Gov. Banks as Speaker.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Boston Traveller in speaking Of Col. Orr,
relates the following incident which trans
pired when Gov. Banks occupied the chair:
This reminds me of the incident of Pres
ton S. Brooks, which is little known. Du-
ring Gov Banks administration as Speak
er, on one day when debate ran high, Mr..
Brooks persisted in making a statement
when out Of order.
"The gentleman is out of order," but
he continued speaking. THE gentleman
from South Carolina is out of order," said
the Speaker, in voice that rang through
the hall like a clarion, but Mr.. Brooks con-
tinued speaking. Now the Speaker sprsng
to his feet, his gravel fell with a resound-
ing clash down upon tine brazen rail Of the
desk, and the echoes of the old hall were
awakened BY thesound as he said, 1.-THE Ser
geant-at-Arms will arrest the member from
South Carolina" Mr.. Brooks dropped in
stantly into his seat dead weight, leaving

have so cruelty misJudged you" said the
weeping wife.
The old man continued: "Some men talk
poetry, some write it in words, and some
write.,it in theirlives. Thetrue heroism which
poets have sung, the beauty of sef-abnega-
ton and of ceaseless devotion to- duty,
which have been their inspiration, Ralph
Hale has live ed. The woman who has won
the deepest love of such heart should rev.
erently and gratefully cherish it as the
richest blessing of her life."
In the twilight of that day, Margaret was
awaiting her husbands return. Amid the
bitter self-reproachings that darkened the
hour, CLEANED new and holy light. High
er purposes were aroused within her. In the
future she would make divinely real in her
life the beautiful ideals which had filed her
heart with unsatisfed longings. She, too,
would live for others, and first of all for him
whom she had SO misunderstood.
A hurried step in the entrance-hall, then
on the stairs, and the next moment she was
clasped in her husbands arms.
"You have been very ILL.," said a voice,
falte ring with emotion, shut, thank God,
you are safe now, my Margaret"
"Oh, yes, am safe indeed now," said
Margaret's heart.
In that hour all was made clear between
them. With new resolves for the future,
with a deeper love for each other, and a
prayer for strength, another page of life
was turned for them.
Years afterwards, Margaret, proud and
happy wife, wrote: 81 cannot tell you all he
has heen to me-my guide when ! was ig-
norant, my strength when l faltered, my
best earthly friend always. What do not

A Valuable Gift.

Once upon a time, at the gathering o.
slime spirits" at Drayton Manor, DR.. Buck
land, Sir William Follett, and Mr.. George
Stephenson were among the guests assem-
bled. Sir William, having the leading pro.
fessor of geology at the. same table with the
expounder of new notions on qualification
contrived to bring them into intellectual
collision. Mr.. Stephenson disputed the
facts of the formations as alleged, and DR.
Buckland defended them; and the latter
combatted the arguments of his opponen,
with such happy fuency and facile reference
that he crushed his adversary with as much
apparent ease as one of the engineers own
locomotives would an obtruding rabbit
when the engine was going at the rate Of
forty miles an hour. Mr.. StephsnsQR. fell
that he was worsted, not defeated; b. be-
ing pleasantly and politely "shafed. :" the ef.
forts he made to recover his position only
served to aggravate 'e pain of his wounds.
Although it was but friendly controversy
he was considerably irritated, and slept but
little that night. He was up early mex,
morning, and sought to cool his temper in
the spacious garden of Drayton Manor. He
had not taken many turns on the SILICA
when Sir William Follett made bis appear.

"George, you made pretty fool of your.
self last night"

myself, Sir William" replied Mr.. Stephen
son; "but am convinced l was right, after
ALL"
"To be sure you were," said Sir William;
"but you cannot talk. | never heard such
a bungler. You were full of facts-wond-
erful facts-and Buckland had only sophistry
and assertion to oppose to your facts. He
beat you to staLd-stil. because YOU had no
rhetoric"
"Sir William, am no lawyer
"But am. Come, sit down in this alcove;
and now, before we are called to breakfast,
repeat to me your whole theory"
Mr. Stepenson did as Sir William wished.
He went through the process of fire and
water, the operations of electricity, the
position of strata, &c.
THAT will do" said Sir William. SHOW

Buckland to me-"
After dinner, DR.. Buckland, excited by
the triumph of the preceding evening, soon
introduced mineralogy. Sir William, in his
gentle, quiet way, drew him into contro-
versy, closed upon him, out-talked him. and
prostrated the professor as effectually as the
professor had overthrown the engineer the
evening before. Sir William enjoyed the
encounter; no one was displeased; and, a:
theysrose to retire, Sir William whispered
"George, what do you think now!"
"Think!" replied Mr.. Stephenson. al

The American Flag.

