The Curious Agreement Between a Thirs ty: Toung Man and Hi a Bich Wife. One of the familiar figures in a certain up-town hotel is a tall, well propprtioned young man. who night ly goes out on a jammboree, and who as regularly as the clock turns up again , at the hotel 'at eleven o'clock every night, says the fNew iVork Evening Sun. The other night lie came -in ten minutes earlier than his regular hour. He walked into the j:orridor, which at that honr was Drettv well crowded. Then as he started, a little unsteadily, toward the afe the crowd fell in behind and followed him like so many sheep. Not I a word" was spoken. I The cafe 'reached, everybody lined up against : the ! bar. The young man put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a big handful of quarters, dimes and nickels. Then he took out several $1 bills' from his waistcoat pocket put the whole lot on the bar, bowed to the; "Bartend" and walked out of the room. II ' The gentleman behind fthe bar counted the change and then pro claimed, "There's , just $6 76 here, He didn't spend much to-night.3 Let's see. I There's just six drinks apiece. What'll it be, gents?' "Why and wherefore is this thus?" queried the greenhorn of, the party after the sixth drink had; been con cealed by everybody. I j "That, .sir, is Mr. Blank,1 who mar ! ried; rich. He hasn't a cent of his : own and he lives with his wife here .in fine style. He would spend: every cent of her fortune in a week if she would let him, and she knows it. So ushe I allows him $15 a day for pin money. Every night when he comes i in she oes through his oookets. If he has any money left in his pockets the next morning she only gives hirrr enough to make up theislo. He thinks that a pretty mean trick, so every night he comes in! here and empties his pockets to j. treat the crowd. Next morning he gathers an other $15 to carry him through the day." LIFE CUT SHORT.

