In fact tlie House committee recom- menued tbat tbe Senate amendment be not concurred lo, for reasons besi knowu to itself, and tlie House, accept lug the report of tbe committee, per­ mitted tbe bill to fall altogether Whether there existed au abiding fear that tbe President would veto tbe bill.; or whether tbe House welcomed th*- paltry pretext of the Senate amend­ ments as an excuse for Its cowardli action, is of little consequence. £he Mexican pension bill was slaughtered in tbe bouse of Its friends, while the River and Harbor bid went tbrougli with a speed that was truly amazing The Man of Iron Nerve. "In the course of a chat with your ^correspondent, an old army officer wbo tras on Grant's stall during tbe war said that during all the negotiations between tyrant and Lee, Grant never showed the slightest trace of excite­ ment or exultation,* writes tbe Wash­ ington correspondent of tbe Boston Traveller.

He bad a way ot put Ing as of! w|ien we began to question if tbe past. We believed that som< lark cloud rested over his life, and we igreed among ourselves that it was a uysiery that must be bel I sacred. T<> he men he was stern ana dignified; t;< is boys lie was so kind and gentle tbat ve grew to look uoon him as a father It was Corporal Jack who cured tlx ilisterspn our faet; wbo laughed our lomesickness away; who took part ot •ur loads away when the knap*ack» galled our backs. W ben he counted its after Bull Run ind found that three of his ten boyi- iad been left dead on the field, w« missed him for a time. When lie re- urned to us his eyes had tbe look ot •un wbo had been weeping. Later on when Company **G." swnng into tb» lashed timber at Williamsburg, and men went down by twos and threes under tbe fire of sharp shooters, it wa>- Oorporal Jack who whispered to each one of us: "Steady, my boy! I wouldn't have vou gi ve ground Juow for the world! More to the right a bit--that's It-- keep covered if you can." 1 remember how the light of battle blazed In His eyes thatcday as ha faced the ehif j, and how that light was changed So one of unutterable sorrow as we answered to enr names at night fsll and only six '*ayes" were heard. Tbu seventh lay dead in tbe timber with the whip-poor-will uttering its sad night call In the branches above him. As we came Into battle Una at Me chanicsvllle there was a look of pride lu Corporal Jack's eyes. His boys bad grown to be soldiers. Our faces were no phler than those of the sturdy, mid die-aged men fuither along tbe line.-- As we knelt beoide the log breast­ works aud opened fire I heard the Cor poral saying to himself: "Good! That's It. Just Ice tow cool they are!" We broke line after line of the gray as tbey advanced upon na, but by and by we were forced to yield. A bit of shiver ran along the |lltfts--the first symptoms of a panic--but the old Cor poral was close at hand to say: '•Steady, now! Fall back tn goei order! We are not beaten but only falling bark to a stronger position !\ Tbe liead of the oorapany broke beufc • --•the centor fell Into cqj^faslon--oar - end of the line simply shivered and S'lj then became firm as a rock. We knew not who had come out alive--who bad ' been killed--until the old Corporal , , gathered us under hit wing, as it were, long after darkness bad shut dew i, and in a broken voice said; *• r he re are but four ofmyboys lift, ... and I cannot sleep!" After the fierce tempeat of war bad h pMJ®d over the fields and forests of lavage Station there were only three ^ of us. Corporal Jack bent down over Sf|| ihe fourth, who lay dead in a pool of |fli| blood, rtrt bi'al&lt of his hair, and said, aa be reverently plaoed It In life V 1 pocket: "This la lor hi* mother, whoae heart I will be breaking over his Mm! I pray God the rest of yoo may be - spared!" After Glendale there were bat two ,v.,| of us. We toiled wearily oyer the - ^ Highway with the stars shining above us and the sullen crackle of musketry In the rear. Corporal Jack marched with us, but for a long ttm* be was silent. At last he said: "Only two left! After to-morrow-- what P At Malvern Hill he would have been our breastwork to receive the bull* ta.
