A THRILLING SCENE.-The following

Not far from 10000 cavalry were in line,

cause, rushed out into the open field just as
a squadron of hussars came sweeping around
from the main body. They made the de-

About II o'clock the Senators took their

The Secretary of the Senate read the
resolutions of the two houses previously
agreed to.
The President N, Burr) stated that
pursuant TO law, there had been transmitted
to him several packets which, from the in
dorscments upon them, appeared to be the

it is of more consequence TO the American
people to have fair count than to have any
particular man for President. And they
will submit to Hayes or Tilden, as the case
may be, but they will insist that the clecto-
raj votes must be counted in the manner
provided by the constitution. If the Pres
dent of the Senate has any duty to perform
other than to "open all the certificates in
the presence Of the Senate and House OF
Representatives, if he has anything to &c
with the examination and count, L have

A lady, the wife of prominent lawyer
of Washington, d. c., annoyed beyond en-
durance with the worthlessness of black
nurses, determined to substitute a white
maid for her little children, aud from the
many candidates presenting themselves, she
chose very pretty girl from Alexandria,
whose recommendations were au fat, and
who looked still pretticr in her white frllcd
apron and bonnie cap, and the mothers

took their airing under so charming an es-
cort. After the novelty had worn off, Vir.

WHICR VAS RIGHT.

A party of grammarians, in Cincinnati
restan rant were arguing for half an hour over
the question els it right to say six and
seven is eleven, or six and seven are elevenr
Some were certain is was the proper term to
employ Con the principle, perhaps, that what
ever is is right,) while others were eqnally
strenuous tbst are was the right word.
"Do you mean to say, sir" said one distin-
puished grammarisu, very much excited, to
another distinguished grammariau' THAT six
and seven are eleve1P
cit are" replied the other, equally excited.
Much con nfnsion ensued, and 1t WAS feared
that q collision would eDsue between the dis
tipguished grammarians. In fact, after con-
iugatiog each other pretty sharply and work,
ing themselves up to the superlative degree of
wTathful mood they did make few "parses"
at each other g heads. In the present tense Of
affairs it was agreed to leave the question to
the decision of the Teutouio gentlemen who
brought the lager. Said one of them

THE OBSTRUCTIONIST POLICY OF THE
IRISH II PARLIAMENT.
ENGLISH JOURNALS AND STATESMEN VERY
MAD.
london Times, July ~

A small band of Irish mem beTs are rap
idly raising the practice of stopping public
business in the House of Commons to the
dignity of fine art, On Monday night, or
rather on Tuesday morning, their efforts
for that end had success to which it would
not be easy to find a parallel in the history
of Parliament. The public will have no
ticed that in our impression of Tuesday the
report of the proceedings in the House of
Commons abruptly came to an end without
the usual notice of adjournment. The
reason was that the House had not ad
journed for some hours after the morning
newspapers we're printed, or, indeed, for
an hour after early risers are out of bed.
1t sat till twelve minutes past 2 o'clock in
the morning. 1t sat till that time because
seven gentlemen insisted that it should do
nothing, and for nearly six hours it discuss
ed the question whether it should be
allowed TO discuss anything. No fewer
than seventeen divisions we've taken to
settle that point, the numbers of the
minority ranging from eight to five. while
those of the msjority varied from 1913 to SO.
The monotony of the process was relieved
by several attempts to "cOunt out" the
House, aud it was only when the maj ority
had dwindled down to 30 that the fruitless
labors of the night came to an end. Dur-
ing the intervals of physical exercise, the
House was enIivened by . species OF dis
cussion which is usually assumed to b9
monopoly of the French National Assembly.

il the hon. member was not going directly

ceeded for some time longer, and did not sit

Mr.. Locke hoped there would be an altera-

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said the
hon. member for Dungarvan had not long been
q member of the House, and perhaps he did
not know the rules. Opposed business was
not begun after balf-past 12 O'Clock. He
thought the minority was unreasonable. and
that the oonduot of the hon. member for Dun-
garvan was remarkable. He urged bis own
side not to interrupt (hear, hear). and he urged
the Irish members to be moderate and fair.
Mr. Parnell said the Chancellor of the Ex-
