Capt. Dawson, of the Xrms <tmf (
Courier, delivered the oration at the j
eighth Annual Reunion of the As- ,
sedation of the Maryland Line. The |
interest in the occasion was enhanced
by tho participation in the pro

of the Confederate States of Mary

Baltimore; (ion. Bradley T. Johnson,
Hon. llujrh S. Thompson, J udoe >
Brown, (.ions. Trimble, (ieo. 11.
Stewart, and others, added eclat t<i
the occasion. The orator's subject
was "Our Women in the War,"
which he discussed as oim* familiar
with the incidents and literature of
the late war.
The subject recalls to mind the industry,
enterprise and ingenuity of
our Southern women in improvising
and preparing edible dishes and potable
bev'eraifos from such materials
and substances as could be jo?t during
the war as coffee from rye,;
cracked wheat, chestnuts, Nco., &e.,
and especially their inventiveness in

&e. The tribute paid them is, not
si in | >1 \ complimentary, I >nt honorably
deserved, and the spirit and determination
of our wnmen in tlio war is
boautifully illustrated l?v an incident
rolatcd by tlx* speaker as follows*
"The story is told of a yonnjf lady
who was engaged to be matried.
Her betrothed was, of eourse, in the!
army, but suddenly returned home, j
'Why have you left the army?' she :
inquired of him. 'I have found a
substitute,' lie replied. 'Well, I i
can follow your example, and find a
substitute, too. Ciood morning.' And
she left him in the middle of tho j
room- ii discarded lover, because he j
was a disgraced soldier."

The war was sustained and vigor's
ously prosecuted the lirst two or j
three years because the women gave
it their enthusiastic and earnest support,
but as soon as they lost hope :
and withdrew that support, the end
speedily came in the submission of
the Southern armies.

amount of money advanced by him
durino the radical reoime, to release from

thinks the conscience of South Carolinians
needed a shaking up and God
adopted thin means of accomplishing
that beneficial purpose. How then
did Minnesota, especially St. I'aul
and particularly No. 140 Kast Third
Street, escape the seismic shakes ?
His conscience is not so much dis-i
turbed by his bestowing his charity
upon an unworthy object as his infinitesimal
soul is aeitated over the j

The U)th Congress expires to-morrow.
The indications are now that an j
extra Session will have to he called
to complete the unfinished work of
the Session. The appropriation hills
are not all passed and the Kepuhli
cans fare retarding action on these
% m i r*
unfinished hills so as to force an extra
Session. They have a man with
a stiff hack-bone to deal with in the
person of President Clevevland, and
he may yet thwart their designs.
Mr. S. .1. Ahern, of St. Paul, Minnesota,

He is not only mean, hut he is
a contemptible hypocrite, and one
of the class of those who "for a pretence
make long prayers." Ilis open
letter to Mayor Courtcnuy, whi'-h is
published to-day is the true measure
of the man. Why he should damn i
the earthquake sufferers in Charleston
for the refusal of the State Gov- ,
eminent to pay the claim of Mr. K.
1 i. Wesley passes comprehension.

that tlio s" did not advertise in

any hood of the interrupt ion. It had
been said 1?v the committoo tin invalid
pensions that tlio IV sident was
inconsistent that lie should have
vetoed the Mexican pension hill.
I lad the President done so he (liraeir)
would have esteemed it one of the
noblest acts of his life: Imt when the
hill went to him, with the almost \
unanimous vote of both Houses and
the Senate, and without the press of
the country callino his attention to
its enormities, was the President J
wrono in supposing that once in a
while tie* p nsioti committee would
report a bill wnieli oueht to lie passed?

was said that there were other hills i
which, on the same principle, ou?*ht
to have been vetoed. He conceded
it; hut if the Presioent took time to
inquire into the facts in reoard to)
every hill that came from the pension j
committee alone, lie would have no
time to oive to any other public business.
There inioht he two sides to
the question of consistency. A few
days a<ni the President had vetoed a
hill appropriating $10,000 for the
distribution of seed in Texas on tin*
(/round that it was purely charity.
The chairman and nearly every member
of the invalid pension committee
had voted to sustain the President.!

that gentleman now wanted to pass

who had discovered that he
(1 Jratiftr) was the presidential aoent,
he would say that the (i. A. lb, at its

is a privileged question and can be
called up at any time, and as soon as
the previous question is demanded
all debate ceases and vot? on the report
must be taken, a majority beino
sufficient to carry it. This is Mr. Willie's
reason for sending the bill to
conference, which many of the friends
of tic* measure at first thought was a

A Wholesome Vagrant Law. t
I
Chicago, February 251.- A special
from Augusta, Ky., says: The trial ^
of Henry Dodsou, charged with be
ing vagrant, came o(T yesterday be- 1
fore Judge George I.. Bradford and
a jury. The jury after hearing all 1
tlif evidence, returned a verdict of 1 <
guiltv, and ordered him to lie ]
sold to the highest bidder at
public auction for a period of seven- (
ty-five days. .Fudge Bradford has <
fixed March 5 as the days of sale. (
This is the first case of the kind that j
has oceured in this county for a great j <
many years, and much interest was <
manifested. The proof showed l>od- (
stni to bo a worthless, insolent, vaga- j*
bond, who lived in a state of tilth '
and misery. He ill-tr?ated his fami- j

Elder Hrown is a Primitive Hap- i

pastor of East Commons Oliuroh. At ^
his first oddity of preaching was ro- '
gar Jed a.. being of the "Sam Jones
order." and was considerably enjoyed.
Three weeks ago. however, he
stepped rather beyond the line, when
lie Ueeiao'M llial l?o went to school
with Jesus I 'lii-is! and played marbles
with I (tin. The majority of the members
were s!i< eked with this profanity,
and resolved to request the reverend
oentleman t<? tone down or
ste|? out. This ultimatum was delivered
to him on Sunday nioht, and
it set him in hi?rh dudgeon. lie callI'd
upon his friends to stand by him
und see to it that the Ijord's anointed
was not maltreated. Nearly one
half the conoreinitiioii, principally
women, Hocked around the preacher,
and declared their confidence in
him.
Last nioht the congregation oatlisred
in the church for the purpose of
lispo-iier of the matter The preacher
and his friends were there also,

not until one policeman took hisr

Look his seat in the pulpit that the
I few Mr. IJrown could <?jet a hearing,
lie defied them to jref rid of him,and
leelared that, at his eonunaud, the
mirth would open up and swallow
I hem. This evidently had a orent
'fleet, for no one would jro near the
person of the preacher. It was not
until davlioht that the worshippers
retired, only to be back there t??iij(ht
