Tho N snners of tho Members.

Patriot.
Mr.. Hulings interrupted to say that
Wolfe WAS wasting the time of the House
in SPEAKING. on motion which could not
be acted upon. Mr.. Wolfe sat down and
. sharp exchange of words took place be-
tween the two. Wolfe denied Hullings'
accusation and tho latter persisted in
it. Wolfe said sharply, "You might have
spoken in = gentiemanly way: ="
ridden by you. "Then keep your
mouth off of me-" Then Hulings arose
and it looked like war. He walked to
Wolfe's desk and the latter repeated what
he had said. Hulings contented him.
self with emphatically informing the
Union county statesman that he did not
fear him, and the war cloud dissolved.
A short time afterward Mr.. Wolfe started
on another speech, when Mr.. Mackin took
occasion to interrupt him in a similar man.
ner. Wolfe said that this sort Of thing
had occurred often enough and called on
the speaker to rebuke the "blackguard." {"
Mr.. Mackin retorted that he was not as
much of q blackguard as the gentleman
who had applied that epithet to him.
Things went on smoothly after this
until Rev. Neill lost his temper over the
opposition of Myers, of Venango, to the
Philadelphia Homeopathic hospital appro-
priation. Neill denounced Myers as die
tator, a man without brains and of much
brass and said things had come to such a
pass that everybody had to bow the knee
to VenaIigo county. As soon as Myers
had an opportunity he took the floor and
made hot reply, saying that if he had
more brass; than Neill, he certainly had
more than any man on the face of Gods
earth. He was not dictator, neither did
he ever arise in the house to cover a man
with flatteIy, and then stab him in the
dark: Myers was applauded. and Neill
said he had no reply to make to anything
fiercsly and shouted, NO, you can't make
any reply. You haven't brains enough"
Mr.. Neill did not take up the gauntlet and
nothing mc,re was said. =
Mr.. Samuel HUM, a member from the
" city of biOtherly love" ascended the
speakers chair and attempted to call the
house to order. His friends, appreciating
the joke, :;ta,rmed him with paper bullets.
Determined to eight it 6ut if it took all
summer" he made second attempt and
the gavel came down with still greater
force This time his friends received re-
Inducements and by perfect storm of
balls compelled him to descend from his
honorable position and accept a more
humble one, on the floor of the House.
