ference, on the disagreeing vote of the two .
Houses on the Pension bill submitted a report
and recommended its adoption.
Mr. Lawrence would vote for this bill as
amended rather than have none, but he thought
it allowed pension agents to charge too high.
The average annual salaries of pension agents
is over eight thousand dollars—Pensioners
ought not to pay anything for vouchers,
They, were the only people from whom the
Government exacted a tee for paying them
what was their due. He thought the bill
ought to go to another conference committee.
The report of the committee was then agreed
to.

Mr. Butler, of Tennessee, from the Commit-'
tee on Elections,
submitted a report with a
resolution ,declaring John M. Rice, the sitting

disqualified under the Fourteenth Constitu

Zeigler bad contested for the seat •in good.
faith, and was justly entitled to be reimbursed
for his expenses. He gave notice he would
call the case up to-morrow afternoon.
Mr. Burr, from the minority of the com
mittee, submitted a report declaring Mr.
Rice justly entitled to the seat he now held.
The House then took up the Funding= bill
reported - by Mr. Schenck by the Ways and
Means Committee. He said the first section
was the most important, as it proposed to
fund a large proportion of the bonded debt,
namely, one thousand million at four per
cent. The United States had reached a point
which authorized the Government to go sue
cessfully into the • markets of • the world and
say that hereafter it proposed to pay no more
than the rate of interest herein provided. If
we continue to meet our obligations faithfully
there is no reason why we may not continue
to borrow money as - low, if not lower, than
any Government- in the world. _

THE GREAT MASTER.
Jean Ingelow and Dleken!
The Boston Transcript pubbsbes this extract
from a private letter -from Jean Ingelow :
" You know by this time the loss we have sus
tained in the death e Charles Dickens. Lit
erature seems tu.have lost her king; and one
w
to hom almost all were loyal. He was the
Jord Ol laughter - and of tears. - -The old dress -
in which mortals used to be presented. to us
by authors bad grown shabby, but he dressed
- human nature anew, showed - ito us as we
had never seen it before. Ile made what was
homely and lowly draw near, to be 19oked at
I and loved."
Nolnies on Dickens. •
In bis oration at Harvard College yesterday
Qliver - W. - llolmes - said of CharletrDickens: -
We have just seen a life finished whose
whole compass was included within the re
membered years of, many= among--us. Why
was 9ur great prose mir trel mourned by
nations and hurled with kings? Because he
- vindicated humatdtY;' not against its -Maker,-
but against. itself- Because he took the part
of his - frail; erring, sorrowing, dying fellow
ereatures, against the demonologists, who had
pretended to write the history of human
nature, "with a voice that touched - the
heart as no other had done since the Scotch
peasant was laid dovitia to slumber in the soil
-his song had hallowed. We are not called to
mourn over hiS frailties as we must sorrow in
remembering those"-of the sweet singer Of
Scotland; but we all need forgiveness, and
there must be generous failings in every true
manhood, which it makes Ilearen itself-hap
pier to pardon. "I am very human," Dickens
said to me one of the last times I met him;
and so I feel as if I might repeat a few of the
lines I wrote on a certnn occasion, as mypoor
tribute to the memory of Robert Burns, in
tender remembrance of Charles Dickens.
We praise him—not for gift divine,
His muse was born of woman;
His manhood breathes in every' line ;
Was ever heart more human ?
We love him, praise bizn,"just for this,
In every form and feature ;
•Through wealth and want, through woe and
bliss,
He saw his fellow-creature.
Aye, heaven bad set one living man
Beyond the pedant's tether;
His virtues, frailties, he may scan
weighs
A Household Monument to Charles
Dickens.
To th ,, Editor of the New York Times
there is good reason to believe that Charles
Dickens ad and has as many appreciating
readers in America, as in England, I believe
that many of them would like to have a livin
andspeaking_monunrent to his genius __and
worth in their homes. I propose, therefore,to
make a collection of the newspaper notices of
his death which appeared in different coun
tries the next day after that event, or on the
9th of June ; also of allusions to his i life and
works made in the pulpit on Sunday,

THE ISTHMUS INDIANS.
- Original Aboriginies.
Themppearanee and customs of the Indians
of the Isthmus are singular. They keep their
women as much as possible secluded from the
view,of the whites: The natives are copper-.
colored, short in stature, with deep chests, •
straight black hair, black eyes and high cheek
bones, The masculine costume is thin calico
pantaloons and shirts. The feminine infants
have a band tied round the ankle and another
just below the knee, also bands-on the wrists,
.and these are not taken • off until the
person is fully • grown, so that •the drikle,
wrists, &c., , may, be as small' as pos
sible.. The upper - part of tho---garb -of --a

