Tender and sweet,

The late Henry Grady, who was Geo1.
gia's ablest editor and most eloquent ora.
tor, and whose premature death fills both
Southron and Northman with regret,
never said anything more tender and
sweet than the followIng--an account Of
Que Of his visits to his mother.
II don't think ever felt happier than
when reached the little home Of nv
boyh0sd. got there At night. She had
saved supper for me, and she had remcm-
bered all the things liked. She toasted
me some cheese over the fire Why.
hadn't tasted anything like it since l put
OIL my round jackets. And then she had
some home made candy she knew used
TO like; and. bless her heart l just felt
sixteen again as We sat and talked, and
she told me how she prayed for me and
thought Of me always, and what a bright
ness I had been to her life, and how she
heard me coming home in every boy that
whistlcd along the street. When went
to bed she came and tucked the covers all
sround me, In the dear old way that none
but mothers hands know, and felt 20
happy. and 90 peaceful, and so full Of
tender love and tender memories, that
cried happy, grateful tears until I went
to Sleep"

The old rebel Yell resounded through
the hall Of the national house of repre-
sentatives last week. Heretofore, from
the assembling of the first congress, where
the dominant party has had but nomi.
nal majority. the big minority has been
able to prevent or delay the consideration
Of dlstasteful measures. This was
accomplished by the persistent ordering
of the yeas and nays on subsidiary mo
tions as we'll as main questions, irrelevant
talk at all times, and refusal TO vote
when such refusal would leave the house
without quorum. In the present con :
gress the republicans have in the lower
house but seven or eight majority, and
ouly three more than quorum. In IL
body with so large membership, owing
to sickness or unavoidable absence it is
seldom that quorum Of slightly pres
pondcrant majority can b. secured. Last
week consideration OF a contested election
Case from Virginia was attempted by the
republ'cMne,. when the democrats began
hllibustering and, by refusing to vote,
broke the quorum. But Speaker Reed
was equal to the occasion, and counted
the democrats present but not voting.
This action, though legal in every way,
was against the time hoiored usayes of
the house. aud for three days, as motion
after motion was put and carried by
counting as present in parliamentary
sense those who were actually present in
person, The uproar on the democratic
side bccame terrific. II looks as though
the absurd custom which for years has al,
lowed minority either Of one party or
the other to defeat the will Of the respons.
