“ The Christus.”
OF THE PASSION PLAY OF OBERAMMERGAU.
BY JULIA‘C. R. DORU.
How does life seem to thee? I long to look
Into thy inmost soul, and see if thou
Art even as other men! 0, set apart
And consecrate so long to purpose high,
Canst thou take up again our common lot,
And live as we live ? Canst thou buy and sell,
Stoop to small needs, and petty ministries,
Work and get gain, and cat, and drink, and
sleep,
Sin and repent, as thescnthy brethren do?
Unto what name less sacred answereth thou
Who hast been called theChrist of Nazareth it
Thou who hast worn the awful crown of
thorns, .
Hanging like Him upon the dreadful tree,
Canst Thou, encrowned, forget Thy royalty i’

A Turning Iceberg.
BY PAUL HOFFMAN, M. D.
In 1864 I was serving as surgeon and
meteorologist on anexpedition to the frozen
North, sent out to recover the remains of
the Franklin expedition, which had been
lostf‘to a man, as well as to investigate the
cause and course of the Polar current. I
will never forget" an incident of berg-turning
which came under my notice during that
voyage. I have since seen the icebergs of
the Antarctic ocean ofi' Cape Horn, and
the giants of Behring Straits, but never
has it been my lot to witness another
equally grand, yet perilous sight. It was a
Sunday morning, a fine breeze was blowing,
and but for the dense fog wcmight have
made excellent progress North, as the ice
was open and gave us a litiropportunity to
reach the North water. But fogs in Bnflln‘s
Bay are fogs. It was so thick that we
could not see a. ship’s length; one could
fairly cut the fog with a knife into bricks,
dry them, and build houses of them, louse
abroad allegory. We knew that icebergs
were about in numbers, as the tuhe thun-
derlike crashing all about us plainly indi-
cated; but opportunities like thebne we
had do not present‘themselves every day,
and as we‘had been “beset" for nearly
three weeks, unable to, stir an inch, and had
only escaped from. our involuntary impris-
onment the‘same, mOrniug, we made use of
the breeze inspite cf "thedanger into which
wg will?! .-_l‘ltniiing by do'iug730.' Although
our ship carried a complément of nearly a
hundred hands, we had 'no chaplain on
board, and the t‘ :‘y of reading a sermon
and Offering a pm, er every Sunday. fore-
noon devolved up, .r me.
The ’tween deli-:5 were our chapel. The
pulpit was rigged by‘covering the capstan
withthe Union Jack, and by placing a plank
before it so as to raise me a little above
those I was addressing. The morning I
speak of we were assembled as usual. The
first lieutenant was in charge of the deck,
conning the ship, and with the exception of
the few hands who . were on deck with him
to handle the ship, all were in the ’tween—
decks listening to what I had to say to
them. The last strains of the good old
hymn, “From Greenland’s icy mountains
to India’s coral strant ,”—our favorite—had
just died away when we heard a furious
shouting on deck, “Let go the weather
braces, haul in the lee ones! Hard apart—
I looked up at the berg and there-beheld
a sight indescribably, feat-fully -- grand,
enough to freeze one’s very life blood. The
memory of that spectacle will haunt me as
long as life remains, and my nightmares of-
ten assume its shape.
Some unaccoutable cause had disturbed
the giant—it was vibrating. More and
mo. it rocked, stonger and stronger became
its motions; to and-fro it swayed,.gaining
strength and rapidity with every moment.
Now it oscillates at an angle of tWenty
degrees, more and more, still more, and
now l——-—oh, Heaven, be merciful i-—i,t is
toppling—and, crashing and thundering,
crushing and howling, splitting and rend-
ing, the colossus turns over. We are just
out of reach of the larger pieces which are
.falling down, but the sea, the sea may
swamp usi “Put on the hatches, boys!
quick;on with them, quick, ere he wave

threatening to engulf her. Shellieels over
—-will she capsize—will she be swamped?
No, she rights again. The hatches are on
in time, and the wave, after sweeping her
decks, lrnrmlessly rolls along. We are safe,
and escape with another lesson of our own
nothiugness and the vastness, the immensity
of the powers of rrnlurr.
We had an extra prayer that morning,
and “ Greenland’s icy mountains" was sung
over again with more fervor than it has
ever been sung before or after. '

A wife wanted her husband to sympathize
with her in a feminine quarrel, but he re-
fus‘edsaying, “I have lived long enough to

exasperated Wife, “have lived long enough
to learn that one man is just as bad as an-

