GAMBETTA's NEIGHBOR IN AMERICA
from the Indianapolis News

from the lnulanapOus NOVEL,
"Yes," said Father Bessonics, in answer to ques-

France from the town of Cahors. in the borders of
Gascony. BY the way. Gambctta. now President Of
the Chamber Of Deputies. lived there at time.
Years ago his father. Italian. came there from
Genoa and opened little shop above which he swung
a siglboard, Bazaar Genois'-in English, Genoese
bazar-where he sold olives. dates, oranges, &C.

that while there he told his father that he wanted

said, and soon after told his father that he would
put out his other eye unless he took him away when
his parent removed him immediately. IL In said
however, that he really lost his eye when boy

me from Cahors that since 6ambctta has risen In the
world and the old gentleman has retired from the
fruit trade, he takes umbrayo at the sign which is
still swinging above the door OF the old shop. and
has gone to the proprietor asking that it be taken
down. This his successor refuses TO do, saying he
bought good will. sign and everything so his proud
heart must fret on"
A few years ago Gambetta was visited by several
clergymen who had been his school fellows. He told
them he was glad to them, and sad.-"Ah, my

At this point the general debate closed,
and the bill was considered under the
five-minute rule.
Mr.. Garfield said that during the past
four days fifteen or twenty demolitions
of his argument OF last Saturday had
been made in the presence OF the House
and Of the country. All OF them
save one had alleged that
he held it to be revolutionary
TO place this legislation on an appropria-
ton bill. II they had any particular
pleasure in setting up man OF straw to
knock him down again, they had en-
loved that pleasure. He had never
claimed that il was either revolution
ary or unconstitutional to put a rider
upon an appropriation bill no man on
the Republican side had claimed that,
the most that had been said was, that 1t
was considered a bad parliamen-
tary practice, which all parties in
the country had repeatedly said.
The gentleman from kentuckey Black
burn had thought that he was espec.
tally severe in showing that he Gar
field1 had insisted on the passage Of the
conference report in 1872 in an appro-
priatlon bill that had rider 10 IT, and
had said that it was revolutionary in the
Democratic party to resist. What he
lGarfield had said on that occasion, and
what he said now was, that it was reyo-
lutionary in the gentleman party TO
refuse to let the appropriation bill be
voted on.
Mr.. New offered an amendment pro-
viding that nothing in the section shall
be construed aa abridging or affecting
the duty or power Of the President, un-
der the Constitution, to send troops on
the application Of the Legislature or
Executive of State.
Mr.. Baker, Ind, offered an amend

lawful for any person TO have on his
person firearms, bowie knives, clubs or
bludgeons in the vicinity OF the place
where an election is being held.

Bakers amendment as not germain TO
any army bill encountered good share
of opposition from Mr.. Conger, against
whom he threatened TO call in the ser

Mr. Conger replied with defiance.
Finally, however, the angry passions
subsidized, the committee rose and the
House, after ordering all debate on the

a notorious East Wheeling rough, who
is well known to our police force, was

cribed how she had scratched his

i'm the Scutiie, pulled from one OF his
fingers. Upon examination, the marks
OF the ring were discovered. The pris-
oncr was fined $50 and costs, and then

committed him to Jail, without bail, for
an examination on the charges made by
the old woman. The case will be heard

The Zulu War.


LONDON, April A special supple
ment to the London Gazette has been
issued containing dispatch from
Lord Chelmsford, enclosing a report
dated March lst from Bender, agent at
Umvitti, to the effect that the ines
sengers from King Cetewayo had ar
rived there. Cetewayo asks the mis-
sionary bishop to explain, that he did
not desire war, and was sending per
sons whose surrender had been
demanded ~ the British TO be delivered
to General Roorkesdrift, when his mes
sengers and pickets were fired on, and
battle unpremeditatedly occurred.
The Zulu General who permitted the
battle to occur is now in disgrace.
CetewayO now asks resumption Of
negotiations, with view to the
permanent settlement Of all the con-
tested questions.
The messengers, in reply to the
question stated that the Zulu army has
dispersed to their homes. The above
confirms the reports which were cur
rent at Cape Town on March llth, that
Cetewayo hal made Overtures far peace,
and which reports were discredited at
the time. The overtures do not seem To
have caused more peaceful feeling.

Fire and LOSS of Life.

ST. Louis, April "A fire broke out

spread TO the rear Of Altheimer &
Whites wholesale hat and cap house,
No. AIS Washington avenue, and the

fatally wounding another, Billy Retz,
and badly injuring two or three others.
The fire is now (midnightl under CON
troll, and has not extended beyond the
block in which it started. Altheimer
