During the consideration OF the

delivered a speech in which he re-
hearsed the history of Republican
legislation. which, he said, he did for
the purpose Of "%disputing the unwar-

student Of the future would point to
it as 1.-The period when the people

Of a Republic, whereby Federal law
is enacted for no class or financial
condition, but for all the people"
He said thai the legislation of the
last two Congresses had been charg-
ed with producing the late financial
disturbance, and he undertook to
refute the charge as untrue. He re-
fcrred especially to the railroad leg

themselves as a political asset in flu

LITTLE Great Man.

A Chinese who had long studied the
works Of COnfucius, who knew the
characters of $4,000 words and could
read a great part OF every book that
came in his way once took II into his
head TO travel into Europe. Upon his
arrival at Amsterdam his passion for
letters naturally led him to a book
sellers shop, and as be could speak a
little Dutch he civilly asked the book
seller for the works Of the immortal
Xixofou. The bookseller assured him
he had never heard the book mention
ed before. ALAS" cried our traveller,

Ink Frozs on the Pen.

The winter Of 1884 in Europe stin

tremendous was the cold that trees
split asunder with deafening reports.
The strangest sight OF all was on the
Thames. Here on more than a foot
thickness Of ice a thoroughgOing town
OF streets was erected. There were
tailors' shops, butchers shops, tObac-
conists, printers and, indeed, many 9th
er businesses all being carried on as II
they had stood there for years.
Writing anywhere but near a large
IRE was impossible, as the ink froze in