Poor ex—Comptrollcr Connolly, ‘Tweed’s
Tammany confederate, is living in retire-
ment at alittle out-of-the-way two in the
interior of Ireland, on the interest of a mis-
erable pittance of $3,000,000, obtained in
New York by assidous industry, the results
of which sent him abroad in_search of a
more salubrious climate.
It is told of a young gentleman whom a
maiden liked, but her father didn’t, that at a
reasonable hour the old gentleman mildly
intimated that the time for retiring had ar-
rived. “I think you are correct, my dear,”
answered nineteenth century, modestly;
“we have waited for over an hour for you to
put yourselfin your little bed.” The father
retired thoughtfully.
At the batting mills in Easton, Mass, the
other day it was found impossible to obtain
the usual rate of speed from the Plymouth

was surprised to find it filled with eels, and

no less than seventy-five eels were found,
port your helm—hard up with it! Star—

boys, lively, lively I” The next moment we
' heard the boatswain’s shrill whistle piping
all hands on deck for danger.
We all rushed on deck to see the cause,
and there beheld a spectacle calculated to
make the blood of the most courageous
run cold.
We found ourselves close alongside of a
monstrous iceberg, even within the “chill".
which generally hangs around them for
thirty yards or so. High up it loomed, los-
ing itself in the fog above, and deep, deep
down we could see it, almost directly be-
neath us, with its beautiful smaragd and
emerald caves and caverns. The water, by
contrast, was a purply black, almost, and
was rising and falling in calm majestic
heavings against the water-line of the berg.
Here were the most symmetrical beauties
of ancient architecture as well as the most
phantasmagoric and fanciful of shapes.
Gothic arches and Corinthian pillars; cas-
tcllated turrets and the massive masonry of
a fortress. Here a projecting buttress, and
there an arched recess, breaks the smooth,
alabaster like surface; here the spire of a
cathedral rears its matchless ferm into the
fog above ; yonder the towering dome of a
mosque gracefully covers a splendid row of
Ionian pillars. The graceful minaret, the
heavy, square outlines of the pyramid; obe-
lisks, arches, galleries, balconies, all are
there, hundreds of feet above, in curious in-
termixture, threatening every moment to
topple down and to draw us into the inky
abyss below, to initiate us into the mysteries
there. What a grand, yet fearful sight!
What hallowed thoughts crowd upon the
spectator! Admire, weak mortal, and
tremble. The ship is immediately hauled
ori ' - "ciwind, and for fully a mile gently
glided stung the edge of the berg, near-
enoughhsometimes, to enable one to toss a
biscuit to it. The eyes of all on board are
turned up'high, high into the impenetrable
mistfwhichmakes the colossus loom even
larger'than it in reality is, to see if it moves
and determine if it is going to tumble over
and drag us down, down in to untimely
graves' far beneath that.treacherous surface
ofpolished marble, never to be given up
again until the day when the great tsumpet
shall sound and the earth and the sea shall
give up their dead.
The wind has died away in the close
proximity of the berg; the ship scarcely
moves through the water, her sails lazily
flap against the mast, and the sound pro-
duced thereby is re-eehoed a hundredfold in
the crevices and caverns of our fearful
neighbor.
Many a fervent prayer is offered up to
Him, in whore handshrelhe earth and the
sea and all who are therein ;- many a loving
farewell is mentallyseut to those whom we
have-left behind at home, and to whom our
ligarts yearn in :love and friendship, and
again, in all probability, we shall never,
, eagarn.

I was standing beside the quartermaster
and the first lieutenant had mounted into
the quarterboat, better_to be able to overloo
theship. ‘-
“ Doctor,” he said, that was near enough
eternity to get a foretaste of it, and nearer
than I ever want to—great God !—”
Astonished at this unexpected exclama-
tion, I looked upat him and snw him stare
at the berg, his face the most perfect picture
of horror. His muscles were relaxed, the
lower jaw had fallen, the eyes protruded
from the sockets, the lips moved, but pro-.
duced no sound. He had sank from his stand-
tlug posture back upon one of the thwarts
of the boat, holding himself by the mizzen-
rigging, and I, thinking that he was ill,
jumped into the boat to help him, but he
waved me back, slowly lifted his hand and
pointed up, shimmering, “ Look—turning!

