ooclcty in Omaha the past week has
been quiet , but little occurring entitled
to mention. The Hrow neil hall exer
cises was perhaps the most important
feature of 'the week , but the extensive
preparations for u reception in the even-
liiK at that institution wcro in
vain on account of illness in the
rector's family. The Klk's benefit , a few
weddings , a reunion and a number of din
ners complete the bill , leaving only the
rush for hummer shades the solo noticea
ble move of society. Within the next
ten weeks a wholesale emigration of so
cial swells will occur , and it will not bo
lone bcforo there will bo nothiiif ; to
chroniclft'of social movements in thu Gate
Hrowncll llnll.
Ikowncll Hall was a scene of beauty
Tuesday. The commencement exercises
of that excellent institution passed oil * in
n charming manner. Six beautiful young
girls were given sheepskins. The grad
uates were Miss Kollia Gaudy , Miss
Ell/abcth Hall , Miss Cornelia Thomas ,
Miss 1'lorenco Ayers , Mls.s Flora Castet-
ter and Miss May Hoyco , the last named

The entire programme was excellent.

fication at the splendid management of

sketch of thu school's history.
Uev. Uobort Scott , of Beatrice , deliv
ered a sermon bcforo the faculty and
students of lirownull Hall on Sunday last
at the Trinity cathedral. The text was
from Psalm 48 v. 18-14 : "Walk about
/Aon. * * Mark yo n.11 her bul
warks. " The sermon was beautiful , and
fully appreciated.

IN MUS. MUMAUOH'S STUDIO.
Mrs. Miimaugh's class continues to in
crease daily , so that no matter what the
state of the thermometer , : i visitor Is cer
tain to find tlie studio crowded to its lim
its. One of the most noticeable objects
was a piece of order work executed by
Mrs. Mumnugu. The broad frame of a
mirror is adorned with an oriental HCCIIO.
A stretch of sandy desert merges , at the
liori/.on , in distant , indistinct hills , that
suggest the proximity of n moro fertile
country. Tlie peculiar nioltnn sunset of
the orient is represented witli the same
fidelity that has been commended in Mr.
Heyd s eastern subjects , of wWrih this
onu is strongly sugirestivo. 'An.bbnfiGd ! ,
turbnned sheik , nud ijark-fekinncd'Asiutic
women are sketched'with characteristic
vigor , and add a touch of brightness to
tlie landscape. The figures are admirably
harmonious with the surroundings , and
the drapery is in rich , deep tones- that
are striking without being obtrusive.
Mrs. Selma Higginson , who has long
been one of Mrs. Murnuugh's most inde
fatigable pupils , has prolitcd greatly
bv the superior gift and art education of
her teacher , ana has achieved creditable
results. One of her best is a sunny wood
and scene , with two figures standing on
i rustic bridge that crosses a brook in
he foreground. It is a splendid piece of
vork. Done under the close supervision
of so competent an instructor , the effort
could hardly fail to bo a success.
One of Mrs. Mumaugh's happiest f
'orts ' in crayon is a portrait of her bright
ittlo four-year-old daughter , Hculah ,
whose quaint old fashioned ways and
> rigiual sayings have made her the won-
tier of the studio coterie with whom shu
i as always been a pi.'t. In tlie crayon
portrait the child's expression is repro
duced to the life. Her head is archly up
ifted and a knowing half-smile lends
liquaney to the baby features.
Miss Emma Halbach , a former pupil ,
las returned from Mis.-i Grunt's school in
luciiiro , for the holidays , and is en
caged in her old occupation of china
lamting , in which shu has done a great
leal of beautiful work. Miss Kittle
Lowe , another pupil , is expected home
From .the south shortly , and will bo
; ladly welcomed by her studio acquaint
uuccs ,
Mrs. Johnson , a recent acquisition to
the studio ; has evinced considerable skill
witli her brush. A dillicult study of Hour
do lis , and another of marguerites were
exquisitely done.

