In the eouraeot the dbteeeatoa that fallowed, Mr. 11111 said this diaeuMtm bad developed the fact that all accepted tbe Thirteenth, Fourteenth and FilteeatJt Amendtaenia. The Democrats accepted them and obeyed them. lie trusted now that bis friends on the ether ekle of the Chamber would not mo home and tell their people that the Democrat did not accent them. He did not think any rood could come from the dieeuMlon, aad he thought It time to close it now. and with it close the door on the war. Mr. Kdumnda said the whole matter was Jut thU: that while the political party to whieh his friend (Hill) belonged votd against tbe Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, they now declared them valid.

Death efaDeg Detective. "Allen Pinkerton," the dog detective of the St. Joseph police force, is dead. Hundreds oar people who for tbe past eight years have stn a queer looking little black dog, with white hair around hU neck and a bushy tail that curled over his back, will read this announcejmnl witn surprise and genuine regret. The first known of the dog is that 10 jours ago be mysteriously turned up at the resilience of John O'Connor, where he remained for about two years. At I meaned himself in such a manner a ki .v, r,.,, n$ u iifln Pi.VoHnn it ln llJ0 nam8, . AUetJ 1 5ertn I after the noted Chicago detecttre. He , followed the men about day and night: ' . . mJ . a. ' first one member of the force and then anomer. aiany a uars ntgnt sag ne assisted the oificeni in discovering the whereabout of tramps who had concealed thermelvea in empty barrels and boxes, and his terrifying bark has oaueed hundreds of petty thieves to take to their heels. He prowled about the darkest corners in tbe alleys and whenever an intoxicated man was found, a yelp or two was sufficient to bring up the nearest oflfcer to look into the matter. Ms well known voice was relied on with as much conidence as the rattle of a policeman's whistle, and it was always answered. At roll-call he waa as prompt as any of the men, and on suck occasions he was the pet of the office. He had the moit wonderful ig&city, and appeared to almost comprehend the orders of the chief. Nearly every lady who rieited tbe morning market 'knew the dog, and spoke kindly to him, while the market women petted and caressed him whenever he came about, aad always had a dainty morsel with which to tiekle his palate. Of late years Allen has been growing feeble, and for the past six months or a ycT be has been able to travel with hie old associates but little. Since his health became poor he has made his home with ex-Policeman James Hudgens, at the corner of Sixteenth and Jule Streets, and has bad the utmost attention paid him bv tbe whole family. On Thursday laet Allen was taken sick, aad notwithstanding every thing was done for the poor dumb animal that man could do, he calmly died on Tuesday. During tbe laet two days aad nights that he lived Mr. Hndgese, who more than once while patrolling his lonely night watch real, laed the value of bis cheerful presence, nursed him continually, and when his death wae announced every member of the force felt the deepoot regret. He was buried in Mr. Hodgeas's yard yesterday morning, wrapped in a clean white sheet, and his remains inclosed ia a neatly made coffin. St. Jot GaxtU. Lenfse ami the Little Girl.

Laet Thursday at oaeo'eleek wae the time set fer the wedding, and the parente of the lady had prepared a suatptuoeg eliaaer, a large aeeembly of frieeda had gathered to witaeeti the nuptials and the bride proepeotive, prhp, looked hr sweetect iu her bridal trouweau.. Om o'clock came but no bridegroom put in an ap. pearanoe; two o'clock, etill be oame not; three, four o'clock and still he tarried. By thie time the preacher could stand the mU of the edibles no longer, and true to his iaeUsot and education suggested the propriety of eating dinner leet tbe vioteala should spoil. Tbe suggestion waa aotedapoa and a brother of the brkle waa diapatohed in quest ot the delinquent bridegroom. He found him at his home sitting before the fire with hta " every-day clothes" ou, one side of hU face shaved, mad seeuuBgly in trouble. He was asked as to his nonappearance and replied that he attempted to shave himself but was so seared and nervotiK that he could not accomplish it. Hts finally told the brother that if he would finish shaving him and help to trim him up he would go and report for duty. The brother kindly assisted, and the two then

started for the home of Li 4 anxious and much embarrassed intended. When within a short distance of the house the young min's heart again failed him, and he declared he could not face the crod nnd offered the brother $5 with which to pay the minis ter. 1 he brother refused the offer of the money and exerted hU perandre powers u, oa the younf man but all to no avail. Xo use talking: he could not. stand tbe ordeal aad retreed his steps noraewara. ine orotnr went home and reported the result of hU investigation, and the preacher turning to the lady said: " I'll never tie you to such & man.1' Un the following Saturdar the father of the young My sought aa in terview witn his ought-to-have-been-son-in-law, but be waa met with tbe same plea, "I can't stand to face such a. crowd; but if you will get a Squire and let ue get uerned after mrht I will try it again." The old gentleman said nay to this proposition, declaring that the cere loony must be perforaiedin the daytime, bo after being encouraged by his would-be father-in-law he consented to face the music, and Saturday evening the knot wan tied by the miulsur formerly engaged, who perhaps thought it no harm to break a vow rahlv m.idet when a good supper aad a .?o bill awaited htm. The conduct of this younjc man reminds ih of the old story of the fellow who when about to get atarried burst out crying. His father asked him what was the matter aad tbe son replied that he was ashanted to get married. His father told him be should not be ashamed aad to brace him up said; "Your mother and I got married." Yes," replied tbe "bet yoU married wether and I've got to marry a straage girl boo-boo-ooh!"
