The FoRTY-FIFTu Congress which
expired at high twelve, March, 4th is
receiving few encomiums from the press
Of the nation. 1t is accounted "the
most disgraceful," the ''most worth
less, ]" an 'absolute failure, > etc. The
good word spoken is certainly the ex-
ception, while the unkind-the CRITICS
ing words are the rule, and they come
from every quarter. The forty-fth
congress Is not altogether a failure.
1t might have been worse. Several
billions Of dollars might have been ex-
pended, but thanks to the '45th, a." it
has confined itself to the millions
Then Don Piatt got licked. To be
sure he might have been faxed, any
how, but re know positively that he
,oas licked during the life of the
''45th." Again Burnside called
Conkling liar. Now if congress had
not been in session probably Burnside
would nave found no opportunity to
give Roscoe a word that in former
years meant coffee and pistols fot two.
Then brus5 you know, tela tho south
that they aoc dry up on the south
ern claim business. and the Potter
committee has petered out, and-but
why recount the glories of the gallant
old "45." 4 failure Call the
"45th" congress failure? You
might, with the same consistency call
a yellow jacket failure because it
can't make clover honey.

overthrow of this government.

overthrow of this government. With
treason in his heart and perjury upon
his lips he took the oath to sustain the
government that he meant to over
throw. Sir. there was method IN his
madness. He, in cooperation with
other men from his section, and in the
cabinet of Mr.. Buchanan made care
ful preparations for the event that was
to follow. Your fleets we're scattered
wherever the winds blew and water
was found to float them, where they
could not be used to put down the re-
bellion. Your armies were scattered
all over this broad land, where they
could not be used in an emergency.
Your treasury was depleted until your
bonds bearing 6 per cent. interest,
principal and interest payable in coin,
were sold for Lightweight cents on the
dollar to pay current expenses and no
buyers. Preparations were carefully
made. Your arms were sold under an
apparently innocent clause in an army
bill providing that the secretary of war
might in his discretion, sell arms as he
deemed best for the interests of the
government to sell. Sir. eighteen years
ago last month [ sat in this hall and
listened to Jefferson Davis deliver his
farewell address informing US what
our constitutional duties to this gov
eminent were, and then he left and
entered into a rebellion to overthrow
the government he had sworn to sup
port. [ remained here, sir, during
the whole of that terrible rebellion.
| saw our brave soldiers by thous-
ands, l might say millions, as they
passed through here to the theatre of
war. | saw their shattered ranks re-
turning. [ saw steamboat after steam
boat and railroad train after railroad
train bringing back the wounded. /
[ was with my friend from Rhode
Island Mr.. Burnside) when he CON-
manded the army of the Potomac,
and saw piles of legs and armes that
made humanity shudder. l saw the
widows and orphans made by this
war and heard them wall and mourn
over the death Of their dearest and
best.
Mr.. President, I little thought at
that time that | should live to hear in
the senate of the United States eulo-
gies upon Jefferson Davis, a living
REBELLION the floor of the senate of
the United States Sir, am amazed
to hear it; and | can tell the gentle
men on the other side that they little
know the spirit of the north when
they come here this day, with bravado
on their lips, uttering eulogics upon
him whom every man. woman and
child in the north believe to have been
a double-dyed traitor"

Robert COlIyer's Rebuke.

The distinguished preacher, Rev
Robert Collyer, lately left fine church
in Chicago to accept the charge of one
of the wealthiest churches of New York
City. The practice prevails in many of
the New York churches of quietly slid
ING out of church as soon as the sermon
is finished and before the congregation
is dismissed This practice was noticed
by Mr. Collyer on the occasion of his
first sermon in New York, but no refer
ence was made to it. On the second
Sund ~, however, he took occasion to
administer a well-timed but severe re-
buke. He said:
"When | left Chicago | was told that
would find the people in New York
very much better hammered than those
/ had been among; but must say that
in two long years of my passionate in
Chicago never suffered from as much
ill-breeding as has been shown me in the
two Sundays have been among you. |
do not wish to become used to it; and If
the kind friends who have remained will
saw to the friends who have left tonight
that / can not stand it, and will not
stand it, they will have my thanks"
Hereafter the reverend gentleman will
not, in all probability. be annoyed by the
sliding out practice.