Heforo bidding farewell to the City of

old French hospital which sheltered mo
in days of doubt and misery , as well us
In the after days of pence and rejoicing ?
Small-pox , contracted 1 know not how ,
brought my little girl to death's door and
to the door of this haven of rest , so often
opened wide to the sick. Hut fortune fa-
vorud us so kindly In , the end that my
sojourn there lias become one of the ten
der memories of my life. This house I
should love to paint could I wield the
brush with sulliciont power ; as it is , I can
only transfer from my mind to paper a
peaceful recollection of it. for peaceful
It was ut early morn , at noon , aud at
night. Peaceful in its early days as a
convent , peaceful now in succoring
within Its tender , gray walls , the sick.
Four , low , time-stained walls , and
within them a sunny old garden with its
well of healing water. Wide , brick-
iloorcd corridors surrounded it where the
weary sick could sit with hands at rest
uud watch the llmvors dancing and
nodding in gay dre < . Nodding to so
many Tiopoful eyes , and eyes often
dimmed with homesick tears as tticso
fragile beauties brought to mind a gar
den of long ago , probably in another
country ; gardens of their childhood ,
where long , bright days were spent by
the side , perhaps , of a long dead mother ,
or possibly , in pursuit of a butterlly as
tantalizing in its beauty and wayward
actions us the woman he loved in after
life. High up in one corner , hung like a
swallow's ' nest , and cracked like the old
building , was a bull of olden time , which
proclaimed the hours of prayer for so
many years. In passing among the sick
1 would ask them if tlioy wondered , as
I dm , how many priests it
used to catch with its bra/en tongue ,
breaking fast before early prayers as it
should not have done. All being Catho
lics , pitticd me , but forgave mv profan
ity , for should 1 not , without their help ,
eo to purgatory ? O ! yo of too much
faith , thought I , could you but hear a
priest tell one of your faith legends to a
heretic , you would begin to open your
eyes as ours were opened long ago. On
lirst reaching the hospital we were con-
lined in the section of the building de
voted to infectious'diseases , and , strange
to relate , in our apartment was the well
stocked library of the hospital , to which
came , at all hours , for books , the halt ,
the maimed and sick , and in various
tongues would enquire for la chiquita
( the little girl ) , as the Spaniards called
her. 1 love them allmost of allthe short ,
ronnd.noseless man who brought so many
irrepressible smiles to the convalescing
child. A young American , also aiUictcd
with small-pox , had occupied the room
before us , only sixteen years old and
without friends in the country. Ono
night high fever and delirium possessed
him , nnd his two watchers had falleli
asleep. Something whispered to him tno
situation , for ho jumped from the bed ,
climbed to the high window and leaped
into the garden below. A heavy rain
was falling , but away ho lied fur Into the
country. The attendants , waking , found
their siillbror gone ; hospital and grounds
were searched ! but to * uo purpose ; the
boy could not be found * The next day
two peons brought him to tlio hospital ,
having found him fur away by the road
side , covered only by drops of rain from
heaven , but they had demo tlinir healing
work , for fever and delirium were gone.
There in that cool room'with ' its polished
white board Hoar , lirst I saw that 1'rcnch
mother of the hospital , who took from
me with strong aims loving arms , to her
( icurt my stricken child , to bring back to
new , vigorous life. Under her devoted
oarc the little swollen laeo gradually re
gained its shape , while , sweet , new life
streamed through her veins. lo you
woiuler that I love that mother , that the
whole place is snared to mat As the
vesper bull rings butrits call to prayer ,
may it sweetly call into .heaven some soul
taking lliglit from thia : hospital , and may
it sheu everlasting peace within its walls.

