The action Of the President yesterday
Withdrawing from the Senate the name
ii Gen. Lawton, nominated for the Rus
san mission, was surprise. The Presi-
dent. however, could hardly have done
otherwise. A question had arisen which
probably would have prevented the con-
firmation Of Gen. Lawton's noml-
nation. The question related to his
eligibility. The fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution requires
that those who have incurred political
disabilities must have them removed by a
two-thtrds vote of Congress before they
can hold any civil or military Office under
the government Gen. LawtOn had re-
ceived a full pardon from President John
son before this amendment became part
Of the constitution, and, hence, he con-
cluded that there was no occasion for him
to seek relief from Congress.
While doubtless many EN- nent lawyers
agree with him, it is evident that a
majority Of me Senate holds the contrary
opinion. If it did not the nomination
would have been confirmed and the ques-
ton put at rest forever.
Itcannot be said, of course, now whether
or not the objection that has been raised
TO Gen. Lawton will defeat him altogether
for the Russian mission The Senate has
adjourned, aud if the administration holds
that the pardon was sufficient to 70.
move Gen. Lawtons disability, the
President may appoint him,
and the whole matter can be brought be-
fore the Senate in December. II it shall
be decided finally that an act Of Congress
is necessary to render Gen. Lawton eliei-
bic the act can be passed We quickly. |
Gen. Lawton can then be renominated. |
If the administration is in doubt, The (
President may hold the Russian mission
open until Gen. Lawton can get reliey-
ineact through Congress.

The Career of Carpet-Hagger.

The Career of a Carpet-Bagger.
Very little is heard nowadays of the
men who controlled the Southern States
during the carpet-bag era. They have
about all disappeared from public life.
Senator Bowen, of Colorado, is about the
only one who is in Office. Gov. Kellogg,
who held Federal and State offices in
Louisiana for twenty years, closed his
public career with the last Congress.
Every once in while, however, some
one of the carpet-bag adventures, who
has been oyertaken by misfortune, comes
to the surface. Tuesday yagrant was
/ brought before the Police Court Of York
vile, suburb of New York. His name
was Hiram II. Kimpton. His face Wore
vacant look and his STOPPING figure was
clad in ragged clothes.
This man is well known in South Caro-
lima. He was her financial agent when
Chamberlain was at the helm Of State.
At one time he was reported to be worth
100000. He had a magnificent office on
Wall street, and employed dozen clerks.
He became Interested in South Carolina
bonds, and went to that State to look after
his investments. He became interested
in politics there, and was supporter
OF Moses and Chamberlain. A fraudulent
transaction in the bonds Of the State
ruined his reputation, and he quickly lost
his accumulations.
He is yet handsome man, and is only
As years old. He is a graduate OF Yale
College, and when young man "A bril-.
liantfuture was predicted for him. lie is
now a beggar and a luuatc. He has
fallen so low that he gladly accepts the
few pennies collected by passing around
his hat. This is a brief history of one
carpet-bagger. There are others doubt
less who have eurinms histnrles.

A Chinese Miners Luck.

Years ago John Manuel left home and
family in England and came to Iowa
ELL to seek his fortune. Every year
he added to his pile, and when hi.
oldest boy was grown he came to share
his labors. One snowy day mighty
cave from the North Star banks crush
ed out the lads life, and the father
followed him to the grave.
The next son came from England,
and they both worked in this same
mine till the father yielded up his
life under another avalanche of earth
aud stone. 1t was known that he had
money buried somewhere, but, though
they dug and searched, no one could
find clue to its hiding place. In a
couple of months the second son was
sacrificed in the same manner and on
almost the same spot where his father
and brother had been killed, and
mother and family in England were
bcreaved indeed.
The search for the money was given
up in despair, and the i'll fated men
and their story were all but forgotten,
when this week a couple of China
men. who speak good English, told
that last summer a. Chinaman, work
ing on the night shift in the old Jami-
son diggings, saw large box come
down with cave. On examination
he found that it contained $1,000 and
a sparkling ring. This was doubtless
Manueps money, for he was known to
have taken diamond ring for debt
of $3.50. 1t had been hidden under
the old Ladd house, owned by the
late Mr.. Carder, in which house Man
uel lived at the time of the accident.
The crafty heather told but one per-
son, fellow heather. swearing him to
secrecy till he should have departed
in safety. The finder is now in the
Flowery Kingdom, where he has
probably become nabob or manda-
rim by this time Placer Times.

An Extinct OYSTER.

Of all the brands the ''Saddle Ro6k'
is perhaps the most impudently fraud
ulent. There is not dealer who does
not know that the oyster to which that
name properly belonged disappeared
long ago. There is hardly one who
will not admit as much If you attack
him sharply on the subject. The orig
inal yield was greatly overrate6s
though for large-sized variety it was~
very fair. Now all the dealers, al
though they know very well that no
oyster of this kind is in existence. and

A Prophetic Speech.

The following is from a CastrovMe.
Texas, exchange: In the last cam
paign there were three or four candj-
dates for District Attorney. Ed Hal
ton was one of them and w. r. Wal
lace was another. Wallace, who was
then holding the office, was brilliant
fellow, and would have made a bip
mark but for whisky. He couldn't
let the guzzle alone, and was in bad
shape on account of it. Halton, on
the other hand, was sober, industri-
Gus young fellow. One night he. was
in Castroville making a speech, ana
telling of the kind of man who should
fill! the responsible position of District
Attorney, said he should be sober at
all tines, reliable, and of good associa-
tions. This, of course, was a hit at
Wallace, who happened to be present.
After Halton had got through we were
surprised to see Wallace get ZIP.

Paganini's PLAYING.

How did Paganini playp Now like al
angel, now ike a demon with his tai
in closed door. He played like the yer,
devil himself-never like morta
man. Such sounds assuredly hav,
never yet been drawn from violin
The only thing that sounded like then
was pulling a cat by the hind leg from
under an ash barrel. In fact, they
were no real violin sounds; they
sounded like the roaring of the storm
like the surging of the sea, like {
chronic snorer with his nose congest.
ed, like brakeman on the Elevated
Railroad with cold in his head, like
the ringing of the trombone, like the
thunder of a fat man with deep
voice whose suspender button flew off,
like the chimes of dinner bell, or the
sound of bird, like the anguish and
despair of man, like moaning, and
singing, and whining and weeping.
And when the G string walled, then
tears come through the eyes from the
listening hearts of men, tears of sad
ness and delight, real salt and water
tears as big as Texas pecan nuts
none of your artificial tears gotten up
to deceive the public.
His performance had the effect of
flashes OF lightning in a dark night
He was as full of electricity as black
cat that is rubbed the wrong way of

was, and from his gloomy eyes there
flashed deeply-seated, raging fire.

His technique was the purest chro-

all about them. His broken accords
across all the four strings, from the
lowest depths up to the giddiest
heights, could not be distinguished I

WHEN THE BOATS COME HOME.

There's light upon the sea to-day,
And gladness on the strand;
All well ye know that hearts are gay
When sails draw nigh the land
We followed them with thoughts and tears,
Far. far across the foam,
Dear Lord, 1t seems a thousand years
Until the boats come homel
We tend the children, live our life,
And toll, and mend the nets
But is there ever maid or wife
Whose ia thfui heart forgets?
We know what cruel dangers lie
Beneath that shining foam,
And watch the changes In the sky
Until the boats come home.
There's glory on the sea to day,
The sunset gold is bright;
Methought heard grandsire say,
"At eve 1t shall be light'
Der waves of crystal touched with fire,
And flakes of pearly foam,
We gaze, and see our hearts desire;
The boats are coming home.
