said "You deserve my contempt" then said, "Sir,
you are liar."--
| Mr.. WISE. That is not the fact.
| Mr.. Stanley. That is the state Of facts, as.
sert it before my constituents, before this House,
and before the world.
The gentleman then raised his hand and struck me;
and if the members of the House had not interfered
l would have given him the severe punishment
which he deserves for his insolence.
Mr.. Ingersol rose and offered the following reso-
luton:
Resolued, That Special Committee be appoint
ed TO inuure into the circumstances of the rencoun-
ire on the floor of the House between Mr. Wise and
Mr. Stanley, Members of this House, and to report
thereon to the House.
MIR. Andrews of Kentucky, said that at the last
Congress committee had been appointed on simi-
lar subject when similar occurrence had taken
place. How that investigation ended every body
knew. He was opposed to the appointment of
committee. He considered the former occurrence
disgraceful to the House. as he considered this
Hp thought that the two members engaged deserved
to be expelled, and he believed they should be ex
PEELED now, upon the spot, and without further de.
lay.
Cries in many parts of the House, "'Agreed-
agrecd."] ,s.->
There was no other way in which the House
could vndicate its character and its dignity. The
committee appointed in similar case at tire last
Congress had done nothing-had. recommended no.
:thing-and the indignity which had been offered 10
the House and the country went unpunished and un:
Iebuked He was for no committee-it would be
mere wllite-washing afair-a mere humbug, such
as we had heretofore had.
Mr.. Hopkins (after remark which the Reporter
could not hcaD moved the previous question.
Mr.. Andrews moved to lay the resolution Of Mr..
Ingersoll on the ublc, with view he said, if that
motion prevailed to offer the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the Hon. Henry A. Wise, a mem.
bcr of this House, having this day, by his own con.
fcssions on the floor of the House, while in session
in Committee of the Whole on the state Of the Un-
ion, committed an assault on the Hon. Edward
Stanley, be therefore expelled from the House.
Mr. Andrews moved to lay the resolution on the
table, for the reasons above stated by him.
Which motion was rejected. I'll.
The question then REQUIRED on the motion of MIR.
Hopkins for the previous question.
And there was q second.
And the main question (being on the resolution)
was ordered and being tiken-
The resolution, by ayes 124, noes not counted,
was adopted.
And the committee was ordered to consist of Sc
ven members. -

=. 9 mo. 2d. lS41.
Friends Gales and Seaton: noticed in
the Inlelligencer of to-day, under the head
"Atmospherical Phenomenon" an article
from the Nashville Banner, describing
what is stated to have been ''shower of;
flesh and blood" in the vicinity of Leba-
non, Tennessee The same account, or
similar one, has also been published in
several other papers. There are many
persons ofthal peculiar temperament that
| is unfavorably affected by intelligence of
so unusual and awful a character; to such
it may be relief,o learn that the phe-
nomenon alluded to finds its ready eXpla-
nation in a weIl-ascertained fact in the
economy of insects. In the interesting
and instructive works of Kirby & Spence,
on the Natural History of Insects" are
the following remarks, which explain the
whole subject:
"Many species of Lepidoptera, Butter
flies, when they emerge from the puPa
or chrysalisstate, discharge reddish fluid,
which, in some instances, where their
pumbers have been considerable, has pro-
duced The appearance ola shower ofbood
and by this natural fact. all those bloody
showers, recorded by historians as pre-
ternatural, and regarded, where they hap.
pened, as fearful Prognostics of impen-
ding evils, are stripped of their terrors,
and reduced to the class of events that
happen in the common course Of Nature.
That insects are the cause of these sup
posedl showers is no recent discovery; for
Sledian relates that, in the year 1852, IA
vast multitude Of butterflies swarmed
through great part of Germany, and
sprinked plants, leaves, buildings, clothes.
and men, with bloody drops, as if it had
rained blood. But the most interesting
account Of an event ofthis kind is given
by Reaumer, from whom we learn that, in
the beginning Of July, 1908, the suburbs
Of AK, and considerable extent of coun-
try round it, were covered with what aP-
peared to be shower ef blood: We may
conceive the amazement and stupor ofthe1
populace upon such a discovery, the
alarm of the citizens, the grave reasoning
Eofthe learned. All agreed however, in

interested me greatly. Amongstt the bet

points. This person, some months ago,
took particular interest in a young man,
also palient of good abilities, but imper-..
fectly educated, and given over to habits
of sloth and dindolence. From the senior
inmate the junior obtained, in the course

in reading, writing. and accounts, but hab-
its of occupation and attentions and de-
