THE sENATES ACTION.
What Senator Johnston, OF Vir-
ginia, Thinks.

WASHINGTON, September Ex-senator
Johnston, Of Virginia, In conversation
to-day, said that he had yet to hear
OF a Democratic Senator who did not
assert the light and duty OF e!ecting u
member OF their party AZ presiding Off
Ger, and of fully organizing the Senate
by the election OF Secretary before do
ing any other business. He knew OF no
means OF resistance which could be sue
cessful, even if the Republicans should
desire to resist the right OF the majority
to act. To a suggestion made by \ Re.
publican paper, that Republican Senat-
ors could break quorum by declining
to vote, he said the first rule OF
the Senate would prevent just
such action, il contemplated. That
the rule directs that quorum shall
consist OF q majority OF all the members
chosen and sworn. Thirty-seven Sena.
tors would therefore be quorum, a.
three Senators chosen have not been
sworn, and the Democrats haye thirty.
seven without Davis and Malone. The
other officials OF the Senate would Ger.
tainly remain till the regular sesslon.
when it is probable that there wou Id be-
an equitable division. The committees
would be rsorgani,sd so that the equal
parties would have equality on tho
committees. All these acts and changes.
he thought, would bs quietly made, and
those who looked forward to such trial
of strength as marked the late executive
session would be disappointed.

MAKING AN ISSUE.

There was one passengel-a
woman-on q Louisville and
a Nashville Railroad train, the
other day, who evidently believed
that railroads were made for peo-
Pile, and not-the people for the
railroads. By some untoward
snischance shs dropped her arti.
fetal teeth from the car window.
The thought Of going among her
friends at Nashville all toothless
was not to be endured, SO she
summoned the conductor and Or
dered that the train be taken
back to Louisville or the nearest
town where q dentist was to be
found. The conductor demurred
and finally compromised the
matter by stopping the train five
minutes while the woman's hus-
banl went back to hunt up the
teeth. When this time expired
be had net returned, and the
train was started on without him.
Forthwith the wife sought the
condotor, and demanded that it
be stopped, that she might get
off and stay with her husband.
The conductor hesitated. The
wife remarked, ''Stop this train
and pat me of, OR I'll put " bull
let through you" Here was
business and the train was back.
ed to the place where her hus-
band was, and he got on again
but without having found the
missing treasure. Then the wife
insisted that the train bs turned
around and go back to Louis
ville," This the conductor, hav-
ing locked himself in the bag
gage-car to avoid the threatened
bullet, refused to do, and the
train went on with its toothless
but irate passenger: On reach
ing the next station an offer oi
reward for the recovery OF the
teeth was telegraphed back and

A Pleasant 'sGood Morning."

Don't forget to say "Good
morning" Say it to your pa
rents, your school-mates, your
brothers, your teachers--and
say it cheerfully and with a
smile it will do you good and
do your friends good. There's a
kind of inspiration in every
"good morning" heartily spoken
that helps to make home fresher
aad work lighter. 1t seems really
to make the morning good and
to be a prophecy of good day
to come after it. And if this be
true of the "good morning." it is
so also of kind, heartsome greet
iugs. They cheer the discour-
aged, rest the tired one, some
how make the wheels Of life run
more smoothly. Be liberal with
them, then. and let no morning
pass, however dark and gloomy
it may be, that you do not help
at least to brighten by your
smiles and cheerful words.

An Enchanted Cave.

There is a world of wonders
vet to be discovered in the south
western country. New Mexico
and Arizona abound in natural
curiosities, which will furnish
many an interesting newspaper
an illustrated article. In New
Mexico is a great turquoise
mine-one of very few in the
world. This mine has besn
worked for many generations,
long before the advent OF the
white man to this continent.
The Jesuits employed Indians
to gather precious stones from
it two hundred years ago. Near
Hansonburg, New Mexico, a very
wonderful cave has recently been
discovered. On entering ii the
visitor hears sounds, as from an
EoIian harp, which are made
by the strong current of air
passing through objects which
vibrate. A party of miners ex-
plored it recently, and they dis
covered series OF steps which
led them to the bottom OF the
cave. These seem to have been
hewn out of the rock many gen
erations ego. Passing through
an arched opening, a view was
presented which fairly bewil.
dered the explorers. The pur-
est stalactities of crystallized
carbonate of lime hung from the
ceiling. Wreethes of pink-coi'
ored sulphates of lime, quartz
and spar crystal studded the
| sides. It seemed like reaI
| fairy's haunt. The effect was
heightened by the melody which
had struck their ears at the en-
trance of the cave, and whlct
lseemed like the distant murmu
of a symphony from might!
organ. The miners wandered
on, hall after hall exhibiting
succession of splendid scenes;
realization of the marveis of th'
Arabian Nights. Before leavio'
the cave, however, the party hat
a couple of unpleasant adven
lures. A mountain lion spranI
at them, but Was finally kille'
by repeated discharges fror
their revolyers. He measure'
eleven feet from tip to tip.
monster rattlesnake was ais
killed. This measured eigh
feet in length and eight irche
in diameter. New Mexico wi
soon become very we'll known t
travellers, as railroads are pene
,rating it in several directions.

Who Killed Stonewall Jackson.
IReidsville, N. c. Times. ]

[Reidsville, N c. Times.]
DR.. D. w. Busick, OF this
county, who since the war has
been register of deeds,was one OF
the soldiers that started with
the litter that bore Gen. Jackson
off the field that fearful night at
Charlottesville. As an his
torical incident, from SO worthy
a source, DR.. Busick's version OF
the affair is worth giving. He
says that Jackson was not shot
by our own men. He was lying
that night by the road down
the Yankees were sweeping with
canister and minnie. Gen Jack
son crossed the road and was
shot, His aid called out and
Busick was one of the men that
ran to him. He carried the
corner of the litter as they went
through the woods, where the
men were lying SO thick that
he stepped on mans leg, and
the fellow, pulling his leg away
tripped him up, and he fell, an
other soldier sprlnging up and
taking his place at the litter
They evidently thought him
shot. and history SO has it that
one of the men at the litter was
shot down. But not 80. DR.
Busick was not that man. Ii
his opinion that jackson was
not shot by his own men he II
borne out by many other ole
soldiers who were present. Mr.
Robertson, near Pelham, in Gas
we'll county, was lying on tn
road and had his gun barrel ben
by q shot from the same charg
that swept the road just abon
the time that Jackson was killed
; He sprang into the woods.
