Tho Election and the Speaker.

"EDIsTo," the Washington letter-vriter
to the Charleston Ersaing Ne,os, gives the
following illustration of the excitement
which prevailed when tho last vote for
Speaker vas being taken:
Tho crowd during the session YVES i'm
rnense, both on the floor and in the gale
ries. In the galleries little boy was pres.
sed against the front rail 30 tight that he
could not State his condition. Tho men,
bers OIL the floor witnessed the lower part of
his body pressed out through the rail, from
the immense weight of persons against
him. A cry Immediately proceeded from
the floor: "You will kill that boy; put hin;
over the railing" The blockheads in tho
gallery made room to lift him out of his
precarloas location, and were, in the inten-
slty OF the excitement. about to throw him
down on the floor. The cry then was
Don't throw him down. you will kill bimI'
tic was then removed from the gallery,
and was found not to be much hurt. Such
frantic yclls from legislative bodies were
never before heard.
The same writer thus speaks Of the new
Speaker:
Mr.. Bank, tho Speaker elect, is a man
OF considerable ability. He has been a
workman in n factory at one time. But
seven years ago he was an Inspector of the
boston Custom House. Then be was elee-
ted to the House of Representatives, Of
Massachusetts. He was afterwards elected
10 the Senate and House at the san:s time
from different townships. He concluded to
take his seat in the popular branch, and
was elected Speaker of it. He was then
elected to the State Convention for re.mod.
Cling the Constitution, of which BODY ho
was elected President. lie was then sent
to the National House of Representatives.

batter. During his first session he made the
great speech OF that period in favor of abol.

ure through the House, and resulted in il
becoming a law,

tied the Legislature Of Massachusetts whilst
Mr. Banks WIS Speaker, says he was one of
the finest presiding officers that he had ey.

most every side Of the question, and Is now
deadly antagonistical to the institutions Of
the South. Apart from his political opin-
ions, he is a very clever gentleman. This Is
a fair sketch of the first Abolition Speaker
that has ever occupied the position.

Cured that touched every beholder's heart with
pity. y comparatively young lady, dressed in
deep mourning-her husband having recently
died-was travelling southward, havirg in her
care and keeping young daughter Of six or
seven years. The little girl was mild as an au-
tumnal sky, and as delicate as the hyacinth-
her elnacated fingers as delicate and transparent at
as the pearls of Ceylon. Touchingly beautiful
was the affection Of her heart for the mother,
whose solIctude fer the daughters comfort was
increasingly manifested.
Looking ever and anon from the car window
she turned to her mother and said
"Mother, ! am weary-when shall we get
homer"
After awhile she fell into gentle slumber,
and awaking suddenly. a radiant smile over
spread her features, she exclaimed looking up

CFrom the Richland County Observer ]
VISIT TO THE CAVE.

Nr. Sdnderson:-One dav last week party
of some twenty or thirty of the citizens of this
place. including myself started to visit the cave
which is situated about ! - miles in south
easterly direction from the village Of Richland
Center, on a high bluff The mouth or opening
of the cave is about three-four;hs Of the way up
the bluff. On our arrival, our worthy friend E.
(who by the way IS always foremost is such
matters) commenced making the descent, close
" followed by several Of the others, to assist
him in case of emergency. We followed our
friend E. through various crooks and turns until
we found ourselves at the bottom of the cave,
which is obout 20 or so feet from the surface
and in n passage about six feet wide, and from
25 to 80 feet high. We travelled this passage
or hall l shoul Judge some 500 or 400 feet. when
we were apparently brought to stand-still.
However, upon looking up we saw an opening
through the top of the passage or hall, and COM
menced ascending. We climbed | should think
some ten feet, when we found ourselves in a
chamber some ID feet long, fourteen feet wide.
and or 10 feet high. In the centre of this
chamber there was n large pyramid OF ice, it
being some 55 or 20 feet under ground. On the
ceiling of the chamber were innumerable bats
with their wings so closely locked together that
it was almost impossible to separate them. At
ter having made full examination Of this sec
ton of the cave, we retraced steps, and on
arriving within twenty feet of the mouth, we
discovered an opening, and concluded to go in.
In we went The descent into this cave OF sub
terranean passage was of more gradual nature
than the first, and person could easily walk
upright and proceed very comfortably. After
going through this passage for more than 300
feet we founa that it branched out in various
directions At one time you could see a person
standing on shelf of rock about twenty feet
over your head. and then again you might look
on either side and see our company scattered il
every direction. We did not 60 into full ex-
/ animation Of this part of the cave, but should
/ Judge it to be far larger th7n the first. 1t i,
certainly great natural curiosity. No person
can depict the voluminous beauty of the cave
as it appears when lighted with numerous
/ torches but must be seen to be appreciat ed
There is constant current OF air passing
through the entire length, and can be Travelled
with perfect safety, and is bound ere long to b'
an object of much attraction.

her out some hours before she had lain down
to listen bers so that she might creep back, TO
her bed But before she heard it, nature seem

with the rain drops pattering upon her. l tried
TO take her home with me; but no, true as a
martyr to his faith, she struggled from my arms
and returned to the now dark and silent cabin.
Things went on SO for weeks and months. But
at length Lee grew less violent, even in his
drunken fits, to his self denying child; and enc
day when he awoke from a heavy slufnber afte,.
a debauch and found her preparing breakfast
for him, a singing childish song, he turned to
her, and With tone almost tender. said
