The Burnside and Conkling Quarrel.
THE GREAT SENATOR FROM NEW YORK TRIMMED
HIS NAILS.

Burnside mumbled his words so at first
that few could hear what he was saying.
ConkliDg, in particular, appeared anxious
to hear what Burnside was saying. He
crossed over very near him and said, in
a slightly arrogant way: What do you
say l don't understand you" Burn
side flushed as red as a turkey cock,
thinking Conkling was desirous of inter
rupting him, and abruptly raised his
right hand, waving off Conkling as he
said Il decline to yield, l decline to
allow you to say a word, sir. until | have
finished what l am saying. His manner
was the height of discourtesy, and Conk-
ling returned abruptly to his seat and
waited until Burnside sat down. Then
Conkling stood up, and Immediately the
Senators turned their attention to him
A few crossed over to seats near him
Mr.. Conkling was perfectly cool and self
possessed. His manner did not betray
the slightest irritability. In his most
sarcastic tones he said he has generally
believed that the Senators observed in
their ordinary usage the courtesy that
was due between gentlemen. 1t was a
subject of heartfelt regret with him that
the Senator from Rhode Island had for
gotten to use even the courtesy of gen
tleman, however much of a struggle it
might have been over his ordinary nature.
He had approached the representative of
the proud, cultivated intellect of Rhode
Island with what he had thought was the
proper amount of Difference. The gifted
Senator's discourse was uttered in that
key that had made his valued utterances
unintelligible to his patient admirers
He, the humblest of his admirers, had
presumed to timidly ask what train of
thought or what statement Of fact had
been presented by the gifted Senator and
when repelled by boorish brutality, he
could but charitably hope that the. gifted
Senator was not really himself He
would say further that the gifted Senator
from Rhode Island was as much mistak-
en- in his assertion of facts as he was in
his lack of manners. He had asked, in
season and out of it, that this nomina-
ton be postponed and it had been out of
pure courtesy to the gifted Senator that
the postponement had been made. Such
talk as this aggravated Burnside nearly
into a fit Of womauly Mysteries. He
flushed stammered, hawed and hemmed,
and the moment Conkling sat down he
was promptly upon his feet Conkling
had been very careful in his language to
keep entirely within parliamentary
bounds Burnside completely lost con-
troll of himself and at once got raped
across the knhckles by the Chair, who
called him to order. Burnside screamed
with anger as he asserted that what
Conkling had said was not true. He did
not give the lie direct, but so plainly in
sinuated it that Hoar called him to Or
der. Conkling paid no sort of attention
to Burdside further. He deliberately
trimmed his nails as Burnside fourished
on.

Shocking Murder at Nashville.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, February 25.-Thom-
as Merriman deliberately murdered his
mother in law in the outskirts of Nash
Vile at 130 o'clock this afternoon. Hav
ing got drunk he beat his wife until her
face had swollen out Of all proportions,
and she could no longer see. Leaving
her weeping and wailing over the severe
punishment he had given her, he went
to the house of his father-in-law, Morris
Osborne, and inquired for his daughter
Carrie, who was visiting her grandpar-
ents, saying that he wanted her to come
out and place herself before double
barrel shot gun he held in his hands
Fearing evil, the daughter refused to go
out Mrs Caroline Osborne, Merriman' s
mother-in, law, went to the door and
commenced to demonstrate with him,
when he placed the muzzle against her
stomach and fired, the heavy load of
slugs making a CHASTITY wound six inches
in circumference in her groin. She fell
from the door dead. Speaking to her
husband, then in the yard. he remarked:
Say not a word, for if you do, Cd d-n
you, | will kill you" Merriman then
fed toward the cane brakes, ten miles
distant. The Sheriff and posse are
following in pursuit. The deceased was
sixty years old Merriman had several
years ago threatened her life, but had
lately been on good terms. The murder
was wholly without cause or provocation,
and if caught Merriman will meet with
summary punishment at the hands of the
community, which is up in arms against
him
LATER.-Merriman was arrested at the
house of his son-in- law, nine miles from
Nashville. He asserts that the gun was
accidentally discharged.

Beecher on Treaty Breaking.

In his lecture on Tuesday evening the
Boston journal says Mr.. Beecher spoke
as follows
Considering next the relations between
the two countries, having by her own
right hand led China out of her seclusion
and into the ranks of nations and made
a solemn treaty with her, what does the
United States propose to do? Reconsider
that treaty and abolish it? No 1t means
in the most dastardly and cowardly man.
ner to pretend to keep the treaty, but at
the same time to render it invalid. For
this great and sovereign Nation to palter
with its treaty with that far oriental and
future Nation and abrogate treaty by
so despicable device as that, to mark
itself down as treaty breaking Nation,
to write on its brow the word "bully"-
for it would not dare to break a treaty
with Great Britain, nor with France nor
with Germany in any such mode as that
is mean and short sighted beyond ex-
preston, and man who advocates such
a policy as that-who undertakes. while
that treaty is in vogue, to break it-I
would never lift hand to vote for and
would stigmatize as a betrayer of his
country. 1t is not an outrage against
China; it is an outrage against the Uni
ted States of America. 1t is not wrong
done to the Mongolian it is a wrong
done to every American. l plead for
the Chinaman, because l plead for my
country and for its Constitution, its hon
or, its integrity, for myself and for my
children, and for the future generations
that shall come up in the days that are
before US. l plead that the escutcheon
of this Nation may not be spotted or
tainted and that demagogues may not,
tor base temporary uses, place you and
me and our posterity in the position OF
treaty breakers, of bullying strong men
assaiiing the rights of the weak and
treading them under foot.

cure the nomination of such candidates
know little of the principles Of either
party, and care less. They are simply
looking after men to serve their hell
born purposes. Have not the best men
in both parties as much interest in unit
ing as these men have? And isn't it
about time they had SO united, in order
to teach the lesson to both parties, that
no unfit nomination can be endorsed at
the ballot-box? +? If the best men are not
yet ready for this work, then surely the
best men still need good deal of pulpit
instruction.

Heaven.
BY FANNIE j. CROSBY.

Oh, where shall human grief be stilled
And joy for pain be given,
Where dwells the sunshine of love
In which the soul may always rove?
A sweet voice answered-heaven.
heart, said, when death shall come
And all thy cords be riven,
What lies beyond the swelling tide,
The same sweet voice to mine replied
In loving accents-heaven.
Where where shall friendship never die?
Nor parting hand be given?
My heart was filled with strange delight,
For in that silent hush of night,
I heard the answer-heayen.
o voyager on life's fitful sea,
By stormy billows driven
Say, what can Soothe thy aching breast,
Or give thee comfort, joy and rest,
Like mother, home and heaven?

And the garment of life weave for Deity

The river comes from the mountains
And flows to the mighty sea,
And, moved by its calm, strong current,
The mills whirr ceaselessly.
The shuttles hum and clatter,
And, darting to and fro,
Weave, in their constant motion,
The fabric as they go.
So the calm, strong life around us
Moves the busy lives we see,
That bear the woof of duty
Through the warp of eternity.
