The United States Senate chamj bar has again been the scene of a | disgraceful personal encounter in j which the aggressor cannot seek jusj tiScation for his rash behavior under | the flimsy excuse of acting "under the impluse of the moment." The episode wa3 the result of a heated | controversy between Senators Bailey, j (Democrat) of Texas, and Baveridge, I (Republican) of Indiana, had during the afternoon of the 30lh ult., in which the latter characterized the *rtry,Qrlrc< fl-ia fnrmpr na an "nnwai < ICiliaiUO Ui. t^iv AV/4U4V* ranted attack" upon Secretary Penfield of the State department. Immediately after the adjournment of the executive session, Senator Bailey crossed the aisle and walked through the seats until he faced Senaator Beveridge, who was sitting quietly and unconcernedly in a chair 9moking a cigar, and demanded a retraction of the alleged offensive sentence. This demand was calmly but firmly refused on the ground that as no insult was intended no apology was necessary. The demand was again made and again as politely and as firmly refused. Scarcely bad the - * ? * # Oi i words passed tne lips or senator Beveridge than Senator Bailey threw himself upon the Indianaian, who is a man hardly up to the average in physique, and seized him by the throat. At this point the infuriated Texan was seized by Senators Hansborough and Spooner and the bellicose Senator was forced to desist ! from wiping the door of the chamber up with his Republican antagonist. Coffee and pistols for two are not likely to follow this altercation, but according to the customs of these times in which the sacredness of character receives no respect, both parties will probably apologise, shake hands and haste to the banquet feast where lacerated feelings and wounded honor are drowned in liberal and copious potations from the flowing bowl. 0 temporal 0 mores!

A ROMANCE Grandmother had passed away. I stood in her room before the great old fashioned wardrobe from which she used to give me dainties. On my birthdays my presents came from this storehouse, and I imagined it always full of delightful things and regarded grandmother as almost a fairy. With these remembrances in my mind I opened it now. It was full of fragrant linen scented with lavender, except for a little shelf at one side, where lay several papers. I picked up a roll of yellow writing paper tied with a pink ribbon and carried it to the light. Ilad I any right to read the pages? They were discolored by age, but I knew the writing. Could grand mother have any secrets which she would wish to keep after death? Even as I debated I had untied the ribbon and discovered that I held a diary in mv hands, and the lirst words in it were of love, sweet, pure and tender, the first love of a young girl. I could not resist, and 1 read the pages, as I stood there in the fading light, which laid before me the romance of my grandmother. It was in the month of June, 1S12, on a beautiful evening, when even the flowers exhale more strongly their subtle perfumes and the human heart has a desire to open. Here in the twilight of the old garden grandmother heard the first words of love. Beneath the deeper shadow of the trees, wrapped in the sweet odor of the flowers, two figures, a young girl and a young man, walked side by side with slow steps. "Yes, Clarisse, I am going." said the young man. "And what difference does it make? Suppose I never return from the war? Who would care? 1 am aloue in the world." "You have friends, Horace." "rsone. "And I ?" said she very low. "You!" cried be. "You would care least of any." Tbere was a long silence. The grave! sounded beneatb their slow tread. Tbe night fell little by little. Horace beard a stifled sound and turned. "You are crying, Clarisse!" "You hurt me so!" "Do you love me?" She faltered, and bis arms caught ber and held ber against bis beating heart. Unresisting, she raised ber face to bis, and their lips met in a long kiss?tbe first. Horace left tbe next morning. She waited long for him. Tbe remains of tbe grand army returned without him. Still she hoped on. Years passed, and tbe war ended. Many who bad been imprisoned returned, but still be delayed. She pictured him buried beneatb tbe snow with numberless others who bad dropped exhausted along tbe line of tbe terrible march. Her parents urged upon ber tbe duty of selecting a husband from the suitors who surrounded her. She resisted as long as possible, then yielded, vanquished by their insistence and by the certainty of his death. She gave her hand to Count d'Estrarville. It "was ten years since the kiss given beneath the trees. She was sitting on a bench in the garden when a stranger approached her along the path. As he neared her she recognized him. It was Horace. lie came toward her with outstretched arms, then stopped, as though surprised at the coldness of her greeting. "It is too late," she said. "I am already married." He explained the reason of his long absence. Captivity, Siberia, the mines, all the frightful sufferings he had gone through, sustained always by a belief in her love and her loyalty to the unspoken vow made in the twilight of the garden. Never had he lost the hope that he would some day return to find her waiting for him?that their lives, so long divided, would be at last united "You lied to me that night when yen said you loved me!" he cried, the bitterness of his disappointment making kira cruel. "No," she said. "I loved you, and 1 shall always love you. It is just for that reason that you must continue dead to me. I cannot trust myself with you." And he left her. This was the story of grandmother's life as I read it from the old diary. I remembered an old man who lived in the neighborhood and whom we children called "The Chevalier." I identified him with Horace. When grandmother became a widow and when she was an old lady to us. he came to live near her, and they spent many long hours together in the sweetest and purest companionship. I understand that the two old friends were dear to one another because their affection had been founded upon something more than friendship. They were too old to have aught to fear from gossiping tongues, and they had so much time to 11 r-> tl,of tlinr r-nnld not doilY iiiaivir up iuau nivj w ^ themselves the saddened pleasure ot daily intercourse. I put tne little diary safely back in the old wardrobe and left the dear old room. The IS'atnrnl Qnestion. "I didn't know there were snakes in this region." ''There aren't."
