Willis, in his last letter from London
published in the New York Mirror, says:
saw a new combination this morning
"A 'ehip and pardsol. A lady most
unhappily plain, (whose impression, how
ever, was very much Modified by the
beautiful equipage she drove) came very
near running me down at the crowded
corner of Oxford and Regent streets. -
She was driving pair of snow. white pc.
MES at famous pace, and as she laid the
lash on very vigorously, in passing by
me, discovered that the whip was but a
continuation Of the handle of the paraSol.
In holding up the protector for her own
Skin, therefore, she held up the terror Of
the skins of her ponies 1t was like so
many other things in the world, that |
went on my way moralzing.
1t should be recorded, oy the way, that
though one sees good looking and clean
addressed women trundling wheelbar-
rows in the streets of London, one sees
also that very many OF the equlpages of
pleasure are driven by iadies--the usur.
patton covering the sunshiny and volun-
tary, as well as the shady and invounta.
ry extreme Of masculine pursuit. 1t re-
ally does somewhat modify ones ideas of
the fragile sex, however, to see some
hundreds of them mounted on spirited
blood horses every day, and every third
carriage in the Park driven by the fingers
that we are taught to press the like Of, so
very lightly.

A DEAD Bopy TRACED BY QU1oKsI1

A DEAD BODY TRACED BY QUIcKsIL-
vER.-We copy the following from the
SlatI'ordshire (Eng.) Mercury:
"An inquest was held on Monday, the
18th Of June, before G.. Hincnilinic, Esq,
Coroner at the house of Mr.. Thomas
Sewer, Sum Inn, Brockmoor, on the bo-
dy OF Jane Webb, aged six years, who
was found drowned in the canal near Mr..
Frimstone's work, at the ley Coliery.-
1t appears tina: she was sent with her
sisters break fast abou: hali-past eight in
the morning, and on her return slipped
into the water. Nothing more was heard
OF her until the afternoon when they
began 10 drag the canal for the body, and
were about giving it up when a young
woman, who was standing by, stated il
they would get loaf of bread, and pu,
some quicksilver on it, it would float to
the body, il it was in the water. The
young woman insisted she had seen it
tried, and proved before; the loaf and
quicksilver were put into the water, and
much to the astonishmeht of all, the loaf
hoated TO certain spot, turned round
several times and remained. What is
more extraordinary, beneath the spot
occupied by the LOAF, the body of the
child was found"

THE TwENTY-NINrH CONGRESS.

The New York Journal of Commerce
gives list of the Goth Congress, from
which We lave prepared the following
analysis;
There will be (including FIorida) ff
ty-iour members of the Senate, of whom
four are yet TO be appointed. OF the fi-
ty actual members at this day, twenty
four are Wings and Nv enty SIX Democrats.
The four to be appointed-vz: one each
from Virginia, Mississippi, Indiana and
Tennessee-wlll most probably be Demo
Gratis, making the Senate, when full, TO
consist of twenty-four Wings ard thirty
Democrats. The term ofservice of twelve
Wings and five Democrats expires in IS
Al; of four Wings and thirteen Democrats
in 1919; of eight Wings and six Demo-
Gratis in 1851.
Three Of the four to be elected will
hold Office until 1851 the fourth, from
Mississippi, Tin the place of Mr.. Walker. }
until ls47. The Senators from Florida
have not yet been classed.
The House OF Representatives has all
been elected with the exception of six
members from Maryland and the four
from Mississippi-and four vacancies, one
each from FLORIDA, Massachusetts, Maine
and N. Hampshire. There are also TWO
vacancies from death-one in New Jer.
sey one in Louisiana. We give state
ment Of the political character Of the
House so far as elected, and comparison
in the same point Of view with the former
Congress. The States are arranged in
the order in which the elections took
place -

REsURRECTIoN OF THREE THOUSAND
YEAR-OLD PEA.-ln the year 1898, Sir
Gardner Wilkinson brought from Egypt
a vase of great antiquity, which had been
dug out mummy pit. This vase was pre-
scented TO the British Museum and was
opened in the presence Of several anti
quarians (; but it contained only a small
quantity Of dust and few seeds, among
which were peas, yetches, and wheat. -
Three Of the peas were presented to Mr..
Grimstone by 7. J. Petigrew, who kept
the peas by him until 1914 when, having
purchased the Herbary at llighgate, be
set them IN pot Of composite. The pea
soon sprang from its three thousand year
trance into vegetable life, but yellow, as
fit had been Jaundiced with a diseased
liver This yellow appearance, arose,
no doubt, from its being confined in a
hot frame. When it had attained sufli.
cient height it was carefully transplanted
into the open garden--the stalk thrived,
blossomed, and, in August last, M. Grim
stone harvested ffty-ive seed from its
pods. These fly-6ve peas have been
planted this year, and all of them have
thrown up their stems, .her blossoms, and
their pods, and again gave hope for an
abundant increase. This pea has many
peculiari,ies, one ofwhich is, that the pod
projects through the blossom, leaving the
latter behind it, while the generality OF
of peas push, or rather carry off the bios
som at the Tin of their nods Mr. &, rim
stone was offered last year, twenty pounds
for twenty of these peas, which he refu.
sed to accept, preierring rather to multi.
ply than to sell. The bloom of this pea
is white and Of bell form; that of our
pea having wings something like those o!
a butterfly. a visit TO Mr.. Grimstone' S
herbary to see this production from the
antiquated Egyptian grandfather pea, is
well worth the trouble.

BURR AND BLENNERHASsETr.- in the
last number of the American Review is a
paper by William Wallace, entitled Ben-
nerhassett and Aaron Burr. The follow
ing from contemporary in relation to the
article strikes u, as correct:
1t is paper Of deep personal and his
torc interest. As a biography OF thai
gifted but unfortunate IRISH exile Hartman
Blennerhassett-it is valuable. The light
which IS thrown upon his intercourse
and transactions W tn Burr, by aid Of a
clear history oftae case and the testimony
or manuscripts now first published, in our
opinion fully exonerates hImtrom all trea.
sonable designs OF practices, for suspicion
Of which no was arrested and on charges
Of high treason, was victmiSed by an in.
luriaIed mob and finally stripped of fortune
and influence, driven back to Great Britain
to die IN penury and obscurity. He was
the innocent victim of Aaron Burr; a man
whose character is sketched with terrible
severity but strict fidelity by Mr.. Wallace.

INDIAN STATEs.-The Albany Argus
suggests a thought which, we confess, is
to US new one, and 1t is one on which we
love to dwell. 1t is that of an Indian
State admitted to our Confederacy The
rapid advance Of the Choctaws and Cher.
okees in the arts of civilized life, and in
education and religious knowledge, has
led the friends of the Indian TO think Of
the erection of Indian States. The Argus
remarks that these nations are coming
into a condition, which will be fully wor-
thy Of alliance with such a republic as
ours, and there is no reason to doubt that
they would do honor to such relation.
How wonderful would il be, If The aborI.
ginal race, driven back end down.trodden
so long, should finally rise to take the
standing and enjoy the privileges Of en-
lightened nations. Wonderful indeed
would it be il our red brethren should take
their place in our great fraternity, and
acknowledge to be what they truly are,
owners, in part at least, and therefore
rightful rulers of this country !--PhiadeI.
