LAMAR'S LASH.
HOW THE EARNEST SOUTHERNER
FLOORED ZACH CHANDLER.
The death of Justice Lamar has re
called his well known devotion to the
Confederacy, and his love for the leader
f the lost cause was productive of one of
the most dramatio scenes in the history
of the Senate. The Mexican Pension
bill was under consideration and an
amendment pended extending its provis
ions to all veterans irrespective of their
course in the war between the States. It
was near adoption. Cougress, it was said,
could now best show its desire to forgive
and forget by extending the benefits of
the measure to those who had once
borne arms against the common country.
The amendment was near adoption when
Senator Zach Chandler came, to his feet
with a short speech in which he said that
while in the main he agreed to the gener
al tenor of the amendment, yet under the
provisions even Jeff Davis would be re
stored to citizenship. "And," he added,
"I am not prepared to go so far as that."
Lamar rose. II is intense excitement
was evident. Between him and Chan
dler a strong personal antagonism existed
An outburst was expected, and it came,
"Mr. President," said the MissisBippian,
with outstretched finger pointing at his
foeman, his tall form trembling with
emotion, but his voice bell-like in its
clearness and without a quiver in it,
"when Prometheus lay bound to the
rock it was not the king of beasts who
availed himself of his distress. It was
not any other of the nobler brutes of the
field or birds of the air. It was the
vulture, the scavenger of the animal
kingdom gluttoning upon carrion, whioh
preyed upon his vitals, knowing that in a
defenceless man, who could move neither
hand nor foot, he had one into whose
vitals he could dig his beak."
He sat down amid a stillness so pro
found that the rustle of a paper sounded
harshly. Chandler was deadly pale.
Drops of perspiration stood upon his
forehead and he clinched the arms of bis
chair until the strained wood creaked. It
was expected that hu would reply. Twice
he half rose then sank back. He did
not reply.
HIS DRUNKEST DRUNK.
TIM CAMPBELL 8 EXPERIENCE WITH
MEXICAN DEVIL WATER.
"Ever get drunk on water?" asked
Tim Campbell, as he stood in the St.
James annex and watched the barkeeper
mix a cock tail of extra vitality. "You
never did ? Well, there's where I have
the advantage of you. The drunkest
drunk I ever experienced was the result of
drinking water. I was skylarking around
down among the Sierra Msidre Mountains,
looking for a long lost Spanish mine, and
making an all around fool of myself for
the behoof of half a dozen Mexican
mozos, when I discovered a little spring
bubbling out of the side of a mountain.
"The rivulet was no thicker than your
little finger, but was icy cold. I started
to fill my cup, but one of the Mexicans
cautioned me not to drink it. Ho said it
was "devil water," and would make my
head swim and cause my legs to grow
weak. I questioned him closely and
learned that the effects produced by the
water were very similar to those resulting
from the absorption of too much bourbon.
He said that the Indians drank it for
kidney troubles. I thought if it did no
worse than make me drunk I would
tackle it, and I did. It tasted like a very
poor quality of gin diluted with soapsuds,
but was so cold that, heated as I was, I
could not let it alone.
"I suppose that I must have drank
nearly a pint of the stuff during the hour
that we lingered in the vicinity. I soon
began to feel the effectB of it. First I
required one mozo to hold me on my
burro, then two found it a difficult job.
We went into camp, and I pledge you
my word that for two days and nights I
was the drunkest man on the North
American continent. No, sir, I didn't
take anything on the side. Fill 'em up
again please. No water, thank you. I'm
a temperance man. Bye is plenty strong
enough for me." St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ANDREW JACKSON.
Like Washington, Jefferson and Mad
ison, Jackson left the White House to
become a planter for the rest of his days.
The Hermitage, his estate a few miles
from Naahville, Tenn,was productive
plantation, cultivated by 150 slaves, who
seem to have idolized their master. The
The broken man of seventy was very
different from the self willed military
officer who had entered the White Home
eight years before. But in spite of his
falling strength, Jackson was destined ti
enjoy several happy years. In his old
age he became intensely religious, and
declared that he had forgiven all his
enemies. He died quietly on June 8,
1845, and was buried at the Hermitage,
on the Cumberland River.

