Why He Revised His Speech.

MR.. VAN WICK IS CALLED TO ACCOUNT IN THE
SENATE, AND SAYS HE MEANT WHAT HE
SAID.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Hawley revived the
debate of yesterday by calling Senator Van
Wyck to account for having, in the revision of
his remarks, omitted much of the severe lam
guage he had used. Mr.. Van Wyck said that
his arraignment of the South American COM
mission had wounded Senator Vest, who has a
mission; that Mr.. Vest thought his friend had
been severely criticised, and he Wan
Myckl volunteered to strike from his his
offensive. AS nobody except Mr.. Vest
had seemed aggrieved, he Wan Wyck)
concluded that he might, out of consideration
planned of. Mr.. Vest remarked that very few
read the Congressional Record, and as the Sc.
we're language used had gone to all quarters OF
the country in the daily press, he regarded it as
but poor reparattOn to make the speech milder
in the Record. He thought the reparation or
Dawes regretted the use of strong language,
and held that to retract was poor reparation.
Mr.. Van Wyck said that there was a mistake
as to his position. He did not intend to apollo
gfze. He felt strongly at what he considered
the waste of public money in permitting this
commission to eSpend $4,000 in three months
strongly; but he would not apologize, and ii
there was dissatisfaction at his revision of his
remarks, he could ask unanimous consent to
printed in the Record just as he had delivered
Mr.. Salisbury objected to the request for con.
sent to republsh the speech as delivered, say.
ing he could see no good to come from it.
Mr.. Hawley, in an imprisoned manner, de-
claimed against defamation and said he
wanted Mr.. Van Wyck to either stand by his
charges, If true, If they were not true to have
him acknowledge their error. If Mr.. Van
Wyck was sure Of his ground, sure that he was
right, he tHawley) honored him for the stand
he had taken, but if he had found he was
wrong he (Hawley) wanted him to confess that
he was wrong.
Mr. Van Wyck reiterated his declaration that
he stood by his original speech, and offered a
resolution directing the official reporter to cor
rect the Record Of to-day by printing the de-
bate of yesterday just as it occurred.
Mr.. Teller said he was willing to have the re-
marks Of Mr. Van Wyck which applied to him
lTeiler) published just as they were delivered.
He said Mr.. Van Wyck had denounced a trans
action of the Interior department under his
Tellers) administration as robbery of the pub
lie lands. Mr.. Teller denounced that as untrue
and proceeded to defend his act in issuing the
Backbone land patents.
Mr.. Van Wyck's resolution to correct the
Record and reprint his speech as delivered was
adopted; and, on motion of Mr.. Miller, of Cali
fornia, the Senate went into executive session,
and resumed consideration of the supplemental
Mexican treaty relating to the We'll and La Abra
claims.

Living High on a Paper of Needles.
'lFrom the Bivouac.1


After the battle of Chickamauga, one
of sour mess" found aneedle-case which
had belonged to some poor fellow, prob
ably among the killed. He did not
place much value upon the contents, al
though there was a paper of number
eight needles, several buttons, and a
skein or two of thread, cut at each end
and neatly braided, so that each thread
could be smoothly drawn out. He put
the whole thing in his breast pocket,
and thought no more about it. But one
day, while out foraging for himself and
his mess, he found himself near house
where money could have procured fine
meal of fried chicken, corn pone and
buttermilk, besides a small supply to
carry back to camp. But Confederate
soldiers purses were generally as empty
as their stomachs, and, in this instance,
the lady of the house did not offer to
give away her nice dinner. While the
poor fellow was inhaling the enticing
odor and feeling desperately hungry, q
girl rode up to the gate on horseback,
and bawled out to another girl inside
the house:
20, Cindy, I rid over to see if you
couldn't lend me needle. | broke the
last one had to-day, and pap says thar
amt nary mother to be bought in the
country hereabouts.
Cindy declared she was in the same
fix, and couldn't finish her new home
spun dress for the same reason.
The soldier just then bad an idea
He retired to little distance, pulled
out his case, and stuck two needles in
the front of his jacket, then went back
and offered one of them, with his best
bow. to the girl on the horse. Right
away the lady of the house offered to
trade for the one remaining, and the
result was a plentiful dinner for HIM
self, and, in consideration of thread or
two of silk, full haversack and canteen.
After this our mess was well supplied,
and our forager began to look sleek and
fat. The secret of his success did not
leak out till long afterward, when he
astonished the boys by declaring that
he chad been living like a fighting cock
on paper of needles and two skeins of
silk"