SENATE, j j WASHiNGTONApril 10.--The Mon tana Election case was again taicen up, and Mr. Call addressed the .Senatein op position to the report of th6 majority of the committee, declaring the 'two Re publican claimants, Messrs. Saunders and Power, entitled, upon ;the merits of the case,, to seats in the Senate from Montana. He held it to be the duty of every Senator 'to express his opinion in the matter, and to give to; the Senate and the country the reasons lor that opinion and judgment. 1 j I ': i ' He deciarea mat me; country was verging upon a condition of things un der which men were to hold seats in the Senate in defiance of public; will and ol the obligations of the constitution. It was fast appproaching a time when po litical power was to De tne ena 01 au action and not the conservatism of the government, and of its various depart ments. In his opinion the action of the Senate in this case, in disregarding the clear and unquestionable j laws ,of the State of Montana, 'and the principles of law as declared by the, Supreme Court of the United States, was one of the largest strides in that direction, Mr. Hoar said that he j would like to Diitinto the debate one or! two consid erations which had not been dilated upon. Before he got any further with his remarks. Mr. Moreah jcalled atten tion to the fact that there was no quo rum present, land said, that he would like very much to have a quorum pres sent, especially on the Republican side, to' hear the i Senator from Massachu setts. . - - i " -1 The President pro ien directed the roll to be called, and (Senators having poured into the chamber While the call was progressing) fifty-eight Senators an swered to their names, f i Mr. Blair, in presenting a memorial in favor of his educational bill, remarked that while ! that bill was kinder discus sion it had never been necessary to have a call of the Senate in order to obtain anjaudience. daughter. Mr. Hoar resumed his remarks on the Montana election case. He alluded to some of the Democratic jspeakers hav ing spoken 01 me Lransai-iiiuii aa a yici-t of villainy, and he thought it worth while to recall to the Senate what were the simple points -m the case. A ma jority of the Committee on Privileges and Elections had thought that it was clear, indisputable, almost impregnable on the evidence, that the qualified voters of Silver Bow ceunty had by a lair ma jority elected five Republican represen tatives in the Legislature whose election or non-electioii turned the scale in the whole transaction. That was 1 a matter of fact. Coming down to the rejection ofl votes cast at Precinat No. 34, Mr. Hoar said that no one had the least idea that any of those alien voters had taken jthe necessary oath to support the Constitution. He spoke of them as Armenians, Bohemians and Turks, who were working on a rail road line at that point on the morning of the election, and not j one ol whom was residine there now. And- these were the men, he said,1 whom the Sena tor "! from Delaware (Mr. Gray), had spoken of as being "disfranchised" by the action of the Board jof Canvassers. He ; submitted seriously to the Demo cratic Senators, and to so much of the Democratic press as had' any restraint by reason of regard for truth (and he had no doubt that thac press had as much regard for truth ' as the press of any i other partyj whether the position taken by the committee warranted the; use of such invectives as had been ap plied to it. . Mr. Gray disclaimed for himself and his Democratic colleagues the applica tion "of invectives to the! Senator from Massachusetts, or to any other Senator The invectives had been applied to what had J occurred in t Montana. Coming downl to the elimination of votes of precinct thirty-four, Mri Gray declared that the only objection Jon which Mr Hoar lustihed that elimination was an afterthought, and that uq such obiectiori naa Deen maae Deiore tne county can-? vassing board by the astiite lawyers who wanted to have these votes thrown out; The objections made then were: First; that the votes had nod been sent in a registered package by mail to the clerk ot county canvassers, but had been de livered to him in a sealed pack age by one of the judges; and. second, that the returns iwere signed by judges and attested to by clerks instead of being signed by clerks and attested by judges. The. Senator from Massaj chusetts did not consider either ot these objections valid, but brought lip an ob jection which had noti been made in Montana, and which was ' an after thought. ! " i. I . i I Mr. Gray replied to the objections made by Mr. Hoar, by the assertion that precinct J4 was not peculiar and alone in having votes of aliens cast, but that the same thing occurred all over the territory in that day's felection, and in all elections for years previously. He thought (in conclusion) that the poiit made by the minority had been estab lished; to wit: That there was not found in the hands of the five Republican Re presentatives! from silver Jtsow eounty (sitting in the Iron HalrjLegislature) the eertihcate ol any board or omcer au thorized by law to makje it; and that, 6n the contraryJ hve Dembcratic Represeh tatives from pat county (sitting in the Court House Legislature), sat there in coniormtty to tne return ol the County Doara, maae as airectea Dy law, and un aer the mandate ol a competent; coilrt oi justice, i ' , ! ivir. leiierj, anotner memDer ot the Committee on Privileges and Elections, in advocacy ot the (majority report, spoKe at consiaeraDie length. ; ineaeDate men Decame a running one between Messrs.

The question haviusr been nronoeed by Mr, Kenna,asto whether forty Seiia-r tors, with unquestioned credentials, (42 being a quorum), could1 go to work and organize and pass upon the credentials oi tne otner 42 whose title was ques tioned,; Mr. Hoar said that he would like to think over it before undertaking to answer it. That, Was precisely, Mr, Kenna said, the question that presented useu in tne Montana case, rartiai re sponses to the question were made by Messrs. noar, uawes, piair and Uolph; but Mr. Kenna said that none of them came straight to the point. Then, at 0,14 the Senate adjourned. I1 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, The House went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Butterworth in the Chair, on the Naval Appropriation bill.

Ruled out on a point of order. . Mr. Peters, of Kansas, moved to strike out the entire clause for. increase of the Nayy.

