The Democratic, House Prefers
a Confederate toSa' Fed-t
eral General.
And Elects General Charles w. Field,
Doorkeeper.

Washington, March Son the meet
ing of the House to-day there was a
very full attendance Of members, and
the galleries were crowded in expecta-
tion of exciting scenes upon the
question of the election of ldoorkeeper
A long and exciting debate arose upon
Buffers resolution appointing General
James Shields as doorkeeper. Butler
opened the debate, praising the quail
ties of General Shields. in which he ap-
pealed to the democratic party not to
show to the north that they preferred
to place in an honorable position, con-
federate general, who had fought
against the country, than to place there
an union MANNED soldier hero of
two wars. Clymer argued to show that
General Shields was disabled and would
not be able to perform the duties of
doorkeeper. Butler replied that Cen
eral Shields was physically able to per-
form those duties, and read letter
from that gentleman giving an account
of his disabilities. The debate which
developed good deal of sectional and
party feeling, finally closed and vote
was taken on Clymer's substitute for
Buffers resolution. The substitute
being that the House do now proceed
to the election of doorkeeper." The
vote for doorkeeper resulted as follows:
Charles w. Field, Democratic nominee,
1913; James Shields 1Ol; J. II. Trent,
nominated by Randolph, 8. Field was
thereupon declared elected. r..

From an English Standpoint.

London, April SIT is claimed on
all hands, except in purely partisan
discussion, that the Cabinet is sincere
ly desirous to avoid war. The with
drawal of the treaty of San Stefano, or
its unconditional submission to the
judgment of Europe, are regarded as
the only alternatives to war. Lord Ly-
ons, the British Ambassador at Paris,
designated to represent great Britain
at Congress, returned to Paris Saturday,
which is considered to indicate that no
great hope is felt of speedy meeting
of the congress.

LEADING A CALF.

He was small but muscular boy, and
the calf was probably two months old,
with development of unadulterated Gus
sedness that would do credit to Geor-
gia Ku-Kluy-Klan captain. There was
a rope between them, and as they went
down South Third street, bets were about
even as to whether the boy was leading
the calfor the calf leading the boy. The
calf dash for the Central Express
Office. The boy pulled him back, and
he made a dash for the boy, who ran
around wagon and fell oTer water

Copiously.
"Come back here, you internal Clod
buster, and pay for this melon"
"say, m'histerl whoa-give me my
thunderation on you--hat, won't yer2"
And the calf kicked up his heels and
b ba-a.d, and tried to run into store, but
the boy sat back on the line with all his
strength, and suddenly sat down in the
mud as the calf altered his mind, and
turned around to look at him. They
went quietly ten steps, till dog barked
when it took four circles around the boy
in as many seconds, tying his legs up in
the line, bringing him down in the mud
again, and dragging him around until he
looked like an old hat that had been rur
over by the ice cart for two seasons.
A philanthropic fat man by the name
of Wilson, a lawyer, went to the boys as
sistance, but the calf kicked him on the
shin, and butted him in the condenser
so that he sat down on the curbstone and
tried to die easy. Then the boy and cal
entangled themselves and started dowr
the street like mail train behind time
stopped suddenly, and the boy fell ovel
it and lost the rope. The calf at onct
took to its heels, every boy in the street
running after and grabbing at the rope
until it got tangled in the bridge, wher
his conductor caught him by the ear anC
tail, and a lively fight took place al
across the bridge and out of sight, while
everybody along the street proceeded tt

SINGING IN THE FAMILY.

Cultivate singing in the family, Begin
when the child is not yet three years DID,
The songs and hymns your mother sang,
bring them all back to your memory, and
teach them to your little ones; mix them
all together, to meet the similar moods,
as in after life they come over us SO mys-
teriously sometimes. Many time, and
in the very whirl of business, in the sun.
shine and gayety of the streets, amid the
splendor of the drives in a park, some
little thing wakes up the memories of
early youth-the old mill, the cool spring
the shady tree by the little school house
and the next instant we almost see
again the ruddy cheeks, the smiling faces
and the merry eyes of schoolmates, some
grayheaded now, most "lie mouldering
in the grave" And "the song your
mother sang" springs unbidden to your
lips, and soothes and sweetens all these
memories.
At other times, amid the crushing mis-.
haps of business, a merry little ditty of
the elden time pops up its little head
breaks in upon the ugly train of thought
and throws the mind into another chan
mel; light breaksin from behind the cloud
in the sky, and new courage is given to
us. The honest man goes singing to his
work, and when the days labor is done
his tools laid aside, and he is on his way
home where wife, and child and tidy ia.
BILE and cheerful fireside await him, he
cannot but whistle or sing.