SwARTIamOnE COLLEGE, DELAWARE CO.,
PA., June 29.—The closing exercises of the
first year of this institution took place to-day,
nd--notwitbstanding the-intense-heat-a—large
number of the friendand patrons of the Col
lege were 'present.. AS it only opened last
year, there were, of course, no graduates, but
the Freshman class of about twenty of both
sexes passed a very successful examination,
and will`constitute the Sophomore class of
next year. About an equal number Of those
who are now connected with the preparatory
department will enter the Freshman class for'
next year:
This institution is under the control and di
rection of a Board of Managers, chartered by
thnegislature of Pennsylvania, but indirectly
under the direction of the Ice* York, Philo
-delphia-and Baltimore Yearly Meetings of the
Society of Friends, or rather that branch com
monly called Hicksites. It is intended for the
equal education of the sexes, and will: be
largely: patronized by Friends throughout the
country, being the only institution of the grade
under the control of this branch of the society
On this continent. The first year's experi
ment has been very succemiftil, ;and the-
President Land the facn ifeel
much encouraged. The establishment
of the college is a long step forward
in the educational system of the Society, it
having in the past seldom taken any care to
secure to its children anything, beyond an or
dinary higly-school education: Some of the •
older Friends still look with suspfcion on this
as a departure from the ancient ways of the
Society. One step further is badly needed, and
that is the introddction of musical instruction.
The lack of music was sadly felt in the exer
cises of to-day:.-Some otthe younger members
interested are determined' that this step- also
shall be taken, but they , must move cautiously,
for the' " conservative 4 - will - make this their
—4l lasrditch," and ii - ght — as hard as their INMee
principles will let them. All unprejudiced out
siders will - heartily -- wish the -- musical party
success. .
The buildings are very large and handsome
and reflect great credit on Mr. Addison Hutton,
the architect, who designed them. The
grounds are shortly to be put in good order;
an efficient landscape-gardener having been
empoloyedfor the purpose, and the buildings
and surrounings will soon be as handsome
as those of any educational establishment in
the State.
As the College is the only one in the coun
try under the control of the Society of Friends
doubtless continue with the same prosperity
and vigor that has marked the, first year of its
e xis ten ce.
STRANGE STORY OF A 31IIRDER.
A Man. MEd Woman Murdered in an
Emigrant . Wagon—Their Daughter
-
Escapes. •
[From the Cleveland Herald.] - -
On -Wednesday evening, June 22d, Mr.
Benehoff, of Greenville, Pa., came to Warren,
Ohio, having in, charge a young- girl, aged 14
years, who gave her 'name as Sarah Jane
Cornelis, only daughter of Thomasi Cornelis,
late of - Jackson, -Hardin county, - Ohio,. - She
reports a terrible tragedy - as occurring on last.
Friday morning, a few miles weal or south of
Warren.
She says that her father sold his farm,within
about bevenpilles - of Kenton, some time sinVe, -
for $5,000„ and that on the 7th inst., the hus
band, Wife, and daughter left there
_fora nett
home in Erie - county, Pennsylvania.- That
they-traveled in a two-horse wagon,- running
-gear red; bed blue; and hail - a - black - oil-cloth
cover. They " camped out" at night, did, their
own cooking, and slept in the wagon. - Last
-
Thursday night or Friday morning she was
awakened by the cry from her mother, "They
are killing your father ! " She saw a man at
tack her mother, striking her—her mother
gave - a scream, but made no further noise.
- .The girl says- she then crawled out, of the
hind end of the wagon, and ran and hid in the
undergrowth near by. One of the murderers
said, "Where is that girl?" The other re--
sponded, "No matter about her, we Inuit - be
getting out of this."
They then hitched np the team and drove
off with , the wagon,taking the bodies of the
murdered man and woman with them. The
, child says she ran after them, and kept as near
' the wagon as she could for five or six miles,
being guided by the sound. She claims' to
have lost the track of the wagon when it
passed through Warren at break of clay on
- Friday - rnornirg., -- ' She - continued in a north=
easterly course, and on Saturday reached
Greenville, Penn., nearly crazed and famished.
Her story was not credited at first, but a num
ber of citizens, after a thorough catechizing of
the girl fora couple of days, became satished
that she was not deceiving them. From her
description of the last large town she had
passed through, they concluded it was War
ren. The girl was brought over the - road
Wednesday, and •recognized it as the one she
had traveled. She claims to reaognize Warren
as the place she last heard the wagon, and
says she came in across the bridge leading out
on the Canfield road. If true, the murder
must have occurred somewhere between
Warren and Canfield.
--The girl-says- her father liad.on his person
about $7,000.
She gives the names of persons residing near
her former home, in Hardin county. An uncle
on her mother's side, named Colfax ; knows
Mr. Baker and Mr. Kingsley, neighbors.
The child seems artless and truthful. Like
children usually are, raised in retired sections,
she, is quite • diffident and bashful in the
presence of strangers. It does not seem
probable she could. •concoct such a terrible,
story out of nothing, and appear as fair as she
does.
Despatches have been sent to Kenton, and
further particulars will be known of what ap
pears a fearful and mysterious case.
WOMEN'S AQUATIC RIGHTS
Bowinix Match ficrittiiburEh•
Pittsburgh is about to enjoy a sensation, for,
on the lfith day of Juno next, the Nonpareil
Club of that city into give a pic-nic at Glen
wood Grove,and a rowing-match between
such young ladles as may then be of -
aquatic turn of mind. In this sport she who is
entitlell to wear the victor's crown shall be pre
sented with a beautiful gold watch and chain.
Several emulous and ambitious oarswomen
have already entered the lists, among them
Miss Lottie McA lice, Miss Shorridan and
Miss Whalen. The Weal papers describe
Miss Lottie as a lovely girl, hardly past her
third lustrum, and as being so enthusiastic in
the cause that she not only practices with
the oars daily, but arises at the poetic
hour of "live o'clock in the morning,"
then to take a long walk. , Miss Whalen
lives - with her - parents in a floating house on
the south side. and is said to be skilful at guid
ing a skiff, although when, a short time ago,
she made her first essay with a scull, she re
ceived a most ignominious ducking in the
turbid waters of tho Monongahela. The club
is-in constant receipt of letters from ambitious
maidens who wish to join in the sport, and, as,
the regatta is to be open to all comers, a beau
tiful sight will be seen on the coming 1.6 th.,
Some ungallant oarsmen of the dingy city de
precate the moveinent, and one of them re
fused evelito let the lovely• Lottie try his scull.
Should such contemptible spite be generally
shown, there may be expected, in the words
of the -Canadian-Boat-song, a "row, brothers,