' SENATE. ' . . .. ;f .1 : ; Washington, April 11. After the morning routine business the considera tion of the Montanaelection case was resumed, and as j no Senator sought the floor the yeas and nays were ordered on thefirst resolution and the vote was about being taken when Mr. Evarts rose and suggested that if no Senator on the other side desired to speak he would make the losing argument is support of the com mittee s report. Mr. Morgan said that he did not care to address the Senate, but after hearing the versatile and "distinguished lawyer from New York he might teel himsen required to say something either in ap proval or disapproval, and so he did not wish himself to be understood as being embraced within any agreement that the Senator from New York should . now close the debate in the case. j Mr. Evarts said that there was always an understood right of any Senator to make any remarks before a vote was taken. ; ' ; Mr. Evarts said that the proposition on the Democratic side was that the Se nate was to be a canvassing board higher than a territorial canvassing board, while the proposition on the Republican side was that the senate naa nq sucn power of revision. The latter, he said, was the proposition of the constitution, of the safety of the Senate, and of the equality of the States. . Mr. Liray repneu urieuy iu some ui Mr. Evarts points, and thenMr. George took the floor. He said that the arguments jn the case were now con cluded, and that the point jiaa Deen reached when this "honorable court was required to render judgment. I As a' member of that court he desirld to state the reasons of the Vote that he would give.. In regard to Precinct No. 34, in Silver Bow county, he asserted mat un der the law all the votes cast there were legal votes, and that the county board of canvassers who threw out those; votes had committed ah iact of usurpation, and he asked whether any member of this "honorable court" was willing to get ud and sav that that!; act was authorized by law ? He .said hft would "pause for a reply. After a pause, mere is not one member of thisicourt, he said, who, in the face of the Arherican people, will get up and say on his responsibili ty that that canvassing board had the right to do what it did. I This was the first step in the iniquity. With out that step no other part of the iniqui ty could have been transacted. Coming to the Territorial Canvassing Board at Helena, Mr. George said he did not know the correct pronunciation of the name, but that, from the conduct of the Canvassing Board, i he supposed , the correct pronunciation was Hellena Board. He said these" three beautiful specimens ot political rascality "naa hastened to De infamous, and wouiu go down to history as having furnished an instance, not of jconcealed fraud, but of successful villainy, holding out the fruits Of its crime and boasting of it. Mr. Hoar gave notice that on Mon day he should ask the Senate to remain in session until the j Montana case was disposed of. He would, not call it up to-morrow, as there might be an im plied understanding that the Saturday sessions were to be s devoted to the cal endar. ;!. -i Mr. Hawley, from the select committee on the Uuadro-tentenniai eieDration reported back with amendments the House bill for the World s rair at Chi cago, and said that if anything was to be done irtj the matter,; it should be done at once. He thought it would not1 lead to any serious debate, and hoped to have it taken up and passed on Mon day.- I- I - ! After an executive sessiou the senate at 5.55 adjourned till to-morrow, j HOUSE OF i REPRESENTATIVES. 1 - : Mr. Lacy, of Iowa, called up the con tested election case ot vvaddul vs. Wise, from the third district of Vir ginia, when Mr. bnloe, ot lennessee, raised the question, ot consideration. 1 he House decided yeas 124, nays 113 -to consider the election case, and Mr. Lacy took the floorj with an argument in favor'of the claims of the contestant. Mr. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, supported the resolution of the minority of the Committee on Elections, which de clares the seat vacant. After reviewing the case in detail, he entered into a discussion of the face question, assert ing the superiority 6f the Caucassian race and criticizing the Republicans of the North for having done no political fa vors to the colored men. ? This was denied by Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, who stated that 'co'" ored men had frequently sat in the Mas sachusetts Legislature: and that thp last valedictorian of Harvard College had Deen a negro. ; j I Mr. Greenbalge, of Massachusetts, criticized the minority report of the committee for I having abandoned the sitting member after asserting in; their report mat neither he nor his mends had done anything wrong. If the ground taken in the report was correct, this be trayal of a brother Was the most shame ful case of desertion that had ever; dark ened the annals of the House. Heihen proceeded to argue in favor of the con testant. . !; I I ; I - ' Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, gave an able presentation of the case of the sitting member as viewed; from a legal stand point. ' : , -.. ' : . ... h. B. Taylor, of Ohio, said that the negro might be an inferior race now, but wait a thousand years and see. God's purpose unioided. But it they; were intellectually inferior, they were not inferior in their legal rights. As for the conditiou of affairs at the South, he asked the House and the American people if it could always be so and the country exist. ! He was loath to have a strong national law that would go into the States, and still hoped that there was a powefMn this country that would. bring about reform peaceably and or derly, He spoke in kindness, and in the' hope I that his words Would find lodgement , in -" some minds, The black man was not naturally the enemy of the white man. In 1862, when his master jlelt him at home to go forth and fight tjie army that he iknew was coming to free him, had he abused the confidence j reposed in him?

