers bsvs not thought it worth their time to faralsh the ex act date of Its occurrence. Her crown ing effort, however, and one that would, had she lived In America, at once gained for her tbe title of cham pion child-producer, took place lo Oc tober, 1878.. She gave birth to three boys and two girls. Every one pres ent appears to have been greatly as tonished, for, although Mrs. Sobuler bad already made a reputation In tills line, so great an event was utterly un expected. The father of the Are Is said to have sat stupidly down and mechanically gazed from one babe to another, simply saying, “ Mein Gott 1 mein Gott l” There were three boys and two girls, but no facts as to their weight and appearance immediately after birth are given. All of them are alive, and are said to be very healthy. Thanks to the wise provision of the Yankee in introducing tbe nursing bottle, they have all been provided with an abundance of that fluid so necessary to the ftu&Lehance of infant life. The neighbors of the Schulers donated various small articles and money to assist the family, and a six penny Subscription has been started In the colony for their benefit. It will probably yield enough to dothe, sup port and educate thh five until they reach a self-supporting age, judging by the result of a similar subsetiptios made In tbe colonies for Pierce, the sole male survivor of the terrible Loch Ard shipwreck, abd who rendered him self worthy of it by swimming back Into tbe surf about 200 yards and as sisting Miss Charmlcbnsl, tbe Only one of tbe passengers of that ill fated ves sel that escaped, to reach the Shore. That subscription amounted to nearly 810,000, and it is probable that the fund for the famous five will equal If not exceed It, for when tbe Australian people undertake to do a thing they usually accomplish It. A full account of tbe case has been transmitted to the Secretary for the colonies at Lon don, in order that it may be laid before the Qneen, and Victoria, herself the mother of a large family, will ns doubt suitably reward her fruitful subject Michael Hegatty, the Au- straillan Barnum, Is said to Rave of fered Mr. Schuler $250 a week and al* expenses of himself, wife and five chil dren to travri, but the offer was de- oliood. The Esseace of Falsehood. It should be pointed out with con tinual earnestness that the essence of lying Is in deception, not In words ; a Ho may be told by silence, by equivo cation, by the accent on a syllable, by tbe glance of the eye attaching a pe culiar significance to a sentence; and all these kind of lies are worse and baser by man? degrees tban a lie plainly worded ; so that ho form of blinded conscience Is so far sunk as that which comforts itself for having deceived, because tho deception Was by gesture or silence instead of utte rance ; and finally, according to Ten nyson's ttenchant Itbe, M A lie which is half a truth Is ever the Worst of lies.—Ruskln. * ~ " . * OP .

At 9 o’cfock yesterday morning any person observing Mount Hood could have noticed wttb the naked eye a changing cloud of smoke that bong upon the south side of tbe mountain far above the snow line and climbing almost to tbs summit. On observing thla carefully with a glass ft was plain ly to be seen that the smoke changed its form and movement constantly, apparently pouring out of theaouth side of the mountain from half to one quarter of a mile below tbe summit. Those who have asceuded tbe moun tain locate the site of an old crater os on the southwest side some distance below tbe summit. They have to cress this locality to make the ascent, and always find sulphurous fumes issuing fiom (be crevices and tbe rookff heated by internil Ores. There Is he doubt that Mount Hood at times sends forth eruptions of smoke, though such manifestations are net of frequent occurrence, or, at least, are not often reported. We have lived within view ot the monntalo for nearly thirty years, and hate only once before—about fifteen years ago- seen unmistakable emission of smoke, wktota lasted about an hour, and came from the same part of the motmtsln that We observed it yesterday, and each thfle the fact of Its being smoke was not to be doubted. Fifteen years ago tbe phenomenon occurred upon n winter day, when the sky was blue, wkbeuta speck of otond lo fleekk, and the smoke streamed northward from the mountain In a dense black cloud. We have seen the tltne When excitement was created, some years ago, by tbe rumor that Mount Hood was smoking. A crowd gathered on a high roof and observed It with glasses, bat tbe phenomenon was caused by atmospheric conditions that drew tbe mists and fogs from tbe lower gorges and made them wreath aronnd the summit. The difference between this light-colored enveloping mlet, rising from the base of the mountain, and the black, sulphuious appearance of •moke pouring directly out of the side of It, from amobg the snows, Was evl dent to an? practical eye.
