THE Des Moines correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune relates the fol-
lowing scene rs having occurred in
the House during one of its sessions:
While DR.. Glendenning, of Wayne, was
i'll the midst of some extended yet feeble
remarks, Mr.. McHugh, of Chickasaw,
rose to ask question. Will the gen
| tleman from Wayne yield to the gentleman
from Chickasaw?" asked the Speaker
"What for?" inquiries tie Wayne mem.
Der. 81 want to ask a question; will you
answer lt?" ~ will if l can, and if l
can't | won't" replied the Doctor. q
want to know how long you are going to
bore the House with that speech?" inquir-
ed Mr.. McHugh. The dumbfounded ply
stefan paused for moment, then resumed
his discourse, whereupon McIIugh rose
again and observed, you did not ans
wer my question, sir There are half-a-
dozen members near me who have their
designations written out, and will hand
them in if you don't stop" Even then
the gentle Doctor, who was formerly II
preacher, made no reply, but continued
his remarks. If he had had any friends
the gentleman from Chickasaw would
have been called out; as it was, the mat
ter passed rs a joke.
The above may have "passed for a
Joke" at the time Of its occurrence,
but if the circumstances and Ian
guage were as stated above, it is
pretty clear to our mind that Chick
asaw county was represented in the
Legislature by Il man who has very
inadequate idea of what belongs to
good breeding, much less parliament
tary courtesy. DR.. GIendenning may
have been bore, but in the above
transaction he appears to a hundred
times better advantage than the "gen-
tlcman" from Chickasaw.

leading editorial, says:
We repeat that the Spanish Government should pro-
coed with dignity preserving It's independence and CIV
NEEDLE with our internal affairs But what we consider
most singular strange, and even reugnan in the od OF
fair dealing Is tho issuing by Secretary Fish
of his circular note to the foreign powers on the
day that President Grant told Congress ho would recur
to friendly mediation or collective intervention III case
Cuba. The qualification which this conduct merits
Is severe that we do not care t0eXpitss IT, Persons

European Governments magnificent opportunity to de-
fcnd In America with their permanent interests the nigh

the more eloquent and striking passages In the
lecture. The little lecture stand was beautifully
adorned with roses and twining plants MI
Conway delivered the greater part Of his
lecture in quiet, conversational manner,
but occasionally he seemed to be warmed with his
subject and spoke in louder voice with more rapid
uttorance and vigorous gestures than usual. A
humorous remark or quaint description sometimes
sot tho audience laughing. The lecture contained
interesting information concerning the leading sci
entfc men of England-Huxley, Tyndall. Darwin,
and others-and opinions about them. When near
the end of his address Mr. Conway invited his
hearers TO question him about the men and the sub
jects he had been speaking of, i'll order that
he might Judge what they would be most interested
to hear. Several persons III the audience accord
ingly asked the lecturer questions which aid been
suggested TO their minds by his previous remarks,
and in answering them Mr.. Conway showed so much
readiness and elOquence that he was loudly ap-
plaudcd after each reply. The whole lecture nelud-