According to a Chicago paper, there is a
project fora railroad between Boston and
Washington, which is to start out of thé‘"
Boston and Maine railroad depot and pro-
ceed by a shortcut across the country,
striking the Hudson river tit Spuyten

the present break of connection in New

The New London Telegram says: “A gov-
ernment ofiiceholder residing in this vicinity

of it: . Yesterday he received through the
post-office a billet done: conveying the intelli-
gence that his pew rent, in a certain church
which it is unnecessary to name, was‘due.
He immediately cut off the coupons from
some Midland bonds and sent them to the
treasurer of the society in liquidation of his
little bill.- But they were repudiated,not-
withstanding be paid par and interest for

that the institution couldn’t be run on Mid-

The Tower of Babel was a pigmy to
what a company of enterprising Philadel-
phia bridge builders propose to construct
asatoy to grace the approaching centen-
nial exhibition in that city. It is to be of
wrought iron,1,000 feet in height, and be-
side it such structures as the dome of St.
Peter’s, the pyramids onggypt and Bunker
Hill monument would be dwarfed into
insignificance. The tower is to be circular
in section, 150 feet in diameter at the base,
diminishing to thirty feet at the top. It is
proposed to have spiral staircases winding
around the center tube for those , preferring
to walk up; but elevators will be provided,
which are calculated to ascend to the top in
three minutes. The. Serentr c Ameman
says this is one of the greatest engineering
projects of the age, and it is in the hands of
constructors capable of completing what-
ever they undertake.

A COMMITTEE Room vnnsus run From.
—A score of years ago and less, it was
enough for a. man to declaim his glowing
tribute .to his country; after that he sat
down satisfied. His ambition seldom went.
beyond this, and ire would work weeks and
months on a speech to perfect it to the
standard of his time. Doing this once or
twice a year, he thought he was fulfilling all
his obligations to his constituency. To talk
eloquently was the chief business, all had
the time to listen. Some of the contents
which agitated the soul of the old orator,
appear to us like tempests in a teapot in
these latter days,so full of big events. Now,
the man who occupies his place does his
earnest talking with his colleagues in the
committee room. He who speaks in the
old way is regarded as superannuatcd or
weak in mind. Now, men are expected to
make their points quickly and in a business-
like way. The business which was former-
ly conducted on the floor of the chamber, is
rapidly passing into the committee room,
and the tendency to strangle debate is grow-
ing stronger every session. The raw mem-
ber, living in the old traditions. who wishes
to “save the country” in a speech modeled
after Clay or Webster, is unmereifully
knocked down with the gavel, or is sure of
a hard fall or two at the hands of experi-
enced athletics who devote temselves to
“100m” up new men and bringing them
under drseipline. The utilitarian has killed
the orator, and the glory of grand senten-
ces has departed.—Scrrlmor’sfor January.
ImrA'rroN or MAnnLn.—Imitations of
marble are In great demand for ornament,
and many drflerent compounds are used for
the purpose. Mr. Pichler, a gilder in
Vienna, from hrs own experience, recom-
mends the following composition as being
simple and satisfactory :—Into one pound
of best jomer’s glue, boiled rather thick,
half a pound of rosin (colophonium) is to be
slowly stirred. (Instead of rosin the same
quantity of Venetian turpentine may be“
used.) Into this plastic mass is worked a
mixture of powdered chalk and of any min-
eral color of the desired shade, and after
the addition of a little olive oil it is ready
for moulding. It is sometimes convenient
to have the material in the shape of thin
sheets to be cut as required, and in this case
the mass is to be rolled out upon a slight]
heated plate. Mr. Pichler asserts that this
composition hardens rapidly and can be
easily polished. When kept fora length
of time it should be wrapped inamoist
sheet, and exposed to a gentle heat before
using. The variegated marble-like veins
can also be produced by kneading together
differently colored portions of this mass.

In Sixtietl. street, between Fourth and
Madison avenues, there is a row of four-
story, brown-stone dwellings, of which No.
24 is the most magnificent and costly in its
fittings. It was occupied by Mr. Jacob Sti-

