The Boy that was not Re-
lmaIkabDc.


The boys who 6" get into the news
papers" are very remarkable boys.
Joe had nothing about his looks,
or actions, or color that attracted
the particular attention of anybody.
When he first breathed the vital
air he was simply a boy baby with
two hands, two feet, two eyes, two
ears, one mouth and one nose. He
did not laugh, and crow, and sit up
right, as young geniuses do in their
babyhood, but he slept, and walked,
and ate (baby food, Of course,) and
cried like any common baby.
When he grew older there were
no uncommon developments except
that he was fat, and healthy, and
heavy.
Nobody congratulated the mother
On raising future President, nor
applauded the bright genius that
sparkled in the baby's eyes. The
gossipper looked wonderfully at each
other as the tender mother watched
over her baby boy, provided for his
comforts, and pressed him to her
warm bosom.
He grew to boyhood, but he was
only common boy. He learned
his A. 3. c., with difficulty, and was
slow in learning to read. His teacher
thought he never would" get through
the multiplication table. But he
never forgot it.

went toe, but lie was slow, IL got

would cry out for them in pity.
Reporter. About how many nurs-
es were there in tho army that would
be benefited by your bill for them !?
Dr.-About five hundred now
Quite a number are in their graves.
They were SO worn out with watch
ing and deprivations in hospitals,
and had such hard struggles to live
since the war, after expending their
means for the sick and wounded,
that the grave cradles them now. I
do not know what will become OF
many more before another Congress
convenes.
Reporter.-That matter of the
nurses will all be 1ighted before this
Congress adjourns.
Dr.-I hope SO, although it will
not benefit me particle, only as it
will relieve me to know that they are
made little more comfortable. I
cannot believe that our Congress
men are SO perfectly heartless and
cruel as to fail in this matter.
Reporter.-What about your own
bill ? I hear you always work for
others and leave yourself last, but
everybody seems to think that you
will be successful. The press and
the people say it is a just claim, and
that it will surely pass.
Dr.-The members of Congress
have been very kind and deferential
to me I am assured that justice
will be done, and I am determined
to believe them honest not coun-
try in the world would have delayed
justice to me SO long but I will
overlook all that while il! Europe I
apologized for my country's failure
to make an appropriation be6tting
its boasted greatness and business

me longer another year may fine

committees, would forever feel thorns
in their pillows, but future genera
tions would censure them, until thei1

Henry Winter Davis, Oratory.

Henry Winter Davis OratOry.
It will be remembered that Mary
land Representative, Harris, uttered
words in eulogy of jeff Davis and
the coi1federacy, which showed
condition OF mental treason at least.
A motion of expulsion was offered,
wild excitement followed, Mr.. Colfax
left the chair in order to sustain it,
and did so in a speech of marked
and impetuous power. BY the way,
Mr.. Colfax is known to reportorial
memories as the most rapid speaker
of his time. Beck, of Kentucky, is
their present tete moi'v in this re-
spect. The motion to expel failed to
obtain, by few, the necessary two
thirds vote. Then came one to cen
sure. On this, debate proceeded for
nearly a 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 con-
fused.
At last one day, just as the morn
ing hour expired, Henry Winter Da-
Wis came in. Taking his seat, in a
few moments his clear, firm Mr..
Speaker" thrilled through the House
and at once hushed oil the turbu-
lent hum. AS described to me by q
master of the picturesque, who both
heard and participated, the scene
that followed must have been strik-
ing one. A few, swift sentences sta
ted the various positions assumes by
preceding speakers. In a clear and
striking manner he arranged and
summed them up, and then proceed
ed to analyze the ofense Of which
Mr.. Harris had been guilty, show
ing how freedom and license diving
ed, and that disloyal utteranccs like
his were as reasonable in their de-
gree as the act Of war, the raising of
rebellion and the marshaling Of ar
mics. AS the orator proceeded the
House gathered about, in front and
around him. The Senate Chamber
was emptied the galleries above
were dark with the throngs that
leaned down with breathless atien-
ton. There was no sound heard but
the music Of the speakers voice, fol-
the hushed breath of the great au-
dienco seemed silence before those
tones. His colleague, the one whose
offense was under consideration, Il

The following interesting article is
clipped from the Washington Chroe-
icle:
Our reporter met the Doctor last
evening when the following CONVEX
sation took place
Reporter-Well, Doctor, what do
you think Of the political situation ?
DR.. Walker-That question pre-
supposes that woman has an opin-
ion and is capable Of expressing it.
Reporter-Your answer does some
thing more than presupposes that
you are getting polite in your avoid =
ance of questions.
Dr.-Po]itic +! Well really, I have
been credited with every other man
ly acquisition, except policy. This
is the first time, / have been credi-
ted with that. But since you have
accredited me with policy, I shall try
to deserve such honorable mention.
Reporter-Who is your Presiden-
tial candidate +? I suppose you have
no objection to telling.
| Dr.-Not the slightest. If you
will call on me about the middle of
July, I will give you my opinion OF
all three candidates.
Reporter.-But why not give it
now?
Dr.-If you men were as earnest
in doing justice to women as you are
in talking politics much more would
be accomplished.
! Reporter.-How about the wo-
mems bill before Congress I see
that Mr.. Dalghren's bill to give her
a pension for life of $4,000 a year,
has passed both houses Of Congress
Dr.-I am aware of the fact, and
I am also aware Of the fact, that the
bill to give the women who wore out
their lives in our hospitals is still
pending, though it is only for the
pitiable sum Of 500 per month TO,

Last summer one Of our Cincinna-

maux dog. She turned him loose
in her house, and during the first
two weeks he tore mp $500 worth of
lace curtains, gnawed holes in her
carpets, scratched the gliding from
the mirror frames, Eesides running

Since then he has been five times to

once to regular physician, who es-
teemed the call 4 mortal insult. Ho
has frightened all tho children in tho
