identical views contained In the letter Of Mr..
Cushing and making it clear that there was no
ground for the assumption OF forgery. POlnt oy
point Mr. Blaine followed the speech OF the SENATOR
from Wisconsin, meeting and refuting legal argn-
ments with as much readiness as he dealt WIN
questions Of fact and asking direct questions, 10
which Senator Carpenter made no attempt to re-
ply, although Senator Blaine paused to give him the
opportunity.
Senator Blaine then turned his attention to Sem
atOr Bayard and Senator Thurman, each Of whom
was brought to his feet by attempt to explain IN
constituencies which appeared In their records. BY
the almost unanimous concurrence of bis impartial
auditors Senator Blaine proved himself to be much
more than match for all his antagonists.
Senator Carpenter usually the best natured OF
men, had the bad taste to get angry at his punish,
ment; and In brief attempt to reply he declared
that he had learned in his long practice before the
courts mover himself to be insOlent to an antagon-
lst but when insolence was meted out TO him to
give as good as was sent. he recovered his equan-
unity almost Immediately and an amusing col
loquy followed In which MIR. Blaine cOmpli,
mented General Grant for his conslstency and
soundness Of views upon this question, which ne
showed were in entire accord with his own and ans
tagonistic to those of the Senator from Wisconsin
Senator Blaine at the close was warmly congratu-
lated by many Senators and Representatives, DEM
ocrats as well as Republicans.

The delegates are beginning to gather at
Syracuse for the two Conventions. The Tilden
propramme is unchanged. No conflict will be
nroyoKed In the Convention, and there may be
no discord except that which will be caused by
the rival delegations. Senator Jacobs Is to be
temporary chairman. The Tilden men count
ON 275 delegates, and are contending for party
control as much as for the Presidential nomina-
ton. Some of them are even Indifferent to Mr.
Tilden's own success. Mr.. Kelly is not dele
eate to his own Convention, and there is
faint probability of dissensiOn arising in the
ranks Of his followers. The administration OF
ex- Governor Robinson is to be approved in the
platform of the regular Convention.

AN ATTEMPT TO REPEAL THE LAW FoRDmDrNa
PENSIONS TO Ex-REBELs.
[DT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrsUNs.l
WASHINGTON, April 19.-An attempt was made
in the House this afternoon TO take from the caen-
dar, under a suspension of the rules. the bill to
place on the pension rolls all the survivors OF the
Mexican, Seminole. Creek and Black Hawk wars.
The bin also provides that the surviving widows oil
deceased officers soldiers and sailors Of these wars
shall be pensioned.
The sixth section of the bill excepts from it's BEN
efts all persons who are under the political disa-
bilites imposed by the Fourteenth Amendment OF
the Constitution of the United States" This sec
tion was put In the bill to prevent another JEFF
Davis debate"
The fifth section repeals the law which prohibits
the payment Of pensions to persons who have been
dslOyal, and it is this section which arOuses the
strongest opposition. An entering wedge for the
overthrow Of this law was introduced in an act
passed two years ago. which provided that survivors
Of the War Of 1872 should be pensioned even II
they had engaged In the Rebellion. This act Is now
to be used as weapon to wipe out the prohibition
altogether.
The bill did not pass to-day, it's friends lacking
the necessary majority OF two-thrds.

IpY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-In the House to-day Mr..
Carlisle, of Kentucky. made strong effort to rally
the State Rights Democrats in opposition to the bill
which passed the Senate several weeks ago provid-
ing for an international exhibition in New-York in
1888.
Mr. Cox reported the bill from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, and moved that the rules be sus'
pended and the bill passed.
Mr.. Carlisle made q strong speech from his point
Of view, arguing against the power Of the General
Government to charter q corporation within the
limits Of any State.
Mr.. Hiscock asked Mr.. Carlisle II the National
banks were not consttutionally Incorporated.
Bir. Carlisle denied that this was q parallel case,
and cited some decisions Of the Supreme Court in
support of his position.
Mr. Cox aud General Hawley made remarks In
reply to Mr.. Carlisle Then the bill was passed by
vote of 144 to 90. The negative votes were nearly
all cast by Southern Democrats.

Dr.. Watts collection the hymn 80 in the
second book concludes-"And see salvation

And see sal-see ssl--see salvation nigh.
The hymn 104, first book, same collection,

Wewoud deile our hearts more,
No more pullute our hands.
The last line being sung to "Miles' Lane,
became
No more poll-more poll-more pollute hands.
The one hundred and twenty sixth hymn,
second book of DIR. Watts, has
Glds the whole scene with brighter rays,
And more exats our joys.
"Miles' Lane" translated the final line

There is another tune called "Boyce," of

road station, and the only other thing beside
the railroad which characterizes the spot is
the immense Union cemetery of some 20
acres, over which floats the star-spangled ban
ner. The cemetery is constructed on the
spot where the prisoners were buried, and
the trenches were dug with such precision
and regularity that the soldiers were not
generally disturbed, but allowed to remain
as their comrades inferred them, working
under the watchful eyes and the fixed bayo-
nets of the Georgia Home-guard. The ceme-
terry is surrounded by stout brick wall,
with an iron gate. and is under the supervi-
sion of a superintendent, who lives on the
grounds. 1t is plain spot. There is not
much attempt made to ornament this city of

flowers possess to dispel the melancholy
memories that haunt this hill in the pine

What Girls Think.

An English writer has made study of the
mental operations of the minds of unmarried
women and has reached these conclusions: Eat
1.-THE girl thinks often oflove; delights in love
songs; fills Moore's poems with peDcil-marks;
thinks Byron's face beautiful; eats little in
company. AT lS, still thinks great deal Of
love; would care nothing for poverty, pro-
viding she had a sweetheart who adored her;
indeed, would rather be poor than rich, we're
she united to the ideal whom she had not
yet met Still reads great deal of poetry
and novels which deal largely with love and
the death of the heroines; passionately fond
of children. AT 10, a little more critical; finds
some of the poetry that pleased her last year

ors than her old favorites; dances every dance

the men who are introduced to her. At 20,
is not sure whether, after all, it would not be
best to be an old mans darling. Never
theless, she firts more uniformly; all her shy
ness is gone; and she enjoys her food whether
people are looking at her or not. AT 81, her
belief in old men is strong; she has lost
her prejudices in favor of poverty and cot
tages, yet she would not insist upon money

Children's Playthings.

Playthings that children make for them
selves are a great deal better than those
which are bought for them. They employ
them much longer time, they exercise their
ingenuity, and they really please them more.
A little girl likes better to fashion her dolls
cups and saucers of acorns, than to have
set of earthen ones supplied. A boy takes
ten times more pleasure in little wooden
cart he has pegged together, than he would
in a painted and gilded carriage bought at
the toy shop. There is a peculiar satisfaction
in inventing things for ones self. No matter
though the construction be clumsy and awk-
ward. it employs time (which is great OBJ
ject in childhood), and the pleasure the In
vention gives is the first impulse to ingenuity
and skill For this reason the making OF
little boats and mechanical toys should not
be discouraged and when any difficulty oc
ours above the powers of q child, assistance
should be cheerfully given. II the parent
are able to explain the principles on which
machines are constructed, the advantage
will be tenfold.
