A bantam Rears a Peacock.

We have heard of many peculiar traits
and oddities of the little bantam hen. but
never before this an instance where a wee
bantam fostered a peacock. 1t is charac-
terlstic of bantams to be proud and self
reliant. They certainly appear as though
they "thought' themselves equal to al
most any effort, particularly the gamy,
fussy and strutting little rooster. The
story we bring to our readers notice is
this: A resident of Laurel Hill Avenue
Norwich, has peacock with bantam
hen for his foster mother. A peahen be-
longing to Ledyard farmer laid three
eggs last spring and then died. The eggs
were placed beneath a bantam hen to be
hatched, and when the chicks appeared
the hen was disgusted with her brood
and attempted to Kill them. She sue
ceeded in killing one, and a second one
died. The third was given over to the
care OF this bantam hen, and she soon
manifested warm interest in the pea
cock, and the peacock became attached to
his foster mother. Although the peacock
is three times the size of the bantam hen
he does not like to be left alone, and when
his little mother gets out of his sight it is
amusing to hear him set up his ear-pierc-
ing yawp for her to return to him. The
little hen is very faithful to him, and de-
votes her whole time to the prettily-plu-
mayed giant, who acts very much like a
booby.-Hartford Times.

How the Caledonians Celebrated His
Birthday.

How the Caiedonians Celebrated His
Birthday.
The Caledonian Association celebrated
the one hundred and thirty fourth ami
versary of Robert Burns last night by
music, dancing and an elaborate banquet
at Pioneer Hall.
A duet on the piano was rendered by
the Misses Scott in an excellent manner.
Mrs. George B. Katzenstein sang Scotch
song, and others present contributed to
the pleasure of those present.
Excellent music was provided for the
dancing, and the floor was we'll filled
with dancers until late hour. A num-
Der present wore Highland costumes,
which added a charm to the occasion.
About IL o'clock the company repaired
to the lower hall, where covers were laid
for about 100 guests, and sociability for
which the association is noted prevailed.
Among the good things served up was
a genuine haggis, which met with no
misfortune, although the colored steward
in charge eyed it suspiciously and re-
quired numerous instructions during the
course Of its preparation.
At the table many quotations were Civ
en- from Burns poems and songs, toasts
propounded and responded to, and the
warm greetings of "anld lang syne" re-
newed.
The wants of the guests were all anti
cipated and provided for, and good things
to eat and drink prevailed in great abund-
ance.
Taken altogether the affair was very
enjoyable way of doing honor to the
memory of the Ayrshire Bard, Scotland s
illustrious, immortal Robert.

A RAFTING MILL
Heavy Weight Turner Meets His Match
in "Soldier'' Walker.


in Soldiers Walker.
Some 500 persons witnessed the glove
fight at Armory Hall last night between
Charley Turner, the local coiored heavy
weight, and "Soldier'' Walker of San
Francisco. The contest was under tile
management of James Browne of the
Theater Comique, and was an orderly
atfair-except inside the ropes. A man
named Miller, from San Francisco, was
referee, but had little to do, as there was
no fouling.
The men entered the ring little before
II O'Clock. Walker was much the taller
of the two and looked like bean-pole
beside the sturdy, -proportloned
colored man, who was a picture Tor
sculptor.
There were few knock-downs up to the
last round, and for twenty-five rounds
not a drop OF blood was visible, although
blows were given and taken i'll profusion.
In the second round Walker was knocked
down by heavy blow from Turner's
right, but was soon up as ii nothing had
happened.
About the seventeenth round Walker
was groggy and weak, but managed to
eVade Turner's rushes, although the lat
ter was strong ana spry on his feet. At
| the close of the twenty it looked as
Ii Walker must soon give up.
The twenty second round was the de-
cisive one, but it ended unexpectedly.
| Walker, who had given many signs Of
falling, rallied and got in a blow on
turner's neck that staggered him. Soon
after second on the forehead dazed the
colored Hercules. A third on the body
and two in the face, one an upper-cut,
! hoored him. and he did not rise. Cries
of "FakeW ran through the hall, but
when Turner was lifted he was found to
be bleeding badly, his lips were cut, his
teeth caved in, lie had a huge knot on his
forehead, and bleeding like butchered
cali.
| 1t was ten minutes before he was able
to stagger of between two supporters.
DOBBs AND THE PEARL.
Next Monday night Bobby" Dobbs
and the ''BIack Pearl" both colored, will
| have a match at Armory Hall. Both are
well-known glove-hghters. and a rafting
mill is expected.