Dickens in (tamp.
Above the pines the moon was slowly drifting,
The river sang below; •
The_dlm_Sierfas, farbeyond, uplifting
Their minarets of snow:
The roaring oamp•fire, with rude Immo!,
painted
The ruddy tints of health
On haggard face and form that drooped and,
fainted
In the fierce race for wealth ;
. -
Till one arose, and from his pack's scant treat
sure - ,
A hoarded volume - drew, '
And cards were dropped from Ilan& of listleais
leisure
To hear the tale anew ;
And - then, - while - round them — shadows _gath
ered faster,
And as the Bre-light fell,
He read aloud the book wherein the Mister
Had writ Of "Little Nell."
Perhaps 'twas boyish•fancy--for the reader
Was youngest of, them all— - - - •
But, as be read, froth. clustering pine and
A silence seemed to fall ;
The fir-trees, gathering closer in the shadows,
Listened in every spray,
While the, whole camp, with "Nell" on Elm

Wandered and lost their way.
And so in mountain solitudes—e'ertaken _
As by some spell clivine— -
Their cares dropped ed fro 'them ' like the

From out the: gusty pine.' - -

Ye have one tale to tell! -
Lost is - that camp! bot let its fragrant story
Blend with the breath that thrills
With hop-vines' incense all the.pensive glory
That fills the Kentish hills.
And on that grave where English oak and
holly,
And laurel wreaths entwine,.

A CHANGE OF 'FORTUNE.
Another Thaddeus of Warsaw.
A Polish count, named Christianus Berm
dofski, is now working as a journeyman in a.
barnessmaker's shop in Galesburg, Illinois.
He was born in Warsaw in 1833. In. 1883 he
WAS involved in one of the Polish rebellions,
but escaped to this country, while his estates
were confiscated, and his mother died, his
father having previously been killed in a
skirmish. The Galesburg Republican says of
him:
"In his weary wanderings through this 'cowl
try he onceobtained tho position of professor
of languages' in a college in Minnesota,.,. but
was forced to abandon the place because ho
could not obtain sufficient salary to support
him in the commonest style commensurate
with the situation conferred. He resigned the
empty dignity, and set in with a harness-maker
in a neighboring town, to Acorn the business,'
but could not obtain enough from him even - to,
get tbe necessities, of life. After many wan
derings he finally arrived in Galesburg sown'
two years since, and for the past six or seven
months has found employment in the harness
shop Of Mr, Isaac Merrill. Last winter he re
ceived-intellig,ence that a free pardon had been
extended to him by the Czar Alexander. It
had, however, become so utterly valueless that
he refused to accept it—bis estates had been
confiscated, and his friends and relatives
aro either dead or banished. Thus bereft- -
hope, thescion of an anent citi a - ens - Willy — .