One more bit of familiar ground to bo
gone over this Sunday morning , and we
will loiter no longer in the city
of Mexico. It is through the
portales do Mcrcadcrcs , where curious
sights can bo Rucn anil where many an
article of virtu can bo bought for a song
from the uativcs , seated hero and there
upon the sidewalk , their wares spread
before them. The greater portion of
these articles were stolen through the
week by thieving servants , and brought
hsro to bo Hold. Thread your way in
nmong the motley crowd. Indian men
and women are busils-liiiitting stockings
and selling blankets , cheap jewelry ped
dlers attracting notice only by their
gaudy dress , Press on until you reach
the gracious , wolito Turk who sells rare
diamonds and exquisite pieces of china ;
on to the Mexican who exhibits old rusty
nails and door latches , bits of broken
rails as well as telegraph wires , and , for
aught I know , telegraph poles. Still on
to another who exposes to your
delighted vision , Spanish combs. The
last one fascinates von with fans , and
such fans from Franco and Spain
as would drive n coquette wild as she
thought of the execution which might bo
accomplished through them by careful
manipulation. Through and over this
strange scene lustily shouts the voice ol
lottery ticket vender , A lady visiting in
the United States sat for nor photograph ,
and as they wore not completed when
she left there , she ordered them scut to
her in Mexico. Time went on , they did
not arrive. Ono Sunday morning as the
lady was walking here , she encountered
her own face a dozen times for sale. The
photographs hail been stolen from the
postotuco and brought hero.
*

