A Memorial Light in the Window.

Next time you go out on the Michigan
Central Road, take seat on the right
hand side of the car, so that you may
notice, about ten miles down the road,
little old red farmhouse. The curtains
will be down, the doors shut, and rank
weeds and tall grasses will meet the fly
ing glance in the front yard. A month
ago old Nan Rogers lived there; to-day
the place is in the keeping of rats and
mice and desolation. The old woman
was a widow and childless. If she had
relative anywhere in this great world,
those who buried her were not aware of
the fact She lived all alone, having
only bit of land, and being aided by
kind neighbors to raise enough to supply
her wants. Seven or eight years ago,
when her last child left her home to
meet violent death on this same road,
the men of the rails became interested
in that quaint old farmhouse. One
night they saw a bright light in one of
the windows. Its rays streamed out
over the flowers and full upon the rails
along which the wheels thunder, and
the engineer wondered over the signal.
The lamp was there the next night and
the next, and it was never missed for a
single night until one evening a month
ago. Old Nan, deprived of husband
and children, made friends with
the rushing trains and their burdens.
| The train-men soon found that
the lamp was for them, and
they watched for it. During the early
evening hours they saw old Nanny's
/ 4. l.. Il Al Igrh+ Of
and a thousand times conductors, en-
gineers, and brakemen have called
cheerily through the darkness. "GOOd
night old Nanny, God bless you!"
| Winter and summer the train-men looked
for it and the more thoughtful ones
often left bit of money with the station
men beyond to help the old woman to
keep the brightlight shining. The lamp
was not there for one train but for all,
and all men understood the sentiment
and appreciated it.
One dark night not long ago, when
the wind .howled and the raindrOps beat
! fiercelv against headlight and cab, the
engineer missed the signal-light. They
looked for it again and again, as one
suddenly misses an old landmark in a
city, and when they failed to find 1t
hand instinctively went up to the throt-
| tie, as if danger lurked on the curve be-
low. Each train that night looked for
/ the signal, became anxious at its absence
and made inquiries at the stations above
and below. Next day men went down
to the little old house, fearing old Nanny
might be ILL., There sat the lamp on the
window-sill, but the oil was exhausted.
In her bed, seeming to have only fallen
asleep, was the poor old woman cold
and dead. Life and lamp had gone out
together, and men of rough look and
hardened heart replied as they heard
the news: Poor old woman! May
her spirit rest in heaven! ''-DetrOit Free

Brave Kavanagh.

Perhaps the most daring deed that
ever won old England's Legion of Honor
was that which was successfully per-
formed by Kavanagh during the Indian
Mutiny. Lucknow was besieged, and its
garrison was starving. Besides the lit
tie band of devoted men, there were
also women and children cOoped up in
the Residency, at the mercy of some 3d.
600 or ZOO savage and relentless foes.
Daily, nav hourly, the little garrison was
growing weaker and weaker, and nearer
and nearer were pressing the dusky
sepoys, until it became a matter of life
and death to the heroic few that Sir Colin
Campbell, who was known to be advanc
inc to their relief, should be ut once in
formed of their real state, and their ut
ter inability to hold out much longer.
A volunteer was called for, a man who
would consent to be disguised as a sepoy,
and who would risk his life among the
mutineers, in order to make the best of
his way to the advancing army. The
call was Immediately responded to-as
it generally is by Britons in the moment
/ of supreme danger-and two or three
men expressed their willingness to un-
! dertake the task. From these brave
volunteers an Irishman named Kavanagh
was chosen, who, to his other various
qualifications, added a knowledge of the
enemy's customs, and thorough ac-
uuaintance with their language. The
commandment shook the brave man by
the hand, and frankly informed him of
the dangerous nature of the task he had
undertaken; how it was more than
probable that he might meet his death
In the attempt. But the gallant fellow
persisted, and his skin was at once col
Ored by means of burned cork and other
materials to the necessary hue. Hewa
then dressed in the regular outfit of a
sepoy soldier. When night set in he
started on his lonely and perilous mis-
sion, amid the hearty GOd-speeds'' of
the furnishing garrison. In his breast
he carried dispatches for Sir Colin
Campbell, with the cotents of which he
had been made acquainted, in case OF
their loss. We have not the space al
our command to give all the particulars
of his remarkable journey. He sue
ceeded, however, after many narrow
escapes and great notwithstanding
+, which he often had to pass night after
night in the detested enemy's camp and
to march shoulder to shoulder with then
t in the daytime; and, when he left them
to swim across rivers, or to craw
t through the tangled thickets where the
, deadly tiger asserts his sway-in reach
: ing Sir Colin Campbell's camp; where
to finish his stirring adventures, he wa.
! fired at and nearly shot by the British
outposts. Kavanagh's narrative wa'
listened to with rapt attention by Sil
, Colin, who Immediately gave orders fol
the army to advance as quickly as posi-
l BILE to the aid of the gallant defenders o
, the Residency. How the latter were
rescued is matter of history. Kavan
, agh lived long enough to wear his cross
r hough he lost his life shortly afterwarC
, in battle with the same enemy; but thu
noble example he left behind him wa
not lost on the brave hearts who event
ually saved India for England.-Chan

