rods So per ton. The rate fixed by the com.
mittee's bill was per pound, but was equal
TO $3.50 on bars. S22.40 on flats, and SGT
844 on reds. When the ayes
and noes were called, the strength
of the proposition was for the first
time developed, and the solid demo-
crat vote was reinforced by that OF Sherman
and Van Wyck on the republican side,
which carried it, 30 to 81 The debate con-
tinued through the day.

towing nominations: Lieut.. Col. James q.

JUDGE DAyIS'S QUIT CLAIM
DEED.

Las, winter Miss Burr and Miss Green,
the daughter of congressman Green Of
North Carolina-at whose residence the
wedding of Miss Burr and David Davis
took place Wednesday. visited Washing
ton as the guests of Mrs. Hoge, the wife
of the representative from West Virgin
ia. Both these ladies were anxious to
visit the White House and see the Pres
ident but the judge did no. wish to es-
cort Miss Burr. He was perfectly will
ing to show Miss Green the sights, and
he addressed a note to the President say
ing that he wished to call with lady at
the executive mansion. The President
appointed time and the visit was paid.
Miss Green is a young and very hand
some person, and the President immedi-
ately jumped to the conclusion that she
was Judge Davis intended bride. He
showed her every attention, escorted the
couple thr ough the house and the con-
servatory, plucked bunch Of flowers for
the lady, and talked until the judge be-
came impatient to leave. When the
couple returned to the hotel the old gen.
tleman observed 10 Miss Burr that Miss
Green had captivated the President.
A few days later the justices Of the
Supreme Court dined with the President
Judge Davis was guest. When the
cigars were lighted the President, with
mock formality, rendered his congratula-
irons to the president Of the Senate.
The judge protested that there was no
reason why he should be congratulated.
The President, persisted in his congratu-
lations and the justice demanded to know
the mystery. The President told Of the
visit of Judge Davis and Miss Green.
The veteran jurist poOh-hooed the idea of
marrying the lady, and he squirmed un-
der the pleasant congratulations thai
were profered on every side.
"YOu may deny as much as you please,
judge, but YOU would not dare to sign
quit claim in my favor" banteringly re-
marked the President. The judge drew
a piece Of paper and pencil from his
pocket, and in careful legal form drew
up and signed REIMBURSEMENT of all his
right, title and interest in Miss Green,
provided the President proposed marriage
to her within the term Of one year. This
he signed and delivered to the President
in the presence of the court. General
Ar thur has been remarkably reticent re-
garding the affair since the engagement
Of Judge Davis to Miss Burr was an

The Adjutant. General Of Illinoi;
recently received curious memento Of
Linton, which has been placed in the
Military Museum of the Capitol at
Springfield. It is only little pine
board. six by eight inches square, with
holes in it, and in the centre black
spot about the size Of a silver quarter.
It was used as target by Mr.. Lincoln
while an inmate Of the White House.
A pencil memorandum on the board ex-
plains that the seven holes were made
by seven consecutive shots fired from a
Spencer rife at distance Of forty yards,
by Mr.. Lincoln, at Washington, August
IS, 1868. One shot was "centre" and
all the res. but one were planted close
around the bulls eye. The markham.
ship is pronounced excellent.
