SCENE IN CONGRESS TWENTT-
FOUR YEARS AGO.
In response to inquiries ELECTED by
recent references to ante-bellum scrim-
images on the floor Of Congress, we print
short account, as published In the pa
pers at the time, Of one which occurred
in February, 1857, in the discussion in
the House ON the attempt to admit Kan
sas as slave state, under the Lecomp-
ton constitution, between Galusha A.
Grow, of Pennsylvania, and Lawrence
NJ. Keitt, Of South Carolina.
The conversation which led to this
melee and awakened the sleeping mem.
bers was in this wise: Grow was ON the
side of the House occupied by Southern
members, and objected to Quitman max.
ing any remarks. Keitt said eff you
are going to object, return to your own
side Of the House," Grow replied:
"This is free hall; every man has a
right to be where he pleases." Keitt
then came nearer to Grow, and said: 81
want to know what you mean by such
| an answer as that?" Grow replied, re.
peating what lie had said before. Keitt
seized Grow by the throat, saying; 81
will let you know that you are -
black Republicanpuppy.' Growknocke'l
up his hand, exclaiming; ~ shall occu-
by such place in the House Us please,
and no negro-driver shall crack his WHIP
over me-" Keitt again grasped Grow
by the throat and again his hand was
knocked off and Grow knocked him
squarely down. The respective friend,
Of the party rushed to the fray. Blow,
fell thick and fast. Washbnrne, of Hi
uois, and Potter, Of Wisconsin, lowered
among the combatants. At this critica
juncture, Covode, OF Pennsylvania,
seized spittoon. He balanced il for .
moment in the air. The objective poin'
was the head Of Barksdale, Of Mississip
| pi, who was approaching him Of the spit
toon in menacing attitude. But Barks
dale's wig fell of and Covode lowere,
his suspended missile. Meanwhile, III,
3ergeant-at-arms was running here ans
there just "like the peewit." exhibiting
his mace-without effect. 1t was nea
3 o'clock in the morning when thes,

ECONOMY IN LIFE INsURANcE-TAKE THE
TROUBLE TO INQuIRE.

Rev. Henry Reck, of the Swedish Au
gustana College, was weH known to many
of our readers. His life was insured FOR
$3, 600 in the Equitable Life Assurance
Society of New York" See Mrs. Reck'a
acknowledgement
When death comes, we are glad OF insur-
ance; if death seems coming, we would
gladly insure. If we are to live. we are
not so anxious to pay for iusuring Others.
An insurance, paid surely, If zee de, is
good. The same insurance, soith tbs money
returned, If see lioe aoould seem better, but
an insurance paid slowly if we die,-the
money returned if we live, and an accumu-
lation. or interest added, would seem
best for a poor man or rich one. The
result of ''Tontine" policies in the "Equit-
able" afford just such facts.

LITTLE HATcHETs.
PECULIAR.

This morning VIM, Lyon, the cont ractol
who has figured in the brick contract fol-
the sewer, visited the Office OF the City
Clerk and refunded $3.50 It will be re
membered that in the investigation OF
Street Commissioner Warren for alleged
irregularities, Lyon testified that Warren
paid him that amount during the present
month for brick furnished Roach, at War
ren's request, last summer. Lyon in re-
funding the money stated to the clerk that
the city still owed HIM $11.S2.
The clerk as well as the other officials
cognizant of the transaction. were some
what surprised this morning at the turn
which affairs had taken. They claim that
if Warren bought the brick for himself or
other parties, he should pay for it. The
city was not liable for brick furnished
Mr.. Roach. The testimony taken before
the investigating committee tended to show
that Lyon furnished brick to Roach, and
also that Warren ordered it and paid for
it. 1t is therefore topic of conversation
why the money should not be refunded to
Warren in place of the City Clerk.
1t is highly probable that Lyon will be
aecalled before the investigating committee
and given an opportunity to explain the
mysterious transaction that has taken
place concerning the brick sold to Roach,
especially the last act in which refunding
has occurred.

OBITUARY.

The death of the daughter of Z. NJ. Blu
ford was a particularly sad one. She was
bright, intelligent child. and gave assur
ed promise of growing into noble woman
Loved by her parents to an extent thai
made the parting with her an almost un
bearable affection, she has been taken
away at time when life was one happy
holiday, and there is nothing left but the
memory of the sweet child that was.
The death of anyone we love is hard to
bear, but when life hes had its full fruition
and the work is done, there is something
of justice in death; but this taking away
of child, when it is hesitating on life's
doorstep, is blow that strikes the fond
parent as none other can.