Now these , to mo , homelike scenes , are
fading away , as with the Hush of early
dawn breaking over ' the city , wo bid
gooil-by to them all 'xnd start by the
Mexican Central railway tor the north.
As the landscape rapidly grows in
distinct to my vision , tours como. for this
city will bo to mo in the future , like unto
a dream. Passing through a lovely
country and the wonderful Noches
Tonga , wo reach Tula , the ancient capi
tal of the Toltecs and hero eat our break
fast consisting of enchiladas , tomalls ,
and the yeast like beverage , pulquo ,
which is passed through the car windows
by smiling Indian women. Proceeding
wo reach one of the loveliest bits of Mex
ico's scenery ; the green , stream fed , be
witching Canada , which constitutes a fit
ting preface to our entrance to the city
of Quoritcro. Hut here , one la almost
appalled at the sight of u magnificent
stone aqueduct 100 feet high , which con
ducts the water from yonder mountains
to the city. It was constructed ut the
personal expense of a certain Marquis do
Villar del Aquila.
*
Queritoro , a city af80,000 inhabitants
though within the tropics , possesses t
perfectly delightful lomi-tropical climate
Lying 2,000 feet below Mexico shn I ;
more profuse in HOWCM , more bountifu
in her fruits. The streets arc narrow
paved , and very clean ; the houses are
built' ono and two stories high , are
brightly painted , and the interiors mada <
attractive bv prettily decorated courts.
In the morning with the soft air playing
about you , walk lazily along to the
quaint , old plaza , rest them , and the
luxury of perfect quietness will steal over
\pu. A picturesque , primitive people
are leading an uneventful life around
you , and you study It with wonder and
pleasure. On one side of this plaxa is an
old church of curious architecture , aud
apparently from out one side of it ,
amidst beautiful stone carving , spouts a
stream of spaikling water , which is one
of the outlets of the above mentioned
aqueduct. The thirst of Quorlturo is
gratilled from this stream , the water
being conveyed to the population in a la
borious manner. A wheelbarrow con
structed framework with places for
four water jars is trundled over the cob
blestones by bare-backed , bare-legged
peons from house to house , back to the
stone basin Into which the water tum
bles , nnd , where these water jars have
rusted on its stone rim for so many years ,
they have worn pathetic holes to the
depth of four or live inches.
From lioro the street cars tart for the
Hercules cotton factory , the largest one
in the country , munutacturing , princi
pally , mantu , unblcachud cotton , much
used by the peons. If you have grown
weary hero puss on to the tree-grown ,
rose-licdgcd alemada ami as the sun
gradually niukos Its course westward ,
turn yourslups towards historical ground ,
the "Cono do las Cumpanas , " ( The Hill
of the Hells. ) On that spot stood the
Kniperor Maximilian that fatal June
day. A wave of sorrow rolls over the
hill bringing with it a gllmpsu of the
past , into that summer when Maximilian
with such great ambition strove to hold
out against the republicans under
Kscohedo and fuildtt. Then , life seemed
learer than power , to him , so
10 endeavored to escape through the
enemies lines , only to bo confronted
igain by failure and arrest. Thus the
list days of this ambitious but thwarted
ifc were spent in prison , which place ho
eft only to como here. Imagine the last
act : hero stood the proud , graceful figure
uiii the beauty of the day and scene
struck him even in that awful hour , for
iccxclaimed : "What a pleasure to die
on sucli a glorious dity us this. " Ho
> cgged the soldiers to lire below his face ,
hat it might not bo mutilated. On cither
side of him-stood his faithful generals ,
tlcjia and.Miramon. At his feet , stretch-
ng towards the silent city , stood the
nultitudo of soldiers , quiet nnd
stern , their bayonets glancing in the
sunlight. On the slope of
the hill'bo stood , facing the picturesque
nestling city in the peaceful valley , with
shadows of llcecy clouds dotting it.
Jnrlottu across the water went insane at
.he prospect of this death which he con
fronted so boldly. In the midst of an
iwful silence , he himself , gave the order
o tire , and out on the stillness shivered
he quick report of musketry and the
Emperor Maximilian lay rolling over aud
over In death's agony , while his two gen
erals lay dead beside him. When he , at
ast , was quiet and peaceful , a murmur
irose , growing louder and louder until it