Stiner was 67.1-years of age, a native of Ba~
varia, but an' old resident of New York.
The other members of his family who lived'
with him at home were Silima, his wife,
aged 55, Deborah Stiner, their daughter,
aged 21, her sister, Flore. Stiner, aged 17,
and one son, Joseph Stiner, aged 20 years,
two maid servants, Mary Maguire and Marv
Kahn ; and a man servant named Alfred F.
Schultz. Mr_Stiner's bedroom was in the
rear of the second floor. Mrs. Stiner and
her daughter Deborah slept'in the adjoining
front room; Flara Stiner and her brother’s
apartments were on the floor above, and the
.domestics’ beds were on the upper floor of
the house. '
On Monday night all the family except
Mrs. Stiner went to an evening party, Mrs.
Stiner remaining at home,being a very cor-
pulent women, it having been confined to
.lierptcazeom for so "s time, suffering from a
dropsical complaint. It was ver late before
the father and children returne home, and
retired to their rooms for the night, little
thinking of , the terrible fate which was
to destroy three of their numbre before an~
other day dawned. Shortly before 6 o’clock
yesterday morning a watchman named Fitz-
rald, a fire insurance patrolman named H.
. Hardy, and the keeper of a liquor store
at“ the corner of Fourth avenue and Fifty-
ni th street, saw flames and smoke pouring
forth from the second floor windows, front
and rear, oer. Stiner’s house.
Fitzgerald and the insurance patrolman
gave an alarm at the fire-alarm box, and
ran to the house and made an ineffectual
endeavor to get in. In the meantime,
young Joseph Stiner and his sister, Flora,
were aroused by the roar ofthe flames, and
birth hurriedly dressed, and managed to
make their way down stairs, Miss Flora .
going into her father’s room, and her
brothers running the gauntlet of the flames
until he reached the street. The nei hbors
h‘ad b' this timebeen aroused. Mr. anuel.
T. Ba mer, and his son, Manuel De Forest,
living in the adjoining house, No. 26, were
among those who saw the necessity of im-
mediately rescuing any one who remained
in the burning house. The young gentle-
man climbed ovcr upon a bay window in
the back parlor of the Stiner house, the top
of which reached nearly to the windows of
the second floor. By standin upon this
roof he was enabled to lift lora Stiner
from her perilous position amid the flame
through the window, and carry her to his
own house, to a place of safety. Mary
Kuhn and the man-servant ran to the scuttle
when they were awakened, near] sufi‘ocat-
ed by the flames and smoke, and, creeping
upon the roof succeeded in making their
escape through the scuttle of one of the
other houses in the row. Mr. Stiner, it is
evident, was not aroused by the fire until
he was nearly suffocated and blinded, and
he appears to have become confused and
lost his resence of mind. After his
daughter lora had been rescued, he got
out upon the roof of the ba window and
tried to jump into the yar of the next
house. This was a rash attempt, as the
yards of these houses are several feet below
the street level, making the height of Mr.
Stiner’s room three stories above the ground.
He struck on his head against the fence
between the two inclosures. His skull was
terribly fractured. and he must have died
instantly.
A few moments afterward Mary Maguiro,
the remaining servant, jumped from an up-
per window to the roof of the bay window,
and then insanely made the same terrible
leap which had caused her employer’s death.
She fell near him and fractured both thighs.
It was then discovered that Mrs. Stiner and
Miss Deborah were missing, but Joseph,
the son, and the neighbors, hoped they had
escaped and taken refuge somewhere; and
it was not until the fire had been put out
an hour afterward that their sad fate was
ascertained. Then the members of the fire
department searched the ruined house, and
in what had been the room of Mrs. Stiner,
their eyes beheld a terrible spectacle.
Perched amid the still smoking ruins sat
a beautiful parrot, saved from the flames
by some sin ular accident, which filled the
an- with shri l laughter as if in mockery of
the terrible fate of its owners. On the bed
lay the mulitated and almost unrecogniza-
ble body oflrs. Stiner, burned to a. crlsp
and partially consumed. In a chair besrde
the bed, ri id and black, were the charred
remaiuso her daugter Deborah. She had
been urged by her sister Flora to flee from
the house with her, again and again, but
“No,” she had firmly and calmly said,
“not until mother can be saved,” and she
would not move. from her mother’s side.
She had heroically remained in the 'room,
and there she was found dead beside the
body of her mother, having suffered all the
horrors of a death by fire from her steadfast
affection. . I

Ah well well! it may be so,
And still—
It seems but yesterday,
That morning long ago i
I almost see the cottage yet,
The winding path—and Margaret.
Dew-pearls strung close on cobweb threads,
Gleamed in the door-yard grass,
And from the prim-lined garden-beds
Smiled up to see us pass.
Sweet, old-time blo‘ssoms, greeting thus
A fairer flower, unenvious.
We rested in the arbor shade,
While through the open door
Stole bashful sunbeams, haltiafraid,
And played upon the floor:
Or, bolder grown, with brightness fleet,
Touched her soft hair and forehead sweet.
A light,winged breeze sailed gently by;
The lark’s clear note afar
Through the’blue spaces of the sky
Slid like a falling star ;—

