Harboring s Yankee Spy, During the session ol an Important religious bedy In our city, I made the acquaintance ot the Kev. Mr. Dubuque, a delegate from one ol tbe Northwest­ ern states, says a writer in the Atlanta Constitution. What attracted me toward the man wtts his amiability and meekness. Mr, Dubuque cam«» up to my ideal of a preacher, and 1 fouud his companionship very pleasant. On* afternoon my friend asked me It I thought any of the bomb-proof dug by the citizens during the selge of At­ lanta were still In existence.* He desired to see one, ai lie Hafl been««. quested by his friends at home to sketch It. UI know of one that we can reach In a ten-minutes1 walk," I said. Mr. Dubuque was delighted, and we were soon on our way to the place. I had a slight acquaintance with the old lady updo whose premises the bomb>proof was situated, and when we reached the place and stated the object of our visit, permission was readily given to examine the queer looking bole In the ground which had served as a refuge from Sherman's shells. The bomb-proof, fortunately, was In a tine state of preservation, and the old lady pointed it out to us with a good deal of pride. At first we saw only a huge mound of earth covered with grass but at one end we found aa opening to a crooked underground chamber, about 3lx feet deep, ten feet long and tlvo In width. No tailing shell had sufficient force to penetrate that mound, com­ posed of red clay, timber, and scrap iron. When we scrambled out of the gloomy place the old lady remarked that when she occupied it the walls were lined with old carpets, and the floor was covered with rugs. With t few chairs and some blankets her fami ly had fouud a night in the dug out, as she called it, vc^y endurable, **Those were stirring times," said Mr. Dubuque. "They were, Indeed, replied our hostess. M( can never forgive Gen Sheridan for shelling a city full of women and children," "One of the necessities of war." said the preacher It) an undertone. By thf way, did any of your soldiers ever seek shelter In this snug little hole?" "Only one," replied the lady, "and he turned out to be a Yankee spy." "Is It possible!" her two listeners exclaimed. " Yes. I was never so surprised In my lite. One day the shelling was un­ usually hot. Two spent shells etruck tbe house. A soldier who was passing ran Into our yard and made for tbe bomb-proof. He requested our per mission to remain for a few minutes and of course-we had no objection He was a fine looking young man and made himself very agreeable. When he left be expressed a wish for some­ thing to read, and I lei him have "The Aid-de-Camp,' a confederate novel He promised to return it, but I did not expect to see It agaio." "And did lie return lt?M I asked. wYes, and I with he hadn't. Why. what do you thl nk ? Two weeks later after Sherman had occupied the city, I was out in my front yard one morniog looking after my plants, when who should rl<)e up to the fenoe but a young officer In a splnk spank new uniform. I wouldn't look at him until he saluted me, and said: 'Madam, I have called to return your book. I enjoyed It very much.* I took the book. It was tbe Atd-de-Camp.' Then I looked .the officer full in the face. 'So you were a 4py ?' I said. "That's what they call it replied the young rasoal* wlth.a laugh. OCR CONGRESSMAN SPEARS. Hon. A. J. Hopkins .made a vigorous speech 1q Congress last week, in which he presented the legal points of the controversy between Jacob Romeis and Frank Hurd for the seat from the Tenth Ohio (Toledo) Congressman District. Bomies was elected as a Re­ publican over Hurd, Democratic, by 239 majorty. Hurd contested the elec­ tion and made a desperate struggle to secure the seat. In the course of his speech he said: "The charge Is made that upon this Island Mr. Kelly, a man who had a large number of -laboring men in his employment, succeeded in intimida­ ting ihem into voting againet their own convictions aud in voting for Mr. Romeis as against Mr. Hurd. It has been my good fortune, Mr. Speaker, for many years to reside in a city and Congressional district where large manufacturing Interest are centered, and where many hundreds--ay, thous­ ands--of men go daily to their em­ ployment, and it Is my experience and observation that tins aUss of mon are the least susceptible to such influence. I think the workingmeu of America and more independent, that they have more integrity and more character than is usually assigned to them by those who think they can be intimlda ted Into voting against their con vie tious, or believe ihem capable of being influenced In favor of their employer by unworthy means. The glory of this country Is its free institutions and the fact that all the a/enues in business, politics and the professions are as open and Inviting to the hod-carrier's son as to his rich neighbor, It ia a knowledge of this which makes the laborer a more enterprising and inde­ pendent man. He looks forward to the day when his sons and daughters can take a little better and higher position in life than the one filled by himself. And as a result he reads more, thinks more. Is free and more Independent than the laborer of the Old World. In my own home the men who are employed In the railroad shops and in the different mills and manufactories are a class of citizens whom any man may well be proud to represent in this House. The majority of those who have reached middle life own their homes-their houses are well fur­ nished, and their hearthstones are the center of comfort and happiness. Their children haye grown up useful and intelligent cltizeus. Their boys and girls who have a taste for an edu tion have the facilities under our splendid common-school system of ac­ quiring it. Ar.d now some of our mosi prosperous young business men are