reached notes of rejoicing , and the bells
of the city cathedral caught itand peeled
forth to the Mexicans , the welcome news ,
that they were once again a republic , for
Maximilian was no more. Thus ended
the day of Juno 11 > , 1807.
A HEAD IN MINIATURE.
A Cariosity of the Preserving Art of
tlio Old Koundor Inditing.
There is a cheerful little curiosity at
the depot of tlio Scott Stamp and Coin
company , 721 Hroadway , says the New
York Times. It is dark red in colorlooks
like baked clay , is no bigger than the
bowl of a pipe , which it much resembles ,
and yet is actually the head of a full
grown Indian chief.
There is a tribe of Indians in Ecuador ,
in South America , whoso habitat is the
eastern slope of the Andes , around the
headwaters of the Aroa/.on. Their an
cestors had a custom , winch prevailed
among several other savage tribes , of
preserving the heads of some of their
dead. Their method , however , was un
like any other known. They removed all
the bony structure from the skull , and
then , in some way which never has be
come known to the outside world , com
pressed the lleshy portion down to the
the smallest possible si/.o , and then har
dened and preserved it from decay. The
knowledge of the process has been lost
to tho'Indians , and all the heads now in
their possession arc supposed to bo at
leat three hundred years old. It is said
by the Scott company's agent that this
head is the second of the Kind that has
ever left Ecuadar.tho Indians refusing to
part with them at any price , as they arc
semi-religious symbols and deeply
venerated.
The one at the depot has the features
perfectly preserved , though in miniature
form. The eyes are merely little closed
cavities , the cheeks are sunken in , while
the mouth and ears are a little larger
in proportion than in life , having appar
ently shrunken loss than the other parts.
The thick , uoarso black hair , which is
about a foot in length , has thickened seat
at the roots as the scalp has shrunk that
it cannot be parted. There is n seam
coarsely sewn up the back of the head
showing how the scalp was cut to re
move ttuf'skidl. Thcro is also a cord
runninflVfroni the seam upward to hang
the roue' with , and another set of cords
attached'by three small holes to the pro
jecting UPS. Altogether the object is a
very strange one , and bears every evi
deuce of its perfect authenticity.
The agent who was exhibiting it yesterday
day to any who cared to see it furnished
interesting facts concerning Peruvian
mummies. Some time ago a tourist ob
tained in Peru a lot of mummy eyes
which wcro preserved in some way thai
rendered them imperishable. Ho gave
them to a jeweler to round and polish , in
order that they might bo set us a lady's
nccklce , and all the workmen engaged in
polishing them wore seriously poisoned
the poison coming from the dust o
arsenic used in their preservation. I
appears , however , that they were no
human eyes , but the eyes of cuttlefish
which are the only eyes known which arc
indestructible , and which were used by
the Peruvians to rcplaco the shrunken
orbs of the dead.
On Which Side Shall the Waiter Walt.
Chicago Journal : As I otod looking in
to a restaurant to-day at the movements
of the table-waiters , I wondered how
long it had boon considered neccsary for
a waiter to perform all his duties nt the
right-hand side of the person ho is wait
ing on. 1 am very certain that when I
was a kid it was well understood that a
waiter should wait on a person at the
table from his left-hand bide , and the
reasons for such a rnlc are plain enough.
People arc right-handed. When I sit at
the table my goblet , napkin knife and
fork ar.i at the right of my plate , and the
goblet generally contains water , while at
tlio loft of my plate there is nothing.
Can anything bo plainer than that ,
under these circumstances , it is easier
for a waiter to sit down or remove dishes
on ray left hand than on my right ?
Even when I am examining a bill of
faro I hold it up in my right hand and it
is a little more awkward to glvo the
waiter my order over my right arm than
- at my left hand. If I wish to assist the
waiter in lauding a plate of soup , or if I
wish to move a dish out of his way while
ho is sitting another down I can do it
without any trouble if ho ho is nt my left
hand , but only at my peril if ho is on my
right hand. So 1 think the man who
changed the old fashioned rule must
hayo been an unusually stupid fool.
There is another reason why the old rule
is far the best , and that is that I am dcat
in my right ear.

