It is now known that he met that lady but twice, both occasions being when he was here two years ago. He seems to have become infatuated at first sight and ifhe has for one moment since renoun his intention of securing her hand in aearrings no one but himself is aw: of it, A_week after the first meeting he called on the young lady, proposed marriage and was sum- marily rejected. Howeve ie was not dis- mayed by her refusal_and continued to. prose- cute bis suit by letter. After he left the city the young lady was fatrly inundated with love- letters and received trom Washington nearly a ton of the Senator's speeches delivered during is twelve years in the Senate, . Early last June the Senator revisited Detroit toagain prosecute hissult in person. He called constantly at the house, but never found Miss Palms at home to him. His importunities con- Uned with relentless perseverance, even going to the length of almost forcibly entering het house and stating that he would not leave until he had seen her, Soon after that occurrence Mr. Palms, meeting Senator Joueson the street, indignantly torbac him ever enterti his ho in. After the Senator's first visit to @ 18 reported to have announced that he was et to Miss Palms, This reaching the ears of the priest in charge of the Catholic church Miss Palms attended, he one day congratulated her.

Mr. Beach (N. Y.), rising, as he stated, toa question of privilege, sent to the clerk’s desk to have read an article in the New York Times of Friday last relative to the Eads ship railroad bill. Before the reading had been completed Mr, Reagan (Tex.) suggested that no question of privilege was presented. Mr. Beach said that if the gentleman had allowed the reading to be concluded he would have found that the charge was made that Captain Eads had been on the floor of the House during its session. Unfortunately, he sald, that charge was true. He knew of his own knowledge that it was true. He had no personal acquaintance with Captain Fads, but he knew him by sight, and he had seen him on the floor during the sessions of the House earnestly en- ed in conversation with members. Not only ad Captain Eads abused the privilege of the floor, but they had been ubused by many others. This’ fact was sowell known that he did not deem it necessary to ask for a committee of in- vestigation. He, however, offered a resolution directing the doorkeeper to strictly enforce rule 84 (regulating admission to the floor). ‘The Speaker. That is the duty of the door- keeper under the rules of the House. ‘Mr. Reagan inquired when Mr. Beach had seen Captain Eads on the floor. ‘Mr. Beach replied that he had seen him within the last ten days.

ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES OF THE CONGRES- SIONAL TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. The 52d anniversary of the Congressional Temperance society was held yesterday at the Luther Memorial church. After prayer by Rev. J. W. Chickering and an address of welcome from Rev. Dr. Butler, formerly chaplain ot the House, Hon. Robert B. Vance, of North Caro- lina, president of the association, introduced the secretary, Rev. Dr. John W. Chickering, who presented his annual report. This report and a stirring letter from Hon, We T. Price, of Wisconsin, were read by Dr, Chickering’s son. The report’ of the secretary made astatement concerning the aims of this and other legisla- tive temperance societies. Not merely to pro- mote wise legislation by way ot removing the shametul amount of legalized temptation which imperils our homes and our country—as Mr. Gladstone has said of Great Britain—but by way of example and appeal against what the late Bishop Potter called “the drinking usages ‘ol society,” do these men in high official posi- tion combine. Fashion and custom rule the world. Retor:ns go downward more readil; than upward among the different strata of socl- ety. The report urged its leaders, whether in the world of fashion, of business or of polities, to send out from their high places the light of a safe and pure exampie, in addition to parental and public instruction, concerning the use of alcoholic poisons, and the next generation will be largely free from tyranny ot this degrading vice. The paper alluded to recent occurrences within the writer's observation—disclosures of domestic sorrow which, if heard in that assem- bly, would move all hearts, make each one for the moment a “temperance fanatic,” and rompt from many of the high places in social lite the exclamation of a lady as the last youn, man, with flushed iace and unsteady steps, left her ‘hospitable mansion, “I will never again send such heartaches’ into other people's homes.” ‘Addresses followed from Hon. Messrs. R. B. Vance, F. A. Johnson and D, R. James, of New York; T. J. Henderson, of Illinois, and Hiram Price, of Washington. The exercises were lis- tened to by a large and attentive assembly, and were concluded with a marriage service by the pastor. — THE CASES OF THE CoNVICTED MURDERERS.— ‘The cases of Antonio Nardello, convicted of the murder of Carmine Rotunho; Richard J.