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The debate
on the Army Appropriation bill began
this afternoon with a speech by Mr.. Car
penter. Evidently another scene or some
great effort was expected, for the CALLER
les and floor were crowded with . mass
of eager listeners, but there was neither
a scene nor great speech and towards
evening the galleries became compara-
lively empty.
Mr.. Carpenter was followed by Mr..
ingalls,, who proceeded to read long set
speech approving the Presidents vetoes.
He began by TRADE against the Presi-
dent as he was when surrounded by po-
litical visionaries and preaching the gos-
pei of reconciliation and closed by a
eulogy of him as he is now when he fol-
lows the lead of the stalwarts OF his par
ty.
Mr.. Conkling began to speak on the
bill at 10 O'Clock. He waited until the
last moment when speech could be
made. After the Chair had put the
question, "Shall the bill now be passed."
and when the expectation was that IL
would pass at once, he rose In the hush
of expectation proceeding the final vote
{; II began the effort Of the crowd had ,oms
80 near. 1t was the dreaI Test speech the
| New York Senator has delivered this
session. The noteworthy feature Of il
was the evident purpose of Mr.. Conkling
| to appear to speak for the Republican
party. 1t is generally understood that
the stalwarts in theSenate nOwthink they
have thePresident where theywanthim an
where they have been trying to get him
all through the session. They have
been hoping that the President would
sign some bill they had opposed. They
want the opportunity to point to the re-
creancy Of Mr.. Hayes to his party. They
think they have accomplished this now,
for the Presidents friends give out that
he will certainly sign the Army bill Mr..
Conkling's speech is therefore intended
to formulate the doctrine of the Reptb-
lican party in this bill.
| A. M.-Mr. ConkliDg spoke until
1915, and was followed by MIR. Eaton
who spoke a short time. In concluding
he said that he hoped that the gentleman
at the other end of the avenue would
sign the bill and he thought that doing
so he would not lay himself open to the
charge of Mr.. Blaine that he would there
by write himself down an ass. Mr.
Blaine said that he had used the expires.
sion with reference 10 the Judicial bill
but that he would extend it to the Army
bill very willingly.
At l2:45 o'clock General Burnsid,
threw a bombshel into the Republican
camp by declaring that he didn't believe
in the use of troops at the polls. Whei
he sat down Senator Bayard rose an,
) made brilliant speech in spite of TIN
continued Interruptions of Mr.. Blaine.
IA. M.-The Army bill has just pass
ed by 30 to ia party vote, except tina
7 Mr.. Burnside voted in the ailirmativ
l | with the Democrats. The Senate the
| adjourned.
The daily gazette., 1879-06-21

The Army Bill passed the Senate this
morning after an all-night session, with
out amendment, and just as it came from
the House. 1t will soon be in the hands
of the Presi lent awaiting his signature
or his veto. He has already in his pos
session the legislative bill the judicial
bill is yet to be acted on by committee
Of conference, deferred because Of un-
reasonable objections from the Stalwart
Republicans, whose factious efforts, ac-
cording to the correspondent of the New
York Herald in another column, were to
secure Grant and bayonets for 1880 and
1881. 1t is now said the President will
sign these bills, and from the way the
Herald and other Independent papers
have shaped their editorials, we presume
they have had all mkling to that effect.
The Philadelphia Times says: at would
be an insult to the intelligence of the
President to suppose that he would do
anything but sign these bills, and that
without moment of unnecessary delay
Any objection that has been made tC
either of them has emanated from tn,
most contemptibly partisan spirit, and i
entitled to no consideration whatever
The President has it in his power to dt
the country great service by bringing
about peace upon the honorable term'

The Presidency.

The New York World has become an
open advocate for the nomination OF
Senator Bayard for the Presidency in
1880. 1t says :-"New York, Connect
cut and New Jersey are Democrat States
or a fair and full vote, and they uphold
in general the financial opinions which
have Just been so manfully vindicated
by Mr.. Bayard. OF this there can be no
more reasonable doubt than of the fur
.her pi opo,i ,i,ion that if Mr.. Bay ard were
nominated for the Presidency by ma
tioual Democratic convention on his OWE
platform he would carry those three
States against any candidate whom the
Republicans could possibly bring into
the field against him. Mr.. Bayard would
do this bee ,use the personal and public
record of his lite would eUlst in his be-
half the no-party vote which will most
assur, dly carry those three States with
els ever that vote goes, while IL Is ex-
tremely doubtful as matters now stand
whe her any other Democrat who has
been prominently namedas III residential
candidate could command the no-party
vote in those three States against Gen
eral 1rart. General Grant Undoubtedly
would be the strongest candidate the Re
publicans can name in those three Sta e.
and perhaps it is wise, therefore, to as
sumo that General Grant will IN 1880 b.
nominated by the far-seeing Republican
managers.
Mr.. Hayes, Mr.. Sherman or Mr.. Blain
could be easily defeat in New Iork, \
Jersey and Connecticut by Mr.. Tilden
But Sir. Tilden could not hold The nt
party voters of New York, Connecticu
and New Jersey as against Grant. Th
issues of 1876 ON which Mr.. Tilden woul
win overwhelmingly as against Mr.. Hay
es are the very issues on which the NJ
, party voters, we fear, would go wit
General Grant against Mr.. Tilden. Fe
sagacious Republicans In those Stat
: would expect victory in conflict b
I tween Mr.. Bayard and General Gran
but all sagacIous Republicans would e
u pect victory in those States in cohfii
+ between Mr.. Tilden and General Graz
II The Republican hopes for 1850 in Il
part of the country rest, we believe,
the impression that the solid South "
u not be solid for Mr.. Bayard, aud IL
e the West can defeat him if the Sou
is desert him.

THE late election in California is one
Of the marvels of politics. All the wealth
of the mines and great miners and
bankers, and all the professions were
thought to be on one side. And it was
anticipatinp a tremendous victory over
the s.nd-lot orator and his party. But
the result showed to the astonishment OF
both sides that the victory was not where
the newspapers predicted it would be,
and q majority of ten thousand was
found 10 be in favor of Kearney's party,
who are now arrayed again for another
trial at the polls.
