MT. Kenna, of West Virginia, knows what pleases him. He said to some friends who were congratulating him recently: My election to the United States Senate has been a great satisfaction to me, of course, and I, of course, am very grateful to my friends for it. But tell you frankly, gentlemen, that neither it nor any of the steps of rapid pro motion in my political career has given me so much genuine pleasure as the fact that my hound pup took the premium at the dog show the other night

GOVERNOR isUTLER,s LATEST.

GOVERNOR 3UTLER's LATEST.
 The irrepressible Butler has t'stirred lem ap'' again. He wanted to veto bill that had passed the legislature, and happening to be in New York his veto message was written and telegraphed from there. In view of this and other odd performances of their beloved governor the Republicans talk of addressing 8 list ofsquestions to the Supreme court in order to find out if Butler can continue to shock the respectable people of Massaehu- sets with impunity.
 Governor Butler left the State on the twenty-fourth day of February. He sent the veto from New York on the twenty sixth Lieutenant Governor Ames acted as bill which had passed both branches of the Legislature. And it is asked, if Governor Buffers absence on the twenty-seventh was sufficient authority for the lieutenant gover- nor to sign b bill, was not his absence on the twenty sixth good reason why he could not himself constitutionally veto one on that day? If the Supreme court is really called action it will have some fine points to con- sider Some of these have been thus set forth: If the governor should take morn ing train in Boston for Providence and re- turn the same afternoon would his chair be vacant during that portion of the day while he was in Rhode Island And could the lieutenant governor, with the advice of the council, open the prison doors and let all or any portion of the prisoners go free by exec utive pardon Or, if an enacted bill left in the executive chamber that morning be signed by the lieutenant governor, and upon the return of the governor in the afternoon he should return that bill to the house in which it originated with his objections there to- would such veto be wholly imperative, although the governor should have been in the executive chamber in both morning and afternoon of the same day? And does the absence of the governor from the common wealth for an hour or two, on 8 particular day, so make the chair of the governor va cant, that the lieutenant governor can per form every executive act, and would it make any difference upon which side of the State (speeding at the rate of fifty miles an hour) should be, when the lieutenant governor &C., tually affixed his signature, and how is his precise locality at that moment to be de- termined?
 Some of the Republican newspapers of Massachusetts want the case presented to the Supreme court. Others think that as the legislature has no official knowledge that the governor was absent from the State on the 26th ultimo it had better not try to get any such knowledge, but let the whole matter drop Very likely the latter is the course that will be taken after there has been suf- fcient talk.

 The Congregational Pastor has swathed and buried himself in fallacies. His arguments teach nothing if not that to guard surely aeainst the month of the lion the weak must frequent his den, that tippling is the snrest safeguard against drunkenness, that the most certain path to heaven is the one that runs nearest to the uncertain boundaries of hell. He should teach his little boys that to be quite safe from the cat aract they should learn to row by plying with their tiny skif in the rapids just above it. And yet, as he says of the devil, he is 'sno fool ,'but as wise in his generation as ''the children of this world" The de m- onstration is furnished in the two facts that he shows most intimate acquaintance with the wrong side of logic and that he knows too much to sign his name to his communi- cations.

An interesting legal point is perplexing g Massachusetts justice. young man got very drunk in Boston, was arrested, and fined for the offense against social and judi cial decorum. With the same drunk in his possession he went to Brockton, where he was arrested again and hauled up before the civil magistrate. There the young man raised the objection that as he had already paid the law for that particular drunk it was his own personal property and not further to be interfered with The justice is now weighing in the balance of his judicial func- ton the question whether man can twice be punished for one offense even when that offense is progressive, ss in the case of in toxication.

Trial ofWassen.

GALVESTON, May 29.-The News
San Antonio special says all men,
bers detailed are present. The &C
cused was called and the order con-
vening the body read. WATSON said
he had no challenge to make or coun-
sci to introduce. After the formal
swearing he asked the court to adj
iourn until June 9th: Shortly after
his arrest he asked this postponement
that he might introduce testimony as
to his former sterling character and
to tender payment to the government
of the full amount of his deficit by
that date. There new was additional
rason as he had received the charge of
specifications only yesterday. There.
tore to make an Ineligible defense,
the application, he said, was in
nowise dilatory. The Judge Advo-
cate read the law and submitted the
application afterwards. A continu-
ance was granted and an adjourn
ment taken until June 9Th. The
witnesses to be s%ubpoenaed for the
defense number seven-one an Ok
secretary of legation 1T Japan, one a
prominent person at Washington,
and the other five, citizens of Iowa.
WATSON expresses himself as highly
satisfied with the court personnel.

DECORATION DAY.

To-day is the day upon which it
has been the custom of American
citizens to celebrate the courage and
patriotism of the soldiers of the late
war and to decorate the. graves of
those whe have departed from the
Grand Army to join the peaceful
cohorts beyond the skies. To-day,
in nearly every city in the nation,
fair women and brave men are pre-
pairing garlands Of beautiful flowers
as an offering to the noble and the
true who yielded up their lives
upon the battle field under the ma
TONS flag. 1t is fitting that this
should be done if for no other pur-
pose than to pay tribute to manly
virtue and heroic self-sacrifice
which all the world admires.
Montana may not be able
to mingle itsj tribute of praise
and floral beauty to the fallen by con-
certed action upon the part of her
people, for there are wanting the
graves of the heroes in their midst to
incite this display Of patriotism, but
there are but few who will not hold
the day in their memory, and if they
do not exhibit by outward signs their
desire to commemorate it, they, at
least, recognize the spirit of patriot
ism which permits no insult to the
flag and will ever cherish the memory
Of those who fell to preserve its in
tegrity.

MAJOR NICKERSON'S CASE.

The case of Major Nickerson is ex-
citing great interest in Philadelphia
and Baltimore society circles. The
Major is a well-known army officer
and Assistant AdjutantiG General in
the. United States army. The history
of the case is this: Several years ago
he married, in California, a near rel
alive of the historian, Bancroft, of
the Pacific coast. He was recalled
from the West and the couple lived
in Philadelphia and Washington un.
til 1880, when Mrs. Nickerson went
to Germany with the advice and ron
sent of her husband, who promised
to follow her. This he did not do
and finally stopped her allowance of
money. He sued for and obtained a
divorce and within three days after
obtaining it married a Miss Carter,
a Baltimore society lady. A few
days ago his first wise returned from
Germany and Immediately COM
menced suit to have the decree of di-
vorce set aside, declaring that it was
obtained by fraud and perjury. On
account of the high standing of the
parties the case excites much interest
and will doubtless burden press dis
patches for some time to come.
