The Great ExpunseP.

In 1884, after an exciting debate Of several weeks, congress passed a res olution ceusuring President Andrew Jackson for removing the public de- posits from the old National bank The resolution as passed by congress declared that the president in the late executive proceedings in relation to the public revenue has assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the constitution and laws, but in derogadon of both" The ac- ton of congress made Jackson and his friends very angry, and Senator Thom- as Benton of Missouri gave notice that he would bring forward every year 6 resolution to eSpunge the resolution of censure. After struggle of three years Benton's resolution was finally passed, and black lines were drawn around the resolution of censure, with the n- scription, "Expunged by the order Of the senate this 16th day of January, 1S37." Senator Benton was nicknamed ''the great expunger." His service to Jackson on this matter was considered the more remarkable because many years before he and Jackson had a pistol fight in hotel at Nashville, in which Jackson was wounded and Ben ton was pitched headlong downstairs.

Louis, Compliment to Condo.

One need not overlook the enormous shortcomings of Louis XIV. as q man and as king to admit that In some i'm portant respects he tried to do his duty" He was hard working sover- etgn both in the sphere of adminlstra- ton and in that social sphere which was to his mind nO less important. So courteous that be never passed the poorest woman about the palace with out lifting his hat, he carried polite consideration to tho level of fine art. In the way of courteous speech there are few things nobler than his remark to the great Condo as the old hero was slowly ascending the great marble staircase al Versailles. Condo apolo- gized for being so long in mounting the steps, at the top of which the king stood waiting. "Ah, cousin" Louis re- piled, "Une moves slowly when one is laden with laure!s."