CATHEDRALs AND ABBEYs.
Interesting Lecture Last Evening by
Rev. A. c. Herrick.

Rev. A. c. Herrick.
Rev. A. G. Herrick was greeted by a
well-filled house last night, assembled to
listen to his lecture. The lecturer treated
of architecture in England and Scotland,
and illustrated his lecture by some very
fine stereopticon views of various edifces.
He paid tribute to the work done by the
early monks Of the Cistercian order and
others in promoting architecture, as we'll
as in the preservation of the literature of
Greece and Rome, their labors in Britain
and the monuments they had left to at
test to their labors.
He gave o description of ST. PauPs
Cathedral, its architecture, its history and
that OF Sir Christopher Wren, the monu-
ments it contains and the date of its erec-
ton, illustrating by views Of the Parthe-
non and other Greek temples how we
are indebted to Greece for much OF our
fine architecture; compared it with St.
Peters at Rome and the Cathedral at
Milan with its 800 spires.
Passing to Westminster Abbey, he por-
trayed its origin, monuments, the crown
ing of the sovereigns of England within
its walls, and recited the history of the
stone of Scone.
lie then took his hearers successively
to Exeter Cathedral, st. Georges Chapel,
W 1uu5OT NaSIIo, hOcueSi6f ana i Ork "a
thedrals and Hnturn Abbey.
Crossing the border into Scotland, he
gave a most interesting sketch of Sir
Walter Scott, his home at Abbottsford,
the history Of Holyrood and the legend
of King David's deliverance, which
prompted the building Of it, spoke Of its
association with Mary Queen of Scots
and others, and then passed on by easy
transition to the Tosachs and Loeb
Lomond.
1t being the birthday of Burns, the lee
ture would not have been complete with
out an illustration of his birthplace, the
Kirk of Alloway, where his father lies
buried, and his monument.
He gave an account of the Island OF
Iona, and the labors of st. Colombo in
the cause Of Christianity.
The lecture had scarcely commenced
when the electric current being broken
the audience was treated to an instau-
taneous dissolving view, and during the
half-hour that elapsed before the circuit
was again established the tact and de-
scriptive eloquence of the lecturer tided
over what would otherwise have been an
annoying wait.

KANSAS POPULlSTS.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
Topeka (Kas.), Jan. 25.-The Legis-
lature met in joint session to-day. The
Republican members of both houses de-
elined to answer roll-call. Ninety-one
responded-eight more than a quorum.
Eleven of these members were Populists
of the House who were given seats
through the contest. Without these there
was no quorum. When the Senate roll
call was called the entire Populist vote
went to John Martin, and O'Brien,
Democrat. also voted for him. The result
of the joint ballot, as finally announced,
was: Martin, Sc; Coburn, 4; Hanna, l;
Sydney, l; Love, !. The President an
nounced that Martin was elected United
States Senator. Before he did this, how
ever, Senator Baker demanded that the
Republicans be given a right to vote.
The President ruled the vote having been
announced no further vote could be re-
ceived.
The Populist joint session then dis
solved. Senator Baker tRep.), mounting
a chair in the midst of cheering for Mar
tin, offered resolution declaring that
ten of the Populists who had voted in
joint session have no legal right to seats;
that there had been no election, and call
ing on the members to meet and elect a
Senator. Speaker Douglass was elected
Chairman of the Republican joint ses-
sion. After the resolution was adopted
an Intellectual ballot was taken, and Il
votes were cast for Ady. There was no
quorum. Adjourned till tomorrow.
NTre o,,I
been prominent in the councils of the
Peoples party, are furious over the cleo
ton Of Judge Martin as Senator. "You
can say for me-" said Mrs. Lease" the
election of Judge Martin is a death blow
to the Populist party in Kansas. re-
nounce my allegiance to it."
Mrs. Diggs said: 'When the Populist
party elected Judge Martin Senator, it
committed suicide. From its ashes, how
ever, will arise party not to be domi-
mated by political tricksters, which will
carry out the will of the people,"
REPUBLICANS PROTEST.
Topeka (Kan.), Jan. 25.-The Republi-
cans tonight prepared a statement de-
claring that Judge Martin was not legally
elected Senator. To the statement is
added a protest against the recognition
of Judge Martin by the Federal Senate,
and then the statement and protest was
telegraphed to the Republican Senatorial
Committee and the United States Senate
Committee on Elections. Tomorrow the
Republicans will probably unite on some
stalwart Democrat, and hope to get
enough dissatisfied Democrats and Popu-
lists to meet with them to effect an cleo
ton.

