A Scene i'm the House.
In the House this afternoon, after the report in
the first edition closed Mr.. Bayne inquired of Mr..
Butterworth whether a single President, before
odChson, uau uiaue u SuSIe removal from once
except for cause
Mr.. Butterworth.-Oh! the question Is as to
what was sufficient cause.
Mr.. Fisher called attention to a remark I'm Mr.
Bayne's speech OF yesterday crticising the ''Pen.
dleton" bill because ft fixed no tenure OF Office, and
contrasted that sentiment, Mr.. Butterworth hav-
Ing made an allusion to some democratic appoint
mentS.
Mr.. Cox, somewhat nettled, replied that such
remark came with bad grace from a gentleman
who had seduced Ephraim Holland, who. accord
ing to the gentleman, was democratic prostitute.
In reply, Mr.. Butterworth made an allusion
which is not OF nature fit for publication, and
which was characterized by Mr.. Cox as the remark
OF BLACKBOARD.
subsequently an effort was made to have the
colloquy omitted from the record, and 1t
was accomplished. The debate was OF such
character as to lead Mr.. Money to suggest that the
chair request the ladies to retire from the gal

A Wealthy Sexton.

With round, full face, beaming with
contontment and benevolence. He
lives near by in $4,000 cottage, has q
bank account of several millions, and
is known to the world as G. w. Childs,
proprietor of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Never, it is said, has his oblig-
ing courtesy to strangers failed, except
on single occasion. A fussy old lady
wanted front seat, and he gave her
one, close to the chancel rail. Then
she wanted a prayer book, and lie
hunted up one for her. "Will you
please hand me that fan?" was her
next request, pointing to one in an
adjoining pew, and the accommodating
usher complied. "Now, won't you
move that footstool for me~ But,

only eflicacious remedy for whocpinp
cough he has ever tried.
1t is well known that cholera infan
rum and ana ogous,ailments cause the
leath of the great majority of children
This disease, il it may be so called
may, in nearly every case, be traced to
food and drink and the manner of Civ
ing them. The majority of infants who
die during the summer months have
been fed by the bottle, the milk in
Tlicb Ie frequently in part or wholly

Pure and good milk is necessity in
almost every family. 1t may come
INTO the house in wholesome condi-
tion, yet there is ever the danger that
it will become tainted with the sewer
gas from closets. or even with the dust
carried by drafts through sleeping or
living rooms. There can be no doubt
that while milk is one of the best and
most palatable of foods in the summer,
it must be carefully guarded from the
farm to the table or it will prove o po
tent vehicle of disease.