republicans have their opponents at a de
cided disadvantage. For twenty-five years
or more the republicans have been on the de
fensive. It is one of the easiest tasks In the
world to Hud fault , to pick flaws , aud the
democrats have hail nothing to do but to crit
icise and object to whatever the republicans
.lid or proposed to do.
If the democrats had nothing to propose
icmselves they could always lind fault with
hat their opponents might hnvc devised
ml undertook to carry out. Now , however ,
situation Is reversed. The boot is on the
jttior let' . The democrats are on the itcfun-

ute tint next contest with dead loads of am-
umitloii , turulsiicil them , too , by tlio ilemo-

lieless , It behooves the republicans not to
hrow away any chances. They must bring

without indulging any previously coucelved
.jriidllectlons or sentiments.
lu this point , too , the republicans have a
decided advantage. The democrats can Imvo

ind when the national convention meets the
.telcgutes of thatgrnnt assembly will all have
but one tnln ? , will ask but one question ,
.vliocnn lead us to victory the most surely ? All
tther considerations will bo sternly put
.side . until that one question is settled and
out of the way.
As the wise counsellors nnd astute leaders
of the party scan the Held over , and as the
rank nnd life of the party consider the prob
lem in their evcrvduy way. tlio current of
conviction seems to bo Betting stronger and
stronger in one particular direction. As the
davs goby John Sherman looms up larger
and larger In the popular estimation. Kx-
iresslons In his favor como from every qnar-
; erof tlio union and from all classes of
. ( linking , wide awake Republicans. And
this boom bears the marks which show that
t Is not worked up or.pumpedup.by artificial
fforts , but Is the gonulnu outspoken convic
tion ot those from whom they come.
Sherman's splendid abilities as a
statesman ; his thorough equipment
for party leadership , his untarnished
record as n public servant , unswerving devo
tion to the principles of the party , his great
services to the conn try In the past nnd his
wide knowledge of public att'alra , are attract
ing to Ids support hosts of men who have
either been the partisans , or Indifferent to
"Us claims upon the support of his party.
The state depart men t has not yet decided
the question raised by the Swedish
government relative to the tonnage
dues , which shall bo levied upon
vessels from that country on entering the
ports of the United States. The Swedish
government claims that under the construc
tion of the existing treaty between the two
nations made by Henry Clay , when ho was
secretary of state. Us vessels are entitled to
admission to American ports at the same
rate of charges as nre imposed upon Cana
dian , Mexican aud Central American vessels
under the terms of the Ulngloy bill ot 18t > 0.
Secretary Bayard at lirst took an opposite
view ; but the agent of the Swedish vessel
owners called his attention to the position
assumed on the same subject by Mr. Clay ,
nnd the department decided to look Into the
suhtcct further. The other maritime nations
of Europe are anxiously a will tin ? the second
ruling of the department on this question ,
and It is quite likely that the outcome may
be a serious disarrangement ot the port
charges upon foreign shipping. The presi
dent has already Issued a proclamation
abolishing nil nuch charges against the ships
of the Netherlands , it having been shown to
him tlmt that country nn longer compels
vessels from any other country to pay for
the privilege of entering Its ports.
( IKKMANY IS WATCHING TUB OUTCOME
of the correspondence between the S wed I si
vessel men and the United States with pceu
liar Interest because Abe. does not maintain
port charges against foreign shipping and
has not done so for year. Many years aeo
the United States reciprocally abolished all
such charges ; but during the war when every
method of raising revenue wns eagerly
sei/.ed upon thutonnago : tax was established
mice more. Foreign countries interested
were not notified of the change , but not one
of them raised an objection. Now tlmt there
Is n disposition on the part of the United
States to Increase Its commerce by removing
the burdens trom shipping to these coun
tries , very naturally think that there should
be no discrimination In favor ot any particu
lar country aud they will therefore doubtlcs :
move on the LMngley shipping bill ns soon as
the secretary ot state decides the question
now before him.
Some of the actions of the commission
which Is appointed by law to govern
the alTalrs nt the District of Columbia
are beyond nil milling out. Tlien
is no other government like that which ex
Ists hero aud although It Is In many respect :
the be.st In the world , It Is In others simply ai
bad as It can be. The commissioners 11
nosing around among the rusty old law book )
discovered it blue law some time ago \vliicl
prevented the sale of bread , Ice cream , and
cigars and soda water OB Sunday. They
tried to enforce it aud the courts ruled the
law void. Now they are going still farther
back , nnd propose to enforce nn old worm-
eaten and forgotten statute which gives them
the right to close every place of business and
to htop every man from working on the Sab
bath day. while two of tlio commissioners
wuio engaged In brushing the dust oil' this
old , forgotten law , the other was nosing
round to nee what ho could discover nnd ho
found tlmt In certain sections of the city the
residents were not credited with having paid
water main taxes. Ho at once made out
bills and the result of it is that during the
tlw past week , one concern which was con
ducting its business In the blissful belief
that It wns square with the world , Is con
fronted with a tax tor water mains at the
rate of one nnd one-half cents per
square foot on every Inch of property owned
by them. The total amount of the alleged
indebtedness Is something like forty thous
and dollars. In one of the suburbs known as
.bedroll park , the residents were frightened
out of their boots a day or two ngo on receiv
ing notilicatlons of alleged Indebtedness to
the district at the same rate as that mention
ed above nnd for thu same purpose. Ono
gentleman who lias a very nice place Is
coolly Informed that ho must pay 81'SJO dollars
lars at once If ho would avoid legal proceed
ings. The Joke of all this (9 ( , thaUhc.se resi
dents of Leiliolt park laid their own water-
mains and made their own connections ten
or fifteen years ago and that the one man
who Is the heaviest taxed laid a main en
tirely around his property. Of course tneso
taxes cannot bo cnfoiccd but it does
fieein as though the pcoplu who reside in