of deliberately picking up his child, a
boy of eleven years, and throwing Linn
upon large FIRE, was sentenced by the
Nottingham magistrate to one months
imprisonment at hard labor, At the
Surrey Sessions, 1877, man convicted
of stealing a penny, was sentenced to six
months imprisonment at hard labor. A.

consciousness, inflicted upon her serious
wounds, which resulted in partial par.
alysis of one leg, received a sentence of
four months imprisonment. A poor
woman, who pleaded guilty of stealing

A woman who was convicted of knock.
ing child of few months old, against
the ground and the wall, the infant was
picked up stunned and bleeding, was
sentenced to one months imprisonment
the magistrate adding severely, that
"she might have killed the child"
About the same time child of ten, who
had picked a house.leek valued at four
pence, was sentenced to twenty'one days

atrocity Of this last sentence CCCasioned
one OF those spasms of Indignation which

WHAT SMOKING DOES FOR BOYS.

A certain doctor, struck with the large
number of boys under fifteen years oi
age whom he observed smoking, was led
to inquire into the effect the habit had
upon the general health. He took for
this purpose thirty. eight boys, aged from
nine to fifteen, and carefully examined
them; in twenty.seyen of them he dis.
covered injurious traces of the habit. In
twenty two there were various disorders
of the circulation and digestion, palpita-
ton of the heart, aud more or less
marked taste for strong drink. In twelve
there was frequent bleeding of the nose
ten had disturbed sleep, and twelve had

given under the authority of the British

According to the latest returns, the
Democrats will have 151, the Republic
cans 1877, and the Greenbackers 10 in the
new House. It is only fair to assume
that the vacancy in this State will be fill
ed by republican, as the district was
carried by Republican majority at the
late election This would raise the Re
publican column to 1873 1t is useless to
speculate about California, because of the
uncertain action of the third party there,
which may capture two districts. Diyi-
ding the delegation as at present, the re-
sult would be; Democrats 1913: Repubii-
cans 1870: and Nationals 10. In this esti-
mate the Greenbacker from Indiana and
the two from Maine are placed under that
head, though assigned to the Democratic
column by their partisan papers. On
political questions separate from the cur
rency, the Greenbackers may beexpected
to vote according to their past PARTIAL
ties, and six of the ten will doubtless side
with the Democrats. Leaving the Green.
would have, according to this estimate, a
plurality of % over the Republicans, and
a majority OF ID over the Republicans
and Greenbackers combined, or exactly
the same number they had at the open
ing of the present Congress, before the
contested seats were considered. There
are two or three districts yet hanging by
the eyelids, but of course the Democrats
after getting possession Of the House,
will follow III the footsteps Of Republi-
can precedent, and decide them in their
own favor. Altogether, when things
settle down, and the lines are drawn
tightly, the Democratic majority in the
House will probably fall between fifteen
and twenty.-N Y. SIN.

TT makes al the difference in the world
with republicans as ''to whose OK is gored"
in Florida. Notice the following from
the Eccaiag Wisconsin:
The republicans of the second district
of Florida elected their candidate, Bis
bee, TO Congress, but the Democratic
canvasSers of Alachua county undertook
to count him out, by throwing out the
votes of three precincts. ON some pretext
or other. These three precincts gaze a
majority for Bisbee of $50. and by throw
ing them out Hull Democrat, was elected
by small majority. An appeal was
made to the Supreme Court to decide
upon the validity Of the returns, and that
tribunal, on Thursday, declared the re-
leoted returns good and valid, and issued
a peremptory writ to the board to count
them. Bisbee thus had some 200 ma.
jority. 1t requires some cour.
age in any southern state to brave the
bulldOZing Democracy, and the Supreme
Court deserves the thanks of every lover
Of fair elections for this act of undoubted
justice. Such court in Louisiana and
South Carolina would have frustrated
some of the Infamous frauds upon the
freedom of the ballot perpetrated at the
last elections.
The supreme court of Florida in 1876
received no praise from republican jour
nails when it tried to .frustrate the iu-
famous frauds" by which Eayes was
elected, and the WISCONSIN at that time
thought that throwing OK. precints giving
a democratic majority was pEaiseworthy
proceeding. What a change has co,ne
over the spirit of its dream in that Short
interval.
