In the colloquy between Mr. Money and
Mr. Chandler, the latter alleged that the
passage of the fifteenth amendment to the
constitution was due to the rejection by
the Southern states of the fourteenth
amendment.
Mr. Money said this whole question had
been opened by Mr.. Pritchards resolu-
ton. MIR. Chandler retorted with much
vehemence that the whole Southern ques>
ton had been opened by the remarkable
speech of Mr.. Morgan, in which he had
mistakenly maligned the people of the en-
IRE North and was being followed by other
Southern senators in the same Vein. He
read that paragraph of Mr.. Morgan's
speech in which the Alabama senator had
charged that the Civil War had been pre-
cipitated by the designing politicians of
the North with the idea of thrusting
upon the people OF the South the negro

Birthplace of Dr. johnson.

The announcement that the Lichfeld
City Council has purchased the birth
place of DR.. Samuel Johnson, in Mars
ket square, is not the first sign of the
towns appreciation of its most illus
trious son. In 1867, at a common hall
of the bailiffs and citizens, it was or
dered without solicitation that lease
of the ground upon which the house
stood should be granted to the doctor
for term of ninety-nine years at the
old rent, which was five shillings, and
that no fine should be paid. Johnson
also had high opinion of his native
town. Sir" he said to Boswell, 1--WE
are a city of philosophers; we work
with our heads, and make the boobies
of Birmingham work for us with their
hands" 1t was in Lichfield, too, that
Johnson fell in love with an actress
who played Flora in Hob in the

House Where DRYDEN Died.

Upon the two hundredth anniver-
sary of Dryden's death it is interesting
TO note that of all the London houses
prominently associated with the name
of the great satirist, only one remains.
This is No. 43 Gerard street. Soho,
and it bears tablet recording the fact
that he resided and died there. The
house in Long-acre where he lived for
some four years, is now unrecogniz-
able; and his house in Fetter lane,
over Fleur-de-Lys court, which also
bore a commemorative tablet, went the
way of the "housebreaker" in 1887, as
did also that of his friend, the poet
Otway, who lived just over the way,
where the Record Office now stands
Finally. Wills Coffee House, once a
favorite resort of Dryden and the
wits" has long since assumed the pro-
sale guise of a ham and beef shop.

A BANKERS DISCOVERY.

What to use when you are sick Is a

wonder why it is that so many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is a land of plenty
Nebraska where all kinds of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churc hes and
schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for "The Corn Belt" a
beautifully illustrated monthly
paper that tells all about Nebraska,
and also for THE West Nebraska
Grazing Country, an interesting
illustrated booklet containing a
large sectional map of Nebraska.
On the first and third Tuesdays
of each month during the balance
