the State, her Executive understood the
question, and returned it to the Senate
with his objections. The entire matter
was then referred to the Committee on
Lands. The investigation that followed
opened up the question, and had 1t come
to another vote in the Senate, 1T would
have been overwhelmingly defeated.
The real party whose record was to be
endorsed by this resolution, saw that 1T
could not pass after the veto, and had
another resolution introduced in the
House, hoping, as last resort, to
get an endorsement from that body.
The Governors veto and consequent
discussion had informed the members, and
this House resolution was ordered printed
That sounded it's dealt knell. No one
was found who would even take the re-
sponsibility of calling it up, although APP
peals were made by the real party in in
terest. No, Mr.. Pirrong, your resolution
would have been overwhelmingly de-
u. d
Governors veto. A majority of your
own committee even reported against it,
and we print their report in another col
umn, and call attention to it as a model
of terse, logical and convincing state
ments.
Mr.. Pirrong claims the minority re-
port as his own. 1t is well known that
Senator Call was before the committee
trying to get the resolution passed over
the Governors veto, and that he said it
would help him to have it passed. 1t is
well known that, seeing the joint resolu-
ton W. uld fail after the Governors veto,
a House resolution was introduced, and
he, it is said, urged its being called up
and passed, but without success. 1t is
we'll known that the great bulk of the ir-
relevant evidence placed in the minority
report was directly or indirectly furn-
ished by Senator Call "The voice is
the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the
hands Of Esau."
We are willing to give Mr. Pr
rong whatever credit may be due
for such production. We must, how
ever, confess our inablityto see the sense
in the Legislature calling upon our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress to
have an investigation Of a matter that
had just been investigated by the United
States Senate, without producing one par
ticle of new evidence to base the applica-
ton upon. Senator Call introduced a
resolution requesting the appointment of
a committee to make this investigation,
and the committee made a unanimous re-
port against his position. Senator Call,
with his nonsense, has for four years
stood in the way of the State securing
her lands How long does he propose to
keep them thus tied up? The only pos
sble effect the resolution could have had
would have been to longer delay the adj
lustmen Of our land matters and to en-
dorse the course of Senator Call.

Among the inmates of the National
Soldiers home at Togds, Me-, is Richard
Rowley, who was captain of the guns on
the Kearsarge when she sunk the Ala
bama off the harbor of Cherbourg,
France, and performed an act Of bravery
which probably saved his ship and her
crew. The battle had ragged for over an
hour and a half, when n 100 pound rifle
shell from the Alabama struck the gun
which Rowley was sighting and fell on
the deck, with the fuse still burning. In
an instant Rowley picked it upand threw
it into the sea where it exploded Just as
it touched the water. The sailors beard
and mustache were burned off by the
fuse, but he stepped back to his gun and
sent a shot into the sinking Alabama.
Capt. Winslow at once gave the order
TO man the rigging and give three cheers
fsr Quartermaster Rowley. The latter
was greatly lionized after his return to
this country. Congress voted him a gold
medal; he received other valuable gifts,
and President Lincoln personally thanked
HIM. For several days before his inter-
view with the president, Rowley had nc
cepted frequent invitations to drink
champagne, and probably showed the
effects. AS he arose to go Mr.. Lincoln
gave him n hundred dollars, saying:
Now don't drink too much liquor;
drink just a little. but not too much. !
know you old sailors all like a little grog,
but be careful and not drink too much"

There was a jolly little group about a
table in q down town cafe last night
shaking dice for the lemonade. The
man who threw the lowest number had
to pay for the lemonade and tell a story.
All at the table had been "stuck" but one
gentleman who is noted for his keenness
of repartee. The gentlemen who had
been 'stuck" told nothing but anecdotes
and antique tales. Not a new story had
been recited; and they were all chest
nuts. When the gentleman noted for rep
artee had been ''stuck" there was APP
plause, n call for drinks and a demand
for n new story. II can tell a story"
said the gentleman, as he ordered the
proper thing, "but I'll ask you q conun-
drum. go ahead" he was told.
"Well," he went on, ''what is the differ
ence between a turkey and n man?"
This odd conundrum floored the
crowd. The questioner was appealed 70
for an answer. 1.-The difference between
q turkey and a man." he explained, as
he o to leave, sis that q turkey isn't
stuffed with chestnuts until it's dead"

The English Language.

English men of letters are p~erpetually
scolding and nagging at one another for
speaking and writing bad English, or for
pronouncing 1t enormously, and the fault
finders make, as a rule, as many mis-
as do the writers and speakers
whom they profess to correct. And then
step in, forsooth, the Americans, clad
from top to toe in the shining armor of
self confidence, and they airily tell us
that we know not how to speak or pro-
nounce wi own language, and that to
mend our ways we should take lessons
OF Bostonites or the Dutch-Irish-E Eng
Ish and altogether cosmopolitan people
OF New York. We may needs vince a
little under these structures, for our
withers are not by any means unwrung,
and to the ear of a foreigner who has
made only a literary study of English it
is certain that our pronunciation, or
rather our many and discordant methods
OF pronunciation, must appear very IL
logical and very ludicrous.
1t is not alone clergymen who drawl
the church service and humble their
sermons it is not alone school children
who nre taught to read in m~onotonous
sing-song; it is not alone young ladies
who, through affectation, lisp or mince
their words, but it is the great body of
English people-aye, of educated Eng
lish ~people-who habitually stammer be-
fore they can find the right word, who
rarely pronounce their final c~onsonants,
who slur and shuttle their syllables into
one another, who almost invariably put
the wrong emphasis on the chief men,
bers of a phrase, and who, If they do not
absolutely chew and swallow the ends of
their ~vocables, as the modern Greeks do,
utter them in such a d~isjointed and slip
h fashion as to make them more than
half unintelligible to the foreign ear.
This is why 1t may be quite feasible for
a Frenchman to live seventeen years in
England without being able to under
stand English.-London Telegraph.

In the Pioneer cemetery, in Richfield,
Summit county, o., side by side upon a
modest lot rises four small mounds of
turf which mark the resting place of
four children of John Brown and of his
wife, Mary. The children died in 1s43,
and within four days of each other, of a
disease which was epidemic at the time.
Their names are given on the stone above
the grave-Charles, Austin, Peter, sarah.
Under these names are rudely carved a
few lines which the old abolitionist war
rior himself composed for the purpose:
Through all the dreary night Of death
In peaceful slumbers may you rest,
And when eternal day shall dawn,
And shades and death have passed and gone,
oh, may you then, with glad surprise,
In Gods own image wake and rise.