annoyance and scare occasioned by such ex

A l'cn-1'iuturn of n Scene That Stnrllnil
nnd Angered the Nation.
John Hay and .John Nicolay fn Juno
Century : Uu thu 3.M day of May. two
day. * alter the speech ( In which rliurh's
Sunnier had excoriated Senator Duller ,
uncle of Kcprosontatlvo Preston S.
Hrooks ) Brooks entered tlio senutu cham
ber. The seats wore urnuigod In semi
circles , with a railing to separate them
from a narrow lobby or open space next
the walls ; a broad aisle ran from thu
main door to the desk of the presiding
olllcer. Mr. Stunner's seat wns in thu
outside row next to tlio railing , at thu
second desk to the right from the en
trance and tlio main aisle. Occupied
with his work , Mr. Summer did not no
tice Mr. Brook * sitting across the aisle to
his left , and where , in conversation witli
a friend ho was manifesting his impa
tience that a lady seated near Mr. Sumner -
ner did not take her departure from the
chamber. Almost at that moment shu
probably are o and went out , for quickly
afterward Hrooks got tin and advanced
to the front of Summer's desk. The fact
attracted the attention of Hrooks' friend :
he was astonished , amid the bitterness ol ,
party feeling , to see a South Carolina
Representative talk to a Massachusetts
Senator. His astonishment was uuickly
corrected. Leaning upon the desk aud
addressing Summer with u rapid sen-
onoo or two , to tliu ell'ect that ho had
can his .speech , that it was a libel upon
lis absent relative * nnd that he had come
o punish him for it. Hrooks began strik-
ng him on thu head with a guttayerchu
valking-eane of tlio ordinary length aud
bout nn inch in diameter.
Surprised , blinded nnd stuuucd by the
ilows Summer's lirst instinct was ta
grapple with his assailant. This ellbrt ,
'lowevcr , was futile ; the desk was bo-
, weon them , and , being by his sitting
josturo partially under it , Summer
wns prevented from rising fully to hlt <
'cot until he had by main strength , lit
lis struggles , wrenched it from its fasten-
ngs on the tloor. In his attempt to fol-
ow Brooks they became turned , and
rom between thu desks moved out into
, ho main aisle. Hy this time , through
, ho repetition of the heavy blows and
oss of blood , Sumner became unconsci
ous. Hrooks , sni/.lug him by the coat
collar , continued his murrdcrous attack
ill Stunner , reeling in utter helplessness ,
ank upon the tloor beside the desk near-
ist the "aisle , one row nearer the contro
jf the chamber than his own. Tlio wit
nesses variously estimated the number of
blows given at from ten to thirty. Two
lirinciplc wounds , two inches long aud
in inch deep , had been cut wn the back :
jf Sumn'cr's ncad , nnd near the end of
attack Urook's cano was shivered to
plintcrs.
There were perhaps ton or fifteen per-
ions in the chamber , and after the lirst
.jiomentary pause of astonishment half-a-
dozen started to interfere. Ueforo they
reached the spot , however , Mr. Keitt ,
another South Carolina member of eon-
, came rushing down the main aisle ,
randishing his cano , and with impreca
tions warning lookers-on to "lot him
jilouo. " Among those hastening to tlio
rescue Mr. Morgan arrived lirst , just in
lime to catch and sustain tlio senator as
Jio fell. Another bystander who had run
around outside the railing , seized Hrooks
by the arm at the same instant , and the
wounded map was borne to an adjoining
room , where ho' was cared lor by a
tastily summoned physician. ,
Ignorant , Not Uncourtcoiis.
Labouchero , speaking of the American
exhibition , says : "I was much amused
at an incident that occurred when wo
were all > scated round the arena. Mr.
Levy played 'The Star Spangled Banner *
magnificently on a cornet , and , nutimilly
enough , the Americans in his audience
stood up and uncovered. The Englith
on all sides , not rocogni/.Ing that this
was to them as 'God Save the Queen' is
to us , yelled 'Sit down I1 'Sit down ! '
which the strangeis did. Hut they must
have thought us a wretchedly uncourtc-
ous nation , all the samo. "