The Origin of Wigs.
fFrom the Pail Mall Gazette.l

fFrom the Pail Mall Gazette.l
The patron saint of all wig makers is
St. Louis of France, who, says a recent
German writer, through the ingenuity
of his mother, Queen Blanca, of CASTLE,
wore the first wig that ever graced the
head of mortal man or woman. The
story goes that when King Louis re-
turned from crusade to the holy land
his mother was shocked at seeing that
the hardships of the journey, together
with the hot climate of Palestine, had
robbed her son of all his hair But be-
sides being a devoted mother, Queen
Blanca was an ingenious woman, who
soon found the way out of her difficulty.
Each knight at court the color of whose
hair had even the slightest resemblance
to her sons was bereft of one lock,
which, deity joined, became an orna-
mental covering for her sons bald head.
The honor of being made the patron
saint of wig-makers ought, therefore,
by rights have been conferred on the
mother instead of her son; but there is
some consolation in the fact that after
lapse of six centuries Queen Biancas
ghost arises pointing out that, in spite
OF all sayings to the contrary, not only
in the nineteenth century women may
be inventors, but that even at the dawn
OF the middle ages a woman founded an
industry by which thousands at present
earn their daily bread.

The Amenities of War.
lFrom the Atlanta Constitution, !


Gems. Pierce Young and Custer were
messmates and classmates and devoted
friends at West Point. In the war they
were heterogeneous of cavalry on oppos-
ing sides. One day Gen. Young was
invited to breakfast at the Hunter man
sior in Virginia. The beautiful young
ladies had prepared smoking break
fast, to which the general was address
ing himself with ardor, when a shell
burst through. the house. CHANGING
through window, he saw Custer charg-
ing toward the house at the head of his
staff. Out the window Young went,
calling to the young ladies': @Tell Gus
ter leave this breakfast for him." Gus
ter enjoyed it heartily, and looked for
ward with pleasure to the dinner in the
distance. In the meantime Young,
smarting over the loss of his breakfast
and his hasty retreat, drove the federal
line back, and by dinner time was in
sight of the Hunter mansion again.
Custer, who was just sitting down to
dinner, laughed and said: "That's
Pierce Young coming back. I knew he
wouldn't leave me here in peace.
Here's my picture, give it to him, and
tell him his old classmate leaves his love
with this excellent dinner" And out
of the window he went and away like q
flash, while the Georgia general walked
In and sat down to dinner.

BY WILLIAM BEACH HAzELToN.

In a sheltered nook of the garden,
Nesting behind the wall,
Said rose, in her budding girlhood-
Said to her sisters tall:
"Oh, pray ye my sisters stately,
Can ye tell me, my sisters fair,
Can We tell me, a little rosebud,
Where my Love lingers-whereT
And she hung her head, while the bushes
Stole DER her sweet, young face,
AS If Love had heard and responded:
Come, dear, to my embrace 70
And the rising and falling bodice
Scarce could contain the sigh:
''Oh, why doth my tardy Love tarry,
Why doth he linger-why
Then the stately sisters softly
Answered the budding rose:
Love, they say, is a sad young rogue, dear
Wait till thy blossom blows!
Love alas is a gay deceiver;
Slyly he draweth nigh
And delicious his touch, but sister,
Pray that he pass thee by"
All too late For, with hasty footsteps,
(Was it pearl or tear
That fell gliStening upon her bosom y
Love, the young rogue, drew near
Yes, Love, with his ruthless fingers
Love plucked the rosebud there;
''It shall tWine," said this reckless rover
Irvine in my lady's hair"
at shall twine" Well, there lies the rosebud
Pressed meath the tear stained page,
Love long fed and the cnt of roses
Only preserved to age
Yet the sight of that faded blossom,
Just for a moment gave
The sense of a love immortal rs,
Love, dear, beyond the grave

Ing is 721, and estimating the number Of
similar entries at Mitchell and Fargo, from

cate an increase In population OF 2,736.
