bright evidence of her acce pta nee

TO her death, she awoke one morning

thought that it would be realized at
once. Blessed are they that do His
commandments, that they may have n
right to the Tree of Life and may en-
ter in through the gates into the City:'
and they shall see His face;" and
God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes, and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor crying
neither shall there be any more pains.

which resulted in a considerable
exposure Of ears as he stood up and
brayed against the purely sentimen.
tai bill for the repeal of the law
prohibiting Confederate officers who
held commissions in the United
States Army previous to the war
being commissioned again therein.
Everybody admitted that the bill,
which unanimously passed the
Senate Christmas eve, was merely
an evidence of cordislity towards
the ex. Confederate, and that there
Is not even probability that any
ex-Confederate will thereby become
an officer Of the United States
Army, except in the very improb.
able event of an early foreign war.
But Boutelle would not see it that
way. He ranted against it for the
greater part Of one session of the
House, and finally cast the only
vote that was recorded against the
bill in either branch of Congress.
Boutelle's constituents must be diff
ferent from other men if they are
not heartily ashamed OF Kim and