Ah! if I told her, would she care 2
Within a scarlet hollyhock

Deep. lunging, made the blossom rock,—
Sh ashed a smile atme ;
And with a motion swift and light,
She caught the silken petals tight.
Loud bummed the bee with angry wing,—
“ery thus so ill content?
The sweets you sought, poor foolish thing,”
She said, “are all unspent 1”
My heart leaped up to hear her speak,
A sudden courage dyed my cheek.
“Darling i” I cried, "0 let him fly l
And take me in his place!
Fast prisoned in your heart, could I
Ask any sweeter grace i‘
I could not struggle to be free,
So dear a jailer holds the key 1"
Her cheek flushed like an opening rose,
No word her lips did say—
I saw her little hand unclose,
The glad bee flew away.
Ah me i ’twas forty years ago—
My hair is gray—yet thisI know:
I've roamed through many garden bower-s,
And blooming fields since then—-
In summer wild-wood gathered flowers,
And in the mountain glen .
Pulled harebells from the moss-grown rock
Yet most I love the hollyhoek!

"‘ SMALL Dears.”-—_To the excellent ad-
vice given by the Journal in regard to the .
payment ofsmall debts, might be added a
word as to the manner of paying them.
The pleasure of doing business with our
friends is very much enhanced or lessened
by the spirit in which these settlements are
made. It has been the writer’s observation
and experience, and it is undoubtedly that
of many others, that applications for'lgoods,
or for work to be done, or for services of
any kind to be performed, are invariably
made with a smiling face. and‘a' cheerful
heart. You: custpmg.,c9mes§into¢youg

good morning, shakes hands , with you,
takes a chair, says the weather is fine, (it
may not he,), inquires aftéif'ithe healthlgof
your family, and finally compliments yOu’
with an order. So much sauvity'and bland-
ness find the way to your heart, and you
are only too glad to enroll their possessors’
name upon your ledger. This is natural;
it is human nature in its best phase, and
begets a kindly response on the part of the
trader, th perofessional man and those who
work for hire. But when those “little
bills" are presented for payment? Would
yoq, believe that that cold and indifferent
“can’t pay it 10-day” came from the same
person who received your favors with so
much sunshine ? Indeed, it is the same,and
there are thousands just'like him who af-
fect a manner as if you were asking for
something that did not belong to yOu. He
flippantly puts you off from time to ti@,
and when at last his whim or his conven-
ience suits him, you are told with an ins0<
lent air that you may receipt the bill, and
you come away with a sense of mortiflca;
tion, and afeeling of positive relief that

threaded hy' walks and adorned with con-
servatories and hot houses full of rare ex-
otics. A force of 100 gardeners is needed
to keep the place in order. Shaw, it is said,
spends his entire income from hismillions
keeping it up. He began the thing after
the war, and for several years he has opened
it to the public. Hundreds of thousands of
visitors resort to it. It is the chief attrac-
tion and curiosity for the‘ stranger in St.
Louis to visit. And, strange to say, no po-
lice guard it, and no flowers are pilfered.
This is the public reverence to the man’s
generous enterprise. In a splendid house
at the head of the garden there is an elc ant
picture of Shaw, representing him stan ing
among his flowers. Two elegant portraits"
of beautiful ladies, in the arb ofa past
day, represent some of his email; progeni-
tors. A huge book is kept there for visitors
to record their names in. A curious fea-
ture of the garden is beds devoted to one
flower. For instance, there is a‘la‘rge bed
with every variety of cactus; another with
hundreds of verbonas, and so on. Every-
thing is in a prodigal of profusion. Shaw
is near his grave. He has, in pursuance of
his ambition, willed his gardens to the city,
on condition that the city binds itself to
keep them up. The cityhas eagerly accept-
ed the bequest, and thus, through private
- liberality, gets, without cost, a public gar-
den not surpassed in the world for magnifi-
cence and beauty. The garden will forever
be dubbed “ Shaw’s Garden,” and he thus
travels on to immortality on the successful
realization of his stupendous and most
beautiful crotchet.
At nearly all the fashionable clubs in New
York a group of juvenilesis employed as
messengers. They are unifOrmed as in Eng-

