wi formerly held ss Argos, expressly insti-
tuted for the killing of dogs during this sea-
son. The 18th was st. Swithin's day, and .
popular notion used to prevail, that If It
raincd on that day, 1t would rain for forty
ensuing days. swithin died in the se5. d.,
and was canonized by the Pope lie re-

monks wished to transfer his remains to the
church after the canonization, and prepared
to do it on the 18th Of July, but it rained
violently that day, and for forty succeeding
days, which was considered as mark of dis
appreciation Of their proceedings. So they
erected chapel over his grave, and many
were the miracles performed therein.-Go'd.

PAT AND THE DEACON.

Some months ago, as Deacon
Ingalls, Of Swampscot, r. /, was
travelling through the western part
of the State Of New York, he fell
in with On Irishman who had late
" arrived in this country, and was
In search of brother. who had
come before him and settled in
some Of the diggings in that part
of the country. # +. .. ... @a..3
Pat was a strong man, a true
Roman Catholic, and had never
seen the inteaior of a Protestant
church. Ingalls, was a pious man.
He told Pat he was going to
church, and invited his neW-made
friend to keep him company thith-
er, his destination being a small
meeting house near by, There
was a great revival there at the
time, and one of the deacons, who
was a very small man in structure
invited brother Ingalls, to a seat in
his pew. He accepted the invita-
ton followed by Pat, who looked
in vain for the altar, etc. After he
was seated, he turned around to
brother Ingalls,, and in a whisper
that could be heard all around, he
inquired:
"sure, an isn't this a hereto
church ?" ..-. Pc. .a
Hush" said Ingalls,, "if you
speak a word they will put you
out" !
Devil a word will I speak at all |
at all, " replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with |
prayer by the pastor. .
Pet was cycling him very close
ly when an old gentleman who
was standing in the pew directly
in front of Pat, shouted "Amen p
"Hist, ye devil!'', rejoined Pat,
in his loud whisper, which was
heard by the minister; "be daeent
and don't make a blockhead of
yourself" a.......
The parson grew more fervent
in his devotions. Presently the
deacon uttered an audible groan-
'tAmenl ... .E2D...
Hist, ye blackguard. Have ye
no dacency at alP' said Pat, at
The same time giving him punch
in the ribs which caused him to
ose his equilibrium.
The minister stopped, and ex.
his hands in a suppiant
manner, said: ..""....'. 90
Brethren, we cannot be dis
,urbed in this way. Win some
me put that man out?" ~
j. eyes, your reverence" shouted
Pat, II will do it. o',. -
And suiting the action to the
word, he collared the deacon, and
o the utter horror Of the pastor.
brother Ingalls,, and the whole
congregation, he dragged him up
he aisle, and with q tremendous
lick, sent him into the vestibule

GENERAL L0MGsTREET.. Don Piatt,
writes to the Cincinnati Commercial,
a Radical paper, rs follows:
His memories Of the late war ara
exceedingly interesting. He possessed
more brain than any General on the
Confederate side, and il was, with all
its cultivation, military brain. I be-
lieve that had llc been made commander.
in.chief Of the Confederate forcrs in.
stead Of that dull rcspcctability General
lee he would now be dealing out official
patronage instead Of being it's recipient.
l urged him to get up book on the

ing, at the same time, that Gen. Lee
was at work, and Ind been Mt work OH

Longstrect said the two books will

Romantic History Of one Of Tom Benton'a
Daughters.
Let me tell you something ubout one
OF the school teachers Of San Francisco,
by way of illustrating the manner in
| which fortune froics with human nature
and makes shu,tlacocks of poor humaui.
ty. Among the teachers Is an elderly
ladv--the mother OF i've interesting
children. She was born in one Of tho
Western States, and was the first born
Of one OF the most distinguished Scna.
tors who ever sat in the legislative halls
Of the United States. In her young
days she was the belle Of Washington
City, carrying away the palm from the
dayE-eyed daughters of the South and
the rosy-cheekcd damsels Of the North.
She gave her love to young gentleman
then clerk in one ol Tho Offices In
Washington. Fer father knew tho
youth and recognized his great abilities
and when no solicited the danghtcr's
hand it was chcerfully given. The
wedding was brilliant one, many ofthe
great men Of tho country being present
to wish them joy and cheer them at tho
commencement of their domestic voy.
Nge. The Young husband was shortly
atterward admitted to the bar Of the
United States Supreme Court, and was
soon recognized as ono Of the most
promising members. For many years
he practcod his profession with great
success, and was OH The high road to
fame and wealth. Then came the dis
covcrv Of gold in California and the
consequent rush of emigrants to tho
new El Dorado. Among those who
determined npon going to California was
the husband. He consulted with his
wife, and she, like n true woman, de.
clarcd her intention Of accompanying
him.
Together they came 10 California,
where tho husband soon took leading
position at the bar, and amassed for
tune Tho people ho associated with
were from tho South, and like many
others ho began to drink to excess
When the rebellion broke out he cart
h,s sympaLhics with the South. His
brother-in.law went with the North,
aud became Major-General. lie had
to give up the practice Of his profession
because he could not take the oath re.
quired by our Legislature. Out of bu.

gan to mortgage his property. Six
years passed away, and he died, leaving
his widow with one child without dol.
lar. The noble woman immediately
took in sewing to cain her living, but
found ehe could hardly keep soul and
body together by that means. Some
friends Of her father and husband offer

Reconstruction.

