V«-l» to Congress.
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

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

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. ,

Faris, June 00.—At a meeting of
the Bonapartists to-day the will of the
late Prince Imperial was read, but no
decision arrived at respecting the fu
ture course of the party. A fleputa-
tion from the mooting communicated
the will to Pilnce Jerome Bonaparte,

makes tho following declaration:
Prince Jerome Napoleon Is recognized
as the chief of the Napoleonic dynasty
and consequently cljlef of tbe Bona-
partlst party. He cannot fall to re
ceive the resolute and devoted sup
port of all faithful to the Empire.
This declaration is made by advice of
M. Rouher, but It le doubtful whether
all Imperialists will rally around
Prince Jerome, who will probably con
tinue to maintain his silent attitude.
Explosive Harpoons.
Old geographies, and some new
ones, for that matter, have very Im
pressive pictures of whale fishing, with
a man standing in the prow of the
boat hurling a harpoon at the nnfor-
tunate fish. These pictures now must
be reconstructed. Tho harpoon has
been supplanted by a bomb, which Is
fired from a gun and exploded In the
whalei The latest Is described as a
lance which weighs seven and one-
half pounds, and contains one and one-
quartet pounds of powder, and is pro
pelled by a heavy rocket. A chain
toggle attacbed to the front end of
the rocket Is released by the explosion,
securely holding tho whale, which, if
not Instantly killed, cannot long sur
vive the explosion.
A Railroad Marvel.—The prepara

the work of shifting the rails, along

from St. Lous to Texsskana. nearly
seven hundred miles, had been changed
from five feet to the standard guage
of four feet eight and one half Inches.
The locomotives and cars had also
been altered to correspond, and trafflo

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

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. Yeeterday
