THE KENOSHA TELEGRAPH
KENOSHA, WIS, APRIL II, 1872

SENATOR CARPENTER s obsence from
the Senate, Of which the papers have
said considerable and sometimes Sc
verely censured, is accounted for by
the Wisconsin State Journal as. fol.
lows:
"A private letter just received from
Washington, gives the best Of reasons
for this absence, and affords ample ex-
cuse for it, The letter states that Sen
ator Carpenter has had severe attack
Of rheumatism, that confined him to
his room for about Two weeks. 1t
further states that he has now SO TAR
recovered from the attack as to De
able to occupy his seat in the Senate,
and will no doubt do his full share or
the work of that body. We make this
statement in justice to Senator Car
pellter, and hope such papers as nave
censllred him ON account OF his absence
from the Senate, will at least give the
reasons for. his absence. Sickness IS
excuse enough for any man."
Rheumatism severe enough to con-
41ne a Senator to his room for two
weeks is excuse enough for his not be-
ing in his seat in the Senate. But how
will the State Journal account for
news Of Senator Carpenters severe at
tack of rheumatism that confined him
to his room for two weeks, failing to
aeach the papers and the people till a
private letter from Washington to the
State Journal gave the news to the
Journrz and the Journal to the people?
What could The news reporters at
Washington have been doing?

How LINCOLN TOLD SEcREr.-The
following story about President Lincoln,
which may not be new to all Of our read
ers, was recently repeated by Bishop
Simpson: l was informed one day that a
committee from New York composed of
leading citizens, went to see him in refer.
ence to the conduct Of the war. After
they had transacted their general business,
and the committee were making their way
to the door-he was standing 10 the other
part of the room-one of the gentlemen,
who presumed, on his acquaintance with
Mr.. Lincoln, to ask particularly searchiny :
questions, stepped up to him, and in the
lowest tone of voice, said: "Mr, President,
| would like to know where Burnside's
fleet is going" Burnside had just sailed
with feet, but the destination was un.
known, "Well," said Mr.. Lincoln, in low
tone of voice, "wouId you very much like
to knowg' "Yes," he said he would
"WeIl, now," said Mr.. Lincoln, "if would
tell you, perhaps you would tell some one
else" NO." said he, II would not" Then
Mr.. Lincoln, putting up his hand to his
face, and, as if to whisper. said, loud
enough for all to hear: Hes gone tc
sea!

A PAT RspLY.-The warmth Of the
true Irish heart and the quickness Of the
true Irish tongue are proverbia', and fee
BILE must be the city Of distress or brilliant
the wit that does not solicit sympathetic
response from the genuine son or laughter
Of the Emerald Isle. Not very long ago a
little boy whose parents died was sent te
the orphan asylum, bnt the place was so
distasteful to him that be soon ran away,
and back to his own neighborhood. Liv-
ing in the vicinity was an old Irish woman,
whom we will call Kate, and poor though
she was, with large family, she took the
orphan in and cared for him as her own,
The other day she was 10 the city maklna 4
some purchase and in one Of the stores a
gentleman, who WAS conversant with the
facts in the case, asked after the boy.
''Ob. an he's foine boy, sir, an glad
am to have him with ms"
"WelI, we'll, Kate, if there is heaven j,
the next world ycn will get to it."
! A quick as lightning came the reply
with all the heartiness Of he race. "Go3

the gate open for yoa." !

A CHARGE INTO THE Jaws OF DEATH.

A CHARGE INTO THE Jaws OF DEATH.
The respect pa;e to courage by the w.'-
like tribes Of the Anglo Ind'an border is
strikingIy illustrated by an episode. of
Napier's famous campaign in Sclude. A
detachment had been sent against one OF
the bravest of the native tribes, almost
every warrior of which bore the proof of
his valor in the green thr, al tied around
his waist, badge more priz'd by the "hl|t
men" than the Cross of the L-gion of
Honor by French soldier. In the course
of the skirmishing that ensued, an Eng
lsh sergeant and eleven of his men, mis-
taking the order given them, advanced up
a narrow gully, where they suddenly found
themselves confronted by more than 100
Of the enemy. The gallant handful charg,
ed without moments hesitation, and were
slain to man. after killing nearly thirty of
their opponents. When the last English
man had fallen, the old chief Of the tribA,
one of the most renowned warriors of
Northern India, turned to hi. men and
said: "How say ye, my sons? were these
Feringhees (Europeans) brave men?' "The
bravest we have ever met" answered the
mountaineers with one voice. "Then,"
cried the old man, taking the precious
thread from his own wrist and fastening il
to that of the dead sergeant, "bind the
green thread upon them all, and not around
one wrist only, but around both. Uube
levers though they be, there are no braver
souls in Heaven; aud it may be that when
God sees how We have decorated them He
will grudge such heroes to Shaitsun (Sat
ta) and give them place beside his
throne"
