A special telegram to the the Inter
Ocean of the 4th, says that Morrison,
an Illinois Congressman, and sort
of lickspittle among the rebels of the
House, on that day Frustrated himself
before his confederate masters. A PEN
sion bill was up in the House, the
claimant of which had a singular his
tory. He had brother in the Con-
fedeTate army, but his family were
Unionists. The brother was taken i'll
and the claimant went through the
lines to conduct him home. The con-
federate authorities would not let him
90. SO the claimant volunteered to re-
main as a hostage in his brother
place, and the sick man was permit
ted to leave the lines. Two weeks
later the claimant deserted the rebel
army, Joined the Union army, was
promoted to captaincy for gallantry
and received severe wounds, for which
he asks pension. These facts were
stated, when William r. Morrison,
formerly Colonel of the thirty-ninth
regiment Illinois Volunteers, rose in
his seat in the House and declared
that any man who would desert the
Confederate army was scoundrel and
traitor, and did not deserve PEN
sion.
Morrison was in the Union army,
but when mention was made of the
fact in his biographical sketch in the
Congressional Directory, he had it ex-
plunged - ashamed of the record -
thereby again getting in the very dirt
at the feet of his confederate friends.

A FLORAL WEDDING.

If L tell the girls about wedding
that came off this week, they will all
be dissatisfied If they can't have one
just like it. But they will be sure to
find fault now If they don'thear about
it, so here goes. The times are not
good, and money is not easy, but

church, they found the sidewalk, steps
and hallway strewn with flowers, ILL

season just now, roses and azalias,
trodden under foot to the door of the
drawing room. There the marvel be-
gan. The girl had always been pass
ionately fond of flowers, and they sur
rounded her In lavishness on this the
happiest day of her life. The back
drawing room where the bride and
groom received the congratulations of
their friends, was a great bower OF
foliage and blossoms, nearly as high
as the room, and large as an ordinary
parIor itself, where a bell of bridal
flowers loaded the air with odors. The
very doors when opened waited sweet
ness into the street, the house was so |
full of flowers, tea roses, jasmine and
baskets of violets hidden in corners. |
The bride was dressed in silk, trimmed |
with flowers, a wreath of orange buds
and half.opened blossoms falling in a
long spray on her shoulders; slen-
