Hon. John NJ. Nelson, Of Madison,
representing the Third Wisconsin
district, gave an impartial account
Of the outrage of indictment to
which he was subjected by a bull
doing Bourbon blockhead in the
office of the United States District
Attorney. He offered a pro fol a
resolution impeaching the blockhead
in question, but withdrew it, explain
ing that the case had been quashed
by the court, the blockhead retired,
and his successor appointed. He
acknowledged heartfelt obligations
to Speaker Clark and other Demo
Gratis, who, as we'll as his Republican
friends, had stood bv him against
the attempt to shame and disgrace
him. No lines Of section or Of party
can divide Americans in their con-
demnation Of stupid Bourbons who
think that America can be controlled
bv using the courts for purposes Of
intimidation and "Shrecklichkeit."

of the modern. French school Of De-

offer almost nothing TO the artists

In speaking Of the famous negro

that he is now singing in fashionable

When Burleigh was porter, at the
time that the Bohemian Dvorak was
teaching in New York, some one told
Dvorak of bis having composed a
number OF things The great Bo-

so impressed with the true gift shown
in his work that he took him for a
