~ At a recent meeting of unmarried print
ers, the following toast was given =" Woman,
Heaven reward her,-she is always in favor
OF well conducted press"
B An independent man is one that can
live without whiskey and tobacco, and shave
himself with brown soap and cold water with
out a mirror.
IF man might as well attempt to make a
Pig pen out OF goose-quill or balance himself
on the point OF a joke, as to live peaceably with
feminine whose facial attributes are a long
nose shaped like single, gray eyes and fuz,
zy hair. We haven't tried it, but we have a
friend whose experience in that line is fully
attested by his wo-begone countenance, un-
mended unmentionables, and taste for brandy.
ALPHABETCAL.-The following verse con-
tains every letter of the alphabet except "E. -
~ inserting the word vex instead of tax in
! the second line, the verse would contain all
| the letters of the alphabet:
Alovial swain may rack his brain t-
And tax his fancy's might

HORRIBLE.-We find in the English papers
received by the Africa the following extraor-
binary case Of supposed poisoning:
DR.. William Palmer, n surgeon, but who
made betting his prOfessiOn-in other words
" q sporting man"-was In company with
gentleman named Cooke, at Rugeley, Stafford
shire, settling up some gambling accounts,
when Cooke, who had just drank a glass Of
hquor, suddenly became sick and exclaimed
that Palmer had poisoned him. Cooke died
the next day, and Palmer was arrested. A
discovery that Palmer owed a large sum to
Cooke, confirmed the suspicion AGAINST him
and II was then remembered that his pal
mers) wife had died suddenly of symptoms
similar to those that had carried of Cooke
This led to further inquiry, when the as
founding fact came gradually out that sir,s,n
persons, all Immediately connected with PAL
mer, had died suddenly, within a short time.
and on the lives Of some of these persons ba
had effected lnsurances while with others he
had betting transactions. The most astound-
ing OF these developments is that Lord Georvs
bentick, (whO, it will be remembered, died
suadenly,) had transactions with Palmer. and
Is now believed he was poisoned The
cOrpses OF some Of the supposed victims have

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
In the House. yesterday, after we went t
press, nothing was done.
Proceedings of To-day.

In the Senate, to-day, a message was re-
ceived from the President, in reply to resolu-
ton to that end adopted few days since,
covering the correspondence between Great
Britain and the United States with reference
to the Central American question in allegiance
between the two Governments.
A letter from Lord John Russell to tho
American Secretary of State, embraced in
this controversy, was read, and Mr.. Clayton,
In an able speech, advocated immediate ac
ton on the message.
MIR. Mason opposed that recommendation
until the House should be organized.
Mr. Seward, in few remarks, advocated
similar views
Mr. Cass also addressed the Senate in favor
Of full and prompt discussion of this subject
by the Senate.
In the House, Mr.. Fuller, Of Pa, after q
few remarks, in which he stated that he had,
in obedience to the wishes of his friends only,
consented to the use of his name of late in the
contest for the Speakership, formally with
drew it.
The question being on ordering the yeas
and nays on ordering the main question to be
put on Mr.. Rust's resolution
Mr.. Pringle moved to lay it on the table
laid on the table-yeas 100, nays 80.
Mr.. McMullen who voted among the yeas
occupied some time in an effort to address to
the House an explanation of his vote, but they
would not in this case permit departure from
their lately adopted rule
The House then went on to vote 123d time
| for Speaker with the following result:
Whole number Of votes cast 1903 necessary
to a choice 102:
For MIR. Banks 96, Orr 68, Fuller II, Ricaud
l6, scattering 8.
No choice having been Effected
Mr.. Faulkner offered a resolution censuring
| the Republican pnrty for persisting in keeping
| the name of Mr. Banks before the House aftel
that gentlemen had so often been rejected by
| the majority
Mr. Washburne, of Ill, moved to lay it OF
| the table; when It was withdrawn
They next preceded with the one hundred
and twenty-fOurth vote for Speaker, OF
which they wern engaged as we went to press

A BETTER EDITION OF THE BIBLE WANTED
The Edinburg Review has an article on the in
conveniences Of the common editions of the
Bible, not one, of which it says, can be read
with as much ease and comfort as any ordi
nary book The writer recommends that the
Bible should be printed in several volumes :;
that the verse system of divisions be abolished,
and the divisions be made as the subject
changes; that inverted commas should indi-
cate passages spoken or quoted; and that
there be one edition Of the Bible in which the
writings of each author should form distinct
volume by itself