There is not only great diversity
in the shape, but wide range in the
sizes of the new bonnets. Both small
and large bonnets are therefore fashion
able, and each lady should choose the
style adapted to her own face. A new
shape Of round hat resembles a lady's
riding hat, but it is slightly bent on the
rim in front. In addition to this novel
ty are various jaunty shapes, turned up
on the sides, also turbans and the ever
popular English walking hat, for those
who prefer them. Peculiar beaver hats,
covered with long gray and brown hair
mixed with white, have soft, wide brims,
which the milliner turns up jauntily.
Felts come in many shapes and colors,
indeed some of the dress bonnets are
felts of light shade deliberately trimmed
with material to correspond. As rule,
however, bonnets for other than negIigee
wear are of material made on frame.

wolves make havoc among the cattle !;
even children and men sometimes fall
victims of their rapacity. On Aug. 10,
at noon, wolf made his appearance on
the streets of village in the province Of
Wilma, and seized boy 3years old, who
played in the yard near the house. On
hearing the cry of her child the mother
ran out of the house and was shocked at
seeing her boy in the teeth of a wolf
Her screams at once attracted many
people, who, together with the unhappy
mother, started in pursuit; but the wolf
with his victim in his teeth succeeded in
escaping to the neighbOring forest The
authorities and the villagers searched
the forest for two days, but without dis
covering any trace Of the child.

CAyAGNARPs DEATH.
The Story of the CabuI Massacre as Mar
rated by an Eyewitness.

The story of the CabuI Massacre as Mar
rated by an Eyewitness.
The best story of the Cabul massacre
is the following, taken down from the
lips of one of the survivors, and fur
nished to the London STANDARD. Says
the writer:
/ have Just had a long conversation
with one of Sir Louis Cavagnari's serv-
ants. who escaped he and three others
are, as far as is known, the sole surviv-
ors of the hideous massacre, OF which,
doubtless, you have been already in
formed by wire. The particulars of the
occurrences are as follows: At about
half-past seven a. m on the I'd crowds
of armed Afghan soldiers were per-
ceived rushing toward the Residency.
Sir Louis Cavagnari must have expected
something, as he ordered all the Sowars
inside, and had the gates closed. Soon
mob of about 1900 men had collected.
The gate was broken down, and in q few
seconds the SOwars, though they fought
nobly, were borne down by numbers
and massacred to man. A few sol
diers, with four white men, met the as
sault of the Infatuated throng, who, wild
with fanaticism and the eXultation of
feeling their prey in their grasp, swarmed
to the attack. No fiinching, no wild
firing was to be seen in the gallant little
band that met and repealed the attack
Again and again did the Afghans, like
recurring wave, forced on by the press
ure of those behind, vainly essay to win
their way into the house. Each effort but
increased the heap of slain that fast ac-
cumulated round the house. Cowed
by their reception, they withdrew to the
cover available from walls and houses,
and from their vantage ground poured
a hail of lead into every opening of the
building. Gallant Hamilton, so lately
I adorned with the Victoria Cross, adorned
it with his heroic bravery. He exposed
himself undoubtedly to the hottest fire !;
FOR time he seemed to bear charmed
life, but at length bullet pierced his
heart, and he fighting nobly fell. DR..
Kelly ran to his aid and a bullet speedily
laid him low, too. Jenkyns was the
next to fall Cavagnari, still unhurt,
cheered on the gradually lessening band !;
his presence inspired all. Cheerfully
and resolutely they dealt out death to
many treacherouS Afghan. Cayag-
mari would strike while he could; he or
-dered the treasure chest to be carried
into the courtyard; his fire momentari-
" ceased. The Afghans, yielding to
their greed, and, thinking resistance
over, crowded to seize the glittering
rupees. In moment our men con-
centrated their fire on the crowd strug-
Cling for the plumber. A fire more in
fernal than before was soon reopened by
the attackers, and now, to their other
misfortunes, the magazine of the de-
tenders exploded, and the roof was set
on fire. With numbers reduced by half,
fire within, bullets from without, moth
ing daunted, each man stood to his post !;
but the reduced numbers told-a sudden
rush of the enemy gained the door; that
feeble barrier gave way; yet no sign of
fear was SNOWFALL met their death
! HnbfiVO
