THE OLD FARM GAVE.

Where, where is the gate that once used to di.
vide
The old shaded lane from the grassy road side'
! like not this gate so gay and so bright,
With its gitteripg latch and IFS trelis of white.
It ls pretty, | own, yet oh dearer by far,
Was the red rusted hinge, and the weather
warped bar.
Here are fashion and form of modernized date,
But I'd father have looked on that old farm
gate.
Twas there where my sisters would gather to
play,
In the shadows of twilight OF sunny midday,
How we'd laugh and run wild mid those hillocks
of sand,
Where temptations existed no child could with
stand:
But to swing on the gate rails, to Chamber and
ride,
Was tho utmost of pleasure, of glory and pride.
And he car of the victor or carriage of state,
Never carried such hears as the cid farm gate.
Oh fair is the barrier taking its place,
But itdarkens picture my soul longed to trace,
sigh to behold the rough staple and hasp,
And the rails that my glowing hand scarcely
could clasp.
Oh how strangely the warm spirit grsdges Il
part
With the commOnest relic once linked TO TIKI
heart!
And the brightest of fortunes, the kindliest fate
Would not Danish my love oIthe old farm gate

templated in the act of 1886, and amendatory
thereto, therefore,

The question then being on the adoption 1i tne
resolution as amended, ii was decided IN tie al

MIR. Dunn offered the following preamble and
resolution:
WHEREAS, it has been gravely asserted IN
this Hall, by demagogues in the late canvass
and by party presses, that the State oil Indiana !,
has been so profiigate in its system OF internal
improvements, and that its most important lnte-
rests have been mismanaged by those charged
with them, that nought but bankruptcy and rum
awaits US: And whereas, the circulation oil such
statements. in connection with the spirit oil de-
magogueism for the last few years so prevalent
in the land, has discouraged many oil the best
citizens, and greatly impaired the credlt oil the
State at home, and we fear, much more ABROAD;
therefore, r
Resolesd, That as the Representatives o.
high minded, law abiding people, 1t IS the outy
| Of lie Senate and House of Representatives o.
the State OF Indiana, to use every proper means
10 disabuse the public mind in reference 10 I'M

resources ofthe State should be concentrated,

deficiency in the revenue of 1910, to meet the
current expenses of 1S4l, and to pay the int
rest on tie public debt not otherwise PROVIDED

| found necessary, and that provisions should be
! made Immediately by the sale of State bonds
| or otherwise, for the payment of the debt due
TO the State Bank, Of the balance due to con

ELECTRICITY IN STEAM-N is only few
weeks since the fact was made known in this
country that a severe shock of electricity had
been experienced on placing the hand in the
steam escaping fran a boiler on one of the En-
glish Rail Roads, and already several series of
experiments have been made by our scientific
men to determine the cause. Among these are
the experiments of Professor Lecke, of the Me
deal College of Ohio. The result he has pub
lished in the Cincinnati Gazette His last com
munication we give below. It will be seen that
the Professor is of opinion that electricity is pro-
duced by the evaporation of water in the
boiler. This theory has heretofore had advo-
Gates as well as opponents. M. Pouilet of France
denies the production of electricity by evaPora-
ton, while Mr.. Harris, Of England, states that
he has obtained very slight indications of electri-
cal excitement by evaporating water from a
clean platinum cup. The Prof, :sor remarks,
that to obtain an exhibition Of the electricity, it
is necessary that the boiler with which expert
ments is made should be insulated He thinks
that the cause of the shock being felt from the
boiler mentioned in the English papers, was,
that the engine was accidentally insulated upon
dry timber.

YOrING BY FORCE OF ARMS!

In nearly every precinct in Middle Florida, the

precincts in Jefferson with all the forces he could
muster They were all Withdrawn from the pro-

TWENTY sixth CONGRESS- SECOND
SESSION


Monday Dec. 7. The Senate was called to
order by Asbury Dickens, Esq. the Secretary,
in the absence of both the Vice President and the
President pro TEN. Fifteen Senators present,
among them Mr.. Prentiss of Vermont not
quorum-so the Senate adjourned. In the House
100 members appeared, all the Vermont members
except Mr.. Fletcher present; not n quorum, and
the House was therefore obliged TO adjourn.
Tuesday, Dec. g. No quorum in the Senate
In the House quorum appeared; Mr.. Fletcher
of Vt. was present John Quincy Adams gave
notice that he should tomorrow move to rescnd
the rule of the House, excluding abolition petit
tons.
WedneSddy Dec. 9. There being n quorum
present in each House, the Presidents Message
was transmtel; in the Senate $500 copies, and
in the House 10000 copies were ordered TO be
printed. Mr.. Adams called up his resolution, re-
scinding the rule excluding abolition petitions,
when Mr. Jeniler of Md. moved to lay it upon
the table. Mr.. Adams objected the rule, he be-
lievcd, was direct violation OF the Constitution,
and he wished the question fairly met After
suggestions by Messrs. Banks of Va. and vii.
motion to lay the resolution on the table was car
red, 50 TO 80. The resolution will be called up
again.
Thursday, Dec 10. In the Senate The Stand =
ing committees were announced nearly the sa me
as at the last session, substituting The now Semi
tors in place OF those resigned. The only other
change we have noticed, is the omission of Sena-
tor Phelps from the Committee on Military Al-
fairs; mere mark, probably, of Presidential
spte to punish our Senator for daring to tell some
unpaatable truths touching Poinsett's army bill
on Pensions, and on Patents ard the Patent Office
Mr.. Phelps is OH the committees on Indian AZ
fairs, Gu Roads and Canals, and on Engrosset
Bills. Several notices of bills TO be introduced
were given, among them one by Mr.. Prentiss O
bill to establish board of Commissioners to ex
anime claims against the United States.
In the House, Mr.. Stanley of N. C. moved tt
reconsider the vote of yesterday, ordering tn,
printing of $4,000 copies of the message with, ant
500O without, the accompanying documents-an an.
nouncing his intention, if successful, to move th
customary resolution, viz. 5000 with, and 1900

From the reports of the commanding officers,
1t appears that the trade is now principally carried
on under Portuguese colors and they express the
opinion that the apprehension of their presence
on the slavecoast has, in great degree, arrested
the prostitution of the American flag to this inhu'
man purpose. 1t is hoped that by continuing to
MAINTAIN this force in that quarter, and by the ex-
ertions of the officers in command much will be
done to put stop to whatever portion OF this raf.

partment, as to the execution and operation OF the
subtTeasury law, which lays upon The table until
the next sitting MIR. Jenier Of Md. moved that
n select committee be appointed on the tobacco
trade which was agreed to. Foreign Govern
menls derive revenue from duties imposed on
American tobacco alone, far greater than the rev.
enue derived by this country from all the pro-
ducts of all other countries OF this the raisers
OF tobacco in Maryland and Virginia justly and
loudly complain and they now demand either,
that other nations shall remove their duties on to.
bacco, or that the u. s. Government shall impose
countervailing duties on foreign products: in a
word, the tobacco raisers are tor tariff, SO long
as other nations continue their present policy
The tobacconists are right, and we can hardly re-
greet that they forced, by their interest, to see
that the farmers of the North and West are also
right in making similar demand for protection
to their interests. Both Houses adjourned to
Monday.