"If 'God is just, I tremble for my country, said he, quot ing Jefferson, and in conclusion he said, "In the name of God, ot my country, and of the Constitution, let it be under stood that the condition of things I shall be better from this on." The hour of 5;o'clock having arrived, the House took -a recess to 7,30 o clock, the evening session to be for considera tion ol the Private fension Dill.

He then made a long speech in favor of the payment ol South ern war claims. 1 ; . i Mr. Boothman, of Ohio, followed with an exhaustive speech in reference to pensions. Both gentlemen were con stantly interrupted, and the House was irequently in an uproar, laughter ana ex citement alternating.

Puck, A STORY, OF A NECKLACE: The Manufacture or eari aseacm m uw Time of Louis W.uatoize, - . i The Drettv duchess of Fife "has been photographed in evening dress with a single ; string of pearls about, her neck, t says j the Ladies' Home fournal. There is somehow about this string oi ucaus . voiusuifj pure and girlish air, and it is the one necklace; that is always in good taste for a young girl. As you clasp the string of pearl beads about your neck I wonder how many ot vou know of the romance connected withtnose wnicn were nrst uiaucr i Love, which governs, all the world, comes in this story. In the time of Louis XIV. there was a maker Ot oearl rosaries and necklaces who was famous for the exquisite beauty that he gave them, lhe ladies came from far and near to buy these wondrous beads, for frorn no one, else could they be gotten. Vainly; did his rivals try to imitate the perj feet whiteness and polish of the beads manufactured by him. With all his prosperity he was very un happy and dreaded to sell his neckr laces because of the poison (said to be mercury) with which he used ,to giye them their ; .great beauty, one ,day his son was astonished to hear him say, as he; sold a particularly beautiful pearl i rosarv: "Infamous man that I am! May this crime my last!" ' ! boon after war was declared Be tween France and Flanders, and the old man was very happy because jhe thought no mpre necklaces, would be ordered. His only son was abdujt to be married, and the sweet little girl whom he had chosen so pleased the father that he said: "Ask of me any thing, for I am glad to have ;sp sweet a daughter." With great glee she answered: ; "Oh father make for me one of those beautiful necklaces1, such as only you can make." The unha'ppy man jwas speechless" with horror, and wandered through the woods all nightj wondering what fin the world he would do. When the day time came he threw himself job. a bank beside the water to rest, and there floating on the top wasjan iridescent substance at which j he could not helpjbut look; it . seemed so like his own! perals. He searched for it and -found that the effect was caused by the scales of 1-a small whitefish. He collected soihe, experimented with them, arid ucceededf m producing with them he whiteness and polish for which he had formerly been forced to tose the poison. , On the wedding day! he clasped around the neck of the beau tiful bride the handsomest string! of pearls that he had ever made, and as he kissed her sweet, red lips he knew he could be happy, for there was not a particle of poison in them. The truth of the story lies in the fact that to this day the' method of making pearl beaqs- discovered by Mattin Jacquin is still the only , one. Sp if you wear about your neck a string of beads like that which delighted ithe heart of the lovely Ursula, and 'if you have to thank the man for hav ing invented a necklace free ffom that taint of poison, you must re member that he perhaps never wduld have made his great discovery if jthe whim of la women had not driven him to it J DARING VOYAGE. Adventures of ; a Walrus' Hunter ' Who Beached the East Coast of Greenland. A veryj unusual feat of Arctic nav igation last summer is reported in Petermarin's Mitteilungen. Capt. R. Knudsen an enterprising Norwegian walrus hunter, while in pursuit of walrus pushed his little steamer Hekla into the ice along the coast of east Greenland, and landed at several points in King William's Land, the most northern part of the east coast which has been visited, and that1 only once by the German expedition under Capt. Koldeway in 18G9-'70J Capt. Knudsen first reach ed the cost water in' the middle of August, and j! in spite of the danger of being hopelessly beset, he thought himself amply repaid by the great abundance of walrus, and it did; not take him long to load up his vessel. He skirted the deeply indented coast in a northern direction, larjding now and then. He was for ome time beset in the ice and drifted north, and for some days he was fast in the pack Ion the north coaist of Shannon Island.