in Reply to Judge Turner.
OLYMPIA (Wash.), Jan. Ex-senator
John B. Alien is out to-day in an open
letter in reply to Judge Turner's refer
ence to the action of corporations in the
contest. Senator Allen says "W neither
agents of the railroad company are
friendly or hostile to a candidate for the
United States Senate is not the
question, as Judge Turner seeks by his
ingenious statement to lead the people to
believe. But it is vital to the Republicans
to learn whether a majority Of the Re-
publican party shall be permitted to con-
troll in selecting United States Senator,
or whether it shall surrender the trust to
a small minority upon a special plea.
Thirty eight constitute majority of the
Republican members of our Legislature.
In the caucus forty-fye indorsed me as
the party's candidate.
I'm the joint session Of the two houses
5l Republicans as against "a Republicans
have each day for week. and in a score
of ballots, named me for Senator. The
Republicans stand responsible to this
State and country for the selection of a
United States Senator. If responsible,
there must be some method by which
that responsibility is to be met. There
can be no other way than by majority
action within the caucus, which is the
council Of the Republican party. The
minority should be fully heard, and if
able to convince or persuade sufficient
number of the correctness of their views
they become majority and should con-
troll, but if unable they should acquiesce
with the greater number and make the
party rule practicable"

First Struggle This Session Over
Presidential Nomination.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-For the first
time this session the Senate struggled in
executive session over a Presidential
nomination, that of Louis McComas, to
be Associate Justice of the District of
Columbia Supreme Court. To-day the
Senate went into executive session with
a determination on the part of the Repub-
lican Senators TO confirm the nomination
before adjournment. The opposition,
however, desired TO be heard, and more
than four hours were consumed in de-
bate. Opposition to the nominee was
based almost entirely upon the ground
that McComas was not resident of the
District. When it came to vote, how
ever, there was no attempt TO filibuster
and the result was decisive. the vote
standing IS for confirmation to l3 for the
opposition.

services, Rev. Horatio Stebbins of San
Francisco delivered the sermon, and ad
dresses were made by Rev. c. w. Wendte
OF Oakland and Rev. j. L. Levy of this
city.
Rev. Mr.. Stebbins' sermon was very
eloquent discourse, and one of wide scope
and comprehensivenesS. He dwelt at
length upon the necessity for liberality in
religion and outlined what he was pleased
TO call birds-eye view of ChristendOm.
He reviewed in general the origin OF
creed, sect and church, the effect OF them
upon civilization in the past and at pres
ent He believed that the world pro-
gressed, and that even if we believed as
our fathers believed, we could not always
do as they did. Religion and spiritual
belief, like everything else, was undergo
ing constant change, and could not re-
main stationary.
He desired particularly to impress
upon his hearers the difference between
sects and churches, and defined the
former as something implying fixed or
professed belief and principles, while a
church might mean something more.
Rev. Mr.. Stebbins' sermon was one
evincing great depth of thought and
scholarly treatment, and held his hearers
intently interested.

The Commander of the Mohican
Bounced Out of the Navy.

DOAhCGd ONAt VI bllG navy
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Commander
Henry L. Johnson has been dismissed
from the navy. He was tried before
general court-martial at the Mare Island
Navy-yard in December last on three
charges, the principal one Of which, in
official language, was through negl-
gence, suffering a vessel Of the navy to be
run upon a rock and hazarded." The
vessel was the Mohican, which Johnson
commanded, and the grounding took
place of the Alaska coast. She is the
vessel to which he was assigned after
suspension several years ago for the same
offense for which he was dismissed. The
court found him guilty on the three
charges preferred, and sentenced him to
dismissal. Secretary Tracy approved the
findings, and this action was confirmed
by President Harrison.