On the 3Oth of April, 1918, the present
flag of the United States was hoisted for
the first time over the hall of the House OF
Representatives. This day is. consequent
", the fortieth anniversary OF the flag, as
adopted and established BY an act of Con-
gress approved April 4, 1918. 1t was de-
signed by Captain Sam. C. Reid, who, in
1914, when in command of the privateer
General Armstrong, Tough: with British
flee, the most brilliant naval engagement TO
be found on record. Having thus sustained
the honor Of his country's escutcheOn, no
one could have been found more worthy OF
being the author of the flag which nov
floats over the Union.
Previous to the adoption of the present
flag by Congress, the number of stripes in
the old flag had been increased to eighteen,
according to the number of States admitted
into the Union, thus destroying the beauty
and perspicuity OF the flag, and, while or
der was preserved in some, others contained
but nine stripes, as fancy dictated.
On the admission of Indiana into the
Union in 1916, Mr.. Peter H. Wendover, OF
New York offered resolution "that CON-
mittee be appointed to inquire into the ex-
pediency Of altering the flag of the United
States" A committee was appointed who
reported bill on the End of January, 1877,
but was not acted upon. While the CON-
mitree had the matter under consideration
Mr.. Wendover called on Captain Reid, who
was;n Washingtontat the time.nna requested
him to form design of our flag SO as to
represent the increase Of the States with
out destroying its distinctive character, as
he committee were about to increase the
stars and stripes in the whole number o'
States. Captain Reid recommended that
the stripes be reduced to the original num-
ber OF thirteen States, and TO form the num-
ber of stars representing the whole number
of States into one great star in the Union
adding one star for every new State, thus
giving The significant meaning to the flag
symbolically expressed, Of "E PEurtbu'
Unum." This design Of Captain Reid''
was adopted in committee. but the bill DID
not pass until the next Congress, IN 1885,

Proclamation.

This is emphatically an age of kissing
Everybody kisses suery body. Since the an.
ti-fastidious days when the old woman sa-
luted her COW, such time of promiscuou:
and inordinate hp-service was never known
The sign and seal of a'strange intelligence
has become Kissing and by-word; the play
thing of Writings; the tool of satire, the lost
jewel of the elect.
Zenobia's kiss is the "lorg and silent
throb of her inmost tsoul-unexpressed and
inexpressible, save to those divinely akin;
but she chances to be one in the indiscrim
mate circle, ard as each member drops off,
must bend her stately head to tie puppe,
performance-the kiss all round-which
would be most appropriately comPsuiec
by the elegance of
"Pop goes the weasel"
Penelope herself is obliged to look sharp
ly to the dew ON her lips, or ten to one it
will be spirited away on some graceless
monsseas. The maiady grows, and is be-
coming epidemic and chronic.
That last evening a. the W-'s, the
the last stout woman in the file of leave ta-
kers had well nigh finished me. Zeus and
Juno! wnat an expressionless, cavernous
mouth yawned over mine! Nectar and am
brosia! For the next six weeks | will not
kiss friend. In the meantime the dew OF
heaven-the "milk-fed lips" Of babies, and
my hearts best prayers will bring back the
ravished privilege.
A kiss should be one Of the holiest DEM
onstrations Of the soul: it should have q
voiceless eloquence-an electric tranquil
ty-an electric reserve. 1t has no such
thing. 1t pops good morning, it sput;ers
a good evening-it whizzes and fzzles on
the right hand, on the left haud-here,
there, and everywhere: at last marked, cor
nered and set upon, we plant our teeth
hard, and abide the shock as best we can.

A kiss is no more an unconsidered trlt1e
to be rudely filched-torn warm and bleed
ing from its nesting place, and frittered
about from mouth to mouth, than is the pu-
rest pr aysr offer-which God keeps still
invlolate. If we would preserve the gift u
sweet and holy token-beautified and sane
titled to the b eloved-we must use it wise
ly, with noble chariness.

Ifeel newer life in every galei
The winds, that fan the flowers,
And with their welcome breathings fill the sail,
Tell of serener hours
OF hours that glide unfelt away
Beneath the sky oi May.
The spirit Of the gentle south wind calls
From his blue throne Of air,
And where his whispering voice in music fails,
Beauty is budding there;
Z The bright ones of the valley break
Z Their slurnbers and awake.
{. The waving terdure rolls along the plain,

To welcome back its playful mates again.

And from its darkening shadow floats
, A gnsh Of trembling notes.

And the fuIl-brimming floods,
Asriadly to their 60 althsy run

90 The beautiful weather of Thursday
was succeeded yesterday by gentle spring
rain. The unfavorable weather effected busi-
mess, somewhat, and the streets presented q
dull appearance, compared with the general
animation of the previous day.
~ The mldness of the season has been
highly favorable to vegetation, and many of
our citizens have already commenced opera
tions in thoir gardens. The grass is spring
ing up rapidly in the fields, and the trees arc
fast coming into leaf. The indications are
tina. we will have forward spring.
sss- There is nothing ofimportancc to re-
cord in the way of local news.
~ The interest in the religious services,
daily held in the various churches, CONTINUES
undated.
:=g- The dispensers of law and justice arc
enjoying their oti0n, cum misunderstanding
nothing to do.
~ The dry goods merchants are busily
occupied in opening their spring stocks, and
in few days will be agreeably engaged in
exhibiting to the admiring eyes of the fem
mines the various novelties of the season.

Hon. JonN G. DAvIs.-A correspondent of
the Anderson (Ind.) Standard, writing from
Washington. pays the following compliment
to our representative in Congress: .l,
''Davis took ground early and openly in
behalf of the people, of right, justice, honor.
good faith, and fair dealing among men, and
denounced the whole Kansas policy of the adj
ministration, from the moment the admins
tration turned its back on Governor STAN
ton. He went home to the Sth Of January
convention at Indianapolis. and there COM
menced the fight in most gallant style. You
NAV remember Hughes was also there, and
locked horns with Davis, and get most effec-
nally smashed up. Davis is q brave, GAL
liant, honest man, who fears nothing; and
above all, has 40 fear of the consequences
that may follow his action, as man or a
politician; and why! because he always does
what lie believes to be right, and like Old
Hickory, takes the responsibility. And then
he has another justification, always to be
admitted where found, nearly: He will stand
by friend or principle till all other men
have fallen away and this regard as by far
the noblcst trait in mankind
