A Slack Husband Punished.

"Nr. Mpnc,ou," sail my graham -'hcr,

oh, send Louisa round to pick up
some" said the good man, making stride
toward the door
''Bu; she has already picked all she
can find"
Then let her break up some old
stuff
But she had broken up everything al
ready"
oh. well, then do the next best thing

be was. whistling as he went, and no
doubt wondering in ibis heart what the
next les, thing would turn out to be.
Noon came, and with it came my grand
father and four hungry laborers. My
grandmother stood in the kitchen, spinning
on her great wheel, and singing a pleasant
little ditty; Louisa was securing the back
room, and the cat sat rurring ON the
hearth before a black and iireless chimney,
while the table sat in the middle of the
room, spread for dinner, with empty
dishes.
"Well, wife. here We aro,' said my
grandfather, cheerily.

" Have you had good morning in the
cornGeld?'
Why, yes, SO. But where is the din.

In the pot on the doorstep. Won''
you see if it is done ~
And on the doorstep, to be sure, sat the
great iron pot, nicely covered, but no,
looking particularly steamy. My grand
father raised the cover and there lay all
the ingredients Of nice boiled dinner
everything prepared in the incest manner
and the pot filled with the cleanest Of wa
ter, aud all the vegetables as raw as they
had ever been. My grandfather stared
aud my grandmother joined another rol
to the yarn upon the distaff, aud began
another verse Of her song.
Why, woman, what does this mean ?
began my grandfather, Indignantly "Thi
dinner ism cooked at all ~
Dear me, is it not? Why it has Sc

" Set in the sun !"
Eyes; you told me to try the next bes
thing to a fire, and thought setting m,

My grandfather stood doubtful for {
moment, but finally his sense of hume
overcame his sense Of injury, and h
laughed aloud. Then picking up his ha
he said:
"Come, boys, we might as we'll star
for the woods. We shall have no Dime

"Won't you have some bread an,

General Amnesty Propositions.

At Ia caucus of the Republican members
of the House, Dec. ID, Banks presided
and Degner, Of Texas, made speech in
favor of universal amnesty. He was sup.
ported. by Tallman, of Tennessee, and
Bingham, of Ohio, who, however, wished
to make some exceptions. Maynard op
posed the proposition. Most of the mem
bers from the Gulf States favor universal
amnesty, and they say that this is the only
ground by which the Republican party
can expect to be successful in the future.
No vote was taken, and the caucus adjourn.
ed to meet again Wednesday night. 1t was
hardly expected any concerted action will
be agreed upon.
On the 18th, in the House, Farnworth
and Beck offered substitutes for the Am
nesty bill; the former removing uncondi-
tionally all disabilities under the third Sec
ton of the Fourteenth Amendment, aud
the latter excepting the West Point and
Annapolis graduates, members of Congress,
the heads Of departments, foreign ministers
and United States Judges who participated
in the rebellion. Mr.. Bingham moved q
substitute for the first section. removing all
disabilities from all except such as were
Senators, Representatives to Congress in
the years 1860 or 1861, or were in either
such years officers in the Army and Navy
of the United States, heads Of departments,
United States Judg es, United States Min.
listers, and except all persons who in viola
ton of that amendment have held Office
since the first of June, 1870. Mr.. Beck
opposed the bill as one of pains and penal
ties rather than of amnesty. and argued in
favor of real amnesty bill as necessary to
the success Of the Republican party. Mr..
Potter advocated Farnsworth's substitute
as not only the most generous but the most
patriotic and wisest proposition before the
House. The bill then went over till next
day. 2ho rs'<[-
Gen. Buffers amnesty proposition ex-
empts all who participated in the rebellion
from the penalties of disfranchisement ex-
cept persons who before the rebellion were
officers of the Army or Navy of the United
States and members of Congress. Butler
thinks he can get enough strength in the
House to pass the bill at the present ses-
sion. He will be supported by the Demo
Gratis and some of the Republicans, espe-
cially those from the Southern States.
