OF all the historic places on the St.

rida, probably St. Johns Bluff is the most
interesting. Here, just three hundred
years before the close Of our late war, the
pious Huguenots Of France, for serving
God amid the wildernesses and sands and
swamps of America we're massacred by
one Menendez, sent out by the Catholicism
Of Spain and France for that express
purpose. -
To escape persecution at home they
fed to this country, trusting rather an un-
known land, inhabited by savoges, than
sunny France with all its enlightenments.

est in it in violation of the law and his
position as member, as MIR Farnsworth
had charged, he concluded by saying
':that he who had dealt his bow, without
notice, and when he (Mp. Butler) was
unprepared, was coward and assassin"
Down came the Speakers gavel But
the Speaker SAID nothing. Tie whole
House looked first at the Speaker, then
at Farnsworth, who was in his seat, and
then at Butler
The gayeps fall was succeeded by no
call of order "Is it a message from the
Senate ?" Inquired Butler. The Speak
cr was now silent as his gavel. 1t was
evident that this was not the usual sig
nal announcing a message from the Sen
ate, but an incoa pleted call TO order.
Butler pushed ahead with repetition
of his charge. Il take it, said he, 'ard
[ rciterate it, that it is I principle Of
ethics that no one here will dispute, that
he " no deals biow on that.ls ulprepared

is an assertion that even the Speaker 3

and order VS. restored. After little
more debate the vote was taken, but Sc
general was the feeling against Bu,ler

knew he was interested in it, that he only
got twelve votes, the measure being re-
