Henry Winner Davis, Oratorv.

1t will be remembered that a Maryland
Representative, Harris, uttered words il
eulOgy of JEFF Davis and the cOnfederacy
which showed a condition of mental trea-
son at least. A motion of expulsion was
offered wild excitement followed, Mr.. Col
fax left the chair in order to sustain it, and
did so in a speech of marked and impetu-
GUS power. By the way, Mr.. COlfax is
known TO repOrtOrial memories as the most
rapid speaker Of his time. Beck, of Ken
lucky, is their present 6ete HOire in this re-
spect. The motion to expel failed to OBJ
tain, by few, the necessary tW0-thirds
vote. Then came one to censure. On this.
debate proceeded for nearly week. The
whole subject of free speech, and whether
it had or not any limitation, passed under
review. With the progress of the debate,
mems minds become confused.
At last one day, lust as the morning hour
expired, Henry Winter Davis came in
Taking his seat, in few moments his clear,
firm MIR. Speaker thrilled through the
House, and at once hushed all the turbu-
lent hum. As described to me bya master
of the picturesque, who both heard and
participated, the scene that followed must
have been a striking one. A few, swift
sentences stated the various positions as
sumed by preceding speaker7. In a clear
and striking manner he arranged and

had been guilty, showing how freedom and
license diverged, and that dislOyal utter

degree as the act OF war, the raising of re-
belliOn and the marshaling of armies. As
the orator proceeded the House gath
cred about, in front and around
him. The Senate Chamber was emp
tied; the galleries above were
dark with the thrOngs that leaned
down with breathless attention. There was
no sound heard but the music of the speak
er's voice, for the hushed breath of the great
audience seemed silence before those tones
His colleague, the one whose otfense was
under consideration, SOutherner even to
QuixOJism, stood close to the orator, nav,
almost in front Of him, leaning on some
friendly shoulder, while his face became a
wrapt study, showing evident unconscious
ness Of how much he had to do with the oc-
casioD, in the intellectual delight the display
gave him.
At the most caustic part of Davis argu-
ment, when everybody was listening with
an intenseness almost painful. Harris was

Last summer one of our Cincinnati bellies,

weeks he tore up $500 worth of lace cur

lOr. Since then he has been five times TO q
horse doctor for treatment, and once to q
regular physician, who esteemed the call a
mortal insult. He has frightened all the chill
dren in the neighbOrhood, and there has not
been a cat seen anywhere in the block since
his arrival. He is better than a trombone
player at keeping people awake, and is
never so happy. as when baying the moon
on summer nights. His regular diet is
strawberries and jelly cake, and vet he ia
not happy. He pines for his native cline,
his far-off home in Labrador, and win mot

I0urnalistic Fun.

An incident in the history of Shadrach
PENIS life, which some of the old citizens
OF Louisville may yet remember, and which
doubtless afforded them a hearty laugh.
occurred about twenty-five years ago, be-
tween the years 1885 and 1910. when
George D. Prentice. at the head of the
Louisville journal, and Penn, as editor and
publisher of the AdUeFiSer, were running
what was called, IN those early DAYS of
American journalism, a lively opposition.
About year previous to the occurrence a
horrible murder or some great calamity
had occurred in the South, not tar from
New Orleans. 1t happened that Prentice
had saved a copy of this paper. which had
not been clipped or cut His natural wit
struck upon a good expedient to get off a
good joke on Penn by means of this paper,
then year old. Accordingly he sprinkled
the paper, folded it up, neatly pressed
It, which gave it the appearance of
a new issue, and lnclosing it in a
large wrapper, backed it "Compli-

into the editorial sanctum almost totally ex.
hausted, threw down the paper on the table
and then scampered off. Penn picked it up,
tore the wrapper hurriedly and his ewes i'm
mediately rested on the important article of
news referred to. No time was to be lost.
The paper was nearly up. Several impor-
tant matters were in the form, but they
were ordered out, and the new copy was in
the hands of the printers, with few edito-
rial comments and very prOfuse thanks to
the gentlemanly clerk of the elegant and
fast steamer WaucOusta Tor the invaluable
favor, etc. The whole trick proved success
full, and Prentice delighted, on every posi-
bic OCCASION especially when Penn had

In the current monthly ret of the CON-

that there is an immense we OF material

WAS 1T GOODBYE
BY MAMIE PERRY.

Unjust bid her good-by tomorrow;
wonder if she will wear,
For loves sake this tiny trinket
Mid the waves Of her chestnut hair,
Her shining chestnut hair?
I will say, This golden humm1ng bird
Fit emblem is OF You,
For it never yet rested in any heart
1t never was tender nor true,
To any one tender and true"
Oh, no such words I must never speak,
Lest in anger she turn away,
But when bid her the last farewell
l will hold her hand and saw
The pretty hand, and say
"Will you give me your uncaged heart for mine
Oh, sweet if 'Or me you carel
VIII you take this token OF love from my hand,
And wear it, inst now in your hair,
Mid yOur wavy chestnut hairl'
No farewell was said on the morrow,
The studied words vanished in air.
Whatever was spoken, only know
The humming bird sh0ne in her HAIR,
Mid the waves Of her chestnut hair.