"I had a strange experience in Cin
cinnati last week," said A. A. Martin to
a St. Louis Globe-Democrat man.
"I got into the town late one night
and found all the hotels full. I had been
in that condition for a couple of days
myself and I wanted a bed, and I wanted
it bad. I went prowling around the
city looking for lodgings, but without
success. Finally the keeper of a combi
nation saloon and boarding house told me
he had a vacant bed, but it was in a
double room. The other bed was occu
pied. Would I take that ?
" Well,' said I, "I'll not trouble my
room mate if I'm let alone.'
" 'Oh, you'll not have auy trouble on
that score,' said the laudlord, and he
grinned like a North Carolina 'possum.
"He showed me to the room and gave
me a piece of candle about an inch long.
My room mate was evidently sound
asleep. He was covered only by a sheet,
which was drawn up over his face.
"The night was pretty sharp, and I
said to myself: 'That lunatic will freeze
before morning.' A heavy quilt lay
across the foot of his bed, and I suggest
ed to him the propriety of making use of
it. He did not answer, and I spoke a
little louder Still no reply.
I supposed the fellow had gone to bed
with a jag on aod decided to play good
angel for his benefit. I took up the
quilt and covered him nicely, but in do
ing so inadvertently dragged the sheet off
his face. The fellow was dead and had
evidently been so for some hours. The
landlord was right my room mate would
not interfere with me.
"I went downstairs to make a gilt
edge kick, but the landlord had shut up
shop and gone to bed. I didn't know
where to find him, and as I didn't fancy
sitting up all night I decided to return to
my room and retire.
"As I opened the door the. candle
sputtered itself out, and there I was in a
strange room at midnight in utter dark
nos and in company with a dead man . to
whom I had never beon introduced
"I piled into bed without wailing to

keys and was sobering up on seltzer and
was as nervous as a country girl about to
commit matrimony.
"While I ly there imagining unut
terable things there came a sudden crash
I started up in bed, and what was my
horror to see that corpse lying on the
floor. . The glimmer of a street lamp
came through the erimy glass aud shone

room was inky blackness.
"That settled me. I screamed like i

over the corpse, and clubbed it a fi.w

the bed on which it had been was broken
down. I had enough rest for one night.
I dressed, went down to the hotel, hugg

BUTLER AND THE SPOONS.
One of the best stories told about
Ben Butler was about his experience,
while the democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Massachusetts. At one of his
meetings, while he was speaking, a fellow
cried out in a loud voice: "General
Butler, tell us something about those
spoons you stole in New Orleans I" The
general replied by saying he would te'l
him all about it when he got through,
and went on with his speech. When he
ceased speaking and was gathering up his
notes and papers preparatory to leaving
the stand without making the explana
tion asked for, the same peremptory tone
demanded an explanation as to those
"stolen spoons." "Ah, yes," responded
the general. "The matter had escaped
my memory." Then in his most persua
sive tones he innocently inquired : "Are
you a Republican, my friend?" "Iam,"
rejoined the other, "aod I am proud of
it." "So was I," Bharply retorted the
general, "when I stole those spoons,"
and turning about he left the stand amid
such a storm of laughter and applause as
was never heard before in that hall.
UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.
THE HISTORIC RELIC WILL BE EXHIB
ITED AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.
. It is proposed to bring to Chicago for
exhibition at the World's Fair the log
cabin which is believed to have been the
home of Uncle Tom, one of the charac
ters in Mrs. Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cab
in." It is not a matter of certainty that
the log; hut is the identical cabin of Un
cle Tom, but many who have examined
iuto its history claimed to have been the
abode of the now historic Uncle Turn.
The cabin stands in the midst of a cottou
field in it plntution un the Red River,
in Louisiana. It is 1 til 18 feet, nine lo)js
hieh. with a pitch root'. 'I hi whole