sons of mechanics who worked in the shops and mills. Such men Mr. Speaker can not be drive i to the polls at the behest of any man or set of men They realize and appreciate the dig nlty of labor, and act and think for themselves." Af«er Mr. Hopkins bad concluded ttie House proceeded to a vote^on the ques­ tion, and Mr. Romeis will retain his sealTby a vote of 168 to 105. The.Politicians Mixing In. The politicians should let the labor disturbance alone. They will not tako the side of the police, and support tho p enforcement of law, for they are afraid ri to on account of "the labor vote." it is only a demagogue of the most dlsro* <| putable kind that, in this period of ^ excitement aud of peril, will eacoor- ij age the discontented7 eloment, Mi --^ stimulate it to the commission of ex- cesses. A meeting of the members'ef |J some labor organization waa bald at ! Washingtou Monday night, at which J such horny-handed toilers as Senator Dan Yoorhes of Indiana, and Con- gressman Weaver, of Iowa, were the pri nci pal orators. Congressman Far-» qubar,of the Buffalo (X. Y.) District, || was President of the meeting, but as a | practical printer and a member of tbo Typographical Union, there waa pro* (| priety In his appearance on the scene. | But for the men who never worked ex- ; ̂ cept with their jaws in talking or eat- Ing. or with their brains in planning ^ political trickery, to appear aa the mouthpieces of labor was rldiooloos >| beyond description. The present excitement In tne ranks of labor Is at fever heat. This Is an J emergency when coolness,' level-head- l edness and prudence are above all | things most desirable. The men who encourage the disturbance and whose ;|j acts or words tend to stir up further ' trouble are public enemies. Tho poll* tleans, demagogues and blatherskites should keep out of the conflict and leave J it to be settle I by those whoee Inter* * • ests are directly involved in the reanlt. --Journal. How She Converted Rlas. v,? vj Several weeks ago the proprietors'of " j a machine foundry in this city learned | that their employes wanted to work *$§ under the eight hour rule. The latter || were told they might do aa they plena* p ed, provided they were willing to a©- ^ lept eight hours1 pay for eight hourS* J work. The proposition wa* agreed to, || uul the first day of trial *tl the men 41 except seven or eigh' went home early. The next day the number that remain- | ed was a ilule Hrger. and s<» on, until at the end of the week there, wasn't a? 1 man in the "establishment working ^ le*« than the usual time. One of the men who experimented with the eight hour rule in the instance above referred to. tell* how he came to ^ change his opinion with regard to J** long and short time work. We give ^ his story space, because it goes to show what *tn important factor of the labor^j problem home influence is. He says:'-j "The second day we tried tbe eight- tour plan, I went home and found my | wife sitting in the rocking chair* f leisurely reading the afternoon paper* | and there was not a sign of prepara- y tlon for supper. Of course I began to | expostulate with her about so unusual' a state of affairs; but she made tne feel $1 very blank when she looked up nnd^ | naively remarked that her day's work was over--that 6he was an 'eight hour I man,* The next day I was the last man ! | to leave the shop, and on coming homo | I found the table spread and the meal ^ awaiting me.":--Toledo Blade. The report of the Paytie Inves­ tigating committee caused no surprise at * aehington. It has been the belief there for weeks that the case would fldally come to the Senate of the United States for further Investiga­ tion and action. It is generally believ­ ed that Payne will be deprlvod of his seat If he does not resign, and many believe he will resign rather than be subjected to the rigors of a senatorial investigation. Payne assured a friend that he had uo fear of the consequences of an investigation there beciuse, he said with emphasis, he had nothing to dowith bribery If there was any brib­ ery,and that acts of his friends could not affect him or his right to his seat. This p^int is met by the statement of numerous senators who recently said that the purchase of legislative votes by others than Payne would deprive him of his seat In the Senate as surely as if they were bought by him. It might exculpate him from the parts of the law relating to bribery, but it would result in declaring vacant tbe official position be holds. m ,1 Solo Agents For C. M.

Calhoun once pointed to a drove of mules just from Ohio, and said to Corwin: "There go some of your constituents." "Ye8,n said Tom; gravely, "they are going down Souths to teach school." Gov. Brougb was once matched against Corwiu, and in ^ the mid-t of his speech said: "Gentle- 1 men, my honored opponent himself^ J while he preaches advocacy of bome |l industry, has a carriage at bnme whlcb^ he got iu England--had It shipped ^ across the ocean to him. How Is that 7 for supporting home industry and labor? J When Corwin came on the stand be '7 made a great show of embarrassment, stammered and began slowly: "Well, gentlemen, you have heard what my friend Mr. Brough has to say of my carriage. I plead guilty to the charges, and have only two things to say In mr defense. The first is that the carriage^ came to me from an English ancestor as an heirloom, and I had to take it. Again, I have not used It for seven years, and It has been standing in my back yard all thit time, and the chick­ ens have converted!", into a roost. Now, gentlemen" with a steady look at Brough, "I have nothing further to say in my defense; but I would like to know bow Brough knoira anything about my ca'riage if he has not been visiting my chicken roost.* IS** I he Preside"t has nominate# Caleb W.
