how much fault he finds with them, and how
cross he is, if they aren't perfection itself?
Wouldn't she?
Mrs MADDEN didn't know, she was sure.
She believed, though, that in some of her
moods she wouldn't be a. all sorry if she hap
p+ned accidentally to do it.
They would try her, if the other scheme
failed, they concluded; and, by that time, they
were in the parlordoor, looking upon the large
company. Our strategists saw that Julia was
by the bow-window, still talking to Mrs. Adams
'She is fine-looking woman" said Mrs.
Cabot, with her eyes on Julias face and Mrs.
MADDEN was proud to hear her say it, much
prouder than if it had been said of herself
"She has altogether fine, noble look" pur-
sued Mrs. Cabot, her eyes still on her face
SIN half sorry we said What we did to Arthur.
For, if he is at loss what to do with himself
any time IN the course of the evening, it will be
Just like him to come down upon her with some
queer thing, that she won't know, for her life,
what to make Of"
Her eyes, full of apprehension, were search

Frightening every moment.
If he only will |" she answered, laughing
with wild, childlike glee. "If he does, only
hope Il may be there to see.' There'll be
tunes, you see, in the course of the evening,
when she won't know what to do with herself;
for she is one of those who like to have some
thing strong 20 on, now and then, to let her
soc that people are feeling and doing some
thing while they live. l hope he will say some
thing queer to her, that will set her to wonder
ing and studying him, and saying some of her
queer things back again"
She laughed once more, thinking of it.
They concluded. after little more consults-
ton, that Mrs. Cabot should not 60 near Julia
at present; that she should remain amongst
the company in the front psrlor; and then Ju-
liza would have no clue to the Identification of
her brother

House, except motion to adjourn. But that
class of business which belongs to the right of
a member to seat in this House is of higher
privilege. Therefore, the report from the spe.
cial committee takes precedence of the motion
to reconsider"
This was the signal for a general movement
by the Administration and Fillmore parties to
override the Speaker, and keep out the Re-
port. The report of proceedings occupies
dozen columns of the Globe, and shows with
what skill war against any particular measure
may be waged by raising points of order. We
have often expressed our admiration for Mr..
Banks, as a Speaker. An attentive and i'm
partial observer of the House for the last ten
years-alvays disposed to give full credit to
every presiding officer for honesty of purpose
and energy-we take pleasure in saying that
we have never seen Speaker in similar cir
cumstances, bear himself so we'll and wisely as
Mr.. Banks. Firm, imperturbable, clear, con-
else, direct, perfectly seltpoised, it was impos
sible to discomfort, bewilder, or perplex him.
The Report was received, and read, 80 far
as 1t could be, till the hour of adjournment
The next day, similar warfare sprang up in
relation to its continued reading, and then in
regard to the accompanying documents, with
. similar result. The Speaker maintained his
own dignity and the rules of the House, and
was triumphantly sustained. The report proper
was read through, and the reading of the &C.
companying documents was dispensed with.
1t is impossible to give all of this report in
our columns, but we print on the fourth page
enough of il, and more than enough, to con-
firm the truth of all that has been said of the
ontrages in Kansas.
The next event was the passage of the bill
to admit Kansas as a State, with its free Con-
stitution. Last week the Era contained the

of the duel reported by telegraph) between
B. Gratz Brown, editor Of the Missouri Demo-
cras, and Thomas @. Reynolds, United States
District Attorney. II seems that the affair
had its origin in the recent heated campaign
in that State. Mr.. Rey nolds was the regular
candidate Of the Democracy for Congress from
the st. Louis District, but the Democrat, al
though supporting Buchanan, advocated the
election of f. P. Blair, jr., who is supposed TO
be Republican in his sentiments.
In some Of his speeches before the election,
Reynolds belabored Brown pretty severely.
The latter did not send an immediate chal-
lenge, but waited until after the election of
Blair. challenge was then sent, accepted,
and the duel fought with pistols at twelve

was wounded in the knee, Thiswas considered