In the House OF Representatives on
Monday, Mr.. Lawrence, Of Ohio, Rad
ical member Of the Recon, ,ruclion
Committee, said that tho reconstruction
Of Mississippi, Texas and Virginia, and
soms legislation for Georgia, were IN
donbtedly necessary and it would be
impossible to perfect that legislation if
Congress were to adjourn next Fri.
day. aA
Beast Butler also argued against al-
journing on Friday. He said !:
Things had happened WHICH perhaps
might have led him to think IL were
better if Congress were not here at all !;
but he did not know that any thing had
happened which should lead his col
league to think SO. Being here, how.
ever, he must insist that Congress re.
main in session. There were three
States in an unreconstructed condl.
ton. u..n H
Mr.. Lawrence Four.
Mr.. Butler: Four; and all of them
Stotes where a mans life is not sare
where the clergyman is shot down MS he
performs tho marriage sacrament, aud
where men are taken out of ia,l and
hanged and shot. ga
Mr.. Dawes inquired whether the
Offices in the unrcconstructed States
were no: to be filled by the commanding
Generals and whether it wac not in t
as well 10 hold those States under mill.
tary rule as obring them into reprcscn-
tatlon in the manner and under the
unfortunate circumstance that Georgia
had been brought in. Had not his col.
league learned that the mistake then
was in making too much haste2 And
did his colleague feel that the country
could not exist unless Congress continu.
ed in perpetual session 53 tt
Mr.. Butler agreed with lis colleague
that IN the matter OF Georgia Congress
should make haste slowly. But the
difficulty was thai Georgia was now IN,
and was no longer under military rule,
except measnrably. It was not tho
question Of office. 1t was tho question
of life and death to the Republicans,
to tha Union men Of tho South. There
was not q Union man III the South who
would not say that the adjournment Of
Congress now would be desertion Of
them, and turning of them over to
their enemies. Besides, if Congress
were to adjourn now, the Senate
would remain in session, rs it did last
spring: and the effect was that no soon,
er had the House turned its bacl, than
Alaska was thrust upon the country
lie thought, therefore, that under tho
circumstances 1t was the duty Of the
House to remain in session
Mr.. Dawes: And take care of the
Senate?
MIR. Butler Take care of everybody
that the peoples interests require to be
taken care Of. No man ffightcns by
saying "Take care of the Senate" l
desire to keep within parliamentary Ian

try, re.entered the revolutionary
army, and received n commission as
colonel. He was taken prisoner by
the Royalist troops, and after his
release held high command in tho
Russian army in Circassia. IIo next
joined with Kossuth in the Hungarian
revolution, but his plan of campaign,
though adopted, was never carried
out. When The instruction was at
an end Colonel IIcnningscn came to
the United States, and afterwards
! joined the Nicaragua expedition, in
which he held the rank of major.geno-
raj commanding, being the life and
soul Of the forces. At tho beginning
of the late war, he entered the Con-
federatc army, and is said to have
been the means of cxtricating General
lec from the tolls Of Rosecrans, in
the mountains of Virginia. But
Genneral llenningsen was no favorte
with the Confederate government. He
advised that 100000 rifles, 100000
blankets, 400 pieces of field artillery,
and 100000 rounds of small arm
ammunition should be bought at. once
and paid for by tho hypothccation of
cotton. These idcps were commune
Gated to General Toombs, and by him
to President Davis, who said that
llenningsen was fool. When this
tale was told to llcnningsen, he retort-
ed that Davis was an ass, which,
coming to the ears Of the President,
cut off all hope of promotion, and
ended his career in the Confederate
army.
General Hennipgscn is man Of
considerable literary ability and has
written several standard works on
different subjects. OF him, General
Joseph Il. johnson said: "No man,
whatever his profession, can talk with
i1enningsen half an hour without
learning something" The speciality
of General Henningsen is artillery
tactics, but he is at home in every
arm of the service, and in his element
whenever there is sword to be drawn,
ora people to bo freed. Since the
close the war, General Henningscn
has been intimate with General
Grant and General Sherman, and has
it is said, been admitted to their full
confidence. This accounts for the
fact that tha veteran general is at the
head of the expeditioDary corps, and
that it should have been organized,
shipped and landed, without o hint to
the outside world. This timo Gene
raj Henningsen counts upon success,
as means of cancelling his ancient
grudge against Spain, resulting from
the Carlist war.
General Henningscn married, we
believe daughter of the late Senator
Berrien of Georgia. Mrs. Henning-
sen is an accomplished lady, and made
hosts of friends by her noble conduct
during the war.
1t is very evident that these Cuban
movements cannot much longer be
kept secret, and when all the truth is
known, there will be an awful shaking
among the dry bones of the Spanish
dominion.
