He Saw the Editor.

BUTTE, MoN., June 24.-Yesterday
afternoon man named George Miller,
of Anaconda, conceiving himself to be
wronged by the publication in the DAILY
Miner of letters from that place con-
corning his daughter, who eloped and
was married in this city by a minister,
with six-sbooter accompaniment went
into the Miner Office and asked to see
the editor, G. S. Ziegenfuss, in
private. At the head Of the
stairs Miller pulled his pistol, aud,
saying "I'll fix you here" shot at
Ziegenfuss, who threw up his arm at
the critical moment, and the bullet en-
tered the wall over his shoulder. The
two clinched, and Ziegenfuss threw his
would-be murderer down the stairs,
falling on top Of him, and almost crush
ing the life out Of the Anaconda man.
Miller was hustled out of the office and
arrested, but Ziegenfuss will not prose-
cute him.

issued. Agreed to.
A short debate ensued upon the
coast-survey clause Of the bill, and this
was followed by discussion of the
internal-revenue paragraphs.
Mr.. Ermentrout, Of Pennsylvania,
offered an amendment providing that
$4,000 Of the appropriation for the re-
coinage of gold and silver coin shall be
expended in recoining dollar for dollar
into silver dollars or subsidiary coins
trade dollars which may be presented
at the various minis six months after
the passage of this act.
Pending action the committee rose,
and the House, at 5o'clock, took a recess
until s o'clock, the evening session to
be for the consideration Of pension bills.
While the House was considering
pension bills this evening Mr.. Gibson,
of West Virginia, criticised several re-
ports submitted by committees on in
valid pensions, and stated that he would
raise the point Of no quorum upon GER
tain measures.
Thereupon Mr.. Bayne, Of Pennsyl-
vania, rose and attacked the Presid ent
for his recent veto messages on pension
bills. He was astounded at the vetoes.
In the whole history of the republic
they were without parallel. Austere
and rigorous Andrew Jackson, DESTROYS
Of asserting his power and hav-
ing his individuality conspicuous,
had never monopolized the power
as the present President had done with
reference to those pension bills.
This man had even had the temerity
to sheer at the reports Of committee
Of this House. He had the temerity to

reports Of committee granting o
pension to the widow Of some man who

The House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds held meeting
to-day, and agreed to report fayorably
the bill appropriating sl50,OO0 for a
public building at Norfolk.
The Senate to-day had up the Fitz
John Porter bill, and General Logan re-
hearsed from memory the same old
speech he has repeated so often during
the past ten years or more.
hon. George ID. Wise received in
formation from the Navy Department
to-day that the contract for supplying
the Navy with tobacco has been
awarded to Meyers Brothers 4 Co., of
Richmond. Mr.. Wise had heretofore
prevailed on the Department to have
the samples submitted subjected to in
spection by experts. Under this rule
Messrs. Meyer Brothers & Co. OBJ
tanned the contract, their bid being the
lowest for tobacco up to the standard
Of quality required. Several other
Richmond firms submitted samples,
which went above the standard, with .
corresponding increase in the bid SUBJ

Of their successful rival.

ON Naughty Little BOY. Sleeping.
bret IIarte,


Just now | missed from hall and stair
A joyful treble that bad grown
As dear TO me as that grave tone
That tells the world my older care.
And little footsteps on the floor
Were stayed. laid aside my pen,
Forgot my theme. and listened-then
stole softly TO the library door.
No sight! no sound,-a moments freak
or fancy thrilled my pulses through;
"If-no," aud ct fancy drew
A fathers blood nom heart and check.
And then-I found him, There he lay,
surprised by sleep caught in the act.
The rosy yandsl who had sacked
His little town, and thought ii play;
The shattered vase: the broken Jar:
a match Still smOuldering on the iioor;
The inkstand's purple pool OF gore;
The chessmen scattered near and far.
Strewn leaves OF albums lightly pressed
This wicked Baby Of the woods;
In fact OF half the household goods
This son and heir was seized-poSsessed.
Yet all in vain for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet that
strayed;
And fallen in that ambuscade
The victor was himself o'erwrought.
What though torn leaves and tattered book
Still testified his deep disgrace
stopped and kissed the inky face,
With itsdemure and calm outlook.
Then back stole, and half beguiled
ny guilt. in trust that when my sleep
should come there might be One wno'd
keep
An equal mercy for his child.
