Mexican Women.

A correspondent writes: Mexican 'aaies
are exemplary wives and fond and LOVING
mothers. Their home to them Is 'heif en-
tire world, their husbands the idols OF their
hearts. while their children are the angels
which makes their homes their heaven he''

waved in our dear old hearty AnSlo-oaNoi
word .home." The nearest approach to 1t is
found in ohogar," which may be translated
.,bear r, bstone" or "hearth' simply. Yet, not
withstanding this, the ties of family arc more
binding in Mexican society than in any other
FACE under heaven.

with pleasure" The next day on the floor
Mr.. Slldeil, in accordance with the arrange
ment, arose and asked if the gentleman from
Ohio referred to him when lie said that no
gentleman would object to Mr.. Gidding's ex-
PLANTATION.
"No, certainly not, SIR replied Schenck;
81 did not even know that the gentleman
from Louisiana was in the House,"
Still Slidell questioned him, saying:
"lf the gentleman from Ohio knew that the
member from Louisiana was in the House
would he have made that remark ?"
"fhat," replied Schenck, sis a hypothetic-
al question, and l will not be questioned in
that fashion,
Still the Southern member went OH to in
terrogale him, and at last, entirely out of all
patience, Schenck took the floor, against the
almost violent efforts which his friend, Gov
aud said
'It is evident that what the member from
Louisiana desires to know is to WHOM | re-
ferred when l said yesterday that 10 gentle
man would object to the explanation of my
colleague. Lest there be any further doubt
upon the subject, l will say here and now
that | meant and referred to the drunken
member from Alabama, Felix e.. McCon-
nell"
AS may well b. imagined, this declaration
created the widest excitement in the House.
Mcdonnell, one of the most violeut of the
Democrats and pro-slavery men in Wash
ington, crushed dow the long isle
shaking his fist at Schenck, and Tor a mo-
ment it was believed that a personal encoun-
ter could not be avoided. With great difficult
ty order was at last restored, and the ordina-
~ business of the House for a time resumed.
Just Def ore adjournment, however, uarret
Davis came over where Mr.. Schenck wa
quietl seated, and said:
"Have you a pistol, Schenck ?"
"No," replied the latter, g" never carried
one in my life
"Well, you hal better carry one to-day, ~
said Davis, 'for Mcconnell is swearing he
will shoot you on sight"
"Still have not got a pistol, aud do not
know where to gel one,'' replied Schenck.
"Take mine, take mine," said Davis quiet.

A Cruel Cave.
MACNEAGH.

Last Tuesday as Ira Dixon was at
work grading the railroad bed around
DiXon's Bluff, a land slide took place
completely burying him in a mass Of
earth and rock. Assistance was imme-
diately rendered, and the unfortunate
man was e%Xcavated, but he was dead
when found. Upon his body were nu
merous bruises, his chest having been
broken and also his leg. The body was
brought to town Thursday, and the flu
neral services performed at the court
house, after which the body was follow
ed to the graveyard by a large c%oncourse
of friends.
Ira, or "Shorty,' as he was more fire.
quently called, was all old settler in this
country, and one Of the best r~ustlers
that ever came here. He owned the toll
road through the bluffs, ten miles from
town, which were named after him.
He also had quite a contract with the
Northern Pacific railroad for grading,
and it was while at work at this that he
met his most untimely death.-[Y Yellow

A "Reminiscences.

On one occasion on the floor of The House,
Joshua r. Giddings, of Ohio, was assailed in
the bitterest fashion by a number of the
friends of slavery, and charged with stealing
negroes and sending them away from the
District of Columbia, then, of course, within
the slave dominion. After abuse CT this sort
had been heaped upon him for some days, lie
at last arose to a personal explanation aud de-
manded the floor. At once from the South
| ern members there came the cries of " Don't
hear him! Don't hear him. We object.
We object! A scene of almost Iiotous contu-
sion followed, and in the midst of it SChenck.
broa i-shouldereG, sqllare-headed and power
fui, arose in his seat and commanded silence
by the intensity of his manner and the Vehe-
mence with which he said:
81 have TO personal interest in The matter,
Mr.. Speaker, nor knowledge Of the matters
alleged but when the honorable gentleman,
my colleague, who has been so violently and
gravely assaulted, desires TO make a personal
explanation, he should be permitted to do so.
Under such circumstances, sir, 10 gentleman
would object
Again, however, there came from diffprenl
parts of the chamber cries of " object. |
object - and again Schenck, with renewed
emphasis, said:
81 repeat, Mr.. Speaker, that under the cir
cumstances no gentleman would object"
As a result OF Mr.. SchenCk's courage and
pertinacity Mr.. Giddings was allowed to
make his explanation. When the scene was
over there was much discussion as to who
Schenck referred to when he said that no
gentlemen would object, and Jacob Thomp-
son, Of Mississippi, who was afterwards Sec
retary of the INTERIOR communicated to him
the impression, which was general in the
House, that he meant Slidell, of Louisiana.
THAT is a mistake" replied Mr.. Schenck
81 did not even know that he was in the
House.
'Are you willing to make that explanation
| public ?' asked Thompson.
"Certainly." was the reply Il will do so

To Minister LoUell, London:
There has been no very marked change In
the Presidents condition but it is rot at this
hour reassuring. The different symptoms are
almost all slightly aggravated. His tempera-
ture and pulse have fuctuated more than u.s.

ues unsatisfactory there is therefore a sensible
increase of anxiety.
