LAMAR On sEYrnsoS DAVIS.
4 sIinEInEi RebHke Go sraatSr JtoHr -
NuitHFr and Sot aR Eagle"

WAsuuNGroN, March During the
debate on last Saturday night on the
Pension Appropriation Bill, there oc.
Cured an angry passage between Scna-
tors Honr and Lamar over the JeiTer-
son Davis amendment Lamar's reply
TO Hoar's attack on Davis was one Of
the most effective thrusts ever heard in
the Senate Chamber Lamar indig.
nsntly replied to Hoars inaiauations.
and closed with the following s,inging
rebuke; "Sir, / do not wish to make
any remarks here that will engender
any excitement or discussion, but | say
that the Senator from Massachusetts
connected that name JEFF Davisl with
treason. We all know that the results
of this war have attached to the people
Of the South the technical crime of re-
bellion, and we submit to it; but that
was not the sense in which tho gentle
man used the term as applied TO Mr..
Davis. He intended to aifix-I will
not say he intended-but the inevita-
bic effect of it was to aiiix upon this
aged man, this man broken in fortune,
suffering from bereavement, an epithet
of odium, an imputation of moral tur-
pitude. Sir, it required no courage to
do that; it required no magnanimity to
do it; it required no courtesy. 1t only
required hate, bitter, malignant sec
tional feeling, and sense of personal
impunity. The gentleman, / believe,
takes rank among Christian Statesmen.
He might have learned better lesson
even from the pages of mythology.
When Prometheus was bound to
the rock, it was not an eagle, it was
vulture that buried his beak in the
tortured vitals of the victim"
Those who witnessed the scene say
that Mr.. Hoar's face aurned white at
the comparison made by the Senator
from Mississippi.

"ROss" WIVES.

The boss wife is the wife who thinks
she rules and doesn't the baby wife d,
the wife who governs and don't know
it. And men like to be governed by
babies, not bosses.
This is awfully humiliating, but it's
fact
Nothing demoraliz.s a man SO effec-
tually as to discover that he has mar
ried somebody drawer and stronger than
himself.
A baby wife never let's him discover
it. 1t is enough for her if everybody
else knows it.
Men have strange fondness for
weak women-that is, women who ap-
pear to be weak.
They desire to be protectors and
champions before they are 10 years old.
Nothing is so aggravating to the urchin
as to appear to be ruled hy woman.
As rule, this is the fellow that in
evitably is ruled by one without ever
knowing it, and he is always a mascu-
line fellow. Mark that.
Your effeminate fellow rebels against
womanly influence, and founders about
it in most distressing thraldon, and
never is ruled by woman or anything
else.
The one redeeming trait in all boss
wives is the woman in them. | never
saw boss wife who didn't have femi-
nine spells. Some of them retire to
their rooms once in three or four
weeks, stop up the key hole, and have
a good cry before the glass. Then they
come out refreshed and ready for bust
ness again.

PHILADELPHIA is opposed to paying
any part of the $4,O00,oOO added to
the debt of Allegheny county, in which
Pittsburg is situated, incurred by the
riot of 1877. The Ledger says the
share of Philadelphia would be more
than $I,O0O,OOO, which it thinks is
pretty big price to pay 'for the bene-
fit of the city whose encouraged unre-
strained rufians shot down in cold

SILVER NINE ROMAXCEs.

About ten o'clock yesterday morning
n crowbar was dropped down the main
vertical shaft of the Savage from the
surface, and Swent directly through a
cage at the bottom, piercing the bonnet
and floor. No one was on the cage at
tho time, and no one was hurt, yet it is
unpleasant to one making trip into 4
mine to reflect that such things some
times occur. AS the bar fell some
thing over 500 feet, it was travelling
with rapidity and vim when it struck
the cage. A bit of gravel no larger
than tilbert sings like bullet toward
the latter part of such journey. A
dog once fell into shaft at Gold Hill,
and, though the shaft was but 800 feet
in depth, two men upon whom the ami
NAL landed were killed, as was also the
clumsy cur who failed to hop across the
top of the shaft. A rat once fell down
the Consolidated Virginia shaft in at
tempting to spring across a compart-
.ment from wall plate to wall plate, and
LOO feet below landed on the bald
head of a miner and exploded like a
bomb, causing the miner to think rock
had cut open the top of his skull and
let out his brains. A grain of bird
shot dropped into the top of shaft
1900 feet deep would probably bury it.

might happen to strike at the bottom.