A Green Bay woman, whose husband
kicks her down stairs every second night,
says she likes to look over his old letters
commeneirr with: “My dearest, darlinglit-

A Missouri girl on her wedding day sold
her piano and bought a sewing machine
and material enough for a suit for her hus-
band and herself, and at once set to work

ROAs'rrNo Panic—The roast pork we had
for dinner was excellent, served as it was to
day. I call it mock goose. A small incis-
ion was made in the meat and stuffed witha
little chopped onion, seasoned withflsa e,
pepper and salt. Pork should alwaysy e
thoroughly cooked. The fat should be re-
moved trorn the brown gravy, a little water
added, but no flour,'borled, and sent to ta~
his in a gravy dish. Apple sauce made in a
crock in the oven, onion sauce, and fresh
polled potatoes are the§necessary accompan-
ments.
The salary Question.
Pending the discussion on the Salary Bill,
Mr. Ferry addressed the Senate, briefly as
follows :-— '
Mr. President—I wish to say a very few
werds regarding this bill, and perhaps re-
garding the amendment, and I shall speak
of them both together.
I think that the present salary or com-
pensation of Senators and Representatives
made. In exercising our constitutional
function of ascertaining by law the amount
of compensation, we are not to consider our
own interests, but simply the public inter-
,_e_st, just as in legislating upon anything else:
. - , judo-mant:;itL.‘£he..pcctlDail0n.,Of
politics, as well as in every other occupa-
tion, higher compensation will command
higher average capacity and ability; and
upon that ground, solely as a matter of pub-
lic interest, it is my opinion that a salary of
$7,500iswiscr than one of $5,000. That
being so, I shall, of course, vote against the
amendment of the Senator from Indiana,
the amendment of our own committee, and
the'House bill.
Here I might stop, but I feel compelled
to notice a portion of the reasoning which
has been urged by different Senators in be-
half of the bill and of the amendment.
Half a dozen Senators have said that they
believe just as I do; that the present salary
is the wiser of the two, the better for the
public interest, and yet that they intend to
vote to change it to one which they think
worse for the public interest; and why?
The people, they say demand it. I might
say that I doubt the fact;but if the fact
were so, is that a good reason for a Senator
to vote confessedly on the wrong side?
I cOnfess,.sir, thatI have been alittle
shocked at Some language which I have
heard here. This is indeed a Government
of the peeple, for in the preamble to the
constitution we find it is the people of the
United States who ordained and established
that instrument, and this Government is the
product of the Constitution. Be; it is not
agovernment by the peoplefit; ease-Aria!
function is the law-making power; and by
that same Constitution, on its very forefront
the law-making power,“all le islative pow-
er,” “shall be vested,”where ? n the people?
Is that our Government? Not at all sir.
The law-making power in this Government
of ours, is“vested in a Congress of the Unit-
ed States, which shall consist of .r Senate
and House of Representatives.” ' tested”
law-making power resides.
ment of ours, thank God and the wisdom of
our fathers, is not the government. of a mob
blown about by every wind; it is a govern-
ment of law, and the people throu h the
highest exponent of their will the oneti-
tution, have said that we, the Congress of
the United States, shall possess all law-ma-
king power; and when we make that law
the people must obey.
Sir, I am sick of this talk about Congress
being "ne servants of the people and the
peo,.e being our masters. In no constitu-
tional sense is this true; and when the day
shall come that it shall be literally true, let
us look for the government of the Septem-
ber days of the old French revolution, in-
stead of the wise institutions that our fath-
ers gave us.
And now, sir, because as a legislator it is
my duty to vote upon every matter of legis-
lation according as I 11% be for, the
true interest of this people, vote ' rigftinst
~the, bill and all amendments. But there have
been some things said about these amend-
ments also w hich seem to me to demand . a
word or two comment. Senators have said
that ever since the 4th ofMarch last we have
been wronging the people in“ accepting the
compensation provided for us by law. Sir,
when I believe that of myself I will resign
my seat and go home. Do these gentlemen
who believe that the people have demanded
a repeal of the retroactive features of the
act of last spring also believe that the peo«
pic want. American Senators to come like
whipped bounds to lick their master’s feet
admitting that they have been swindling
their constituency for ten months of the cur-
rent year? I do not believe it, sir They
may do so in the Northwest; but if they do,
New England fathers. No, sir; the people
want to be represented by Senators and Rep-
resenttalives who will ask not whether they
will be popular, but whether they are doing
right.
